Chapter 225 Ball Lightning! Flying Fire Meteor Moon(1/2)

Xu Xian's hearing is so accurate. Compared with being unable to see the speed and altitude of the aircraft, the disappearance of the upper and lower display components does not have a great impact on him.

He could probably tell the magnitude of the aircraft's thrust from the sound of the engine running. But among the rumbling sound of the engine running, Xu Xian heard a discordant noise.

It was like the sound of fingernails scraping against the blackboard. It sounded very sharp. However, Xu Xian couldn't understand what was going on. If he could even hear the engine failure with his ears, then he would be like a god.

character.

Xu Xian now didn't know the speed and altitude of the plane, so he had to rely on a palm-sized backup instrument to temporarily maintain the plane's pitch angle, hoping that after leaving the thunderstorm cloud, the ice accumulation on the plane would improve and the external probe would be able to work again.

When the airspeed is unreliable, the aircraft's attitude, N1, ground speed and radio altitude are still reliable. However, because all six display components have black screens, N1, ground speed and radio altitude cannot be displayed on the backup instrument at all.

, only the attitude of the aircraft can be seen.

As long as the attitude and thrust are roughly the same as before, the airspeed and descent rate of the aircraft should not change significantly. Of course, this can only meet Xu Xian's expectations under a relatively ideal environment. Today, the attitude of the aircraft is almost

Without much stabilization, Xu Xian just took a rough pitch angle. If he continued to demand accuracy, Xu Xian himself couldn't do it.

In fact, compared to the thrust and altitude of the aircraft, Xu Xian was more worried about the airspeed issue.

He can roughly tell the thrust of the plane from the sound. As for the altitude, once the plane is out of the clouds and can reach the ground, with visual reference, the altitude is not that important.

Of course, if the cloud base is extremely low, just pretend he didn't say it, then it's just luck, and you can't blame him.

However, not knowing the current airspeed is quite a fatal situation. It rained all night, and due to ice accumulation on the aircraft's probe, the overspeed warning and stick shaker warning had no reference at all.

If the overspeed warning and stick shaker warning are reliable, even if Xu Xian cannot see the airspeed, he will not panic. Through these two warnings, Xu Xian can know whether the aircraft speed is too high or too low, which is convenient for

Make corrections. But now there is a problem with these two warnings. He does not know which one is the overspeed warning or the stick shaker warning, or which two are right or wrong. In this way, he cannot respond to the aircraft's airspeed being too high or too low.

.

Whether the speed of the aircraft is too high, causing the load on the aircraft to be too large, which eventually causes the aircraft to disintegrate, or the speed of the aircraft is too low, causing it to enter a deep stall and the aircraft to fall directly, this is something Xu Xian cannot accept.

But the reality is that he is such a rogue, Xu Xian can only use some swords and take an eccentric approach.

It's just like the feeling of a car going over a speed bump when the speed is high or low. If the speed of the aircraft is very high, when it encounters bumps, the vibration of the aircraft will appear larger and harder. In comparison, if the speed of the aircraft is

It is relatively small, although the amplitude is also a bit large, but the body feeling is relatively soft, like a feeling of swaying in the wind.

This is a rather unreliable method, because it itself is directly related to the intensity and direction of turbulent flow. The conclusions drawn based on somatosensory analysis alone are often different from the actual situation.

But Xu Xian really had no choice but to use this seemingly absurd method.

To be honest, even a quick-thinking person like Xu Xian can still have some ideas. Others may have their minds in a mess at this time. Even Xu Xian's method doesn't seem very reliable.

In addition, there is one thing that Xu Xian is more concerned about. That is that all six display components failed, and that was just after encountering lightning. He had to wonder whether the lightning had hit the aircraft body, thus affecting the aircraft's electrical system and display system.

.

If the aircraft leaves the thunderstorm area for a while, can the aircraft's display system recover? Without the display component, he will lose many ways to obtain information, such as MAP map mode, ground speed, and radio altimeter. These data sources are very important to Xu Xian

, each one is very important.

In fact, as long as one display component is working, Xu Xian can transfer the required display page to the corresponding working display component through display conversion. However, now a total of six display components have failed, Xu Xian then

There's just no way around it.

And the generator driven by the No. 2 engine was detached just now, was it also due to lightning?

After trying to turn on and off the No. 2 generator switch to no avail, Xu Xian gave up and started the APU directly in order to connect to the second AC power source.

However, just when Xu Xian was struggling with the failure of the display system and electrical system, there was another sudden light outside the windshield. This time, Xu Xian saw it really clearly, a thick electric snake galloping from the sky.

It seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth, and just from the visual point of view, Xu Xian felt that he was not very far away from this lightning.

While Xu Xian was still congratulating himself that he did not hit that extremely terrifying lightning, an orange ball with a diameter of about two meters slowly fell down from somewhere above Xu Xian's line of sight.

As wide as the palm of a hand, it landed outside the windshield like a leaping elf.

At this moment, time seemed to have stood still. Xu Xian's face was reflected in the orange light, and he was a little distracted for a moment.

After only a moment of confusion, Xu Xian seemed to hear the crackling sound of electricity. Before he could figure out what was going on, a harsh whistling sound sounded from his earphones, as if it was about to penetrate his eardrums.

The howling sound was so sharp that Xu Xian couldn't bear it at all. Subconsciously, he covered his ears with his left hand and roared in a low voice, with the extreme pain on his face.

At this moment, it was like an iron needle was stirring in Xu Xian's mind, and he almost fainted from the pain.

After taking off his headphones and throwing them aside, Xu Xian felt a little better after getting rid of the evil sound that penetrated his mind.

In this short moment, Xu Xian felt as if he had been fished out of the water, sweating profusely. But after this experience, Xu Xian's mind felt a little clearer. He slowly raised his head and looked at the small and cute round star.

Ball, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a breath: "Could it be..."

Just as Xu Xian's words came out, the moment the orange ball fell and touched the nose radome, Xu Xian's breathing stopped.

At the last breath of Xu Xian's breath, the orange ball suddenly shrank. Xu Xian's mind went blank and he blurted out four words: "Ball Lightning!"

boom!

There was thunder on the ground, and a huge explosion occurred at the nose of the plane. The energy generated directly caused the nose of the plane to dive violently. Xu Xian could not control it at all.

After the explosion, only half a second passed. The sky was as bright as day again. This time, everything around the plane was illuminated clearly.

Hail, rain, see clearly!

However, Xu Xian had no time to distinguish all this. After the explosion caused the plane to bow its head, he quickly reacted and wanted to correct the attitude of the plane. But before he could bring up the pole, there was an indescribable downward pressure.

The airflow directly hit the aircraft body hard, and the attitude that was about to increase was instantly suppressed, and the nose-down attitude continued to increase, until it reached a nose-down angle of nearly fifteen degrees.

A depression angle of ten degrees is already a complicated state, let alone a depression angle of fifteen degrees.

At this moment, Xu Xian was almost facing the ground. The depression angle was so great that the speed of the aircraft would be completely out of control.

Xu Xian immediately lowered the throttle to idle to prevent the aircraft's airspeed from soaring beyond the limit. But now the aircraft's downward attitude was too violent. Even if the throttle was turned back, the gravitational potential energy released could also reduce the kinetic energy of the aircraft.

Pushed to an extremely dangerous point.

The speed of the aircraft became faster and faster, and the load on the aircraft body increased rapidly under the dual effects of high speed and strong turbulence. Finally, at a certain moment, an extremely crisp cracking sound was heard somewhere on the right wing of the aircraft.

...

Qingyuan Group Headquarters Conference Hall.

In the conference hall, an extremely grand meeting was being held at this time, and the protagonist was really Xu Qing.

Due to Xu Qing's huge influence among the public, especially teenagers, he would organize meet-and-greets from time to time in order to spread positive energy, and the target audience would be the huge Xu Qing fan group.

The main content of the meeting was for Xu Qing to talk about some life experiences and ways of doing things in the world. Occasionally, he would also talk about some of his recent plans and some insights into life.

The format of the entire meet-and-greet is actually almost like a large-scale tea party between Xu Qing and his fans.

Of course, Xu Qing does not expect to rely on a meeting to change a person's character. He just hopes that this will help more people pay more attention to civil aviation.

Although Xu Qing is not the kind of fame and fortune maniac, it is still necessary to properly manage the supporter group.

This kind of meeting has been held several times before. In the past, Xu Qing could talk for two or three hours by himself without taking a break. But this time, Xu Qing ended the meeting hastily after talking for about an hour and a half.

The short time obviously left many fans still unsatisfied. After Xu Qing stepped down, they surrounded Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was a little helpless at the excessive enthusiasm of the fans. It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to be a big name and cut down the time, but that if he didn't keep it all, he would lose control of his hands.

There were many reporters at this meeting, and with so much spotlight shining on him, something strange about him would be noticed. Just in case, it would be better for him to escape early while he was still in good condition.

One and a half hours is not very long, but it is not very short either. Fans may feel that they are not satisfied yet, but they will not be dissatisfied. Xu Qing still grasped the duration of the meeting very well.

Although fans surrounded Xu Qing, Xu Qing had nothing to fear. Most of his fans were not extremely crazy, so if they surrounded him in the hope of saying a few more words to him, there should be no problem.

Extreme behavior.

Sure enough, the fans around Xu Qing consciously kept a distance from Xu Qing and did not squeeze Xu Qing too much. Some of them wanted Xu Qing to sign an autograph, some took photos silently, and some wanted to ask Xu Qing questions. Although there were many people in the venue,

There are many, but they appear orderly.

While dealing with fans, Xu Qing suddenly saw a familiar woman in the crowd. He always felt that he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

This feeling made Xu Qing very uncomfortable. Finally, out of curiosity, Xu Qing took the initiative to ask the woman: "Hello, do we know each other?"

The eyes of the little boy who was with the woman shone, and he grabbed the woman's sleeves with great excitement: "Mom! Xu Qing really knows you!"

The woman patted the little boy on the head and smiled at Xu Qing: "Mr. Xu, we met on flight 9517. I didn't expect that you would still remember me!"

"9517?" With this prompt, Xu Qing knew who it was instantly: "Are you that...that flight attendant, the flight attendant who took my ID?"

On the Eastern Flight 9517, the captain suddenly fell ill and fell into coma, so the flight crew temporarily searched for the pilot on the plane. Xu Qing was reluctant at first, not wanting to cause trouble. But later it turned out that no one responded, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak out.

own identity.

At that time, a flight attendant on board 9517 asked to check Xu Qing's ID for safety reasons. Xu Qing gave his business license, and the flight attendant took Xu Qing's business license to go to the flight attendant for verification. And that flight attendant was right in front of him.

This woman.

"Mr. Xu still remembers this, I didn't expect it!" The woman was also a little surprised. She and Xu Qing actually met once on flight 9517. Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later, Xu Qing actually remembered it.

This memory is simply amazing.

Xu Qing laughed and said: "I don't have much ability, I just remember things well. When I look at you, I feel like I have seen you somewhere. This child is you..."

"It's my son!" The woman pushed the little boy's back, indicating that he could take a few steps forward: "Don't you want Uncle Xu's autograph? Isn't now a good opportunity?"

"Your son? Wow, you got married quite late!" Xu Qing said with a smile.

Xu Qing felt that she should be a few years older than the woman. Xu Qing's son was already an adult, but her son looked about ten years old.

"Yes!" The woman smiled softly. Seeing that Xu Qing didn't have any airs with her, she felt a little more relaxed.
