Several beams of searchlights shone on the fuselage of the Y-8, allowing the tower to see her figure clearly.
At this time, Yun-8 was like a paper plane that was thrown into the sky on a windy day. It was swaying in the wind and rain with no way to rely on it. It was like a confused young man who wanted to land but found that he didn't know where to go.
You can never go back to the past.
Li Zhan was surprised to find that no matter how the Y-8 shook, it always fell steadily and slowly. Her nose did not face the runway, but faced the tower, but the entire fuselage was completely on the landing route.
.
This captain is very skilled!
Li Zhan saw the captain's thoughts very keenly. The sharp tilt of the fuselage was deliberately done by the captain to avoid invisible turbulence. Without thousands of flight hours, there would be no control over the Yun-8.
The flight envelope and the performance of this aircraft are well known, but it is absolutely impossible to operate it so accurately! Li Zhan even believes that such precise operation is comparable to the technology of the Bayi Aerobatic Team!
You know, this is a medium-sized transport aircraft!
He was bold and careful, and was not affected by the pressure brought by hundreds of officers and soldiers on board the plane during the operation. This kind of psychological quality is something Li Zhan can be ashamed of.
Something that shocked Li Zhan happened. Looking at Lun-8 who was about to roll over, he was swaying like a drunkard. People couldn't help but want to go over and help him hold the runway, but no matter how hard he shook, he couldn't turn over.
Fix it like a magnet.
Yun-8 landed diagonally, with a very stable posture, and then slid diagonally.
Li Zhan was surprised to find that the captain cleverly used the lateral friction of the tires to offset part of the influence of the crosswind, allowing the plane to glide forward smoothly, albeit diagonally.
The Y-8 taxied directly from the runway to the parking bay. Li Zhan immediately ordered the equally stunned fire rescue personnel on standby to return to their respective posts and cancel the emergency plan.
Not long after, the rear hatch of the Yun-8 opened, and capable Marines ran down in two lines, and then unloaded the disaster relief supplies that were randomly carried, although many soldiers vomited while working in the process.
Li Zhan was stunned and praised sincerely, "This captain is so awesome."
"The Y-8 pilot with the longest flying time, the transport pilot commander Wang Shigui, you were probably still playing in the mud when he flew the J-7." Yu Chenglin said with a smile, relieved.
"It's true that there are people outside the world." Li Zhan said sincerely.
Yu Chenglin raised his chin, as if he was the one who had just landed the plane, and said, "You have moments when you are convinced."
I thought Li Zhan would sincerely nod modestly, but Li Zhan said, "If you drive like this, the engine life and other things will be consumed very quickly, right? At least the tires of the landing gear are seriously worn. By the way, deputy commander, open the eight tie rods
How much does it cost?”
Yu Chenglin's chest hurt very much, and he panicked when he was scolded inappropriately. He could only feel so angry that his chest ached.
"Deputy commander, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Zhan asked with concern.
Yu Chenglin took a deep breath and held back his anger, "I'm fine."
Li Zhan was about to ask for the lever fee of Yun-8 when a lieutenant colonel strode in. Turning around, he saw that it was the air force lieutenant colonel who had contacted him before. Li Zhan only came to his senses at this time. Although the deputy
The regimental commander is here, but until the end of the mission, he is under the command of the air force lieutenant colonel.
"Comrade Li Zhan." Air Force Lieutenant Colonel nodded towards Yu Chenglin, walked directly to Li Zhan, and asked with a very serious expression, "The photos you took provide timely and accurate basis for the decision-making of the flood control headquarters. The meteorological department informed
, heavy rain continues upstream, and the possibility of debris flow disasters is increasing. The headquarters hopes that you will go out for aerial photography again. I heard that your aircraft is equipped with advanced night aerial photography equipment."
Li Zhan stood at attention and said, "Resolutely obey the order!"
The air force lieutenant colonel nodded, patted Li Zhan's arm, walked to Yu Chenglin, and said in a deep voice, "Deputy Commander Yu, the situation is urgent and the headquarters urgently needs first-hand information. I will tell you the specific area, but
I am a layman on the specific actions, and I still need you to plan them."
Yu Chenglin said, "The responsibility lies."
The air force lieutenant colonel immediately circled the areas that needed to be reconnoitred on the map. They were all mountainous areas in the upper reaches, concentrated on the edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where there are huge differences in terrain. In mountainous areas, heavy rains or earthquakes will be accompanied by mudslides.
disaster.
In the past, the harm of debris flow disasters was not reflected because many years ago people in mountainous areas lived scattered. But now with economic development and the expansion of cities and towns, more and more urban areas and towns are spreading in mountainous areas.
Go, the rolling mountains are not only beautiful natural scenery, but also a sword of Damocles hanging over more and more people's heads.
"This is the No. 3 dam, which is also the largest and most important dam in the Three Rivers Basin. Before I came here, I measured the water level at 139 meters, which is not far from the highest warning position." The lieutenant colonel looked solemnly and pointed to the three rivers on the map.
Regarding the position in the middle and lower reaches of the basin, he said, "Seven flood peaks have appeared in the middle and upper reaches. With the size of the No. 3 dam, it is no problem to block seven flood peaks, but..."
At this time, Zhang Yuan came over. The lieutenant colonel looked at him. It was obvious that they had already communicated with each other. Zhang Yuan took over and said in a deep voice, "The ultra-low pressure formed by Super Typhoon Ma Li is like a huge magnet, attracting people from all over the world."
The cold air mass moving southward from Siberia is turning and accelerating eastward. In the process, it will bring continuous heavy rains to the region, which are heavier than what we have seen before. We are worried that in a short period of time, the water level of No. 3 Dam will
The critical value will be exceeded, and if this happens, Dam No. 3 will have to open the gates and release water."
Li Zhan understood. "Flood discharge? Not only do I need to conduct aerial photography of the middle and upper reaches of the river basin to look for possible debris flow disasters or barrier lakes, but I also need to find suitable flood discharge areas?"
"Captain Li, look here." The lieutenant colonel did not answer directly, but pointed to the satellite map and said, "This is the edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. There is a drop of thousands of meters. Most of the flood peaks are formed here, and then they rise very quickly.
Strengthen to the east, this is the virgin forest area, we don't know what the situation is here, so we have no way to come up with a feasible plan."
Li Zhan nodded slowly, "I understand. First, to conduct aerial photography of towns and cities in the middle and upper reaches of the river basin, and to include as many inhabited areas as possible. The main purpose is to provide early warning time for debris flow disasters. Second, to
Conduct reconnaissance on the edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to understand the topography of the flood peak formation area and the actual flood situation."
"Yes, you summed it up right." Zhang Yuan said.
Li Zhan glanced at them and said expressionlessly, "Commanders, with all due respect, it is difficult to detect the precursors of mudslide disasters by taking aerial photography at night. It is better to scout villages in the mountainous areas to see if there are still people stranded. I think
People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who may be affected are already being evacuated, right?"
"Yes, the evacuation work has already begun." The lieutenant colonel nodded and said, "It is true that there are stranded people."
"It is impossible to stay at home without turning on the lights at night. Even if there is no electricity, I will light a lamp or something. This is much more reliable for me to detect than looking for the precursors of a mudslide." Li Zhan said, "The second point is not
Problem, high-speed cameras at night can take large-area and precise shots of topography and watershed conditions."
Yu Chenglin also noticed that this lieutenant colonel, who also wore an Air Force camouflage uniform, had basically no flying experience, had meteorological skills, and had a strong local aura. He was probably from a meteorological department unit that often dealt with the local area.
The lieutenant colonel asked Yu Chenglin, "Deputy commander Yu, what do you think?"
"I completely agree with Comrade Li Zhan's suggestion," Yu Chenglin said.
The lieutenant colonel said, "Okay, please start working immediately. I will wait here and report the latest situation to the headquarters at any time."
Li Zhan flew away from the tower.
It’s time to be a handsome man on a rainy night, but the most beautiful man tonight is Captain Wang Shigui.
