The Ninghe was in position at the starting point of the runway, and the flaps had been adjusted to the take-off position.
In front of Shangluo, the two captains with their backs to him were making final confirmations.
This aircraft has two systems: fixed thrust and pulse detonation. Four sets of oil, electricity, hydraulic and gas instruments are arranged in the cabin, with a total of eight zones. In front of the driver, above his head, on his side, everywhere within reach of his hands were filled with instruments and switches. The ones that couldn't fit were piled on the entire wall of panels next to Shangluo.
The two systems are forced together, leaving almost no room for double insurance. Except for basic instruments such as gyroscopes and altimeters, the instruments in front of the two pilots do not have any duplicate dials or switches. Each switch has its own unique and necessary purpose. Specifically, the pulse detonation part is in the main driver's seat, the thrust rocket part is in the co-pilot's seat, and the two people drive the two systems respectively.
Even a normal person with three heads and six arms would not be able to handle this hard-built mechanical monster. But monks in the Qi training stage can.
"Unlock the fuel shutoff valve, boost pumps one through six start, and the injector starts."
Captain Lin made a final inspection of the deflagration pulse engine. Although they always appear to be calm and collected, they are actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. All operations will be reported word for word to the colleagues sitting next to them, and they will never be done without "verbal communication". It's just that the two Nanyang captains not only communicated in Minnan dialect, but also spoke as fast as gibberish, which completely touched Shangluo's blind spot.
"Adjust the igniter to the dual-fire position to activate. Prepare to ignite!"
After saying that, the two of them put their hands on the button on the central console. In order to avoid accidentally touching the switch and turning the plane into a bomb, the booster rocket is set to require pressing both sides at the same time to ignite.
The ignition command is given by the captain himself. Captain Lin took a deep breath and started counting down:
"Five, four, three, two, one. Light the fire!"
The huge push on his back crushed Shangluo directly to death on the seat. His mind went blank, and he even ignored the terrifying scream of the rocket.
The view from the mechanic's seat is excellent. Shangluo was lucky enough to sit in the first row of the roller coaster. The scenery on both sides quickly receded, and then suddenly turned into the color of sea water. The plane had already pulled up and reached the sea, but he was still pressed firmly on his seat. , there is no sense of weightlessness as the plane takes off.
"It's time to climb, grit your teeth!" Captain Lin took the time to turn around and shout, and started to yank the control stick without caring whether Shangluo could hear it.
The gas rudder and wing surface exerted force together, and the aircraft's nose suddenly lifted, changing from level flight to climbing attitude in more than a second.
Blood is carried away from the brain by inertia. Shangluo's eyesight turned black, he couldn't hear anything, and the whole world was moving away. But the anti-gravity suit tightly pressed his limbs and pushed back part of the blood, preventing him from completely "blacking out".
The black faded away and the vibrations and roar returned. Shangluo had no feeling at all in his buttocks because his whole body was pressed against the back of the seat. Pressure spread from all over the body, like being wrapped in a python and gradually tightening.
From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the pilots - they were still carrying out the operation without wearing any protective gear, their hands did not leave the joystick at all, and they even had the energy to carry on a conversation. It's just that the noise is too loud and Shangluo can't hear anything.
He noticed that the joystick was motionless in their hands, as if it were nailed there. The vibrations transmitted through the airfoil steel wires were firmly locked by the two men's arms. Apart from the vibrations of the rocket, the entire aircraft actually flew extremely smoothly, so that Shangluo did not even feel any effects other than the "push on the back" feeling.
When everything stabilized, the plane began to climb smoothly. Although the pushing feeling on his back still pressed him into the seat, he could at least breathe now.
Suddenly, without any warning, the pushing sensation on my back suddenly disappeared.
"Altitude 11,721 meters, reaching the reserved altitude." Captain Chen in the co-pilot's seat reported the data.
Arriving so soon? Before Shangluo even had time to adapt, the climb was over.
"Detach the booster." Captain Lin gave the order to the side.
"Understood." The co-pilot pulled the handle that separated the booster rockets on both sides - but he did not report back the reply "booster separation" for a long time.
Captain Lin looked over: "What's going on?"
"Stuck, no separation."
"Take out the manual and turn to page 42." Without saying anything, the two took every moment to start flipping through the book.
The divine words continue to start at high speed. It was still a ridiculously fast Hokkien dialect, and Shangluo couldn't understand a single word.
"Hey, what happened?" he asked Apollonia.
[Do you want me to interpret simultaneously for you? 】
"No, but why are they talking so fast? What happened?"
[This is their normal working speaking speed. They are professionally trained qigong pilots, the aces of the Sinian Air Force, and can fly aircraft that ordinary people cannot operate. For example, some advanced fighter jets use a statically unstable configuration, which requires manual trimming all the time. Ordinary people's energy and attention will be drained half an hour after takeoff, but Qi practitioners can do it, and even make it Give it to your own sense of energy. Do you still remember the exercises practiced by Wen Yuan? 】
"You mean the "Lei Lang Tian Jing"?"
[If I guess correctly, the training direction of "Lei Lang Tian Jing" is this kind of ace pilot. They will not be drained of energy by the airframe, but can in turn drain the performance of the airframe, so that they can make incredible maneuvers to dodge the line of fire in air combat; then find the perfect flight angle of attack and take advantage of every opportunity to fire. Must kill. A single sortie can annihilate an entire squadron of enemy aircraft, or even suppress the entire air power of a small country. 】
"Ah this..."
【Want to learn? Just call me Master... What are you doing? Don't get the hammer! I was wrong! In fact, it can’t be taught! But I can help you open it. Do you remember that card? And now this music box. I can exhaust the limits of their power, and I can even suppress those Qi practitioners. 】
"So you can also fly this plane?"
【certainly. So don't worry, they are now following the operating manual to troubleshoot. If it really can't be ruled out, then just let me do it. But that's when I have to, and I will be exposed. So you have to convince them to leave the cockpit first. So read it yourself, this 'action' cannot be performed by me. 】
"I can only touch the things at hand... Each system of this aircraft is its own system. How do I know which one to read and where to read it from. Can I still open the door, climb out and touch it again?"
[If that’s the case...just wait, it can actually be like this. Take me out and put me next to the dashboard. 】
Take the small ball out of the music box and bring it close to the mechanic panel next to it. A strand of gold thread extended from the small ball, spread out and penetrated into the interior of the dashboard.
[This move is called Xuansi pulse diagnosis. Sun Wukong will not deceive me. In this way, you can read information without intervening in the operation of the machine, because the person who performs the 'reading' action is you, not me. I am just a tool, and you can just read me. How is it? Have you read it? Doctor Shang. 】
