"Hmm...huh?" Shangluo frowned and thought for a while.
The plane had switched to level flight at this time, and the two captains in front were still flipping through the manual. According to the principle of eight to one objection, they will not act blindly and will first try to troubleshoot the fault according to the process.
"No, there's not enough time." Captain Lin raised his head, "We don't have time to complete the investigation later, we have to operate now. The speed and altitude dropped very quickly."
"The probability is about... 23%." Captain Chen calculated with his fingers, "According to the manual, the probability of rescue is only this high. Let's prepare for the landing. Let's go back first."
"Okay, standby." Captain Lin picked up the microphone and began to FM the airport radio. Suddenly, he noticed a shadow behind him.
Shangluo unfastened his seatbelt and came out, still looking around.
"Xiao Shang, don't worry, let's... Hey! What are you doing! Why are you holding a hammer!" Captain Lin was about to stand up to stop him, but Shangluo hit the ceiling with a hammer.
The fuselage suddenly felt light.
"Fuck! The booster has separated!" Captain Chen shouted, "Look, Old Lin! The lights are on!"
"Huh?" Captain Lin was stunned for a moment. He looked at the indicator light and then at Shangluo.
He opened the cab door and walked out. The wings were in the rear and couldn't be seen from the cockpit, so he had to go to the passenger cabin to see.
Ten seconds later, he came back, still looking like he had seen a ghost.
"What did you do? Why did you break away? The separation valve here hasn't been pressed yet."
"I tapped its Baihui point." Shangluo answered truthfully.
The cabin fell into silence. The two people stopped even operating and just looked at him.
...
"Professional!" Captain Lin suddenly took the lead in applauding, and the other one also followed suit. Both of them applauded him before the plane even started.
"Hey, I remembered it." Old Chen slapped his forehead, "He is that one, that Shangluo! Isn't he the one who brought the generator back to life with a hammer... What is that called? Qiqiao Exquisite Heart Right? Professional, very professional. We feel relieved when you are here."
"Are you hungry after doing this? Come on, we have in-flight meals. In fact, we also have flight attendants, but we don't have them on this flight. We have all the in-flight meals."
...
The small table fell down, and Shangluo's table was filled with food. Everything except carrots. Desserts such as jelly were given to him directly with the packaging boxes, and they were piled in front of him.
[Why do they always feel that they will be hungry after doing this? 】
"Maybe their Qigong practitioners are like this... I heard that after getting lucky, they will be very hungry. That's the case with Wen Yuan. He just ate a lot of things. But I have no luck at all. I am not hungry at all, and in this situation I I can’t eat anything.”
After jettisoning the booster, the aircraft has now entered normal operation.
But this “normal” state is not quite normal either. The four pulse detonation engines were operating at full power at an altitude of 12,000 meters, and the aircraft had already broken through the sound barrier. The sounds of the world have been left behind, but the engine is vibrating more violently than before.
The operating frequencies of the four engines are not only uneven, but also form a strange resonance. It shook him so much that his whole body was in a trance and his head hurt.
The two pilots didn't care at all. They didn't just give Shangluo hot meals just now, the main reason was because the climb just now also consumed a lot of their "Qi", and they had to replenish it.
While Captain Lin was holding the joystick, Captain Chen was eating with his dinner plate, but the severe vibration did not stop him from enjoying the food. He held the water glass in his right hand. The water in the water glass was stagnant, and the vibrations from the engine were resolved by his limbs.
He seemed to sense a strange gaze behind him. Captain Chen looked back at Shangluo:
"Shangluo, aren't you hungry?"
"A little~~~shaky~~~can't eat anymore~~~~" Shangluo's voice shook along with the shaking body.
"It's true. Then you can eat jelly. It's a good thing and can restore your strength as soon as possible. And the jelly has a straw, so it won't spill even if you shake it."
jelly. Shangluo opened the jelly packaging box and saw the jelly.
Those children's foods that said "jelly" on the package have now been shattered into finely divided and even semi-solidified pastes, and even separated into layers. It looks like it was just taken out of the centrifuge.
"Um..." Captain Chen looked at it for a while, then took out a small notebook to write down the situation at hand.
"The jelly has changed in appearance and is not suitable for carrying. So Shangluo, do you have any comments or suggestions about this flight?" After the rocket separated, the co-pilot's seat was much freer than before. Before Captain Lin asked him to take over, he could do some non-flight work, such as collecting the opinions of passengers.
...
"Item 15." Shangluo pointed to his back, "My spine is almost straightened by you... Can you make this chair more curved?"
"It makes sense, it makes sense. After becoming a Qi Practitioner, many of our ideas are different from before, so your opinions are very valuable." He nodded while taking notes. These precious interview records will be collected and returned to Nanyang together with the aircraft's operating conditions to prepare for the next generation of supersonic passenger aircraft that will truly open up passenger transport.
He is remembering. Suddenly, the sun shines from behind. Its daybreak.
Shangluo also looked out the window. The sun is on the horizon, but has yet to rise from the ground. A bit of golden light overflowed, illuminating the sea of clouds on the horizon and the entire skyline.
That's the dusk line.
"Well." Captain Chen closed the notebook, "Although you have so many opinions and suggestions, your visit this time is definitely not in vain. What you see now is the shining moment of human civilization. We are chasing the dawn and dusk line, Soon we will surpass it. The linear speed of the Earth's rotation at this latitude is 1,447 kilometers per hour, and we have already surpassed the Earth."
"Lanfang will show the world the height of human civilization." Captain Lin, looking forward, added:
"But we won't just stop here. Of course we know that this aircraft is actually dangerous. But as Qi practitioners, we will charge at the frontier of human civilization. We will show the height that humans can reach, in order to Inspire the whole world to move in a brighter direction. This is our responsibility and the teachings of Tao Ancestor. Human beings will eventually fly faster, higher, and even... stronger. Do you understand what I mean?"
【He is not targeting the target randomly. He seems to be trying to trick you, and he seems to have guessed that you really want to ask about the 'space suit'. 】
"Can we go up further? What to use?" Shangluo asked.
"Well...Actually, this is not a secret. The court knows it. But we are willing to tell you this because you have shown a talent that is enough for mankind to reach new heights. So, it doesn't hurt to tell you. But you can guess. .”
"I guess you want to build a rocket to launch into space?" Shangluo chose the correct answer as soon as he came up.
"Ha, boy, did you see this rocket machine and think we are going to take the rocket route? Then you are too pessimistic. This rocket machine is just scraps. We have conducted research on sounding rockets, but we found that To deliver a payload of tens of kilograms requires thousands of tons of rockets to launch. This is simply a waste of money. How can we use such inefficient and makeshift technology? Humanity should have a brighter future, how can we play like a salted fish with two kicks? Where are the feet! Lanfang’s sounding route has been a bigger, more perfect, and one-stop grand plan from the beginning!”
He looked back at Shangluo: "The headquarters of Lanfang, Pontianak City, is located exactly on the equator. Thanks to this unique geographical advantage, we plan to build a spaceport in Lanfang and build a real ladder to the sky! This ladder can Mass and personnel can be transported into space in a convenient way, thereby opening up new frontiers for human civilization, and even heading all the way to the moon and the more distant sea of stars!"
"Oh!!!" Shangluo understood, and he was a little excited, "Could it be that what you want to build is..."
"That's right! Lan Fang's plan is - the lunar cannon!!! We are going to build an unprecedented cannon and use this cannon to send Qigong astronauts to the moon! Ha, boy, look at you This expression must be frightened by our ambitious plan!"
