Chapter 1424 You Jump and I Jump
For aircraft, there is no decisive difference between dark and light, and as long as the navigation radar is functioning properly, they will have no problem flying.
But once the navigation radar has an accident, the difference between dark and dawn will be great.
In the pitch-black night sky at this time, there was heavy rain and strong winds. Only the occasional branch-like lightning that lit up to tear the night sky, allowing them to see the dark clouds in front of them, and the rain and waterfalls like curtains.
Huo Shaoheng pushed open the door of the cockpit and walked in, "What happened?"
His voice was calm and calm, and his demeanor was unhurried, which quickly calmed everyone's restless emotions.
"Hi sir."
"Chief, the thunder seems to have affected the radar, and we can't get in touch with the ground." The captain who was flying the plane turned pale.
They were flying a special military plane. The plane was not big, and there were not many people on board. There were only the captain and co-pilot, a female flight attendant, four orderlies, and Huo Shaoheng, the deputy secretary-general of the Supreme Military Committee.
Everyone else is fine, except Huo Shaoheng, who is the chief of major general level.
If something happened to him on their plane, they would die!
While talking, there was another thunder explosion outside the cabin.
boom!
This time the thunder resounded through the sky and directly hit the fuselage.
The plane's fuselage vibrated endlessly, and a piece of it had collapsed.
The pointer on the radar instrument panel was like a circle, spinning rapidly.
North, south, east and west are indistinguishable.
Almost out of control.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the dashboard, then at the thunderstorm outside, and said calmly, "I'll do it."
He was, and is, the best fighter pilot ever.
The co-pilot hurriedly got up, took off his earphones and oxygen mask and gave them to Huo Shaoheng.
The captain took the co-pilot's position and gave up his position to Huo Shaoheng, who acted as the co-pilot for Huo Shaoheng.
...
At this time, the aircraft navigation building on the ground was already in chaos.
"Where did the chief's plane go?! Did you get in touch?!"
"Eighteen ground navigation buildings along the way have been called, and even the military navigation has been notified, but...the chief's plane has not been found!"
The navigators in the navigation building were all sweating and anxious.
"This thunderstorm weather! I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
"What did the meteorological station do! Such a large and severe thunderstorm is not accurately forecast!"
Civil aviation airliners generally avoid thunderstorms and will not take off if it is not a last resort.
Military aircraft are a bit stronger. They have been specially trained for thunderstorm weather, and the anti-thunder performance of military aircraft is much stronger than that of civilian aircraft. Generally, it is fine to fly in thunderstorm weather.
Only this time things are a little different.
The severe thunderstorm this time did not have any warning in advance, and even the meteorological station did not issue any warning information. It was a sudden thunderstorm.
They tried hard for half an hour, but they still couldn't contact Huo Shaoheng's private plane.
I had no choice but to report up layer by layer.
From the duty team leader of the navigation building to the airport leader, then to the operator of the military headquarters, the company commander, the regimental commander, and the division commander, and finally reported to Admiral Ji.
Admiral Ji was still asleep at this time, and was reading documents in his study.
After receiving the call, he stood up abruptly, "What?! Shao Heng's special plane lost contact in a severe thunderstorm?!——I warn you, get in touch with me quickly! What does the weather station do?!"
Under the strong intervention of Admiral Ji, the staff on duty at the meteorological station woke up the experts and nervously monitored the weather conditions.
The monitoring situation is suffocating.
"Reporting to the chief, the severe thunderstorm this time was very sudden, without any warning." The experts at the meteorological station looked at the data in front of them, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
While wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he said tremblingly: "... Judging from the intensity, this is not an ordinary thunderstorm, but... a hurricane that usually forms on the ocean!"
Tropical cyclones that form over the ocean,
According to the different intensity, according to the wind speed, it is generally divided into three categories.
The wind force is 8 to 9, and it is called a tropical storm.
With a wind force of 10 to 11, it is called a severe tropical storm.
A wind force of 12 or higher is a hurricane.
Tropical cyclones only spawn over oceans and bring a lot of precipitation.
Therefore, when a hurricane arrives, it will be accompanied by severe thunderstorms.
This kind of climate phenomenon is commonplace for maritime countries.
But this is the inland of the Huaxia Empire, and Huo Shaoheng's special plane just flew north, and it was the inland of the inland all the way, not the ocean.
Admiral Ji immediately reacted, and roared: "A hurricane on the ocean?! You mean, a hurricane on the ocean suddenly formed in the inland air?! What about other planes?! Where's the civil aviation plane?! Did something happen? !"
The leader in the navigation building was also sweating, and hurriedly said: "Several civil aviation airliners were indeed affected, but they all made an emergency landing due to the storm. At present, only...only...Major General Huo's special plane is affected. ..."
Moreover, the radars of the other affected civil aviation airliners had no problems, and they returned as soon as they discovered the storm.
Only Huo Shaoheng's special plane not only failed to return, but also lost contact with the ground in an instant.
They were not given any time to react.
Admiral Ji heard that the civil aviation plane was fine, and felt a little better, but when he heard that Huo Shaoheng's special plane lost contact with the ground almost instantly, his heart immediately raised his throat, "What about Major General Huo's special plane?! Don't you Tell me, civilian airliners can return, but their military planes cannot!"
If that's the case, it's fine to use a farting military plane to send the enemy's head directly.
The leader of the navigation building had no choice but to say: "Chief, it's not that military planes can't, but... but... we suspect that their radar just happened to be struck by lightning and failed."
Radar failure is not a fatal injury to an aircraft, but if it is still night in this hurricane weather, it is no different from fatal injury.
"Damn it! How could it be such a coincidence?! Are you sure this is a natural weather phenomenon?!" Admiral Ji was rude, "What use are you for?!"
He hung up the phone with a snap, and said to Secretary Cao, who was standing behind him with an uneasy expression, with a cold face, "Get me the Meteorological Team."
The weather forecast of the Meteorological Force is not at the same level as that of civilian weather stations.
They have the best equipment, top talents, and the key is that their mission is not just weather forecasting.
"Hi sir, what are your orders?"
The leader of the Meteorological Force was woken up from his bed in the middle of the night, rushed to the duty room, and talked with Admiral Ji on the phone.
"The strong thunderstorm here tonight is a hurricane. Did you predict it?"
Quickly collect the data here and put it in front of the big leader of the meteorological force.
The leader of the meteorological force took a quick look and said to Admiral Ji: "There is no evidence that it is another country's weather war against our country. But this weather is indeed very strange. But because the intensity is too great, it is ruled out that it is man-made." possible."
As far as he knows, no country in the world has mastered such hurricane technology.
If a hurricane of this intensity can be produced, then conventional combat preparations are required. Just a hurricane can wipe out all the opponent's strategic facilities.
In other words, countries that can create hurricanes of this intensity are no longer at the same technical level as other countries.
Just like the primitive cold weapon era, someone suddenly mastered gunpowder technology and made guns and artillery.
A country with a big knife and a red-tasseled gun becomes a fish on the other side's chopping board, and can only let the mermaid go.
Admiral Ji listened to the report of the leader of the Meteorological Force for a long time, ruled out the possibility of human intervention, but his heart sank suddenly.
"Okay, you continue to monitor and report immediately if there is any situation."
After hanging up the phone, Admiral Ji sank into the armchair.
If it is a weather war launched by other countries, it is okay, at least they have a direction to work hard to rescue.
Whether it is negotiation or targeted counterattack, it can work.
But if it is the power of nature, they can do nothing but resign themselves to fate.
...
As time passed by, Huo Shaoheng sat on the pilot's seat and stared ahead.
When there was no lightning, there was thick darkness in front of the plane, and the waterfall-like rain hit the fuselage. The small military plane was like a small boat in the ocean, passing through the clouds, thunder, lightning and heavy rain.
The people around him are all soldiers, not timid people who are afraid of death, but they still turn pale with fright in front of the power of nature.
"What should I do? Chief, I can't fly out..."
"I can't even recognize the direction... What should I do? If there are other planes flying over..."
The violent vibration of the plane is even more dizzying than riding a roller coaster.
Huo Shaoheng didn't say a word, looked at the weather, held the rudder in his hand, but suddenly remembered the time when Gu Nianzhi was in distress in the Caribbean Sea when she was 18 years old.
It was the same hurricane, the same thunder and lightning, the same squall, the same torrential rain.
But here, how can there be the same hurricane as in the Caribbean? !
But thinking of the hurricane, Huo Shaoheng's eyes lit up.
How did he forget?
That time, he flew a fighter jet directly through the eye of the storm, fought against pirates, and saved Gu Nianzhi.
This time, as long as they fly into the eye of the storm, they will be safe for the time being!
Huo Shaoheng had an idea, gripped the rudder tightly, and said in a flat voice: "Go back and sit down, fasten your seat belts, and I promise to take you to the ground safely."
The people on the plane looked at each other, but even if they didn't believe Huo Shaoheng's words, they couldn't jump out to refute him at this moment.
Besides, he is the chief, and they can only obey his orders.
"Yes, Chief."
Except for the captain who was sitting in the co-pilot position, everyone else returned to their seats and fastened their seat belts.
Just as everyone sat down, there was a loud bang, and another thunderbolt hit the fuselage.
The captain turned pale and said, "Chief, if this continues, even if we can escape the storm, we will not be able to escape the explosion of the plane itself..."
Now he is glad that the previous lightning just damaged the radar.
If the first lightning strike had hit the fuel tank, they would have all died in their line of duty.
Huo Shaoheng said "Yes", "I know, I will turn off the engines on both sides. You follow my order, open the fuel tank door, and empty all the oil. In this way, you don't have to worry about the explosion of the fuel tank caused by lightning."
"Ah?!" The captain raised his head suddenly, and looked at Huo Shaoheng with a look like a lunatic, "Turn off the engines on both sides?! Empty all the oil?! Then how can the plane fly?!"
It is not uncommon for the plane to have two engines fail at the same time and make a gliding landing, but it is not at such a high altitude or in such weather!
At this altitude, in this weather, the plane lost its power, and the plane had only one way to crash!
Huo Shaoheng didn't have the patience for this person with Gu Nianzhi, he didn't explain, he pushed hard on the rudder, rushed forward, and rushed directly into the "eye of the storm" of the hurricane.
There was a violent turbulence, tremor, and dizziness, as if entering the void, surrounded by clouds and mist, but the torrential rain suddenly disappeared.
After a while, the plane calmed down, and they really entered the eye of the storm, which is the most peaceful place in the entire hurricane.
Huo Shaoheng followed with a low growl: "Refuel!"
The captain shivered in fright, "Really want to release it?!"
"Release the oil!" Huo Shaoheng gritted his teeth and said the second time, "If you don't let it go, you will be shot!"
Seeing that letting go would mean death, and not letting go would mean death, the captain simply closed his eyes and opened the fuel tank door according to Huo Shaoheng's instructions. Tons of engine oil began to scatter in the air and fell from the fuselage.
The weight of the plane soon began to decrease, and in the center of the eye of the storm, it began to float.
Huo Shaoheng stared closely at the instrument panel, while mentally calculating the proportional relationship between the wind speed and the weight of the aircraft, while turning off the engines on both sides, he controlled the aircraft entirely by feeling, looking for the direction of the wind in the eye of the storm, and gliding downward.
The radar on the plane has failed, and the steering wheel is also disturbed by a strong magnetic field, but no matter what, the direction of the cyclone will not change.
As long as it is within the range of the blue star, the gravitational magnetic field will guide the direction of the wind.
Just follow the direction of the cyclone's descent to know where the land is.
Relying on his excellent understanding and experience of the influence of airflow and gravity, Huo Shaoheng firmly steered the rudder to guide the direction of the plane's rapid descent.
He used all his strength to stabilize the plane, the muscles on his arms were knotted, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
10,000 meters, 8,000 meters, 5,000 meters, 3,000 meters, 2,000 meters. Gradually, the influence of the storm is not so great, and the situation on land can be seen clearly.
I don't know if the ground has already known that they are in danger. Although the rain is pouring, the land below them is brightly lit. Even in places where there is no human habitation, the armament signal lights are lit.
Row by row, row by row, like pearls sprinkled on the earth, guiding the direction of landing.
There was a burst of cheers on the plane.
"We are saved!"
Huo Shaoheng informed the people on the plane at this time, "Put on the parachute and prepare to skydive."
The captain was surprised and happy, but also a little bit sad, he said: "Boss, you jump first, I will take over the plane."
This time such a major incident happened, and the people on the plane can still have hope of survival, he is already content
As long as the chief and the others successfully parachute, he will die without regret.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him and said, "You take them to dance first, and I'll be fine."
"Chief! You can't do this!" The captain was in a hurry, and almost rushed to grab the rudder from Huo Shaoheng's hand, "I'll be the queen! If you jump, I will jump!"
