Chapter 686 The More I Listen, the More Scared I Get
Uncle Feng, Jiang's father's driver, also arrived at the airport in advance to pick up the plane. When he heard that the flight was delayed, he came over to ask about the situation and happened to hear the explanation of the airport staff.
He greeted Zhou Chengsen and then asked the airport staff: "What are the consequences of the bleed air system failure? It won't affect the safe landing of the plane, right? Nothing will happen, right?"
The staff patiently explained: "I'm sorry, we don't know the specific situation, but our crew is already checking and handling it. Please wait patiently for flight news."
Uncle Feng knew that he wouldn't get any information from them, so he went to ask their leader to see if he could get some more useful information.
Zhou Chengsen took his two children and followed.
The final answer was that the crew on the plane are still checking and handling the matter.
But they also learned some bad news. The nearest alternate airport was affected by the cold wave and had strong side winds and low broken clouds. In short, it was not suitable for landing.
This means that the faulty plane had no other airport to choose except to fly back and land.
The more I asked, the more scared I became! Uncle Feng: "Can we survive and fly back if the air intake system fails?"
The other party: "The captain and the crew have determined that it is possible. They will definitely choose the safest landing plan."
Sometimes there is no choice! Zhou Chengsen: "What are the consequences of a malfunction in the air intake system?"
He is not Zhou Chenglei. He knows nothing about airplanes except that they have a pair of wings that allow them to fly into the sky.
The other party gave a brief explanation.
The bleed air system has many uses on an aircraft, one of which is to provide heating to the cabin.
The air at high altitudes is very cold and the air pressure is very thin. The cold air at high altitudes must be heated and pressurized by the aircraft's engine before it can be sent into the cabin. This process is called "bleeding air."
If the bleed air system fails and cannot provide heating to the cabin, it will affect the cabin temperature and air pressure, and passengers may feel very cold or even uncomfortable.
Of course, compared with safety, this impact is relatively small.
The bleed air system also provides air source for several important systems of the aircraft, such as air conditioning boost, wing anti-icing, water tank boost, hydraulic oil tank boost, etc.
Therefore, if the bleed air system fails, these systems may also malfunction, thus affecting the overall performance and safety of the aircraft.
This is the most terrifying and unpredictable thing.
The more I listened, the more scared I became! Zhou Ying and Zhou Zhou also felt the solemn atmosphere of the adults, and for a moment they lost their excitement and sat there obediently without disturbing the adults' conversation.
The other party spent three or two minutes explaining everything to them and then left.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Zhou Chengsen felt that these ten minutes were particularly long, and then he heard the sound of ambulances again and again.
Uncle Feng ran to ask about the situation again, and the news he got was that the alternate airport was temporarily unsuitable for landing due to strong side winds, so the plane flew straight back, and at the same time, a passenger on board was unwell.
Zhou Chengsen looked out and saw a sea of red and blue lights. The rapid honking of horns made him even more nervous.
Time passed second by second. Zhou Chengsen was looking at the direction of the runway in the lounge and felt that every second seemed like a year.
Their waiting room has a view of the runway.
Zhou Zhou and Zhou Ying fell asleep unknowingly in the quiet environment.
Zhou Chengsen asked the staff to get a blanket to cover them.
Uncle Feng couldn't even sit still. He stood up and looked out the window from time to time: "Should I call my wife to tell her?"
He wanted to call back to report the situation to Jiang's mother, but he was afraid of scaring her.
If I don't call to tell them, I'm worried that something might happen.
It's really a dilemma.
Zhou Chengsen: "Wait a little longer. If there is still no definite news by 10 o'clock, then call back. It's no use calling back now."
Zhou Chengsen didn't think about calling Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia now to tell them, which would only increase their worries. Even if they knew now, they wouldn't be able to help.
Tell them when the situation is clear.
"OK."
After Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei from Beijing coaxed their three children to sleep, the couple went about their own business in the study.
Jiang Xia was making courseware, and Zhou Chenglei was studying a book about transformers.
The electromagnetic factory that Zhou Chenglei had previously partnered with Zhang Rong and others mainly produced transformers. Recently, he has been studying transformers, reading books and looking through materials at night; when he is free during the day, he goes to the factory to study with the people in the R&D department.
Jiang Xia didn't understand all this. Looking at his serious expression, she felt a little uneasy tonight.
The night went on and on, and I became more and more uneasy.
Just put down the pen.
It is better not to do inefficient work.
Zhou Chenglei noticed her movement and looked up at her: "What's wrong?"
"I can't concentrate." Jiang Xia glanced at the watch on the table: "My dad's plane should have landed, right?"
Zhou Chenglei looked at his watch and saw it was 8:40. "Well, it should have landed, but it will take some time to get off the plane. I've asked my second brother to call us after he picks up dad."
Jiang Xia: "I'll go outside and wait for the call."
Zhou Chenglei put down the book and went out to get bird's nest for Jiang Xia.
Coincidentally, the bird’s nest is ready.
After eating the bird’s nest and receiving a phone call, I just went to bed.
Jiang Xia sat next to the phone, eating bird's nest and drinking milk while waiting for a call.
She didn't have much of an appetite, but she thought it was good for the baby because she could pass the food through her breast milk after eating, so she finished it in just a few bites.
Zhou Chenglei took the empty bowl and washed it.
At this time, the courtyard door rang and Jiang Dong also came over.
He was also a little uneasy so he came here.
"Dad hasn't called yet?"
Zhou Chenglei comforted the two: "Wait a little longer, I guess he will call after he gets home."
The three people here were anxiously waiting for the call. At the airport, Zhou Chengsen and the other man kept looking at the time on their watches.
Eight fifty-two!
Finally, I could faintly hear the rumbling sound of a flying plane.
Uncle Feng ran to the window and asked, "Did you hear the plane?"
Zhou Chengsen also walked to the window: "I heard it."
They stood at the window together and looked at the night sky.
The few people in the hall who came to pick up the plane couldn't help but look around for a place to watch the plane land.
But there is still nothing to see.
Soon a faint light was seen.
Gradually, the faint light became less faint.
The roar of the plane gradually became louder.
"Is it their flight?" Uncle Feng pressed his face against the cold glass.
"It should be!" Zhou Chengsen stared at the light spot in the night sky, there was a red light flickering.
The light was getting closer, lower, brighter, and the sound was getting louder.
You can even vaguely see the outline of an airplane.
Just when their hearts were in their throats, the plane began to land!
The fuselage landed steadily on the runway! The medical staff moved!
The plane stopped!
Zhou Chengsen finally felt relieved after worrying for the whole night! Medical staff were already waiting outside the cabin door.
Uncle Feng: "I'll go to the exit to pick them up!"
Having said this, he hurried out.
Zhou Chengsen also woke up the two children. He did not rush to the exit. He could still see the passengers getting off the plane from here, but he could not see them at the exit.
Although it was too dark to see clearly, it was better than not seeing at all.
