Chapter 1093: Countdown(1/2)
Chu Zihang was the first to notice the anomaly. He had been in contact with Lin Nian's 'Time Zero' field the most. The moment he felt the strange fluctuations in the field and the delay in the surrounding environment, he was able to judge
Something happened.
Xia Mi and Su Qian were still doing their own things. One was chatting with Chu Zihang about popular science tourist attractions, and the other was seriously preparing for the mission. Suddenly, they found that Chu Zihang stood up suddenly, with eyes like
It scraped around like a knife, and then they looked around and noticed something unusual.
"This is" Xia Mi's eyes widened, as if she had seen such a strange scene for the first time. Her eyes fell on the passenger on the left front seat who was taking medicine before getting off the plane. The pills that bounced up after being slapped on the wrist were almost silent.
Stuck in the air, the passenger's eyes also hovered on the pill, and his mouth remained open and motionless.
The water column poured into the water glass was frozen in time, the body movements and expressions raised by the passengers when talking were frozen, the mineral water bottles rolling down the slightly pouring aisle also stopped their momentum, everything was pressed
pause.
"Time zero." Susie and Lancelot in the back seat stood up almost at the same time. They experienced it briefly when they were operating in the airport terminal. When they experienced this situation again, they instantly realized what had happened.
After noticing that each other had been pardoned by 'Time Zero', several people immediately looked to Lin Nian's seat on the right, and suddenly found that both seats were empty. They immediately began to determine who else could be in the field.
freedom of movement.
In addition to Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, Susie and Lancelot who took action, Veleva Helsinki, who quickly ran from the front cabin to join everyone, was also included. Fenger was in the back row.
I was still sleeping soundly. Looking at his breathing rate compared with Xiawang who was leaning on him, I could tell that this guy was also one of the pardoned people.
"Lin Nian." Wei Lewa, who was still standing in the aisle, had the clearest view. She raised her hand and pointed to the aisle behind her. Several people immediately looked over and found that Lin Nian and Su Xiaoqiang were half-kneeling in the aisle and didn't know what they were looking down at.
.
Chu Zihang unbuckled his seat belt and without wasting time, immediately stepped onto the aisle and walked over. Before he could ask what was going on, Lin Nian, who was squatting in the aisle, had already got straight to the point; "Something happened, the structure of the aircraft was torn.
, an irreversible air crash will occur in ten seconds in real time.”
"What caused it? Do you have any clues?" Chu Zihang almost never imagined the possibility of Lin Nian's misjudgment. He moved closer to the position Lin Nian made way for him and squatted down.
Sure enough, he saw the cracks on the floor of the aisle at a glance. He followed the path of the cracks and looked towards the bulkhead. Sure enough, the white bulkhead was also crawling with dark cracks representing death and disaster.
"The reason is unknown, but it is definitely not because of the explosion." Su Xiaoqiang's expression was also a little ugly, "I am sure that all the bombs have been eliminated. There should not be another air disaster of this level."
This made Chu Zihang's heart sink. He gently stopped his fingers on the port on the right side of the crack for comparison. Under the influence of 'Time Zero', the crack was still persistently climbing forward and extending. According to this
The multiple ratio of speed to time zero. Under normal time flow rate, in less than ten seconds at most, cracks can penetrate the entire cabin of the aircraft in cross section.
"Ten minutes, this is the maximum time I can fight for. Except for Xia Mi's brother, my 'Time Zero' has pardoned nine of you. I can hold on for ten minutes at most." Lin Nian said.
'Time Zero' at full power consumes a lot of physical strength and mental energy. Lin Nian's physical strength is sufficient, but mental load is a serious problem. Dragging nine people into 'Time Zero' is basically nine times the consumption. Lin Nian can last for ten full years.
Minutes are already considered superhuman.
But this does not mean that ten minutes is Lin Nian's limit. Maybe he can delay it longer, but in the ten seconds of reality, ten minutes after time zero, when the plane really begins to disintegrate, no matter how hard he maintains 'time zero'
It was meaningless. Without their vehicle, they could only end up falling into the sky.
Chu Zihang was silent for ten seconds, and the people who gathered behind him were also silent for ten seconds. In these ten seconds, everyone started a brainstorm. 'Time Zero' opened for ten minutes, and every minute
Every second is prime time for firefighting and emergency rescue. They understand the meaning of Lin Nian spending nine times the mental and physical burden to forgive them in the spirit, so they will never waste the other party's time.
"Where are Lu Mingfei and Ling?" Lin Nian frowned slightly when he found that Lu Mingfei and Ling hadn't come over yet, "Go and call them over."
What happened over there? Zero is taking him, why is it so slow?
"I'll call them." Su Xiaoqiang stood up and walked quickly to the rear cabin.
—
Lu Mingfei, who was still sleeping soundly with his steam eye mask on, felt his face being pulled twice. Because he was sleeping too comfortably, he just raised his head and muttered: "Don't make trouble."
But the person who picked him up didn't seem to be unintentional, and even more aggressively patted his cheek. This made him a little tired, so he raised his hand and wiped it forward, "I told you not to make trouble."
Then he felt himself pushing against the back of the seat. It was soft and then the back of the seat hit him.
His face suddenly felt hot and painful, "Ouch."
"Lu Mingfei, you guys are over here." Su Xiaoqiang trotted over and saw Ling standing in the aisle with no expression, and Lu Mingfei, who was wearing an eye patch and had a slap mark on his face, and was struggling with his claws.
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Ling strangely.
Ling didn't reply, just shook his head to indicate it was nothing, and walked quickly to Lin Nian's side.
Su Xiaoqiang scratched his hair and felt a little strange, but he had no time to worry about it. He reached out and pulled off Lu Mingfei's blindfold, "Something happened. The plane may crash. Don't sleep."
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei, whose face felt inexplicably hot and painful, took off his blindfold and looked around in confusion. He looked at Su Xiaoqiang, who was slightly hurried. After taking three seconds to figure out the meaning of the other party's words, his face turned pale instantly, "
Are you kidding me?"
"I also hope I'm joking. Are you and Ling okay?" Su Xiaoqiang decided to ask one more question.
"What's wrong? Ouch?" Lu Mingfei felt his face still hurt, "Who slapped me just now, did you do it?"
Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes. Although he didn't know what happened, he was sure that Lu Mingfei, the silly boy, had unconsciously offended Ling again, but he probably wouldn't have offended him too severely.
After all, if Zero were to strike hard, this slap would be a Russian-style martial arts (KGB secret). A slap aimed at the auricle would make the person lose consciousness in half an hour, and even after waking up, he would think
I was just stunned for a moment and completely unaware of what was happening.
Lu Mingfei just had a small handprint on his face now, so it didn't seem to be a big problem, so Su Xiaoqiang just urged him and turned around and went back.
Lu Mingfei still didn't know how he got slapped, and this doubt would probably last his whole life.
When Lu Mingfei hurried to the front cabin with worries about the plane crashing, he saw Lin Nian and others gathered in the aisle meditating. His heart skipped a beat and he realized that the problem seemed to be a bit big.
"Lu Mingfei, what's going on with you?" Lin Nian turned to look at Lu Mingfei and saw the clear slap marks on his face. He subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang spread his hands to show that it was not his problem, so he shook his head, "
Forget it, let’s briefly talk about the situation. In ten minutes, the plane will start to split from the middle under our feet. We will lose half of the fuselage. At the same time, we will face pressure imbalance, airflow burst, and the fuselage, wings, and engines will further disintegrate.
Damage and fire hazard. Any ideas?”
"Ten minutes?!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat someone.
He looked at his watch subconsciously and found that the hands on the watch were trembling as if they were attracted by a magnet.
"Eight minutes and thirty seconds." Susie said, "I'm counting down in my mind."
"It's the same as the time I set. Let's check the time again at five minutes to avoid timing errors caused by nervousness," Lancelot said.
"So, do you have any ideas?" Lin Nian looked at Lu Mingfei.
Because Lin Nian specifically asked Lu Mingfei, everyone looked at Lu Mingfei in unison.
"Do I look like Conan or do I look like Doraemon?"
, both are ruthless characters who can solve the current predicament, but he is neither)?" Lu Mingfei wailed, "Skydiving? Is there a parachute on this plane? We have all trained in skydiving, and there should be enough parachute bags.
Question?"
"This is indeed a good idea. We can't save an entire plane. Lu Mingfei's cold-bloodedness is rational. We should indeed consider abandoning other people on the plane and find a parachute bag to parachute to save ourselves." Veleva calmly said
explain.
Lu Mingfei almost lost his breath. How could he turn into a "rational and cold-blooded" character in an instant? This is not in line with his personality! What a pity that he just made a reactive self-rescue speech after his desire to survive overtook everything else.
ok?
"Let me be clear first, is the disintegration of the aircraft irreversible?" Lancelot leaned over and looked at the crack that had extended under the seat and asked quickly, "Is it possible to stop this process?"
"It should be impossible. By the time we found out that we had delayed until now, the situation was irreversible. The cross-sectional structure of the aircraft was E-shaped. The aisle under our feet was a section in the middle. No one knew the cabin.
We have no way of knowing how far the cracks in the lower part have spread, and we can't stop it." Lin Nian pressed the floor of the aisle, "The aircraft is destined to disintegrate. The whole process happened too fast, and the reason is unknown, but it is a foregone conclusion."
"Who's going to simulate what's going to happen in ten minutes?" Fingal said.
"At the moment of disintegration, the structure of the aircraft will be broken by a huge force due to the pressure difference, and the airflow will be instantly involved in the cabin, causing suffocation and loss of pressure. We will first lose the entire rear half cabin, and all the passengers in the rear half cabin will be
No one is spared from this sudden situation. In that case, the outside atmospheric pressure will quickly enter the cabin. The rapid drop in air pressure will cause them to suffer from hypoxia, loss of consciousness, and frostbite. They will basically be unable to sing the spirit of words. "Chu.
Zihang said.
"Tell the time." Lin Nian said.
"Seven minutes and forty seconds." Lancelot and Susie said at the same time.
"Remind me at the last minute." Lin Nian set an alarm clock.
"Can the plane still land without the rear half of the fuselage?" Xia Mi took a deep breath to calm down and asked.
"There has never been such a precedent." Chu Zihang said bluntly, "In this case, the structure of the aircraft was seriously damaged and important balance and stability were lost. Even if the engine and wings were retained, the rear part of the aircraft
It also includes important control surfaces and tail fins. Losing them will cause the aircraft to lose its ability to control. Even if we are lucky to have the landing gear left, it will be difficult to maintain stable flight and land safely. In this case, the aircraft
The challenges faced by the captain are beyond imagination, and it requires extremely precise flying skills and emergency response capabilities to achieve a one-in-10,000 possibility."
"One in a million is not an exaggeration," Fingel whispered.
"But if we succeed, we can be the one in case." Lin Nian suddenly said.
"How about we look for a parachute?" Lu Mingfei's face twitched.
"There are no parachutes on civil aviation planes." Su Xiaoqiang pressed his forehead and said in a deep voice, "This is common sense. Even we have suffered a lot to learn skydiving skills. High air currents, cold temperatures, and aircraft speeds are all possible.
Skydivers’ lives depend on it. Passengers who have not undergone skydiving training are seeking death if they skydive. That’s why civil aviation is never equipped with parachutes.”
"No, there may be some on this plane." Lin Nian said, "Because there was an accident before boarding the plane, I specially asked people from the logistics department to bring some parachute bags when they took over the work of the crew members, and stored them in the cabin of the flight attendants.
There are not many parachute bags in the storage box in the compartment where the young lady is resting, but if we divide the parachute into a group of two or three, it should still be feasible."
