Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 240 Xu Cang's Successor! (Please subscribe!)
"Wrong? Are you saying that there is a problem with the flight program?" Xu Cang couldn't believe his ears. It was a 4000 million program. The design institute can make problems. Is this something that professionals can do?

Lu Jinghua didn't seem to understand the details, but he just said roughly: "During the trial operation, at the turning point where the four sides cut into the five sides, the aircraft will always trigger terrain warnings, but the operating crew is flying in full accordance with the altitude restrictions in the program. Yes, it's the same after trying several times."

"Terrain warnings are always triggered? Hey, have you consulted the design institute?"

If you fly according to the procedures, but keep triggering terrain warnings, how can the plane fly?This is a completely useless program.

Lu Jinghua shook his head: "After the follow-up crew comes back and understands the relevant details, we plan to summarize and contact the design institute."

The flight crew for the trial run at Jinghong Airport was provided by Spring Airlines. After all, Jinghong Airport will basically be the private land of Spring Airlines after it is put into operation.

Hearing what Lu Jinghua said, Xu Cang also felt that what he said was reasonable.After all, it is just a glimpse of the leopard now, not the whole picture. Instead of giving multiple feedbacks, it is better to report it once after summarizing, so as not to confuse the design institute.

"Then wait for the crew to come back first."

Lu Jinghua hesitated for a while: "To be honest, this matter is a bit weird. After the design institute completes the program, it will go through theoretical demonstration and simulation verification. Will such a serious problem not be found?"

To be reasonable, if terrain warnings are continuously triggered in the program, the program will definitely fail.Such low-level mistakes should not have occurred in the National Design Institute.

"Are there any flaws in the crew's operation? For example, configuration, descent rate?" Xu Cang asked.

Sometimes, there is no problem in the program in theory, but some occasional warnings will appear due to the logic judgment of the aircraft's terrain warning.

"I said it happened all the time. That's right, the instantaneous descent rate is high, and there is still a risk of triggering a terrain warning even when the altitude is higher than the restricted altitude. However, the crew tried three times, and the last time it flew directly past the point. In addition The configuration problem you mentioned, the crew established the configuration in advance during the second time, and it will be the landing configuration after a certain point. Moreover, what you are talking about is the landing gear configuration warning, not the terrain warning."

"Hahaha, I'm talking nonsense." Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassedly.

Obviously, the test run crew was also a little confused, so that in the end there was a deliberate level flight operation.But even if this is the case, there is still a terrain warning, so it is not a problem of the descent rate.

"That's a problem with topographical surveying, did you measure the surrounding topographical data wrong?" Liu Minxue interrupted suddenly.

Lu Jinghua expressed disbelief: "Ah? Could such a stupid mistake happen? Not so much."

If there is a problem with the topographical mapping data, then the flight procedures based on this data will naturally be wrong.But this kind of surveying and mapping problem is too abstract, right?It's rare for the design institute to make a mistake in the program, but it's not unheard of for Lu Jinghua.However, it is unheard of for Lu Jinghua to make a wrong measurement.

"Regardless of the reason, the situation has been reported to the higher authorities. Let's see what the design institute says." Xu Cang still believes in the trial operation of the unit, after all, it is a program verification that is not difficult at all, and listening to Lu Jinghua, he tried a lot back and forth. Second, the possibility of the unit's own problems is unlikely.

Although I don't quite understand the flaws in the design of the program, Xu Cang definitely can't accept such a program that keeps triggering terrain warnings, and always needs the design institute to give an explanation.

Faced with such an obvious problem, the Design Institute cannot turn a blind eye to it.Therefore, Xu Cang's mentality is actually not bad.

Just as Xu Cang finished speaking, another head popped out of the door, it was Ji Dong who just came to play yesterday.It can only be said that the rich second generation is comfortable and can do whatever they want, very chic.

After meeting Xu Cang, how could Ji Dong still think about staying in the surveying and mapping team of the Design Institute?I filed a resignation report with my superiors, regained my freedom, and ran to Erhai Lake twice in three days, and almost regarded this place as my second home.

"Brother Xu, you agreed to explain the taxiing procedure to me today."

Although Xu Cang did not agree to take Ji Dong with him, but Ji Dong had a strong thirst for knowledge, so he settled for the next best thing. Xu Cang would give Ji Dong lectures on theoretical knowledge from time to time, which could be regarded as quenching Ji Dong's thirst.

"I'll tell you later." Xu Cang waved to Ji Dong: "Come in, I have something to ask you."

Ji Dong entered the room suspiciously, looked at Lu Jinghua, and then asked, "What's the matter, Brother Xu?"

"Didn't you work in the surveying and mapping team of the Design Institute before? Tell me, is it possible for the surveying and mapping team to measure the wrong terrain data?"

Regarding Xu Cang's question, Ji Dong waved his hand: "Oh, brother Xu! What you said is simply impossible. The terrain data of our surveying and mapping team is the most basic. Once this data is wrong, everything will be followed by mistakes. So , the surveying and mapping team will generally have three groups, each group will survey and map independently, and finally compare with each other. If the tripartite data deviates beyond the error standard, then call back and start again until the tripartite data are consistent. During the surveying and mapping process, the three groups There will not be any communication to prevent mutual influence. Moreover, as you know, topographic data in most parts of China are archived in the Geological Bureau. Finally, before submitting the data, we will contact the Geological Bureau and do it again. The final comparison. Generally speaking, the gap between the two will not be very large."

Xu Cang can basically understand Ji Dong's words.It is normal for the three parties to confirm each other, but Xu Cang was surprised by comparing the original data of the Geological Bureau.

However, given that geological movements are measured in tens of millions of years, under normal circumstances, there will be no major changes in topographic data.If the final data of the surveying and mapping team matches the data of the Geological Bureau, then there is basically no problem with the data.

If the gap between the two is huge, then you have to consider where the problem is.

"It means that there will be no problems with the terrain data?" Lu Jinghua also heard the smell: "Then what do you mean, the design institute really fell into the ditch?"

"No..." Xu Cang had just reached the point of his mouth when his cell phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, he saw that it was a foreign number.With a thought, Xu Cang probably guessed who it was, so he got connected.

Sure enough, Song Xinyang's voice came from the opposite side: "Xu Cang, is it convenient to talk?"

Xu Cang didn't deliberately find a corner, and said directly: "What's the matter, let's talk."

"The commissioning of the Trent 1000 prototype is nearing completion. If it is convenient, you can come to Derby. We need to sign a formal agreement on employment matters."

"You can send someone over, is it necessary for me to go?"

However, Song Xinyang's words were very solemn: "Xu Cang, whether it is technology transfer or the replacement of distribution rights involved in this agreement, it is a big deal. You will sign a contract with our CEO, but recently our CEO has important things to do. I can't spare time to go to your side, please understand."

But in terms of the weight of these agreements between Xu Cang and Luo Luo, they definitely surpassed the previous 777 test flight employment agreement between Xu Cang and Boeing.

Before Xu Cang signed the agreement with Boeing, it was Li Rongcheng who acted on his behalf, but Luo Luo obviously couldn't do it this time, and the CEO had to come forward.

Xu Cang thought for a while: "Yes, when should I go?"

"Just these two days." Song Xinyang said: "We will prepare air tickets for you. However, for these two days, only Kingfisher Airlines still has tickets, and other better airlines are sold out. There is no first class, only business class, don't you mind?"

Kingfisher Airlines is a low-cost airline in the United Kingdom, and the in-flight service is definitely not as good as those of the big airlines.It stands to reason that with such an important agreement, Luo Luo must get a first-class cabin.But the CEO of Luoluo is just able to spare time these two days, and he will go abroad for business later on. The time really cannot be adjusted. It depends on whether Xu Cang can feel wronged.

"Business class is business class." Xu Cang didn't care about this aspect, so he agreed casually.

Hearing that Xu Cang didn't mind, Song Xinyang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If he meets someone who cares about it, it will be really difficult to handle.

"Xu Cang, just feel wronged on the plane. After landing, we will have someone to pick you up. The place to stay has also been arranged. It is definitely a top hotel. It just so happens that you also take this opportunity to see the scenery of Britain and taste the local scenery. Food."

It can be seen that Luo Luo is quite concerned about Xu Cang's arrival, and the air ticket should be regarded as an accident.But when Xu Cang heard the last word, he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

We all know that the four thinnest books in the world are British Cookbooks, American History, German Jokes and Italian War Heroes.For Britain, which can be called a food desert, how confident is Song Xinyang that he wants Xu Cang to taste British food?
What food?Fish and chips?
"Okay, I would like to see your local food."

Song Xinyang didn't hear the ridicule in Xu Cang's words, so he happily agreed, saying that he would settle the ticket issue as soon as possible, and at the same time send a business invitation letter to Spring and Summer Airlines, so that Xu Cang could be more Smoothly get the visa thing done.

However, before the Jakarta volcanic ash incident, Xu Cang had already obtained a British visa once.Generally speaking, if there are no major problems, a second visa is easy. Of course, with Luo Luo's official invitation letter, maybe Xu Cang can get a longer visa.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Cang's mouth still had a slight curve, which made Lu Jinghua very puzzled: "Who is it so fun to make a phone call?"

Xu Cang put the mobile phone back into his pocket: "I have something to go to England, and the people there said they want to show me the local food."

Apparently Lu Jinghua doesn't quite understand the subject of British food, but Liu Minxue is well versed in it.

"To be honest, British food is actually not bad, and the ingredients are not bad, but most people don't know how to cook, and they still eat like Germany is bombing them."

Xu Cang patted his forehead, what kind of hell joke is this?Unexpectedly, Liu Minxue, who seemed to be a gentle man, would be so fierce when he joked.

"I have been to England for a period of time before, and I still have some understanding. In traditional British recipes, such as sweet and sour fried cod, marinated chicken with orange sauce, and mackerel with fennel and mint are still acceptable, but I didn't expect it to be like this now ,Ugh."

Liu Minxue thinks that food culture is a part of traditional culture, but now many traditions have been overwhelmed by industrialization, which is really a pity.

Xu Cang hadn't been this happy for a long time, and Xu Cang still became a little interested in Song Xinyang's inexplicable confidence in his country's food culture.To be fair, Luo Luo is considered top-tier capital, so he wouldn't treat him to French fries if he wanted to.Hearing Liu Minxue talk about such traditional British food, Xu Cang became a little interested. Maybe he can really take this opportunity to go to England to relax.

"I will talk about the procedures of Jinghong Airport later. After the situation is verified, I will summarize and report it to the design institute and let them come up with a plan." Xu Cang is not a god, and it is impossible for him to take care of everything. Seeking a solution from the source, Xu Cang didn't plan to care about it.

Xu Cang looked at Ji Dong: "If the program is wrong, will the design institute be responsible for changing it?"

"That's for sure. There are after-sales services for buying things. Not to mention this tens of millions of things. Brother Xu, did you ask the design institute to make programs? Something went wrong?"

"Well, the terrain warning keeps going off for no reason."

"That's a problem with the Design Institute." Ji Dong smiled and said, "Just give your feedback, and the Design Institute will be responsible for the changes. Alright, alright, let's talk about the taxiing procedure."

Being urged by Ji Dong, Xu Cang couldn't delay any longer, and explained to Liu Minxue: "Director Liu, I'm thinking about the flight academy."

Liu Minxue nodded: "It's okay, I'll think of a way here, I understand your concerns."

"Then trouble Director Liu." Xu Cang really didn't want to lose his master Chen Xiangdong's relationship unless it was a last resort.

"Let's go!" Xu Cang pushed Ji Dong's shoulder, indicating that he could go.

However, just as Xu Cang went out, he heard a noise coming from the big office of the recruitment office next door.Maybe Liu Minxue heard it too, and followed him out.

At this time, a man and a woman came out of the big office of the Recruitment Office. The man was in his 30s, and the woman was a staff member of the Recruitment Office. They seemed to be trying their best to explain something to the man.

So far, the man and the woman seem to be communicating normally, but the man seems to be getting more and more impatient, and there is no guarantee that something will happen later.

"Xiao Wang, what's the matter?" Liu Minxue, as the director of the recruiting office, naturally wanted to mediate.

Seeing the leader coming, the female staff member hurriedly explained: "Director, this person was found after reading our social recruitment advertisement. But our social recruitment has ended!"

"I know, this is my problem. I really can't ask for leave, so I came here specially. I don't know if I can give me another chance. I am doing field affairs, so I can be regarded as half of my colleagues. Do you have work experience?" The man begged with some weeping.

While the man was talking, he suddenly noticed Xu Cang who was beside Liu Minxue, and immediately regained his energy, pointing at Xu Cang: "The crew of 1566?"

"Huh? 1566?" Xu Cang was taken aback: "You mean the machine number 1566?"

"Yeah, yeah, when I flew upside down, I was down there at the time, and we found out that there were parts falling off the road surface." The man said hastily.

Having said that, Xu Cang remembered it. 1566 failed to touch down for the first time and hit the runway all of a sudden.At that time, the tail of the plane was damaged, and some small parts fell directly onto the road surface. Before the second landing, the control tower wanted Xu Cang to report this incident, so that Xu Cang finally landed on the main taxiway. .

Xu Cang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we are old acquaintances."

Seeing Xu Cang talking to him, the man was very excited: "I really like flying, but I didn't learn it for some reasons before. This time I see your company recruiting pilots. I really want to seize this opportunity."

"This gentleman, what is your name, and what is your age?" Liu Minxue asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Liu Minxue's question, the man quickly replied: "My name is Xu Mingjian, I am 32 years old, and I have been working at Jianchuan Airport before."

"32 years old." Liu Minxue showed a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Xu, this age is a bit too old."

But from which point of view, 32 years old is definitely an old age.Some pilots who entered the country relatively quickly are already captains at the age of 32.If Xu Mingjian is allowed to come in, even if he starts training immediately, including the one-year to one-and-a-half year training in the aviation school and half a year of certificate renewal, he will be almost 34 when he actually joined the company, which is really outrageous.

"I know my age is a big disadvantage, but I really like flying, give me a chance, I will definitely work hard."

In fact, Xu Mingjian has already given up his dream of flying.However, when he saw the miracle of Xu Cang flying upside-down 737 with his own eyes, the extinguished flame in his heart was rekindled.

If he wants to practice his dream again, he must be in Chunxia Airlines, because Xu Cang is here.

Liu Minxue shook his head: "Mr. Xu, if you have really paid attention to our social recruitment, you should know that we have strict age requirements. This is not the case, sorry."

In terms of age, Liu Minxue attaches great importance to it, and the age of 32 is indeed unacceptable.

However, at this moment, Xu Cang interjected: "Mr. Xu, I wonder if you are married and have children? But Weiyang?"

"Huh?" Liu Minxue turned to look at Xu Cang in great perplexity: "Xu Cang, what are you doing?"

Apparently Xu Mingjian didn't quite understand Xu Cang's meaning. Recruitment also involved getting married and having children. Does this matter?
However, even though Xu Mingjian didn't understand much, he still answered truthfully: "I'm married and my son is five years old. My hometown is not in Weiyang, but it is indeed very close to Weiyang. Yes. Any questions?"

"Sure enough, the time is right, both the name and the place of origin." Xu Cang thought to himself.

Xu Mingjian was completely confused. Does this matter have something to do with recruiting?
Xu Cang saw that Xu Mingjian was a little confused, so he waved his hand: "Just ask."

"This..." Xu Mingjian said bluntly, "then you ask."

Xu Cang smiled and said: "If there is any relationship between the two, then I can tell you that there is a relationship. If you pass the test, a physical examination will be arranged later. As long as you pass the physical examination, then there is no problem."

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Minxue was extremely surprised and looked at Xu Cang in disbelief.On the other hand, Xu Mingjian showed ecstasy. He didn't expect that another village would be brightened, and this would happen.

Although there is still one physical examination short, Xu Mingjian is still very confident in his body.

Xu Mingjian was still there and thanked him a lot. Liu Minxue couldn't bear it anymore, and directly pulled Xu Cang back to his office, lowering his voice: "What do you mean, 32 years old, can you agree to this?"

"If you don't understand, just treat him as a special case."

Liu Minxue took a deep look at Xu Cang, and said nothing, which was basically a tacit agreement.

What if it is not the default?In the final analysis, Spring Airlines still has the final say on Xu Cang, and it's okay to make a special case.

Seeing that Liu Minxue had no objection, Xu Cang walked out of the office with a smile.At this moment, Xu Mingjian was still waiting at the door, and when he saw Xu Cang coming out, he kept thanking Xu Cang excitedly.

However, Xu Cang just said: "Mr. Xu, what do you think about letting your son learn to fly in the future?"

"Ah?" Xu Mingjian was taken aback: "Of course I would like that, but"

"It's nothing but, since you are willing, how about sending your son to me when he grows up?"

Now Xu Mingjian fell into ecstasy immediately. He didn't expect that he not only got the chance to regain his dream, but even his son's future job was settled in advance. It was like a dream.

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!"

"It's okay, I have something to go first."

Xu Cang shook hands with Xu Mingjian and left. After walking away, the smile on Xu Cang's face gradually faded.

"Is this really fate?" Xu Cang murmured.

In terms of flying alone, Xu Mingjian is indeed useless, which is the truth.Too old and without any talent!Xu Cang didn't believe that Xu Mingjian hadn't participated in the recruitment of other companies before. Since he finally devoted himself to field work, it could explain a lot of things.

However, he has a good son!That's right, the unborn son.

Who would have thought that a father with mediocre talents would have a son with the best talents in the world?

Twenty years later, a true legend will rise.And it was this man who made the unprecedented operation of flying the 20 backwards, and Xu Cang could learn from this move to deal with the special situation of 737.

That is a real genius, even Xu Cang can't compare it to himself!
Xu Cang is going to grow old after all, maybe it is a good choice to find a successor in advance.
