Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers
Chapter 318 Tithe Tax!The choice before dawn!
Chapter 318 Tithes!The choice before dawn!
Pratt & Whitney Power President's Office, Clarke is being briefed by the secretary on the event of the ban on Bombardier's PW6000 engine.
Not long ago, at the request of the representative of Airbus Americas, Pratt & Whitney Power will not renew the contract with Bombardier for power components suitable for CS300 passenger aircraft.This decision was not announced publicly, so until now, there has been no big report on the media side.
In the view of Pratt & Whitney Power, this is already the best effort they can make to preserve Bombardier.But the reality is that Bombardier is obviously not very appreciative. At least after issuing a private notice of banning the sale of engines, Bombardier replied with an extremely harsh letter of protest.
"Boeing, Embraer, and Gulfstream each sent letters to us asking why we banned the sale of PW6000 engines."
Clark's face was a bit ugly: "They are worried about their supply sources, really"
Although Pratt & Whitney Power’s ban on the sale of PW6000 engines to Bombardier has not been officially announced, it has not been deliberately kept secret. Those who are interested can find out, especially those aircraft manufacturers that will use Pratt & Whitney engines.
Pratt & Whitney Power can cut off Bombardier's engine supply today, and the one who can't guarantee it tomorrow is himself.
Therefore, after learning of this situation, Boeing, Embraer and Gulfstream all came to ask for an explanation.
These three companies are quite representative, respectively representing the leading positions in the field of trunk line aircraft, regional line aircraft and large business jets.Therefore, even Pratt & Whitney Power has to be treated with caution.
In fact, Clark didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, this kind of unreasonable ban on sales will consume Pratt & Whitney's credibility.However, the conditions offered by Airbus are quite attractive. In addition, from the perspective of the representative of Airbus Europe, Airbus is really impatient on Bombardier's CS300 aircraft.
The current ban on Bombardier's engine sales will certainly arouse the resentment of some other aircraft manufacturers, but what he knows is that if he does not cooperate with Airbus, what he will get is not the resentment of Airbus, but the real interests. .
The power of Airbus aircraft is not only Pratt & Whitney!
"You reply to them, and say that PW6000 is considering not renewing the engine order with Bombardier due to the adjustment of production capacity." Clark rubbed his temples: "I want to emphasize to them that we are not unilaterally banning sales, but not renewing the contract. .”
The secretary hesitated for a moment: "Why don't you say the last half of the sentence?"
For aircraft manufacturers, engines are very important, so generally aircraft manufacturers and engine manufacturers will reach a unified intention of long-term supply.
That is, if no party actively raises an objection, the supply agreement will continue indefinitely, and even be renewed after a certain period of contract ends.
In a literal sense, Clark's statement is indeed unmistakable.However, those companies are all veterans of civil aviation. Don't they know the rules of operation of civil aviation supply relationship?
In the absence of Bombardier's obvious fault, Pratt & Whitney Power unilaterally broke the long-term supply cooperation intention, which is basically equivalent to a breach of contract.
The reason why the secretary suggested not to add the second half of the sentence is because if you say such words to the three families, the three families will feel that they are being treated as fools, and on the contrary, it will arouse disgust.
"No, just add it." Clark shook his head: "There is still something to say on the table. Also, help me make an appointment with the president of Boeing. I need to meet with him alone."
Among the three, Boeing's position is undoubtedly the most important, so Clark felt that it was necessary for him to personally explain to Boeing's president.In addition, by the way, talk about the improved model of the future Boeing 787 power system PW4000-112.
普惠动力当然不会将原用于波音777的PW4000-112发动机原封不动地就供应在波音787上,这样容易显得普惠动力对波音787这个项目太过于敷衍。
However, with the experience of PW6000, Pratt & Whitney Power is still more confident in improving the PW4000-112 engine, and the power department has submitted an improvement draft on PW4000-112. Fan.
This also shows that Pratt & Whitney is very concerned about the Boeing 787 project.
The secretary nodded: "I will arrange it."
"If I remember correctly, the president of Boeing prefers sea fishing, so let's arrange the meeting place at Cape Cod."
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the United States is a world-renowned deep-sea fishing spot. In addition to the most basic sea fishing services, there is also a highly experiential activity such as diving fishing.If you like it, Cape Cod is indeed a good place to go.
"I will notify the Massachusetts branch and let them prepare the reception work in advance."
Clark hummed, and casually touched the wall of the freshly brewed coffee cup, thinking that it should be almost ready, so he picked it up and took a few sips.
Speaking of the meeting, Clark naturally thought of the business negotiation invitation he sent to Spring and Summer Airlines not long ago.
"Is there any news about the negotiation invitation sent to Spring and Summer Airlines?"
"Yes!" The secretary hurriedly said: "Spring and Summer Airlines agreed to conduct a formal business negotiation, but the specific location and level of the negotiation have not yet been determined. We will continue to contact them and finalize the details as soon as possible."
Clark was not surprised by this result, and took another sip of coffee: "Not bad, keep an eye on it."
"In addition, there is one more thing." The secretary added: "Spring and Summer Airlines asked us additionally whether they intend to conduct flight tests of PW8000 when they responded."
Hearing this, the calm and composed president of Pratt & Whitney Power shook his right hand and almost spilled the coffee.
"He said he wanted to participate in the flight test of PW8000?" Clark said excitedly.
"He?" The secretary was a little puzzled: "Spring and Summer Airlines' reply simply asked about the flight test of the PW8000, and there was no other relevant expression."
"No more?" Clark was taken aback: "Didn't you say anything about Xu Cang?"
The secretary shook his head firmly: "No, it's just a simple additional inquiry."
Clark put down his coffee cup and paced back and forth in the office, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his paw.Not long ago, Rollo-Royce completed the flight test of the Trent 1000 at an extraordinary speed, which greatly advanced the commercial time of this engine. Clark must be lying if he says he is not envious.
With the vigorous development of the East Asian market, the world's civil aviation has changed from a stock market to an incremental market, and after the issuance of the euro, the European market, which had weakened its growth momentum, began to have a second spring.It is almost certain that the world civil aviation market will usher in a golden period of at least ten years in the future.
In the field of aero engines, the first-mover advantage is extremely important. As long as the land is occupied, it will not be easy for other engines to come in later.
Because the aircraft and the engine are compatible, as long as one or two models of the power system are determined at the initial stage, there is a high probability that it will not change in the future, which means that you can always enjoy the profits of related models.
Although the initial power intention of the Boeing 787 project has been decided and made public, but with the release of the Trent 1000, this initial intention is obviously unstable.
However, if the PW8000 engine is successfully developed, this variable-speed engine may become an epoch-making aero engine, and it is not impossible to be comparable to the CFM56.
However, because the shifting concept of PW8000 is too advanced, even Pratt & Whitney himself has no idea, so he always puts PW8000 on the shelf.
But if Xu Cang is willing to help, then Pratt & Whitney can test the PW8000 at a relatively cheap cost, and the room for trial and error can be greatly improved.
Clark dreamed of owning an engine like the CFM56, and all his ideas were bet on the PW8000.It's just that the Pratt & Whitney Group headquarters doesn't have much confidence in this revolutionary engine, but if there is Xu Cang, Clark is confident in persuading the group headquarters to allocate a large amount of money for PW8000.
In fact, the so-called business negotiation itself does not exist.Clark's idea is also to hook up with Xu Cang and test Xu Cang's ideas.
Whether it was the Boeing 777 or the Trent 1000, there was actually no danger in the test flight. With this result, maybe Xu Cang would not be so resistant to the test flight.
After all, anyone is willing to obtain extremely high returns without taking too much risk.
"No hurry, no hurry. Chunxia Airlines dared to reply like this, they must have consulted Xu Cang's opinion, or more likely Xu Cang's instruction, at least Xu Cang should have some ideas about PW8000." Clark pondered For a moment, it quickly occurred to me that at the World Civil Aviation Conference in Hanjing, when I first met Xu Cang, Xu Cang mentioned that there would be room for cooperation between the two parties in the future, and I didn't expect it to come so soon.
The secretary pondered for a while: "Do you need me to find out what Spring and Summer Airlines say?"
Clark was silent for a moment, just as he was about to speak, the office door was roughly pushed open with a loud noise, and a man in his 30s rushed in.
"Don't you know that you need to knock on the door before you come in?" Clark shouted coldly.
This person is from the secretary's office of the president. Clark has more than one secretary. Moreover, this man is quite diligent in his hands and feet, and he usually does things more prudently. Why is he so reckless today?
"Something went wrong!" The male secretary breathed a sigh of relief: "The news came from the European branch that a Boeing 777 of British Airways has encountered an emergency and has now diverted to Munich."
Clark frowned. "Boeing 777?"
To be honest, at this point, Clark felt a little uneasy.Many early models of the Boeing 777 had the optional PW4000-112 engine.
"That's right! That 777 is powered by our PW4000-112 engine."
Although he had guessed something, when he heard the news, Clark couldn't help but gloomy.
"What was the cause of the accident?"
"Not yet." The male secretary took a deep breath, hoping to keep his tone as calm as possible: "However, according to the preliminary visual observation after landing, the casing of one of the Boeing 777's engines has almost completely fallen off, and the core The machines are all exposed."
"What!" Clark suddenly changed his expression: "The wall of the machine fell off!"
"That's right!" The male secretary was very sure: "When I first heard the news, I also found it unbelievable. Later, I cross-checked through various channels, and the news is basically confirmed. Now the plane is parked at Munich Airport, Boss, we what to do?"
Clark clenched his right hand into a fist, although the cause of the accident has not been investigated yet.However, no matter what the reason is, it is absolutely impossible to allow such a huge shedding of the outer wall of an aero-engine.
The engine must pass the restrictive test of the casing, otherwise, if the engine fails and various parts fly around, wouldn't it magnify the damage?
Therefore, no matter what happens inside the engine, even if it explodes, the receiver must limit the danger to the inside of the engine.From this point of view, the PW777-4000 engine of the Boeing 112 is a big problem.
Clark's face was quite ugly. The timing of this incident was too unlucky, just shortly after the Boeing 787 announced the choice of power system, and the engine in question was the PW4000-112 engine.
Although Pratt & Whitney will make improvements to the PW4000-112 engine in the future to adapt to the Boeing 787, but if such a big thing happens, Boeing will definitely have other ideas.
What Clark is most worried about now is that Boeing will take the PW4000-112 engine away from the Boeing 787's optional power.
"Notify the public relations department, at all costs"
In any case, it is definitely necessary to suppress the news first.However, as soon as Clark said this, the male secretary said with a sad face: "I'm afraid it won't work this time."
Clark was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"As far as I know, the part of the right wing of the Boeing 777 from the engine hanger to the outside is completely broken."
Clark could hardly believe his ears: "The big wing broke, and then the plane flew back?"
"That's right! It should be like this." The male secretary frowned. To be honest, he didn't believe it either, but after integrating various information channels, the result he got was just like this.
"Boss, this incident is destined to be recorded in the history of civil aviation. All the media are aware of the news value of this flight accident. Our public relations department may not be able to suppress it."
"The big wing is broken, the big wing is broken, can this fall?" Clark understood what the male secretary meant, and even Clark himself felt that it was impossible for the big wing to break, but this impossible thing happened. , both ordinary people and professionals must have an extremely strong interest in this matter.
Presumably it won't be long before this matter is bound to become a prairie fire, and it cannot be suppressed at all.
The male secretary was the first to realize the seriousness of this matter, so he lost his composure extremely rarely.
"The European branch is asking us what to do?"
For such a big matter, the European branch of Pratt & Whitney Power is already in a mess, so I can only ask the headquarters.
Clark thought for a while: "Talk to Boeing. The accident happened with a 777. They must also want to suppress the incident. The two of us joined hands, not to mention completely crushing the incident, and we can maintain the scope of influence at an acceptable level. level should still be acceptable.”
The male secretary nodded: "I'll do it right away."
In this matter, at least for now, Boeing and Pratt & Whitney are regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope, and even Boeing may not be much easier than Pratt & Whitney.
The Boeing 777, a highly anticipated but ill-fated model, has just been fully commercialized.If the public opinion on this matter expands, it will be very harmful to Boeing 777.
The Pratt & Whitney family can't suppress public opinion, but if Boeing is added, things will be easier.However, Clark also knows that such a big event cannot be completely crushed to death.The only thing he is looking forward to now is to buy more time so that they can come up with a corresponding strategy.
"Wait a minute!" Clark stopped the male secretary: "Help me book the nearest ticket to Germany."
"You want to go there yourself?"
"For such a big matter, the European branch can't control it at all. I have to go there."
"What about the meeting with the Boeing president?"
"Postponed!" Clark yelled softly: "After such a big incident, the Boeing president probably doesn't have the heart to fish anymore. By the way, how long will it take to fly to Germany?"
"Seven hours?" The male secretary was a little uncertain.
"Seven hours, so slow?" Clark grumbled. "If Concorde is still operating, it will only take half the time, damn it."
Clark felt sorry for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, who is the captain of the plane?"
Although various things irritated Clark, it is human nature to be curious.To be honest, he really wanted to know who could complete such an anti-human operation.
"I checked. There are two sets on that 777. The first captain is Schneider, an ordinary captain of British Airways. The second captain is David, and he is the flight specialist for the European Region of the International Civil Aviation Organization."
"A flight specialist in the European region?" Clark was stunned for a moment. These flight specialists are still relatively small, and they are all dragons and phoenixes: "So, the one who landed was the flight specialist named David?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Oh?" Clark raised the volume: "Any other guesses?"
The male secretary paused: "On the plane, there is another flight specialist from the Asia-Pacific region."
Clark narrowed his eyes: "Asia-Pacific region, who?"
"Xu Cang!"
Munich Airport has not been this lively for a long time.Although it is also a relatively famous airport in Germany, under the huge siphon effect of Berlin, Munich Airport has always been unable to get up and down, which is very uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, a large number of vehicles and people gathered near runway 17/35 of Munich Airport, including many pilots wearing reflective vests.
Because the air volume at Munich Airport exceeded the standard, a large number of routes were delayed at this field, and it was impossible to take off at this field.The pilots of many flights have been waiting on the plane for several hours, and it is the time when they are extremely bored. Now that there is a good show, how can they not get involved?
Runway 17/35 of Munich Airport is an old runway, and the corresponding T1 flight building is also old. The apron is very close to the runway, and it is only a few steps away.The additional runway No. 16/34 is a new runway, and the supporting T2 terminal building is also brand new. The apron area is so large that it is very troublesome to walk around.
Some bored and uncomfortable pilots put on reflective vests and walked from the edge of the apron to the runway on the grass.
Originally, Munich Airport was in chaos because of the landing of British Airways Flight 531, and no one cared about the pilots who approached.
However, these pilots are also sensible.Never go on the taxiway, even if there is no plane around, other people walk on the taxiway without any scruples, but they insist on not taking the flat taxiway, but choose to walk on the slightly rough grass next to it.
Moreover, these people were all wearing reflective clothing, and they did not do anything out of the ordinary. The airport just turned a blind eye, otherwise, even if it was troublesome, they would all be driven away.
These pilots walked together, and when they arrived at the plane, the people on board had already evacuated in sevens and eighties.
Among them, someone saw David at a glance.
After all, among the crowd, wearing a pilot uniform and carrying four stripes is quite eye-catching.In particular, Captain David is the Commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization in the European Region, and he still has a great reputation.
As a result, many pilots gathered around, and the leader was an old man with white beard and hair, who seemed to be nearing retirement.The old man walked up to David and grabbed David's hand with great excitement: "We all saw your landing just now, it's too powerful, too powerful. Before, you were the flight commissioner of ICAO Europe, and I For those who still raise objections, here I sincerely apologize to you."
Like Xu Cang, David was also questioned when he served as ICAO's regional flight commissioner, mainly because he was too young.Among them, the old man in front of him was among the opponents.This person has high qualifications and gave David a headache for a long time.
Later, even if David became the flight commissioner of the European region as he wished, the old man still didn't take David seriously.
However, today he was completely convinced by David, and landed with his broken wing. This is something no pilot would dare to think about, but David made it happen.
When this kind of operation limited to the existence of fantasy really becomes a reality, the impact is unparalleled.
A group of younger pilots in the back wanted to kneel down and kiss David's shoes. The operation just now was simply miraculous, and they couldn't figure out how it was done.
Looking at the surrounding peers who showed admiration, David sighed dejectedly: "I didn't fall for it just now."
"Didn't you fall?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to the somewhat dazed crew member Schneider standing not far away: "That's him? Who is he?"
Obviously, compared to David, who was promoted to the flight commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization at a young age, Captain Schneider's reputation is much smaller.
"His name is Schneider, I have had dinner with him." One of the pilots said: "But, is he so powerful?"
In his impression, Schneider's technique is indeed good, but it is definitely not amazing.
Or do you mean you can't judge people by their appearance?
But the difference is too big.
"It's not him either!" David said helplessly.
"Who is that!?"
In the noisy crowd, there was a voice full of enthusiasm.The old man who had spoken before was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and found Richard coming at a fast pace.
Many people knew Richard. For the chairman of the International Federal Airline Pilots Association, the pilots gave enough respect and made way for him.
Richard walked up to David slowly: "Who left that?"
David didn't expect Richard to appear here, but he didn't speak, but moved his eyes to a young figure at the corner of the evacuated passengers.
Richard followed David's gaze and trembled when he saw the man's back, and murmured softly, "Sure enough, only he can do it."
So, Richard left David and walked towards the independent figure.
In the slightly noisy environment, Xu Cang just stood there quietly.He is so different, it seems that when all the troubles approach him, he will consciously settle down.
With his hands behind his back, Xu Cang looked towards the Alps.At this moment, the Alps are actually not very visible, but the huge air mass hovering on the mountain covers the sky, how can we not see it?
"Xu Cang!"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.Feeling something in Xu Cang's heart, he turned his body slightly, turned his gaze back to the man standing behind him: "Richard?"
Richard clutched his chest, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Sure enough, he is the one he likes!
Only he can accomplish miracles beyond the reach of human beings!
"It was you who landed on the ground just now." Richard asked tremblingly, very carefully, and even looked a little humble.
However, Xu Cang didn't let him finish speaking, nor did he give him any answer.
"Richard!" Xu Cang said indifferently, "Do me a favor!"
British Airways headquarters building.
"What are you talking about, you want to organize a new batch of Alpine rescue?" In the office, Vice President Jerry listened to the report of his subordinates, only feeling incredible: "Didn't it mean that the snowstorm in the Alps has strengthened again? Success, can you still succeed now?"
Whether it is from the meteorological department or the feedback from the air traffic department, the snowstorm in the Alps is getting stronger and stronger.When the wind and snow ahead were still relatively light, rescue operations were attempted several times to no avail, and even almost died during the period.Now the intensity of the wind and snow is getting higher and higher, isn't this a brain twitch?
"What's going on with the rescue team?"
The subordinates corrected Jerry's statement: "This time the rescue was not organized by the rescue team, but by a person named Xu Cang."
"Xu Cang?" Jerry, the vice president of British Airways, was taken aback. "This name sounds familiar. Have you heard it somewhere?"
"Before, when we were in Jakarta, it was Xu Cang."
"It turned out to be him!" Jerry stood up slowly, with a trace of anxiety in his heart.
He doesn't know much about flying, but he has heard the report of the British Airways Jakarta volcanic ash incident.The experienced captains in the company highly praised Xu Cang's performance in the Jakarta volcanic ash incident, especially the captain of flight 1009 at that time exaggerated Xu Cang's magic.
It's the same person who performed a miracle in Jakarta, won't he do it again in the Alps?
Some people's upper limit is something to consider!
"Not long ago, Mr. Richard telegraphed the family members or lawyers of all the stranded vacationers. At dawn tomorrow, a plane will take off from Munich. This plane will be fully loaded with supplies, and the destination is Manor Airport. The supplies are enough The people in the manor have safely passed the dangerous period of the snowstorm." The subordinate said indifferently: "However, as a price, one-tenth of the net worth of all the trapped vacationers will be used as the reward for this rescue."
These agreements involving a huge amount of money must be signed by hand, but those people are all tied up in the Alps, and they cannot come to sign the agreement at all.Then it needs to be signed by his immediate family member with his consent.
For those who are alone, it will be signed by their responsible personal lawyer.
"Then there are only about twelve hours." Jerry sat in the seat and pondered for a long time: "How likely do you think he will succeed?"
"I don't know." The subordinate said: "However, the information of flight 531 was fed back just now. He landed the plane safely at Munich Airport when the right wing was broken."
"What?" Jerry shook his right hand suddenly: "A plane with a broken wing can still fall, are you kidding me?"
The subordinate didn't speak anymore, but this attitude already explained a lot.
"The big wing is broken, the big wing is broken." Jerry felt chills all over his body. Is this person named Xu Cang really human?Even a plane with a broken wing can fall.
If this is the case, he might actually be able to transport supplies to the Alps.
If the trip really takes place, won't British Airways president Ashley survive?Wouldn't his hope of climbing the ladder be in vain?
"The president has no family, and his personal lawyer is in the company's legal department. Do you want to let him go to Germany?"
The agreement needs to be signed in person, and cannot be agreed orally, nor can it be signed remotely.Therefore, the personal lawyer of British Airways President Isiris must go to Munich, Germany.
"What if someone disagrees?" Jerry asked suddenly.
"According to the news sent by Mr. Richard, unless everyone agrees and signs the agreement, the rescue will not proceed." The subordinate said: "And, the time limit is tomorrow dawn."
"Is that so?" As a result, Jerry began to have other thoughts in his mind.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open a small crack, revealing the secretary's voice: "Mr. Parick, Representative Luo Luo is looking for you."
Jerry's full name is Jerry Patrick.If it is a familiar person, it is generally called Jerry, but not so familiar or to show respect, it is called his Last name, that is, Pari Ke.
"Luo Luo?" Jerry was taken aback, "What are they looking for me for?"
He really couldn't think of any intersection between himself and Luo Luo's people.
Jerry thought for a while: "Just say I have arrangements."
As a result, as soon as the voice fell, the office door that was only opened a crack was completely pushed open, revealing the figure of Rolls-Royce's chief engineer, Jonathan.
Jonathan walked in slowly with a different smile: "Mr. Parick, you don't look very busy."
"Jonathan Meyers?" Jerry frowned. "What's the matter?"
Jonathan chuckled and said, "It's nothing special, just pick someone up."
"Huh?" Jerry became more and more puzzled: "Who?"
Jonathan laughed: "Your president, Ashley's personal lawyer."
In a hotel in Munich, Germany, the crew of British Airways Flight 531 were all arranged here.It can only be said that British Airways is still rich and powerful, and directly booked a four-star hotel to accommodate the crew on board.
After reminding Xu Cang on the plane to check in, the girl tidied up a little and went out.Her target is none other than Xu Cang.
On the plane before, Xu Cang obviously knew her, but she couldn't remember it no matter what, just to answer this doubt, she had to ask Xu Cang face to face.
Moreover, after evacuating the plane, she saw that the right wing of the plane was almost broken in the middle.Under such circumstances, it is simply unbelievable that Xu Cang was able to land the plane.
No matter what the purpose was, she felt that it was necessary to find Xu Cang.
Although this hotel is a four-star hotel, it does not occupy a large area, but the environment is quite beautiful.It is said to be a hotel, but it is more like an exquisite holiday estate.
The main body of the hotel is built on a hillside, and when you come out, you will see endless grass.Moreover, it is obvious that the hotel staff must periodically trim the grass, so that from a distance, the endless grass looks neat and tidy, without a trace of unevenness.
Xu Cang was not difficult to find, under the dim sun that was about to set, Xu Cang just stood quietly on the grass, like a sculpture.
The girl walked slowly behind Xu Cang, seeming to feel something, Xu Cang made a sound first: "I should be the one looking for you."
"It's all the same!" The girl had no special expression on her face: "Don't you take a rest, you should be very tired."
"I can't rest. Once I rest, my energy will be exhausted." Xu Cang said calmly with her back on his back, "At least until tomorrow dawn."
The girl pondered for a while: "You are maintaining your own state, do you have other things to do?"
"Articles are made naturally, and they are obtained by chance. Now I am at the peak of my history, and I must take advantage of this short time to do something."
"For example, to rescue the more than 100 trapped rich people?"
Xu Cang smiled softly: "You know?"
"When you evacuated just now, I saw that you were looking in the direction of the Alps, or the air mass above." The girl snorted coldly: "At the most intense moment of your life, do you still want to do those things that are full of copper smell? "
Xu Cang was not angry at all: "Then what do you care about? Personal feelings? Family, friendship, or love?"
The girl seemed a little uneasy, she felt as if she had been substituted into the rhythm of Xu Cang's conversation, but she still answered.
"Although these are illusory, they are hard to remember, aren't they?"
"So, if it is a necessary choice, you are even willing to give up your own life for it?" Xu Cang turned around slowly, the last ray of sunlight shone on his side face, reflecting soft but firm lines .
His eyes fell on the girl, and he uttered a soft but heart-pounding voice: "Is that so? Lianshan!"
(End of this chapter)
Pratt & Whitney Power President's Office, Clarke is being briefed by the secretary on the event of the ban on Bombardier's PW6000 engine.
Not long ago, at the request of the representative of Airbus Americas, Pratt & Whitney Power will not renew the contract with Bombardier for power components suitable for CS300 passenger aircraft.This decision was not announced publicly, so until now, there has been no big report on the media side.
In the view of Pratt & Whitney Power, this is already the best effort they can make to preserve Bombardier.But the reality is that Bombardier is obviously not very appreciative. At least after issuing a private notice of banning the sale of engines, Bombardier replied with an extremely harsh letter of protest.
"Boeing, Embraer, and Gulfstream each sent letters to us asking why we banned the sale of PW6000 engines."
Clark's face was a bit ugly: "They are worried about their supply sources, really"
Although Pratt & Whitney Power’s ban on the sale of PW6000 engines to Bombardier has not been officially announced, it has not been deliberately kept secret. Those who are interested can find out, especially those aircraft manufacturers that will use Pratt & Whitney engines.
Pratt & Whitney Power can cut off Bombardier's engine supply today, and the one who can't guarantee it tomorrow is himself.
Therefore, after learning of this situation, Boeing, Embraer and Gulfstream all came to ask for an explanation.
These three companies are quite representative, respectively representing the leading positions in the field of trunk line aircraft, regional line aircraft and large business jets.Therefore, even Pratt & Whitney Power has to be treated with caution.
In fact, Clark didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, this kind of unreasonable ban on sales will consume Pratt & Whitney's credibility.However, the conditions offered by Airbus are quite attractive. In addition, from the perspective of the representative of Airbus Europe, Airbus is really impatient on Bombardier's CS300 aircraft.
The current ban on Bombardier's engine sales will certainly arouse the resentment of some other aircraft manufacturers, but what he knows is that if he does not cooperate with Airbus, what he will get is not the resentment of Airbus, but the real interests. .
The power of Airbus aircraft is not only Pratt & Whitney!
"You reply to them, and say that PW6000 is considering not renewing the engine order with Bombardier due to the adjustment of production capacity." Clark rubbed his temples: "I want to emphasize to them that we are not unilaterally banning sales, but not renewing the contract. .”
The secretary hesitated for a moment: "Why don't you say the last half of the sentence?"
For aircraft manufacturers, engines are very important, so generally aircraft manufacturers and engine manufacturers will reach a unified intention of long-term supply.
That is, if no party actively raises an objection, the supply agreement will continue indefinitely, and even be renewed after a certain period of contract ends.
In a literal sense, Clark's statement is indeed unmistakable.However, those companies are all veterans of civil aviation. Don't they know the rules of operation of civil aviation supply relationship?
In the absence of Bombardier's obvious fault, Pratt & Whitney Power unilaterally broke the long-term supply cooperation intention, which is basically equivalent to a breach of contract.
The reason why the secretary suggested not to add the second half of the sentence is because if you say such words to the three families, the three families will feel that they are being treated as fools, and on the contrary, it will arouse disgust.
"No, just add it." Clark shook his head: "There is still something to say on the table. Also, help me make an appointment with the president of Boeing. I need to meet with him alone."
Among the three, Boeing's position is undoubtedly the most important, so Clark felt that it was necessary for him to personally explain to Boeing's president.In addition, by the way, talk about the improved model of the future Boeing 787 power system PW4000-112.
普惠动力当然不会将原用于波音777的PW4000-112发动机原封不动地就供应在波音787上,这样容易显得普惠动力对波音787这个项目太过于敷衍。
However, with the experience of PW6000, Pratt & Whitney Power is still more confident in improving the PW4000-112 engine, and the power department has submitted an improvement draft on PW4000-112. Fan.
This also shows that Pratt & Whitney is very concerned about the Boeing 787 project.
The secretary nodded: "I will arrange it."
"If I remember correctly, the president of Boeing prefers sea fishing, so let's arrange the meeting place at Cape Cod."
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the United States is a world-renowned deep-sea fishing spot. In addition to the most basic sea fishing services, there is also a highly experiential activity such as diving fishing.If you like it, Cape Cod is indeed a good place to go.
"I will notify the Massachusetts branch and let them prepare the reception work in advance."
Clark hummed, and casually touched the wall of the freshly brewed coffee cup, thinking that it should be almost ready, so he picked it up and took a few sips.
Speaking of the meeting, Clark naturally thought of the business negotiation invitation he sent to Spring and Summer Airlines not long ago.
"Is there any news about the negotiation invitation sent to Spring and Summer Airlines?"
"Yes!" The secretary hurriedly said: "Spring and Summer Airlines agreed to conduct a formal business negotiation, but the specific location and level of the negotiation have not yet been determined. We will continue to contact them and finalize the details as soon as possible."
Clark was not surprised by this result, and took another sip of coffee: "Not bad, keep an eye on it."
"In addition, there is one more thing." The secretary added: "Spring and Summer Airlines asked us additionally whether they intend to conduct flight tests of PW8000 when they responded."
Hearing this, the calm and composed president of Pratt & Whitney Power shook his right hand and almost spilled the coffee.
"He said he wanted to participate in the flight test of PW8000?" Clark said excitedly.
"He?" The secretary was a little puzzled: "Spring and Summer Airlines' reply simply asked about the flight test of the PW8000, and there was no other relevant expression."
"No more?" Clark was taken aback: "Didn't you say anything about Xu Cang?"
The secretary shook his head firmly: "No, it's just a simple additional inquiry."
Clark put down his coffee cup and paced back and forth in the office, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his paw.Not long ago, Rollo-Royce completed the flight test of the Trent 1000 at an extraordinary speed, which greatly advanced the commercial time of this engine. Clark must be lying if he says he is not envious.
With the vigorous development of the East Asian market, the world's civil aviation has changed from a stock market to an incremental market, and after the issuance of the euro, the European market, which had weakened its growth momentum, began to have a second spring.It is almost certain that the world civil aviation market will usher in a golden period of at least ten years in the future.
In the field of aero engines, the first-mover advantage is extremely important. As long as the land is occupied, it will not be easy for other engines to come in later.
Because the aircraft and the engine are compatible, as long as one or two models of the power system are determined at the initial stage, there is a high probability that it will not change in the future, which means that you can always enjoy the profits of related models.
Although the initial power intention of the Boeing 787 project has been decided and made public, but with the release of the Trent 1000, this initial intention is obviously unstable.
However, if the PW8000 engine is successfully developed, this variable-speed engine may become an epoch-making aero engine, and it is not impossible to be comparable to the CFM56.
However, because the shifting concept of PW8000 is too advanced, even Pratt & Whitney himself has no idea, so he always puts PW8000 on the shelf.
But if Xu Cang is willing to help, then Pratt & Whitney can test the PW8000 at a relatively cheap cost, and the room for trial and error can be greatly improved.
Clark dreamed of owning an engine like the CFM56, and all his ideas were bet on the PW8000.It's just that the Pratt & Whitney Group headquarters doesn't have much confidence in this revolutionary engine, but if there is Xu Cang, Clark is confident in persuading the group headquarters to allocate a large amount of money for PW8000.
In fact, the so-called business negotiation itself does not exist.Clark's idea is also to hook up with Xu Cang and test Xu Cang's ideas.
Whether it was the Boeing 777 or the Trent 1000, there was actually no danger in the test flight. With this result, maybe Xu Cang would not be so resistant to the test flight.
After all, anyone is willing to obtain extremely high returns without taking too much risk.
"No hurry, no hurry. Chunxia Airlines dared to reply like this, they must have consulted Xu Cang's opinion, or more likely Xu Cang's instruction, at least Xu Cang should have some ideas about PW8000." Clark pondered For a moment, it quickly occurred to me that at the World Civil Aviation Conference in Hanjing, when I first met Xu Cang, Xu Cang mentioned that there would be room for cooperation between the two parties in the future, and I didn't expect it to come so soon.
The secretary pondered for a while: "Do you need me to find out what Spring and Summer Airlines say?"
Clark was silent for a moment, just as he was about to speak, the office door was roughly pushed open with a loud noise, and a man in his 30s rushed in.
"Don't you know that you need to knock on the door before you come in?" Clark shouted coldly.
This person is from the secretary's office of the president. Clark has more than one secretary. Moreover, this man is quite diligent in his hands and feet, and he usually does things more prudently. Why is he so reckless today?
"Something went wrong!" The male secretary breathed a sigh of relief: "The news came from the European branch that a Boeing 777 of British Airways has encountered an emergency and has now diverted to Munich."
Clark frowned. "Boeing 777?"
To be honest, at this point, Clark felt a little uneasy.Many early models of the Boeing 777 had the optional PW4000-112 engine.
"That's right! That 777 is powered by our PW4000-112 engine."
Although he had guessed something, when he heard the news, Clark couldn't help but gloomy.
"What was the cause of the accident?"
"Not yet." The male secretary took a deep breath, hoping to keep his tone as calm as possible: "However, according to the preliminary visual observation after landing, the casing of one of the Boeing 777's engines has almost completely fallen off, and the core The machines are all exposed."
"What!" Clark suddenly changed his expression: "The wall of the machine fell off!"
"That's right!" The male secretary was very sure: "When I first heard the news, I also found it unbelievable. Later, I cross-checked through various channels, and the news is basically confirmed. Now the plane is parked at Munich Airport, Boss, we what to do?"
Clark clenched his right hand into a fist, although the cause of the accident has not been investigated yet.However, no matter what the reason is, it is absolutely impossible to allow such a huge shedding of the outer wall of an aero-engine.
The engine must pass the restrictive test of the casing, otherwise, if the engine fails and various parts fly around, wouldn't it magnify the damage?
Therefore, no matter what happens inside the engine, even if it explodes, the receiver must limit the danger to the inside of the engine.From this point of view, the PW777-4000 engine of the Boeing 112 is a big problem.
Clark's face was quite ugly. The timing of this incident was too unlucky, just shortly after the Boeing 787 announced the choice of power system, and the engine in question was the PW4000-112 engine.
Although Pratt & Whitney will make improvements to the PW4000-112 engine in the future to adapt to the Boeing 787, but if such a big thing happens, Boeing will definitely have other ideas.
What Clark is most worried about now is that Boeing will take the PW4000-112 engine away from the Boeing 787's optional power.
"Notify the public relations department, at all costs"
In any case, it is definitely necessary to suppress the news first.However, as soon as Clark said this, the male secretary said with a sad face: "I'm afraid it won't work this time."
Clark was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"As far as I know, the part of the right wing of the Boeing 777 from the engine hanger to the outside is completely broken."
Clark could hardly believe his ears: "The big wing broke, and then the plane flew back?"
"That's right! It should be like this." The male secretary frowned. To be honest, he didn't believe it either, but after integrating various information channels, the result he got was just like this.
"Boss, this incident is destined to be recorded in the history of civil aviation. All the media are aware of the news value of this flight accident. Our public relations department may not be able to suppress it."
"The big wing is broken, the big wing is broken, can this fall?" Clark understood what the male secretary meant, and even Clark himself felt that it was impossible for the big wing to break, but this impossible thing happened. , both ordinary people and professionals must have an extremely strong interest in this matter.
Presumably it won't be long before this matter is bound to become a prairie fire, and it cannot be suppressed at all.
The male secretary was the first to realize the seriousness of this matter, so he lost his composure extremely rarely.
"The European branch is asking us what to do?"
For such a big matter, the European branch of Pratt & Whitney Power is already in a mess, so I can only ask the headquarters.
Clark thought for a while: "Talk to Boeing. The accident happened with a 777. They must also want to suppress the incident. The two of us joined hands, not to mention completely crushing the incident, and we can maintain the scope of influence at an acceptable level. level should still be acceptable.”
The male secretary nodded: "I'll do it right away."
In this matter, at least for now, Boeing and Pratt & Whitney are regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope, and even Boeing may not be much easier than Pratt & Whitney.
The Boeing 777, a highly anticipated but ill-fated model, has just been fully commercialized.If the public opinion on this matter expands, it will be very harmful to Boeing 777.
The Pratt & Whitney family can't suppress public opinion, but if Boeing is added, things will be easier.However, Clark also knows that such a big event cannot be completely crushed to death.The only thing he is looking forward to now is to buy more time so that they can come up with a corresponding strategy.
"Wait a minute!" Clark stopped the male secretary: "Help me book the nearest ticket to Germany."
"You want to go there yourself?"
"For such a big matter, the European branch can't control it at all. I have to go there."
"What about the meeting with the Boeing president?"
"Postponed!" Clark yelled softly: "After such a big incident, the Boeing president probably doesn't have the heart to fish anymore. By the way, how long will it take to fly to Germany?"
"Seven hours?" The male secretary was a little uncertain.
"Seven hours, so slow?" Clark grumbled. "If Concorde is still operating, it will only take half the time, damn it."
Clark felt sorry for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, who is the captain of the plane?"
Although various things irritated Clark, it is human nature to be curious.To be honest, he really wanted to know who could complete such an anti-human operation.
"I checked. There are two sets on that 777. The first captain is Schneider, an ordinary captain of British Airways. The second captain is David, and he is the flight specialist for the European Region of the International Civil Aviation Organization."
"A flight specialist in the European region?" Clark was stunned for a moment. These flight specialists are still relatively small, and they are all dragons and phoenixes: "So, the one who landed was the flight specialist named David?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Oh?" Clark raised the volume: "Any other guesses?"
The male secretary paused: "On the plane, there is another flight specialist from the Asia-Pacific region."
Clark narrowed his eyes: "Asia-Pacific region, who?"
"Xu Cang!"
Munich Airport has not been this lively for a long time.Although it is also a relatively famous airport in Germany, under the huge siphon effect of Berlin, Munich Airport has always been unable to get up and down, which is very uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, a large number of vehicles and people gathered near runway 17/35 of Munich Airport, including many pilots wearing reflective vests.
Because the air volume at Munich Airport exceeded the standard, a large number of routes were delayed at this field, and it was impossible to take off at this field.The pilots of many flights have been waiting on the plane for several hours, and it is the time when they are extremely bored. Now that there is a good show, how can they not get involved?
Runway 17/35 of Munich Airport is an old runway, and the corresponding T1 flight building is also old. The apron is very close to the runway, and it is only a few steps away.The additional runway No. 16/34 is a new runway, and the supporting T2 terminal building is also brand new. The apron area is so large that it is very troublesome to walk around.
Some bored and uncomfortable pilots put on reflective vests and walked from the edge of the apron to the runway on the grass.
Originally, Munich Airport was in chaos because of the landing of British Airways Flight 531, and no one cared about the pilots who approached.
However, these pilots are also sensible.Never go on the taxiway, even if there is no plane around, other people walk on the taxiway without any scruples, but they insist on not taking the flat taxiway, but choose to walk on the slightly rough grass next to it.
Moreover, these people were all wearing reflective clothing, and they did not do anything out of the ordinary. The airport just turned a blind eye, otherwise, even if it was troublesome, they would all be driven away.
These pilots walked together, and when they arrived at the plane, the people on board had already evacuated in sevens and eighties.
Among them, someone saw David at a glance.
After all, among the crowd, wearing a pilot uniform and carrying four stripes is quite eye-catching.In particular, Captain David is the Commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization in the European Region, and he still has a great reputation.
As a result, many pilots gathered around, and the leader was an old man with white beard and hair, who seemed to be nearing retirement.The old man walked up to David and grabbed David's hand with great excitement: "We all saw your landing just now, it's too powerful, too powerful. Before, you were the flight commissioner of ICAO Europe, and I For those who still raise objections, here I sincerely apologize to you."
Like Xu Cang, David was also questioned when he served as ICAO's regional flight commissioner, mainly because he was too young.Among them, the old man in front of him was among the opponents.This person has high qualifications and gave David a headache for a long time.
Later, even if David became the flight commissioner of the European region as he wished, the old man still didn't take David seriously.
However, today he was completely convinced by David, and landed with his broken wing. This is something no pilot would dare to think about, but David made it happen.
When this kind of operation limited to the existence of fantasy really becomes a reality, the impact is unparalleled.
A group of younger pilots in the back wanted to kneel down and kiss David's shoes. The operation just now was simply miraculous, and they couldn't figure out how it was done.
Looking at the surrounding peers who showed admiration, David sighed dejectedly: "I didn't fall for it just now."
"Didn't you fall?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to the somewhat dazed crew member Schneider standing not far away: "That's him? Who is he?"
Obviously, compared to David, who was promoted to the flight commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization at a young age, Captain Schneider's reputation is much smaller.
"His name is Schneider, I have had dinner with him." One of the pilots said: "But, is he so powerful?"
In his impression, Schneider's technique is indeed good, but it is definitely not amazing.
Or do you mean you can't judge people by their appearance?
But the difference is too big.
"It's not him either!" David said helplessly.
"Who is that!?"
In the noisy crowd, there was a voice full of enthusiasm.The old man who had spoken before was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and found Richard coming at a fast pace.
Many people knew Richard. For the chairman of the International Federal Airline Pilots Association, the pilots gave enough respect and made way for him.
Richard walked up to David slowly: "Who left that?"
David didn't expect Richard to appear here, but he didn't speak, but moved his eyes to a young figure at the corner of the evacuated passengers.
Richard followed David's gaze and trembled when he saw the man's back, and murmured softly, "Sure enough, only he can do it."
So, Richard left David and walked towards the independent figure.
In the slightly noisy environment, Xu Cang just stood there quietly.He is so different, it seems that when all the troubles approach him, he will consciously settle down.
With his hands behind his back, Xu Cang looked towards the Alps.At this moment, the Alps are actually not very visible, but the huge air mass hovering on the mountain covers the sky, how can we not see it?
"Xu Cang!"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.Feeling something in Xu Cang's heart, he turned his body slightly, turned his gaze back to the man standing behind him: "Richard?"
Richard clutched his chest, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Sure enough, he is the one he likes!
Only he can accomplish miracles beyond the reach of human beings!
"It was you who landed on the ground just now." Richard asked tremblingly, very carefully, and even looked a little humble.
However, Xu Cang didn't let him finish speaking, nor did he give him any answer.
"Richard!" Xu Cang said indifferently, "Do me a favor!"
British Airways headquarters building.
"What are you talking about, you want to organize a new batch of Alpine rescue?" In the office, Vice President Jerry listened to the report of his subordinates, only feeling incredible: "Didn't it mean that the snowstorm in the Alps has strengthened again? Success, can you still succeed now?"
Whether it is from the meteorological department or the feedback from the air traffic department, the snowstorm in the Alps is getting stronger and stronger.When the wind and snow ahead were still relatively light, rescue operations were attempted several times to no avail, and even almost died during the period.Now the intensity of the wind and snow is getting higher and higher, isn't this a brain twitch?
"What's going on with the rescue team?"
The subordinates corrected Jerry's statement: "This time the rescue was not organized by the rescue team, but by a person named Xu Cang."
"Xu Cang?" Jerry, the vice president of British Airways, was taken aback. "This name sounds familiar. Have you heard it somewhere?"
"Before, when we were in Jakarta, it was Xu Cang."
"It turned out to be him!" Jerry stood up slowly, with a trace of anxiety in his heart.
He doesn't know much about flying, but he has heard the report of the British Airways Jakarta volcanic ash incident.The experienced captains in the company highly praised Xu Cang's performance in the Jakarta volcanic ash incident, especially the captain of flight 1009 at that time exaggerated Xu Cang's magic.
It's the same person who performed a miracle in Jakarta, won't he do it again in the Alps?
Some people's upper limit is something to consider!
"Not long ago, Mr. Richard telegraphed the family members or lawyers of all the stranded vacationers. At dawn tomorrow, a plane will take off from Munich. This plane will be fully loaded with supplies, and the destination is Manor Airport. The supplies are enough The people in the manor have safely passed the dangerous period of the snowstorm." The subordinate said indifferently: "However, as a price, one-tenth of the net worth of all the trapped vacationers will be used as the reward for this rescue."
These agreements involving a huge amount of money must be signed by hand, but those people are all tied up in the Alps, and they cannot come to sign the agreement at all.Then it needs to be signed by his immediate family member with his consent.
For those who are alone, it will be signed by their responsible personal lawyer.
"Then there are only about twelve hours." Jerry sat in the seat and pondered for a long time: "How likely do you think he will succeed?"
"I don't know." The subordinate said: "However, the information of flight 531 was fed back just now. He landed the plane safely at Munich Airport when the right wing was broken."
"What?" Jerry shook his right hand suddenly: "A plane with a broken wing can still fall, are you kidding me?"
The subordinate didn't speak anymore, but this attitude already explained a lot.
"The big wing is broken, the big wing is broken." Jerry felt chills all over his body. Is this person named Xu Cang really human?Even a plane with a broken wing can fall.
If this is the case, he might actually be able to transport supplies to the Alps.
If the trip really takes place, won't British Airways president Ashley survive?Wouldn't his hope of climbing the ladder be in vain?
"The president has no family, and his personal lawyer is in the company's legal department. Do you want to let him go to Germany?"
The agreement needs to be signed in person, and cannot be agreed orally, nor can it be signed remotely.Therefore, the personal lawyer of British Airways President Isiris must go to Munich, Germany.
"What if someone disagrees?" Jerry asked suddenly.
"According to the news sent by Mr. Richard, unless everyone agrees and signs the agreement, the rescue will not proceed." The subordinate said: "And, the time limit is tomorrow dawn."
"Is that so?" As a result, Jerry began to have other thoughts in his mind.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open a small crack, revealing the secretary's voice: "Mr. Parick, Representative Luo Luo is looking for you."
Jerry's full name is Jerry Patrick.If it is a familiar person, it is generally called Jerry, but not so familiar or to show respect, it is called his Last name, that is, Pari Ke.
"Luo Luo?" Jerry was taken aback, "What are they looking for me for?"
He really couldn't think of any intersection between himself and Luo Luo's people.
Jerry thought for a while: "Just say I have arrangements."
As a result, as soon as the voice fell, the office door that was only opened a crack was completely pushed open, revealing the figure of Rolls-Royce's chief engineer, Jonathan.
Jonathan walked in slowly with a different smile: "Mr. Parick, you don't look very busy."
"Jonathan Meyers?" Jerry frowned. "What's the matter?"
Jonathan chuckled and said, "It's nothing special, just pick someone up."
"Huh?" Jerry became more and more puzzled: "Who?"
Jonathan laughed: "Your president, Ashley's personal lawyer."
In a hotel in Munich, Germany, the crew of British Airways Flight 531 were all arranged here.It can only be said that British Airways is still rich and powerful, and directly booked a four-star hotel to accommodate the crew on board.
After reminding Xu Cang on the plane to check in, the girl tidied up a little and went out.Her target is none other than Xu Cang.
On the plane before, Xu Cang obviously knew her, but she couldn't remember it no matter what, just to answer this doubt, she had to ask Xu Cang face to face.
Moreover, after evacuating the plane, she saw that the right wing of the plane was almost broken in the middle.Under such circumstances, it is simply unbelievable that Xu Cang was able to land the plane.
No matter what the purpose was, she felt that it was necessary to find Xu Cang.
Although this hotel is a four-star hotel, it does not occupy a large area, but the environment is quite beautiful.It is said to be a hotel, but it is more like an exquisite holiday estate.
The main body of the hotel is built on a hillside, and when you come out, you will see endless grass.Moreover, it is obvious that the hotel staff must periodically trim the grass, so that from a distance, the endless grass looks neat and tidy, without a trace of unevenness.
Xu Cang was not difficult to find, under the dim sun that was about to set, Xu Cang just stood quietly on the grass, like a sculpture.
The girl walked slowly behind Xu Cang, seeming to feel something, Xu Cang made a sound first: "I should be the one looking for you."
"It's all the same!" The girl had no special expression on her face: "Don't you take a rest, you should be very tired."
"I can't rest. Once I rest, my energy will be exhausted." Xu Cang said calmly with her back on his back, "At least until tomorrow dawn."
The girl pondered for a while: "You are maintaining your own state, do you have other things to do?"
"Articles are made naturally, and they are obtained by chance. Now I am at the peak of my history, and I must take advantage of this short time to do something."
"For example, to rescue the more than 100 trapped rich people?"
Xu Cang smiled softly: "You know?"
"When you evacuated just now, I saw that you were looking in the direction of the Alps, or the air mass above." The girl snorted coldly: "At the most intense moment of your life, do you still want to do those things that are full of copper smell? "
Xu Cang was not angry at all: "Then what do you care about? Personal feelings? Family, friendship, or love?"
The girl seemed a little uneasy, she felt as if she had been substituted into the rhythm of Xu Cang's conversation, but she still answered.
"Although these are illusory, they are hard to remember, aren't they?"
"So, if it is a necessary choice, you are even willing to give up your own life for it?" Xu Cang turned around slowly, the last ray of sunlight shone on his side face, reflecting soft but firm lines .
His eyes fell on the girl, and he uttered a soft but heart-pounding voice: "Is that so? Lianshan!"
