Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 381 Hidden dangers of fan blades, fluorescence test!

About an hour later, Xu Mingjian's minor suturing operation was completed.After the anesthesia passed, Xu Cang went to visit Xu Mingjian.

Perhaps there was still some residual anesthesia. When Xu Cang entered the ward, Xu Mingjian sat on the bed with gauze wrapped around his head, his eyes blank, and he didn't react until Xu Cang walked to the bedside.

"Mr. Xu Xu." Xu Mingjian looked at Xu Cang apologetically: "I seem to be ashamed again."

Xu Cang comforted: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart."

"I can't seem to do anything well." Xu Mingjian looked very depressed: "The doctor told me just now that my left eye vision will be significantly affected. Is it possible that I can't be a pilot anymore?"

This question made Xu Cang silent, he didn't quite understand how to tell Xu Mingjian.After being silent for a while, Xu Cang felt that he had to clarify the words: "Things have already happened, and the results cannot be changed. What needs to be done is planning for the future."

"Future plan?" Xu Mingjian's face was full of confusion.

Xu Cang nodded: "Yes, the future plan. Now it is due to the objective physical condition. Although it is a pity, the road of flying is likely to be impossible. You should make some plans for your future life earlier, right? ? Do you have any thoughts of your own?"

"I" Xu Mingjian bowed his head and pondered for a long time, but he was still unable to give an answer.

Facing unexpected disasters, Xu Mingjian stood at a fork in his life, he seemed at a loss what to do.

Seeing that Xu Mingjian didn't know how to answer, Xu Cang pondered for a while: "If you don't mind, I can leave you a ground position in the company."

Xu Mingjian, who was still unable to make a decision, suddenly raised his head: "No need, really no need, you have treated me so much preferentially, I can no longer accept your gift."

To be honest, Xu Cang's giving to Xu Mingjian has reached an incomprehensible level.

Xu Mingjian, who was overage, was recruited, and he communicated with the aviation school privately to give Xu Mingjian more opportunities for trial and error. After Xu Mingjian was unable to engage in the aviation industry, he also offered another ground job, which is simply unimaginable.

"You can accept it, you deserve it." Xu Cang said flatly: "If you are worried that the ground position I arranged for you is too bad, then I can give you the bottom line now. Especially high-end ones are not acceptable. , because these positions require enough experience, and placing you there will only harm you. However, I can reserve a relatively leisurely middle-level position for you, and the income and workload should be satisfactory to you."

"No, no, Mr. Xu, I don't mean that." Xu Mingjian accepted it without the shame, and said quickly: "Mr. Xu, I remembered. I have relatives who work in the barley factory in my hometown, and I seem to be a small leader. , maybe I can ask him to arrange a job for me."

"Barley Factory?" Xu Cang frowned, "Aren't you lying to me?"

"I really didn't lie to you." Xu Mingjian hurriedly said: "It's good to work in the barley factory in my hometown, and I also take care of my family. I have been working outside and separated for a long time. My wife is about to give birth, so I can take care of the children in my hometown .”

At first Xu Cang wanted to keep him for a while, but when he heard Gu Gu’s words, Xu Cang immediately dismissed the idea and just nodded: “Well, it’s fine if you go back. Your injury this time is a work-related injury. You can get a basic salary."

Xu Mingjian was startled: "Mr. Xu, I'm going back to my hometown, and I can't work in spring and summer."

"No, you don't need to work. This is the compensation we give you. Although the monthly amount is not too much, you can get it until you are 60 years old." Xu Cang said.

"This..." Xu Mingjian knew that his basic salary in Spring and Summer Airlines was calculated according to the flight academy, and his monthly basic salary was [-].In this day and age, three thousand a month is not bad. The most important thing is that Xu Mingjian doesn't have to work at all, it belongs to white-collar money.

Although Xu Cang's reason was industrial injury compensation, Xu Mingjian always felt that it was not that simple.

Xu Cang looked at Xu Mingjian with some hesitation: "It's just compensation for work-related injuries. Is there any hesitation?"

"Ah? Oh." Hearing what Xu Cang said, Xu Mingjian seemed to have some reason, so he quickly thanked him and accepted it.

Xu Cang nodded: "Then you have a good rest, I won't bother you anymore."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang got up and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, Xu Mingjian suddenly shouted: "Mr. Xu, I don't understand why you gave me so much?"

Xu Mingjian is self-aware, and Xu Cang has nothing to gain from him.However, Xu Cang was a little too kind to him, which made Xu Mingjian a little burdened.

Xu Cang stopped, turned around and smiled: "It's okay, I've said it all, you deserve it, you don't need to have any doubts."

After the words fell, Xu Cang left the ward, leaving only Xu Mingjian who seemed to understand.

On the roof of the top floor of the Jianchuan Airport Group Building, even though the sky was already full of stars and the surrounding area was filled with mist, it was quite chilly, but the general manager Ye Shengning still leaned on the railing and stared at the Jianchuan Airport not far away.

Behind him, the secretary waited quietly without saying a word.

The two just stood there without communicating or speaking, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

After waiting for a while, Ye Shengning still broke the silence. He pointed in the direction of the airport: "Obviously our building is only on the 23rd floor. The view from the top is good, but the view below is almost invisible."

The secretary looked in the direction Ye Shengning pointed, and sure enough, the entire Jianchuan Airport was wrapped in thick fog, which was particularly obvious under the light.

The range of the fog is actually very limited, and the height must not exceed the top floor of the group building. The range is mainly on the airport apron, and some buildings in the airport work area are included in the fringe areas. This is very strange, as if the fog is specifically aimed at Jianchuan.

Moreover, once the fog at Jianchuan Airport forms, it will hardly dissipate unless it is in the afternoon, which is a very headache.

"This is not your responsibility, Mr. Ye." The secretary withdrew his gaze, and just said lightly, without much emotion in his words.

Ye Shengning pursed his lips, looking gloomy and displeased: "Jianchuan Airport was not supposed to be a place prone to fog. However, after the airport was built, a large reservoir was built near the airport, resulting in abundant water vapor in the airport area, which is extremely It is easy to form fog. However, the construction plan of the reservoir was not informed to me when selecting the site, which has caused such a situation now.”

Ye Shengning stopped complaining in the middle of speaking, but turned to look at the secretary: "How are the crews of the two airlines?"

"The flight crew of Rongcheng Airlines did not suffer any injuries. The situation of Spring and Summer Airlines is slightly worse. One of them was seriously injured, but it will not be life-threatening."

Ye Shengning kept pointing his right index finger on the cold metal railing, "Jianchuan Airport has had fog problems for many years, and many pilots are also complaining about it, right?"

"Boss Ye, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to take it to heart."

"However, I was the one who recited the infamy in the end. Will the crew talk about the reservoir when they complain? They may not know the inside story of the reservoir, and they will only blame everything on the location of the airport." Ye Shengning gritted his teeth. : "When the fog problem became more and more serious, I proposed to introduce foreign airport monitoring systems to monitor taxiing planes in real time, especially when visibility is low, so as to prevent wrong taxiing. However, they dislike airport monitoring The system is too expensive, and I have been reluctant to cause it for a long time. Now that such a big incident happens, the loss is enough to introduce the airport monitoring system.”

The so-called airport monitoring system is a cutting-edge civil aviation technology abroad.

Since the control unit can monitor the aircraft in the sky, according to the principle, the monitoring range should also be extended to the ground, that is, the position of the taxiing aircraft can be seen in real time on the ground control seat, so as to monitor and find out the location of the taxiing aircraft in time. mistake.

The reaction on the plane is also to use the signal of the plane's transponder to feed back to the airport monitoring system to judge the real-time position of the plane.

However, in the transponder setting, instead of using the TA/RA position, the altitude cut-off mode is used, which is actually not in line with the current pilot's procedural habits when taxiing.

Moreover, air routes are much wider than taxiways on the ground.This requires the airport monitoring system to maintain extremely high position accuracy.

Today's domestic conventional control radar is not enough, and an additional foreign monitoring system must be introduced.This thing is quite top-notch even in foreign countries, and the price is not cheap.

Since the establishment of Jianchuan Airport, that is, recently, with the development of the domestic economy, its throughput has only begun to increase.Earlier, Jianchuan Airport was basically at a loss.It's just a better day, except for Ye Shengning, the rest of the leaders don't want to spend all the money they have saved on the so-called airport monitoring system. They feel that even in low-visibility conditions, the controller's instructions are clear, If the flight crew executes well, then there will be no problems.

But they forget that people make mistakes, this is an objective law.

In fact, the price is not the whole reason, but also about the program changes.

Now domestic pilots turn their transponders to the standby position when taxiing. This has been done a long time ago, and it has become a habitual procedure for domestic pilots.

If Jianchuan Airport uses the airport monitoring system, it will need to change the pilot's procedures and habits, and it is the only one in the country. The airport group feels that this is easy to appear hypocritical.

In many cases, it is not a good thing to be independent, especially at Jianchuan Airport, if you are a pioneer, it is easy to cause unnecessary troubles.

In addition, it seems that the airport is not confident in its command ability, which is obviously not what the leaders of the airport group want to see.

Anyway, the phrase "the law of the ancestors is immutable" has its own practical significance. There is no way, not only the inertia of matter, but also the inertia of human thinking, and most people are unwilling to change.

However, after this incident, can the leaders of Jianchuan Airport take Ye Shengning's suggestion seriously.

However, compared to the airport monitoring system, Ye Shengning is now more concerned about another matter, and that is the case of the second airport.

No matter from which point of view, Jianchuan Airport can no longer meet the operational requirements well.The suggestion about Dianyun, the second airport in Jianchuan, which he learned from Qin Xin before, has been deeply imprinted in Ye Shengning's mind, and he can't get rid of it no matter what.

"After this incident, maybe the people from the airport department will bring up the old matter again. It's really troublesome." Ye Shengning said helplessly.

The selection of the location of Jianchuan Airport is a matter of many factors, and it must not be entirely on Ye Shengning alone.However, Ye Shengning was in charge of the airport site selection team back then, and if something went wrong, no matter what the reason was, Ye Shengning could only bear it, and he couldn't take the blame for it.

However, now Xu Cang wanted to give him another chance.

Originally, Ye Shengning thought he could take his time.However, after this incident, Ye Shengning felt that he didn't have that much time.

If he continued to work slowly, if something happened again, Ye Shengning's reputation would be ruined before the second airport plan was implemented, and the scapegoat would be enough to crush him to death.

Therefore, he felt that he needed to speed up the matter of the second airport.

Ye Shengning pondered for a moment: "Let Yao Binghua come and see me tomorrow."

The secretary was startled: "Boss Ye, what are you doing?"

"Luo Yong and Wang Xuan of Blue Sky Airlines must have one of them go in." Ye Shengning said in a low voice, "I want Xu Cang to accept my affection."

"But, this matter is what you plan to exchange with Xu Cang later."

"I can't wait!" Ye Shengning shouted, "Let's do it."

In a huge hangar at the Southwest Airlines maintenance base in the United States, an old Boeing 737 is being repaired.Most of the plane's body has not changed, only the No. [-] engine on the left has been disassembled, and all the blades have been removed, and they are all placed on the table next to it.

One of the unshaven middle-aged maintenance staff picked up one of the fan blades and looked at it for a long time: "No problem?"

The younger engineer next to him flipped through the maintenance log: "Two months ago, this engine underwent a major overhaul, which included the fluorescence detection of the fan blades, and the results were confirmed to be normal."

The middle-aged maintenance engineer clicked his tongue: "That's strange. Logically speaking, it's only been two months since the overhaul, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Could it be another problem?" The young engineer asked: "The high vibration value of the engine is not necessarily a problem with the fan blades, it may also be something else, and it's still sporadic."

The middle-aged engineer pursed his lips: "I have checked other places, it is the low-pressure fan. However, it has been tested by fluorescence, so there should be no problem."

The middle-aged engineer pondered for a moment: "Well, let's report the situation to the higher-ups and do another fluorescent test."

"Ah?" The young engineer was stunned: "If you want to do a fluorescent test, the coating on the fan blades will be worn off. These will cost a lot of money."

"There's nothing you can do about it." The middle-aged engineer waved his hand: "You can just apply for the second fluorescent test."

"But it's only two months before the overhaul." The young maintenance engineer was a little worried: "What if you don't agree?"

The middle-aged engineer fell silent for a moment. Indeed, according to the usual situation, there should be no problems with the engine that has only been overhauled for two months. It is really time-consuming, laborious and expensive to do another fluorescence test. The upper management may really disagree. of.

"Or, forget it?" the young engineer said suddenly.
