Legendary Captain

Chapter 370 Arrogance is incurable!

Compared to large airlines, the operations control center of Letu, a small company, appears quite rudimentary.

At this moment, a staff member responsible for monitoring abnormal aircraft data is looking at the abnormal data prompts that pop up in the monitoring system with considerable confusion.

"Brother Wang, come here, there's a problem here." The staff member stood up and shouted to the security manager on duty.

The security manager approached, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"There's a problem with engine number one on flight 5641." The staff member typed a few times on the keyboard, and various engine data immediately appeared on the computer screen, including N1, N2, EGT, fuel flow, lubricating oil quantity, lubricating oil pressure, vibration value, etc., exactly the same as the up and down DU display that the crew saw on the plane.

This monitoring system was developed by Xingyou Aviation Technology Department, and after being certified by the authorities, it was gradually promoted among major airlines.

This function of monitoring flights in flight is indeed very useful. Whenever there are serious aircraft problems, the company can find out about them immediately.

Before this monitoring system was implemented, in the event of a major incident, airlines essentially had to wait for air traffic control to provide them with firsthand information. Even when the airline's technical department wanted to offer assistance, there was a significant delay, making it extremely inconvenient. Now, with this monitoring system in place, airlines can know about the aircraft's status even earlier than air traffic control.

"Why is the EGT so low?" The safety manager quickly realized the problem with the number one engine. "And why is there such a large difference in thrust between the two engines? Has something happened? Where is 5641 flying?"

"Wait a minute." The staff member quickly checked: "Feifei from Heilongjiang."

"Longjiang? Isn't Longjiang on the southern coast? There's a typhoon hitting there, why wasn't it canceled?" This safety manager had just taken over, and clearly he hadn't approved the flight to Longjiang.

"Brother Wang, it was approved by Flight 1. We consulted with the meteorological department at the time, and there happened to be a fairly ample takeoff and landing window." This staff member seemed to know about Flight 5641's situation: "Giving them a lot of extra fuel shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"This is supposed to be okay? Seriously, Number One..." The security manager was about to complain, but remembering he was just a lowly security manager and couldn't afford to offend the higher-ups, he kept quiet. "Where is the plane now?"

"Based on the timeline, they should be in the Huacheng area."

Safety Manager: "Contact the Huacheng Control Center and ask them to inquire with the crew if there are any problems. Also, send an ACARS message to the crew and have them return the call via satellite."

Because Lotto Airlines is a very small company, they always try to save money wherever possible. Although they purchased a flight monitoring system from Star Travel Airlines, they did not opt ​​for an emergency communication system.

In other words, unlike Xingyou Aviation's Operations Control Center, Letu's Control Center cannot communicate directly with the flight crew with air traffic control permission. It can only relay information through air traffic control as an intermediary.

This efficiency is certainly not high, but Lotto Airlines has no other choice. This optional emergency communication system does allow for direct and unimpeded communication between the airline and the crew, and is extremely efficient. However, the installation and maintenance costs are relatively high, and it also requires maintaining good relationships with various regional control centers, which is quite troublesome.

Of course, these troubles mainly revolve around money; small companies are short of funds, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Actually, the safety manager hasn't been that panicked yet. Since air traffic control hasn't contacted them, it at least indicates the situation hasn't reached the point of declaring an emergency. It's possible that engine number one is just experiencing a minor problem; otherwise, the crew would have no reason not to declare an emergency.

"Also, just in case, could you contact Star Travel's operations control center and see if it's possible to use their system to access the communications of flight 5641?" the safety manager said.

Their Letu doesn't have an emergency communication system, but Xingyou Airlines does. Moreover, as the initiator of this system, Xingyou Airlines maintains good relationships with major control areas across the country. If Xingyou Airlines' operations control center agrees, they can use the Xingyou operations control center as a data intermediary platform to achieve seamless communication between them and the flight crew.

This method is feasible and not difficult to implement. However, doing so smacks of taking advantage of Xingyou for free. When the system was initially selected, the emergency communication system was omitted to save money. Now that something has happened, they want Xingyou to act as a data intermediary platform. Isn't that just taking advantage of them?

"Brother Wang, I doubt Xingyou will agree to this. Why should they agree?" The staff member was too embarrassed to start a fight with Xingyou's operations team over this matter; it was really a bit shameful.

"Well... just give it a try, or just let it go, just ask. If they agree, we'll express our gratitude; if they don't, that's fine too." The security manager was originally going to say that he could give Xingyou Airlines a portion of the usage fee, but then he thought that his behavior would seem a bit like giving a beggar a handout, so he decided not to say it.

In this situation, we can only hope that Xingyou Airlines, considering we're both "neighbors" of Yunnan and Yunnan, might do us a favor. Offering them money would be disrespectful.

It's like asking someone to do something for you on short notice; if you pay too little, it's considered stingy. The key is that Letoo Airlines isn't exactly a large, well-off company. It wouldn't be stingy for them to spend a fortune to get Star Travel Airlines to help them, but Letoo Airlines simply can't afford that.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Asking for help requires payment; paying less is worse than not paying at all, and it all comes down to whether the person has any hometown ties. The safety manager would like to stand up and let Xingyou Aviation Operations Control handle the favor, but he's short of money. He's being generous now, but what if the company doesn't approve it? Does that mean he'll have to pay for it himself?

If the company approved it, why didn't they choose to install an emergency communication system in the first place? Ultimately, it all comes down to money. Without money, you'll always appear less imposing, no matter where you go.

Star Travel Aviation Operations Control Center.

Recently, Xingyou Airlines has been living the high life. Before that, Xingyou Airlines was practically teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. But Lian Shanxue single-handedly revived Xingyou Airlines, and with the strong support of Qingyuan Group, Xingyou Airlines is recovering at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

The company is doing better, and the employees are more motivated to work. Otherwise, living in constant worry about losing their jobs would be unbearable.

The operations control center liaison desk is where this employee usually handles external communications. It's generally a leisurely job, and since it's located in a corner of the operations control center, it's not very noticeable, making it perfect for slacking off during work hours.

Just as the liaison officer was keeping an eye on Lu Xinyu, who was on duty, and playing games on his phone under the table, one of the landlines suddenly rang.

The liaison officer, who was already somewhat flustered, was startled. Lu Xinyu was on duty this time, and if he found out that she was slacking off at work, she would be in serious trouble. Her nerves were on edge the whole time, and the sudden ringing of the phone was really frightening.

Startled, the liaison officer nearly dropped his phone. He breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down slightly, and answered the call.

"Hello, this is the Letu Operations Control Center."

Two minutes later, the liaison officer finally understood what was going on and asked again, "You mean you want us to connect to your flight 5641 and then connect the communications to your operations control center? So you're just making our operations control platform act as a data intermediary?"

"Well, that's roughly the idea." The person in charge of liaison at Letu blushed. Fortunately, it was just a phone call; otherwise, if it had been said face-to-face, the Letu staff would have wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

The liaison officer at Xingyou Aviation's operations control center frowned, wanting to immediately retort to the Letu staff, "Are you dreaming?"

However, since they were representing Letu Airlines, it wasn't appropriate to be so disrespectful. So, I casually replied, "I'll go ask them."

Even though they likely knew the other party was just giving a perfunctory reply, the people from Letu still breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been granted a pardon: "Thank you for your trouble."

Regardless of the outcome, he has already made the call, and whether Star Travel Control agrees or not is no longer his concern.

"Hmm," the Star Travel Airlines contact person replied perfunctorily before hanging up. After hanging up, he couldn't help but mutter, "Trying to get something for nothing? I've never seen anything so shameless."

Just as Letu had predicted, Xingyou Aviation Operations Control Center's first reaction to their request was utter disdain.

Even though Duo thought Letu Operations Control was being delusional, he still had to ask for instructions, even though the liaison officer felt that Lu Xinyu would definitely not agree.

Lu Xinyu is not some kind of benevolent person; the kind of charitable deeds that are commonplace are probably not for him.

"What a nuisance." The liaison officer glanced at his phone with annoyance; it seemed the game couldn't continue. He simply put his phone away, stuffed it in his pocket, and got up to go to Lu Xinyu's desk.

However, just as he got up, the phone rang again.

"What? This is never going to end." The liaison officer answered the phone impatiently. "I already said I'd consulted with my superiors."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end, before a voice came through: "Hello, I'm from the Huacheng Area Control Room."

Not long after, at the operations control center, the liaison officer relayed the request from Letu Aviation's operations control center to Lu Xinyu, leaving Lu Xinyu completely dumbfounded.

"What are the people at Letu thinking? Why should we help them? If this door is opened, airlines that haven't installed emergency communication systems will ask us for help every time something happens. Are we supposed to keep cooperating? No way!" Just as the liaison officer predicted, Lu Xinyu rejected the idea without hesitation: "Tell them that we need to prioritize our own flights and don't have any spare backup systems to help at the moment."

Even if you curse Letu in your heart, you can't say it too bluntly; you have to be a little more tactful.

However, after Lu Xinyu gave the order, the liaison officer did not move.

Lu Xinyu frowned: "What's the problem? Go!"

"Mr. Lu, the Huacheng control room also received a call." The liaison officer said somewhat awkwardly.

"Huacheng Control Center? What happened?" Lu Xinyu tensed up, fearing that something had happened to their flight in the Huacheng area.

"No, no, no, Mr. Lu, you've misunderstood." Seeing Lu Xinyu's anxious expression, the liaison officer knew he'd misunderstood: "It's not about our company. No! It's related to our company too, it's... Xu Xian on that Letu flight."

"Lotoo? Which flight?" Lu Xinyu was taken aback, her mind not quite processing it for a moment.

"It's the flight that just requested communication access from Letu Operations Control," the liaison officer said helplessly.

"Huh?" Lu Xinyu's face darkened. "Did Letu say anything about that flight?"

"The control center at Letu detected a problem with the No. 1 engine of that flight, while the Huacheng control center says that flight 5641 is currently deep in the typhoon and has encountered some trouble. Xu Xian is currently piloting the aircraft." The liaison officer gave a brief overview of the situation.

"A typhoon!? You mean the typhoon that made landfall in the south? Are the people from Letu Airlines really that bold, daring to fly routes over there?" Lu Xinyu genuinely admired Letu Airlines' audacity, daring to fly even in areas affected by typhoons. However, considering Xu Xian was on the plane, it would be normal for something to go wrong; it would be abnormal if nothing happened.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xinyu immediately made a decision: "Tell Letu that we can act as their middleware data provider. We want to get involved too; we have people working on that."

"Should we just say Xu Xian is up there?" the liaison officer asked.

Lu Xinyu nodded: "Xu Xian is already in the cockpit. This can't be kept a secret. Even if we don't say anything, Huacheng Traffic Control will contact Letu soon."

"Understood." Having received Lu Xinyu's instructions, the liaison officer returned to report to Letu, leaving Lu Xinyu deep in thought.

In the cockpit, facing the triple malfunctions of the windshield, engine, and weather radar, even Xu Xian found it extremely difficult.

"Brother Xu, what should we do?" The captain had never seen so many malfunctions at once, especially in the typhoon zone, which made him panic and instinctively seek help from Xu Xian.

Fortunately, after the initial shock, Xu Xian quickly recovered. He immediately disconnected the automatic throttle and pushed the No. 1 engine, which had been slowed down to descend quickly, forward slightly, adding a little throttle.

As a result, due to the uneven thrust on both sides, the aircraft began to turn continuously to the right. In order to correct the aircraft's yaw, Xu Xian stepped on the left rudder and began to adjust the rudder trim. After the trim was completed, Xu Xian was able to release his feet.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?" The captain didn't understand what Xu Xian meant by increasing the throttle of the number one engine. Moreover, because of the increased thrust from the number one engine, the aircraft's descent rate would be affected to prevent the airspeed from continuing to increase, making it less than before. This made the captain worried about whether they could descend to the lowest possible altitude within the prescribed horizontal distance.

Xu Xian wanted to descend to a sufficiently low altitude simply because at low altitudes, there was only rain, and without having to navigate through clouds, the turbulence would be much less. Moreover, at low altitudes, the aircraft's load margin would be much greater, unlike at high altitudes where even slight turbulence could cause the aircraft to switch between stall and overspeed.

When it comes to crossing a typhoon, if you can't pass through from the top, then you can't try to pass through at an even higher altitude; otherwise, you'll just be asking for trouble.

However, because they were at too high an altitude earlier, the distance between the final cloud wall and the typhoon eye boundary was not enough. If they could not maintain a large descent rate, it is hard to say whether they could reach the minimum safe altitude for their flight path when crossing the typhoon eye boundary.

The speed brakes were already engaged; to further increase the descent rate, the landing gear would have to be deployed. However, deploying the landing gear at such a high speed would cause continuous, minute vibrations in the aircraft. Under normal circumstances, this level of vibration wouldn't be a problem, but the right windshield was already somewhat damaged. He didn't want any additional vibrations unless absolutely necessary, lest they crack the windshield.

Although it appears to be only the outermost layer of the windshield that is cracked, no one can guarantee that the middle layer of the windshield may also be cracked, even if it is hidden in the outer crack and not easily noticed.

If the cracks in the middle windshield widen further, they'll only have the last windshield left, which would be too dangerous.

Xu Xian was well aware of the dangers of insufficient descent rate, but the main problem now was the No. 1 engine. He said calmly, "The rain is too heavy. If the No. 1 engine is kept running at low speed, it is more likely to stall. It must maintain a certain amount of thrust to keep the engine core in a sufficient working state."

In order to maintain a high descent rate, the two engines were operating at low thrust, like a small flame teetering on the brink of collapse in the wind and rain. Therefore, Xu Xian had to increase the thrust of engine number one to keep it in a sufficiently strong combustion state, lest it be extinguished by the rain and shut down.

However, Xu Xian couldn't increase the throttle too much, otherwise the plane wouldn't be able to land. He could only ensure that the number one engine operated with relatively low thrust, finding a balance between descending and keeping the number one engine running.

Based on the descent rate, the captain felt they could no longer descend to 4,200 meters within the allotted time and distance, so he asked, "Should we slow down and lower the landing gear?"

Even though the captain was reluctant to lower the landing gear at such a high altitude, after considering all factors, he felt it was more urgent to descend as soon as possible.

Their current speed is too high; they need to slow down by another ten knots to reach the speed required for lowering the landing gear. However, further slowing down would reduce the descent rate again. Of course, all of this is temporary. In the long run, it's all acceptable.

"No need!" Xu Xian was also worried that lowering the landing gear at high altitude would cause the aircraft to shake continuously, and disagreed with the captain's request to lower the landing gear: "After descending a little further, the temperature will rise a bit, and the operating environment will not be so harsh. At that time, I can reduce the thrust of the number one engine to idle. There will be enough time."

At high altitudes, the wind and rain are strong, and the temperature is extremely low, creating a very harsh operating environment for the engine. Under such conditions, slowing the engine to a slack position is extremely dangerous. However, once we descend to a lower altitude and emerge from the clouds, the temperature will rise, making the operating environment much better than at high altitudes. At that point, slowing down the engine should be enough to keep the No. 1 engine running smoothly.

"You can do that?" The captain was quite surprised. Xu Xian really was thinking three steps ahead for every one step he took. He was only thinking about solving the immediate problem, but he didn't expect there to be a workaround. As a captain, he really felt a little ashamed.

"Is the windshield overheating?" Having solved the engine problem, what about the windshield?

Xu Xian raised his hand and turned off the right-side windshield heater. At the same time, he turned around and said to the passenger in the back, "Where are my smoke glasses? Bring them to me."

"Smokeproof goggles?" The passenger was taken aback for a moment, but quickly did so.

"Brother Xu, what do you need these glasses for?" the captain asked, puzzled.

"This oxygen mask doesn't come with goggles. What if the windshield cracks later? Without goggles to protect you, how will you be able to open your eyes in the wind and rain?" Xu Xian took the smoke goggles, opened the packaging, took out the goggles, and placed them on his right, ready to use them at any time.

"Oh, I didn't know that was the case." The captain hadn't thought of that at all, and quickly asked the co-pilot to get him a pair as a backup.

While removing the smoke-proof goggles, the captain couldn't help but marvel at Xu Xian's meticulous attention to detail and flawless execution. Previously, he had been so focused on Xu Xian's incredible handling of various emergency situations that he had been admiring his astonishing actions. He hadn't noticed what Xu Xian actually did in other emergency situations.

But today, flying with Xu Xianyi felt completely different.

Whether it was the emergency landing on the Kunyang River or the ultra-low-altitude leveling maneuver, both were truly stunning. However, compared to those maneuvers, Xu Xian's grasp of the details in handling emergencies far surpasses that of ordinary people. He seems to be able to take care of every single detail, preparing in advance for any possible situation. This attention to detail is something that ordinary pilots should really learn from.

After all, those cool maneuvers sometimes really require talent, and ordinary people might not be able to do them even after a lifetime of hard work. But mastering the details is something that ordinary people can learn.

With a perfect balance of tension and relaxation, Xu Xian is a model pilot, capable of both mastering highly difficult maneuvers and maintaining meticulous cockpit resource management. Apart from being slightly arrogant, he is practically the perfect pilot template.

However, the captain quickly realized something: "Wait a minute! Brother Xu, so you mean the problem is with the windshield?"

Xu Xian rolled his eyes in exasperation: "Of course there's nothing we can do. I'm not a god! If we don't turn off the windshield heater now, it'll definitely explode in a minute. If we turn it off, it might still explode. What do you think we should do?"

The captain couldn't utter a word for a long time. Good heavens, in the end, it all comes down to fate! However, this can't be blamed on Xu Xian; he'd truly reached a point where he had to make a choice.

"Also, try your terrain display. It's not showing up on my end." Xu Xian pointed to the terrain display button on the captain's end.

When he tried to switch back to terrain display mode, he found that the terrain display was no longer working, so he had to check if the captain's system was working.

Xu Xian guessed that the lightning bolt had not only damaged the weather radar, but also affected some of the aircraft's electronic systems.

"Okay!" the captain replied, pressing the terrain display button. However, just like Xu Xian's situation, the terrain display on the captain's side also disappeared.

Xu Xian wasn't sure if the problem was with the terrain database or the GPS signal. He opened the second page of the CDU start page and checked the GPS data on both sides; sure enough, it wasn't displayed.

Could it be that the lightning strike just now damaged the GPS as well?

Before Xu Xian and his team could find a solution, the control center inquired, "5641, why can't I see your GPS signal on the radar?"

"We just encountered lightning, and both GPS systems have failed. My current location is 60 nautical miles from the 320 radial line of Zhangzhou Station." Because of the loss of GPS signal, air traffic control could no longer see the aircraft's position, so they immediately contacted the crew to inquire.

The aircraft is equipped with two GPS systems, and it's extremely rare for both to fail completely. This shows just how dangerous the lightning strike was.

"Received. Please confirm your crossing intentions," the control center said. Since they couldn't monitor the aircraft's position in real time, they needed to know the crew's crossing plan beforehand: where they would cross, the route, the altitude, and so on.

Xu Xian had already planned ahead and said directly, "We will cross the boundary of the typhoon eye area via the V41 route at the minimum safe altitude of 4,200 meters. We will try our best to report our position to you at the next waypoint."

The next waypoint for flight V41 is expected to be on the edge of the typhoon's eye. At that time, no one can predict the aircraft's condition. Therefore, Hsu Hsien-tsai said to try to report the aircraft's position to air traffic control. The implication is that if the aircraft's condition is unstable at that time, they may not have time to report its position.

Based on the radial and distance information provided by Xu Xian, air traffic control quickly located his position and observed that the next waypoint of the V41 route they indicated was precisely at the boundary of the typhoon's eye. They immediately understood the meaning behind Xu Xian's words: "Your priority is to maintain the status quo of your aircraft. There are currently no other aircraft within a 200-nautical-mile radius of you, so don't worry about conflict. Your priority is everything."

Providing position reports is primarily to facilitate interval scheduling by air traffic controllers and prevent air traffic conflicts. However, with only one Letu aircraft within a 200-nautical-mile radius, the importance of position reports is less pronounced. Therefore, the duty officer on the control side wants Xu Xian to prioritize the aircraft's status.

Even if air traffic control didn't say it, Xu Xian certainly knew that. Ensuring the aircraft's status is the pilot's top priority; this is clearly stated in the standard operating manual. Navigation and communication are secondary considerations.

"Also, your home surveillance system detected some problems with engine number one. We'd like you to make a satellite phone call to explain the situation," the duty officer said.

Upon hearing that it was a matter concerning their own operations control, the captain was about to speak up. However, to his surprise, Xu Xian gave a direct answer: "No need. Just tell them that the number one engine has a minor problem and there's nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing that there was indeed a problem with engine number one, the duty officer immediately became nervous: "5641, are you sure there's nothing wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian's face immediately darkened. He pressed the speak button and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Letu 5641, I hope I won't have to repeat the same thing again. Engine number one doesn't have any serious problems right now. If there really is a serious problem, we will notify you as soon as possible!"

During such a heavy workload, Xu Xian hated repeating the same thing over and over again. He had just clearly stated that there was no major problem with the engine, but the control department still asked again, which annoyed him.

Not to mention the duty officer on the other end of the radio, even the captain in the cockpit felt that Xu Xian's words were rather harsh. The captain hesitated for a moment, but still advised, "Brother Xu, air traffic control is just trying to offer assistance; there's no need to say things like that."

However, Xu Xian's gaze remained firm: "There are too many fools in the world. If you don't want to lose your life because of their stupidity, you should deprive them of their autonomy and just obediently complete the tasks assigned to them."

Upon hearing this, the captain and first officer's faces immediately turned incredibly awkward. It was clear that the captain, first officer, and even the radio controller were all idiots in Xu Xian's words. While they might indeed only meet the standard of idiots compared to Xu Xian, hearing it so bluntly was still somewhat unacceptable.

However, the captain wasn't angry. He just sighed and said, "Brother Xu, you should try to trust others. Human strength has its limits, and there will always be times when you need help from others."

"Human strength has its limits?" Xu Xian's lips curled into a slight smile as he slowly turned to the captain, his gaze utterly calm. "What is that feeling? Why have I never experienced it?"

Human strength has its limits, but mine is not!

This was exactly what Xu Xian wanted to express, and his expression seemed so matter-of-fact, as if it were the natural thing in the world. This was an expression of extreme confidence; he seemed to be in complete control.

The captain shook his head helplessly, inwardly sighing, "Arrogance is incurable!"

However, the duty officer on the other end of the radio immediately darkened upon hearing Xu Xian's words. Fortunately, the duty officer was very composed and said nothing.

The controller beside him, however, was indignant: "Sir, what an arrogant person!"

The duty manager raised his hand to interrupt the controller: "It's alright, he just tends to believe in himself, it's not a crime. Go and relay Xu Xian's words to Letu Airlines, they're waiting! Go!"

"Chief." The area controller wanted to say something more, but feeling the chief's gaze, he had no choice but to accept the order and get to work.

After the air traffic controller left, the duty supervisor couldn't help but smile wryly: "I wonder who can really teach him a lesson? Young and impetuous, who can keep an eye on him?"

Just then, the cockpit received a call from the flight attendant: "Captain, I just checked that person's credentials. He's not from civil aviation, it seems to be from the Air Force, something like the Guangdong Air Force."

"Air Force? Guangdong Air Force?" Upon hearing this, Xu Xian immediately signaled to the captain to be quiet and took over from the flight attendant: "Have you confirmed that his documents are valid?"

"Yes, the documents are fine," the flight attendant said.

Xu Xian pondered for a moment, then turned to the co-pilot and said, "Go out in a bit and let that air force guy in."

The passenger in the front seat was caught off guard when Xu Xian suddenly offered to switch him out.

Xu Xian knew his approach might be difficult for people to accept, so he patiently explained, "Captain, you have to understand that in the current situation, his role is actually very limited. We don't need to hide anything. The most dangerous situation right now is a broken windshield. Do you think that in a broken windshield situation, a soldier's physical abilities would allow him to maintain consciousness and provide assistance more effectively?"

If the windshield breaks, it's not really a test of flying skills, it's entirely a test of physical endurance. Who can withstand the conditions at high altitudes the longest.

The co-pilot's role now is nothing more than checking aeronautical charts and other miscellaneous tasks, something any air force personnel could do. However, it's undeniable that military personnel are physically superior. In the extreme event of a windshield shattering, Xu Xian would still prefer to trust an air force pilot.

The captain, being an open-minded person, immediately nodded. In the current environment, the co-pilot's role is indeed limited, but if a highly qualified air force pilot could be brought in, it might even save lives in a critical moment.

Most importantly, the person's documents were verified. In China, you can distrust anyone, but you can always trust the children of soldiers.

"Go ahead and bring that person in." The captain patted the co-pilot on the shoulder.

Actually, if the cockpit windshield were to crack, it would be quite dangerous. This co-pilot is so young; it's better if he gets out of here.

Huang Ying's home in Yunnan Province.

At this moment, although Xu Jingyang and Huang Ying have not yet remarried, they are already living together. They maintain a certain distance, and living together is quite comfortable.

Xu Jingyang scrolled through his phone with obvious envy, sighing repeatedly, "All my friends are already holding their grandchildren, and I'm still nowhere to be seen. It's so frustrating! With my health like this, I hope I don't die before I even get to hold my grandchild."

"What are you talking about?" Huang Ying, watching TV on the sofa, frowned upon hearing Xu Jingyang's words. "You're spouting nonsense all day long. Instead of sighing and complaining here, why don't you go talk to your son? Isn't the grandson's problem his responsibility?"

"Oh dear, your son doesn't know yet, he's got a lot of ideas, our advice is useless." Xu Jingyang put down his phone, his face full of longing: "I've even thought of names for my grandson and granddaughter. My grandson will be named Xu Wenzhao, and my granddaughter will be named Xu Wenjin. Our Xu family should have more of a scholarly atmosphere."

Huang Ying looked at Xu Jingyang, who was lost in his daydreams, with disdain: "Xu Wenzhao? Keep dreaming."

"Yeah, all I can do is dream," Xu Jingyang sighed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xu Jingyang got up and went to open it, but when he opened the door, he found that there was no one outside. Looking down, he saw a file folder on the ground by the door.

"What is this?" Xu Jingyang picked it up curiously, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the file folder.

Inside the document bag was a piece of paper, which Xu Jingyang recognized as belonging to.

"An ultrasound report?" Xu Jingyang looked at the report and couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this a prenatal ultrasound report?"

The list also includes two images that appear to be of infants.

"What the hell?" Xu Jingyang was confused. He didn't know which bored person had left the pregnancy ultrasound report on his doorstep, so he was about to put it back in the file folder and throw it away. But suddenly, he froze because he noticed a familiar name in the name field of the report.

Wen Jingshu!

It seems some readers are saying that those who voted before need to cast three more votes to see it. I originally thought that as long as I cast three monthly votes this month, I could see it. I don't know if I'm mistaken, I'm feeling a bit numb.
