Brook's nerves were still tense. He stared at the speedometer and saw that the speed of the plane was dropping rapidly under the effect of reverse thrust and braking. When the speed reached 70 knots, Brook shouted, "Xia, reverse the slow car!"
Originally, Brook was worried that the runway was too short, so he was prepared to take a certain risk and turn off the reverse thrust later.
But Xia Ruofei's landing this time, except for a slightly heavier landing, was impeccable. The landing gear touched the ground as soon as it entered the landing zone. It could be said that the utilization of the runway had reached the extreme.
Considering the premise that Xia Ruofei had never flown a plane, this landing could be said to be perfect, or even a miracle.
Seeing the speed of the plane drop rapidly, Brook's heart calmed down a lot. So, according to the program, when the speed was 70 knots, he reminded Xia Ruofei to put the reverse thrust in the slow position to protect the plane's engine.
"Understood!" Xia Ruofei said, and then, according to what Brook had taught him before, he put the reverse thrust in the slow position.
The deceleration effect of the reverse thrust was reduced, and the speed of the plane did not increase significantly. It was still decreasing slowly, and soon it dropped to taxi speed.
This time, Xia Ruofei did not need Brook's reminder, and directly turned off the reverse thrust.
Brook thought for a moment and said, "Xia, are you sure you can drive the plane into the taxiway?"
Saipan Airport only had one runway. If the plane was forced to land on the runway, it would be equivalent to the airport being closed. Now that everything was going so smoothly, Brook naturally wanted to make it more perfect. He wanted the plane to enter the taxiway and not occupy the runway.
Xia Ruofei was bursting with confidence. He said with a smile, "We've descended from such a high place, what's the big deal about entering the taxiway? No problem! "
“OK！” Brook immediately contacted the tower. "Tower, flight QF108 applies to leave the runway from the next exit!"
"Agreed!" The tower said straightforwardly.
The tower controller, who had always been very calm, also had an uncontrollable excitement at this time.
Just now, he had seen very clearly from the tower that the Airbus A350, which had lost its right windshield, had landed steadily on the runway. He could not believe that this was being piloted by a passenger who had never touched a fixed-wing aircraft before.
This controller had once dreamed of flying, but he was eliminated when he was studying aviation theory. Later on, he couldn't bear to leave the aviation field, so he switched to training as a controller. After putting in a lot of effort, he was finally qualified for this extremely stressful job.
Seeing the scene of Xia Ruofei landing the plane, the controller found it hard to suppress his dream of flying.
Later, he really re-signed up for the company's pilot recruitment. In the end, he successfully passed a series of training and became a pilot, obtaining the career of his dreams.
Of course, this was all in the future.
Xia Ruofei naturally didn't know that his actions would affect the life of an ordinary tower controller.
At this time, he was carefully controlling the plane to leave the runway from the next exit and onto the taxiway.
The taxiway parallel to the runway was already filled with fire engines, ambulances, and police cars. All kinds of lights were flashing.
When the plane was taxiing, these special vehicles followed the plane on the taxiway.
When Xia Ruofei steered the plane into the taxiway, a guide car drove in front of the plane. The other cars stopped at the intersection and waited for the plane to enter the taxiway before following it.
The guide car drove the plane to an empty apron, and the staff signaled for the plane to stop.
When the plane steadily stopped on the apron, Xia Ruofei followed Brook's instructions and quickly turned off the engine and the switches.
Until now, Brook still felt like he was in a dream. Now that he was really on the ground, he still couldn't believe that a passenger who had never flown a plane before had landed the plane. Even if he had seen it with his own eyes, he still felt that it was unbelievable.
Xia Ruofei took a long breath and unfastened his seat belt. He turned around and grinned at Feng Jing, saying, "Sister Jing, we're finally on the ground! I was really afraid that I would slip and drop the plane … If that happened, I would be really sorry for you. I was kind enough to let you go to Australia to relax, but I almost hurt you … "
Feng Jing was still teary-eyed. She couldn't tell what she was feeling. She didn't pay attention to the situation outside during the landing process. She kept an awkward posture and stared at Xia Ruofei, so at this moment, her waist was sore and painful.
When the plane vibrated slightly when it touched the ground, she suddenly felt inexplicably moved, and then her tears couldn't stop.
At this time, the plane had been surrounded by all kinds of special vehicles. The flight attendants were organizing the evacuation of the passengers. Everything was busy but orderly.
Feng Jing's eyes were filled with tears. She laughed and said, "You're really stupid and bold! You've never flown a plane before, but you dare to sit on it! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sister Jing is on the plane! I can't sit in my seat and wait for death! I can only bite the bullet and get on! "
Feng Jing's pretty face blushed slightly. Xia Ruofei didn't mean to say anything ambiguous, and even had a hint of a joking tone. However, after experiencing life and death together, Feng Jing's heart seemed to throb even more intensely. Even a casual sentence from Xia Ruofei could make her imagination run wild …
Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing were talking in Chinese. Brook, who was beside them, naturally couldn't understand at all. However, he couldn't help but admire Xia Ruofei's strong psychological quality when he saw that Xia Ruofei was still so relaxed and calm after completing such a feat.
During the gap between the two of them, Brook finally found a chance to interrupt. He said sincerely, "Xia, you've created a great miracle! I think all of this must be God's arrangement. You're an angel sent by Him to save us! "
Brook was a devout Christian. After experiencing all of this, he firmly believed that this was definitely God's arrangement.
If it weren't for Xia Ruofei, they wouldn't have been able to open the cockpit door. Brook, who had received professional training, was very clear that even if they used explosion-proof axes for an hour, the cockpit door wouldn't be damaged much. Wilkins, who was controlling the plane, wouldn't have given them that much time.
However, Xia Ruofei only swung her axe a few times and split open the cockpit door. Then, she used her body to forcefully open the door. If Brook didn't see it with his own eyes and someone else described it to him, he would definitely think that this person was crazy.
What happened next was even more miraculous. Wilkins' death wish came true. He was sucked out of the plane from ten thousand meters above the ground. The captain in charge, Johansson, was poisoned to death. The only pilot, Brook, had both his arms injured. No one could control the plane. Brook thought that this was the end of the world, but he didn't expect there to be a glimmer of hope.
This young man with infinite strength actually mastered the basic controls of the plane very quickly. Then, he unbelievably piloted the giant Airbus A350 to land successfully. The plane was basically undamaged.
If this wasn't God's arrangement, then what else could explain it?
Xia Ruofei laughed and said in English, "Captain Brook, I'm from Huaxia, and I don't believe in Christianity. I think your God may not know me. If this is really God's arrangement, then it should be the gods of Huaxia who sent me here … "
"No, no, no, God is everywhere!" Brook said. "Our piety must have touched God, so He arranged for you to be on this plane!"
In the face of a devout believer, Xia Ruofei felt that it was useless to talk more, so he simply shrugged and stopped refuting Brook's words.
Xia Ruofei saw that Brook's bandaged left arm began to bleed again, so he said, "Captain Brook, let me help you deal with the wound on your arm first!"
"Xia, you're also a doctor?" Brook asked in surprise.
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "I'm not a practicing doctor, but I know some medical skills. I'm a traditional Chinese doctor from Huaxia. If you don't mind, I can help you deal with it first. After all, it's bleeding now!"
Brook didn't really believe in traditional Chinese medicine, but he trusted Xia Ruofei very much. Hearing this, he immediately said without hesitation, "Of course I don't mind! Xia, please help me! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and leaned over from the pilot's seat. He first untied the blood-soaked bandage on Brook's arm, and then gently tore off his left sleeve. Because it was summer in Australia, Brook changed into a short-sleeved flight uniform after the air conditioner started working. Xia Ruofei gently tore off the sleeve.
Brook's arm had been hit by two steel balls. He didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky. In that situation, the steel balls were flying everywhere on the thick windshield. If they hadn't hit his arm but his head, Brook would have been dead by now. But the same arm had been hit by two steel balls, which was really bad luck.
Xia Ruofei stretched out her hand and quickly pointed a few times around Brook's wound. The bleeding wound immediately stopped bleeding. What was even more miraculous was that Brook felt the pain lessen a lot.
In fact, Xia Ruofei could have used his True Qi to force the steel balls out of Brook's arm, but he didn't want to be too shocking. He thought it would be better to leave it to the hospital.
Therefore, after stopping the bleeding and pain through the acupoints, Xia Ruofei asked Feng Jing to find the first-aid kit behind the seat and bandaged Brook again with gauze and bandages.
As a veteran who had received battlefield rescue training, Xia Ruofei was naturally fast and good at bandaging the wound. It didn't take long for him to finish.
Brook said excitedly, "God! In the future, I will never believe in the rumors that traditional Chinese medicine is witchcraft and liars! Xia, your medical skills are amazing … "
Indeed, from the point of view of Western medicine, it was difficult to explain why he could stop the bleeding and pain with just a few points. Because in the theory of Western medicine, the acupoints and meridians didn't exist. The whole theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine was untenable in the eyes of Western medicine.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I can't do much, so I'll leave it to the professional doctors!"
"You are a hundred times better than those professional doctors!" Brook was not stingy with his praise.
"Haha! Then I can consider opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic after I retire! "Xia Ruofei said.
Brook said with certainty, "Then your business will be very good!"
While they were talking, someone walked into the cockpit. When Brook saw the person, he immediately said, "Hey! Alex! I've never wanted to see your annoying old face as much as I do today! "
Alex was a little old man in his early fifties. His gray hair was sparse, and his chubby Qantas uniform was stretched tight. He had a hearty smile on his face.
"Brook! Me too! "Alex said," When I saw you before, I couldn't wait to step on your face! Today, I'm just the opposite. I'm looking forward to seeing you alive. Even when I was young, I didn't look forward to seeing you for the first time … "
The two of them burst out laughing at the same time. Xia Ruofei felt that if Brook wasn't injured and couldn't even lift his hand, the two of them would probably be hugging each other. Just imagining that scene made her feel full of love …
Alex and Brook exchanged a few words, then immediately looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "You must be Mr. Xia! Let me introduce myself. I'm the stationmaster of Qantas Station in Saipan. My name is Alex! On behalf of Qantas Airways, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Xia for his heroic feat! The company's executives are on their way to Saipan, and they will thank you in person! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Alex, I just didn't want to fall into the sea with the plane! Captain Brook helped me a lot. Otherwise, I'm afraid I couldn't face such complicated and sophisticated control equipment alone! "
"Brook will get the medal that belongs to him!" Alex said.
At this time, Brook looked gloomy and asked in a low voice, "Alex, have you seen Captain Johansson?"
The smile on Alex's face froze, and a sad expression appeared on his face. He said, "Brook, I know what you want to ask. The doctor got on the plane immediately and examined Johansson. Unfortunately … He has been dead for a long time … "
Brook closed his eyes sadly and murmured, "Old man … You're going to retire in three months …"
Alex patted Brook on the shoulder and said, "Well, don't think so much! The first thing you have to do now is to go to the hospital to treat your wound. Everyone is looking forward to your return to the blue sky as soon as possible! "
"I know …" Brook whispered.
The passengers had been evacuated. Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing, Brook, and Alex also walked out of the cockpit. Xia Ruofei asked, "What's the arrangement for the passengers?"
Most of the passengers on this flight were from Huaxia. Xia Ruofei was naturally concerned about the situation of his compatriots.
Alex said, "Mr. Xia, don't worry. Our company has already dispatched a plane, and it will land in Saipan soon! If the passengers are willing to continue their journey, they can transfer to our company's flight. If they are not feeling well, they can also choose to stay in Saipan. Our company will take care of their accommodation during this time! Of course, all the passengers will be compensated by our airline! "
Xia Ruofei nodded. He was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
"By the way, can passengers from Huaxia enter Saipan?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Feng Jing smiled and said, "Saipan is an American tourist island. Since November 2009, people from Huaxia can enjoy 45 days of visa-free treatment in Saipan. As long as they have a Huaxia passport, they can enter the country!"
"That's good!" Xia Ruofei said, "I also want to play in Saipan for a few days! But things in Australia are urgent, so … Let's take an Australian plane and continue to fly to Australia! "
"I'll listen to your arrangement. You're the boss!" Feng Jing said with a smile.
At this time, Alex said, "Mr. Xia, the airport police will ask you and the flight crew for some information in a while. The senior management of Qantas will also express their gratitude to you in person, so … You may have to stay in Saipan for a day or two, and can't take a later flight to Australia."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He looked at Feng Jing with a wry smile.
