The Boeing plane's flight path was slowly heading north.
However, all the electronic instruments in the cockpit "faithfully" told the two pilots that they were flying in the direction of Hua Xia.
"Flight number E7004, copy, copy …"
"Flight number E7004, copy," the pilot responded lazily.
"You are about to enter Hua Xia's airspace. I am the aviation liaison officer who will be contacting you this time …"
He had just finished imitating the electronic emissary of the Japanese ground tower and began imitating Hua Xia's tower. He also repeated the call of the real tower liaison officer from before.
The pilot operated for a while and thought that he had established a connection with Hua Xia's tower. He also broadcasted the news of entering Hua Xia's airspace to the director.
The plane was still in autopilot mode.
The dark night sky blocked their vision. If they had night vision, they would suddenly discover that there were five small aircraft flying around their plane, as well as an astonishingly large "alien" aircraft.
Dian Jing had quietly reduced the speed of the Boeing plane to 800 kilometers per hour, which was the maximum speed of the Nighthawk aircraft.
The Lord's Battleship flew 100 meters below, at a 30-degree angle to the Boeing plane.
A Nighthawk aircraft equipped with a small anti-air radar flew in front. At this time, the radar was turned on and firmly locked onto the Boeing plane.
On the radar screen, the silhouette of the Boeing aircraft, which was originally clearly visible, had disappeared from the fuselage, leaving only two wings.
The image was transmitted to Dian Jing. Dian Jing began to adjust the angle of the Nighthawk aircraft to minimize the reflection of the Boeing plane's radar.
There was often more than one ground-to-air radar, especially in coastal areas. Not only were there civil aviation radars, but there were also military radars that did not mark the location.
Fortunately, Dian Jing could calculate the approximate location of the radar through the exterior of the Lord's Battleship's sound-absorbing steel stealth material and the operating parameters when it was illuminated by electromagnetic waves. She could adjust the flight angle at any time.
Regardless of whether it was satellite signals, radio signals, or radar detection signals.
They were all manifestations of electromagnetic waves. The only difference was frequency and power.
After the sound-absorbing steel was connected to the energy source, it could absorb any electromagnetic waves that shone on its exterior. Dian Jing only needed to use the multiple peak detectors connected to the sound-absorbing steel to determine which angle and direction the electromagnetic waves were the strongest.
Radar signal transmitters were all high-power radio transmission equipment. Most of the anti-air radars in the world operate at frequencies between 5 and 15 gigahertz.
Radio electromagnetic waves and satellite signals were all below 1 gigahertz.
With this data, it would be very easy to locate the approximate location of the radar.
Dian Jing was confident that she could make the Boeing 747 completely invisible.
…
In the face of overwhelming technology, Qizhou Island's anti-air radar was even more powerless than a bat with its ears blocked.
A Suzerain Battleship, five Nighthawks, and a Boeing 747 formed a tight triangle formation and flew over it at an altitude of 9,000 meters.
Half an hour later, the flying formation passed through Vietnamese and Korean territorial waters.
In the cockpit of the Boeing aircraft, the lazy pilot who was lying in the business seat returned to his seat.
According to the flight schedule and time, they would reach Shanghai in 20 minutes, and they would be able to enter the landing procedure.
The pilot put on his headset and yawned, "Flight number E7004 calling tower."
"Tower received, please speak."
"We are about to arrive at Shanghai, please send real-time weather data over the airport."
The Electronic Messenger responded, then tapped on the keyboard and sent a weather data that barely met the landing situation.
"Number E7004, you are expected to enter the landing procedure in 20 minutes, please check the condition of the aircraft now."
"Understood!" The two pilots sat up straight and began to check the data on the electronic instrument.
It was now night time, and the aircraft needed to land at night with a lot of instrument data. In addition, the real-time updated airport weather data showed that the wind speed over Shanghai International Airport was 7 knots. Under this wind speed, if the huge 747 wanted to land, it could only choose the runway that was against the wind.
Shanghai International Airport had four runways. In theory, no matter which direction the wind blew, the aircraft could find a runway that was suitable for its landing.
But it was now night time, and the director and a group of reporters were sitting in the cabin, so the two pilots had to ensure that the aircraft landed very smoothly.
"The altimeter is normal."
"The automatic trim system is normal."
"The light assistance landing system is normal."
"The control system is normal …"
The two pilots asked and answered questions, and after confirming that the aircraft landing system was fine, they reported to the tower liaison that the aircraft was normal and met the landing standards.
The tower liaison officer suddenly shouted in surprise, "Wait a minute!"
"What … what's the matter?" The two pilots were shocked.
"There's an emergency."
Several Electronic Messengers in the Lord's Battleship began to whisper loudly, and some Chinese nouns they did not understand kept popping out of their mouths, creating a noisy atmosphere of communication.
After about ten seconds, the Electronic Messenger in charge of contacting them put on the headset and said urgently, "Just now, a Boeing 737 plane that was about to take off had an abnormal wheel lock failure."
"Now the captain of that plane has executed the engine emergency stop procedure."
"Now runway 2, where you are going to land, has been temporarily closed. The ground crew needs to urgently troubleshoot the failure and drag the plane off the runway."
"You enter the hovering mode first and wait for the ground crew to complete the repair before correcting the route."
As soon as the news came out, the two Boeing 747 pilots immediately cursed.
What was this?
They really wanted to greet the ground crew of Shanghai Airport and the two pilots who were paralyzed on the runway.
The wheel was abnormally locked?
If this ridiculous failure happened to them, they would have to take off their uniforms.
"We're a private plane. You know who's sitting in the cabin. We have priority landing authority." The pilot patted the dashboard and said loudly, "Anyway, you have to find a way to drag the plane off the runway."
The Electronic Messenger shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sorry, this is not a situation I can control. Now the airspace over the airport is saturated. You can just hover at sea."
"I've applied for an airspace at a height of 9,000 meters for you. You can hover for up to 15 minutes."
The two pilots turned off their headsets and started to greet each other again.
It takes at least two minutes for the plane to hover.
Because of emergencies, it sometimes happens that they have to hover over the airport and wait for landing. The airspace there is tight, and the plane can usually only enter two minutes of hovering and waiting. During this process, the attitude of the plane is obviously offset and inertia changes left and right.
Of course, this feeling will make passengers uncomfortable. Commercial airlines do not consider the feelings of passengers. Of course, they can't.
Fortunately, the liaison gave them a fifteen-minute hovering distance.
If the hovering time exceeds twelve minutes, passengers will not be aware of the change in inertia deviation.
The tower was the boss, and the two pilots could only reluctantly enter the hovering mode.
Switch to autopilot, reset the flight route, and then enter autopilot mode again.
The two pilots slightly noticed that the plane began to drift to the left, and then continued to complain.
They didn't know that this course change was the last time Dian Jing adjusted the flight route and began to fly toward the final destination.
At this time, the Boeing 747 was flying along Russian territorial waters.
It was two thousand kilometers away from the final destination, which was called Yamsk.
There was one of the only two ballistic missile test bases left in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In addition, Dian Jing also inquired from several international news websites about rumors that were not guaranteed to be true. It was rumored that the Yamsk missile test base was likely to test the latest ballistic missile.
Two thousand kilometers, two and a half hours of flight.
That was the time it took to circle twelve times.
…
At the end of what they thought was the first circle, the pilot complained and asked the tower what was the situation on runway 2.
"The situation is a bit complicated. The ground crew just checked the wheel and found that it was a system failure that caused the wheel to lock automatically. We may have to contact the technicians at Boeing."
The wheel lock meant that the tractor could not take the plane off the runway and had to be unlocked.
On the second lap, the pilot continued to complain and asked if he could land on the other three runways.
The tower liaison said that the wind over the airport was a little stronger now, and the crosswind had a serious impact. The Boeing 747 was a large plane, and its resistance to crosswind was weaker. At present, only runway 2 was qualified.
On the third and fourth lap, the tower liaison said that Boeing's technicians in Shanghai were on the scene, and they believed that the problem would be solved soon.
The pilot said angrily, "Do you think that our plane has just refueled from the new Qiandao airport, and the remaining fuel on the plane can still fly for three hours? So you deliberately let us circle and wait to land? "
"How could that be, sir?" The Electronic Messenger comforted, "Once the runway is open, I guarantee that you will be the first flight to land."
The fifth lap …
The co-pilot looked out of the porthole in boredom.
It was dark outside the porthole, and occasionally a cluster of lights could be seen floating slowly in the deepest part of the night.
It was a cargo ship sailing at sea.
On the sixth lap, Director Nenambona, who was resting in the first class cabin, asked the flight attendant to ask the pilot why the plane had not landed yet.
After explaining the reason, Director Nenambona was slightly dissatisfied, but he did not continue to say anything.
Just as the pilot was communicating with the ground tower, mixed with thick anger, the co-pilot suddenly said, "I seem to have seen land just now."
"Land?" The pilot turned his head sideways and looked out of the porthole. "I can't see anything."
"I'm not 100% sure, but it really seemed like the lights of a small town flashed by just now."
The pilot, who was already in a bad mood, immediately frowned.
There was no reason to see a village on land.
The plane circled automatically at sea. Even if there was no human operation, the autopilot mode could ensure that the plane circled at the same altitude every time.
The autopilot would only fly more steadily and accurately than the pilot.
But there was no sign of land on the inertial navigation or GPS positioning map.
"In twelve minutes, we will pass over the previous position again, and we will observe together."
The co-pilot nodded.
Twelve minutes passed quickly, and the two pilots looked down with rapt attention.
It was still dark below, and there was no sign of the town lights.
The co-pilot murmured, "Maybe I saw it wrong …"
"You … didn't see it wrong." The pilot was stunned, and he pointed to the end of his field of vision. There, there was a faint orange-yellow light spot.
It was not a light that could be emitted by any giant ship. The pilot with excellent eyesight could accurately determine that the light spot was clearly the light emitted by a city.
At this time, the Boeing 747 plane was moving towards the light spot.
With a fixed point of reference, the two pilots were horrified to realize that the plane was now flying in a straight line!
"Switch to manual immediately." The pilot roared, and then immediately reported to the ground tower. "Tower, tower, please immediately send the radar route map of our plane."
"You … Why do you want the radar route map?" The tower liaison's voice was a little strange.
The pilot roared, "There is a problem with our autopilot mode, the plane is now flying in a straight line."
"No!" The tower liaison's tone was confused. "The radar route map shows that you have been circling."
"In addition, the GPS route map is also normal, could you have made a mistake?"
"That's impossible."
The pilot began to deflect the rudder, but the rudder was offset fifteen degrees to the right, and the plane's direction did not move.
"This …"
