My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1168 - 1076: The Evil Secret Door! Emergency Sea Landing?_2
The country’s costly purchase of advanced fighter jets resulted in a collective failure; they simply could not start their engines, let alone fire control, radar, communication, electronic countermeasures, and so on—all systems were unable to power up. How could they be of any use?
One can imagine how dangerous this would be in wartime, during an engagement with the Star Federation...
What if, after the jets had taken off, the engines suddenly shut down by themselves and the ejection systems failed to start? Would the pilots not be doomed to crash with their aircraft?
Besides, even without deliberate sabotage, there is no guarantee against covert eavesdropping and tracking!
That’s exactly why.
Countries capable of manufacturing their own aircraft use domestically produced planes for their top officials’ private jets.
This is not only to showcase national strength but also to ensure flight safety and confidentiality.
And now.
This large transport aircraft made by the Star Federation oddly started to show increased fuel consumption in all four engines.
With no fault warnings, no manual intervention, what other reason could there be besides someone remotely tampering?
Perhaps.
The silver lining in this misfortune is that the saboteurs didn’t shut down the engines directly.
Nor did they set hidden faults in the flight control system to make this large cargo plane lose control and crash immediately.
Obviously.
The aim was to give Wu Jie and others trouble without being too overt.
Of course, it might also be that they were just testing the waters to see if they could remotely control the engines.
After a successful attempt, they would then move on to further measures.
But regardless...
This large cargo plane was designed and developed by the Star Federation.
With over a million parts and several hundred systems, both large and small.
No one on this aircraft knows whether there are any backdoors, let alone how impactful they could be.
It’s like going to a phone shop with a not-so-good reputation and buying a second-hand phone—who knows if it’s been tampered with?
Someone who knows nothing at a second-hand market—could they tell if the product is from an accident?
And the current problem is...
Though it’s known that the Star Federation is up to no good covertly, there’s no evidence to prove it.
Just an increase in engine thrust and fuel consumption—can that prove the aircraft manufacturer from the Star Federation is remotely causing trouble?
Without evidence, it’s baseless claims.
If you were to call the aircraft manufacturer from the Star Federation now, you’d likely be mocked mercilessly.
"Why can’t you handle the advanced, reliable, and economically viable large civil aircraft?"
"If you don’t understand flying or technology, don’t pretend to know everything and make baseless accusations while using our Star Federation’s planes!"
"Increased engine thrust is surely due to you bunch of technical idiots messing around!"
...
Anyway.
Without irrefutable evidence, any claims would only bring disgrace upon oneself.
So at this moment, not just Tang Xiao but Wu Jie as well wishes to quickly develop a truly domestic, advanced, powerful, and reliable large civil aircraft.
In fact, with the current domestic technological and industrial capabilities, it is not difficult to research and produce large civil aircraft; however, the cost-effectiveness is frustrating.
Even if all the technical specifications look identical, in use, it becomes apparent that the fuel consumption is higher and the performance less stable.
Even with identical specs, to really sell on a large scale, obtaining an airworthiness certificate is a must. Developed countries create all kinds of difficulties and refuse to issue it, making it impossible to sell even if desired.
Furthermore, in the engine system, avionics system, hydraulic system and many other core components, domestically produced goods do indeed fall short.
This results in Liuli Continent, capable of developing military strategic transport aircraft, being unable to produce a large civil passenger aircraft with market competitiveness for a long time.
So much so that the airplanes used for the general public’s travel are monopolized by Airbus and Boeing, including models like the A320, A330, B737, B787, and so on.
Of course.
The people of our nation have long been motivated by a sense of shame and have been striving tirelessly; the domestically produced civil aircraft will eventually catch up with the international first-class standard.
But now...
What should we do?
After disconnecting the autopilot, the caption has tried every possible measure, yet the four engines simply won’t respond.
Disconnected the satellite navigation, radio communications, etc., attempting to halt any covert operation of the aircraft.
Shut down the electronic fuel supply system, restart the engines at high altitude...
A flurry of actions fierce as a tiger, yet the fuel consumption remains the same!
The four engines are still at maximum thrust, with no way to reduce it.
It’s like a car that’s moving.
The driver isn’t pressing the gas pedal, yet the engines are roaring, working at full power.
"It’s no good! At this rate, I’m afraid we won’t even make it to the Yunhai Continent Strait!"
"Moreover, the engines working overtime for too long can easily malfunction and break down!"
"The plane is too heavy; if we shut down some engines, the thrust won’t be enough, and it will cause a stall and crash!"
...
The captain is in a frenzy.
Even though he has excellent professional skills, he’s simply a pilot and doesn’t know how to do repairs.
At this altitude of 10,000 meters, it’s impossible to stop a large cargo plane for maintenance.
If the speed slows down too much, it’s prone to stall and crash.
Moreover, an aircraft is an extremely large and complex industrial integrated system with too many parts of different functions.
Many civil aviation enterprises’ support bases can only do routine maintenance by their professional repair teams.
Real disassembly and overhaul can only be left to the manufacturer-designated entities.
In other words.
The problems that this large cargo plane is currently experiencing are unsolvable.
"Jie, right now they are just making the engines overwork to increase fuel consumption! Who knows, next they might cause the cargo plane to inexplicably jettison fuel, dive suddenly, or the engines to stop and so on!"
"Anyway, if we crash over the Bihu Ocean, with the black box falling into the depths of the sea thousands of meters deep, unreachable, without proof of death, they could just deny responsibility, claiming the crash has nothing to do with the Star Federation, after all, they didn’t send fighter jets to shoot us down!"
"So, I think we should start preparing for a sea ditching now!"
Tang Xiao looked at Wu Jie with a burning gaze.
A sea ditching, no other choice!
The control of this large cargo plane is no longer in the hands of the flight crew.
The lives of everyone on board are being remotely controlled.
And this aerial crisis is one after another.
First, the fighter jets paraded their power and then were refused entry into Bihu Continent’s airspace.
And now it’s even worse.
There’s covert sabotage at play, remotely controlling the cargo plane, consuming fuel at a rapid rate.
At this rate, they won’t be satisfied until both the plane and its passengers are destroyed!
"Sea ditching... alright, go prepare for it, I’ll watch here," said Wu Jie in a calm tone, his expression unruffled.
No panic, no anxiety.
Wu Jie had already clashed with Padding Shayol, had already confronted the Star Federation head on.
Since they don’t dare to take military actions openly, if they don’t play some sneaky tricks in secret, wouldn’t their title of ’world’s number one hooligan’ be in vain?
But with the brother system attached, what’s there to fear from their sly tricks?
It’s only polite to retaliate!
Since they have already made their move, how could Wu Jie not strike back?
Out of courtesy, Wu Jie launched two Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs, which had been kept by the system on his behalf.
Let the Star Federation taste what a dimensionality reduction strike is...
