Chapter 1052: Chapter 1048 Forced Landing
Just as Wu Yi was marveling at the opponent’s strength, another technician shouted loudly!
“We’ve tracked their IP! But the main IP escaped too quickly; we only found out there’s only one main IP!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Wu Yi immediately retorted, “Are you saying our opponent is just one person? Do you think a lone hacker could breach our system’s third layer, forcing us to employ the emergency system, and even the emergency system is almost failing?”
Wu Yi’s questioning was grounded. According to the technician’s statement, there was only one hacker attacking the Southern Aviation Company’s system, which was simply unbelievable!
There’s no way a hacker could have such speed, and at the same time, maintain such consistency and organization. This isn’t something a human could achieve!
“But the fact remains…”
The technician who discovered there was only one main IP on the opposing side hung his head in frustration. He knew his discovery had wounded Wu Yi’s pride, but the reality was undeniable to all.
While everyone was tangled in figuring out how many hackers were attacking the Southern Aviation Company’s network, the emergency system, a trump card of Wu Yi’s team, was nearing its limit!
“Director Wu, the system’s operation speed can no longer keep up with their attack speed!”
“This… this…”
Although knowing something was wrong, Wu Yi, the technical director, was powerless.
The hacker’s attack speed overwhelmed the system, indicating that their keystrokes had surpassed the system’s CPU. This was something out of a science fiction novel!
“I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!”
Wu Yi kept repeating these words; he could no longer give instructions to his technicians.
“Director Wu! Director Wu!”
A technician noticed Wu Yi was acting off, shouting urgently, but his cries failed to wake Wu Yi, who fainted straight away, unconscious.
With the technical director unconscious, the technicians present were unable to prevent the powerful hacker’s invasion…
Soon after, the emergency system’s operations collapsed, and the hackers’ IPs swarmed in, directly invading the fourth layer of the Southern Aviation Company’s system.
This level was already the core area of the aviation company. Once inside the fourth layer, it’s possible to alter critical data, including flight routes, and even issue commands to planes in the sky in the name of the control center!
“Oh no! We’ve lost contact with Flight N3111!”
Upon the hacker’s infiltration into the fourth layer of the Southern Aviation Company, the technicians immediately realized they had lost control over Flight N3111 in the air, unable to determine its position or specific data.
This was a major incident!
At the same time, in the high-altitude skies, the captain of Flight N3111 was piloting his aircraft.
The planes of the Southern Aviation Company were the latest high-tech civil airliners, ensuring a smooth flight with high speed.
Generally, no major issues would occur. After confirming the route, the captain could easily reach the destination with little need for ground communication.
But today’s circumstances seemed a bit unusual…
Soon after the plane reached cruising altitude, the captain received an urgent order from the ground—
“Flight N3111, a severe quality issue has been discovered on the plane. Please make an emergency landing! Please make an emergency landing!”
“What? An emergency landing?”
The captain couldn’t believe his ears. How could a Southern Aviation Company’s plane have quality issues, let alone “severe” ones?
Moreover, the quality issues had already impacted the plane’s normal flight, necessitating an emergency landing…
Therefore, the captain couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat…
As a high-altitude flight captain, he must obey ground orders, so he immediately contacted the ground!
“Received emergency landing order! Where should we land?”
The captain urgently inquired, and “the ground” responded promptly.
“At the top of Phoenix Mountain, 100 kilometers north of the city, at coordinates east longitude 98°52′, north latitude 24°41′!”
“…”
Although it’s an order from the ground, the captain was thoroughly perplexed.
An emergency landing should ideally be on a runway capable of a stable landing; if the plane’s quality issues prevent reaching the nearest airport, it should at least be on a broad road, right?
As a resident of the city, the captain was aware of Phoenix Mountain. There was indeed a barren field on the mountain top, but it was an uneven surface, making it quite a challenge for an emergency landing.
“Order received!”
Nonetheless, even if perplexed by “the ground” commands, the captain still had to follow them absolutely.
So, he immediately changed the plane’s flight direction and flew back!
After all, the plane had already flown for some time and passed Phoenix Mountain. To make an emergency landing, it was necessary to turn around.
The plane’s turn caused a bout of shaking, and the passengers weren’t fools, they naturally noticed something was wrong, so everyone started chatting!
“What’s going on? Did the plane encounter turbulent air? Why is it shaking so violently?”
“Flight attendant, come out and explain quickly!”
“What exactly is going on? Why is no one answering?”
…
The passengers began shouting and clamoring, causing a noisy environment inside the cabin.
To maintain order among the passengers, two flight attendants finally came out from the cockpit, both showing astonished expressions. After all, the order the captain conveyed to them from the ground was too incredible!
One of the flight attendants cleared her throat and loudly said, “Dear passengers, we sincerely apologize. Due to a quality issue, flight N3111 can only opt for an emergency landing. The landing site is the top of Phoenix Mountain. Although it’s not an ideal landing spot, with the captain’s piloting skill, we can land smoothly.
After the emergency landing, we will immediately contact rescue teams. We ask all passengers to remain calm and patiently wait for the landing and rescue!”
Although the flight attendant tried her best to convey this, the passengers wouldn’t accept it.
On the one hand, because of the emergency landing, on the other hand, the landing site was actually in a desolate wilderness…
“Are you kidding? I have important business in Jiangcheng, and you just say we’re landing? Have you considered our feelings?”
“And you’re even going to land on a mountain top, can’t you find a highway? What if the plane crashes?”
“My God! Are you not even providing parachutes? At least give me paper to write a will!”
…
Passengers were arguing loudly, the situation was more severe than before.
The two flight attendants were helpless. Although they tried hard to explain, how could they silence the passengers with just their abilities?
So, the two flight attendants could only turn a blind eye, allowing these passengers to continue cursing…
Of course, no matter how the passengers cursed, it was impossible to stop the fate of flight N3111 making an emergency landing on the top of Phoenix Mountain. After a while, the passengers got tired of cursing and stopped.
“…”
And Tian Yi was among the passengers too.
This time, Tian Yi was required to perform an important mission in Jiangcheng, so he chose South City Airline’s flight to travel.
After all, flying is much faster than using Qinggong to go to Jiangcheng, and it saves a lot of energy.
More importantly, South City Airline is controlled by the Black Hole Clan, and the planes of the airline have incorporated Black Hole Clan technology, so the safety performance is extremely high, allowing passengers to fly with peace of mind.
In Tian Yi’s impression, South City Airline’s flights had never encountered similar emergency landing incidents before. So what’s happening this time?
Tian Yi was puzzled and looked out the window.
The clouds outside were getting thinner, naturally because the plane was descending, after descending a few hundred meters, Tian Yi finally saw the scenery on the ground.
Beneath the plane was Phoenix Mountain, the location for this emergency landing!
With a bout of shaking, flight N3111 finally entered landing mode!
500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters…
The altitude was getting lower and lower, and the plane was getting closer and closer to the top of Phoenix Mountain, finally reaching the landing altitude of 100 meters.
And the captain of flight N3111 was indeed a skilled pilot. Even though the landing site was on a jagged mountaintop, he could smoothly control the plane’s landing.
The captain adjusted the angle, and flight N3111 flew towards the top of Phoenix Mountain!
“Woo woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~~”
With a loud roar, the plane’s tires finally touched the ground on the mountaintop, but due to the uneven ground, flight N3111 shook violently again.
The passengers were shook into upheaval, but fortunately, relying on the captain’s skillful control, he minimized the shaking amplitude.
After a series of shakes, the plane’s speed also slowed down, and the frequency of shaking decreased progressively, gradually simplifying into a steady forward motion.
200 yards, 100 yards, 50 yards, 10 yards…
Flight N3111’s speed decreased more and more, until finally coming to a stable stop. This emergency landing, although rushed and at an awkward location, was completed without any incident thanks to the captain’s skillful piloting.
