The huge Airbus A350 passenger plane flew smoothly at the cruising altitude over Huaxia, and after more than two hours, it began to leave the mainland of Huaxia and enter the sea above the sea.

At this time, the flight attendants began to distribute lunch to passengers.

Qantas' first-class meals are very exquisite, and before the meal arrives, the table is full of cutlery such as knives and forks, as well as sea salt and olive oil dipped in bread.

The first-class lunch consists of six courses, and each step is meticulous. It started with apple soup with crispy croutons, followed by a pre-dinner snack of shrimp cocktail, followed by a shepherd's pie and cheese mashed potatoes with minced lamb, followed by a light vegetable salad.

The main course is a more oriental green curry stewed anglerfish with grilled eggplant, jasmine rice and snow peas. The anglerfish is just right, soft and tender, and the fragrant rice has distinct grains, and the taste is quite good.

The final dessert was a warm molasses tar with clotted cream, which was also a very British dessert.

Xia Ruofei liked this dessert very much, and after eating, he asked for two more - the first-class meal supply is relatively sufficient, and under normal circumstances, if it is not enough, you can ask for more.

And, of course, the champagne of Qantas' proudest form of champagne is also available for dinner, the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2000. For the fourth year in a row, it has been named the world's best Champagne in First Class at the CellarsintheSkyAards Awards, with a crisp and fruity finish.

After enjoying a hearty lunch, Feng Jing smiled and said that she had gone on a white diet some time ago - the calories of this meal were too high, especially the dessert at the end, so although the taste was super good, Feng Jing also resisted the urge to ask for another one, and picked up a hot towel to wipe her mouth after eating one.

Seeing Xia Ruofei enjoying three desserts unscrupulously, Feng Jing was envious and jealous, because Xia Ruofei never controlled his diet, but his figure was maintained quite well, and his skin was the envy of many girls......

After lunch, the two sat in their seats and chatted.

At this time, the cockpit is also relaxed, the autopilot has taken over the entire flight, and the pilot only needs to monitor the status of the aircraft, while constantly keeping in touch with the air traffic control along the way, and fine-tuning the route according to the air traffic control instructions.

Below the plane was the endless sea, but it was not visible at this time, because the plane was already flying above the clouds.

Captain Johansson said with a smile as he played with his retro Ray-Ban goggles, "Wilkins! I'm going to retire in three months, and I'm going to buy a farm in the Hunter Valley area and grow some artichokes and cabbage!"

Wilkins smiled and said, "Nice idea! Captain Johansson, you must be looking forward to retirement now, right?"

"Of course!!" Johansson laughed, "I've been flying for most of my life, and it's time to enjoy my leisure, I've bought a piece of land in the Hunter's Valley in advance, and you're welcome to be a guest when the time comes!

"It's a deal!" Wilkins said with a smile, "I'll definitely go when I have time!"

At this time, the cockpit doorbell rang, and John Son glanced at the surveillance screen and said with a smile: "It's Miss Guli!"

Then he pressed the door lock control switch, and after the cockpit door opened, Guli, the purser of the flight, walked in with a smile on his face.

"Two handsome guys, what do you want for lunch?" asked Guli.

"What's there?" Johansson asked rhetorically.

Gu Li thought for a while, smiled and said, "Today's meal is more sufficient, this is a first-class menu, you can choose freely...... By the way, the Honey Tower is more popular, and there isn't much left, but I know it's Wilkins' favorite, so I asked them to keep a piece for you!"

Wilkins smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

Johansson looked at the menu, ordered a few random meals, and handed the menu to Wilkins.

Wilkins also picked out a few of his favorite foods, and of course, his favorite honey tower.

Gu Li quickly wrote it down in the small notebook, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Wilkins has a good appetite today! Please wait a minute, lunch will be ready soon!"

With that, Guli took the menu back and turned around and left the cockpit.

Calm returned to the cockpit, and the two pilots chatted one after the other, and after a few minutes, Wilkins said, "Captain Johnson, I'll go to the bathroom!"

Johansson made an OK gesture and said, "Go! I'll take over the communications!"

"Thanks!" Wilkins said with a smile, then took off his headphones and stood up and left the driver's seat.

Wilkins opened the cockpit door and waved to a male flight attendant in the front cabin at the door, and when the flight attendant walked over, Wilkins smiled and said, "I'll go to the bathroom!

"Okay!" the male flight attendant smiled, then stepped into the cockpit, greeted Captain Johansson, and sat down in the back seat.

Wilkins stepped out of the cockpit, smiled and nodded to the flight attendants working in the galley, and then walked into the restroom in the front cabin.

After a while, Wilkins walked out, took a look at the kitchen, and asked with a smile, "Is this Captain Johnson's lunch?"

"Yes!" the first-class flight attendant nodded.

"If it's all ready, I'll bring it in for him!" Wilkins said with a smile, "I'll bring in my meal in half an hour!"

Under normal circumstances, two pilots do not eat at the same time, on the one hand, there is someone to monitor the flight status and maintain communication with the ground air traffic control, which requires them to concentrate on their work, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent extreme situations, in case there is a problem with the food, at least two people will not get food poisoning at the same time.

The flight attendant smiled and said, "Thank you then, Mr. Wilkins!"

"It's a good effort!" Wilkins smiled as he picked up the plate, "When you bring me food, I'll clean up the captain's work!"

"Understood!" said the flight attendant.

Wilkins walked to the cockpit with his plate, and no one noticed that Wilkins took a small paper bag from his pocket, quickly poured the powder into Johansson's corn chowder, and stirred it a few times.

Wilkins rang the doorbell at the cockpit door, Johansson quickly turned on the door switch, Wilkins walked into the cockpit, patted the male flight attendant on the shoulder, and said, "Man, thank you for your hard work!"

After the male flight attendant left the cockpit, Wilkins casually locked the hatch, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Captain, your lunch has arrived!"

"Oh, thank you so much!" Johansson was unsuspicious—it was normal for the co-pilot to bring in the meal when he returned to the cockpit.

Johansson pulled the small table in front of him out, then turned to take the plate from Wilkins.

Wilkins sat back in the co-pilot's seat, put on headphones and asked, "Mr. Johansson, how's the plane going?"

"Everything is fine!" Johansson said.

"Okay, I'll take over!" Wilkins said with a smile, "and you're ready for a delicious lunch!"

"OK!" John said with a grin, picking up his knife and fork and starting to enjoy his meal, of course, he would put it down from time to time and take a few sips of his favorite corn soup.

Time passes slowly in peace.

In the galley of the front cabin, a beautiful blonde flight attendant looked at the time and said to her companion with a smile: "It's been half an hour, I'm going to deliver food to the handsome Wilkins!"

"Good luck!" her companion said with a giggle.

The blonde flight attendant winked at her companion and said, "Thank you!"

Then she took the plate and walked to the cockpit three times by step.

At the cockpit door, the blonde flight attendant also had one free hand to fix her hair, and then showed the most charming smile she had ever trained, pressed the cockpit doorbell, and then raised her head slightly, and her charming blue eyes looked at the surveillance camera above the door.

There was no sound in the cockpit, and the blonde flight attendant's smile was almost a little stiff, she felt that something was wrong, and rang the doorbell a few more times, but there was no response in the cockpit.

“hat happened?” The blonde flight attendant muttered to herself.

She picked up the intercom at the door and tried to talk to the cockpit, but there was no one in the cockpit.

The melancholy on the blonde flight attendant's face intensified.

Normally, this happens when the cockpit is very busy and there is no time to take care of other things.

But now that the plane is cruising altitude, and the flight is always fairly smooth, without even a small bump, what will the two pilots in the cockpit be busy with?

The blonde female flight attendant didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the kitchen to put down the plate, and then called the purser Gu Li over and reported the strange situation to Gu Li.

Gully was also confused, and she tried to use the intercom to contact the cockpit, but again, nothing happened.

At this time, another flight attendant whispered: "Purser, look!"

Gu Li turned her head to look, only to see that the LCD screen showed that the plane was slowly deviating from the intended course, and the altitude was slowly decreasing.

There are many LCD screens on the Airbus A350 aircraft, and passengers can see the position and altitude of the aircraft in real time, as well as the schematic diagram of the virtual route, and even the real-time picture of the exterior of the aircraft taken by the tail camera.

So as soon as the plane starts to yaw, it will be displayed on the screen.

However, Gu Li did not make too much of a fuss - during the actual flight, the aircraft may be under the command of air traffic control, or after the initiative application is approved, fine-tune the flight path and altitude layer due to the weather ahead, air flow and other factors, which is a normal phenomenon.

Of course, combined with the fact that the cockpit has never been connected, Gu Li inevitably felt a little uneasy in her heart.

As the purser of this flight, Guli did not appear panicked in front of her subordinates and first-class passengers, and she decided to observe for a while.

However, the result of continuing to wait made the uneasiness in Gu Li's heart even stronger - the plane was no longer just a small angle yaw, and now the course of the plane and the intended route have been in the opposite direction, and the altitude has been decreasing, although the decline rate is not very large, but this phenomenon is really abnormal.

Knowing that she couldn't wait any longer, Guli decisively decided to wake up Second Captain Brooke.

She picked up the intercom and connected to the pilot's lounge.

Captain Brooke, who had just fallen asleep, answered in a daze: "Hey?"

"Captain Brooke, I'm Purser Guli. Gu Li said with a solemn face, "The plane seems to be in some condition, I want you to come down and take a look!"

Captain Brooke didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "I'll come down right away!"

Soon, the crew lounge door at the back of the cockpit was opened, and Captain Brooke buttoned the captain's uniform and asked, "What's going on?

Because the first-class passengers were not far away, in order to prevent panic among the passengers, Guli lowered her voice a little and said, "Captain Brooke, the cockpit seems to be out of touch......"

"Lost?" Captain Brooke raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How is this possible?"

"We tried to ring the doorbell and use the in-cabin intercom facilities, but we couldn't get to the cockpit!" Guli said solemnly, "and to make matters worse, the plane had deviated from its intended course and had been going down!"

When Brooke heard this, his face changed slightly, he quickly walked to the LCD screen to take a look, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart - now the plane has yawed for dozens of nautical miles, and the altitude has dropped to about 30,000 feet, and it continues to decline.

Brooke knows very well that their normal cruising altitude is 36,000 feet, and even if they adjust for weather or air currents, they generally won't drop that much.

Captain Brooke personally went to the cockpit door and rang the doorbell, again with no response.

He had realized that something might be wrong with the cockpit, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that the cockpit was not hearing the doorbell or call bell due to a communication problem.

But the problem of yaw and descent is explained at all......

Captain Brooke didn't dare to guess at the worst-case scenario, and while he was breathing heavily, he began to tap his hand on the cockpit door - if it was a communication problem, the pilots in the cockpit should have reacted when they heard the knock on the door, which was Captain Brooke's last hope attempt.

However, there was still a deathly silence, as if all two people in the cockpit were asleep.

Captain Brooke's face changed drastically, and he quickly analyzed the current situation: now the plane is controllable, so the first thing that can be ruled out is the situation where two pilots are disabled at the same time.

Because even the pilot is unconscious, under normal circumstances, the autopilot of the aircraft will continue to fly according to the route and altitude they have entered in advance, at most it will not respond to the adjustment command of the air traffic control, but there will never be such a large yaw and altitude.

Obviously, this is artificial! Only by artificially changing the parameters of the autopilot can the aircraft have such a large yaw.

If it was caused by a mechanical failure, the whole process would not have been so smooth.

What is the situation? Captain Brooke's mind quickly flashed the two air crashes of Malaysia Airlines and Germanwings, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has not yet reached a final conclusion, and the Germanwings plane crash has been confirmed that the co-pilot committed suicide and deliberately operated the plane to hit the ground controllably......

A large amount of sweat beaded on Captain Brooke's head, and his face turned very pale.
