Chapter 576 - Death
First Class.
"Conan," Ayumi asked, a little worried. "What does gravity toss mean?"
"A means of throwing off the landing gear without power," Conan explained. "Probably...... That is, the plane will dive at a large angle, and then suddenly pull up, using the centrifugal force in the process to throw the landing gear out. ”
"Large-angle dive?" Ayumi was surprised. "That's the kind of ...... A sharp dive downward? ”
"yes!" Conan nodded. "So be prepared and don't get scared later."
Just then, the radio turned on again.
"The gravity tossing action is about to begin, please fasten your seat belts immediately, and the flight attendants will sit down immediately, and the countdown will be 10."
"Countdown 5-" At this point, all the crew and passengers have fixed themselves.
"Countdown 4-" Gray Yuan Ai glanced at his seat belt with some unease.
"Countdown 3-" After checking his seat belt and confirming that there was no problem, Gray Yuan suddenly thought of Chiba who was still in the cockpit.
"It should be fine...... "Gray Yuan Wai shrank slightly, with a slightly worried expression on his face.
"Countdown 1-" Gray Yuan Ai made the five fingers of her left hand point on her forehead, chest, right shoulder, and left shoulder - this is a Catholic prayer posture, and Gray Yuan Ai is a Protestant, so she doesn't usually draw a cross, but now she chooses to do it once.
I hope this time, it will be safe and sound. Praying like this, Ashbara's hand against his chest was clenched tightly.
"The dive begins." With such a nagging voice as if he was saying something to eat tonight, Sadaharu Takamori announced the beginning of the plane's maneuver.
The next moment, everyone heard the roar of the engine quiet, and the nose of the machine was also pushed down, and the speed of the depression was gradually increasing, almost in an instant, it had exceeded 15 degrees.
"How many degrees does this guy want to dive?" Conan had already realized that the dive angle seemed to be a bit too large - if the dive angle was still accelerating when the dive angle was more than 15 degrees, what angle did the pilot want the airliner to dive in the end?
……
Cockpit.
"How many degrees do you want to adjust?" Chiba looked at the attitude indicator on the dashboard in surprise.
"45 degrees," Sadaharu Takamori said indifferently. "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the plane dives at 60 degrees, I'm only diving at 45 degrees now just because I think the end of the plane might be broken, so it's just a little bit of a convergence."
With that, Sadaharu Takamori finally started to push the lever forward again, and pushed it to the front at once. "Prepare for positive loads!"
By the time he said this, Sadaharu Takamori had already gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the lock indicator of the nose landing gear.
……
First Class.
The almost frantic sound of engines filled everyone's ears – and even though the plane was now diving at such an angle that all passengers had begun to relieve the pressure on their seat belts by supporting their seats in front of them with their hands, everyone immediately had a look of relief on their faces.
Ayumi already had a pained expression on her face - her hands weren't long enough for her to hold the seat in front of her with her hands, so the seat belt was stuck around her waist. And at this moment, he realized that there seemed to be someone next to him who could be caught, so he reached out to the side and grabbed Conan next to him.
"Ahh After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately realized what was going on, so he immediately grabbed the back of Ayumi's chair and relieved the pressure in this way. And the price of this posture is that Ayumi sends herself into Conan's arms almost without any hindrance, and Conan, who has completely tried his best to grasp the back of the chair, has completely lost his judgment, and the only instinctive reaction left to hold on to the person who crashed into his arms - until the plane finally gradually flattened.
……
Cockpit.
"I think we need to be mentally prepared," Sadaharu Takamori said in a deep voice. "Unbuckle your seatbelts and get ready to take over."
In front of them, the nose gear lights were still not on, but they probably didn't have a chance to try again - the previous dive had already cost them 130 feet (13,000 feet, about 4,000 meters). And the remaining height is already only about 95. Considering that the hydraulic pressure of the aircraft was no longer usable and could only barely ascend on power, it was quite difficult to re-ascend to a position where it could perform a larger gravity toss.
In other words, they had to find a way to complete the landing without the nose landing gear.
……
First Class.
"Whew-" The still groggy bush tree walked back from the direction of the bathroom, holding his forehead. "Masayo, do you have anything to eat? I feel like my stomach is going to cramp......"
"Food?" Masawari Yaguchi immediately rummaged through his bag. "Is chocolate okay?"
"Yes," Mushuri nodded. "Chocolate is fine......
After Yaguchi Masayo rummaged through it a few times, Ferrero, who had a small card of three balls, was taken out, and after tearing off the sealing tape in two clicks, he was handed to Makiri by Yaguchi Masayo. "Here you go."
"Hmm," said Mushu, taking the chocolate, unwrapping it, and throwing it into his mouth. "Ah, it's still nice to have something to eat."
After saying that, Mushuri, who had already changed into a happy expression, sat down in his seat and chewed chocolate deliciously.
"I'm about to be broken by you," Conan grumbled rather dissatisfied. "If you pull a few more seconds, I'm really going to die."
"I'm sorry," Ayumi said, rather confused. "My mind went blank, and by the time I reacted, I had already caught you."
Conan was about to say something, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from the front.
When they looked ahead, they saw that Mushuli had risen from her seat again—her expression was hideous, one hand reaching in front of her, while the other hand was scratching desperately at the part of her chest. "Uh-"
Everyone watched in amazement at what was happening in front of them, and no one knew what was happening, until finally, the back of the shepherd tree suddenly straightened as if it had been electrocuted, and finally the whole person fell straight to the ground.
“!!!” Conan was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Masayo Yaguchi, who had just handed the chocolate to Makiki.
