Chapter 212: What is a peerless genius? Knowing everything!
As soon as Xu Cang sat down, he immediately felt that the atmosphere around him was a little strange, especially when the old teacher who was in the lead spoke. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Cang, and he felt like a mountain was pressing down on him.
At this moment, even if Xu Cang was slow-witted, he could sense the hostility in the old teacher's words. But Xu Cang didn't know why these people were targeting him. Wouldn't it be better to just fly a normal flight? Why so many things?
"Yes, instructor! I am Xu Cang, the supervisor of this flight. Please give me your guidance." Xu Cang still had a smile on his face and greeted the team members at the same time.
Xu Cang's attitude was quite humble. He thought it was too much trouble and it would be better to be friendly. It would be best if he could sleep all the way from Yangcheng to Los Angeles. I heard that the crew rest area of the Boeing 777 of Muhua Airlines was quite good, and they could also eat first-class meals. It should be so relaxing.
As a result, when Xu Cang called out, only the person who looked like the chief steward nodded slightly at Xu Cang, while the other crew members had basically no expression on their faces and ignored Xu Cang.
“What a huge rack!”
Xu Cang took a look around and thought that these people from Mu Hua were really difficult to serve.
However, he probably also realized that the majority of people's bad attitude towards him might be influenced by the flight crew, especially the old instructor who was in the lead.
The old teacher had a stern face the whole time, making the people around him also expressionless, which made Xu Cangduan feel extremely uncomfortable. Was it really appropriate for him to be so arrogant?
"I heard that you are not from our Muhua. Where are you from?" the old teacher suddenly asked.
Xu Cang felt uncomfortable, but seeing that the instructor was old, he still had to show some respect to the elders, so he still said calmly: "Teacher, I am indeed not from Muhua, I am from Spring Airlines, and I was just temporarily brought here."
"Spring Airlines? How come I've never heard of it? Where is this small company from?"
The old instructor's words made some of the flight crew and cabin crew smile in contempt. There was no way, in comparison with other airlines, the people of Muhua Airlines had a natural sense of superiority, not to mention Spring Airlines, which was unheard of, and no one knew where it came from.
Xu Cang didn't care: "It's indeed a small company. We are in Erhai Lake, a small place. It's normal that the teacher hasn't heard of it. Teacher, how about we continue the meeting? There's really nothing much to say about my situation."
The old instructor snorted, "No matter how well we fly, in the end we still have to listen to a line inspector who doesn't even have the qualifications to fly a 777. How can we start?"
Another captain interrupted, "Young man, we don't quite understand why the higher-ups want you to be the route monitor. We also understand that many things are not as simple as we imagine, but flying is different. After all, flying is a technical job. If an amateur guides an expert, something bad will happen, especially when something special happens."
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was planted by some leader to share the credit. There was no way, the Yangcheng-Los Angeles route was of great significance to Muhua Airlines, and it would be recorded in the annals of Muhua Airlines. Who wouldn't want to have a piece of the pie?
"You can monitor the route, or get something else if you want, but please promise us that you will not interfere with our handling of special situations, okay?" The captain made it clear.
The captain was relatively straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. What he meant was that he didn't care what Xu Cang did, and it didn't matter whether he got credit or not, as long as Xu Cang didn't actually participate in the operation of the aircraft, then they could accept it.
In a company like Muhua, sharing the cake is something that must be learned. With their status, they cannot stop the people above from sharing the cake, so the flight crew has to settle for the second best, just hoping that Xu Cang will not give chaotic commands.
Because the old instructor had conveyed the meaning of the company's top management, that is, in the event of an accident, the final decision on the plane lies with the line supervisor. This was quite difficult for the flight crew to accept, especially when they learned that the young line supervisor did not even have the qualifications to fly a 777, and they almost cursed on the spot.
The captain's words have already made it clear, it just depends on whether Xu Cang can accept it.
Xu Cang was willing to do nothing on the plane, sleep a lot, eat steak, drink red wine, etc. But Si Weimin didn't ask him to do these things, he had to contribute. Otherwise, his help on the route, in modifying the simulator, and in using the simulator center would be a mirage.
Even for these conditions, Xu Cang cannot work without putting in effort.
"If nothing goes wrong with the plane, then it would be great if you treat me as transparent..." Xu Cang's expression suddenly turned cold when he said this: "But, as long as something happens on the plane, everyone on the plane has to listen to me."
The old instructor's eyes suddenly widened: "Young man, do you not understand what we are saying? You think we are targeting you? No, we are protecting you! An airplane is not something else. If something happens, everyone on the plane, including you, will be unable to escape. You don't even have the qualifications to operate a Boeing 777. You know nothing about airplanes. How can you ensure the safety of the plane?"
Xu Cang clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped it lightly on the table: "Then I guess you all know a lot about Boeing 777? In that case, I'd like to know what the Boeing 777's information management system is divided into?"
The flight crew members who had been smiling a moment ago all had solemn expressions, and some of the co-pilots even looked thoughtful.
“This should be very basic, right?”
The captain snorted. "Master display system, central maintenance computer system, aircraft status monitoring system, flight data recorder system, data communication relationship system, flight management computer system, thrust management computer. You learned some theoretical stuff and you're showing off here? Since you like to show off so much, where is the installation location of the AIMS system?"
The faces of the remaining co-pilots suddenly changed. They could probably name a few of the subsystems of the information management system mentioned earlier, but when it came to the installation location of the AIMS system, they had no idea at all.
Seeing that Xu Cang did not answer immediately, the captain sneered: "I told you that you just ask people questions when you see something from anywhere. You can only ask questions but not answer them. This is the kind of person I'm talking about."
However, Xu Cang just smiled slightly and tilted his head: "It's in the two long boxes on the left and right of the electronic compartment, right? Each box can hold eleven modules, four input/output modules and four core processing modules."
"Aren't there eight modules?" A co-pilot was puzzled. "Didn't they say there were eleven modules? There are still three. Did they say it wrong?"
"Shut up! There are three more for function expansion. If you don't know, just shut up and don't embarrass yourself." The captain scolded.
The head old instructor's face became colder. He certainly didn't think that the route supervisor sent by the company's top management was a complete idiot. However, it seemed to be more powerful than he expected. The theoretical knowledge involved in just one subsystem was already quite deep, which was completely unlike the knowledge reserve of someone who did not have the qualifications to operate a 777.
You know, the captain who just talked to Xu Cang is Muhua Airlines' first Boeing 777 theory instructor. Since the Boeing 777 is the latest model, Muhua Airlines selected the company's three best part-time captains in the flight department to study theory at Boeing headquarters, and then returned to Muhua Airlines to teach other pilots theoretical knowledge.
It can be said that the captain is one of the three best in Muhua Airlines Boeing 777 theory. But it seems that he will not be able to get any good results in a confrontation with Xu Cang.
There are only two things that pilots need : theoretical knowledge and practical skills. We can't see the practical skills for now, but Xu Cang seems to have some basic knowledge in theoretical knowledge.
The captain lowered his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that you have prepared a lot to kill our prestige."
Xu Cang laughed and raised a finger: "First, what I just said are just some superficial theories. Second, it's just a pre-flight meeting, there's no need to make it so tense. You are the ones who are in control of the current situation. Third, with your level, do you need me to make special preparations?"
When he said the last sentence, the captain's face changed. "What a big tone! Shallow theory, what is a shallow theory? You are such a crazy boy, you like to talk about information management system, right? Then I will accompany you to the end! I want to see how much you are worth!"
Being despised in the field where he is best is tantamount to being slapped in the face. How could the captain tolerate this?
The captain stood up and pointed at Xu Cang: "I admit that you are not completely ignorant of the Boeing 777, but I have a wide range of knowledge on the theory of the model. How can you be so arrogant? Even the engineers of the 777 don't have such a tone as you, right?"
However, Xu Cang raised his right hand and tapped his temple with his index finger: "Everything about 777 is in there. Ask whatever you want. If there's something I don't know, I'll leave immediately and won't get in the way. But you only have twenty minutes. If you don't stump me within twenty minutes, you'll be the ones to leave. Stupidity is acceptable, but being stupid without knowing it is unacceptable to me."
So crazy, too crazy, it's simply too crazy!
Asking random questions for twenty minutes can no longer be described as arrogance, but rather outright contempt.
The rest of the crew members actually couldn't understand the discussions between Xu Cang and the captain regarding aircraft model theory, but the madness that Xu Cang revealed, which was like "nothing in the world matters to me", had filled the surroundings and almost made it difficult for them to breathe, and the atmosphere in the field was extremely tense.
“Okay, okay!” The captain almost fainted from anger: “Young people nowadays are really lawless!”
Xu Cang's eyelids drooped slightly: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you..."
As he said that, he pulled up the timer on his phone, pressed the start button, threw it in the middle of the table, and leaned back on the back of his chair: "Let's start!"
"Xu Cang!" the captain suddenly shouted. This guy's behavior showed that he didn't take him seriously at all.
The loud shout frightened all the girls in the crew so much that they trembled all over. Some of them were so silent that they didn't even dare to breathe.
However, the old teacher who was in charge snorted coldly: "Chao Ning, you should get down to business."
The captain named Chao Ning took a deep breath after hearing what the old instructor said and said coldly, "Okay, I'll see if there really is someone who knows everything. Since you started with the AIMS system, let's go deeper. How many types of CPM are there?"
This shows that the captain named Chao Ning is quite capable. He is just asking questions along the information management system. CPM is the core processing module that Xu Cang just mentioned.
As soon as this question came out, the co-pilots all closed their lips tightly. Wow, a battle between gods has begun!
However, Xu Cang said it almost at the moment Chao Ning finished speaking: "Communication, graphic generator, and..."
"Anything else?" Chao Ning urged.
Xu Cang laughed, his eyes slanted slightly, and glanced at Chao Ning: "It's a very insidious question!"
Chao Ning was startled, and his heart tightened immediately. He thought to himself that this was not good, and he had been seen through. However, he snorted coldly on the surface: "Stop wasting time here."
Xu Cang raised his chin: "There is also an aircraft status monitoring function limited to the left chassis and a basic model limited to the right chassis."
Chao Ning's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth: "What are the communication functions?"
"Data conversion gateway function, central maintenance calculation, data communication management, cockpit communication, quick access recorder, digital flight data acquisition." At the end, Xu Cang added: "Questions like the ones you ask are just wasting the little time you have left."
"Impossible!" Chao Ning was already a little panicked: "What CCAs are included in the CPM Basic model?"
CCA stands for circuit installation card, which involves a very high level. The co-pilot was confused and even the old instructor frowned.
But Xu Cang just smiled disdainfully: "Power supply CCA, motherboard interface/power supply monitoring CCA, processor CCA, instruction memory CCA and data memory CCA. Let me tell you all at once, CPM/ACMF has a sixth CCA, the ACMF memory CCA, a total of 6M bytes, including static random access memory, storage reports and variables. The sixth CCA of CPM/GG is the pattern generator CCA, CPM/Comm has two more CCAs, the multi-function CCA and the optical fiber CCA, the multi-function CCA..."
"Okay, okay, that's enough!" At the end, the captain raised his hand to stop Xu Cang from speaking.
Xu Cang smiled and said, "If necessary, I can tell you everything about IOM as well."
IOM, or input/output module, is one of the eleven types of modules alongside the core processor module.
Chao Ning stared at Xu Cang intently: "Impossible, these contents cannot be found in the manual at all, how do you know?"
"I feel that this should not fall into the category of questions about model theory, so I have no obligation to answer this question." Xu Cang smiled and said, "You still have some time, keep asking. What if you stump me?"
At this moment, Chao Ning was already in a state of confusion, so he had no choice but to look at the old teacher. The old teacher drooped his eyelids, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked: "What is the most common cause of PDOS system failure?"
As soon as these words were spoken, even Chao Ning's expression changed drastically and he looked hesitant. It was obvious that even Chao Ning was stumped by this question.
The older the man, the more experienced he was. With just one sentence, he was able to counteract Chao Ning's previous series of attacks.
And those co-pilots with lower seats had never even heard of the PDOS system.
The smile on Xu Cang's face gradually faded, and when the old teacher saw this change in expression, he just said indifferently: "Okay, you can go out."
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and thought for a while, but finally stood up slowly.
Seeing this, Chao Ning was shocked. He didn't expect the old teacher to be so extraordinary that even Xu Cang couldn't answer.
PDOS system. Chao Ning racked his brains but couldn't find out the meaning of this term. He also felt that those old teachers were not as unreliable as he thought.
In the eyes of many young teachers, those old teachers rely on their hands-on skills, have a terrible grasp of theoretical knowledge, and do not like to learn, so they are often dissatisfied.
However, the skill displayed by the old teacher was truly astonishing, he had never even heard of it before.
Xu Cang had just stood up when the old teacher lowered his head and added coldly, "Young man, you were the one who proposed this competition. If you lose, it's because you are not as skilled as others, so you can't blame others."
In the final analysis, the old teacher was still wary of Xu Cang's identity, after all, Xu Cang was hired by the company's top management. The old teacher's meaning was very simple, asking Xu Cang not to gossip in front of the company's top management.
Xu Cang took a deep breath, did not answer, but slowly walked towards the door of the meeting room.
In the slightly silent conference room, Xu Cang's footsteps sounded so harsh, and Xu Cang's back was full of dejection and failure, so much so that when Xu Cang approached the door of the conference room, a very obvious laugh suddenly rang out in the room.
Chao Ning frowned and looked at the source of the laughter, which was the co-pilot sitting next to him. Although this co-pilot still had three stripes, he had actually obtained an airline transport license, which was considered half a captain.
The co-pilot noticed that Chao Ning was looking at him, and just raised the corner of his mouth: "You are asking for trouble, aren't you? He was the one who proposed this competition, and his tone at that time was so arrogant. How arrogant he was then, how embarrassed he is now..."
As soon as these words came out, some other crew members also smiled knowingly. Indeed, the arrogant attitude shown by Xu Cang before formed a sharp contrast with the way he left at this moment.
The old teacher in the lead smiled for the first time, with a mocking look on his face that was barely concealed. He slowly picked up the paper cup in front of him and leisurely tried to wet his mouth with it.
However, just as he was holding the paper cup in the air, he saw Xu Cang's figure paused at the door of the conference room.
Xu Cang was seen leaning to one side, his eyes indifferent, his handsome face full of sarcasm. Finally, Xu Cang's calm and indifferent voice was heard in the room: "I remember we were discussing the Boeing 777. The PDOS system... isn't that... for the GE90?"
As soon as Xu Cang finished speaking, the old teacher, who had been calm and composed a moment ago, suddenly changed expression and the paper cup held in the air seemed to be frozen.
Xu Cang slowly turned around and faced the old instructor and those who had just laughed at him: "Although the 777 uses the GE90, it doesn't seem appropriate to attribute the GE90's problems to the 777. Moreover, even if there is a fault in the PDOS system, it does not affect the dispatch. In other words, this is not a flight problem, but something that the maintenance staff should consider."
Hearing this, Captain Chao Ning looked at the old instructor in disbelief: "Teacher...Teacher!?"
It is somewhat inappropriate to treat a GE90 problem as a Boeing 777 problem, not to mention that this problem should be considered by the maintenance staff.
The old instructor's face was uncertain, but before he could say anything, Xu Cang had already stepped forward and said, "Is this really okay? Or do you think that face is more important than a pilot's integrity? Haha, face? If I could answer this question, you would be very distressed, right?"
The old teacher suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Cang, as if questioning the truthfulness of what Xu Cang said. In the end, he still didn't believe that Xu Cang could answer it.
At this moment, Chao Ning raised his hand: "Xu Cang, this question is over, you don't have to answer."
"No problem!" Xu Cang took another step forward, his aura covering the entire place. "There are many things I don't know, but I still have a strength that is not worth mentioning, and that is flying . No one, no one can challenge me in flying. PDOS, engine skin opening system. The cause of this system failure is a control switch or related circuit failure, pump/power component failure, actuator failure, or oil leakage from the pipe joint. As for the most common failure, instructor! It's... the first one, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the old teacher's heart trembled, and his right hand raised in the air unconsciously exerted force, directly deforming the paper cup in his palm. The tea in it spilled and splashed all over half of the table.
Xu Cang's expression was unusually cold, his chin slightly raised: "Okay, now you...get out."
