"Can you hold off landing for a bit?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, the young girl couldn't help but let out a surprised cry.
"Huh? Why? What does it mean to hold off landing?"
"No, it's not about not landing at all, it's about flying for a distance before landing."
"What do you mean?"
"It means turning the plane around before landing."
The young girl seemed to have an idea.
"You mean...?"
"Yes, turning disadvantages into advantages..."
...
That guy actually has such high demands. Making me do a U-turn. Although it can turn tailwinds into headwinds smoothly, I don't think it guarantees a safe landing. The required runway distance for landing is still a bit short.
Oh well, let's forget it. There's no turning back now. I can only do my best.
After the plane completed its turn, the young girl seized the opportunity and quickly descended the plane's altitude, simultaneously lowering the landing gear.
As the plane's landing gear made contact with the ground, a violent tremor ran through the aircraft. After the landing gear bounced off the ground twice, it finally stayed on the ground.
Sparks flew from the ground, leaving behind long black marks. The downward impact from the plane's landing caused the calm sea surface to instantly become turbulent, as waves surged one after another, layer by layer, outward.
Fortunately, the transport ship had already moved away from the dock, and it didn't cause any major impact.
At the beginning of the plane's smooth ground taxiing, the young girl also activated the plane's reverse thrust device to further reduce speed by blowing air backward.
In the midst of using every means available, the young girl didn't stay idle. She tightened her grip on the control stick and accurately controlled the direction of the plane's ground taxiing, making the plane follow the originally planned diagonal direction as much as possible, in order to minimize wasted taxiing distance.
At this moment, a leisurely voice came through the headphones again.
"You've done what you need to do. The rest is up to you, genius."
The young girl quickly noticed an anomaly by observing the speed gauge. The speed was decreasing faster than expected.
"It seems that the explosion earlier wasn't just to increase the aircraft's kinetic energy."
"You're right. Besides increasing the kinetic energy, it also conveniently blew off a part of the plane."
"A part?"
"Yes, the two broken engines. Since they're useless, it's a waste of energy to drag them along. It's better to get rid of them and reduce the plane's weight."
But the young girl wasn't easily fooled.
"It's not just for that, right? With the reduced weight of the plane, the inertia during landing will also decrease, which will further enhance the deceleration effect caused by reverse thrust and wind. That's the main reason, isn't it?"
"Haha, caught on, huh?"
The other side let out a somewhat helpless laughter.
"Even if that's the reason, to proactively blow up the plane like that, it's such a dangerous thing. I have to say, it truly lives up to being an evil faction."
The young girl couldn't help but comment with a bit of sarcasm.
"Oh well, you're so blatantly praising me like that, I can't help but be proud."
"...That didn't sound like a compliment, no matter how you look at it just now."
"Well, with that said, my job is done. Whether a miracle can happen, it's up to you, genius!"
With that, the other side hung up.
"Wow, it's incredible how talkative you can be to yourself, you evil party."
The girl could only smile helplessly at this.
Enduring the intense vibrations caused by the plane rapidly decelerating, the girl, tightly gripping the control stick, looked ahead at the sea at the end of the pier, and shouted with all her might:
"We must come to a stop!"
