The days pass by day by day.
Since receiving the award, Zhou Hai has not only performed additional aerial refueling training every day, but also immersed himself in high-intensity flight training to further deepen his tacit understanding with the J-10d 'Fire Dragon' and improve his combat effectiveness.
train!
Unbeatable training!
No, even the Pengcheng base with flashing thunder, roaring wind, and death indicators has not stopped flight training.
Everything is just to get closer to the combat environment!
Lay a solid foundation to win the war that may break out in the future!
Two planes took off in stormy weather,
Flying at ultra-low altitude over complex terrain,
Single-plane vs. single-plane close combat air combat in the entire airspace,
Two-aircraft vs. two-aircraft close combat under complex weather conditions,
Flying at ultra-low altitude over complex terrain at night,
Single-plane vs. single-plane close combat air combat in the entire airspace at night,
The dazzling training content every day is carried out in strict accordance with the training outline of scientific planning and computer deduction. It is extremely difficult and never repeated.
This kind of extremely risky training subject is unimaginable for ordinary aviation troops.
Safety first?
No!
Just to win, climb to the top and become the most elite aerial warrior, the nightmare that lingers in the enemy's mind.
Every day's life revolves around only two themes, training and preparation for training. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.
At the beginning of September, the summer heat has passed, and the heat has subsided slightly.
In the early morning, the sky is bright.
The breeze blew gently, disturbing the countless slightly yellowed branches and leaves, and picking up the fine dust remaining in the cracks on the ground.
Base living area, air service stove.
"Captain Zhou, vitamins, here you go."
Zhang Haiyun, the bespectacled Kongqinzao chef and base nutritionist, holds a personal recipe log about Zhou Hai. He is filled with a unique temperament that combines elegance and roughness. He puts the white medicine containing special vitamin tablets into The bottle was placed on the table, his brows furrowed, and he explained carefully:
"Today you are going to perform a flight mission. You should not eat soybeans, garlic, radishes and other foods. You should eat in a moderate amount to avoid excessive excretion. This is a simple meal based on the duration of the mission. There are four servings in total, including energy bars and mints. , chocolate, toast and drinking water, with a total mass of 5 kilograms, which can meet the body’s basic energy needs for this mission and must be carried on board. Also, you need to pay attention to the different effects of different flight environments on the body..."
As the base nutritionist and flight crew chef, Zhang Haiyun has only one theme in life, which is to provide three meals a day for the twelve pilots at the base, and to formulate scientific and reasonable nutritious meals to ensure physical health and safety.
When Zhang Haiyun received the important task assigned by the base and learned the estimated flight duration of 27 hours, he prepared a carefully prepared simple flight meal for Zhou Hai.
During a day and night of ultra-high-intensity flying, the diet must be strictly controlled and the basic needs of the body must be met, and diarrhea must not occur.
Fighters with precious body space do not have toilets. If they have diarrhea, it is tantamount to the end of the flight mission.
Of course, due to confidentiality regulations, Zhang Haiyun only knew the estimated duration of Zhou Hai's flight mission, but not the specific content.
"Okay, okay, Comrade Lao Zhang, I understand."
Zhou Hai, who was immersed in enjoying the food, launched an attack on the small mountain of food, forcing himself to maintain the initial amount of food to supply the body's basic demand for energy, while responding to Zhang Haiyun, nodding repeatedly.
After finishing speaking, he picked up a clean white medical bottle with a production label, took out four vitamin tablets, put them all into his mouth, chewed them briefly, and swallowed them.
After finishing his vitamins, Zhou Hai picked up the silver-white metal rice spoon again and attacked the food.
Today, September 1st.
After ten days of training, Zhou Hai is about to embark on his third top-secret flight mission after his solo flight - an ultra-long-distance non-stop flight around the national airspace.
"Eat slowly, chew food carefully so that it can be better absorbed by the stomach. Mints are for lifting, and chocolate is for after meals. Meals during the flight should be based on energy bars and toast as a supplement. Try to Reduce excretion..." Zhang Haiyun's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the brightly lit air-conditioning stove.
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Hai did not dare to refute Zhang Haiyun's instructions. This extremely responsible and stubborn first-level nutritionist could give Yang Tianming a headache if he tried hard enough.
A few minutes later, Zhou Hai, who was bombarded by Zhang Haiyun's intensive bombardment of nutrition and health information, finished the food in front of him three times, five times, five times, and two times, and had his last meal before ending the mission.
"Let's go, Comrade Lao Zhang."
Afterwards, the whole person put the carefully packed and sealed mission meal set into the flight backpack, picked up the tactical tablet and the sharp eye sight, said goodbye to Zhang Haiyun, left the air service stove of the base, and headed straight to the second station under the slightly gray and hazy sky. No. 1 cave hangar.
Arriving at the hangar, it was exactly 5:50.
Six J-10Ds belonging to different squadrons were parked quietly. The hangar was quite busy. There was no one else. Liu Honglin, who had been on duty all night, and several ground crew members, with bloodshot eyes, were surrounding J-10D No. 012. Expand pre-flight inspection.
"Comrade Zhou Hai, the plane is ready. Everything is normal and in excellent condition. Please check and accept it!" Liu Honglin saw Zhou Hai arriving, picked up the aviation receipt log placed on the surface of the mobile workbench, stepped forward to greet him, and stood up in a military posture. , raised hands in salute.
"Sorry, Captain Liu."
Looking at Liu Honglin who looked tired, Zhou Hai raised his hand in return, expressed his gratitude and whispered.
The eyes turned to the J-10d, which had a smooth and clean surface without a trace of dust. It was in as-new condition and brand new. Two streamlined 800-kilogram medium-capacity auxiliary fuel tanks and two PL-8b infrared point source combat missiles were mounted under the wings. .
Check the aircraft body and cockpit to confirm that they are correct, sign for the paper aviation logbook, and board the plane.
The ground crew drove a small tractor to pull out the aircraft, adjusted it, and accurately placed it in the take-off section. They connected the external power supply and cooperated with Zhou Hai to start the engine.
"Buzz!"
As the engine started, a ground crew signaled permission to slide out. The J-10d No. 012, which had regained consciousness, slid out of the hangar under the watchful eyes of Liu Honglin and others, and followed the prescribed route to the main runway of the base.
Obtain takeoff permission and ground parameters, enter the runway, and accelerate for taxi.
In the dim night before dawn, the azure blue is like a blooming rose, and even more like the scorching sun that emits endless brilliant light in the sky.
On this mission, there was no farewell or warning.
This is because Zhou Hai is already a mature eagle in the sky, although his seemingly appalling flight hours are still in the "rookie" category.
"350,000 kilometers around the country's land and territorial sea boundaries, here I come..." Zhou Hai was in high spirits, keeping the lever in his right hand, staring with his deep eyes at the gorgeous sky above his head where darkness and faint morning light blended together.
