Since participating in the modification training, Zhou Hai has not flown an aircraft into the sky for nearly a month. He has been in a state of modification training and continues to learn knowledge about the field of carrier-based aircraft.
After being away from the sky for a long time, my heart becomes more and more eager.
Zhou Hai was like this, and so were all the participating ship pilots. They looked up at the blue and clear sky, their eyes filled with longing.
The whole sky is like a scroll, exuding its own beauty.
"Okay, get on board, let's return to the aircraft carrier base." At this time, Dai Minmeng's voice came out, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
The first personnel transportation elevator is located in the central area of the base. It is built in the mountain and has extremely high defense capabilities. It leads directly to the first-level core area 450 meters underground and connects to the surface highway channel system.
Outside the main entrance of the elevator, five Warrior military vehicles were parked on the road in front of the carrier-based aircraft modification team, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.
After hearing the words, Zhou Hai withdrew his gaze, his slightly disturbed mentality returned to calm, and followed the team towards the Warriors' convoy.
It’s almost time to fly into the blue sky.
Don't rush this moment.
Be at ease and wait.
The carrier-based aircraft modification team came to the convoy, three people per car, and boarded the vehicle in an orderly manner.
Falcon, homing pigeon and snow goose are in one group, Black-headed Owl, Flying Shark and Seagull are in one group, Bawang, Zhou Hai and Carrot are in one group, and the last group is Licai and the remaining two trainees Hai Fei.
Soon, all participating ships boarded the vehicle. Upon seeing this, Dai Minmeng boarded the last warrior military vehicle.
"Buzz!" The next second, the thick and powerful sound of the diesel engine was heard one after another, spreading to all directions.
The entire team of warriors started moving, smoothly leaving the first personnel elevator platform area and driving along the internal roads of the base at high speed, reaching a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
Outside the window, the street trees on the periphery of the highway flowed backwards, various buildings and facilities gradually disappeared, and the base port and dock area in the distance disappeared.
Take a ride and leave.
In car No. 3, the driver looked ahead intently, held the steering wheel tightly, and steadily controlled the entire military vehicle.
Zhou Hai sat upright by the window on the right, relaxed his limbs, and looked through the glass window, admiring the unique scenery of the base and enjoying the few quiet moments.
The winding roads, the rippling blue sea in the distance, the crescent-like port terminals, the endless buildings, and the underground fortifications of unknown size.
The scenery of Qingcheng Nuclear Submarine Base reveals a sense of the aesthetics of military violence. It seems ordinary, but in fact it is beyond imagination.
Relax and look out.
The entire Qingcheng nuclear submarine base was in sight. Zhou Hai was like the most loyal spectator, watching and appreciating the beauty of this base and soothing his mood.
At the end of this training, Zhou Hai was not tired physically, but he was a little tired mentally. The main reason was that he had been staying in the underground environment, and during the training, communication was strictly prohibited, and he needed to abide by discipline. In addition, he was often in the narrow space of a nuclear submarine, which made him feel a little tired. An irrepressible feeling.
Depressed.
Dull.
This was Zhou Hai's main feeling during the entire training period.
Even though the space in the living area and No. 2 cavern is extremely large, it still cannot eliminate such feelings in the heart.
To be honest, Zhou Hai really admired the submarine troops in the base who worked and trained in the underground area.
Being able to work and train in an underground environment and a nuclear submarine for a long time, and also being able to reasonably adjust one's mental and emotional state, is truly amazing.
Although Zhou Hai could bear this kind of environment, it was still too depressing.
"Zero, after returning this time, will there be an assessment?" At this time, a familiar voice came from beside him. Su Peng stretched his body, relaxed his limbs, and then asked Zhou Hai.
After fifteen days of intense study and staying in the underground environment, Su Peng somewhat forgot about his previous training at the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base.
If I remember correctly, after returning to the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base this time, the first phase of the assessment will usher in.
"Well, yes, according to the modification training process, the first stage of modification training will be assessed soon. When the first stage of assessment is over, we can enter the second stage. The old rule is to go to the simulator." Hearing what Su Peng said After saying this, Zhou Hai looked back, glanced at Su Peng, who looked a little tired, and smiled: "Our first flight is getting closer and closer."
First flight.
The first flight of the modified J-15C Tiger Shark carrier-based aircraft is getting closer and closer.
New carrier-based aircraft modification training consists of five stages in total, including theoretical basis, simulated flight, land simulated takeoff and landing, shipboard takeoff and landing, and comprehensive graduation assessment.
The first stage is theoretical foundation, understanding and familiarizing with the theoretical knowledge of carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing, and solidifying the foundation of flight.
In the second stage, you will go to the flight simulator to meet 48 flight hours and fully master the basic take-off and landing movements and flight movements of the carrier-based aircraft.
In the third stage, simulated take-off and landing on land, piloting the aircraft on a simulated land take-off and landing platform, fully mastering ski jump take-off and electromagnetic catapult take-off technology, and meeting the requirement of 24 hours of flight hours.
The qualification line for ski jump takeoffs is to complete 12 daytime landings and 10 nighttime landings, of which the number of go-arounds against the ship must not exceed two, 10 successful blocked landings during the day, and 8 successful blocked landings at night.
The electromagnetic catapult takeoff qualification line is to complete 14 daytime landings and 12 nighttime landings, of which the number of go-arounds against the ship must not exceed two, 12 successful blocked landings during the day, and 10 successful blocked landings at night.
Go-around is a professional term specific to the field of carrier-based aircraft.
The meaning is simple and clear - during the landing process of the carrier-based aircraft, the flight attitude and position deviated, and the landing could not be successfully blocked on the aircraft carrier flight deck, and the go-around was readjusted.
The naval carrier aviation has extremely strict requirements for the modification training of new carrier-based aircraft, and participating ship pilots are allowed to make a maximum of two go-arounds on the ship.
More than twice will result in failure of the assessment.
The fourth stage is the easy-to-understand take-off and landing stage of the ship. You fly to the designated aircraft carrier to conduct take-off and landing training for aircraft carrier-based aircraft. The training content and assessment standards are the same as those of simulated take-off and landing on land. The number of flight hours must reach more than 150 hours. This is It is a rigid standard.
After completing the previous four stages of training, the carrier-based aircraft modification team will undergo a comprehensive graduation assessment and undergo aircraft carrier flight qualification certification.
Passed the flight qualification certification, obtained carrier-based aircraft leave qualifications and aircraft carrier flight qualifications, and the new carrier-based aircraft modification announced the end of training.
Those who make it all the way to the end will officially become a carrier-based aircraft pilot, transform into a knife-tip dancer, and join the world's aircraft carrier-based aircraft pilot club as a member.
According to incomplete statistics, the total number of carrier-based aircraft pilots in the world does not exceed 2,000, which is extremely rare.
Well, how rare is it?
In 2020, the estimated number of giant pandas, a national first-level protected animal known as a 'living fossil', is only about 2,000 in existence nationwide.
The comparison between the two is about 1:1, and even carrier-based aircraft pilots are worse.
Well, that's basically how precious the number of carrier-based aircraft pilots is.
Now, Zhou Hai and others have completed additional rescue training and are at the end of the first phase. They are just waiting to return to the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base for the basic theoretical assessment.
After passing the basic assessment, you are not far away from getting on the computer.
"It's not easy to fly for the first time. Let's continue to work hard and strive to obtain the aircraft carrier flight qualification certification and become a ship pilot."
When Su Peng heard Zhou Hai's words, he sighed softly, stretched out his hand to rub his somewhat swollen temples, and unknowingly got on the flight simulator. As he was thinking about it, something interesting suddenly occurred to him, and a look of pain appeared on his face. A hint of interest could not help but appear: "When this modification training is over and I go back, I must let Hai Dongqing take a good look at what it means to be an Air Force carrier-based aircraft pilot, hahaha."
The laughter is hearty and happy.
Air Force carrier aircraft pilot.
This title originally proposed by Zhou Hai is indeed a bit weird, full of bad taste and weird meaning from the bottom up.
If the outside world knew about it, it would definitely set off a wave of anger in the military fan circle about military ignorance.
How can an air force pilot become a carrier-based aircraft pilot?
impossible.
Absolutely not.
Saying this word is equivalent to being military-illiterate. You must be military-illiterate.
At this moment, Su Peng's mind was active, and his mind was full of this idea. He was a little curious about Colonel Lin's reaction and facial expression after hearing this title.
It should be fun.
"Roughly the same."
Hearing Su Peng's words, Zhou Hai smiled slightly, with some expectation and curiosity. He turned his eyes to the window, looking at the stretching mountains and blue waves that were going away.
The Warrior convoy, which was advancing along the main road of the base, continued to drive for a few minutes before arriving at the gate of the Qingcheng Nuclear Submarine Base where a checkpoint was set up. It stopped and passed the sentry to check its documents.
After checking the documents and confirming that they were correct, the sentry immediately gave passage instructions.
The entire convoy carrying the carrier-based aircraft modification team smoothly left the base gate, embarked on the return journey, and followed the road they came from.
Leaving the gate means saying goodbye to the Qingcheng Nuclear Submarine Base completely.
Zhou Hai silently looked at the Qingcheng nuclear submarine base behind him, at the war fortress guarding the capital, and at this extremely dangerous military base that was watched by countless enemies.
Here, there are the most incredible underground buildings, and the most terrifying nation-killing nuclear submarine force for the enemy.
In addition, there is someone Zhou Hai never thought of, his uncle, Ge Haiping, who is the supreme commander of this base.
Life is always so interesting.
Farewell, Colonel Zhang Wu.
Farewell, Colonel Lin Anlan.
Farewell, 'Jinling' 093G.
Farewell, Uncle Ge.
Farewell, Qingcheng Nuclear Submarine Base.
Looking forward to our next meeting. ——Looking at the gradually disappearing Qingcheng Nuclear Submarine Base, Zhou Hai’s iconic smile appeared on his face and he thought silently in his heart.
