Quiet.
silence.
The atmosphere was almost frozen, and the scene was extremely shocking.
Around the takeoff deck, the ground crew and carrier-based aircraft pilots were completely in a daze, their eyes filled with disbelief. The No. 101 J-15C 'Tiger Shark' successfully landed in the landing area in the most standard landing attitude, covered in blood. A series of injuries above and below give everyone a visual impact that releases their imagination.
Shock.
Incredible.
The drop-shaped glass canopy cracked like a spider web, the incomplete and damaged left vertical fin, the right vertical fin with a large hole exposed and lost its original color under the flames, the left main wing that was obviously hit by an aircraft cannon and suffered shocking injuries, everywhere. The surface of the fuselage is covered with dense micro-scars and sharp and irregular bullet hole areas.
The ground crew who were mainly responsible for aviation maintenance could not imagine how the J-15C flew back. The landing commander on the self-stabilizing platform and the carrier-based aircraft pilots on the aviation bridge corridor were staring intently. Looking at Tiger Shark No. 101, traces of battle could be seen from the injuries on the Tiger Shark's body. However, they could not imagine how to control this fighter plane to return home and accurately land on the ship.
According to common sense, Tiger Shark No. 101 is completely unqualified for flight.
Countless ripples appeared on the sea surface, one ripple after another, and the sun was bright and dazzling. At this moment, the take-off deck of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which was in a state of first-level combat readiness, looked particularly peaceful.
Time seems to stand still.
"Quick, quick, quick! What are you doing standing still? Come on!" After nearly a second, the ground commander in a brown vest suddenly thought of his job and looked at the J-15C that was close at hand, with a look on his face. As soon as he changed, he quickly made urgent urging sounds to the surroundings.
Low level error.
This was a serious mistake by the enemy aircraft. Instead of rescuing people immediately, they stayed there in a daze.
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for other ground crew members around him, he ran towards the center of the landing strip as quickly as possible.
The action of the ground crew leader was like dropping a pebble on a calm lake, causing endless ripples. The ground crew members staying around seemed to wake up from a dream, and they reacted instantly. One by one, the ground crew members seemed to be rushing towards the fighter jet like a tide. Immediately afterwards, a group of shipboard aviation doctors and nurses belonging to the Liaoning appeared at the hatch of the ship island. Wearing white vests and carrying stretchers, they ran at a sprint speed of 100 meters towards No. 101 in the center of the runway in the ship area.
quick!
If the pilot's life is in danger because of them, neither the ground crew nor the ship's aviation doctor will forgive themselves.
"Buzz!" The roar of the turbofan engine continued to weaken and was no longer full of power.
The fuel supply was interrupted, the two WS-10C vector turbofan engines were completely shut down and stopped working, the jagged tail nozzles converged, and the roar unique to the No. 101 J-15C disappeared.
"101, I brought you back, we are going home." In the glass cockpit, Zhou Hai, who had completed the emergency air situation procedures, nodded slightly when he saw the engine parameters and fuel system flow parameters given by the Changbaishan avionics system. , looking at the crowds of people coming around like a tide, the wide aircraft carrier take-off deck, feeling that the aircraft carrier deck gives an extremely solid feeling like land, murmuring softly.
Go home.
For the No. 101 J-15C Tiger Shark, which is a carrier-based aircraft, the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base is not its home. Only the aircraft carrier sailing on the boundless sea is the true 'home' of the carrier-based aircraft.
Dragging its severely injured and mutilated body, it soared through the blue sky and returned home. At this moment, the No. 101 fighter jet successfully landed on the runway and truly returned to its home.
However, compared to its initial energetic appearance, the No. 101 J-15C at this time looked as lifeless as a dying old man. After experiencing this unprecedented battle, coupled with the fact that it had just flown at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, After hitting the runway, the entire No. 101 J-15C reached the end of its life as if it had exhausted its last bit of strength.
The injuries on the wings and vertical tail were only external injuries. The real fatal injuries were internal, in the body beams that had deformed and whose strength had been greatly reduced.
The extreme flight overload of up to 11G and the average flight overload of 9G have caused irreversible and permanent trauma to the entire fighter aircraft. Today's No. 101 J-15C cannot even continue to fight, let alone the most basic takeoff.
In this battle, the No. 101 J-15C can only be said to have suffered a tragic victory because it was already at the end of its life.
The words spread around, but J-15C No. 101 did not make any reply. It had already responded to Zhou Hai through actions.
Holding on until the ship lands, this is the biggest response.
"Turn off the avionics system and open the cockpit cover." Zhou Hai took off the intact sharp-eye sight, took off the onboard oxygen mask, gently exhaled a breath of dirty air, and issued instructions to the Changbaishan avionics system through voice, while untying the Seat belt, disconnect the data connection port between the sharp eye sight and the avionics system.
In the blink of an eye, as the command was issued, the avionics system on the Changbai immediately responded. First, it opened the cracked glass cockpit cover. After the safety self-check, the system automatically shut down.
"Buzz!"
Under everyone's gaze, the cockpit cover slowly opened. Zhou Hai stood up, with one foot on the cockpit frame, his back straight, his face natural and calm, and a touch of color in his eyes, looking at the entire Liaoning. aircraft carrier.
It is vast, spectacular, and full of surging power like a giant beast. This is different from the temperament of the Huasheng ton aircraft carrier. Although it is not comparable to the scale of 100,000 tons, it is still capable of destroying heaven and earth.
This is hull number 16. This is the first aircraft carrier unique to China and the Chinese nation.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Hai standing on the top of the fighter cockpit, the ground crewmen around him suddenly stopped and were stunned. When the extremely anxious ship doctors and nurses saw Zhou Hai, they stopped and mouthed. Opening slightly, the depths of his eyes were filled with incredulity.
There were no expected serious injuries, and there were no imaginable situations. Standing on the top of the fighter cockpit, Zhou Hai was as majestic and tall as a mountain, bathed in sunlight, and his eyes were as bright and deep as the scorching sun.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the Liaoning fell into silence. The landing commander of the self-stabilizing platform, the aviation boss in the main flight control room, as well as the aircraft carrier captain and aviation supreme commander who were watching through the real-time video screen, were silent. Gazing at Zhou Hai who looked like a god of war.
Zhou Hai, who was originally lying on a stretcher, was standing there with one foot on a fighter jet worth hundreds of millions of yuan that had returned from the battle. He remained motionless as the sun shone on his body, woven into a golden battle suit that exuded holy light. The entire scene It is like a beautiful piece of art, full of military and aviation elements.
This is Zhou Hai’s moment,
This is a heroic moment!
People need heroes. Gradually, the ground staff surrounding him looked at Zhou Hai with a look of respect in their eyes.
This is respect for heroes.
Although due to confidentiality regulations, no one present knew what Zhou Hai had gone through, but because Zhou Hai successfully landed the latest J-15C 'Tiger Shark' in service, he can already be called a hero.
Everyone present understood what the injuries on this fighter jet meant.
"This carrier-based aircraft pilot has such a strong aura." In the main flight control room, aviation boss Jiang Xianyun looked at Zhou Hai and whispered to himself.
"Comrade Captain, the boarding ladder has been lowered!" The young ground crew leader who was nearby came to the nose area, lowered the boarding ladder skillfully and skillfully, then retreated to the outside of the nose, straightened his back, and raised his hand in salute to Zhou Hai.
"Plane No. 101 successfully landed on the ship, hello, comrades!" Zhou Hai looked at the crowd gradually surrounding the fighter plane, smiled, then climbed down the boarding ladder, stood on the rough and thick take-off deck surface, raised his hands requite.
