Only then did Zhou Zhihan feel that the earth was much smaller than the sky.
When the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft climbed from the ground to the air just now, he could not feel the speed of the fighter plane. Even when the speed of the fighter plane reached 160 kilometers, he could hear the sound of the fighter plane's wings tearing through the air, and the sound of the engine. Even with the loud engine sound, he didn't think it was traveling at 160 kilometers. He even felt that, relatively speaking, the fighter plane was not rising as fast as a car traveling at 80 kilometers on the highway.
Now Zhou Zhihan finally understands that when a car drives forward on the highway, there are reference objects: there are roads, lanes, lanes, other vehicles, trees, villages, and even curves on the road.
The fighter jet climbs into the air without any reference, just like a big bird, which cannot feel its own speed. Only when it turns around and dives down, with the earth as a reference, can the big bird feel that its speed is getting faster and faster. .
When the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer landed smoothly and slid forward several hundred meters, Zhou Zhihan followed the instructions in the flight operation manual and practiced ruddering and turning left and right on the ground, just like a car driver learning a small road.
Half an hour later, Zhou Zhihan pulled up the nose of the plane again and climbed into the air.
This time, there was no prompt from the flight operation manual. Zhou Zhihan relied on his memory and his increasingly familiar control of the aircraft to fly into the air independently, and then continued to fly forward parallel in the air using the earth as a reference. , feel the slight bumps when the aircraft is flying in the air, and the subtle changes in the body under the influence of airflow during bumps, and practice how to correct the various changes caused by the airflow in the fighter aircraft.
Flying in parallel with the earth as a reference without looking at the parallelometer and compass on the instrument panel is a compulsory course for pilots. During emergency missions or air combat, it is impossible for pilots to keep their eyes on their instrument panel all the time. Sometimes, Pilots must use the earth as a reference to judge the flight altitude and flight angle of their aircraft. These experiences require flight time to accumulate.
There is another reason. Because the aviation technology at this time was not perfect and solid, the instrument panel on the aircraft would often malfunction in the air pressure. It has become a normal situation for a certain instrument to frequently malfunction. Sometimes the entire instrument panel even fails. If it fails, the pilot can only use the villages, rivers, cities, and buildings on the ground as reference objects to judge his own speed and altitude, as well as the angle of attack of the aircraft.
Four hours later, the fuel gauge of the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer turned on a red light.
The voice of the system rang in my ears: "The host can use 20,000 air combat coins to fill up the fuel tank of this training aircraft. Depending on the host's physical strength, the flight can also end today."
"Is there still such an operation? Air combat coins can be used to refuel in the air?"
"If the host is willing, a machine gun can also be installed on this trainer aircraft."
"Fuck!"
Zhou Zhihan felt that today's flight was almost over and he was very tired now.
He landed the 95c trainer aircraft very skillfully. When Zhou Zhihan went down the ladder to the ground, his legs went weak and he sat on the ground.
He was exhausted from the four-hour flight.
After watching the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer disappear together with the hangar that appeared out of thin air, Zhou Zhihan returned to his guest room in the real world. His whole body seemed to be falling apart, sore, painful and swollen.
The joysticks and rudders on the Tachikawa IK-95C training aircraft do not have power boosters, especially the joystick. When the aircraft dives to a certain height, the joystick must be pulled with full force to level the nose of the aircraft. This requires the pilot to have a strong physique. If there is no strength at this time, the aircraft will fall to the ground and explode.
In the early days of World War II, all fighter jets did not have power boosters for the control sticks and rudders. Every push or pull of the stick, left pressure stick, right pressure stick, left rudder pedal, right rudder pedal, or double rudder pedal required the pilot to work hard to complete it. , which is why pilots are chosen one out of ten thousand.
During World War II, many air combat pilots frequently dived and pulled up during combat, so that in the end they did not have the strength to pull up the dived aircraft, and the aircraft fell to the ground and crashed. There were many such cases, so various countries The Air Force pays special attention to the physical fitness of pilots, which is why Zhou Zhihan was sent to the Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy from the Randolph Air Force Academy to exercise his physical fitness.
At this time, airplanes are much more expensive than pilots.
Only in the middle and late stages of World War II were pilots more expensive than airplanes.
With his previous predecessor's physical strength, it is estimated that after two consecutive pull-ups and dives, he could only watch helplessly as the nose of the aircraft pointed to the earth, helpless.
Zhou Zhihan's underwear was almost soaked. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and lay on the bed wrapped in a bath towel.
comfortable!
It’s still comfortable to lie in bed!
But every time Zhou Zhihan closed his eyes, he felt that his body was still in the cockpit of the airplane, climbing up into the air. Various instruments and tables of the airplane appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but stretch out his feet to pedal the rudder, kicked the air, and hurriedly Opening his eyes, he looked at everything in front of him with a confused look in the room.
It's the same feeling as lying in bed unable to sleep after returning home from a long day's car ride.
I sat up and smoked a cigarette, trying not to let the word airplane come to my mind.
My eyelids gradually became heavy, and I felt like I could fall asleep. I lay down, and as soon as I closed my eyes, various instrument panels suddenly appeared in my mind. Then, I sat in the cockpit of the airplane and dived downwards...
grass!
Zhou Zhihan squatted down again and walked back and forth in the room. However, his hearing was still very good. He could hear the creaking of the bed and what sounded like pain coming from the room next door.
What's even worse is that he doesn't want to let himself hear this sound, but his two damn ears don't listen at all and he picks up the sound.
Zhou Zhihan started to go crazy.
He needs to drink now, whiskey with ice, red wine, beer, any wine will do, as long as it can numb his mind and make him lie down and fall asleep.
I looked at the watch I bought for 12,000 air combat coins. It was around three in the morning. Where could I buy wine at this time?
I wonder if this hotel sells alcohol.
Zhou Zhihan's underwear was soaked with sweat, making it uncomfortable to wear. He simply wrapped a towel around his waist and left the room with his coat on. He didn't need to close the door, as there was nothing to steal.
At the front desk, the old cowboy was half lying on a chair watching a black and white TV. He had a pipe in his mouth and his cowboy hat was pulled down so low that his eyes could not be seen clearly. There was a half-drunk bottle of whiskey in front of him.
It would be nice to have a black and white TV in the room, although the programs shown are so corny.
When you have insomnia, turn on the TV, don't watch it, just listen. Sometimes you can fall asleep slowly. Even if you can't fall asleep, listening to the sound can make you feel less irritable.
It was obviously the first time for the old cowboy to see a guest walk out of the room with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He smoked his pipe a few times and nodded towards Zhou Zhihan.
He is also a person who has seen the world. In his place, even if someone comes out naked, he can handle it.
However, looking at the appearance of this Oriental, he does not look like someone looking for trouble.
The old cowboy bowed his buttocks, raised his right arm, placed his hand naturally on his stomach, held the pipe in his left hand, and the armpit became wider.
"He is indeed an old cowboy. This posture can pull out the gun as quickly as possible."
Zhou Zhihan secretly admired him, but remained calm. He held the bath towel in both hands, as if he was afraid of falling off, in order to dispel the old cowboy's vigilance: "I want to buy a bottle of wine, but I can't sleep. I want to drink, and I want to find a girl to accompany me." I drink."
"fuc...ks..."
The old cowboy cursed secretly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
