Three months later.
At the southernmost tip of Coconut Island, there is an air force base.
On the tarmac, the propeller of the huge Z-8 helicopter has begun to rotate slowly. The pilot is already in place, checking various data on the instrument panel.
In the open space not far away, members of the Jiaolong Commando were checking their equipment and parachute bags.
Li Zheng was also in the queue.
Xiao Jun personally came over to check the umbrella for him, and then asked loudly: "Are you nervous!?"
Li Zheng shook his head: "Nonsense!"
Xiao Jun laughed loudly: "This is not parachuting on land, but on the sea!"
Li Zheng said: "Isn't it safer at sea? Besides, this is not my first time skydiving!"
Xiao Jun said: "Compared with skydiving on land, skydiving at sea is more difficult and risky, so don't be careless!"
He pointed to an old third-term noncommissioned officer in front of him who was in charge of inspecting the equipment and said: "Old He has jumped two hundred times. There was a problem when the parachute rope was entangled in the water before, and it almost killed him. life!"
Lao He is the "parachute instructor" in the company and has rich experience.
Li Zheng nodded: "Okay, I will be careful!"
Xiao Jun patted the backup umbrella on his chest, walked away with a smile, and went to check the next one.
Everyone completed the last inspection procedure while talking and laughing. Following Xiao Jun's order, they lined up and walked towards the Z-8 that was ready to take off.
Find your seat in order in the cabin and sit down. At this time, the golden light of the morning sun shines from the east, shines into the cabin through the portholes, and reflects on Fatty Wei's face opposite, full of red light.
Fatty Wei sat there and didn't notice that Li was looking at him. Fatty Wei and Qiang Yong spent the most time together recently.
Qiang Yong really gave his sister’s WeChat account to Fatty Wei, and Fatty Wei was really bold enough to add it. It is said that they had chatted several times and the situation was good.
When people ask Fatty Wei how the conversation went, he always has a rare shy look on his face and an impatient look on his face, saying that he wants you to take care of it.
In other matters, Fatty Wei was definitely a loudmouth, but in this matter, he kept it more secret than the confidential personnel.
"Brother Yong, follow me later. We will end up in the same place. If anything happens, I will lend a hand and cover you!"
Fatty Wei turned on the big mouth mode, and the people next to him laughed.
Fang Chengbo couldn't help but said: "Fat Wei, you are so shameless. When it comes to skydiving times, the top class has more times than you, and the people who protect you are just about the same. You are really shameless."
"Master brings us in, and there is a sequence of enlightenment!" Fatty Wei said, still looking like a tough-talking duck: "I don't dance much, but I dance well!"
Even Li Zheng, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help laughing.
In fact, Fatty Wei was right. This sea skydiving subject is more complicated than land skydiving.
Generally, skydiving on the road only needs to go through ground training and simulator training, and you can get into the blue sky after three swellings and three eliminations, but the basic requirements for skydiving in sea skydiving are also higher.
In addition to the necessary subjects on land, water training subjects have also been added, mainly including professional training in several skills such as breath holding, breaststroke, water floating, distress communication, self-rescue and mutual rescue, etc.
Because the landing is in the water, the equipment of the parachuting personnel must be adjusted according to the needs of the mission, such as wearing a buoyancy suit and carrying a small automatic inflatable lifeboat in the parachute bag. After jumping out of the cabin, open it and land. After entering the water, before the rescue personnel arrived, he could only survive on his own by climbing into the boat and waiting for rescue.
The helicopter quickly climbed several hundred meters into the air. Looking out the porthole, the sea outside was gleaming with phosphorescence. The morning sun illuminated the sea with golden light, which was extremely beautiful.
Ten minutes later, the helicopter approached the designated parachute sea surface.
Li Zheng could already vaguely see the large and small orange lifeboats on the sea, and support personnel were already in place.
The helicopter began to tilt and turn, and a minute later, the red light in the cabin began to flash, and at the same time it sounded a "beep, beep, beep" alarm sound.
The landing area has arrived.
"Everyone, stand up and prepare to parachute!"
Following Xiao Jun's command, everyone stood up, faced the tail of the plane, held the parachute with both hands, and moved slowly towards the cabin door with their bodies bent.
Starting from the first member of the first row, Xiao Jun conducted the final exit inspection one by one.
Finally, the cabin door slowly opened.
The moment it was opened, a huge roar came into the cabin, and at the same time, I felt a force behind me pushing my body towards the cabin door.
One of Jiaolong's parachute instructors stood next to the open hatch, holding on to the upper bulkhead with one hand and motioning to Lao He, who was first in line, to jump out of the hatch.
"Jump!"
Following the instructor's command, Lao He was the first to jump out of the cabin door, followed by Qiang Yong in second place, and then Fatty Wei.
Li Zheng was in the middle and front position. When he was still two people away from the cabin door, Li Zheng could clearly feel a strong suction force.
However, for veterans like Li Zheng, they have long been accustomed to this. If they are new recruits, they will be afraid of this kind of suction and subconsciously step back.
Usually this is when you get your butt kicked by the monitor.
Li Zheng was parachuting because he was already a veteran and no longer jumped with parachutes.
Walking to the cabin door, it was finally Li Zheng's turn. Following the instructor's "jump" command, Li Zheng jumped up and disappeared outside the cabin door in an instant.
The wind was howling in his ears. Li Zheng stabilized his body in a banana shape in the airflow, and then opened the parachute rope...
A few seconds later, Li Zheng's whole body shook violently, and his body immediately sat upright. All the symptoms of weightlessness disappeared, and what followed was unprecedented comfort, comfort, and joy.
This is the best time every skydive.
The earth is under your feet and the scenery is as far as the eye can see.
This is a famous tourist island, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Overlooking all this from the air is even more fascinating.
Li Zheng lowered his head to look for the water entry area, which was marked with buoys and was not difficult to find on the open sea.
"Attention skydivers, attention skydivers, the wind on the sea surface is now southeast, with a wind force of 2 meters..."
A clear broadcast sound came from the sponge, which was the voice of the guide.
Following the sound, Li Zheng finally saw the buoy and the wind bag on the lifeboat.
After determining the landing position, one thing Li Zheng had to do at this time was to pull open the automatic inflatable lifeboat tied behind him.
As long as this thing is pulled open, it will slide off the body and automatically inflate, hanging on the equipment rope about two meters below the feet.
After entering the water, just climb onto the boat and wait for support personnel to pick you up.
However, this training seems a little different from usual training...
Li Zheng pulled it once.
I didn't feel the lifeboat falling.
Pull again...
Huh?
Still no response.
He couldn't help but look down at the parachute rope around his waist.
That's the rope that connects the lifeboat.
When I saw this, I was shocked. The rope was knotted...
This is not a good sign.
If the lifeboat does not open, it is not as simple as deducting points. There is a high chance that the parachute will have problems when it falls in later. After all, the parachute rope is entangled. I don’t know which rope is entangled now. Is it possible? Problems will arise.
Once the paracord becomes entangled and the parachute cannot be opened, something may happen if it falls into the water...
Please vote for me, please vote for me!
