Episode 15 recap: The flight test team overcame their psychological barriers.
President Zhou and President Liang expressed their approval of the B40B experimental plan proposed by the flight test team, but Zhang Tian Yi felt these were just theoretical matters and suggested extensive simulation training before actual operations. Yī Zhèngbāng agreed, stating that they should listen to the expert team's opinions on the order of the test flights. Subsequently, Yu Tao became the first test pilot, which greatly displeased Xie Zhen Yu, who was also annoyed that Xia Chu was always watching him.
Xia Chu told Xie Zhen Yu that they treated every test pilot equally and would not focus excessively on him for personal reasons. At this time, Qian Mu called to scold Xia Chu for not answering the phone, as Qian Cheng had been hospitalized. During the subsequent test flights, everyone seemed to see a wall in front of them, which was clearly the psychological obstacle they needed to overcome.
This "wall" incident was unacceptable to the team. Yu Tao reported the situation to Qin Da Di, and they believed that all the illusions encountered during the flights were likely caused by real external stimuli. Yu Tao wanted to personally resolve this "wall" issue, and after much consideration, Qin Da Di agreed to his request.
Xie Zhen Yu and Qin Da Di tried flying in the base's simulation room but never saw the "wall", so no matter how many times they tried, they did not experience the psychological tension-induced illusion. When they returned to the test site, they found that Yu Tao's test results remained unchanged.
Just as the teammates were about to ask Yu Tao to stop the test flight, he tried one more time. After looking up at the sky for a few seconds, he started the plane and completely overcame the psychological barrier, discovering the mystery between the "wall" and the cloud layer. Yu Tao then shared his conclusion that this was caused by the combination of cloud lighting and psychological factors.
In addition, Qin Da Di wanted everyone to understand that even momentary visual illusions caused by changes in lighting could alter and affect each pilot's psychological state. Qin Da Di particularly praised Wang Xiao Mao and urged the team to overcome visual errors, ensuring flawless performance during crucial test flights. Only with a strong inner self and a calm mind could they solve any problem.
Xia Chu analyzed the team's flight data and confirmed that their psychological pressure did not increase significantly, indicating that they could begin tomorrow's flight training. Kang Yan Cheng was the first to take the field, determined to charge forward even if he saw a wall ahead.
The others gradually took turns conducting test flights, remembering the words of Yu Tao and Qin Da Di, and they successfully soared through the sky as expected.
After returning to the dorm, Xia Chu remained silent while holding her phone, and Liu Ni Na noticed that she was troubled by relationship issues, asking her what she planned to do next. The flight test team held a cultural performance, and Yizhengbang personally went on stage to speak, praising the team members for overcoming difficulties and achieving staged success, and also securing a three-day vacation for them.
Kang Yan Cheng did not see Xie Zhen Yu at the event, guessing that he was tinkering with his bicycle in the room again, and simply helped him cover it up in front of everyone. At this time, Xia Chu received a call from Qian Cheng's mother, learning that Qian Cheng had been hospitalized due to a car accident. Qian's mother scolded Xia Chu harshly, believing she was not a qualified girlfriend, but when Xia Chu called Qian Cheng, it was his secretary who answered the phone and simply stated the situation before hanging up.
Xie Zhen Yu encountered Xia Chu at the entrance of the event and greeted her, inquiring about his test data results. Xia Chu indicated that Xie Zhen Yu's current situation looked relatively good, and Xie Zhen Yu sensed that Xia Chu's mood was not quite right, likely due to her having a bad day.
Meanwhile, Kang Yan Cheng and Liu Ni Na left the performance and headed back to the dorm together with the other four. Xie Zhen Yu kept glancing at Xia Chu and noticed her occasionally wiping away tears. Because Wu Xiao's son's condition was gradually improving, she practiced acupuncture on herself, and Doctor Su, after learning about this, specially brought her a few Chinese medicine books.
In contrast, Qin Da Di immersed himself in work again after the performance, and Tao Si Yong came to suggest that he rest properly, and also mentioned that the leader had required them to take a three-day vacation, insisting on accompanying him to visit his wife and family members. The flight test team members packed their bags and boarded vehicles to return to the city. Chen Ya Hong received a call from Yu Tao and immediately went to the hospital with him to see his grandfather.
Fortunately, Yu Zhao Nian's condition was still relatively stable, which gave Yu Tao some relief. After everyone had left, Yu Tao reported to his grandfather that the test flight work was proceeding normally.
