Episode 17 recap: The aircraft carrier's simulations and sea trials have repeatedly failed.
The three-day holiday passed in a flash, and everyone gradually returned to the test flight squadron base to begin intensive training. The president came to share valuable experiences with the squadron members, hoping they could operate the aircraft better and quickly complete the test flight tasks. Because they might face more problems in the future, the president gave examples of various issues and discussed them with the team, emphasizing the importance of the arresting gear. Even though the ground-based arresting gear had been successful, the same results were required for the carrier-based trials.
However, when they tried to fly again, no one achieved the expected results. While takeoff was easy, landing proved more difficult. Even Qin Da Di was affected by the intense ground lighting, causing misjudgments, and the others also failed in succession. Xia Chu went straight to the point and explained his intention, and in front of Qing Cheng's mother, he formally broke up with Qing Cheng, stating that due to his career, he would never become the person they expected, and he would not give up his military identity to change careers.
After saying these words, Xia Chu returned everything to Qing Cheng and left the ward without waiting for him to respond. Qing Cheng wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by his mother. At this time, Liu Ni Na was waiting for Xia Chu at home and suddenly discovered the torn photos in her trash can, instantly realizing what had happened, and quickly rushed out.
Xia Chu completely ended his relationship with Qing Cheng and ran alone on the training ground to vent his emotions. Liu Ni Na sat in the stands, lamenting that love can indeed be hurtful. Qin Da Di rarely had time to take care of his son, and when his son asked about the experience of being a pilot and what happened on the plane, he decided to take his son to the simulation training cabin to experience it.
Sure enough, Qin Yu was very excited when he became a pilot for the first time, soaring in the blue sky and white clouds. Wu Xiao watched the father and son having fun and couldn't help but smile with them. In contrast, Chen Ya Hong accompanied Yu Tao to visit his mother, during which he mentioned the need to get pregnant and have a child soon. Yu Tao hesitated, thinking about the hardships his mother, a martyr's family member, had endured in raising him, and worrying that if something happened to him, Chen Ya Ping would become like his mother.
However, Chen Ya Hong clearly stated that no matter what problems might arise, he would not be afraid and would always be by Yu Tao's side.
Afterward, Yu Tao personally cooked a meal, and when Yu's mother saw the two, she was overjoyed, feeling that they had changed the wedding date too hastily, but Chen Ya Hong took the opportunity to speak from the heart, believing that since the two had already registered their marriage, they were officially husband and wife, so this meal could be considered their wedding celebration.
Chen Ya Hong drank a toast with Yu Tao in front of Yu's mother, and thanked Yu's mother for her hard work, knowing how difficult it was for her to train Yu Tao to become an excellent pilot. She decided to stay at home tonight, deeply moving Yu's mother. The three-day holiday passed in the blink of an eye, and the time to part was imminent. Qin Da Di was upset but had to pretend to be calm as he accompanied the mother and son for the meal, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Qin Yu noticed Qin Da Di's reluctance and urged him to hurry back to the troops. As a soldier, Qin Da Di had to give up many things, and could only vow in his heart to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to his family. The group gradually returned to the flight test squadron base and began to immerse themselves in the intensive training. The commander came to share valuable experience with the flight test squadron members, hoping they could better operate the aircraft and complete the flight test tasks as soon as possible.
Anticipating that more problems might arise, the commander discussed various issues with them and emphasized the importance of ground arrestor wires, stating that even though the ground arrestor wire test had been successful, the same result was required for the carrier-based test. Meanwhile, the medical squadron had recruited some new members, and Xia Chu briefed them on the responsibilities and obligations they would face, telling them to provide one-on-one guidance to each test pilot, quickly establish the country's own carrier-based aircraft flight medicine, and prepare the medical support for the future training of a large number of carrier-based fighter pilots.
To ensure the team members understood their respective tasks, Xia Chu particularly stressed that everyone must fully understand the psychological and physical condition of the pilots. The first stage was to identify the significant psychological factors affecting the pilots, and to establish records in a timely manner. That night, Liu Ni Na tossed and turned, gradually realizing that she had developed feelings for Kang Yan Cheng, but was afraid that he might not be single, so Xia Chu reminded her to go directly to the political commissar to inquire about the information.
As the flight test squadron transitioned to land-based simulated aircraft carrier deck landing tests, the expert team proposed: first, to break through the key technologies of simulated aircraft carrier deck landing, and second, to detect the compatibility of people, aircraft, arrestor wires, carrier, and lights from the landing perspective. However, when they tried to fly again, no one achieved the expected results - takeoff was easy, but landing was quite difficult, and even Qin Da Di was affected by the strong ground lights, resulting in misjudgment, and the others also failed one after another.
