Episode 23 recap: Yi Zheng Bang personally sought out Qin Da Di for a talk to persuade him.
Qin Da Di insisted on test-flying, and Tao Si Yong, in order to prevent Qin Da Di from risking his life, had no choice but to seek help from Yi Zheng Bang, stating that Qin Da Di would use the Harrier jump jet flying technique to make that crash. Yi Zheng Bang met with Qin Da Di alone and stated that before the expert team reached an official conclusion, the test flight squadron could not conduct high-speed deck landing trials using the Harrier jump jet technique.
Later, Xia Chu gave Xie Zhen Yu individual psychological counseling and discovered that deep within him, he lacked the care of parental affection. For this reason, Xia Chu told Xie Zhen Yu that his parents' love was always there, and if they were still alive, they would certainly hope that his flying could go smoothly. Xie Zhen Yu was also deeply moved by Xia Chu's words.
Director Liu suggested to Yi Zheng Bang that the test flight squadron should be given time off for the May Day holiday to relieve the mental pressure on the team members. Liu was responsible for guiding Yu Tao's emotional state, and told him that his mother was a great and strong woman. Because of Liu's words, Yu Tao's mindset became enlightened, and he also realized that he was not only a pilot, but also someone's husband and son, and he should also consider his family.
On the other side, Xie Zhen Yu was still focused on flying on the game console, and Kang Yan Cheng provided some guidance, until a teammate came to call him for psychological counseling. Kang Yan Cheng happened to pass by the counseling room and saw Liu Ni Na humming and dancing while preparing to leave, which attracted him with her cute and lively demeanor.
Liu Ni Na took the opportunity to express her feelings to Kang Yan Cheng, leaving Kang Yan Cheng pleasantly surprised, and the two agreed to meet at the training ground at 8 o'clock that night. When Yu returned to the dormitory, he learned from Geng Jian Lin that Qin Da Di was seeking to become the first test pilot for the Harrier jump jet.
However, Yu Tao was concerned about Qin Da Di's safety, and in his capacity as a fellow first test pilot, decided to join Xie Zhen Yu in writing a letter to the commander, requesting that the leadership fulfill their promise and hold an intra-squadron competition to re-determine the order before starting the critical test flight mission.
Yu Tao then came to discuss strategy with Xie Zhen Yu, and Xie Zhen Yu also supported Yu Tao's idea, planning to first make a request to Tao Si Yong, and if Tao Si Yong did not agree, they would organize the entire squadron to write a joint letter to Yi Zheng Bang.
Xie Zhen Yu felt that the next step should be to organize the entire squadron to undergo Harrier jump jet flight training, and Yu Tao agreed to immediately have the entire squadron learn the Harrier jump jet technique while also tackling the deck landing technology. Xia Chu took Xie Zhen Yu to the sand table room, had him feel the sand, and placed some small objects in the sand table, from which he saw that Xie Zhen Yu lacked the care of parental affection deep within him.
Under Xia Chu's guidance, Xie Zhen Yu proactively talked about his childhood experiences, and the two had their first in-depth conversation. Xia Chu told Xie Zhen Yu that his parents' love was always there, and if they were still alive, they would certainly hope that his flying could go smoothly. Xie Zhen Yu was also deeply moved by Xia Chu's words.
That evening, Kang Yan Cheng formally dressed up to go on a date with Liu Ni Na. Before leaving, he still looked at Xie Zhen Yu, wanting him to provide some reference, but when he heard Xie Zhen Yu mention the flight techniques that their predecessors had exchanged their lives for, his heart suddenly became complex.
As a result, Kang Yan Cheng thought about his identity as a pilot, hesitated for a long time and gave up meeting Liu Ni Na, for fear of delaying the other party. Tao Si Yong had to seek help from Yi Zheng Bang in order to stop Qin Da Di from risking his life, indicating that Qin Da Di would use the Harrier jump jet flight technique for that collision.
Xie Zhen Yu insisted on test flights, but Yi Zheng Bang said that before the expert team issued an official conclusion, the test flight team could not carry out high-speed shipboard landing experiments with the Harrier jump jet flight technique. After Qin Da Di left, Yi Zheng Bang actively called Director Liu to ask for her opinion on the test flight team.
Director Liu suggested to Yi Zheng Bang that the test flight team should be given a holiday during the May 1st holiday, not only because Qin Da Di as the team leader needs to rest, but also because the medical support team has started to provide medical consultation and support for the test pilots, and they need to see positive effects on them. She emphasized that the way of civil and military must be flexible, and even an iron man will be exhausted without proper rest.
After hanging up the phone, Yi Zheng Bang believed that Qin Da Di was both right and wrong, and ordered Tao Si Yong to go back and help him keep an eye on Qin Da Di. The next day, Yi Zheng Bang went to find Qin Da Di in person, first telling him about the dangers of the Harrier jump jet flight, and that the test pilots must consider all aspects of the problem in order to achieve the expected results.
However, Qin Da Di felt that there were so many uncertainties, so he decided to be the first to test fly, after all, he was the most experienced person in the entire team, and he had also consulted Yu Zhao Nian and Wu Jing Tian, mastering the data collected by everyone.
Yi Zheng Bang immediately denied this, believing that he still had many problems and many things to deal with, and provided some appropriate suggestions, which opened Qin Da Di's eyes. In this way, Yi Zheng Bang narrated the war they had experienced in the past, including how everyone bravely faced the enemy and eventually achieved victory.
Through this story, Yi Zheng Bang hoped that Qin Da Di, as the team leader, should calm his mind, as his every word and decision is crucial to everyone. After meeting with Yi Zheng Bang, Qin Da Di gathered the team members and announced the news of the holiday. Tao Si Yong knew that Qin Da Di had not visited his parents for three years, so he suggested that he take the opportunity to go home during the holiday.
Qin Da Di did not refuse, and looked through the family photos alone, his longing for his family growing deeper and deeper.
