Episode 26 recap: The test flight team completed the cable landing and emergency go-around.
Yizhenxiang personally visited the Liaoning, and stated that female soldiers serving onboard the ship is a groundbreaking event for the Chinese Navy. Similarly, Xie Zhen Yu and others are also preparing to board the ship, and the doctors from the psychological center have come out to observe, feeling that if they could work on the aircraft carrier like the soldiers, their lives would be complete.
However, Xia Chu kept a close eye on Xie Zhen Yu until his figure completely disappeared. Before the flight, Kang Yan Cheng talked to Xie Zhen Yu, wanting to know how to become a great flight hero, while Qin Da Di was encouraged by Qin Da Di, believing he had ways to definitely win.
Soon the day of the test flight arrived, and the entire team came to the test flight site. The first test pilot, Qin Da Di, was ready to board the aircraft. Tao Si Yong suddenly called Qin Da Di and returned the letter, telling him to go back and receive special protection, not always thinking about failure and sacrifice, as he would surely complete the mission successfully tomorrow.
Kang Yan Cheng came to chat with Xie Zhen Yu, wanting to know how to become a great pilot, and Qin Da Di also silently swore not to disappoint his father and son. On the day of the B13 course experiment, all departments were assembled, and Yizhenxiang and others came personally to observe, ensuring the test flight team was ready.
Before Qin Da Di boarded the aircraft, everyone enthusiastically encouraged him and shouted slogans of victory. Qin Da Di piloted the aircraft, which flew at high speed toward the white spot on the deck, and the aircraft successfully landed on the deck without any damage to the person or machine. The experiment was a complete success. The people present were all overjoyed, and the executives quickly obtained the experimental data, which was of great significance for future deck landings.
Yizhenxiang visited Qin Da Di in the hospital, confirming that Qin Da Di was physically and mentally fine. Qin Da Di then suggested to Yizhenxiang that Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu should fly again to execute their own deck landing procedures, and continue to improve and refine the landing system.
At the summary meeting, Qin Da Di recounted Yizhenxiang's mine field story to the team members, telling each pilot that this landing was just an ordinary one compared to the hundreds of take-offs and landings the shipborne aircraft will perform on the carrier, and as long as they maintain a calm mindset, the landing will be successful. Yizhenxiang personally visited the carrier base and summarized the deployment of female soldiers on board, considering it a groundbreaking event in the history of the Chinese Navy.
The special equipment support team was training, and the captain Ling Kai led the team to demonstrate the full set of command gestures to Yizhenxiang, who was very satisfied. The members of the psychological center mentioned the news about female soldiers onboard, and just happened to see the pilots passing by, unable to help but feel envious, thinking that if they could work on the aircraft carrier like the pilots, their lives would be complete.
But Xia Chu's gaze closely followed Xie Zhen Yu until his figure completely disappeared in the distance. Afterwards, the various departments urgently took their positions, following the order of the test flights, with Yu Tao as the first test pilot, and Xie Zhen Yu closely following him. Before the test flight, Qin Da Di reported to Yi Zhengbang and proposed that every comrade in the entire squadron should fly once, and if the arresting gear failed, they should immediately transition to escape and re-landing. Yi Zhengbang readily agreed.
Yu Tao conducted high-speed impact tests on the ship, and the arresting gear impact was successful. In contrast, when Xie Zhen Yu boarded the aircraft for the test flight, Qin Da Di heard him muttering the eight words "heart without a wisp of cloud, calm as still water," and was worried that he might have an accident due to nervousness, so he requested that Xie Zhen Yu stop the landing and fly back to the waiting airspace.
However, Xie Zhen Yu emphasized that he had no problems and continued to request landing, and after some consideration, Qin Da Di agreed to let him land, reminding him to remember the technical essentials. As Xie Zhen Yu was about to land, Qin Da Di temporarily changed the plan, causing Xie Zhen Yu's arresting gear to fail, but he still completed the first escape and re-landing.
Commander Zhang came to congratulate Qin Da Di, praising them for breaking through two major technologies in a short time: one was the arresting gear landing, and the other was the escape and re-landing after arresting gear failure. Similarly, Yi Zhengbang was also very pleased and even more convinced that the decision to have Qin Da Di come to the test flight squadron was the right one, but Qin Da Di attributed it all to the efforts of Xie Zhen Yu and Yu Tao, who had proven their excellence with their skills.
Xie Zhen Yu returned to the base and went to find Qin Da Di, asking him about the reason for the change in the plan. Qin Da Di told Xie Zhen Yu that for a great nation and people like theirs, the key lies in the dedication and sacrifice of their heroic children, and as a pilot, one must be prepared to make such sacrifices.
At the subsequent summary meeting, Xie Zhen Yu briefly described the essentials of the escape and re-landing, emphasizing that pilots must torture themselves technically but liberate themselves mentally, and be prepared for escape and re-landing at all times. That evening, Xia Chu came to chat with Director Liu, politely declining the invitation from the Dean, and deciding to continue serving in the Navy.
Xia Chu asked Director Liu about the reason for his lifelong singleness, and Liu revealed that when he was young, he had a crush on an outstanding pilot, but was too shy to confess, and by the time he gathered the courage to do so, he found that the pilot had already married someone else, and since then, he had never had that kind of excitement and admiration again. Hearing this, Xia Chu suddenly understood, and immediately applied to join the female soldier unit on board the ship.
