Episode 31 recap: Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu experienced hallucinations during their low-altitude test flights.
During the subsequent test flights, Yizhengbang was concerned that they would not be able to complete the 100-meter high pass. After the test flights were over, everyone gathered for a meeting to share their experiences. Kang Yan Cheng said that at one point he felt like he was speeding towards the carrier deck. Yu Tao supplemented that he had a similar feeling.
Afterwards, Qin Da Di approached Xie Zhen Yu individually to inquire about his experience. Xie Zhen Yu candidly admitted that the approaching deck did not appear stationary, and it made him a bit dizzy. Combining everyone's feedback, Qin Da Di decided to fly the aircraft himself to see if it matched their descriptions.
However, Qin Da Di's impulsive flying behavior angered Yizhengbang. Qin Da Di consulted Xie Zhen Yu about the next test flight plan, and Xie Zhen Yu suggested following the landing procedure they had practiced on land, gradually decreasing the altitude to understand the impacts on Harrier flight under different airflow conditions.
Xie Zhen Yu also advised Qin Da Di that if he insisted on taking on all the test flights himself, it would be irresponsible not only to himself but to the entire test flight team. Qin Da Di acknowledged his problems and realized that Xie Zhen Yu had become more mature since joining the team.
That night, Liu Ni Na had trouble sleeping, eagerly anticipating Kang Yan Cheng's upcoming carrier landing. Meanwhile, the relationship between Xia Chu and Xie Zhen Yu remained that of comrades-in-arms, with neither taking the next step. But Liu Ni Na felt their love was still admirable, as they were both striving towards the same lofty goal.
On the day of the 100-meter high pass test flights, the entire team practiced the landing procedure consecutively. While Yizhengbang expressed concerns, Commander Zhang saw no issues and said he would score each person's performance to determine the landing order for the next day.
Qin Da Di and Jiang Hai successfully completed the pass, as did Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu, drawing applause from the team. After returning to the base, Qin Da Di called a meeting where everyone shared their experiences, including Kang Yan Cheng's feeling of speeding towards the carrier deck.
Yu Tao added that he also had similar feelings, but Xie Zhen Yu felt that this did not have a major impact on him, as long as he could overcome the illusion in his mind. This was because Xie Zhen Yu's remarks at the summary meeting hit the crux of the matter and provided important reference suggestions for the expert group.
Also, since the pilots experienced hallucinations during flight, the task would now be handed over to the psychology research center, which could help them complete their missions. Yi Zhengbang secretly called the hospital to inquire about Qin Yu's situation and learned that the child had still not regained consciousness, but he did not know how to tell Qin Dadi.
Soon, the duty squadron welcomed a batch of new comrades-in-arms. They were unable to board the ship, but they still left behind precious experiences and gesture systems for the new comrades, contributing selflessly to the establishment of a stronger naval duty squadron.
Ling Kai completed the handover with the new squadron leader and assigned all the subordinates to each small team. They also had to start training. That night, Qin Dadi dreamed of playing with his son on the lawn, but was startled awake when he saw Qin Yu fall to the ground. Qin Dadi took out a photo from the drawer, missing his son, while Wu Xiao remained by Qin Yu's bedside, worried that he might not wake up.
Tao Siyong told Qin Dadi that he and Xie Zhen Yu had to be punished again, just because they had arbitrarily decided to fly at a lower altitude. Qin Dadi expressed that he had already known Xie Zhen Yu's decision and believed he had made a meritorious contribution, as the commander had allowed them to try different flight altitudes.
Afterwards, Qin Dadi summoned Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu to the office and criticized them for causing trouble. Yu Tao admitted that he had flown fifty meters in front of the commander and discovered a situation similar to the wall, and even Xie Zhen Yu said that this flight experience was different from previous ones, often resulting in illusory errors, even seeing the deck approaching head-on.
After hearing the two reports, Qin Dadi's expression was grave. Disregarding Xie Zhen Yu's objections, he decided to personally test-fly once. When it was time for the next test flight, Qin Dadi, in an attempt to find a solution to the crisis, took the risk of low-altitude flight, which immediately enraged the onlooker Yi Zhengbang, who immediately canceled all test flights.
