Episode 7 recap: Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu competed in the competition and Yu Tao emerged victorious.

In the end, it was just Xie Zhen Yu and Yu Tao left, with the two aircraft facing off against each other. At the critical moment, Xie Zhen Yu suddenly charged straight at Yu Tao, showing a complete disregard for his own safety. Seeing this, Yu Tao had no choice but to evade, and couldn't help but exclaim "What a madman!"

It was precisely because of this that Xie Zhen Yu won the first round of the competition, much to the delight of his teammate Kang Yan Cheng. However, this match also piqued Xia Chu's curiosity about Xie Zhen Yu's personality - what had he experienced to make him this way? Yu Tao's assessment of Xie Zhen Yu was that he was a "crazy madman", but this had also made Yu Tao think of a new tactic, knowing which direction he needed to focus on for the next day.

Yí Zhèng Bāng personally came to the scene to watch, and Qin Da Di asked him who he thought would win between the two. The aircraft carrier platform was still in the experimental trial stage, and after inspecting the Liaoning ship, Yí Zhèng Bāng told the captain Zhang Hao Ran and political commissar Song Guo Qing that if there were any issues or problems that needed to be solved, they should provide timely feedback to the factory.

When Yí Zhèng Bāng heard that female soldiers would be boarding the ship, he repeatedly emphasized that it should be determined based on China's national conditions, and that he would be responsible for dealing with the female soldiers' affairs. The competition then entered the second stage, with the air force and navy facing off against each other, and Yí Zhèng Bāng personally came to the command center to observe.

Kang Yan Cheng noticed that Geng Jian Lin and Yu Tao were discussing Xie Zhen Yu, so he reminded Xie Zhen Yu to pay attention to unity and not offend people too often. But Xie Zhen Yu didn't seem to care, and when facing Geng Jian Lin, he had a completely dismissive attitude. At the start of the match, the two aircraft quickly entered combat mode. Xie Zhen Yu repeated his previous tactics, making those watching feel uneasy. However, Geng Jian Lin had grasped Xie Zhen Yu's approach and thought he could cope with it.

Suddenly, an aircraft emerged from the clouds above, and Xie Zhen Yu quickly locked onto Geng Jian Lin, saluting him. At almost the same time, the people in the command center sucked in a breath of cold air, while Kang Yan Cheng and his teammates excitedly clapped and cheered in victory. In contrast, the air force side was very annoyed, believing that Xie Zhen Yu completely disregarded the aerial rules, but on the battlefield, the enemy would not hold back because of so-called rules.

Yí Zhèng Bāng learned that the afternoon match would be between Yu Tao and Kang Yan Cheng, so he first went back to the office for a meeting, saying that if the next day's match was between Xie Zhen Yu and Yu Tao, he would come to watch again. Although Yu Tao easily defeated Kang Yan Cheng, he did not have enough confidence to beat Xie Zhen Yu.

Based on these competitions, the team members analyzed Xie Zhen Yu's methods and tactics, and provided him with suggestions and advice to improve. Xie Zhen Yu was deeply inspired and finally knew which direction to focus his efforts on. Xia Chu reviewed Xie Zhen Yu's test reports and found that he possessed the qualities of a good pilot, except for his high scores in imagination and anxiety, which may not be conducive to his mental health.

The more this was the case, the more curious Xia Chu became about Xie Zhen Yu and what he had experienced that led to his current personality. The next morning, Yi Zhengbang arrived at the command center, and Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu were ready to take off. At the signal, the two fighter jets broke through the sky at an astounding speed.

Xie Zhen Yu skillfully used the cloud cover as camouflage and maneuvered the aircraft with agility, but Yu Tao was equally unyielding, using the same method to counterattack, seeking a weak point and locking it down to declare the final victory. Faced with this result, Yi Zhengbang was simply disbelieving, and also angry that Yu Tao had won due to better preparation, and Qin Da Di should have warned Xie Zhen Yu in advance.

However, Qin Da Di felt that as the squadron leader, he should be fair and impartial, and not show any favoritism. The key to victory or defeat lies in their own abilities. The air force team members rushed to congratulate Yu Tao, while the atmosphere around Xie Zhen Yu was exceptionally cold.

Qin Da Di and Tao Si Yong discussed on the rooftop, as they had expected Xie Zhen Yu to win, but Yu Tao's performance exceeded expectations. Similarly, this competition loss had a great impact on Xie Zhen Yu, as he had always been the "Air King" of the Navy. When he returned to the dormitory, his emotions were extremely turbulent, and Kong Yancheng personally went to the cafeteria to get food for him.

Seeing this, Qin Da Di went to the dormitory to talk to Xie Zhen Yu, listened to his true thoughts, and pointed out that arrogant troops are bound to be defeated. As a result, Xie Zhen Yu was struck again, experiencing physical vomiting, which greatly concerned everyone. Tao Si Yong, concerned about Xie Zhen Yu's physical condition, decided to take him for psychological counseling first.

Under Tao Si Yong's insistence, Xie Zhen Yu had to face Xia Chu and briefly explain the situation. Xia Chu took Xie Zhen Yu to the seaside and taught him how to release his suppressed emotions through shouting. After Xia Chu's guidance and comfort, Xie Zhen Yu's condition improved noticeably, and his attitude towards her changed slightly. Xia Chu then left him her business card, telling him to come consult her if he had any problems in the future.
