"Yes, Chief." Hearing the relevant arrangements given by Zhang Qinlei, Zhou Hai had no objection, straightened his back, and said in a straight voice.

After the written test and comprehensive fitness, the final level - professional skydiving was finally ushered in.

As long as he passes the level of professional skydiving, the grade skipping assessment will be over, and Zhou Hai, who has reached the standard of various grades, can successfully skip a grade and enter the flight simulator stage in the late third year.

Now, for Zhou Hai, the final professional skydiving subject assessment will and must pass.

Confident, calm.

"Go, it's just time for lunch, go eat and have a good rest." Looking at the young Zhou Hai, Zhang Qinlei collected his emotions, took a deep breath, closed the military panel, and said softly with a face with some traces of time, revealing a peaceful color.

Now, he couldn't see through the young flight cadet.

Zhou Hai saluted: "Excuse me, chief." ”

The words fell, and he turned to leave.

Now, just wait a day for a new life to come.

Some anticipation,

Somewhat excited,

There are also some longings.

It is one step closer to fading away from the identity of a flight cadet.

One step closer to a real pilot.

It's one step closer to the expansive blue sky.

……

The next day, Zhou Hai, who participated in the professional skydiving subject assessment, and Zhang Qinlei, the invigilator, took a civil airliner directly and flew to the training base in Hai Province in the south.

Professional skydiving has extremely strict requirements for weather and environment, it is winter, the average temperature in the north is minus 20 degrees Celsius, such a harsh climate and environment, it is not allowed to carry out skydiving assessment.

During this time period, the only place that can meet the training and assessment of skydiving is Hai Province.

It took the two of them a morning to cross a distance of nearly 3,000 kilometers from the north of the motherland to Hai Province, get off the plane, and then take a special car to the Hai Province training base.

It was already early in the afternoon when he arrived at the training base in Hai Province, and Zhang Qinlei, who was tired from the long-distance flight, did not arrange for the plane to parachute as soon as possible, but chose to rest for a day.

Next.

The weather was cloudless, sunny and the temperature was twenty degrees Celsius.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the wind direction and climate conditions were good, and after Zhang Qinlei confirmed that Zhou Hai was in good condition, he immediately arranged this important assessment of professional skydiving.

"Buzz!"

At a small airport, a light gray Y-12 multi-purpose transport aircraft in the No. 1 apron, two aviation turboprop engines were started and entered an idle state.

On the side of the fuselage, there are only two people, Zhou Hai and Zhang Qinlei.

"Re-check the bag and make sure it's correct." Wearing a light shirt, Zhang Qinlei held a military panel in his hand, his face was serious, and he said to Zhou Hai.

"Yes!"

Zhou Hai was instructed, there was no impatience, and he did not hesitate to take off the yellow-green umbrella bag behind him, squatted down, opened it, and carefully checked whether the main and auxiliary umbrellas were faulty.

Bag your own umbrella and check it yourself, which is responsible for your own life.

After more than a minute of careful observation, Zhou Hai confirmed that it was correct, got up, looked at Zhang Qinlei, and said: "Report, the umbrella bag has been inspected, and there is no fault." ”

Zhang Qinlei nodded, also squatted down, and checked Zhou Hai's umbrella bag again.

At this moment, he is not only the main invigilator and person in charge of this skipping assessment, but also an umbrella bag inspector.

After checking Zhou Hai's umbrella bag for the last time, Zhang Qinlei got up, looked at Zhou Hai, and told him the details of the parachute jump: "The parachute assessment requirements, jumping from a height of 2,000 meters, regardless of the way of opening the parachute, requires falling into a designated circle with a radius of 20 meters on the ground, there is only one chance, and the failure of the parachute jump is the failure of this assessment, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Zhou Hai puffed up his chest slightly and replied loudly.

Zhang Qinlei raised his right hand, gave a military salute as a blessing, and gave the final order: "Now, board the plane." ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Zhou Hai raised his right hand, put his five fingers together, and after saluting Zhang Qinlei, he turned around and walked towards the Y-12 light multi-purpose transport plane a few meters away.

"Boom!" A deafening roar was heard from two aviation turboprop engines.

After Zhou Hai boarded the plane, the two principal and co-pilots in the cockpit immediately made arrangements, and after requesting the airport tower to get permission to take off, they steadily controlled the fuselage, taxied out of the No. 1 apron, and slowly walked along the taxiway to enter the main runway of the airport, which was full of takeoff traces.

Enlarge the throttle valve, accelerate, take off.

The high-speed rotating three-bladed propeller is like a phantom, and the entire Y-12 is taxiing on the main runway at high speed, with the speed getting faster and faster, reaching the critical point of take-off, the wide nose is slightly raised, straight to the clear blue sky.

In the cabin, the loud sound of the engine overwhelmed all the noise, and it was undoubtedly the tone of the main theme.

Zhou Hai sat quietly in the back seat, and there was a strange soldier in his thirties, sitting next to the hatch, responsible for opening the door.

The altitude gradually increased, and after several minutes of climbing, the entire Y-12 finally leveled at an altitude of 2,000 meters, maintaining a horizontal and stable flight attitude and cruising at a speed of 220 kilometers per hour.

At this time, there is less than a minute left from the ground field of the training base.

"Drop!" Not long after, a familiar and urgent prompt sound sounded in the cabin.

"Thirty seconds left!"

The strange soldier sitting near the hatch stood up suddenly, with a seat belt at his waist that linked himself and the cabin to ensure safety, and the whole person sent a reminder to Zhou Hai, reaching out to manipulate the device of the hatch door opening and closing to open the hatch.

"Whew!" A chaotic air flow rushed into the cabin, making a long, slightly shrill sound.

Zhou Hai nodded, carrying a heavy umbrella bag, got up and came to the cabin door, looking at the blue sky outside through the cabin door.

"Drop!" After more than ten seconds, the prompt device in the cabin showed green, and it had arrived over the ground examination room.

The strange soldier shouted a reminder: "You can parachute!" ”

Without hesitation, Zhou Hai gave the strange soldier a thumbs up, and the next moment, like a tiger, he pounced forward, breaking away from the airflow constraints of the cabin and coming to the endless blue sky.

At a height of two thousand meters, directly below is the ground examination room belonging to the training base, and after the second change, the eyes that have become more and more acute can almost clearly see the white circle with a radius of 20 meters in the ground examination room.

Calm and calm.

Zhou Hai did not choose to open the parachute at the first time, the high-altitude parachute was greatly affected by the air current, if the 12-level wind suddenly blew, the parachute assessment was directly over.

Zhou Hai, who has skillful skydiving skills, prefers the way of high jump and low opening.

Wearing windproof goggles and clinging his hands to the sides of his thighs, Zhou Hai presents the best streamlined aerodynamic layout of the human body, like a meteorite falling from the sky, falling straight to the ground examination room below.

Height, fifteen hundred meters.
