Junior pilots, with 300-1000 flight hours, are already combat-ready at this stage and can take on combat-ready duty tasks.

Intermediate pilot, with 1000-3000 flight hours, experienced and skilled, has crossed the threshold of the common saying 'old pilot'.

Senior pilot, with 3000-8000 flight hours, excellent technology, extremely high talent, able to be familiar with all kinds of air combat, with superb air combat skills, is a treasure of the air force, and the loss of one is extremely painful.

Top pilots, with more than 8,000 flight hours and top technology, are like peerless masters in martial arts novels, fully mastering flying skills and reaching the level of perfection, generally as the top test pilots of the Air Force, and are the mainstay of the Air Force construction and development road.

Commonly known as an ace pilot, if he has experienced actual combat and shot down more than five enemy planes, he is called a super ace pilot.

In addition to the number of flight hours, there is also a hierarchy of the number of enemy planes shot down, which is a shortcut, like the adventures of the characters in martial arts novels.

It is a well-established rule in the world aviation field that as long as you shoot down five enemy planes, you can become an ace pilot and enjoy endless glory and glory.

Even if your flight hours are 1 hour, you only need to shoot down five enemy planes, congratulations, you will be directly promoted to the top pilot level, and enjoy the glory of the title of ace pilot.

And about the title of ace pilot, in the history of world aviation, one will never be forgotten.

A legend that stands on top of the sky, a myth that has terrified countless Allied pilots.

During World War II, a young man named Erich Hartmann entered the Luftwaffe service, and during the entire service, Hartmann shot down a total of 352 enemy aircraft.

352 planes!

The meaning behind this number is staggering.

"Groan!"

Xia Cicada's annoying voice resounded in the No. 2 dormitory building.

Bidding farewell to the dormitory manager who was familiar with computer operation, Zhou Hai took the dormitory key and suitcase, entered the dormitory building, and went up the stairs to the fifth floor to find the dormitory No. 502 with the door closed.

Pick the lock, enter the door.

The dormitory is a four-person bunk, with an area of about 30 square meters, spacious and tidy, equipped with a separate toilet and balcony, and there are no roommates yet.

Looking at the situation in the bedroom, Zhou Hai chose to enter the upper bunk on the left hand of the door, the surface of the bed was placed with a layer of moisture-proof hay, and there were no sheets and mattresses and other items.

"Sheets, pillows, and mattresses, you should get the essentials later, it's okay now, nibble on the book."

Zhou Hai looked at it, then opened his luggage, took out a professional book on the introduction to flight control systems, sat on the edge of the bed, and read quietly.

The book "Introduction to Flight Control System" mainly describes the history, various types and functions of aircraft flight control systems, as well as the general overview of the current digital fly-by-wire control system, future development prospects, etc., and describes in detail why the fly-by-wire control system can replace the mechanical control system.

"Knock knock!"

It wasn't long before there was a crisp, short knock on the door.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked."

Zhou Hai heard the knock on the door, came back to his senses, closed the book, and said with a straight face.

"Hello, I'm a new ...... , Zhou Hai, is that you?! ”

The door of the dormitory was slowly pushed open, and a polite and clear Mandarin came out, only to see a boy with a resolute and sunny face walk in, and after seeing Zhou Hai, he was stunned and a little incredible.

"Are you a candidate at the Capital Selection Center?" Zhou Hai looked at the boy in front of him, and immediately remembered more than a month ago, he had seen this boy, but he didn't know his name, let alone know it.

"Hello, my name is Yang Miao, a native of Zhu City, Guangzhou, and I am very happy to meet you."

Looking at Zhou Hai with both eyes, a sunny and bright smile appeared on Yang Miao's face, stretched out his right hand to Zhou Hai, and said: "I admired you very much at the beginning, it was so awesome, sitting on that multi-dimensional detector, it was too strong." ”

Putting down the book, Zhou Hai stood up, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and shook hands with Yang Miao: "Hello, my name is Zhou Hai, a native of Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, I am very happy to meet you, we will be comrades-in-arms in the future." ”

Shake hands and salute.

The word comrade-in-arms is self-evident for every soldier who has experienced a military career.

"Yes, we are comrades-in-arms."

Yang Miao took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in her heart, restrained her smile, her face was solemn and solemn, she nodded, and looked at the two empty beds: "I don't know when our other two comrades-in-arms will arrive." ”

"Wait a minute, it's estimated that it will be there soon." Zhou Hai smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed again, and picked up an introduction to the principle of flight control.

"Zhou Hai, what do you see? Could it be an unknown villain book? Looking at Zhou Hai holding a book in his hand, Yang Miao showed a mysterious smile on his face and said softly.

"On one of the compulsory courses for pilots' self-cultivation, "Introduction to Flight Control Systems", published by the National Defense Industry Press, the author is Academician Yang Wei, who edited a book when he was the deputy director of Cheng Luoma, do you want to see it?" Zhou Hai shook his head with a smile, his eyes showed a hint of interest, he raised the thick book in his hand and shook it, teasingly.

“……”

Looking at the thick books that were gently shaking in Zhou Hai's hand, the joking Yang Miao was stunned for a moment, his face was speechless, the whole person was a little bad, thought for a while, and wondered: "Zhou Hai, this, what is one of the compulsory courses on pilot self-cultivation?" ”

Introduction to flight control systems, this book Yang Miao has heard.

As for the author, Academician Yang Wei, Yang Miao knows it very well.

Academician Yang Wei single-handedly created the J-20 'Weilong' stealth fighter, like the mainstay, supporting half the sky of the entire Huaxia aviation industry, making the entire Huaxia Air Force second only to the United States equipped with fourth-generation stealth fighters, giving way to the Rongcheng Aircraft Design Institute in the southwest, becoming the Chengluoma in the minds of countless people!

What is Cheng Loma?

Cheng is the Rongcheng Aircraft Design Institute, and Loma is the American Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, engaged in the aerospace industry, and is currently the world's No. 1 weapons manufacturer, with a market value of nearly 100 billion US dollars.

Loma Company, which developed the F-22 "Raptor" stealth fighter and the F-35 "Lightning" joint fighter for the US Air Force, is a well-deserved cutting-edge military enterprise in the world at present.

Yang Miao deeply understands what kind of status Academician Yang Wei, who single-handedly created the J-20 stealth fighter, has in the entire Chinese aviation community.

It's just that he still doesn't understand what exactly is - on the pilot's self-cultivation compulsory course.

"On the self-cultivation of pilots, it's very simple, let's show you, proficient in aerodynamics, flight principles, flight control systems, aviation psychology, primary flight command and operations, military science and avionics subjects, and of course, hidden assessment."

Zhou Hai smiled with a smile on his face, took the suitcase next to him, opened the zipper, revealing various types of professional books quietly placed inside, like a hospitable host, took out the aerodynamics foundation that he first read at the beginning, and recommended: "I first recommend you to learn the fifth edition of aerodynamics basics, how about it?" Whatever you want to learn, I've got it all here. ”
