"It's good to be back."

Xu Jian, the forty-five-year-old captain, with traces of time on his face, nodded to Yang Xiaolong on the side, turned his head and looked at Zhou Hai, his eyes looked carefully, and he glanced at a look of satisfaction, raised his hand to return the salute, and did not say much.

People are fine, and it is enough to go home safely.

This is the third time that Captain Xu Jian has seen Zhou Hai, and he has really paid attention to this flight student who has just entered the Shicheng Flying Academy.

Today's solo performance of Zhou Hai, the operation of encountering a sudden accident, is almost beyond Xu Jian's imagination.

This is a natural pilot, a piece of excellent material.

"Zhou Hai, it's good." Lei Qiang, the deputy captain standing next to him, raised his hand and returned the salute, praising and praising him.

Zhou Hai's face was still the same, and he said modestly: "Deputy captain, you have won the award." ”

"What do you deserve, this is what you deserve, 99% of flight students can't deal with this situation in time, and your performance today is very good." Lei Qiang shook his head slightly, he was in charge of the daily affairs of the students, and naturally understood Zhou Hai's usual situation: "After going back this time, take a good rest, and wait until the psychological observation period is over before returning to flying, is there a problem?" ”

"Nope!" Zhou Hai replied loudly.

Hearing Zhou Hai's imposing answer, Xu Jian nodded, Lei Qiang showed a kind face, and after another one or two sentences, he turned around and left in the car, leaving space.

After the captain and deputy captain left, the solemn atmosphere in the No. 14 apron disappeared and eased instantly.

Don't look at the captain Xu Jian rarely shows up, but when he becomes serious, only the senior school leaders in the entire academy can parry.

"Zhou Hai, you can be a student, my old Hu has seen it for the first time in so many years, one word, serve!" Hu Jun, the leader of the ground crew, gave Zhou Hai a thumbs up and let out an exclamation from his heart.

The other members of the first ground crew team and the three comrades-in-arms in the 308 dormitory were the same, and they all gave their most accustomed thumbs up to express their inner admiration.

Admire!

Sincere admiration!

To tell the truth, when Zhou Hai flew solo for the first time to carry out a two-plane transfer drill mission, and the news of a sudden accident and a forced landing of a fighter spread, the entire academy's flight cadet team exploded, and Xiao Nan and Zhao Ziqing, who had finished training, were simply dumbfounded.

Encountering high-altitude jets, ultra-low-altitude stall tail spins, bird strikes and forced landings - each of them is on the verge of life and death.

Any pilot student who encounters this situation will have to be blinded, not to mention the combination of the three, forming a terrifying hellish difficulty.

But Zhou Hai encountered a series of sudden accidents, he was calm-headed, did not panic, dealt with them one by one, and finally forced the L-15C Falcon Higher Education to land on the highway with unimaginable flight technology, saving the fighter and precious flight data.

You must know that such a mentality and flying skills are not even available to the vast majority of regular pilots.

"Lao Zhou, you are really awesome." Xiao Nan, who is the first veteran of the 308 dormitory, gave a thumbs up, and there was nothing to say in his heart.

"Cow!"

Zhao Ziqing and Han Li felt the same way, and they couldn't describe what they thought in their hearts in words.

Zhou Hai smiled and didn't speak.

"Peace is best."

Wang Zhuyu on the side stepped forward gently, his short hair was moist, his eyebrows were like willow leaves, he was wearing a blue training uniform soaked in rain, and water droplets were dripping from the cuffs of his clothes, and he extended his blessings to Zhou Hai.

"Thank you."

His eyes looked at Wang Zhuyu, who was wet, and then looked at Bai Tangfei and Yi Xuewu on the right, Zhou Hai smiled politely and nodded lightly.

To be honest, Zhou Hai didn't expect Wang Zhuyu and the three of them to come here.

However, they are all coming, and they can't drive people out.

Others are willing to come to see you and give you care, which is where the heart lies.

"Comrade Zhou Hai, you have broken the record of our crash course again, amazing, it's okay."

"Zhou Hai, pay attention to your body."

Bai Tangfei and Yi Xuewu stepped forward one after another to express their blessings, and their bodies were also wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

"Thank you, and thank you for your concern, thank you very much."

Zhou Hai stared at the two of them, his face showed a serious look, his eyes were like torches, he looked around at the people in the tarmac, and solemnly thanked them.

Gratitude from the bottom of my heart!

Being able to wait in the heavy rain and finally send a seemingly simple sentence of condolences and care is enough to show everyone's intentions.

Hearing Zhou Hai's words, Hu Jun and the mechanic Xiao Wang and other ground crew members showed simple smiling faces, and the three people in the 308 dormitory and Wang Zhuyu all smiled.

Outside the tarmac, the rain was falling incessantly, and it seemed to be showing signs of increasing.

Countless raindrops hit the roof of the tarmac shed, making a crackling sound, and then converged on the drainage trough, forming a slightly cloudy stream of water that fell onto the concrete floor.

……

Inadvertently, time is long, and it has been three days since the last accident.

College camp, indoor swimming pool.

The 50-meter×21-meter×1.8-meter standard size swimming pool is clear and blue, and the water surface is sparkling and rippling.

"Whew!"

Zhou Hai, who was wearing swimming trunks, swam his legs 50 meters each way, swam up from the bottom of the water, and exhaled.

"Comrade Zhou Hai, are you okay? Long diving is not good for the body. A young soldier stood on the pool, holding a tactical tablet terminal in his hand, staring at Zhou Hai who had surfaced, and said softly.

Zhou Hai shook his head: "I'm fine." ”

As a flight temporarily grounded and entering the psychological observation period, Zhou Hai, who does not need to engage in physical training, is enjoying a short vacation under supervision.

The whole holiday started three days ago, and life returned to a calm state every day, getting up in the morning to tidy up housekeeping, eating and reading, wandering around with nothing to do, maintaining the support fighter with Hu Jun, the leader of the ground service team, and bragging with the head of the cooking squad Wang Da.

If you have itchy hands and want to shoot, you will go to the deputy captain Lei Qiang to apply, and after the permission, go to the indoor shooting range to carry out live-fire training, well, it is a gun in the popular sense.

With regard to pilots' practice of marksmanship, the Air Force not only did not restrict or prevent them too much, but on the contrary, they liked to hear about it and encouraged them to practice their guns, so that they could shoot as many bullets as they wanted.

Every day life is leisurely and peaceful, and I go to the shooting range from time to time to play.

When you're on vacation, you have to have fun.

The only fly in the ointment of holiday life may be that in addition to sleeping and going to the toilet every day, there is a person to follow and supervise at all times, monitor in real time, and record data every two hours.

With his legs swinging along the current, floating above the water, Zhou Hai smiled at the young soldier, leaned back, and swam slowly to the other end of the pool.

Swimming, this skill is likewise one of the foundations that pilots must master.

Zhou Hai was on a whim today, after eating at noon, the weather was relatively hot, and under the envious gaze of Xiao Nan and the others, he came to the indoor swimming pool of the college to experience the feeling of swimming.

"Zhou Hai, I have something to look for you." At this time, Yang Xiaolong walked into the swimming pool and shouted to Zhou Hai, who was backswimming on the water.
