On September 23, the weather was not very good, and there was a big gap with the forecast.

God still opened his eyes, and during the delivery ceremony, the clouds were dispersed to let the sun shine down, and the delivery ceremony was carried out smoothly, and everyone's mood was not affected much.

It was a day that went down in history.

A large number of military fans flew to Dalian from all over the country to watch the delivery ceremony of the first aircraft carrier from afar, although what I saw was only an outline - I participated in the ceremony of the delivery of China's first aircraft carrier to the naval forces at a visual distance.

All of a sudden, the price of air tickets to Dalian skyrocketed.

The origin of the Chinese people's desire for aircraft carriers can be traced back to 30 years, and the words once said by a naval leader have deeply rooted in the hearts of two generations of Chinese - I will not die if I can't see my own aircraft carrier.

Today, it's time to say solace.

With the end of the flag-awarding ceremony, it was announced that the Chinese Navy had entered the era of aircraft carriers, which was another departure to expand its territory and another outstanding contribution made by China to safeguard the interests of overseas countries and safeguard world peace.

The people of the whole country were boiling, and the No. 16 ship, with the assistance of several pilot ships, slowly left the dock, and set out for the first time after being delivered, and she was to go to sea for training for the first time after joining the ranks.

In the sound of a long whistle, the low-visibility painted No. 16 ship set sail for the wind and left the harbor, and various ships honked their horns to salute the Chinese navy, completing the transformation from the near sea to the far sea for the Chinese navy and setting sail for the navy of a major country.

As far as the common people are concerned, the first aircraft carrier has been launched, and the long wait has come to an end, so they continue to wait for carrier-based fighters to appear on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, wait for the news of the combat training of the carrier-based aviation unit, and wait for the official announcement of the aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness.

And for the Flying Shark unit and the officers and men of the No. 16 ship, what they have to do has just begun.

It seemed that the Flying Shark troops were going to be tested, and after the No. 16 ship entered the training area, the weather became very bad. Commander-in-Chief Zhang, who was in command in the aviation tower, issued a plan to postpone the landing of the ship. For a moment, the excitement of the delivery ceremony was gone, and it was replaced by apprehension.

Over the years, everyone has been holding back their energy, waiting for a hearty catharsis today, and doing their best to hand in a satisfactory answer to the people of the motherland. However, God doesn't give face, so it has to be sunny and cloudy. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Commander-in-Chief Zhang has made strict regulations on the meteorological conditions of the flight, and resolutely refuses to fly if the conditions are not met.

Li Zhan and the others were also waiting, they had been on standby for a long time in the first training area, and they had seen a wide range of weather changes with their own eyes. In fact, the weather on this side of the base was even more severe, with dark clouds moving from the southeast at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rain was not long after.

This cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Li Zhan strode towards the tail of the flight simulator deck until he reached the position near the sea. Down here is a cliff wall of reinforced concrete cut vertically, and below is the sea. He half-crouched down and carefully observed the changes in the waves, so as to judge the trend of the weather.

Dai Wenming walked over and squatted down, his brows twisted into pimples, and said in a deep voice, "The wave height is more than two meters." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to get worse." Li Zhan shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't fly." ”

Dai Wenming pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking, he shouldered a heavy responsibility, and the first fall of the HNA Flying Shark was completed by him, and he understood the truth that he would decline and exhaust himself in one go.

Dai Wenming, who was promoted to colonel last year, raised his head and looked into the distance, knowing that the No. 16 ship was not far away, and it only took more than 10 minutes to fly to see it, and he was fully prepared, and in order not to increase psychological pressure on him and other pilots, the troops strictly forbade anyone to come to see him off.

There were only them and the maintenance personnel in the huge first training area, but he knew that there were many people on the tower and in various positions waiting with bated breath for the news of his success. Everyone has been waiting for this day for too long, especially after Zhang Xueyang was injured in training, and everyone's desire for success is even stronger.

Several countries that have aircraft carriers have had accidents in which their planes have been destroyed and people have died during the boarding stage, and some experts have held that it is more difficult for carrier-based fighter pilots to land on ships than astronauts in space missions. "Dancers on the tip of a knife" is a good description of the difficulty and danger of their work.

Seeing that Dai Wenming's face was not very good, Li Zhan said with relief in a deep voice, "Old Dai, if you can't do it, then no one else can't, you have to have confidence in yourself, so that others can maintain their usual training state." ”

"I understand, I can do it like I usually train." Dai Wenming retracted his gaze and nodded heavily.

Li Zhan said, "The weather at the base is not good, maybe the weather conditions in the training area are okay." ”

"I hope so."

The two of them stood up and walked back along the middle line of the runway, the sea breeze blowing behind them, and the September morning made people feel a little chilly. On the parking stand, ten J-15 fighters are neatly arranged, and one of them is a standby fighter in case of unpredictable situations. The maintenance detachment and the remaining seven pilots waited near the simulated ship building on one side, where there were several rows of chairs, and everyone sat and waited, and from time to time a few people got up and walked back and forth, and their inner uneasiness and anxiety were fully revealed.

No matter how strong the psychological quality is, the person is also in an unstable situation at this moment.

Li Zhan couldn't let this situation continue to develop, he came to the team and started to speak with a smile on his face, "I just took a look at the wave changes on the sea surface, the wave height near the shore is more than two meters, and the far sea will be relatively stable, but the weather changes are still unpredictable, we have to be prepared for not being able to fly today." ”

The crowd was disappointed.

"It's not easy to make history, it's not easy. There will always be a lot of unexpected situations, and what we are experiencing now will be the experience that future carrier-based fighter pilots rely on, through which they do not need to repeat the path we have taken, and I think that as long as we achieve this goal, no matter how difficult it is, it will be worth it. ”

Li Zhan naturally switched to the state of a little prince of political work and began his ideological education work, "We are pioneers, pioneers, and vanguards. I mean, no amount of negativity will help us accomplish our mission. Yesterday, Mr. Zhang asked me to give a number, I estimate how many people will be able to successfully get on the ship, and the number I gave is three. ”

The pilots couldn't help but sit up straight, and furrowed their brows.

Li Zhan said, "From asking all the staff to board the ship, it has been reduced to the current nine people, including me, and then to the superiors who asked me to estimate the number of people who have successfully boarded the ship." Why is this happening? Because there have been so many unexpected situations that we have no experience in dealing with, many problems have arisen that have far exceeded our expectations. We're lowering the bar, which means that the more we master the technology of landing. ”

He pointed to the eight pilots, "Eight of you have been selected out of dozens of people, and you should show your due level and match your ability with the momentum of the first batch of pilots on board." ”

Suddenly, a light rain fell.

Li Zhan raised his head to look at the sky, the clear sky was completely gray, and the drizzling rain seemed to contain grievances, or he was moved by the Chinese Navy. I seemed to hear the loud trumpet and the tragic march.

Xiao Jinguang, the first commander of the navy, had to inspect Liugong Island, and the dignified naval commander needed to rent fishermen's fishing boats to go to the island.

In 1973, Senior General Xiao Jinguang suggested to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission that the construction of the navy should strengthen the defense capability of the coastal waters at the same time, and actively develop the combat forces in the middle and far seas in a timely manner.

This is the navy's greatest proposal to build a combat force in the far sea, and it is generally believed that having an aircraft carrier combat force is a sign of the navy in the far sea. We have been in this process for nearly 40 years and it has taken several generations of hard work to reach the threshold.

Shouldn't it be moved?

Li Zhan was moved and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, we want to create a new history of the People's Navy, and I will follow you on the journey of my heart!" ”

Everyone felt the same way, and finally realized what they were about to face. Is anything else important compared to the history of the People's Navy?

God burst into tears.

Everyone retreated to the mock ship building and continued to wait quietly for the order to be given.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Han Hongjun ran out of the aviation tower and ran down the gangway, there were many pieces running down the plane, he ran down desperately, until he ran to the lowest floor of the simulated ship building, rushed into the cabin and shouted with both hands on the door frame: "They gave the order!" ”

It was as if a hammer had hit everyone's hearts, and they stood up in an instant.

Li Zhan lifted the flight helmet, "Assemble on deck and prepare to take off!" ”

"Yes!"

The crowd rushed out and rushed to the flight simulator deck, where it was still raining. However, after the order arrived, let alone rain, even the knife could not stop the pace of the officers and soldiers. The maintenance team and the ground service team began to prepare for take-off in strict accordance with the process, the dispatch personnel were in place, and the take-off assistant was in place.

Li Zhan sorted out the pilot detachment, simple and rude: "Absolutely obey the order, and immediately implement the alternate landing plan after the landing failure and return flight, we will have a chance in the future." I will be with you in heaven, behind you! Good luck with your flight, and a big dinner on deck awaits you! ”

Saluting, he disbanded the team and walked to his No. 533 J-15 first.

As the second longest plane and deputy chief instructor, Li Zhan was the first to take off, followed by Dai Wenming, who was the first to land on the ship. Nine fighters flew to ship 16 in an air formation, and then except for the first fighter to land, the rest of the fighters circled and flew on standby. If Dai Wenming fails to land, the other fighters will not have to continue, and all of them will return to the base or land elsewhere.

The heavy rain suddenly increased, and Lao Chen asked Li Zhan and received a positive answer, and he immediately gave the take-off order. Visibility was affected all of a sudden, and Li Zhan successfully took off with his rich experience, which strengthened everyone's confidence. As a result, when it was time for Dai Wenming to take off, the rain suddenly became lighter, the clouds began to crack, and the sun came down.

It's a good sign.
