The next morning, with the whistle blowing. The aircraft carrier and his inseparable companion "Xia Ke" supply ship slowly sailed out of port.

It will take another day to reach the training area, and it is planned to carry out a return flight this afternoon. When the aircraft carrier actually arrives in the training area, it will be ready for a real landing.

After breakfast in the cafeteria in the morning, Chen Ming took Hu Xunbai and the others to the flight deck. After first bringing Hu Xunbai to his battle position, and repeatedly telling him not to be afraid of taking responsibility, Chen Ming found the rainbow people again.

"Finally a plane on board, nervous, aren't you?"

After Chen Ming and the other group of minions in charge of the command finished the meeting, they stepped forward and asked.

"It's a little bit."

A Minion looked at Chen Ming's playful expression and said a little bitterly.

"Haha, are you usually training to touch fish?"

"Fart! Not to mention that our rainbow man has the most training on the ship, it is also the second, who dares to be lazy and cut him. ”

Hearing Chen Ming's words, another Minion immediately came back with his voice that smelled of big scum.

"That's not it, what's there to be nervous about. Just follow the operation during training, and be calm. By the way, I'll inform the little green man later, there is no need to set up the blocking cable, and there is only the subject of touching the ship and returning to fly today, and there is no requirement to land the ship. ”

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he patted a little yellow man next to him on the shoulder and left.

During the landing and take-off of carrier-based aircraft, it is these deck crews who are most stressed. The feeling of oppression that comes from watching a war eagle roar towards you is still quite strong. Coupled with the fact that these people were inexperienced, Chen Ming had to come over and find a way to dispel the tension in their hearts.

Although there are not many things they need to do to make a comeback, the main thing is the training of carrier-based aircraft landing control. There is no need to actually land, so their assistance is not much needed throughout the touchdown process. It can also be regarded as letting them psychologically adapt to the feeling of landing carrier-based aircraft in advance.

Back in the flight control room, Chen Ming first hung his headset on his ear, so that he could receive and issue instructions at any time. Then I opened the information sent by the meteorological department and read it slowly.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner. During the lunch meal, Captain Zhang also deliberately went to Chen Ming's side to inquire about the situation. He also said that in the afternoon, he and the political commissar wanted to come to observe the first contact of the carrier-based aircraft, and they did not know if it would put pressure on them.

"Let's come to the flight control room, the people on the deck are under pressure. It was the first time they had experienced this kind of scene, and tension was inevitable. ”

Chen Ming said after thinking about it. There are not many people in the flight control room, except for the person in charge of his cabin, there is only one observer who is responsible for liaising with various departments, and several air traffic control personnel.

In addition, these people, when landing on the ship, most of their attention will be on the data information on the computer in front of them, and the two more people in the cabin will have little impact.

"Okay, that's it. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went over with the commissar. ”

After lunch. Chen Ming walked on the deck for a while, basking in the warm winter sun and even making people feel a little drowsy.

On the way back to the flight control room, Chen Ming went to the supermarket and bought several packs of instant coffee to distribute to everyone in the control room. As soon as the coffee was brewed, Captain Zhang and Political Commissar Mei arrived as promised.

"Hey, you're having a good day."

As soon as the two of them pushed open the hatch, they smelled the pungent aroma of coffee inside. Political Commissar Mei couldn't help but tease.

"Come, it's yours. The hot water is over there, so the two chiefs will soak it themselves, and it is almost time to take off. ”

Amid the laughter of several officers and soldiers in the control room, Chen Ming had already prepared to throw four packets of instant coffee to Captain Zhang. Originally, the ship's supermarket served the officers and men, and it was not a bad thing for the officers and men to drink some coffee to refresh themselves at work.

After Captain Zhang scolded Chen Ming with an angry smile, he gave two packs of coffee to Political Commissar Mei. Then the two of them put the coffee in their pockets.

Seeing the movements of the two, Chen Ming realized. I prepared instant coffee for them, but I didn't prepare a cup. Chen Ming, who was a little embarrassed, was just about to open his mouth to explain a few sentences, when he suddenly heard the report of the Guantong staff.

"Land-based reports that the Flying Shark has taken off."

"Yes! Notify the radar department that the pilot radar is turned on! ”

After Chen Ming heard the report, he immediately replied.

"Yes, pilot radar on!"

"Captain, can the start-up operation of the pilotage radar be changed to our control room?"

After Chen Ming and the other Guantong staff finished reporting, they asked. When the aircraft carrier was built, in order to facilitate planning, all the radars on the ship were switched on and off in the radar room.

The radar room generally only needs to be responsible for the phased array radar and fire control radar, and the radar operation right responsible for the pilotage of the carrier-based aircraft is in the control room, but the main cabinet is still in the radar room. Chen Ming asked after looking at the size of the remaining space in the cabin.

"I don't know about this, I'll help you ask the people at the shipyard when I get back."

The aircraft carrier itself is more of a test function than a combat one. It has now been delivered, but is still moored at the shipyard dock. There are some reasons why aircraft carriers have high requirements for berthing docks, but more of them are for the convenience of shipyards to transform aircraft carriers at any time.

"Hello, Shipfinger. The altitude is 6000, the course is 165, and you are at your command. ”

"Hello Flying Shark. The radar sees you and keeps heading. After a minute, the next height is 5000. ”

After Chen Ming heard Dai Minmeng's familiar voice coming from the VHF connected to his headphones, he hurriedly walked behind an air traffic controller in two steps and looked at a small flashing green dot on the radar screen. Then he spoke.

Although it has been more than half a day since the aircraft carrier left the port, the aircraft carrier's touching speed has not sailed far. Especially during training, with economic sailing speeds. In this way, it will not be long before the cruising speed fighter will chase after them.

"The flying shark receives, keeps course, and after a minute goes down to altitude 5000."

The minute was quickly up, and the voice of Dai Democratic League came from Chen Ming's VHF.

"Height 5000 to!"

"Heading 180, lower altitude 3000."

Chen Ming ordered decisively.

Today's meteorological conditions are not very good, and Chen Ming plans to let Dai Minmeng go down to the altitude in advance to facilitate the visual observation of the aircraft carrier. Anyway, there is almost the strictest air traffic control in the world in China, and this is a military training area, so Chen Ming is not worried about any accidents when he descends in advance.

"Height 3000 to."

"Maintain altitude, course. It is expected that in four minutes, it will approach the sky over our ship. Visual! ”

"Maintain altitude, course, visually!"

Hearing Dai Minmeng's recitation, Chen Ming had time to take a sip of coffee that had been foaming for a long time. Not to mention, after such a delay, the temperature of the coffee has cooled down a lot, and it is more delicious than when it was first brewed.

"The Flying Shark has seen the aircraft carrier!"
