Chapter 143: Test Pilot Recruitment

In March 1988, the day after Xiao Yuebai returned from the Hoover Dam, he was at an Air Force base in Colorado.

Getting off the black Mercedes-Benz car, Xiao Yuebai was very gentlemanly for Wendy. Dr. Lawson held on to the car door, and waited until the other party also got out of the car with him, and then Xiao Yuebai handed the car door to the entourage behind him.

Looking up at the clear blue sky overhead, and the bright sun, accompanied by the roar of aircraft engines in the distance, several F15 fighters of the Eagle Sauce Army crossed Xiao Yuebai's head.

At this time, the head of the base, an Air Force colonel, who had been in the distance, walked over quickly and said to the two: "Welcome two, Dr. Lawson, Mr. Xiao!" ”

"The excellent pilots we have selected from this base and other air units are ready, and they will be flying the planes in a moment, and then you will decide on the final selection."

As the highest official of this selection operation, Xiao Yuebai smiled at the Air Force colonel, nodded and said, "Very good, then Dr. Lawson and I will wait and see!" ”

Under the guidance of the colonel, Xiao Yuebai, Dr. Lawson and a few members of his entourage followed him to a parking warehouse.

Four men and two women in flight suits were standing in a straddling posture with serious expressions, showing several people that they were qualified air force fighters.

Took the file handed over by the colonel, which contained the information on the pilots' past.

Xiao Yuebai glanced at the information in front of him and didn't care, but the name at the end was called Carol. Danvers took a second look at his file.

This made Lawson, who had been by Xiao Yuebai's side, notice, so after Xiao Yuebai finished reading the file and handed it to her, she also focused on Carol's information.

After getting to know the pilots with Dr. Lawson at a glance, the six pilots, under the orders of the colonel, entered their respective F15 fighters and began to perform in flight formation.

During this period, each person had a specific opportunity to perform a aerobatic flight to show Xiao Yuebai and Lawson their flying ability.

This process lasted for more than 2 hours in total, and as the six planes returned to the airport, the six pilots returned to Xiao Yuebai and Lawson.

Then it was time for the recruiter to speak, and in a polite manner of putting ladies first, he signaled to Dr. Lawson, and after the other party politely declined.

As one of the top commanders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Xiao Yuebai took two steps forward and began his speech to the six pilots:

"Ladies and gentlemen! First of all, thank you to the six of you for your willingness to participate in the pilot selection of the Pegasus Project! ”

"Seriously, I admire your courage, you should all know the nature of the work of a test pilot, and this job also comes with unpredictable risks."

"Breakdowns, crashes, forced landings and other emergencies are more likely to encounter such situations than ordinary pilots when flying an airplane."

"But you resolutely participated in this selection, which shows that you believe that you are courageous, powerful and lucky!"

"I can't tell you about the 'Pegasus Project' because of the secrecy mechanism, but I can guarantee it."

"Once one of you is selected by us to fly the plane as a test pilot. Success or not, your outcome is life or death. ”

"It will bring the most fruitful results for you, your family, and all that you hold dear."

"And yourselves will be the pioneers of the greatest cause of all time, and the most glorious heroes in the history of mankind."

When Xiao Yuebai finished saying these words, everyone present also burst into applause that was not too big, but also very enthusiastic.

Later, Dr. Lawson, as the person in charge of the "Pegasus Project", also held the file in his hand and asked some questions to each of the six pilots present.

The entourage behind them also took notes on the answers and expressions of the pilots when they answered questions.

As the process got to this point, the ceremony to recruit pilots was basically over, after the colonel's order to disband.

The four male pilots left the hangar shoulder to shoulder, and the black female pilot, who was also Carroll. Danvers's friend, Maria. Rambo asked for a few words to Dr. Lawson.

When Maria spoke to Lawson, Xiao Yuebai was also beside her, and what the black female pilot said surprised him.

The topic he was talking to Dr. Lawson about Carroll. Danvers' tells the story of how hard the future team worked in training.

She always worked hard to accomplish many things that men couldn't, and she told Dr. Lawson about her uncompromising spirit.

The Kree, who was outwardly human, looked at Mary with a smile on his face, and listened carefully as Maria told her about the virtues of her friend.

The core idea expressed is that it hopes that when S.H.I.E.L.D. recruits test pilots, it will not have colored glasses for female bags, and maintain a fair attitude towards the selection of test pilots.

The reason why Maria said these words to Lawson was because she felt that it was up to this woman who seemed very intellectual.

In a place that everyone didn't notice, Xiao Yuebai glanced at the black female pilot with some tears and laughter.

In fact, Xiao Yuebai wanted to say to Maria, "You think too much, the final decision of the test pilot is up to me!" But he didn't plan to let someone else fly that life-changing plane.

Subconsciously glanced back, Xiao Yuebai found Carol. Danvers was at the top of the ladder, inspecting the position bay of his F15 fighter.

This made Xiao Yuebai nod with some admiration, people always say that details determine success or failure, and few people can do this.

But now Xiao Yuebai felt that Carol who was lying on the plane in front of him really understood this sentence.

Although she couldn't see what her upper body was doing in the cockpit now, Xiao Yuebai could feel that she was doing it very seriously and carefully.

Moving his legs to the side of the fighter, the English word "Avenger" was printed on the outside of the cockpit of the plane.

"'Avengers'! I think it's a great name! Xiao Yuebai stood next to the plane and looked up at Carol who was on it.

And after hearing Xiao Yuebai's words, this future shock team also pulled out of the cockpit, turned his head to look at Xiao Yuebai, and then thought about it carefully, frowned and said:

"Do we know each other? Or did you think I was flawed in my flight and came to point me out? ”

"I'm not a pilot, so I don't know that!" Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yuebai replied in some surprise, and then continued:

"I just don't understand the job of inspecting the cockpit of an airplane, so why don't you leave it to the ground crew?"

Carol's mouth puffed up when he heard this, and then he raised his eyebrows very seriously and said, "They don't fly my plane, how can they know my driving habits!" I don't really like to give this kind of work to someone else! ”

After finishing speaking, Carol seemed to remember something again, and then picked her chin at Xiao Yuebai and asked, "Hey! Sir, is this also a recruitment question? ”

Xiao Yuebai did not answer Carol directly, but lowered his eyes and looked at his leather shoes, and then said with a smile: "My name is Byron. Shaw, you can call me Shaw,"

"Goodbye! Nice to meet you! ”

Looking at the young Asian man who was gradually moving away in front of him, Carol tilted his head a little inexplicably, and then whispered:

"Me too!"
