Just when a group of maintenance workers staged an embarrassing version of "Fury" in Zibo, in the Gretel Strait, thousands of miles away, Kang Xiaoshuai had been "soaking" in the sea for nearly 36 hours. The reason for the double quotation marks here is that the inflatable life raft was found from the famous life bag soon after falling into the water.

In the first few hours after the crash, Kang Xiaoshuai was indeed a little panicked, especially when he had a suspected fracture injury in his left forearm, this rookie couldn't convince himself to calm down. Escaping with a catapult chair is a risky thing to do, but of course, it's worth the risk compared to falling into the sea with the F-15C fighter.

When Kang Xiaoshuai found that he could no longer control the F-15C fighter numbered LN334, he decisively released the already useless throttle and joystick, and pulled down the yellow pull ring between his legs with both hands. After that, a series of automatic and rapid movements occurred inside the ejection seat under Kang Xiaoshuai's buttocks: his feet were tightly pulled back and fixed by a strap, his shoulders were firmly pulled against the seat, and a cutter cut all the cables connected to the chair, and then the seat was completely separated from the body. Immediately followed by a series of miniature explosive devices, the cockpit canopy was blown off and thrown into the air, and finally the rocket under the ejection seat ignited, Kang Xiaoshuai and his seat flew away from the F-15C fighter jet that was stunned and stuck into the sea, and rushed into the air hundreds of meters above the sea, surrounded by only a deafening high-speed air current.

The aforementioned risk of escaping with a catapult chair is related to the high-speed air currents surrounding Kang Xiaoshuai. The ejection seat is used to save the lives of pilots who are in dangerous situations, and the experience it brings to pilots is definitely not enjoyable, and pilots who escape during the ejection process may suffer some collateral injuries, such as limbs may be "hit" by strong air currents and cause fractures. Of course, if a rookie pilot is so stupid or flustered that he forgets to put on his mask, there is a high chance that his eyes or face will be damaged.

Although Kang Xiaoshuai is an out-and-out rookie, fortunately, he still didn't forget to put on his mask before pulling off the famous yellow pull tab. But from the moment he hit the seabird, Lady Luck didn't seem to favor him much, and he felt a sharp pain in his left forearm as the catapult chair rose sharply.

Kang Xiaoshuai, who was rigidly fixed to the ejection seat, was still manipulated by the built-in program of the ejection chair after being ejected from the plane, and after the energy of the rocket at the bottom of the ejection chair was exhausted, he and the chair began to fall, and then the ejection seat released a cone-shaped parachute to pull the seat right, and soon the falling speed of the ejection seat was reduced to a safe and stable range. Under normal circumstances, the height sensor on the ejection seat will trigger the main parachute at a suitable altitude, but because the F-15C piloted by Kang Xiaoshuai had an accident during a low-altitude pass, the height of the ejection chair from the sea surface at this time was not large, in order to avoid smashing into the sea with the ejection chair, Kang Xiaoshuai chose to manually open the parachute. The pull generated by the main parachute as it began to inflate applied to the edge of the seat, activating its built-in cutter and separating the seat from the pilot, leaving Kang Xiaoshuai alone hanging under the parachute and floating on the sea.

In the choice of the ejection chair, the "director team" is a rare and intimate time, this is an eagle sauce naval ejection chair, the large survival bag that was also placed at the bottom of the ejection chair did not fall into the sea with the ejection chair, but with a 12-meter-long rope connected with the pilot.

If the big survival kit and the ejection chair are smashed into the sea together, judging from Kang Xiaoshuai's current fracture of his left forearm, most of the rookie pilots will not be able to swim to the ejection chair to find the survival kit, and he will definitely feed the sharks here just by relying on the small survival kit that fits closely.

After falling into the water, Kang Xiaoshuai quickly found the life raft through the rope attached to his body, and the inflatable life raft could be stretched out and used as long as he pulled the ring, but Kang Xiaoshuai, who had a fractured left forearm, almost struggled to climb onto the life raft. Kang Xiaoshuai, who climbed into the orange life raft, shivered, stuffed two morphine painkillers into his mouth, and then began to look through the lifesaving manual in the survival bag.

From the lifesaving manual, Kang Xiaoshuai learned that floating on the surface of the tropical ocean, the first thing he had to solve was sun protection, so as to avoid losing a lot of water due to his body temperature and height. Unlike those rough embryos on the E4 ship that can replenish fresh water at any time, it is a pleasant enjoyment for people to bask in the sun, but it is a fatal torment for Kang Xiaoshuai. If he can't manage his body temperature effectively and sweats profusely, he is very likely to die on a life raft due to dehydration.

There were a total of four ounces of drinking water in the survival kit that Kang Xiaoshuai carried with him, but when he was taking the medicine just now, he had already poured one ounce of fresh water luxuriously. Of course, there were some desalination agents in the big survival kit, but the amount of water produced by these agents was a drop in the bucket for the scorching midday sun of the South Pacific.

Wearing a sunshade Penny hat and using a thermal blanket with reflective aluminum film to build a shelter for himself on a life raft that could cover his body, Kang Xiaoshuai felt that even if the rescue helicopter arrived a little late, he should be able to survive. When he first crashed into the sea, he was also worried that the orange life raft and the large reflective surface of the thermal blanket would attract the old planes of the British, but it was impossible for him to abandon the life raft and soak in the sea water in his current state, so he could only pray that the rescue helicopter on the E4 ship could find himself in front of the British.

However, Kang's doubts dispelled as the F-15E fighter flew over his head, and after seeing his own fighter approaching, he used his PRC-90 life-saving radio to get in touch with the pilot in the sky. Although the communication signal was still seriously disrupted at the time, from the F-15E's reversal of direction and flying in the direction of the British airfield he said, it can be inferred that the F-15E pilot clearly received his own message, well, at least partially.

Kang Xiaoshuai knew very well how easy it was to smash the British airfield with the perverted payload of the F-15E, and he could lie comfortably on the life raft and wait for the rescue helicopter to arrive. It was in this optimistic attitude that Kang Xiaoshuai used up two seawater desalination agents to bring himself a "refreshing drink" with a strange taste. It's just that he didn't wait until sunset, and he didn't wait for the rescue helicopter sent by the E4 ship. However, the F-15E fighter flew over his head again and again, and Kang Xiaoshuai, who was already a little worried, put his heart in his stomach again, and happily stuffed an energy bar into his mouth.

I don't know how Kang Xiaoshuai would feel if he learned that the F-15E himself was also waiting to experience his own life and death, LN2003, hovering over the dirt airfield built by the prisoners of war in Dongwanlu, was anxiously waiting for a reply from the command center in the green paint area. Although the clone instructor in the light curtain of the dome repeatedly instilled in Xu Jing that "fighter jets are valuable, and pilots are more expensive." But she still insisted on landing on this dirt airport with only airport side lights.
