Qin Dadi originally thought that Wu Qiang came to him to stay in the flight test team, but unexpectedly, Wu Qiang took the initiative to apply to withdraw from the test flight team. He said that due to his physical condition, he was unable to ensure the safety of the team and was worried about accidents. He repeatedly emphasized that although soldiers cannot control life and death, they can maintain their dignity. And Wu Qiang believes that even if he can't fly, he still has to apply to work on an aircraft carrier as a flight controller.
Afterwards, Tao Siyong summoned the entire team and announced Wu Qiang's withdrawal. Qin Dadi suppressed his sadness and went on stage to talk about an accident four years ago. When they were testing a new aircraft model, the system suddenly malfunctioned. Wu Qiang could have parachuted immediately, but he chose to save the plane at the critical moment, missed the best opportunity to escape, and finally pulled the ejection handle two seconds before the crash.
Due to the insufficient height of the plane, the parachute failed to fully deploy. Wu Qiang fell heavily onto the sea, causing multiple comminuted fractures in his body. His lumbar spine even required eighteen nails to fix it. From a common sense point of view, this should mark the end of Wu Qiang's flying career. However, with amazing willpower, he returned to the blue sky after only four hundred days.
Today, Qin Dadi deeply feels that he is incompetent as a captain. He did not expect the damage caused to Wu Qiang by the high-speed collision. He is full of guilt and decides to apply for punishment from the commander-in-chief. Wu Qiang usually doesn't talk much, but today he stood on the stage and said that it was the honor of his life to join the flight test team. He would strive to cure the disease as soon as possible and become a flight controller to provide support for Chinese carrier-based aircraft in the air. Contributed to the first successful landing and takeoff on an aircraft carrier. Everyone present was moved and applauded to bid farewell to this outstanding comrade.
Although the logistics support team was not the first batch of personnel to board the ship, they still actively engaged in hard training every day and repeatedly practiced the preset gestures. Similarly, Qin Dadi also led the team members into training, telling them to overcome the difficulties of finding the ship, find breakthroughs through continuous correction, and especially emphasized the principle of safety first.
When the first ship-finding test flight was launched, the test pilots struggled to explore ways to find the aircraft carrier in complex weather conditions and with the radar turned off. Upon seeing this, Yi Zhengbang immediately instructed to turn on the guidance radar to assist. However, what is shocking is that at the moment when the guidance radar was turned off, the planes of Qin Dadi and Jiang Hai actually headed towards each other through the clouds with Xie Zhenyu and Kang Yancheng. This scene made the onlookers break into a cold sweat.
In view of the fact that today's D03 test flight almost caused a serious accident, Yi Zhengbang announced in public that he would give Qin Dadi a major demerit and asked the entire test flight team to hold a meeting to conduct an in-depth review. The purpose of the meeting is not only to find out the cause of the accident, but also to propose effective ways to solve the accident. Yi Zhengbang emphasized that if improvements are not effective, replacement of personnel will be considered. Although Qin Dadi could not adapt to Wu Qiang's departure, he did not care about being punished. The top priority was to overcome this problem.
When Xie Zhenyu and Yu Tao were chatting at the beach, they commented on Qin Dadi's affairs and believed that he had done his best. Yu Tao believes that every country with an aircraft carrier will face similar challenges, so they can only rely on themselves to continue to explore. Qin Dadi was also working hard to find a solution. He referred to relevant video materials. The aircraft carrier model in front of him gave him a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly realized that the key point was the track.
Then Qin Dadi quickly reported to Yi Zhengbang and applied for another test flight. Sure enough, during the test flight, everyone quickly discovered the ship's track and finally locked the aircraft carrier's exact position. Yi Zhengbang was very happy when he learned about it, indicating that the flight test team was making progress, and asked Commander Zhang to be fully prepared for the landing of the carrier-based aircraft.
