On the second day after arriving at the abandoned airport, Wei Ran, who was hung outside the tower by two climbing ropes, looked at the An-2 aircraft that was swaying into the sky and shuddered involuntarily.
The experience of learning to fly a plane yesterday was definitely a nightmare. During that whole day, he himself couldn’t remember how many times he took off and landed in that broken plane.
"Don't be distracted!" Culp, standing under the tower, held a telescope in one hand and a tweeter in the other and shouted, "It's a crosswind on the right!"
Smell After saying that, Wei Ran immediately pulled the ring in his hand to complete the corresponding simulated operation. Culp nodded with satisfaction under the tower and continued to help Weiran simulate new situations he might encounter in the air through the loudspeaker.
After only four days of practicing in this rotation, Weiran and Jima were able to control the aircraft to start, take off, hover and land without Teacher Dalia’s reminder. After that, these two crazy teachers started playing new tricks.
"Victor, you fly the plane." After Dalia closed the door, she got into the cockpit with the gas.
Glancing at Teacher Dalia, who was holding a small wine bottle and sipping from time to time, Wei Ran took a deep breath, put on the communication earphones and fastened the seat belt, started the propeller step by step, and carefully controlled the plane. Start taxiing into the air.
"The altitude is three thousand meters," Teacher Dalia said as the plane left the ground.
Glancing at the altimeter, Weiran adjusted the throttle slightly and continued to pull the steering column to climb. When he reached the predetermined height, he immediately asked, "Teacher Dalia? Where to go next?"< /p>
"Keep going." Teacher Dalia glanced at the GPS, then at the window, responded casually, and then focused all her attention on the electronic map.
At a certain moment, Teacher Dalia raised her hand and pressed a red button installed with flying wires. Before Wei Yan could react, Culp, who was in the cabin behind him, opened the door. The raging wind smashed into the cabin, making even the control column in Wei Yan's hand tremble. On the radio communication channel, Culp's voice also sounded, "Opening the parachute at an altitude of 1,500 meters, landing on the runway, and folding the parachute before landing is considered qualified."
"Understood! "Jima responded and simply jumped out along the cabin. Culp, who was in the cabin, also simply closed the door.
"Let's go back too!" Teacher Dalia said immediately.
Wei Ran, who had already guessed the gameplay, took a deep breath and controlled the plane to start circling while lowering its altitude little by little. Sure enough, after the plane landed, Jima immediately ran into the cabin at Culp's call and took over the work of sanitary ignition.
Soon after, the plane took off again under the control of Jima, and Weianyan also jumped out of the cabin after reaching altitude.
Different from the round umbrellas used before, the parafoils they use now need to be opened by yourself, not to mention the height of the parachute.All have clear requirements.
Keeping an eye on the altimeter on his arm, when the number jumped to 1,500, a long parafoil unfolded above Wei Ran's head.
Pulling the control rings on both sides to control the direction, Wei Ran stared at the abandoned runway in the distance, gradually closing the distance between the two.
It was also from the morning when Weiran successfully landed on the runway that the training of the two of them also became one person learning to fly a plane and the other person practicing skydiving, and they rotated every half a day, little by little. challenges Culp and Teacher Dalia’s increasingly strict requirements.
The two of them were ups and downs here again and again. Professor Alexey, who was far away in Volgograd, reluctantly followed the enthusiastic Alexander and Ralph who acted as a guide on the board. Flights to Finland.
Compared with Professor Alexei’s lack of optimism, Alexander is full of confidence. During this week, after several phone calls with Noah, an old man in Finland, he had successfully obtained the identity of the investor of the joke-like movie and a yet-to-be-determined movie role.
As for why this shrewd businessman wanted to act in a movie, Professor Alexei didn’t see it for a while, but Zhou Shujin, who has also been in the business world for so many years, heard about it. Then he reacted immediately.
In addition, under the instigation of his wife, Professor Alexei reluctantly and shamelessly rushed to Finland with his boss to prepare to participate in the amateur actor selection for this movie.
Back to Inta, after two weeks of intense and fulfilling study, the time has entered the end of May, and Teacher Dalia has also completed Wei Ran and Jima. After the psychological test once a day, the final assessment task was announced.
“This assessment is very simple”
Teacher Dalia said with a smile, “Jima is responsible for driving the plane, Victor is responsible for navigation, and Culp and I are just passengers. You need to climb over the Ural Mountains to go to the abandoned military base. After arriving, Victor parachuted into the middle of the two buildings.
On the return trip, the two of you swapped jobs. Jima needed to parachute into the hot spring camp. Those tourists will definitely be happy to see your performance. As for Victor, you need to land the plane directly at Inta Airport." Before Teacher Dalia finished speaking, Culp followed. "Skydiving at a height of 2,000 meters and opening the parachute at 600 meters. Is there any problem?"
"No problem!" Weiran and Jima responded in unison.
"Since there is no problem, let's set off at night." Teacher Dalia said the last condition with a smile.
“Madman!” Wei Ran and Jima cursed in their hearts, but tried hard to keep their faces calm, for fear that the two madmen would see something and continue to make it more difficult for them.
"One last thing"
Culp finally said with a smile, "Starting next month, our courses will be carried out again at the Hongqi Forest Farm. ButThe skydiving and fixed-wing aircraft piloting courses for the two of you cannot stop. There will be an assessment waiting for you in September. To be honest, I'm looking forward to the time when any of you fail. "
Still not giving Wei Ran and Jima a chance to talk, Teacher Dalia pointed to the tent beside the track, "I will give you two hours to rest now, and we will set off after dark. "
"Victor, come with me. "Culp stopped Wei Ran who was about to leave, but Jima seemed to have thought of something and immediately quickened his pace.
Unexplained, he followed Culp to the dilapidated tower, and Wei Ran slipped out of the opponent's hands. I took two pieces of A4 paper.
“What is this? ”
Wei Ran looked at the A4 paper in his hand with confusion. This paper was a Russian file. There was a photo in the upper right corner of the file. The person in the photo was a man who looked fourteen years old. A teenage Asian with a serious face.
Looking at the introduction next to the photo, this man turned out to be a Japanese smuggler, who specialized in smuggling wild animal furs and other items. Smuggler of bear paws, bear bile and mammoth tusks
Turning to the second page, Wei Ran couldn't help but frown. This man was smuggling not only four-legged animals, but two. Girl with legs!
“This person is your quarterly assessment target”
Culp lit a cigarette and looked at the scenery outside through the drafty window, puffing out clouds. Wu said, "This man will rush to Yakutsk in nine days to buy furs, mammoth tusks, bear paws, and, of course, those beautiful girls in Yakutsk who dream of studying, working, or smuggling immigrants. "
"What do you need me to do? "Wei Ran, who had already guessed the approximate answer, asked knowingly.
"Kill him before he leaves"
Karp turned around and looked at Wei Ran, "Yakutsk Local gang members and the police have been bribed by him, so if you don't want to be sent to jail, it's best if no one gets caught. "
"I refuse," Wei Ran said without thinking, "I don't want to kill anyone. "
"Don't want to kill people? Culp looked at Wei Ran with great interest, "If you don't want to kill anyone, where did the gold sand you used to pay your tuition come from?" ”
“Picked up from the Volga River”
Wei Ran replied without any psychological barriers. Anyway, the corpse had already been exploded when the abandoned correctional camp was blasted. If you break it into pieces, you don’t have to worry about what will be found out.
“Then just pick it up again. If you refuse this assessment, you don’t need to participate in the second year’s course. "With that said, Culp took out two tickets and an old-fashioned mobile phone from his arms and handed them to Weiran, and then walked towards the stairs.
"No need to discuss? "Wei Ran stood at the top of the stairs and asked.
"No need to discuss"
Culp made a phone call gesture, "The ticket is to Chita, waiting for you. When I got to Chita, I used that mobile phone to make calls and save money.If you have a good number, someone will send you to Yakutsk. As long as you can successfully complete the assessment, if you still call that number, someone will send you back to Chita safely. ”
Before he finished speaking, Karp’s figure had been completely blocked by the spiral staircase. Standing at the entrance of the stairs, Wei Ran looked at the two round-trip tickets from Volgograd to Chita in his hand, and frowned. After thinking about it for a moment, Jima stuffed it all into the inner pocket of his jacket along with the old-fashioned mobile phone.
Back in the warm tent, Jima looked at Wei Ran hesitantly, and hesitated for a long time. He refrained from saying anything.
On the other hand, Wei Ran didn't have much psychological fluctuations. To him, even if the other person was not a smuggler, it was just because he was a little devil. Enough.
But this does not mean that he is willing to be forced to kill by Culp, even if he can guess that the other party is probably to take care of his own feelings, so he deliberately chose such a vicious person. Neither can the little devil.
Suppressing the trace of disgust in his heart, Wei Ran silently prepared for the assessment after dark. In the cabin of the plane on the runway, Dalia. He glanced at Culp who came in with gloating, "Let me guess, Victor rejected your assessment task? "
Culp nodded indifferently, "I did refuse, but I believe he will definitely complete this assessment. "
"Actually, there's no need at all," Dalia said, holding a cigarette in her mouth. "You don't need to be so serious and responsible at all. Just teach him everything that needs to be taught in three years. As for the future, , His life and death..."
"It's necessary"
Culp closed the hatch and said seriously, "I don't want to teach a rookie who has never seen blood. Not a good thing for him. What if Captain... forget it, just pretend I didn't say it. "
Dalia helplessly wiped out the cigarette butts and asked nonchalantly, "Who is following this time? "
"How about Galkin? Culp replied casually, "He is the closest. If there is an accident, at least we can bring Victor back alive." ”
“As long as he doesn’t drink too much,” Dalia muttered to herself, which seemed to be her acquiescence to the former’s arrangement.
