Chapter 117 No Holidays for the Spring Festival
"Haha, Liu Wei, I played well just now!"
I just watched a contest through the projection screen, and did not disturb the virtual confrontation between the two players. Seeing that the two sides decided to win, Long Yun turned his head and grinned at Liu Wei:
"I haven't seen you for such a long time. I just saw the showdown between you two. I am indeed very skilled in my skills, which is gratifying."
I just met my teammate who had been working with me for a long time and was also the deputy captain of "Chenlong". Long Yun did not say any polite greetings. The so-called "three sentences are not separated from our business". As soon as he came in, he saw the display, so he did not rush to disturb him. Instead, he greeted Angelababy who heard the sound. The two said a few words, and stood there alone looking at the screen in a daze. They found that their technical skills were obviously not comparable to their status before the rematch, so they gave them a few sincere compliments.
The tone of praise seemed a bit old-fashioned, but from Long Yun, a legendary contestant, others might not feel anything. Liu Wei, who had created "Chenlong" with him earlier, was very happy.
Liu Wei, a young man who has been working hard all the way from an amateur, is certainly very clear about Long Yun's super strength and straightforward personality. He knows that he will not praise people randomly, nor will he deliberately motivate him. He says whatever he says. Since the captain says this now, then his strength and Bian Chao will indeed be greatly improved than at the beginning of the rematch. Seeing that Bian Chao also got off the simulator, he raised his hand and waved it to the other side:
"Hey, Xiaochao, the captain is here!"
"Captain Long!——You, you are back, come and shake your hands!"
Compared with Liu Wei, who had just met Long Yun, Bian Chao, who had a little understanding of the "Chenlong" number one experience recently, had obviously been a little slow to react. However, Liu Wei, who was immersed in joy, did not see it. Long Yun next to him was very clear. He shook hands tightly with the young man who had just won:
"Bian Chao, I performed very well just now!
I just told Liu Wei that your two have improved rapidly and deserve praise, haha.”
"Where, Captain Long, if Team Vice President Liu hadn't taken me at the beginning, I could have figured out the temper of the 'Raptors' now!"
Before, he had been using the su-27sk on "Uranus". After Bian Chao came to "Chenlong", he turned to the J-10a "Raptor". He also said sincerely. After all, for an aviation athlete, competition is not equivalent to fighting. If the fighter's temperament is not clear, in the tense and fierce confrontation, he cannot use the ultimate performance of the car to win.
Look at Liu Wei and Bian Chao, two young men who were in high spirits, and then look at himself. He is not old, but he is the oldest in "Chenlong". Long Yun can clearly feel the vitality of these young players, such a spirit of not fearing strong enemies, daring to fight and fighting. Long Yun was the same back then, but now he has experienced countless life-and-death battles. The blade may be sharper. The momentum that he was desperate and striving forward has changed unknowingly.
This change is probably the reshaping of people by war?
In other words, it is a transformation from a novice to a veteran, so who can explain it clearly?
After many days, they gathered together and chatted with the team members in the training room. Long Yun and Liu Wei and others walked towards the exclusive hangar of "Chenlong". They said hello to the long-lost "Raptors" fighter jets, and also checked the team's equipment maintenance and other daily work as the captain.
In winter, the sky is blue as if it is washed by the sky. When facing the rising sun, the hangar door is opened, and a clear sunlight shines on the smooth concrete floor.
It was bright and the wind was blowing. In the busy "Chenlong" hangar, the pilots who arrived early in the morning were busy. Liu Wei, who followed Long Yun, introduced the situation to the captain. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, most teams in the base have adjusted their training schedules. Some of the players have gone home for the New Year, and those who stayed at the base have almost no training. They are rushing to accumulate energy and prepare for a series of aviation competitions that will start after the New Year.
"Oh, so, when I came just now, I saw a group of fighter planes take off. That's it?"
"Is that right? Maybe it's the fighter jet test after the overhaul. Brother Long, generally speaking, no team will be busy with training before the Spring Festival. On the one hand, it is to prepare for the competition after the New Year. On the other hand, after New Year's Eve, many tourists will come to the base to experience flights. Some teams with few competitions are preparing for these things and can also generate income."
"That's it, haha;—but it may also be 'Wangjing', what do you think."
"Oh, yes! Captain Dragon,"
When Long Yun heard Long Yun talk about "Wangjing", of course, the few people present knew that in the previous ending of Ift North China Region qualifiers, in addition to "Chenlong", the other winner in the semi-district of the rematch was "Wangjing". These two teams will also represent North China to participate in the national selection competition after the New Year; in a sense, the two teams are both comrades-in-arms and opponents. After all, ten strong teams participated in the competition, and in the end, one team could only lead the national team and then participate in the qualifying competition of the Eastern League, and then they could qualify for Ift.
From the qualifiers to ift, there are two high thresholds. The players of "Chenlong" are full of confidence in such a competitive path where strong enemies are fed around.
I saw two J-10a fighter jets in the hangar and communicated with the pilots for a while. At noon that day, Long Yun invited everyone in the hotel in the base, and thanked and said goodbye to his colleagues who were about to return home. After all, for "Chenlong", who only had two "Raptors" and had to prepare for the national trial, he had no spare time to operate some private business. During the Chinese New Year, there was no need for air training. The players could practice on the simulator for the time being, and it was just a good opportunity to take a holiday for the people in the team.
"Brother Long, since I have returned to China this time, can I participate in the next national trial competition?"
At the dining table, after three rounds of wine, everyone ate almost the same thing. After seeing the pilot and others at the entrance of the hotel, Long Yun went upstairs with a few young people to sit upstairs, sat down in the tea restaurant with mottled sunshine and quiet environment. Each person ordered a cup of shallow tea and chatted while savoring.
In the afternoon, in the huge Beijing aviation training base, the roar of the engine that had never stopped in the past had disappeared. Looking out from the glass window, there were no people on the open ground. The parking lot was rarely deserted. It was temporarily far away from the fighter planes flying high. The crowded noise of the audience, Long Yun also temporarily forgot about his thoughts, sitting in the armchair and chatting with Liu Wei, Bian Chao and Angelababy in front of him.
Oh, if you think about it, how long ago did it happen when I sat here chatting last time?
Looking back, since the October preliminary competition ended, he has been busy with things that have nothing to do with aviation competition. He first participated in PRSFT, won a championship for "May" led by Lin Feng, and then ran to the Middle East to fight a civil war. The experience in the real world is roughly like this, not to mention the parallel world. At this moment, sitting and chatting in the warm and comfortable tea restaurant that makes people feel a little lazy. Long Yun was very comfortable. Inadvertently, he found that he had been immersed in it and liked the feeling of being unrestrained and relaxed physically and mentally.
Yes, even if it is not as passionate as fierce battles in the sky, it is not as exciting as planning again and again. After all, people are a kind of social animal with rich emotions. The battle between swords and swords is just a helplessness to struggle and survive.
Who would abandon everything and indulge in it for normal minds?
After drinking tea and talking, he felt a lot of emotion. Long Yun was a little distracted for a moment. He smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stayed in the chair without moving. He just watched the conversations of several young people. It was not until Liu Wei once again asked him, "What are the arrangements after the New Year, can he participate in the selection competition in the team?" that he brought his vague thoughts back to reality. At the same time, he was reluctant to realize one thing about his life trajectory, even if he wanted to make decisions by himself, he still had some helplessness.
Speaking of the arrangement of "Chenlong", as the captain, of course, he must consider it thoroughly before talking about it:
"Well, we 'Chenlong', since we have entered the trial competition, we need to plan things carefully next.
As for me, haha, I finally returned to China. Whenever I had the chance, I would definitely participate in the competition with you two; but this is not good, well... it is a variable, so don't worry now.
However, the situation of the selection competition, Liu Wei, I heard you talk about before that there are some new changes in the competition system of this ift. So is the competition system of the "National Selection Competition" still the same as in previous competitions? To be honest, I really haven't had the opportunity to pay more attention recently. You can introduce the situation and then let's see if the personnel and equipment are all sufficient. If there is any problem, solve it quickly."
"Well, no problem, Brother Long!"
Hearing Long Yun's orders, Liu Wei, who was in a state of great enthusiasm, took out his tablet computer from his bag, analyzed and explained it with Angelababy, who was in the team. From the chat from all over the world to the competition arrangement of "Chenlong", the group of four people gathered in the tea restaurant, and time seemed to pass quickly.
The New Year is approaching, and New Year's Eve is just around the corner. Many people have already had their holidays in advance from their posts and embarked on the way home.
However, for some special industries and fronts, they still need to maintain their working status during the Spring Festival, which naturally includes the military system. The same is true for a regiment of the Fifth Air Division located in Miyun, a remote suburb of Beijing.
