Li Hai is a high-yield inert explosives pilot. He usually doesn't show off his skills, and sometimes his performance is unsatisfactory. But once he is lit and explodes, the power produced will surprise everyone, including himself.
Endless.
In other words, he is a pressure pilot. The greater the pressure, the better his performance. The premise is that his psychological quality can keep up with the high level.
After going through the early stages of his solo career, and experiencing the low point of unsatisfactory performance in the Flying Sharks training team, and through Li Zhan's guidance, his understanding has been very clear, and he knows how to clearly understand what should be kept in mind and what should be done.
Let it go as a fart.
At this moment, without being able to contact the ground to learn the specific location of the fishing boat in distress, he very calmly maintained the course and altitude and flew toward the sea area where the incident occurred.
He was in a hurry when taking off and couldn't make full preparations as usual. Li Hai could only use a highlighter to briefly standardize the navigation information on the aeronautical map and put it in the side pocket of his flight pants. He freed one hand to take it.
After leaving the flight chart, I looked at the navigation information using the lights in the cockpit, and compared it with the flight data displayed on the instrument. After confirming that there was no problem with the heading, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After flying at cruising speed for about ten minutes, Li Hai began to descend. What appeared in front of him would be worse weather than when he took off, but he could not see the thick cumulonimbus clouds with the naked eye. The fighter jet headed straight ahead without hesitation.
After plunging in, he was immediately thrown into the mixer again. The wings on both sides shook violently up and down, and the fuselage made a "creep" sound that only occurs when maneuvering under heavy overload.
In the chaotic and strong airflow, Li Hai almost had to continuously control the rudder, and even had to push the throttle back and forth from time to time to keep the fighter plane barely stable.
He did not realize at all how bad the weather was that he was experiencing. The zero visibility made it impossible for him to judge the condition of the clouds, and the J-8F's airborne radar was unable to provide weather information.
On the radar screen of the tower, the red dot representing the J-8F was rapidly descending, and the pitch angle reached -30 degrees. This made Xue Zhengrong and others feel heartbroken. Such a posture may be that the pilot was controlling the fighter plane to dive.
altitude, it is also possible that the fighter plane lost control and fell into a dive.
Xue Zhengrong said to himself: "He must be right to pass through the cumulonimbus clouds and reach low altitude as soon as possible."
Suddenly remembering something, Xue Zhengrong turned to ask the weatherman, "How is the storm? What is the low-altitude condition of the sea area where the incident occurred?"
The weatherman quickly replied, "The central wind force reached level 12 and continues to strengthen! The sea area where the incident occurred is already in the eye of the typhoon! The scope of the typhoon eye... is ten kilometers! It continues to expand!"
After heaving a sigh of relief, Xue Zhengrong said, "Dongsan is about to enter the eye of the typhoon."
The airflow within the eye of the typhoon is stable, and Li Hai is at least temporarily safe. At this moment, Xue Zhengrong no longer thinks about searching for the fishing boat in distress. The current situation is not whether Li Hai can continue to perform the mission, but whether Li Hai can return safely!
The terrible thing is that Xue Zhengrong has no way to contact Li Hai, otherwise he will not hesitate to ask Li Hai to return to the sea and land before the storm sweeps over the Forgotten Reef!
For eleven long seconds, the descent rate reached 700 meters per second.
Li Hai didn't even think about it. When the fighter plane relaxed, he quickly leveled the plane. His first move was to look at the horizon instrument to ensure that the fighter plane was in level flight. He firmly remembered Xue Zhengrong's warning and trusted the instrument completely.
Although at this time due to the effect of inertia, he felt that the fighter plane was continuing to descend.
If you rely on feeling, you will have to pull the lever. The result is that the elevation angle is too high and the vehicle will stall.
He quickly felt that the airflow was very stable. After quickly checking the navigation chart to determine his current position, his first judgment was very accurate - it was probably a typhoon. Refer to the previously obtained fishing boats in distress.
Li Hai determined that the target was in the eye of the typhoon.
After pulling down the night vision goggles, Li Hai carefully and slowly turned while reducing altitude and speed. As a result, the fighter plane tilted slightly, and he searched the sea surface through the cockpit glass on the left side.
The sea in the eye of the typhoon was not calm, but it was difficult for Li Hai to see these details. What appeared in front of him was a dark patch of darkness. The instantaneous light brought by an occasional flash of lightning could provide extremely limited visibility, and at night
Visual inspection is not a panacea.
After weighing it up, Li Hai decided to continue to lower the flight altitude and shorten the distance to the sea. This sacrificed the visual search range and increased the risk of hitting the sea.
Li Hai flew in a circle, searching from inside to outside, and to all directions.
Intelligence showed that the fishing boat in distress had a displacement of thousands of tons and was a large fishing boat with a length of 70 to 80 meters. Li Hai's flying height was only 300 meters. From this distance, the fishing boat in distress should be a very obvious target.
However, when Li Hai encountered strong airflow during his last circle, he still found no trace of the fishing boat in distress. Encountering strong airflow meant that he was already on the edge of the eye of the typhoon. The eye of the typhoon is constantly moving, and the fishing boat in distress even if it loses power
It will not stop there, so another possibility arises - the previously obtained position of the fishing boat in distress is out of date.
Li Hai secretly complained. He had lost contact with the ground and was unable to obtain the latest location of the fishing boat in distress. What should he do? If the fishing boat in distress had not sunk and the positioning device on the ship was not damaged, it would have continued to send signals to the Forgotten Reef.
It can be received. Both ships and land terminals use the Beidou satellite system, which is very reliable.
Xue Zhengrong was also very anxious at this time. He could see the position of the fishing boat in distress very clearly. The flashing dot was still there, which meant that the fishing boat in distress was still floating on the sea. If it was always on, it meant that the boat had disembarked.
Shen.
Xue Zhengrong really wanted to have the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique so that he could tell Li Hai: "Dong San! The fishing boat in distress is twenty kilometers in front of you! Just due east!"
But when he calmed down, he instead prayed that Li Hai would not continue flying eastward, because that was the area with the strongest winds. No fighter jet could fly safely in level 12 winds!
"Return! Return! Dongsan, return soon! If you don't return, it will be too late!" Xue Zhengrong gritted his teeth and screamed over and over in his heart, hoping that Li Hai could make a calm choice.
Of course, Li Hai couldn't hear Xue Zhengrong's scream in his heart. He was still thinking about how to conduct the next search. Turning on the airborne radar was one way, but in such bad weather, the performance of the airborne radar was seriously affected.
It is unclear whether the restrictions will work.
Another question before us is - in what direction should the search be conducted.
