Chapter 80 Double Jump?!
!
Inside the simulated cabin, Xu Ge, carrying a parachute bag, sat on the benches on both sides with others.
Xu Can checked the parachute bag on each person's chest one by one. After checking each one, he would pat the other person's parachute bag and then give a thumbs up: "Good!"
The person being checked also responded loudly.
"Okay, now we're entering the final step, leaving the machine!"
Xu Can stood outside the simulated hatch. "When we jump down, everyone must count from 00001 to 00006. Is that clear?"
"clear!"
"Li Dongshui, can you tell me why we need to count these six numbers?"
"Report, if the main parachute does not open after more than 6 seconds, be prepared to manually deploy the reserve parachute!"
"That's right! Everyone, remember, every number has four zeros, no more, no less!" Xu Can turned around and connected the simulation cabin to the elevated simulation tower. "Everyone, step forward in turn!"
Everyone stood up and lined up, walking one by one towards the diving platform in front of the tower.
Drop! Drop! Drop!
The indicator light on the bulkhead turned yellow, and everyone began to bend their waists and legs, lining up to walk towards the tower.
Xu Ge took two deep breaths in the team and slowly emptied his mind.
The next simulated jump is the ground exercise that is closest to the real jump. If I can pass this level, I should have no problem when doing the real jump.
In front, the soldiers entered the tower one by one and jumped down.
Some veterans even turned around and laughed at each other: "We can bungee jump again!"
Li Dongshui was in front of Xu Ge and it was soon his turn.
Xu Ge heard Li Dongshui talking to Guo Yuanshuai, the assistant trainer, from behind: "Deputy squad leader, this is too high! Can I slow down a bit? Oh my god!"
Guo Yuanshuai kicked Li Dongshui out and said, "Count loudly!"
“0001, 0002…”
"Damn, there's one missing 0, don't you know?"
Amidst Guo Yuanshuai's cursing, Xu Ge stepped onto the elevated tower.
Snap!
Guo Yuanshuai buckled the lock on Xu Ge's back and said, "Go forward!"
The elevated simulation tower is 15 meters above the ground and has two cableways running through it.
Xu Ge came to the diving platform and looked down. Several veterans were providing protection on both sides.
He felt that this was no different from the wimpy version of bungee jumping in his previous life.
"Do you want me to help you?" Guo Yuanshuai came behind Xu Ge and asked.
"Deputy squad leader, no need!"
Xu Ge hugged the parachute bag tightly, closed his eyes, and jumped out with his legs together.
Buzz!
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Xu Ge's brain go blank. He subconsciously yelled, "00001, 00002, 00003..."
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge pulling force came from his back, slowing down his falling speed. This was the beginning of the simulation of parachute opening.
Xu Ge quickly adjusted his posture in the air and opened his eyes, only to find that he was already sliding down the cableway quickly.
At the end of the grass, Li Dongshui was lying on the grass, not knowing what to do. Seeing Xu Ge coming over, he quickly rolled to the side.
"Pay attention to landing!" Luo Shan shouted a reminder from the side.
Xu Ge quickly put his legs together and half squatted, then when the time was right, he let go of the pull ring in his hand, snap!
Fall steadily!
"pretty!"
Luo Shan turned around and glanced at Li Dongshui with disdain, "Look at him, and then look at you, the dog-eating-shit-eating-guts look!"
Li Dongshui: . . .
Xu Ge was also excited: Holy crap! It worked!
I'm awesome! I'm the coolest paratrooper!
On the elevated platform a few dozen meters away, Xu Can and Guo Yuanshuai were both looking at this side.
"Deputy Captain Guo, I feel there should be no problem with these two new recruits. Xu Ge is not to be mentioned, and Li Dongshui is also fine except for his unstable landing. It seems that he won't fall at least." Xu Can said with a smile.
Guo Yuanshuai also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I hope everything goes well tomorrow!"
Xu Can nodded vigorously: "Yes! Don't worry, Deputy Guo, it will definitely go smoothly!"
. . .
. . .
The next morning, everyone gathered at the neighboring Minggang Airport, carrying their own parachute bags.
Four transport planes are already in position on the runway.
Chief Instructor Zhu Haiguang reiterated the important points to note during the parachute jump. Then, pointing upwards, he said to everyone, "It takes 19 seconds to free fall from 800 meters to the ground!"
"How did this time come about? Someone paid the price of blood and life to measure it!"
"Skydiving is not a joke, it can kill people!"
The veterans were fine after hearing this, but the new recruits all looked uneasy.
Zhu Haiguang continued, "Of course, as long as each of you fully abides by all regulations and acts according to orders, there will be no problems and a safe landing!"
"Are you clear about everything?"
"Clear! Clear! Clear!"
"Get ready to board!"
The battalions began organizing their boarding. Guo Yuanshuai drove his electric scooter to the Sixth Company and found Xu Ge and Li Dongshui. "I'll be in charge from below. Don't be afraid once you two get on board!"
"Um!"
"Xu Ge, I don't have any reminders. Ah Shui, try to find a soft place to jump before you land."
"I'll try my best, class vice-chairman." Li Dongshui looked so pitiful that he almost cried like a little Siquan.
Guo Yuanshuai hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered, "If you really can't stop at that time, remember not to lean forward, but lean back. It's better to fall on your buttocks, understand?"
"Um!"
"Okay, let's go up!"
"yes!"
The five people from Class 9 were the last to enter the cabin and sit in the inner seats.
After Xu Can counted the number of people, he immediately gave the signal for takeoff. The cabin slowly closed and then began to accelerate on the runway.
The next moment, the nose of the plane lifted up and soared into the sky.
After a few tens of seconds of feeling weightless, the plane entered a level flight state and everyone in the cabin relaxed.
Xu Can pulled out a loud speaker from somewhere and shouted, "Everyone listen up! We will fly in the sky twice. We will jump on the second lap. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Is everyone nervous now?"
“Don’t be nervous!”
"Okay, since you're nervous, how about we sing a song?"
Everyone: ...
Xu Can handed the speaker to Xu Ge beside him: "Come on, Xu Ge, you start!"
Xu Ge took the speaker and blew it: "Hello! Hello! The cold wind blows the fallen leaves, get ready to sing..."
"Forget it, forget it, I won't sing anymore!"
Xu Can snatched the speaker back and glared at Xu Ge angrily, "You can't sing this song while skydiving!"
The veterans also looked at Xu Ge and cursed at him.
"Damn, isn't singing this too unlucky?"
"The first sentence is like falling leaves, we are going to skydive, brother!"
Xu Ge shrugged: "I'm just trying to lighten the mood. Look, are you guys less nervous now?"
"I'm not nervous at all!"
Okay, I'm nervous, Xu Ge said silently in his heart.
He didn't know what was going on, but the closer he got to parachuting, the faster his heart beat.
On the other hand, Li Dongshui was already picking his fingernails out of boredom.
Suddenly, the fuselage tilted and the transport plane entered the second circle.
Drop! Drop!
The yellow indicator light is on.
Xu Can began to check everyone's parachute bag one by one from beginning to end, and then helped everyone hang the draw rope.
Just like during the simulation training, Xu Can clapped his hands and gave a thumbs-up after checking each person, and the other person responded in the same way.
Soon, Xu Can came to Xu Ge, and after checking him, he patted his chest vigorously and gave him a thumbs up: "Good!"
Xu Ge opened his mouth: "Ah!"
Only then did he realize that his voice had cracked due to nervousness!
Drop! Drop!
The green indicator light is on.
The cabin door slowly opened, and in an instant, strong winds and noise rushed into the cabin.
For the next moment, Xu Ge's mind was in a mess, and he mechanically stood up with the others.
His sniffing skills seemed to be ineffective at this time, and his sense of smell, hearing and vision, which he was proud of, all became dull.
On the other side of the hatch, soldiers jumped out one by one, and from time to time someone would let out a strange cry of excitement.
Soon, Xu Ge was pushed to the front by Li Dongshui behind him.
Kaiyoumu in front of him turned around and grinned, "Come on!"
Then he jumped out in a cool manner.
The view in front of Xu Ge suddenly became clear, and the bright sky appeared before his eyes.
At this time, because the distance from the ground was too high, his pupils could not focus, and there was nothing in his field of vision. Xu Ge was instantly enveloped by a huge sense of nothingness, and boundless fear began to spread in his heart.
"Shit! It's broken!"
Xu Ge shouted in his heart, and the next moment he felt his legs go weak and cold sweat broke out.
Xu Can noticed Xu Ge's abnormality and quickly moved closer, patting his helmet: "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"
Xu Ge tightly grasped the handrail above the cabin and said with difficulty: "I... I really can't do it anymore!"
Xu Can frowned and looked at Xu Ge for two seconds, then decisively removed the drawstring hook from his back: "Sit over there and take a rest!"
"Next!"
Li Dongshui staggered to the cabin door, looked at Xu Ge and then looked outside, and suddenly jumped out with his eyes closed, the shouts in his mouth still echoing in the cabin.
"Oh my god! Deputy! You must catch me..."
After everyone finished dancing, Xu Can came to Xu Ge and saw him mumbling something. He squatted down and listened carefully for a while.
"Altitude 850 meters, no wind, acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s, T equals square root of 1700 divided by g, landing in 13 seconds..."
Xu Can was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "You still have the mind to memorize formulas at this time?"
Xu Ge looked up at Xu Can, his voice filled with tears: "Xu Can, I can't go to Hidden Wolf anymore!"
Xu Can's heart trembled when he saw the look in the eyes of the big boy in front of him, and he blurted out: "Don't talk nonsense, it will definitely work!"
. . .
. . .
An hour later, Minggang Airport.
The transport plane landed slowly, and the team waiting on the side to prepare for the second group of boarding had begun to line up.
The hatch opened and Xu Ge walked out with his head lowered, following Xu Can.
He felt the surprised or strange eyes around him, which made his face hot.
On the side, Guo Yuanshuai, Liu Guoping, Luo Shan and Lao Wang all came over.
Xu Ge looked at Guo Yuanshuai with an extremely grim expression: "Deputy Class Leader, I..."
"Get in the car first, and talk to the side later. Don't delay them from boarding the plane!" Guo Yuanshuai pointed to the back of his electric scooter.
"yes!"
After Guo Yuanshuai pulled everyone to a corner, he called Xu Can aside and began to question him.
Xu Ge was sitting in the car. Although everyone spoke very quietly, their words still reached his ears.
"Isn't the training usually going well? Why did it become like this?" Guo Yuanshuai frowned.
Luo Shan: "Yeah, I saw him being even steadier than a veteran during simulated training!"
Xu Can whispered, "I feel like Xu Ge has been acting a little strange since he got on the plane. When it was time to jump out, his hands and feet were cold, his face was pale, and he was sweating!"
"This probably has nothing to do with training. It's a psychological problem." Lao Wang said, "Is Xu Ge afraid of heights?"
They all looked at Guo Yuanshuai, who nodded. "My classmates told me about it, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."
"If it doesn't work, jump again!" said Lao Wang.
Liu Guoping, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "I know a little bit about people who are severely afraid of heights. If you don't dare to jump the first time, you will only get more and more afraid after that!"
Lao Wang: "Then push him down by force!"
Guo Yanshuai immediately became angry and raised his hand to slap him, but was hurriedly hugged by Liu Guoping and Luo Shan.
"Wang Lai, you want to die, don't you?" Guo Yuanshuai cursed. "Xu Ge is my soldier. What the hell does he have to do with you? What the hell are you talking about here?"
Lao Wang was speechless: "Squad Leader, I'm doing this for his own good. If he can't pass this level, he won't be able to enter Tianlang, let alone Yinlang..."
"Then don't go in! I didn't want him to go in the first place. If he goes, I don't know what you'll make of him..."
"Deputy, I'm willing to dance again!"
Xu Ge clenched his fists and stood up, "I must jump down this time!"
Liu Guoping frowned: "Xu Ge, if you are not careful, you might faint in the air. It's too dangerous!"
Xu Can suddenly stepped forward and said, "We can do a double dance first!"
