Chapter 274: Skydiving is not as difficult as imagined
"Look, the steamed bun in your hand is almost twisted into a twist, and you have the nerve to talk about us?" Sun Ming said unhappily.

Zhang Jingyi quickly took a bite of the steamed bun and said proudly, "I have a good appetite. Do you think my mental quality is as bad as yours?"

"Lao Zhang, there's tofu pudding over there. If you want one, hurry up and grab a bowl. It will be gone soon."

At this time, someone shouted at him.

Zhang Jingyi stood up quickly.

Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "Give me a bowl."

Chen Xuanxuan, who was sitting with Jiang Chen, also said, "I want one too."

Zhang Jingyi picked up Sun Ming as soon as he heard this and said, "Do you think this guy has three heads and six arms? He has no sense at all."

Sun Ming looked helpless, "I'm not eating, what do you want me to do?"

That being said.

He still followed Zhang Jingyi reluctantly.

The tender and smooth tofu pudding is very appetizing.

It just so happens that everyone has no appetite right now, so eating a bowl of tofu pudding can whet the appetite.

"I didn't expect that the cafeteria in Xinyang is so humane. They even prepared tofu pudding for us. I have never seen tofu pudding in the cafeteria of the main campus." Chen Xuanxuan's face was full of anticipation.

Jiang Chen bit the steamed bun.

While replying, "I also like tofu pudding, it's spicy, fresh, tender and delicious, and it's very appetizing."

Chen Xuanxuan blinked and asked, "Isn't tofu pudding sweet?"

Jiang Chen???

Tofu pudding, sweet?

How could that thing possibly have anything to do with the word 'sweet'?

It's obviously spicy.

Scoop a bowl of tofu pudding, pour a spoonful of fiery red chili oil on it, and then add salt, MSG, peppercorns, coriander, minced garlic, minced green onion and crushed peanuts.
The child next door was greedy.

"Tofu pudding in the north is usually salty, so you two probably won't be able to have the spicy or sweet flavors you want." A classmate on the opposite side said with a smile.

Chen Xuanxuan was suddenly 'horrified'.

Jiang Chen was relieved a little, "Salty taste is good, I like salty taste."

in his cognition.

Salty = spicy.

nonsense.

Haven’t you heard that tofu pudding in the southwest region is added with salt?

Since salt has been added, it must taste salty.

But when Zhang Jingyi and Sun Ming came back with tens of thousands of salty tofu puddings with a delicate texture and strong bean flavor, Jiang Chen was also stunned.

Wait a moment.

Salty?

The northerners use marinade instead of chili peppers to make the food salty?
Zhang Jingyi thoughtfully placed 20,000 tofu puddings in front of Chen Xuanxuan and Jiang Chen, then picked up a bowl and started eating it in big mouthfuls. While eating, he exclaimed, "This thing is really appetizing. Hey, why don't you two eat it?"

Jiang Chen and Chen Xuanxuan looked at each other and silently put the tofu pudding aside.

It is indeed heresy.

He even ate the salty tofu pudding with marinade so much.

The military academy cafeteria is free.

You can eat as much as you want.

If you have a good appetite, you can have a whole cow.

The premise is that there is no waste.

So in the end, Jiang Chen and Chen Xuanxuan still gritted their teeth and finished the salty tofu pudding in front of them.

Chen Xuanxuan frowned, as if she was taking medicine, "How can there be such an inhuman food as salty tofu brain in the world?"

Zhang Jingyi immediately retorted, "What's wrong with salty taste? I think salty tastes good."

"You have to put sugar in tofu pudding." Chen Xuanxuan argued.

Zhang Jingyi was shocked, "Put sugar in it? Put sugar in tofu pudding, what kind of outrageous way of eating it is this?"

"Well, shouldn't tofu pudding be added with chili peppers?" Jiang Chen said weakly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stared at with contempt.

"You southerners are really heretics. You eat sweet tofu pudding and salty rice dumplings." Zhang Jingyi yelled.

Chen Xuanxuan also refused to give in. "You northerners are the heretics. If you don't eat salty zongzi, do you eat sweet ones?"

"We should eat sweet food. Dip the white rice dumplings in sugar. The kids next door are crying because of their greed."

Jiang Chen's face was full of curiosity.

Shouldn't Zongzi be "cured"? Zongzi is filled with cured meat.

So delicious!

However, he had no intention of getting involved in the "North-South dispute" between the two.

Because he felt that the southwest region seemed to be isolated and had nothing to do with the north and the south.

Although it is geographically in the south, the eating habits are very different from those in the real south.

The culture is even more unique.

So let's just stand aside from the 'Civil and Civil War'!
Every day's classes are fully scheduled.

It's even more crowded than at the main campus.

Because parachuting training is the most important of all subjects in the 'Survival Practice Course'.

So naturally it took up most of the time.

Ever since humans became conscious, they have been fascinated by and yearning for flying.

However, it was not until modern times that humans realized the "dream of flying".

But we still can only rely on external forces.

For example, flying a plane, skydiving

After all, humans don't have wings, so the "dream of flying" is actually an activity that goes against the laws of nature.

Therefore, if you want to realize the "dream of flying", you not only need the help of tools, such as wing suits, aircraft, parachutes, etc., but also have to undergo various arduous training.

Take skydiving, for example.

Before actually skydiving, you need to learn all kinds of theoretical knowledge about skydiving, learn how to fold the parachute bag, and do simulated landing training, etc.

Especially for paratroopers, they have much more to learn.

You need to pass through giant ladders, high-altitude broken bridges, rappelling, crossing natural chasms, climbing peaks and crossing dangers, etc.
However, since Jiang Chen and his team's expertise is not parachuting, they are not paratroopers.

As pilots, they only need to learn how to parachute.

Therefore, their ground training is relatively simple.

First, there are theoretical courses.

Instructor Li Xingyun completed it in half a day.

The second is folding umbrellas.

These "academic masters" successfully passed the level in just one or two hours.

Next comes the primary training.

There are two types of primary training.

The first is the standard action of skydiving - jumping from a two-meter-high diving platform into a sand pit.

But it's not just a random 'jump', it's a set of professional moves.
——Bend your waist slightly, tighten your abdomen, and bend your knees to 120 degrees. Keep your body bent at all angles from the time you jump off to the time you land.

The second is the psychological training before skydiving, also known as high-platform simulated weightlessness training, which is a training specifically for psychology and overcoming fear.

- Place an air cushion two or three meters thick under a platform more than ten meters high. When students hear the instructor shout the word "jump", they must jump off the platform without hesitation.

There must not be any hesitation or procrastination in the whole process.

High-platform simulated weightlessness training is, on the one hand, to train students' psychological qualities and help them overcome fear.

On the other hand, it allows students to feel and become familiar with the thrill of weightlessness in advance.

In addition to the platform, you can also use the airborne parachute simulator to simulate skydiving.

This is a high-tech product that has only been developed in recent years.

Without taking a plane to take off, you can truly feel the excitement and tension of skydiving, and you can also simulate various unexpected situations encountered during skydiving.

Before the invention of indoor airborne simulators, similar training was done using parachute towers.

As the name suggests, it is a very tall tower.

However, the accident rate of parachute towers is too high.

So after the indoor airborne parachute simulator was invented, it was quickly eliminated.

There are various auxiliary tools.

In particular, the airborne parachute indoor simulator can simulate skydiving.

So skydiving is not as difficult as you think.

If you are an amateur, you can learn it in a few days and practice it on the plane.

If it is an airborne soldier, the difficulty level will be higher, but it will only take one or two weeks.

Jiang Chen and his team are more professional than amateurs, but there is no need to rise to the level of paratroopers.

in between.

So you only need to train on the ground for a week or so before you can board the plane and skydive.
