Chapter 4: Pilots, especially fighter pilots, are precious

In any country.

Pilots, especially those who are able to serve in the Air Force, are highly skilled talents.

Therefore, the selection criteria have always been very strict.

Especially in China.

Although there is a large gap in pilots in China, the population base is there.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the domestic selection of pilots is "one in ten thousand".

and.

Even if you successfully pass all the rigorous selections and are admitted to various air force academies, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

Because even if you go to college, if your performance is not as expected, you will be eliminated.

It wasn't that I was expelled from school, but I was forced to transfer to another major.

For example, if one is not suitable to continue studying flying due to physical or technical reasons, he or she will be transferred to military academies such as the Air Force Engineering University to study ground undergraduate majors such as aviation control and agency staff.

It is because the selection process is harsh and the elimination rate is high.

This is why air force pilots are so precious.

Especially fighter pilots.

According to estimates by foreign military experts, training a modern fighter pilot requires the cost of gold equivalent to the pilot's own weight.

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all.

For example, in the country.

It costs a lot to train a qualified fighter pilot.

For example, J-10 and J-11 are both fourth-generation aircraft. The total cost of flying these fourth-generation aircraft for one hour is about 30 RMB.

Generally speaking.

Only those with more than 1000 hours of flying time can be considered as veteran pilots.

Taking 1000 hours as an example, if you want to train a skilled and experienced veteran pilot, you will need at least 3 million RMB.

If we add in all the miscellaneous training and preparation during college, aviation school, and after joining the army, the conservative estimate is that it would cost 35 billion RMB.

Much more expensive than a pilot's own weight in gold.

So the Air Force is the real money-eating beast.

Especially the modern air force, not every country can afford it.

And the physical examination selection will be at 8 o'clock this morning.

It is just the most preliminary stage of all screening.

It can be considered the first step in a long march.

This year's physical examination for Qianzhou Province's Air Force recruitment was conducted at Qianyang No. 1 Middle School.

7:30 am.

When the bus carrying Jiang Chen and others arrived at Qianyang No. 1 Middle School, the place was already crowded.

The air force recruitment work in Qianzhou Province is carried out by the Air Force Chengdu Recruitment and Selection Center.

Because the "territory" area of ​​Qianzhou Province is relatively small, it only has 9 prefectures, cities and counties, and the population is not large, just over million.

Therefore, the number of people who register for the college entrance examination in Qianzhou Province every year is not as many as those in neighboring provinces, only a mere 300,000.

This results in the number of fresh graduates signing up for the Air Force recruitment being much smaller than that in neighboring provinces.

the first two years.

The sudden appearance of the J-20 Vily has set off a wave of air force fever.

But two years later, this enthusiasm was extinguished by the high admission score.

Therefore, the number of students taking the Air Force recruitment physical examination across the province this year is several times less than in the previous two years.

If it was the year before last and last year, there were at least four to five thousand people taking part in the Air Force recruitment physical examination.

But this year, look ahead.

Although the school playground was also crowded with people.

But a conservative estimate is that there are only about a thousand people.

There were only about a thousand people standing on the playground, which was still quite spectacular.

So when Jiang Chen and his friends got off the bus, they were still shocked by the huge crowds of people on the playground.

"Ah, why are there so many people?" "There are only about thirty people from our Qixingguan District, why does it feel like there are thousands of people here?"

"Thirty people in one county is considered a lot. There are dozens of counties in Qianzhou Province."

"So many people signed up, but only 10 to 20 people are admitted each year. I suddenly felt a lot of pressure."

"Alas, I don't have any hope in the first place, so I'll just treat it as a trip to Qianyang."
All kinds of whispering sounds suddenly rang out around.

Except for Jiang Chen, almost all the other students were worried.

It is clear.

It was the first time I saw so many "competitors" and I was scared.

Jiang Chen didn't react much.

What's the reaction?
It’s not too late to be happy.

It’s already good that only about a thousand people signed up this year.

The year before last and last year were truly hellish in difficulty.

As for next year?

Because the admission score this year is low, the admission score next year will increase slightly by a few dozen points.

So it was only this school year that Jiang Chen dared to sign up.

Change it to any other school year.

Based on his current achievements.

Haha, go to bed.

After everyone got off the bus, the teacher in charge led the group to the playground and asked them to stand at the "Luzhou" position.

It didn't take long.

A soldier in an air force uniform walked up to the podium with a microphone. After looking around, he said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet."

The noisy sound of 'buzz buzz buzz' immediately quieted down.

"Today is the first round of physical examinations for the 2013 academic year for the major air force academies. I will only explain the physical examination items once. If anyone does not listen carefully, no one is obliged to repeat it to you. Therefore, you must remember every word I say next. Did you hear clearly?"

The voice was stern.

It can be regarded as a little military shock to these students who are ignorant of the world.

"Listen clearly."

There were sporadic noises on the playground.

The soldier frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

"Today's physical examination consists of three parts, namely vision examination, appearance examination, and psychological counseling examination. We adopt the single-subject elimination system, which means that if one part fails, you will be eliminated."

"The physical examination order has been sent to the teachers in charge of each county. After gathering on the playground, the teachers in charge can take the students to the classroom to rest. Someone will notify the county whose turn it is."

"All actions must be carried out under command. If anyone makes a scene or does not follow the rules, they will be disqualified from the physical examination."
After the young officer finished explaining the precautions, he waved his hand and shouted, "Disband."

Students from various counties, led by their teachers, went to the classroom to wait for notification.

There are 56 counties in Qianzhou Province.

Qixingguan District had good luck and ranked 7th.

In other words.

At most, it will be the turn of students from Qixingguan District to have their physical examinations in one or two hours.

After entering the classroom, Jiang Chen found a seat and sat down.

Stretched.

Then he said to a classmate next to him, "Brother, when it's our turn, please call me. I got up too early this morning and I'm a little sleepy now."

The other party was a little surprised, "You can actually sleep?"

Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled. "Why did you get up so early? Why can't you sleep?"

The other party gave him a thumbs up and said, "Awesome."

"I was so nervous last night that I tossed and turned for most of the night before I fell asleep. Now I'm very excited."

Jiang Chen curled his lips, "Why should I be so nervous? The physical examination is based on hard indicators. If you can pass, then pass. If you can't, even the God of Heaven can't pass you."

"That's what I said, but... Well, go to sleep, I'll call you when the time comes."

Jiang Chen then smiled and said, "Thank you."
