Chapter 264: The Extreme of Extreme Sports! Direct Test Flight?!

Chen Rong's heart moved. Wingsuit flying?

Could it be that a hunter found it?

"Bai Falcon, so you know this person?" someone in the team asked.

Lu Senbao nodded: "This guy is called Dong Qiang. He and I both learned skateboarding from 01, so we are considered to be from the same compound."

Sun Tiantian glanced at Chen Rong, blinked, and whispered, "I think the way this Dong Qiang looks at 01 is not right. Does he like 01?"

Lu Senbao immediately understood and blurted out: "Isn't that normal? With 01's condition, there are so many people chasing her in the compound!"

Everyone knows that 01 is interested in Chen Rong, and these two are saying this on purpose to provoke Chen Rong.

The car entered the gate and the team members got off one by one. Dong Qiang and Chen Ai also stopped talking.

"Qiangzi, why are you here?" Lu Senbao was the first to greet.

"Abao, long time no see! I heard from Xiao Ai that you have become a captain, hahahaha!"

Dong Qiang smiled and said, "I was invited here by your captain. He said that some of you want to learn wing suit flying, so I'll be your instructor for a few days."

Dong Qiang intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the pronunciation of the word "please".

"Wingsuit flying?"

Lu Senbao was stunned and looked back at the team members, "Who among you wants to learn this?"

The team members were also confused and had no idea about this.

"Hello Coach Dong, I'm the captain Yan Wang. Thank you for your hard work in coming here this time!"

Chen Rong walked up to Dong Qiang, shook hands with him, and said with a smile.

After hearing what the other party said, Chen Rong naturally knew that this was the wing suit flying instructor that the hunter found for him.

"You want to learn wingsuit flying?!"

The team members all looked at Chen Rong in surprise, "Why are you learning this?"

"Coach Dong is now an official member of the Wingsuit Flying Association and is also a seeded athlete for this year's Olympics. He took time out of his busy schedule to teach you. You must cherish it!"

Chen Ai walked forward and introduced.

"We?" Lu Senbao didn't quite understand the situation. He looked at Chen Ai and then at Chen Rong.

"Is this a new subject at the base?"

Chen Rong was also a little confused. From what Chen Ai meant, he was not the only one learning wing suit flying this time?

"The hunter said that he thought what the King of Hell said made sense, and asked me to tell you that anyone who wants to learn can sign up." Chen Ai said with a smile.

"Yan Wang, what did you say to Hunter? Why did he agree to let us practice wingsuit flying?"

Lu Senbao looked at Chen Rong and asked.

Although the team members had never been exposed to wing suit flying, they had some understanding of the sport and knew that the military had not included this sport in its training courses due to safety issues.

But now, from what 01 said, all of them can participate in the training?

"The hunter said that whether or not to participate is entirely voluntary and there is no force." Chen Ai continued to explain.

Chen Rong looked at Chen Ai with a puzzled look on his face and whispered, "Sister, what's going on? I see you seem to be quite supportive?"

Chen Ai's previous attitude could be said to be firmly opposed to Chen Rong's participation in wing suit flying training. I don't know why he changed his mind today.

"Hunter asked Dong Qiang to come over. He is currently the best athlete in this event in the country. Dong Qiang also said that he can ensure that there will be no accidents during your training..."

"I attended!"

Before Chen Ai finished speaking, Sun Tiantian jumped out with an excited look on her face, "Wingsuit flying, it sounds exciting! Woohoo!"

Dong Qiang also smiled and said, "Anyway, I brought more than a dozen sets of equipment this time, and Captain Xu has also explained it. Anyone who wants to learn can join in!"

Chen Rong was a little cautious at this time. He looked at Dong Qiang and asked, "You said you can ensure the safety of the training?"

"That's right!"

"How do you ensure that?"

"Captain Xu said that you all have extensive experience in high-altitude skydiving. You just need to master the use of the bat suit and there will basically be no problems!"

Dong Qiang explained, "And this time there is only one week, not everyone will have the opportunity to test fly..."

"Why did you get yourself soaked and dirty again? Go back and change your clothes. I'll wash them for you later!"

Without waiting for Dong Qiang to finish, Chen Ai touched Chen Rong's clothes, and said with concern in his reproachful tone, "Look at other people, they didn't end up like you!"

"Sister, I've been training hard recently. You don't have to worry about me. I can wash my clothes by myself." Chen Rong said a little embarrassedly.

The team members all had smirking expressions on their faces.

Dong Qiang looked at Chen Ai's expression at this moment. It was an intimacy that he had never shown in front of others before. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. He looked at Lu Senbao and asked:
"Abao, your captain is Xiao Ai's younger brother?"

"yes..."

"In terms of age, we are siblings."

Chen Ai said lightly, directly interrupting Lu Senbao's words.

Lu Senbao didn't dare to say anything at this time, and quickly agreed: "Ah, right, right!"

Sun Tiantian can't wait any longer:
"Stop wasting time! Didn't you hear what the instructor said? We only have one week left and we may not even get a chance to test fly. Hurry up, those who signed up will stay, and those who don't want to learn will get out!"

"If you want to participate, I will definitely participate too!" Lu Senbao was the first to sign up.

“I’ll learn too!”

"And I!"

“I have to learn!”

“I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time!”

What Chen Rong didn't expect was that all the team members were willing to learn wing suit flying.

In fact, what he didn't know was that since his performance became stronger and stronger, the pressure on the team members was also increasing. No one wanted to be left far behind by their captain and become the one who held them back.

Now that I knew Chen Rong was going to learn something new, I naturally had to keep up with him.

"In that case, you all should go back and change your clothes. Coach Dong also needs to go get ready. We'll meet in the study room later!"

"Yes!"

. . .

. . .

Half an hour later, Chen Rong brought his team members to the study room.

At the door, Chen Ai glared at Chen Rong angrily, but Chen Rong pretended not to see it and walked straight in.

Chen Ai, who had nowhere to vent his anger, kept fiddling with the slingshot on his wrist, wanting to shoot at anyone he saw, making the team members behind him afraid to get close.

"01, the clothes that Yan Wang took off were definitely not washed by us. We were taking a shower at the time and didn't see where they went."

Ma Shouliang was pushed to the front by everyone to block the marbles, so he had to bite the bullet and come up, speaking cautiously.

"Nonsense, can those clothes grow wings and fly by themselves?" Chen Ai didn't believe it at all.

Lu Senbao followed behind and said weakly: "I guess it was taken away by his apprentice Zhang Siyuan to wash."

"Yes, it's very possible!"

"The First Squadron didn't have training today."

"I did seem to see Zhang Siyuan carrying the basin down."

The team members immediately started shouting in unison.

Chen Ai was stunned at first, then turned around and walked downstairs, apparently going to cause trouble for Zhang Siyuan.

The team members then entered the study room feeling relieved.

In the study room, Dong Qiang was already prepared. The title of the PPT on the big screen was very eye-catching: The Origin of Extreme Sports.

Seeing that everyone was present, Dong Qiang began to talk: "Classmates, before we start learning the theory, let's first understand what extreme sports are..."

"Come on, I don't know what that thing is for. Just talk about wing suit flying and don't waste time!" Sun Tiantian immediately slammed the table and yelled.

"This..." Dong Qiang was a little embarrassed and looked at Chen Rong, "Captain, I prepared this courseware overnight. Since we want to learn extreme sports, we must understand the source clearly."

Before Chen Rong could say anything, Lu Senbao was already impatient: "Qiangzi, are you addicted to selling courses outside? Don't do that in front of us, just get to the point!"

Dong Qiang: “…”

Chen Rong frowned as well: "Coach Dong, we really don't need to know about the origins of extreme sports and beliefs that you mentioned. Let's just talk about wing suit flying!"

Seeing that team leader Chen Rong said so, Dong Qiang could not insist any longer and started clicking the mouse to advance the PPT.

After filtering out nearly half of the progress, I finally got to the point, wing suit flying.

"Extreme sports have been subdivided into many categories today, but no matter in a narrow or broad sense, wing suit flying is considered the craziest extreme sport in the world, and it can be called the extreme among extreme sports!"

As a wing suit flying athlete, Dong Qiang explained the things in his field of expertise in great detail.

It was also the first time that Chen Rong and his companions systematically learned what wing suit flying was.

Wingsuit flying, also known as close-range sky gliding.

It refers to the sport of flying in the air without power by a flyer wearing a wing suit jumping from a high-rise building, tower, bridge, cliff, helicopter, etc.

The flyer's landing height is limited, and he needs to adjust his posture and open the parachute pack in the air in a very short time. If there is a mistake, it will result in death. This is also the danger of this sport.

Full of challenges, excitement and adventure!
"Look everyone, this is a wing suit, also called a flying squirrel suit or a bat suit!"

Dong Qiang took out a wing suit and shook it open, first showing it from front to back, then letting everyone try it on and get familiar with it.

"The origin of wing suit flying is actually related to bats. After careful observation of bats, people found that these creatures can combine the flapping of their wings with the flexibility of their wings when flying, so that they can hover in the air or continue to fly."

“And the inspiration for the wingsuit came from that.”

Dong Qiang patted the bulging wing suit, looked at everyone and said, "When you stretch your body in the air, air will enter these ramjet airbags, providing support and buoyancy for your body."

"And you can use inertia or wind to glide in the air."

Chen Rong raised his hand when he heard this: "Coach Dong, I want to ask what is the fastest gliding speed that a wing suit can reach in the air?"

Dong Qiang: "This depends on the actual situation. Wind speed, weather, rain and the pilot's personal posture can all affect the flight speed."

Chen Rong: "Just give a rough range."

"A gliding speed of 160-220 kilometers per hour is no problem. The highest speed recorded in the world is close to 300 kilometers per hour!" Dong Qiang gave the answer without hesitation.

Chen Rong and his team members looked at each other and nodded. This speed was already very good in short-distance maneuvers.

"What is the glide ratio of wing suit flying?" Sun Tiantian asked.

Dong Qiang was stunned at first, then he subconsciously replied: "3 to 1."

Sun Tiantian nodded: "That's not bad, it's indeed much better than paragliding."

Sun Tiantian asked a more professional question, which is something that even non-experts would not be able to answer.

The so-called glide ratio is the ratio between the distance an aircraft travels and the height it drops during unpowered flight. The calculation formula is very complicated.

A glide ratio of 3 to 1 means that for every meter you descend, you can glide three meters in the air.

After chatting with the team members for a while, Dong Qiang looked at his watch and said, "Let's stop here today and continue tomorrow."

Chen Rong raised his head: "Continue what?"

"Keep studying!"

“Learning theory?”

"Yes!"

"I don't think we need to learn anymore. Let's just start test flying tomorrow." Chen Rong said calmly.

Dong Qiang: “???”

"Direct test flight?"

Dong Qiang was stunned.

Although he didn't know the specific identities of these people, he could guess that they were most likely special forces and they probably had experience in high-altitude skydiving.

But, isn’t it a joke to ask for a test flight after just briefly understanding the basic knowledge of wing suit flying?
"No, this is absolutely not allowed. If you rashly test-fly it will definitely lead to accidents..."

"What can happen? Even if we don't understand, we still know how to open the parachute when we are about to fall to death." Sun Tiantian said unhappily.

This coach obviously doesn't understand the situation, or has the hunter never told him the identities of these people?
"How can it be as simple as opening a parachute?"

Dong Qiang said quickly, "Many people can't adjust their posture in the air, let alone pull the parachute, let alone the timing of opening the parachute..."

"Qiangzi, come on, tell me when you open your parachute?"

Lu Senbao looked at Dong Qiang and asked.

"My lowest is 200 meters..."

"You've never tried high-altitude or ultra-low-altitude skydiving, right?" Lu Senbao interrupted Dong Qiang directly.

Dong Qiang didn't quite understand, but nodded anyway: "I've definitely never tried anything below 500 meters or above 2000 meters."

Lu Senbao pointed at his teammates with a somewhat indifferent expression:
"Each of these people has completed extreme parachuting training above 7000 meters and below 300 meters with excellent results. They can fly directly without any problems."

Dong Qiang: “!!!”

"To put it bluntly, if you give them a parachute, they won't die even if they fall asleep and are thrown out of a plane."

"Then I need to ask Captain Xu for instructions!" Dong Qiang's face was full of shock.

As an extreme athlete, he had some understanding of special forces from all over the world, but what Lu Senbao said just now was the first time he heard of it.

From what he said, skydiving has become commonplace?

"With the captain gone, I can make the decision here!"

Chen Rong stood up and began to pack up his notebook and pen. "How about this, if you are worried about safety, we can try high altitude tomorrow, and then fly low altitude after we are proficient in it, how about that?"

Dong Qiang thought for a moment and nodded: "It's better to fly high first. At least at an altitude of 1500 meters, there is enough reaction time."

The team members looked at each other in confusion. Sun Tiantian scratched her ears and asked, "You mean 1500 meters high?"

Dong Qiang felt something was wrong and looked at everyone: "How much did you say?"

“It’s got to be at least 5000.” Sun Tiantian curled her lips.

Dong Qiang: “???”

"Forget it, 1500 is 1500!"

Chen Rong made the decision, "Keyboard, please contact the pilots at the base and confirm the training time for tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The next afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

A transport plane took off from the helipad of the Hunter Base and soon arrived high in the sky deep in the Shenlongjia.

On the grass by the river not far from the base, a huge circle had been marked with lime in advance. This was where the team members would land.

Upon learning that the Hunter Team was going to start a test flight today, some officers and soldiers without training missions in the base all came to watch.

I don't know when the mountain yellow croaker came over, and now it was lying by the river, drinking water lazily.

Chen Ai was combing Xiao Heizi's hair when three squadron leaders and Qi Tian came over. Qi Tian asked, "01, where's the baby? It's time to replace its carbon gold claws."

In Xu Ke's absence, three squadron leaders were sent over to be responsible for the safety of this test flight training.

Chen Ai looked up at the sky and said, "The King of Hell took him on the plane."

In the cabin, all the team members looked calm, but Dong Qiang was a little nervous. He checked the zipper of his wing suit over and over again.

The little golden eagle stood on the ground and looked at its owner curiously: "Wow?"

"Come fly with me later!" Chen Rong touched the little golden eagle's head and said with a smile.

"Wow!"

The little golden eagle jumped twice excitedly on the spot, and then swayed back and forth in circles.

The master can fly too!

In the morning, everyone had become familiar with the wearing of wing suits and their various functions, and had also been trained on how to adjust their postures in the air.

Next up is the first actual flight!
