The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

"Let's go up!"

"You can go inside the car and take a look now!"

Han Dayong moved aside.

Shen Yan reached out and grabbed the handrail on the outside of the vehicle, then stepped onto the pedal and crawled into the cabin.

Upon entering, a strong smell of metal, engine oil, and rubber hit you.

The interior space is not as spacious as it appears from the outside.

The surrounding area was filled with equipment, wiring, and various control devices.

The heavy armor completely enclosed the driver's seat, leaving only a limited field of vision.

If it were an ordinary new recruit coming in for the first time, seeing so much stuff, they probably wouldn't even know where to put their hands and feet.

Shen Yan only took a few seconds to match the actual object in front of him with the textbook content in his mind.

The instruments and display devices in front of the driver's seat are for vehicle status monitoring and comprehensive information processing.

The communication devices, observation equipment, and control mechanisms in different locations could all be found in the structural diagrams he had seen.

In the past, when looking at the equipment through paper, many devices were just a label or a symbol.

Now that he was actually inside the vehicle, the entire armored vehicle system finally stood up completely in front of Shen Yan!

"How are you feeling?"

Han Dayong entered the car from the back, his left arm still fixed in front of his chest, and he could only hold onto the door handle with his right hand.

Chen Gang was the last to crawl in.

He watched as Shen Yan kept examining the equipment inside the car and couldn't help but remind him, "Looking is fine, but don't touch anything."

"This behemoth is no ordinary car. If you accidentally touch the wrong switch, Old Han can throw you out of the car on the spot!"

Han Dayong looked down at his left arm.

"Company Commander Chen, you overestimate me a bit."

"Besides, you probably wouldn't be willing to throw Shen Yan out, would you?"

Chen Gang's lips twitched.

"I'm not the kind of person who can't separate public and private matters. Even if Shen Yan makes a mistake, I still won't show him any leniency!"

Hearing Chen Gang's words, Han Dayong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He had already heard about how Chen Gang had treated Shen Yan like a precious treasure, taking him around to various companies!

Shen Yan couldn't help but smile as he listened to their conversation.

However, he didn't actually reach out and touch anything; instead, he first observed the driver's seat.

"Squad Leader Han, the layout here is a bit different from the teaching terminal."

"Is this part of the equipment positioned closer to the driver for easier operation while driving?"

"Also, this observation screen should actually have a narrower display area than the teaching terminal."

"If the vehicle is bumpy, the driver also needs to make a judgment based on the passenger reports and the vehicle's posture, and cannot just look at the screen in front of them."

……

Han Dayong originally wanted to start the introduction from the most basic position.

After hearing Shen Yan's words, he paused for a moment.

"Didn't you already see that?"

Shen Yan shook his head.

"It can only roughly correspond to the content in the textbook."

"You'll have to teach me the specific operational differences."

Han Dayong was quite pleased with these words!

This kid may learn quickly, but...

But his humility is genuine!

He didn't think he knew everything just because he got a perfect score on the theory test and started driving the actual car.

Shen Yan should ask questions if he doesn't understand something. At least I don't have to worry about him learning something and then taking matters into his own hands and causing an accident!

Every unit leader likes such obedient soldiers!

"Okay, then I'll start by explaining from the driver's seat."

Han Dayong took his seat as coach and pointed forward with his right hand.

"Ordinary cars are slower, so there's a chance to correct mistakes if you make a mistake."

"But this armored vehicle is different!"

"This thing is heavy and has a lot of inertia, and the driver's field of vision is limited."

Sometimes you might think it's just a little off-center, but if you leave it outside, it might already be rolling onto the side of the road!

"Therefore, as the driver of an armored vehicle, you can't just focus on driving yourself; you also have to receive reports from other crew members at any time."

"When to move forward, when to stop, which side of the route is safe, and whether there are any abnormalities in the vehicle's condition—you must hear and understand every single one of these!"

Shen Yan listened attentively.

Although Han Dayong's left arm is unable to move, his right hand is quite skilled at demonstrating.

The way to observe from the driver's position and to judge the vehicle's attitude.

He explained clearly how to confirm the surrounding situation through various feedbacks under limited visibility, and how the crew should coordinate.

These are practical experiences that are difficult to fully explain in textbooks!

Extremely valuable!

As Shen Yan listened, he integrated these experiences with the theoretical knowledge he had previously learned.

A vehicle is like a whole that is much simpler than the human body, yet still requires various systems to work together.

Instrument data is equivalent to inspection results.

The vibrations, sounds, and handling feedback from the vehicle resemble the symptoms exhibited by a patient.

Judging based on only one factor can easily lead to errors.

Different pieces of information must be put together to know the vehicle's current status.

After Han Dayong finished explaining the basics, he pointed to several pieces of equipment and asked Shen Yan a few questions.

Shen Yan answered all the questions correctly.

Not only can they explain its function, but they can also combine the explanation to determine how to use it in actual driving.

Han Dayong gradually ran out of things to say.

Everything that needed to be said has been said, and everything that needed to be reminded has been reminded.

Then look at the way this kid is looking at the driver's seat.

They've gone from being unfamiliar with each other to being eager to try!

Sure enough, Shen Yan stared at the control device in front of him for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Squad Leader Han, may I try to start it?"

Han Dayong was stunned.

"What did you say?"

"I want to try driving an armored vehicle!"

Shen Yan said earnestly, "Squad Leader Han, Chen Lian, I promise I will only advance and retreat at a low speed on the training ground!"

"If any operation is not performed correctly, I will stop immediately."

Han Dayong originally only intended for Shen Yan to familiarize herself with the car's interior.

At most, a few more static operations can be performed.

But this kid had only been in the car for a short time when he actually tried to start the car right away?

Chen Gang also frowned.

"Xiao Shen, armored vehicles are not the training vehicles you use in driving school."

"If you don't control your footing properly, it won't just stall the engine!"

Shen Yan did not rush to argue, but instead repeated the safety conditions, vehicle status, and personnel coordination that needed to be confirmed before starting.

He spoke very slowly.

Each item was carried out in the order that Han Dayong had just emphasized.

Han Dayong originally wanted to refuse outright.

Hearing the rest, he couldn't help but look at Chen Gang.

Chen Gang also hesitated.

He brought Shen Yan here to see how long it would take the kid to learn to drive an armored vehicle.

It doesn't really make much sense to just let him sit here and watch.

Han Dayong thought for a moment and finally said, "If you want to try, it's not impossible."

"However, there are a few conditions."

"First, you can only practice within this closed training ground; you can't drive the car out."

"Secondly, you must follow my instructions for all operations. If I tell you to stop, you must stop immediately!"

"Third, practice moving forward and backward at low speeds first. Do not accelerate without permission, and absolutely do not attempt any movements I haven't taught you!"

As Han Dayong spoke, he sat down in the coach's seat, placing his right hand near the emergency braking device.

"The training ground has been cleared out, and there are people outside to ensure safety."

"You can give it a try as long as you follow the instructions strictly."

Shen Yan nodded immediately.

"clear!"

Han Dayong's expression turned serious.

"Begin pre-startup checks!"

Shen Yan did not take any action immediately.

He first confirmed the status of the vehicle and its occupants according to regulations, and then completed the necessary report through communication equipment.

Once all conditions were confirmed, the vehicle was started at Han Dayong's command.

A roar instantly filled the car!

The vibrations from the vehicle body are transmitted to the body through the seat, and the surrounding instruments and equipment gradually come into operation.

This feeling is completely different from that of a teaching terminal!

No matter how realistic the simulated equipment on the screen is, it can never simulate the sense of power that comes with the start of an entire armored vehicle!

Shen Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

This is great stuff!

No wonder many men, including myself, can't resist seeing this massive steel behemoth!

Just hearing the engine make Shen Yan feel like his blood was boiling!

"Don't get too excited!"

Han Dayong, standing nearby, reminded them, "Pay attention to the vehicle's condition!"

Shen Yan immediately composed himself.

"Vehicle is in normal condition!"

"Ready!"

"Proceed at a slow speed."

"yes!"

Shen Yan followed the instructions.

The armored vehicle moved forward slowly.

There was a slight jolt when the car started moving.

This means that Shen Yan is not yet familiar enough with the vehicle's handling feedback and power response.

Just as Han Dayong was about to remind him, Shen Yan had already taken the initiative to make adjustments.

The second start was noticeably less jerky.

The third time, the vehicle was able to move forward smoothly.

The words that Han Dayong was about to say were slowly swallowed back, and his face turned into one of shock!

No, isn't this kid adapting a little too fast?

You've already mastered it in just a few minutes?

"Stop at the next traffic light!"

"receive!"

Shen Yan assessed the vehicle's speed and remaining distance, and began to slow down.

The first time the vehicle stopped, it was less than half a car length beyond the marker line.

Shen Yan was somewhat dissatisfied, so he applied to start the car again and continued parking.

The second time, it only went a very short distance.

The third time, the armored vehicle came to a perfect stop in front of the marker line!

Han Dayong glanced down at his seat, then looked at Shen Yan.

How many times have you practiced it?

When he first started learning to drive, he was scolded by his class monitor countless times just for judging parking distances.

Even though I thought there was still some distance to go, I stopped and found that the front of the car was almost hitting the signpost.

Shen Yan is doing well.

I figured out the distance and vehicle inertia in just three tries!

"Start reversing."

Han Dayong refused to believe it and continued to increase the difficulty.

With limited rearward visibility from the armored vehicle, Shen Yan had to rely on observation equipment and crew reports to determine the vehicle's position.

Chen Gang also began to cooperate, reporting the situation behind the vehicle through the in-vehicle communication device.

"The rear is safe."

"The distance to the left rear side is normal."

"Continue reversing."

"parking!"

Shen Yan quickly received the information and completed the operation according to the command.

At first, he also needed to mentally reconcile Chen Gang's report, equipment images, and vehicle locations.

After practicing a few times, this process gradually became an instinctive action.

He no longer simply follows commands.

Instead, it can anticipate potential problems based on the vehicle's posture and driving route.

Han Dayong quickly expanded the training content from simple forward and backward movements to include fixed-point parking, basic turning, and navigating obstacle markers in the training field.

At first, Han Dayong had to explain each step in detail.

Half an hour later, all he needs to do is issue the target.

Shen Yan can execute the mission perfectly while driving an armored vehicle!

"Ahead of the obstacle, enter the area on the right."

"receive!"

Shen Yan confirmed the route by observing the equipment and made the turn based on the vehicle's position.

The heavily armored vehicle slowly bypassed the obstacles and steadily entered the designated area.

No signs were encountered during the entire process.

Han Dayong remained silent for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Gang.

Although Chen Gang couldn't drive this armored reconnaissance vehicle, he could tell that Shen Yan's operation was becoming increasingly smooth.

He could barely suppress the urge to smile, but he still deliberately asked:

"Old Han, what do you think of Xiao Shen's training?"

Han Dayong glanced at him, knowing that Chen Gang was showing off his precious soldiers, so he said irritably.

"Can't you see for yourself?"

"I'm not a professional."

Chen Gang said in a serious tone, "Of course we have to hear your evaluation as a professional backbone."

Han Dayong could easily see what Chen Gang was thinking.

This guy just wants to hear me praise Shen Yan in person!

"It operates very smoothly and I can adapt to it quickly."

"Are you satisfied now?"

Chen Gang immediately corrected him: "What do you mean by 'satisfied'?"

"Shen Yan is here to be tested by you; your satisfaction is the most important thing!"

Han Dayong ignored him and continued to add more training content to Shen Yan's curriculum.

In addition to basic driving skills, communication, navigation, observation, and vehicle status information are gradually being incorporated into the training.

Chen Gang was responsible for issuing different instructions via in-vehicle communication.

Han Dayong then changed the displayed content, occasionally adding a few simulated error messages for Shen Yan to judge the priority.

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into Shen Yan's ears and into his eyes.

When a new driver encounters this situation, it's easy for them to be completely distracted by one of the prompts.

I was so focused on checking the vehicle's condition that I forgot about the route ahead.

Eager to receive communication commands may cause you to miss abnormal information.

However, Shen Yan did not panic.

He was all too familiar with this process of processing large amounts of information simultaneously and quickly determining priorities!

In my past life, when I was in the emergency department, patients' vital signs, examination results, changes in their injuries, and the status of resuscitation equipment could all go wrong at any time.

If doctors are led by the nose by just one indicator, they may miss truly fatal changes!

Although the operating logic of armored vehicles differs from that of rescuing patients, the methods of information judgment have similarities.

First, address any issues that may affect the safety of people and vehicles.

Then, based on the task information and route, make a judgment and finally deal with general prompts that will not escalate immediately.

Once the order is clear, the seemingly chaotic information immediately becomes clear.

Han Dayong would initially offer a couple of reminders.

Later on, he realized he didn't even need to remind himself anymore.

Shen Yan was able to complete the operation with extreme precision.

It can also accurately explain why it was processed in this order after it's finished!

This is more than just improved memory.

His ability to make on-the-spot judgments and process information is equally outrageous!

……

Two hours later.

Shen Yan maneuvered the armored vehicle to complete the final stop at a designated point.

The vehicle stopped steadily in the designated area.

From moving forward, backward, turning, and stopping, to switching observation equipment, receiving signals, train crew coordination, and basic anomaly detection...

He has practiced all the introductory training materials once!

After completing the parking procedures as required, Shen Yan turned to look at Han Dayong.

"Squad Leader Han, is there anything else we need to practice?"

Han Dayong glanced at the time, then looked down at the training results he had recorded.

Half a day ago, he thought Shen Yan could at most go into the actual vehicle to recognize the equipment.

The results of it?

Two hours!

This kid has already mastered all the basic operating procedures of the armored reconnaissance vehicle!

Although it is still a long way from truly complex terrain driving, vehicle crew tactical coordination and operation in mission environments.

But at least in terms of basic driving, there are no obvious problems.

"That's enough for today's practice."

Han Dayong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Things beyond that can't be learned by just running around the training field a few times."

"Complex terrain, long-distance driving, and crew coordination all require gradual accumulation."

Shen Yan nodded.

"clear."

Chen Gang, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask:

"Old Han, at this rate of learning, if Xiao Shen continues training, how long will it take him to reach your crew's standard?"

Han Dayong thought for a moment.

"It's hard to say."

"Driving an armored vehicle is not just about knowing how to operate it; it also requires accumulating experience in various terrains and mission environments."

"However, given his talent, as long as he keeps up with the training time, his progress will definitely be fast."

At this point, Han Dayong looked at Shen Yan, his tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness.

"If we really put them on the battlefield and let them bleed a few times!"

This kid will probably become a legendary ace pilot very soon!
