Chapter 156 What are you doing! Can you be serious?
In machine No. 1234, Su Nian pushed the accelerator steadily. Her movements were gentle yet firm, as if she was caressing a precious treasure.
The aircraft accelerated smoothly on the runway without any bumps or shakes. Her eyes were focused and calm, like a bottomless spring, with endless power in her calmness. Her hands moved smoothly and accurately, and every subtle adjustment was just right, as if she had merged with the aircraft, and they had reached a tacit understanding.
Zhang Meng was in aircraft No. 4567, carefully operating the aircraft while muttering, "Don't worry, don't worry, safety first!"
His expression was a little nervous, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were fixed on the front and the dashboard, his hands were carefully controlling the joystick, and the words he spoke seemed to be cheering himself up, and also seemed to be soothing Zhang Kuang's impatient mood. Every move he made seemed to be cautious, for fear of making the slightest mistake.
As the speed of the aircraft continued to increase, the various scenes in the virtual venue slowly unfolded before their eyes like a colorful and magnificent painting. The majestic mountains and rivers stood like giants, with peaks towering into the clouds and mist lingering between the mountains, giving people a mysterious and majestic feeling.
The surging river was like a silver dragon, rushing forward with great force, splashing water and making a deafening roar. The sea was even more magnificent, with turbulent waves, one after another hitting the shore. The vast sea surface connected with the blue sky, making it difficult to tell where the sea ended and where the sky began. All these dreamlike scenes made them feel as if they were there, intoxicated.
However, they also clearly understand that they must not be distracted at all at this moment and must concentrate on the training task. In this huge and complex virtual world, every subtle operation is like walking on a tightrope and is crucial. The slightest carelessness, even a tiny mistake, may lead to an unimaginable "flight accident".
During the runway practice, Su Nian's operation was like a beautiful symphony, flowing smoothly without any flaws. Her hands moved flexibly on the joystick, like a nimble dancer dancing on the stage, and every movement was just right and accurate. Under her control, the aircraft was like an obedient bird, well-behaved and submissive, moving forward steadily and quickly on the runway.
"Hey, Su Nian, I didn't expect you to be so good at this." Zhang Kuang said with a little surprise, with a hint of jealousy in his tone. He frowned, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction, "Have you practiced secretly?"
"Don't talk, just concentrate on your practice!" Su Nian responded without a word. Her eyes were always fixed on the front, fully focused, as if the whole world only had her and the aircraft in front of her.
……
After the track practice, the next step is the ascension practice.
"Pull up the handle slowly and be careful to control the strength." AI's serious and calm voice reminded.
Zhang Kuang exerted too much force in Unit 2, and the aircraft suddenly rushed too high and began to shake violently, like an out-of-control kite struggling in a strong wind.
"Oh no! Brother! What are you doing? Can you be more serious?" Zhang Meng shouted anxiously in Unit 3, his voice full of anxiety. His face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. "If this continues, something bad will happen!"
Zhang Kuang also showed a panicked expression on his face, "Oh, I just want to hurry up!"
Su Nian gently pulled up the handle in Unit 1, her movements gentle but firm, as if there was an invisible tacit understanding between her and the handle. The aircraft rose steadily, like an elegant swan spreading its wings and flying high.
She carefully felt every slight change in the aircraft, just like an experienced rider keenly sensing every breath of the horse under her crotch. She adjusted the angle of the handle very slightly according to the speed and posture of the ascent, and each fine-tuning movement was precise and decisive.
Her expression was calm and composed, as if she remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. Although there were tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, they seemed so insignificant compared to her determined expression and did not affect her concentration at all.
"Su Nian, you are much more reliable than my brother." Zhang Meng couldn't help but say, his words were full of sincere admiration for Su Nian and helplessness towards Zhang Kuang. His eyes were full of admiration, and his voice was full of emotion, "My brother is always so impetuous."
Su Nian didn't say anything, just stared at the instrument panel intently, her eyes were like two sharp arrows, fixed on the constantly jumping data and flashing indicator lights. Her mind was completely immersed in the flight operation, and the outside sounds seemed to her just distant background noise, unable to disturb her at all.
Next is the exercise of avoiding obstacles.
Various obstacles suddenly appeared in the virtual scene, including fast-moving spheres that flew by like meteors with a terrifying momentum; and pillars that suddenly popped up. The pillars were tall and hard, as if they were insurmountable levels.
Zhang Kuang was operating Unit 2 in a panic. His hands were waving frantically on the joystick. The aircraft dodged left and right, flying around like a headless fly, and finally accidentally hit an obstacle.
"Oh, this is so annoying!" Zhang Kuang complained loudly. His face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of anger and anxiety. "This is too difficult!"
At this time, Su Nian, who had been concentrating, spoke up: "Zhang Kuang, don't be anxious, be calm and patient. The more impatient you are, the easier it is to make mistakes."
