My girlfriend is from 1949

Chapter 69 Intense Practical Training, Doubts

With nearly a hundred students in the classroom, it's impossible for everyone to try it out personally at this stage.

After all, drones are a revolutionary technological product, and they are extremely valuable!

If we follow the PLA's consistent policy of frugality, we probably wouldn't have the chance to touch it without first simulating it thousands of times and confirming that we know every detail by heart.

However, Director Zheng had a very important task: to go to Beiping first and then rush back to Shanghai to take charge of the overall situation.

There's no time to waste training pilots.

Even if not everyone can master it, a small number of people should master it first.

Then, the person who has mastered it leads the way, teaching others to gradually become familiar with it as well.

Anyway, he only knows how to assemble and operate it simply; as for more precise control, everyone needs to explore it.

With the help of Lin Wan's notebook, a special battlefield weapon can be cultivated in no time!

Moreover, Chen Huai'an was fully aware of our army's consistent policy of thrift, which is why he specifically instructed Lin Wan not to be afraid of breaking things.

With the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign imminent, it is imperative to quickly ensure that the selected comrades master the use of drones.

With drones for high-altitude reconnaissance, we can gain more detailed insights into the enemy's troop deployments.

During an attack, fewer soldiers' lives can be sacrificed.

You have to practice a lot to get the hang of drones!

After listening to their advice, Director Zheng and the leaders of the forward command reluctantly agreed to allow the equipment to be disassembled during training, despite their reluctance.

However, there are requirements for being selected.

He glanced around and picked out a comrade who had raised his hand: "Young man, please tell everyone the name of each part and the precautions for assembly."

"Yes!" Li Yimin stood up abruptly, his eyes shining with excitement.

He walked over to the worn-out wooden table above and began to explain, pointing to the various components: "This is the remote control, the main component for operating the drone. Before using it, make sure there is power. If there is no power, you need to use this interface..."

Li Yimin, being a college student, is quick-witted.

He has a particular talent for new science and technology; he grasped all the key points after just a few explanations and watching the assembly process.

He had even mentally rehearsed the assembly process dozens of times.

"Good, this young comrade is studying very diligently!" Director Zheng nodded slightly in affirmation.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, he gave the order: "Now, disassemble the drone and then reassemble it!"

"Yes!" Li Yimin straightened up, his excited voice filled with enthusiasm.

He immediately reached out with both hands to pick up the drone on the table.

Just as they were about to touch it, their hands suddenly stopped.

He gave an awkward smile, hurriedly wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes, and then carefully touched the drone.

His slightly clumsy actions did not elicit any laughter from those below.

Instead, everyone felt that this was the proper way; only by wiping their hands clean could they touch this most advanced technological product in the world!

"Gurgle!"

Li Yimin swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Start assembling according to the steps you just learned.

Although I was nervous and worried about damaging the precious drone, my technique was a bit clumsy.

However, the methodical movements still earned praise.

Ten minutes later, the drone was disassembled and reassembled, and placed on the wooden table in an unfolded state.

"Excellent!" Director Zheng clapped his hands lightly, giving high praise.

Thunderous applause erupted from below, and everyone's gaze became even more fervent.

Li Yimin scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes still filled with the excitement of having just come into contact with drones.

Although he is already an instructor, he is still only a 22-year-old youth. In the future world, if he started school late, he wouldn't even have graduated from university yet.

Now, hearing the leader's praise makes me feel very happy.

He was already fantasizing: if he could get the leader's approval, would he be able to become a formal pilot?

Director Zheng then called two trainees up to the stage and assessed them in the same way.

However, with Li Yimin leading the way, these trainees seized the time to memorize these key points and successfully passed the assessment.

However, when it came to assembly, he was slightly inferior to Li Yimin in both technique and time.

After much trial and error, the assembly was finally completed.

Director Zheng nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

His task is complete once these trainees have mastered the assembly and application.

As for more details, they'll have to figure that out themselves.

After all, even Director Zheng, the instructor, only received two hours of intensive training.

"Now, I will teach you how to control it!"

At a command, nearly a hundred trainees stood up and went to the open threshing ground.

Although the threshing ground was quiet, it was guarded by armed soldiers on the perimeter.

No one may approach without permission.

Director Zheng carefully placed the drone in the center, gently turned on the power, and then began to operate it according to the steps.

Woohoo!

The drone's propellers turned, emitting a high-frequency, slight spinning sound.

With four propellers spinning, the slender fuselage slowly rose into the air, hovering three meters above the ground.

"Is this an airplane?"

"Why are they different from the planes of the Kuomintang reactionaries?"

"What use is something so small?"

"It really flew!"

"It can even float in mid-air!"

"That's amazing!"

The trainees watched in awe as the drone slowly took off.

In an era of low literacy rates, they were all considered high achievers and knowledgeable individuals.

I have witnessed bombing raids by Japanese invaders and attacks by Kuomintang reactionaries.

But those were all large aircraft with two big wings.

Compared to the tiny drone in front of me, it's like night and day.

Although Director Zheng's lectures were impressive, I hadn't actually seen it myself.

Now, seeing the tiny drone actually take flight, everyone can't help but exclaim in amazement.

Li Yimin's eyes widened, his gaze filled with shock.

He said to the classmate next to him, "I read in a book that the Americans developed something called a helicopter, which takes off using a propeller, but the specifications show it's incredibly loud; you can hear it from several kilometers away!"

The small drone hovered in mid-air, yet it was not very loud.

If it were to rise another few dozen meters, it probably wouldn't be able to hear a sound at all.

But what use is this tiny drone on the battlefield, besides being able to fly and hover?

The same question was also seen in the eyes of the other trainees.

However, before they could even speak, Director Zheng took the initiative to demonstrate it to them.

"Now everyone will be divided into groups of nine and watch my demonstration in turn."

Li Yimin immediately formed a group with the others, craning their necks to learn how to operate it.

But when he saw the remote control he had assembled himself, his eyes widened in surprise!

P.S.: This is in response to many readers' comments regarding the book's scope, lack of transparency, feeling constrained, and some disliked urban content.

In fact, there are many things the author doesn't want to write.

As you can see, this book can only be categorized as urban, not military.

Only by adding urban scenes and other storylines can the length of the urban scenes be increased, and the risks of the Republican era be reduced, in order to save lives.

The author may not have earned a single penny while writing this book over two months; it's all done out of passion.

Everyone knows that this book deals with sensitive topics, but they don't know just how sensitive they are.

Thanks to everyone's support, this book has performed well, ranking first in its category and third overall.

However, this book is not listed at all on the official website's homepage ranking list.

The rankings move up from second place, and all books automatically move up one place, as if this book doesn't exist!

The author has included more content about the Republican era later on, so please try not to let the book sit unfinished.

Because you might come back and find—it's gone!
