The pilot saluted: "Sir!"

Luo Ren nodded slightly and asked, "What's your name?"
The pilot replied: "Sir, my code name is 'Flying Zero'. Read М"
"Flying zero?" Luo Ren couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the pilot's factory name. Although it was still a number, it sounded much better than the factory name of the escort, such as 001 or something like that.
It just so happens that choosing a name takes a lot of brains. Since the name is easy to hear, I won't change it.
"Fei Ling, let me ask you, is it difficult to fly a Storm armed helicopter?" Luo Ren asked.
Fei Ling didn't think twice and replied: "Sir, I don't think it's difficult."
"Um... I may not have expressed my meaning clearly." Luo Ren touched his nose and continued to explain: "I mean, it's not a pilot, but a person like me who has never flown a plane. If you want to Is it difficult to learn to fly a Storm gunship?”
Fei Ling thought for a while and said one word seriously: "Difficult." He then explained: "Armed helicopters have high requirements on people's perception, balance, attention distribution and reaction sensitivity.
It is this item that drives many people away.
Of course, the commander's physical fitness is excellent, and his sensory sensitivity is far beyond ordinary people, even worse than that of a professional fighter pilot. So, this is no problem for you.
However, helicopters are more difficult to fly than fixed-wing aircraft. It still takes a certain amount of time to learn and cannot be accomplished overnight. "
"How long does it take to learn to fly an armed helicopter?" Luo Ren asked.
"At least more than twenty hours of flight time will be enough." Fei Ling replied.
"Only more than twenty hours?" Luo Ren was surprised. He didn't expect that learning to fly a plane would take many times less time than learning to drive a car.
Then I thought about it, yes, learning to drive actually only takes a few hours. If the driving school instructors are not acquaintances, you have to be more flexible and buy a pack of cigarettes or something like that, otherwise you will get off the bus right away when the lesson is over, and they won’t even let you off before the lesson is over.
In fact, these are nothing. Some driving school instructors are really harmful and even lure students into MLM. Luo Ren has experienced it once in his previous life. Fortunately, MLM in the south is not as good as in the north. It is more civilized and will not lock you up. It is just more broken. Wealth and people are no big deal.
Fei Ling saw Luo Ren's surprised expression and knew that Luo Ren had misunderstood him. He immediately explained: "The more than twenty hours of flight time mentioned by my subordinates does not mean that it only takes twenty hours to learn." Fly a plane.
Instead, they first learn theoretical knowledge, then receive practical guidance from the instructor, and finally hand over the control of the aircraft to the students. In this way, it takes more than 20 hours of flight time to learn to fly the Storm armed helicopter.
In fact, it will take more than a month or two to complete one set. "
"I see." Luo Ren rubbed his chin and thought to himself: "At least a month or two. It's too long and I can't wait. It seems I can only let the pilot go with me."
To go to Tianwu Mountain, you need to cross two cities. It is impossible for Luo Ren to run across such a long distance on two legs.
If you drive there, you will definitely encounter zombies and evolved animals on the way, and the speed will be relatively slow. Walking from the sky is the best choice.
Of course, there are dangers in walking in the air, and that is the evolution of birds. Luo Ren has already thought about keeping the helicopter flying at a low altitude. Those evolved animals of the raptor type should not go crazy and attack an iron shell.
And non-raptor evolved animals such as sparrows and pheasants will not provoke such a thing that looks extremely difficult to provoke.
So, in general, air routes are much safer than ground routes.
After making the decision, Luo Ren said to Fei Ling: "Okay, I understand. The aircraft is still in production and will take two or three days. You should go back to the dormitory to rest first."
"Yes, sir." After Fei Ling saluted, he ran toward the east city of the air force base.
After seeing off the pilot, Luo Ren looked up at the sky. Under the sunlight, it stung his eyes and he couldn't open them. He could only open them after covering them with his palms, but they were still slightly squinted.
As a modern person who has learned some superficial knowledge of astronomy and physics, Luo Ren certainly knows that the sun also has a lifespan, but compared with the average lifespan of human beings of less than a hundred years, its lifespan of more than five billion years can still be described as eternal.
The same goes for the stars in the sky, the moon, and the blue stars beneath my feet.
"Such a big change seems to have affected only humans. Blue Star did not collapse because of human disasters. It even got better." He looked over the city wall and saw the lush mountains outside the air force base. "It even got better."
Turning his eyes, he saw Chiyang City, and the faces of Su Antong, Liu Lianxin, Qi Jun and others flashed before his eyes one by one.
There are also the students who surrounded him when he was in school; the Sky March soldiers who trained hard and were nervous but not afraid of the zombie siege; the residents who lined the streets to welcome them when they returned in triumph; these scenes were all before his eyes. Flashed.
He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and took steps toward Chiyang City.
This time he did not run at extremely fast speeds, but drove the vehicle slowly into the city and towards the mobile base.
The slower speed allowed him to better appreciate the scenery along the way, which was a scene of many people working on flat land.
When he was one-third of the way there, his eyes suddenly fixed, because he saw a familiar figure, not the old residents who joined the base at the beginning, nor Liu Lianxin, Su Antong and others.
But a person who had been an enemy for a very short time, Xu Liang.
Xu Liang was shirtless, showing his strong muscles, directing dozens of people to work, and he himself was waving the tools in his hands and working very hard.
Xu Liang was a level 2 evolver and was once the mayor of Yuhui City.
With Yuhui City's surrender, he naturally belonged, so Luo Ren granted him permission not to work, and gave him a monthly subsidy, and this subsidy was many times higher than the monthly salary of ordinary residents who worked hard.
It can be said that he did not need to participate in labor at all, and he slept and played all day long. As long as he did not violate the city regulations, there would be no trouble.
Luo Ren blinked his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken. Xu Liang was indeed participating in labor.
As a Level 2 Evolver, Xu Liang had very sensitive senses. He soon realized that someone was staring at him. He looked sideways and immediately found that it was Luo Ren who was staring at him.
He grinned, waved at Luo Ren, and called out, "Captain Luo."
This voice attracted the attention of the people nearby, and they all looked at Luo Ren. These people were all from Yuhui City and Sanctuary City No. 1. Because there were too many people, the workplace had not been sorted out, so they had not been assigned formal work. They could only do some temporary work in the new city area, such as handling miscellaneous items and flattening construction land.
