All personnel casualties

Fighting alone in a predicament

During an exercise

The blue team launched a precise attack

All support routes were completely cut off

The launch platform where the red team operator Xue Wei was located

Only he and one alert operator "survived"

The scheduled launch time could not be delayed by a single second

In this predicament

He had to break through alone

Over thirty years of tempering

Operating procedures ingrained in his bones

With over thirty years of military career, forged through countless trials

The complex launch procedures

Had long been integrated into muscle memory

Giving himself commands

Verifying each item

Completing the entire operational process

The coordination between man and equipment reached zero delay

When the ignition command was given

The missile shot straight into the sky

This is the realm of the launch operator where "man and sword are one"

It is also the confidence in victory honed to perfection

No retirement at the age of service

Determined to hold the battle position

In 2025, Xue Wei, who has served for 30 years

Proactively submitted an application for extended service

"Those who fear death should not be cruise soldiers

Those who seek comfort should not be cruise personnel

Those who do not want to fight should not enter the cruise door

He has worn the military uniform for a lifetime

As long as the troops need him

He will always be on duty
