Chapter 744 The era of technology and hard work (second update, please subscribe)
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunshine shines on the earth, the athletes have already started their routine morning training. Facing the rising sun, I ran on the playground with firm steps.
Although the altitude here is only more than 1,800 meters, the air is still relatively thin, and every breath is particularly precious.
The athletes’ breathing became rapid and powerful, as if they were competing for the right to survive with the oxygen on the plateau. Their cheeks turned red due to lack of oxygen, but they did not stop.
The footsteps of the athletes echoed in the empty training ground. Although their steps were heavy, they were full of power.
"Run, run..."
With the assistant coach's shout, everyone is accelerating and has reached the final sprint stage.
"Huh..."
Like everyone else, Yang Wu accelerated again.
After several weeks of training, he has basically adapted to the environment here, and his grades have also recovered. When he first came here, like everyone else, his grades had varying degrees. It went downhill, and it took almost two weeks to get back to normal.
While the athletes were training, in a distant laboratory, Schmidt looked at the doctor in front of him and asked again.
“Are you sure?”
Behind the seemingly calm tone was unconcealable excitement.
"What do you mean for sure?"
Dr. Heisenberg looked at him and said.
"Please do not question my level. During the war, I have been studying the physical limits of human beings. I am very aware of this change."
Like many German medical experts in Southeast Asia, Heisenberg Gerzen had worked in the concentration camp for a long time and had naturally undergone a lot of training. He had even participated in research on "super soldiers" aimed at improving the human body's potential. Although the results were average, with the help of thousands of Jews, he was able to They are absolutely the authority on human research.
Even if they are willing, they can come up with many drugs that can stimulate human potential. After all, they developed a variety of drugs during the war and applied them to the army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. But using these drugs requires the athlete's consent and the coach's permission, at least some degree of tacit approval. And obviously most athletes would not agree with this kind of thing. But this does not prevent them from using other methods to improve the human body's potential, and altitude training allowed them to make an unexpected discovery.
“Unlike plain areas, training at plateau will promote the production of hemoglobin in the human body. We have conducted many tests and there is no doubt about this. Science will never lie. Research shows that high altitude Training increases the concentration of plasma in the human body and has a diluting effect on the blood, but the plasma does not achieve the effects of concentration, melting, aggregation, and coagulation, which helps improve the endurance of athletes, especially in middle and long-distance running.”
In fact, Heisenberg has only just begun his research on altitude training, but with his understanding of human research, he still achieved some results in a short period of time.
"Now, we need further research, such as how long this effect can last after returning to the plains, so that you can make corresponding plans. My friend."
Plan?
What is the plan?
Of course it is the plan to participate in the Olympic Games.
Nodding slightly, Professor Schmidt said.
"Thank you, doctor, you answered some of my questions."
"Now that they return to the plains, they will definitely achieve better results." Heisenberg looked at the athletes in the distance, emphasized again.
“This is science, and science is not deceptive,”
……
Although on the surface Li Yi'an doesn't pay much attention to whether Nanyang can win the gold medal in the Olympics, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care. Although Nanyang has not established a national sports system, he has his own views on gold medals.
“The Olympic Games is not just a competition, it is also science and hard work.”
Actually, this is not Li Yian’s opinion, but a fact - in the near future, the Olympic Games will completely change In the competition between high-tech and ruthless sports, on one side are the drug-taking faction represented by East Germany, who use stimulants to greatly improve the performance of athletes. For this reason, East Germany even formulated the so-called "Complex 8" plan, spending huge sums of money to develop various modern stimulants to quickly improve its performance. At the Seoul Olympics, East Germany, with a population of just over 10 million, actually surpassed the United States and became second in the gold medal list. This is no accident.
In a total of 4 Olympic Games from 1968 to 1988, East Germany won more than 500 medals, including 192 gold medals. It relies on the hard work of technology!
This is definitely a cruel job. Not only are the athletes severely damaged by doping, they even eat women into men, well, eat them into masculine forms. Not only does eating make you masculine, but the food you eat will cause various problems for your body. The so-called East Germany Olympic gold medal country was the result of destroying the bodies of athletes,
This is really ruthless, but it also really requires technology. If biomedical technology is not good, it will not be ruthless even if you want to be ruthless. The "advanced experience" of East Germany is also based on science.
The other faction, represented by major sporting goods companies, invests a large amount of bonuses in researching various sports technical equipment. In addition to the well-known sharkskin swimsuits, various sports shoes and rackets, etc. All kinds of equipment, the reason why those sports companies are eager to conduct research in this area is ultimately for the market - to increase their brand awareness through victory in world events. In order to promote its products around the world to obtain more economic benefits.
To put it bluntly, one of the two parties is the body party, and the other is the equipment party.
Although the goal of the Olympic Games is to be higher, faster and stronger, technology can definitely make people higher, faster and stronger.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yian started to make a fuss about sports equipment. It is not about making a fuss about sports equipment, but to further research new sports equipment to improve athletes' performance. This is a healthy technological competition.
He is definitely a technology, but definitely not a ruthless person.
In the testing room of Phoenix Bicycle Company, Li Yian looked at the road bicycle in front of him and the familiar transmission. The corners of his mouth raised, and an unconcealable smile flashed between his eyebrows.
"Sir, this is a new type of road bicycle that we manufactured based on your drawings. Its frame is welded from 7075 high-strength aluminum alloy and uses a new type of transmission. Compared with the old type of transmission, Its shifting efficiency is higher and more flexible..."
There is no need for an engineer to explain anything at all. This bicycle was designed by Li Yian himself, and the materials were also selected by him. In order to increase the speed, he" "Designed" a new type of bicycle transmission, which is actually the most common one. Although common, it was ahead of its time in this era. Although people had developed various bicycle transmissions as early as the end of the 19th century, they were often They are all too primitive. Although they are inconvenient to operate and have poor performance, they still help athletes win games time and time again.
The current transmission on this bicycle coupled with the frame made of 7075 aviation aluminum alloy material, the new lightweight road bicycle is bound to further improve the performance of Nanyang athletes.
However, what Li Yian values is not just performance. Although medals are important, what is more important?
Of course it’s the market.
“…Through smooth shifting during riding, the athletes have greatly improved. One of the athletes who participated in the test even came close to the London Olympic champion’s score.”
After a brief understanding of its performance and improvement in athletes' performance, Li Yian said with a smile.
“As long as the performance improves and it can become famous in the Olympic Games, our Phoenix Bicycle can become a blockbuster and enter the European and American markets!”
The sports equipment market in this era has been seriously ignored, but its market potential is far greater than people's imagination in this era.
“For now, the sports equipment market is still a blue ocean, which has not been fully explored, and has not been taken seriously by enterprises. If we seize this opportunity to enter this market, we will not only gain extremely rich profits Profits, and can also become the pioneer and leader of the market in the future, and then dominate this market.”
When talking about the European and American markets, Li Yian naturally thought of being a sponsor of the Olympic Games. It seems that now the Olympic Games. It's not that commercialized yet. If you act as its sponsor, you might be able to get some rewards...
