Chapter 159 Competition on the City Wall
“Let me tell you some popular science here. Neon’s year-round competition system is different from that of China. They will hold national competitions four times a year. In each season, the top three teams in each season can qualify for the final and most important Super Cup of the year. In other words, including the Super Cup, Neon has five national-level competitions in a year. Competition, and under such circumstances, Lin Shu won all five championships this year, so his strength cannot be underestimated. "Although his job is not to commentate on mini racing, Su has done his homework in advance. Fan introduced it to the audience, and at this time, a close-up of the light-speed dragon appeared on the TV screen.
“Okay, we can see that the car in the picture is Lin De’s racing car, the Lightspeed Dragon. It adopts a rear motor design. The unique dragon head and phoenix tail are integrated with the body. , in the previously concluded group match of Group A, Beijing driver Chen Xiaohu’s car, Jingtianhu, used this configuration with outstanding performance and won the first place in the group. Dr. Chen, is there anything to say about this configuration?”
“When the dragon head and phoenix tail are integrated with the body, the surface of the body becomes a complete whole, which can greatly reduce the air resistance of the car. However, this design requires the driver to have a higher understanding of the aerodynamic structure of the body. , after all, this design has not yet been mass-produced. Currently, every mini racing car using this design is unique in the world. For the driver, how to design the aerodynamic structure starts from scratch, and this design The material requirements for the car body are also very high,” Dr. Chen said, “The material used by Chen Xiaohu’s Jingtianhu, which ranked first in Group A, is 600T carbon fiber, and the material used in this Lightspeed Battle Dragon is called Mini. The dream material of racing cars, made of ZMC material. "ZMC material? Is it the material used by the Scorpio that performed extremely well in Group B before?" Han Qiao asked curiously.
"Yes, it is the same ZMC material used in the Scorpio," Dr. Chen nodded. "Although the ZMC material used in this car is still far from the perfect original ZMC of the Scorpio, the performance of this car is also extremely good. Excellent, being able to win Neon's final Super Cup championship is enough to illustrate the strength of this car."
"Okay, we can see that all the players are ready at the starting point." The broadcast screen. Here, the game was about to start, and Su Fan also changed the topic to the game itself.
“5! 4! 3! 2! 1!”
The countdown ended, Chang’an’s local four-wheel drive fighters waved their flags vigorously, and 13 racing cars sped out.
The Wild Antelope with high torque configuration rushed to the first place at the start and took the lead. Behind him was Xie Peng's Konglong, and then two Ares 600 modified with high torque configuration.
"We can see that the players in the high-torque group took the lead at the start. The wild antelope of Li Jialiang, the favorite in this group, ran in the first place. The Konglong with a balanced configuration also performed quite well, and It is not far behind the high-torque cars that have a starting advantage, and even surpasses the two Ares 600s with high-torque configurations." Su Fan quickly explained the situation after the start.
Among the ultra-high-speed express train group that was temporarily lagging behind, the Lightspeed War Dragon was the first to exert force. After accelerating, it overtook two cars one after another and began to approach the leading group in front.
"The Light Speed War Dragon has begun to exert its power! What an amazing acceleration ability!" Han Qiao said at this time, "The charging war eagle is following behind him. The high-speed express cars began to show their prowess, but the light-speed war dragon was obviously better. While catching up with the high-torque racing cars in front, it also left the charging war eagle a long way away."
< br>"This speed is too ridiculous." Seeing that the charging war eagle could not catch up with the light speed war dragon no matter how hard he tried, Li Jialiang said helplessly. In last year's game, he and Huo Huo, who could be said to be the strongest in the China Super High Speed Express, said He had fought against the leaping aliens. At that time, he had never experienced the despair that no matter how hard he chased the distance, it would get further and further away. This year, he and his car have become stronger, thinking that he can show off his skills this year. As a result, they met Lin Bo in the group stage.
In fact, this guy’s strength is already very good. He can adjust this car to a speed that is not inferior to the victory charge. If there is no intervention by the master and the Neon driver to roll together, Xiaohao is now It is estimated to be at this level, but this speed is not enough in front of the light speed war dragon, which can be said to be a generation ahead!
"The ranking of player Lin Shui is rising at a high speed, and he quickly surpassed other players and reached third place. At the same time, player Xie Peng's Konglong also surpassed two Ares 600s and reached second place. "Han Qiao explained, "Compared with the Wild Antelope and Konglong, it is incredible to be able to use the ultra-high-speed configuration to get the Lightspeed Battle Dragon in this position at the very beginning. The Lightspeed Battle Dragon is worthy of its reputation. Because of its reputation for the speed of light.”
“The three leading vehicles have passed the Zhuque Gate and the Hanguang Gate, and will soon reach the first big corner of the city wall and enter the continuous serpentine curve. On this section of track, the high-torque racing car Wild Antelope and the balanced racing car Konglong don’t have to worry too much, but this section of the track is a big test for the ultra-high-speed lightspeed battle dragon, because the rules are Those who have designated maintenance points and run out of the track elsewhere will be eliminated immediately!
"Okay, we can see that the three vehicles turned a 90-degree bend in turn and entered the serpentine runway on the west side of the city wall." Su Fan said, "The wild antelope relies on the large diameter The guide wheels moved forward in an orderly manner against the wall on one side. Although the speed was slightly slower, the stability was extremely strong."
"The Konglong is known for being able to adapt to any track. Although the balanced racing car is not as stable as the Wild Antelope on this continuous serpentine curve, it does not show any risks. What about the Light Speed War Dragon? The Light Speed War Dragon seems to be in a little trouble."
< br>After the Light Speed War Dragon entered this corner, its speed did not slow down at all. The moment it entered the first small corner, the left front wheel of the Light Speed War Dragon floated slightly, but it was quickly crushed. came down, but the front wheel on the right side of the second turn was raised again. In several consecutive turns, the light speed war dragon tried back and forth between overturning.
"Although the Speed of Light Dragon is not much behind the two cars in front of it, its running method of repeated trials in the turning room made the audience sweat. Didn't Lin Bo racer based on the conditions of the track before the race? Adjust the equipment? This snake-shaped curve is three kilometers long, and there are already several dangers in less than 200 meters. Can he continue to finish this section of the track?" Han Qiao said with some worry.
Contrary to what the commentators and the audience were worried about, Lin Shao, who was running with the Lightspeed War Dragon beside the track, did not seem to be in a hurry at all. With the blessing of the downhill force brought by the aerodynamic chassis, When faced with this kind of runway, the Light Speed War Dragon just can't speed up while cornering like the Speedy Cobra and Terrifying Tiger. Although the Light Speed War Dragon looks like it will overturn at any time, it can actually be said to be stable. One group, the silver dragon behind Lin Shu still had time to have fun non-stop. It could be seen that it was very excited to come to the place where the Chinese ancestral dragon was.
Li Jialiang and Xie Peng, who were closest to Lin De, were the first to notice something was wrong. Although the Light Speed War Dragon's skills on this curve were extremely rough, its speed was not slow at all. The two of them simply couldn't The most important thing is that after getting rid of the pursuit of the light speed war dragon, the light speed war dragon has been running for almost 500 meters and has gone through many corners. The light speed war dragon is still in such a situation that it cannot turn over, one or two curves like this It can still be considered luck, but the light speed war dragon has been running for so long, so it can't be just luck.
Xie Peng, who was not far away from Lin Shu, noticed that every time the Light Speed War Dragon showed signs of taking off, it would forcibly stabilize its body under the action of the downhill force. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "What is this?" The downhill power is too exaggerated, but its body is clearly the most extreme ultra-low drag shape of a super-high-speed express car." The commentators in the studio also discovered something was wrong. In the previous studio, Han Qiao has already started discussing with Su Fan how long the light speed war dragon can last in this state without overturning.
"Can you hold on?"
"Can't hold on."
"Still running?"
As the light-speed battle dragon continues to move, the two of them The look of surprise on his face became more and more intense. It was Dr. Chen Sanyuan, a professional in the field who discovered the clues first and took the initiative to open the registration information of the Light Speed War Dragon. When he saw the wind grooves on the chassis, he Suddenly he realized, "That's it."
"Did Dr. Chen discover anything?" The professional commentator gave timely compliments.
"We can see that the body shape of the Light Speed War Dragon adopts a design with almost the same front and rear height in order to minimize air resistance. This design is similar to the full speed of the Golden Armor War Dragon used by Lin Bo in the Shanghai Trials. The posture is very similar." After Dr. Chen said, the full-speed posture shown by the Golden Armored Dragon in the trial appeared in the broadcast, "This design can reduce the air resistance the car encounters during running. Greatly reduced, but the subsequent weakness is that this design will also greatly reduce the downhill force of the car, thereby reducing the stability of the car and the grip of the tires."
"But this light speed war machine. While adopting an ultra-low wind resistance body, Long has given the downhill force to this special chassis,” said Dr. Chen.
"Special chassis?" Su Fan asked curiously, "Dr. Chen, can you explain it to everyone?"
"Generally speaking, the chassis of mini racing cars are almost flat, so Reduce the wind resistance at the bottom of the car, but the chassis of the Lightspeed Dragon has many special wind grooves that guide the air flowing through the bottom of the car. Under the guidance of these wind grooves, a unique Nuber force effect will be formed at the bottom of the car. The car is firmly attached to the ground, which greatly improves the downhill force. This is why the Light Speed War Dragon can pass the test of these curves steadily even though it looks very thrilling on this track. "Chen. said the doctor.
"Is that so? It seems that the Light Speed War Dragon is stronger than we thought." Although Han Qiao didn't quite understand what Dr. Chen said, he still nodded and said .
"We can see that when the three leading drivers passed the first maintenance point at the Anding Gate, they all chose to skip the maintenance point directly. Behind them, cars were entering to replace parts one after another. We can pay attention to Yes, most of the cars entering the repair station are ultra-high-speed cars. What is the reason for this?" Su Fan asked.
“Maybe it’s because the guide wheels and spigots of the super-fast express cars bear too much pressure on the front corners. Compared with the cornering method of high-torque cars that safely follow the track. , the ultra-high-speed express trains mostly use the reckless passing method of light speed battle dragon on this kind of serpentine curve, but the continuous collision caused by this method puts too much pressure on the guide wheel and the faucet. I think it should be There are already some players whose chassis is almost unable to hold up, so they have to replace it with new parts,” said Dr. Chen.
“But because the light-speed battle dragon’s head integrated with the body is made of solid ZMC material, there is no such problem, right?” Su Fan reasoned.
"Yes." Dr. Chen nodded.
“In the maintenance area, there is still a gap in proficiency among the players in terms of the speed of replacing parts. He Qiang, a player from Shu Province, replaces parts very quickly. He relies on the speed of replacing parts. In terms of speed, he surpassed him by two places when he started again. On the contrary, it was Liu Minghao from Jin Province. He was obviously the second to arrive in the pit area, but he had not started yet. His speed of changing parts was quite unparalleled in F1. The style of the legendary team Ferrari." After Han Qiao finished speaking, Su Fan and Dr. Chen Sanyuan beside him became a little nervous.
Compared with Lin Shu's previous life, the popularity of F1 events in this world has increased by more than 10 times, and the scale of the Iron Buddha Temple has naturally increased by more than 10 times. Su Fan's old habit of opening his mouth to talk to Han Qiao seems to be coming back. In order to avoid being exposed, Su Fan quickly changed the subject.
“Wang Lintian, another well-known player who has high hopes for this race, his car Charge War Eagle was not so satisfactory in the first half of the track, although he has surpassed some in this section of the track. The car is equipped with high torque, but compared with the Lightspeed Dragon, which is also equipped with ultra-high speed, it seems to be somewhat inadequate. I hope it can perform wonderfully on the track in the future."
"Leading the group. The three cars have now entered the second section of the track. They came to the north of the city wall, a difficult straight track full of jumping platforms and saddles. After entering the straight line, the Wild Antelope, as a high-torque racing car, lacks the straight-line limit speed. Weaknesses also began to show up, and they were gradually pushed away by the Light Speed War Dragon and the Sky Dragon. The Light Speed War Dragon also won the first place here in one fell swoop! Now it’s time to enter the first platform, and the Light Speed War Dragon flies up! It landed smoothly! Beautiful!" Han Qiao said passionately.
