Chapter 257 Qualifying
The dead memories began to attack Xiao Hao and Huo Yuesheng. At the same time, Nie Ming’s behavior of driving the car in front of the opponent’s pit area also made the nearby media feel They got the taste of the news, so they all joined in.
When Xiao Hao and Huo Yuesheng saw this, they turned around and left in perfect agreement.
"Xiao Hao, you will be here in a minute. Let's check the status of the Charge."
"Yes, that's right, this is the first time the Charge has appeared, but Nothing can go wrong.”
The two of them sang and harmonized, leaving Nie Ming alone.
"Hey! You two!" Nie Ming shouted dissatisfied in the car, but Xiao Hao and Huo Yuesheng left without looking back.
In the studio of Five Star Sports, the domestic broadcaster of this game and the most professional racing broadcast media in China, Li Bing laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
At this time, the other two commentators cast curious eyes, seeming to ask why he was laughing.
Because he was not in a CCTV studio, Li Bing had a lot less scruples and directly spoke out the slogans of these three people.
"This kid must have had a hard time these past few years." Brother Ran glanced at Huo Yuesheng in the camera and said with some sympathy.
As the warm-up match progressed, CF cars and drivers from each team appeared one after another.
Among them are famous drivers who have made their mark in the F1 field, and there are also many new faces who are taking off in the new era.
“Ferrari is on the scene, and the lap times in the warm-up races are very fast. It seems that after entering the era of CF racing, teams with strong technical accumulation in the past also have great advantages.” Brother Ran said, "After completing the warm-up lap, Ferrari's No. 2 car also drove to the DRS maintenance area."
After the cockpit of the fiery red Ferrari Pegasus opened, Okita Kai also took off his helmet. , said hello to the Eagle Feather Dragon in the safety car.
Not long after, Mercedes-AMG's No. 2 car also arrived in front of the DRS pit area, and Hijikata Ling also came face-to-face with Chong Tianhai who had not yet left.
"Haha, the popularity of the DRS team is really good. Many drivers will come over to say hello after completing the warm-up lap." Brother Ran laughed when he saw this scene in the Five Star Sports studio.
“Because CF racing requires the cooperation between drivers and AI, many former WGP players will join this competition. They are all old rivals of the two main drivers of DRS.” Li Bing said.
“It’s DRS’s turn to warm up, and Tai Chi Dragon has entered the track.” Li Bing said, “At the F1 Neon Station more than half a year ago, Lin Shu’s performance with this car must have left an impression on everyone. Very impressive, so this time, will they continue their magic?”
After Lin Dai entered the track in the Tai Chi War Dragon, he slipped safely for a lap and returned. In the maintenance station.
"It seems that Lin Dai has no intention of exerting his strength in the warm-up match. If you want to see the performance of this car, you may have to wait until tomorrow's qualifying match." Li Bing was a little disappointed, mainly because after looking forward to it for a long time, Lin Shu chose a safe running method.
“The next one is the No. 2 car of DRS, oh!” When Xiao Hao drove the Charge onto the track, Li Bing and the audience couldn’t help but exclaimed. .
Although Xiaohao has used a total of four vehicles including Tornado Charge, Leap Charge, Lightning Charge, and Buffalo Charge in his WGP career, in terms of popularity among the audience, it is the Tornado Charge that he rides on. The original tank was the most popular when it entered the international arena.
Now, the almost fully amplified Tornado Charge stepped onto the field, and almost all of these spectators had seen the first two WGPs, so naturally they cheered endlessly.
Xiao Hao was also very considerate and increased his horsepower from the beginning, completing a warm-up lap faster than all the previous riders.
"This car is really fast!" Li Bing exclaimed.
Soon, twenty cars and drivers from ten teams were unveiled one after another. Even if most of these new CF cars were running at a reduced speed, they would surpass the performance of many F1 cars. Naturally, Racing fans all over the world are looking forward to the next day’s qualifying and Sunday’s race.
After finishing the media conference, Fujiyoshi, the team manager, and Xiao Lie, the technical director, returned to the hotel where they were resting with tired faces. Since their two drivers did not attend the press conference, they naturally It was under siege by the media.
Lin Cao was too lazy to go, but Xiao Hao originally planned to go. Naturally, his pushy personality would not miss this opportunity, but Huo Yuesheng told him to go with just one sentence. I honestly gave up the idea of going for an interview.
“That guy Nie Ming came to look for us just now. We ran away and the media didn’t interview us. What if you went to the press conference and people asked? They could uncover all our dark history! ”
Like Huo Yuesheng, Xiao Hao, who was also ridiculed for his childish talk, immediately gave up the idea of going for an interview and stayed in the hotel to discuss arrangements for tomorrow's qualifying match.
“In tomorrow’s qualifying race, the pole position must be mine!” Xiao Hao said confidently.
“Judging from today’s warm-up match, Xiao Hao is indeed capable of competing for the pole position. So, what about you, Ah?” J asked.
"As for me, I'll probably make it to Q2?" Lin Bo said uncertainly. Since the last time he inadvertently entered the Zero Realm, every time he trains, as long as the Tai Chi Dragon's speed exceeds 400, He will enter that field involuntarily.
Lin Biao is not as resistant to entering the Zero Realm as Kaga, but the physical load of the Zero Realm is still too great for him now.
Even if he strengthened his physical training after the first coma, he could only maintain that state for about three seconds at most. He wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, and after entering that state, his spirit would be sluggish for a while. Time, takes about a week to recover.
So, in addition to being a trump card, the Zero Realm is currently a special burden for Lin Shu.
Because Lin Shu still has no way to choose whether to enter this state on his own, this other racing driver has not touched the threshold at all. For him, it is like there is no door at all. As long as the speed is reached, it will happen naturally. He went in without giving him any chance to refuse. However, if Lin Tie wants to compete for the pole position, then the speed and instantaneous acceleration can be said to have reached the threshold of entering the zero field. It will be funny if he gets the pole position but cannot start the race!
"Is it still because of the magical state you mentioned?" Gao Xiaoman frowned and said, "But in normal training, Xiaohao is already very fast. He passed you, but he showed no sign of entering the state you mentioned.”
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Dai's strength had indeed improved significantly after entering that state, he could have surpassed Xiao Hao in two seconds during the test, and could perform some running methods that even AI simulation could not guarantee 100% completion of. They really thought that Lin Cao was hallucinating.
“I don’t know why.” Lin De shook his head, “Probably because I entered this state when I was 11 years old, so the threshold is much lower than Xiaohao. "
"11 years old?" Chen Hewang asked curiously, "Is that when we participated in the first WGP? "
"I was in the finals. When facing the double tornadoes of Xiao Hao and Xiao Lie," Lin Ye explained.
“Did you enter that state at that time?” After hearing Lin Shu’s words, Xiao Hao also recalled, “No wonder I remember that time, when you overtook me and my brother, you It gave us a completely different feeling, as if you had seen through all our running methods. But after that, even if your car was replaced by a Tyrannosaurus Rex, I never felt that in you. A feeling.”
"By the way, what does that feeling feel like?" Xiao Hao asked curiously. As a man who has been pursuing speed all his life, he couldn't help but become curious after learning about the magical state mentioned by Lin Xie. .
“How should I put it? In that state, the condition of the vehicle, the condition of the road surface and the changes in the surrounding environment are all under my control, and, with complete concentration, at the intersection of all information , I feel like I can see all the possibilities in the next one to two seconds," Lin said.
"This feeling... I really want to experience it once." Lin Shu's words made Xiao Hao extremely fascinated.
“You should be able to do it.” Lin De said, “However, for me, the trouble caused by this state far outweighs its effect.”
Follow Lin De's own guess now is that the Zero Realm is, to put it bluntly, after the physical body reaches its limit, the mental power will guide the driver to a new realm. The reason why he has this problem is probably because his mental power is too high. Strong, so strong that the physical body can no longer keep up, so there is no need to reach the limit of the human physical body to activate this state. After all, the length of time he has studied in the system space over the years has almost been enough for him for three lifetimes. , the improvement of mental power is naturally also very considerable.
Therefore, the most important thing for him now is to improve his physical strength.
At the same time, he could also vaguely feel that the Zero Realm was not the end point for human riders. There was a broader sky waiting for him above. (Guess what this new realm is, it comes from a non-traditional racing series)
"Then, Ah, you can just figure it out tomorrow. We will do our best to help Xiaohao compete for the pole position. ." Huo Yuesheng said.
......
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, under the spotlight, the second day of qualifying officially started.
Qualifying still continues the tradition of F1 and is divided into three stages. The first stage of Q1 is within fifteen minutes from 14:00 to 14:15. All drivers can decide by themselves when to start and how many laps to run, and they The best lap time completed will be used as the first stage of qualifying. After this stage, the five slowest cars will be the last five cars on the grid for the main race, and the remaining cars will enter Q2. Competition.
After the time was up, Xiao Hao immediately drove out in the Tornado Charge.
The next moment, many players followed closely behind.
"Oh! It's really lively! It's rare to see such an intense qualifying match starting from Q1!" Brother Ran said in surprise in the studio of Five Star Sports.
“After all, this is the first race of the first GPX. As the first race of a new era of formula racing, the value and historical significance of this pole position are completely different. Therefore, with strength All the riders will want to compete," Li Bing said.
"Magnum, the first lap is enough for you to accelerate and warm up!" Xiao Hao in the cab looked at the rear vehicle information coming from the terminal and said confidently, "I am in pole position for this race. Must win!”
“More than enough, let’s go!” Magrum System also responded with confidence.
"Let's go! Magrum!"
Xiao Hao stepped on the accelerator, the super battery inside the Charge began to increase power output, and the powerful engine began to run explosively.
"Xiao Hao, I will definitely win this time!" Nie Ming, who was driving the Aurora and biting the tail of the Charge, shouted in the cockpit, "Aurora, speed up! ”
"Mr. Nie Ming, the current speed of the Aurora is already at the limit that your operational level can 100% control. If it accelerates any further, there will be a risk of losing control. Are you sure you want to accelerate?" the Aurora system replied.
“OK, OK, OK!” Nie Ming kept urging. In just a moment, Xiao Hao was about to pull away from him, and at the same time, the Ferrari and Mercedes cars behind him were also coming. Keep approaching.
"Understood." After the Aurora system confirmed it, the Aurora also started to accelerate. However, having lost the opportunity, he could only try to get rid of other cars chasing behind him before he could Trying to catch up with the Charger who is leading the pack in terms of lap time.
“Did you find it?” Gao Xiaoman, who had been watching the situation of the game in the maintenance area, smiled and said, “Compared to the two cars of our team, the cars of other teams are all at this time. There are similar problems, the acceleration is not decisive enough, and their AI is too mechanized in its judgment."
"Even with the source code given by Ade, the engineers of each team cannot change their thinking. Just convert it." Xiaolie smiled, "They give the AI too little authority. Even a simple speed increase requires the driver's confirmation before it can be carried out. Silvery and Magnum have the authority to make their own decisions on this matter. It was okay in qualifying, but in the main race, they would have suffered a big loss.”
"DRS Racing Team's No. 2 Charge has completed the first lap and entered the second lap at full speed. It is currently far ahead in lap speed!" Li Bing said excitedly, "This is the driver who created the F2 season championship. "Is it the strength?"
At this moment, two cars like fire broke out of the encirclement. Ferrari's two CF racing cars, Tianma, gradually caught up with the speed of Charge!
"Are they Carlo and Ahai? I guess they have realized this." Eagle Feather Dragon said.
