Chapter 267 The third scene, the beginning
After the Aurora was freed from the out-of-control state, Nie Ming looked at the other Aurora not far from the side of the car in great surprise.
"What are you doing standing still? Speed up." Yuri's gentle voice sounded in the team channel.
“Oh.” Nie Ming also reacted and started to speed up again.
At this time, Vatanen also reminded in the channel: "Nie Ming, try some more extreme operations, Yuri, you can keep up."
"I'll try my best," Yuri said calmly.
After hearing the coach's instructions, Nie Ming became bolder. Although Yuri tried his best, he still kept up with Nie Ming's speed.
And, when Nie Ming is in danger of losing control, Yuri's car will always arrive at the right location as soon as possible to provide him with assistance.
"Wuhu! It's really fun to run like this!" Nie Ming said happily, and then further increased the speed of the Aurora.
Of course, Yuri's ability to avoid dangers has its limits. After assisting Nie Ming three times in a row to pass corners in a high-risk way, the fourth time Nie Ming exceeded his control amidst the warning sound of the AI. When the Aurora was cornering at a speed of 30% of the force limit, the Aurora was still completely out of control. This time, Yuri not only failed to pull him back, but he was also implicated by the out-of-control Aurora, and both of them triggered the protection program.
The bumpy body of the out-of-control Aurora startled Yuri. Yuri, who had been focusing on keeping up with Nie Ming, realized that their speed just now seemed to have exceeded 500!
"If you lose control of the car at this speed...you will die!" Yuri swallowed after failing to bring the car back under control.
However, when the Aurora stopped smoothly after hitting the blocking wall around the track, Yuri was stunned for a moment. Is this okay? Later, Yuri realized that this was a CF racing car, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Coach! The front wheel axle is damaged, and the suspension is also partially damaged. It can be repaired in about a day." Nie Ming walked out of the steaming cockpit and trotted towards Yuri. He ran over there and told Vatanen about the AI's self-test report.
“Damn, this kid crashed a car and gained experience!” The maintenance workers in the technical team cursed. They can also receive the AI self-test data here, and they have no idea about Nie Ming’s car. The estimated repair time was exactly what Nie Ming said.
After Nie Ming came to Yuri's car, he pulled Yuri out of the cockpit, then took a look at the self-inspection data of the car, and frowned: "Your car is a little more troublesome than mine, Blizzard The propeller was damaged in the impact, and I don’t know if there is a spare. As for other minor damages, they can be repaired soon.”
“Sorry, the car was damaged.” You. Li said apologetically.
"Hey, this accident wouldn't have happened if I was running high," Nie Ming carelessly held Yuri's shoulders and walked towards the maintenance area, "Let's go, we can't train if the car breaks down. , let’s go out to eat at noon, I’ll treat you.”
“You’re in a good mood.” The technician who came with the tow truck looked at the two of them with some resentment.
When Vladimir was still here, they only needed to repair one car while working overtime. As a result, the new driver had to send the car to the repair shop for his first real car training. This is also This means their overtime hours have to be doubled again.
"Sorry, sorry! I will pack a big meal for everyone!" Nie Ming said with a generous smile.
"Okay, you little brat has some conscience." said the staff of the technical team, "Remember to say hello to the director before you leave."
Nie Ming's temper is indeed difficult. It makes people feel disgusted. Looking at Nie Ming's back while communicating with Yuri, the maintenance workers shook their heads helplessly and got into work.
Maranello, Italy.
After the two Tianma cars passed the speed measuring point one after another, the faces of the technical team behind them showed excitement. The lap speed of 570km/h greatly refreshed the Tianma car’s performance in this training ground. Record.
"How do you feel, Carlo, Xiaohai?" Ferrari's technical team leader asked in the channel: "The optimized Apollo aerodynamic components are not bad."
"Of course." Okita Hai's words He was filled with excitement, "Although there is not much improvement in straight-line bursting, the controllability when cornering is greatly optimized. With this, our speed in corners is much faster!"< br>
“Of course!” Ferrari’s technical director said proudly: “Only in corners can the driver’s skills be fully demonstrated. As for those propellers and the means of overloading the engine, they are all barbarian gameplay. That’s it! Talking about the aerodynamics of racing cars! We are the strongest in the world.”
“What about stability?” Carlo asked at this time.
"Don't worry about this. The Apollo components have been installed on the Mustang after rigorous testing. There will definitely be no problems!" Ferrari's technical director immediately patted his chest and said, but he Before he could finish his words, a short stick made of paper fell on his head!
"Old Den! What are you promising!" Sally yelled angrily while knocking the old man on the head.
As Carlo's assistant, Sally has been with Carlo since he started driving karts. During this period, the technical team assisting Carlo also changed batch after batch.
However, whether it is WGP, or F3, F2, or even F1, Ferrari's technical team seems to like to make some kind of guarantee, and then give Carlo a big job in the subsequent games.
So, now Sally is almost suffering from PTSD after hearing the words guarantee.
"Hey! Show some respect to me, an old man!" Ferrari's technical director said hurriedly while avoiding the paper stick.
……
Germany, Mercedes training ground.
Hijikata Rei drove the AMG-01. After turning on the turbocharging system, he tried his best to increase the speed.
Hijifang in the cockpit gritted his teeth and felt the pressure brought by the gradually increasing acceleration. At the same time, the fatigue caused by running dozens of laps in a row also began to hit him at this time, physically and mentally. The double pressure caused his vision to gradually become blurred.
“Aling, hold on!” said Mihail, who was closely watching the data monitoring of Hijikata Ling’s car in the pit area. “Restrain the instinct to slow down, continue to speed up, then relax and go as far as possible. Pay attention to the details around you and feel the speed at the same time.”
Hijikata gritted his teeth and held on, but as Mihail said, he relaxed his mind and carefully felt the pressure brought by this speed.
After reaching the limit of body and spirit, these few seconds seemed like centuries to Hijikata Rei! But in the next moment, Hijikata Rei captured the flash of miracle, and everything around him suddenly became clear.
"Is this...the realm of zero?" Hijikata Rei felt the special feeling of being in control of everything around him and said blankly, but only a second passed. However, Hijikata Ling fainted because he could not withstand the huge consumption of the Zero Realm. Before he fainted, Hijikata Ling seemed to see a knight in silver armor saluting him on a war horse.
AMG-01's protection program was triggered, and Mihail quickly called the surrounding staff who had been prepared to go to support.
Since Mihail had also trained in this way some time ago, the Mercedes medical team was already familiar with the situation and rushed out carrying a stretcher.
That night, Hijikata Rei slowly woke up in Mercedes' infirmary.
"You're awake." After seeing Hijikata Rei waking up, Mihail who was standing by the bed thoughtfully handed over a glass of water with a straw inserted. He had experience in this field and naturally knew that from then on What it feels like to wake up in this state.
"How do you feel?" Mihail continued to ask after Hijikata Ling had replenished his water.
"Successful." Although Hijikata Ling on the bed was completely weak, he showed a happy smile, "Thank you, that state is exactly the same as what you said."
"It's not necessary to thank you. Your experience in rally racing is enough. All you need is to get used to the speed under the burst of turbocharging," Mihail said.
Hijikata Ling’s previous achievements in the rally field are no less than that of Xiao Hao. He is also the kind of super star that attracts worldwide attention. Moreover, he does not have the physical fitness like Xiao Hao and Nie Ming. Too strong and unbalanced, so the obstacle to him entering the Zero Realm is actually very small.
"I'm finally qualified to start the final competition with that guy. It's not easy." Hijikata Rei sighed. After entering the zero-crossing realm, Hijikata Rei could really feel that he was at zero. The strength of drivers in this realm will become so terrifying. It’s no wonder that the top three picks in two consecutive races are Lin Bo, Mihail, and Carlo. It is almost impossible for a driver who can master this realm to lose. For riders who cannot enter this state.
"Okay, if you're fine, just take a good rest. Let's try to give that guy a big surprise in the next race." After seeing that Hijikata Rei was fine, Mihail also got up and left the infirmary.
……
Time passed day by day, and the third round of GPX competition officially kicked off.
In Friday’s warm-up race, the drivers on the ten teams also began to undergo some changes.
First of all, it is the first appearance of Yuri, the second driver of the Arctic Fox Team. This driver who once left the reputation of the team king in the first WGP, which was known as the fight of gods, naturally Attracted most of the media's attention.
Most of the media and racing enthusiasts also expressed their expectations for his new combination with Nie Ming. After all, one of them was the former king of the team, and the other was a once-famous team cancer. They are loved all over the world. Looking forward to what kind of sparks the two of them will create as a team.
As for other teams, after two games, they have begun to set their sights on the former WGP players. But the problem is that those who are still fighting in the racing field basically already have teams. Others give up racing altogether for various reasons.
For example, I came here to watch the game between Arthur and Casillas, the captains of the Royal Knights of England and the Madrid Matadors of Spain. Arthur is currently studying philosophy at Cambridge University, and Casillas is amazing. Already the hottest new star in Spain's bullring.
When the two had dinner with Lin De and the others, they also mentioned that a GPX team had invited them, but they both declined.
However, Arthur did give Lin Bo some interesting news, that is, after discovering that almost all the top players in the first WGP group were defeated, several teams began to Focusing on the WGP players from the following years, this time Red Bull directly replaced the two representative players from the third WGP team. After Michael and Yeli retired, they won the runner-up.
McLaren, on the other hand, planned to send invitations to the two core members of the third WGP championship team, but had to give up because they had not yet finished high school.
"Hao Shu and Lie Ya? They do have a good eye for it." Lin Tie said. Speaking of which, after he finishes collecting system rewards and retires from GPX, he can call Hao Shu over and try Take his place.
"Anyway, go for it this time. We two came all the way to China, don't let us down." Casillas said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, your trip will definitely be worthwhile.” Lin Ye also said with a smile.
……
Saturday’s qualifying starts as usual.
Compared with the previous race, the track of this station has a slightly lower proportion of straight lines, but it is more complicated on the curves. This track was used by the American team when China hosted the WGP at its home stadium. The circuit, which was converted from the home circuit, is 6.84 kilometers long and has 80 laps.
Moreover, this track also has a very innovative set of five consecutive hairpin turns. The difficulty of this level is not low. In the warm-up match yesterday, everyone was not very fast, so the difficulty may not be very obvious.
But in qualifying, under the pressure of starting order, everyone's speed increased. In Q1 alone, three cars were eliminated at this corner.
In Q2, after the speed further increased, two more cars rushed off the track.
“Wouldn’t the difficulty of this kind of hairpin turn be a bit unreasonable for large racing cars, especially CF racing cars that can easily exceed 300 speeds per hour?” Li Bing, who was live broadcasting the qualifying session, saw this. After this tragic qualifying match, I couldn't help but question.
“However, several teams currently on the standings have performed very well on this track.”
"For example, in the previous two races, Tai Chi Zhan Long's qualifying performance was very average. On this track, he ranked in the top three in terms of lap times in both rounds. Lin Bo is planning to compete in this race. Are you competing for the pole position?”
“Then there are the two Ferrari drivers. They also have fast lap times on this track, and Carlo’s driver ranked first at full speed for two consecutive rounds. . ”
“After them, there are the two drivers from Red Bull. They have been silent before and their performance is very outstanding after changing the driver. It seems that the former WGP driver is indeed GPX. The password for victory," Li Bing complained.
“Q3 is about to begin, Carlo will start first, followed by Okitakai.”
