Chapter 269
The third main game kicked off with everyone’s attention.
The Five Star Sports trio sat in the commentary box early, waiting for the start of the game. However, today, most of the viewers who can understand English have entered the North American racing channel, because today, they Here are some special online guests.
“Hey, did you hear that?” Edward Sanchez, the first racing commentator in North America, introduced himself and connected to a special video call.
"You can hear it! There is no problem with signal transmission." A slightly cold voice sounded on the channel, and the face of a blond young man appeared on the screen. Beside him, a man with his hair tied around The blond girl on the back of her head also stuck her head out. At the same time, behind the two of them, there was the back of a red-haired boy.
Before the blond young man could say hello, a strange scene happened. A kettle slowly floated past several people, spinning around.
When the blond young man saw the scene, his face immediately darkened. He turned back and reached out to hold the kettle, and then shouted to the left: "Uncle Romanov! Put away your daily necessities! We still have to work here. !”
“Sorry, sorry.” At this time, a balding middle-aged man floated over, caught the kettle and floated back.
"It seems that there was a little hiccup, but it doesn't matter. It will take some time for the GPX competition to start." Edward smiled, "I think the audience has already figured out where our guests are now. So, say hello to everyone. "
"You are talking as if we are not from the earth. Hello everyone, I am Brett. I am very happy to be able to watch GPX with you on the International Space Station today. Competition.”
"Hello everyone, I'm Qiao!" Qiao smiled and waved to the camera.
“Hello everyone, I’m Aiji.” Aiji behind them also turned around and said hello.
"You must be familiar with the drivers who shined in the first two games. After all, they were once your old rivals." Edward said.
“That’s true. During the training before coming up, I often heard news about Michael and Carlo in the F1 race. I didn’t expect that after spending more than half a year in space, formula racing has also entered a new era. "Brett said.
“So, as someone who has competed with this group of drivers, do you have any special thoughts?” Edward said with a smirk.
"You want to say envy, right?" Brett also smiled, "Then I'm not envious at all. They pursue faster speeds, but I've already driven the spaceship with the first cosmic speed. If you want to say envy, I don't think so. They must be envious of me."
"Okay, so, does Brett have a team and driver to support?" Edward asked.
"Of course it's DRS! Lin Shu won two consecutive championships at the beginning!" Brett said.
"So, what about Joe?"
"Same as him." Joe smiled.
"What's the reason?" Edward asked.
"My boyfriend still works on that guy's team. Can I say that I support other teams? That guy doesn't have big ideas!"
Qiao's complaints made the studio The atmosphere became joyful.
After Edward chatted with the three people in the space station for a few words, in the live broadcast, all the riders also started to warm up.
After twenty cars circled the field, they were arranged in front of the starting point in the order determined by qualifying. A moment later, the signal lights also came on.
"The race has begun! The Aurora continued the state of yesterday's qualifying, firmly holding the first place after the start, and the second-place Tornado Charge also picked up speed immediately after the start. The Xingmahao players seemed to be very excited about yesterday's performance. I am very dissatisfied with the result of the match, and I wanted to decide the outcome with Nie Ming as soon as the match started," Kevin Lee, another commentator next to Edward, said quickly.
"You don't seem surprised at all?" Edward asked curiously, seeing that the expressions of the three Bretts did not change at all.
“We have been watching this scene since we were ten years old. What’s so surprising? It’s not surprising when the guy sitting in the DRS pit area also joins in.” Aiji complained.
“Speaking of which, in the Charge of the Four Idiots back then, Barocli seemed to have gone to study art, and Huo Yuesheng seemed to have a talent limit in reaction, so he couldn’t drive a racing car, otherwise he would definitely not have missed it. Yes, after all, there is no reason for the final winner of the competition for the fastest man in the world to miss this event," Joe said in a casual tone with Brett.
"The fastest in the world? How interesting." The man in the studio suddenly showed a knowing smile.
At this time, in the DRS maintenance station, Huo Yuesheng frantically shook the shoulders of Ying Yulong who was watching his girlfriend's live broadcast, and at the same time shouted: "I said you can take care of your girlfriend! Don't say anything to others. Say it!”
“Well, now I’m going to be embarrassed abroad.” Gao Xiaoman also complained at this time.
“Ahhh!” Huo Yuesheng said frantically. If there was a chance for him to travel through time, I think he would not hesitate to return to the place where he rose to prominence in the Mystery Racing Competition in Beijing. One day, and then beat to death the boy who was about to say "I am the fastest man in Beijing" at the top of the podium.
“Oh? The Muller player who got the fourth pick yesterday and his MCL-C01 seemed unwilling to let the two steal the spotlight, speeding up and joining the battle group. The 16-year-old driver Although he is the youngest among the twenty riders currently, this is also his first appearance in a GPX event. At the beginning of the game, he launched a sprint for the top spot," said Kevin. "This player seems to be your junior. His resume includes the experience of representing the German team in the third WGP. Do you have any impression of him?" Edward asked.
"To be honest, we all retired during the third year. We were very busy training astronauts. How could we have so much time to continue watching WGP events?" Brett said.
“Okay, but this player’s final result in that WGP was runner-up, which was better than the results of any of the two competitions that several people participated in, and they defeated China "War Dragon Team." Edward Gonghuo said, "You know, you have never defeated the Chinese War Dragon Team, even when they were in their worst form in the second season."
" The Space Rover team has always been a training project for NASA's young astronauts, and the results are not that important." Brett's mouth twitched, "Besides, the Chinese Dragon Team they won was the same as ours. Is something going on?”
“Okay, let’s skip this unpleasant topic for a while. Muller has now caught up with Yuri’s Aurora No. 2 car, but "It seems a bit difficult for him to pass through the defense line guarded by Yuri. Speaking of which, did you see Yuri's operation yesterday when he pulled the out-of-control Aurora of Nie Ming back to the track?" Kevin asked.
“Before we came to explain, we watched the racing forum, which was all about the replays of those few seconds.” Edge said.
"Speaking of it, in the tradition of formula racing, the No. 2 car usually exists as an auxiliary position for the No. 1 car. Half of the GPX teams also continued this tradition when they established the team. However, in the current standings, On the contrary, the teams that did not follow this tradition to build a team ranked at the front. DRS, which ranked first, told the world directly in the team name that Dragon and Revolver were equally matched, while the others maintained the No. 2 support car. The traditional team of No. 1 car, but the two cars were out of the championship zone together," Edward said.
“However, the performance of player Yuri yesterday also showed us the strength of the traditionalists.” Kevin added, “What do people in the universe think of this?”
“I "Can you please change the name?" In response to the teasing of the two commentators in the studio, Brett started to answer the question, "As Lin De announced at the Fuji Lake Circuit, it is now a formula car. It’s a new era. In the new era, all running methods have not been finalized. Which one is the better choice still needs time to test.”
“Brett, be bold, no one thinks about it. Listen to this official statement,” Edward complained.
“Well, I prefer the team building methods like DRS, Ferrari, and Mercedes. I remember that in the tradition of F1, the second driver has no competition if the first driver is not eliminated. However, it is a new era now. What tradition should we follow? Racing drivers should pursue the first place!”
"Wu~~~" The two commentators in the studio cheered, very satisfied with Brett's explosive speech.
“But now, after finding that he could not directly join the battle group of Aurora No. 1 and Tornado Charge, Muller chose to bypass Yuri’s defense.”
Soon, As soon as the broadcast camera turned, the first car to be eliminated in the race appeared. The No. 2 driver of the North American team USCF, Alan Camp, who was ranked 14th, was eliminated when overtaking at the hairpin corner!
"Since the bankruptcy of Detroit, it seems that the level of racing in our country has hit rock bottom." Edward shrugged, not caring that the drivers of their own team were eliminated, "This is the case no matter what competition it is. , let alone formula racing. Among the six teams that qualified for the finals of the first WGP, only we have never won the WGP championship. Even the Spanish team that ranked last in the finals at the time was in the fifth WGP. I won the championship in an upset."
"I can only be responsible for the first two. As for the subsequent ones, it has nothing to do with me," Brett said after shrugging.
"But to be honest, after entering the era of CF racing, we initially thought that the addition of AI could narrow the technical gap between drivers. However, we did not expect that after it really started, the technical gap between drivers became increasingly large. Big, the current speed of the first and second tier drivers through this corner is much faster than Allen, but they can handle it with ease."
"After all, the speed is completely different, compared to F1. , the speed of CF racing cars has been completely explosive. For previous F1 drivers, some people can control the speed of F1 because they can only adapt to the speed of F1, but for others, the speed of F1 is the opposite. It limits their performance," Joe said.
“That’s it!” Edward nodded. “Everyone thought that AI would become a prosthetic limb for some less powerful drivers, but AI said, I will only tear off your fig leaf!”
The next second, Edward and Kevin shouted in unison: "Alan Camp, you are fired!"
"Have you always been like this?" The two people in the studio were frightened. The trio of astronauts jumped, "Hell, you guys can easily remind me of a cornhead who met us before we flew into space."
"I know you want me to say that name, but unfortunately, our program is sponsored by the Blue Party." Edward quickly changed the subject after saying, "The camera is focused on the second echelon, who is there? Lin? The five cars of Shu, Carlo, Mihail, Okita Kai, and Hijikata Rei were running very close to each other. It looked like the Tai Chi Dragons were surrounded by two teams."
"They are currently surrounded by two teams. Their speed is relatively stable, and their explosive acceleration methods have not been used yet. It seems that they are still planning to use their strength in the second half of the race," Kevin said, "But guess what, after today's game is over, there will be some of them. How many of them were carried back to the rest area on stretchers?”
“Lin Cai and Michael were carried back to the rest area on stretchers for two consecutive games. Although Carlo insisted on walking back to the rest area in the last game, But I felt like he was holding on, because his expression at the end was exactly the same as when I was kicked out of bed by my wife," Edward said.
"About this, their official explanation is that the driver suffered too much acceleration during sprinting and the physical exertion was particularly serious, so this kind of thing happened." Kevin said, "However, to When it comes to withstanding acceleration, our astronauts have something to say."
"Thank God, you finally didn't expel us," Brett said. "Lin's reaction was normal. The speed when sprinting is almost 700. At that speed, the blood supply to the brain will be greatly affected, but they still have to stay awake. In addition, they are not like astronauts like us who often receive similar training. They have already gotten used to this acceleration, so this situation occurs. However, I think they will be almost used to it after they faint for a few more games.”
"So, if you were in their situation, you wouldn't faint?" Kevin said.
"Nonsense, when the rocket took off, we suffered stronger acceleration than them, but we still overcame it through training." Brett said.
"So, regarding the Zero Realm they proposed, did you feel it when you took off on the rocket?" Edward asked.
"Zero Realm? What is that?" Brett asked puzzled.
“This is the definition mentioned in a report jointly released by DRS, Ferrari and Mercedes.” Kevin explained to him. Later, Kevin also said something special for Brett. In the report, Lin Shu, Mihail and Carlo recounted their experiences in the Zero Realm.
