Chapter 287
Tai Chi War Dragon and Tornado Charge relied on the pull of the airflow to speed on the highway in Xiangjiang according to the road book given by the AI. Behind them, three drones were tightly Followed behind, the images of the two cars were projected into the live broadcast in real time.
However, this attempt does not seem to be very successful. In the footage captured by the drone, the scenery around Tai Chi Dragon and Tornado Charge flashes by quickly. The original plan of the organizer and Xiangjiang officials It was through the broadcast footage of the race that the world could appreciate the scenery of Hong Kong. However, after the CF racing cars picked up speed, in order to keep up with their speed, the pictures captured by the drones completely turned into a mess. Phantom, let alone the scenery, some viewers who suffered from motion sickness vomited after watching this scene for only a few minutes.
Tengyoshi, who was watching the race in the auditorium of Hongye Circuit with Brett, couldn't help but cursed: "What are these organizing committee people doing! Don't they test before making such an attempt? ”
However, this live broadcast effect is just right for some viewers who are looking for excitement.
"Tai Chi Dragon and Tornado Charge have almost caught up with the first echelon who have changed their tires for the first time." Li Bing said, "However, after seeing the two approaching, the Arctic Fox team started the thrusters again, thinking They need to keep a little distance. Do DRS want to chase? If they want to chase, Taiji Battle Dragon's thrusters should be able to catch up."
After Taiji Battle Dragon and Whirlwind Charge saw Nie Ming and the others speeding up. , simply stabilized at the current speed.
The AMG-01 that was left behind by Nie Ming and the others did not accelerate again.
“Ahead is the first tire changing point set by Mercedes. Their first tire changing point is the same as DRS, set at 70KM of the entire race.” Li Bing said, “At the same time, Their tactical choices are also pretty much the same, using hard tires to last as long as possible and leaving the opportunity to sprint to the second half.”
Tai Chi Fighting Dragon, Tornado Charge, and. The two AMG-01s maintained the current speed, and the two teams had no intention of interfering with each other. They ran clearly on both sides of the road, one to the left and the other to the right.
Soon, the four cars arrived at the first tire change point. He Wang led several technicians to help Tai Chi Dragon and Tornado Charge complete the tire change. Because the manpower was really insufficient, so compared to the past Each tire change takes about 2 seconds. This time, the two of them were delayed by nearly five seconds. Fortunately, although Mercedes on the other side of the road had enough manpower, it also had an additional process of replenishing fuel, so although DRS was delayed more, but it started earlier.
After coming out of the maintenance area, Lin Shu turned on the thruster. While the speed of the Tai Chi War Dragon increased sharply, the air flow generated also pulled the Cyclone Charge to speed up. It was not until the speed reached 370 that Lin Shu finally The thrusters were turned off and the position was made for the cyclone charge. After the whirlwind charge was completed, the airflow created by the smart spoiler began to be used to wrap the two cars in it, allowing the two to travel in a less consuming way. to speed up.
While the two were changing tires, the Tianma from behind also caught up.
Tornado Charge was driving side by side with Carlo's Tianma, trying to lead his teammates away from each other. At this time, the live broadcast also cut to the first perspective of the two people's cabs.
The Tianma AI named after the founder of the team kept talking about the road conditions: "A 155-degree right bend, then a 170-degree straight line, then a 147-degree right bend, then a 60-meter straight line, then a 90-degree Turn left..."
In Tornado Charge, Magnum's voice is like this: "Stop two, right three, fuel two, brake one, right three, fuel three, left full, full fuel..."
See this Several big question marks popped up in the heads of the audience at this scene. What are you doing now? What about encrypted calls?
However, after the cyclone charge gradually threw away the Tianma, Li Bing suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
"Enzo only provided Carlo with standard traffic information, but Carlo It will take some time for Luo to process this information. Although it is a blink of an eye for a driver of his level, the instructions provided by Magnum to Xing Mahao are something that Xing Mahao does not need to process at all. AI The situation on the track has been dealt with based on Xing Mahao’s daily driving habits.”
At the same time, the scene switched to the inside of the Tai Chi Dragon’s cockpit. Although Sliver’s instructions were inconsistent with those of him. The Magnum is completely different, but the paths taken by the two cars are basically the same.
"It seems that DRS is better in terms of tacit understanding with AI." Fei Ge said, "I heard that their two AIs, Sliver and Magnum, were developed from a blank piece of paper, just for two The driver serves alone, so it can be explained that there is such a tacit understanding."
At this time, Carlo also wanted to understand what the process that Lin Tie and Xiao Hao omitted was. But now there is no time for him to improve the AI. He can only focus more on processing the information given by the AI while speeding up to try to catch up with them.
"Hai, you will lead the next section. Increase your concentration and shorten the time to process the road information given by the AI as much as possible." After Carlo persisted for a while, he made way for Okita Hai who was behind him. Out of position.
"Got it." After Okita Kai took over Carlo's position, he also increased his concentration and led the Pegasus to keep up with the speed of the DRS. However, after persisting for a while, the two had to It was another shift change. Driving a CF racing car itself was a very stressful thing, and now they had to forcefully increase their concentration. This consumed a lot of their mental energy.
“Forget it, let them stay ahead in this section. If they forcefully keep up, it will consume too much.” After Carlo took over the position vacated by Okita Hai, he gritted his teeth and paused the acceleration. “They are using it now. It’s a hard tire, so even if I can take the lead, I can’t widen the gap to the point where I can’t catch up.”
"Aren't you going to follow? It's boring." Xiao Hao saw the two people slowing down their acceleration in the rearview mirror, curled his lips and said.
"Sliver, how much ahead of us is the Aurora currently?" Lin Shu asked.
"Sir, the Aurora is currently 1.7 kilometers ahead of you, and their current speed is basically the same as yours."
"Got it." Lin De nodded, the distance of 1.7 kilometers is not It's too difficult to catch up. When the tires are changed to soft tires next time, it won't take long to smooth out the gap if I can accelerate at full speed.
“At present, it seems that the situation ahead is basically stable. The Arctic Fox team has maintained the lead, DRS is not far behind, Ferrari and Mercedes have merged behind, and there are several four teams. The speed of the team has stabilized, "Li Bing said, "We will focus on the next echelon."
The camera turned, and Muller's MCL-C01 was now mixed in the echelon of the last six cars on the screen, driving slowly and unhurriedly. As the only one besides the Yonko of Ichi who could enter the Zero Realm, As a driver, he also received a lot of attention in this game.
"Mueller seems to have no intention of accelerating yet. He has already changed tires once and replenished fuel." Feige said, "But he is still in the last echelon. If he keeps running like this, Not to mention getting the ranking, it is difficult to even get the points. The distance between them and the last car in the points area, the No. 1 car of the Red Bull Racing Team, is already more than 4 kilometers."
"Mu. "What's going on? When the tires were changed last time, in addition to filling up the fuel, the thruster was also filled up with hydrogen. Logically speaking, he should be able to catch up immediately!" At this time, he was on the field! The situation made McLaren's technical director extremely anxious. Muller signed a three-year guaranteed contract, but he didn't! The team's performance in these few games has left him on the verge of being fired. "What did Muller say?" McLaren's technical director asked the technician not far away.
"Mueller asked the AI to actively disconnect the team's voice connection." the technician replied.
"How...how could this happen? Has the injury you suffered last time not fully recovered?"
At this moment, in the cockpit of MCL-C01, Muller's right hand was placed on the thruster gear several times. On top of the lever, although as long as he pushed down, MCL-C01's explosive speed would quickly throw away the group of people around him, but he never made up his mind to push down. To him, this gear lever seemed to Not a thruster switch, but a door to hell.
Ever since he was young, he has always been a genius on the racing circuit. He has been like this since WGP. He has always been very confident. The god of mini racing? It's just that he was born two years earlier than him. If he competes on the same stage, he may not be his opponent.
Everyone recognized his strength. Even his biggest opponent on the mini racing stage, a literary giant, admitted after the WGP final that he lost when it came to personal strength.
So, after the establishment of GPX and knowing that he had the opportunity to compete with Lin De, he did not hesitate to agree to McLaren's invitation in order to prove that, He has the strength to defeat Lin Shu.
At the same time, after the Zero Realm was announced, he entered that realm with a little practice, which further illustrates his talent.
But from that day on, he was also lost in the feeling of omnipotence. In the end, Lin De, who he had always regarded as a challenge, came to save him.
Although he survived, it was difficult for him to face the challenges of the future as a complete racing driver. He seemed to have lost the passion of a racing driver to pursue the ultimate in speed.
“That’s it, it seems good.” Muller took his hand back from the gear lever of the propeller. “After finishing this contract, we can go back to Munich to retire. Anyway, we defrauded the British people’s money. "
Mueller said to himself, but at this moment, Mihaier's words yesterday: "You can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself" for no reason. rang in Le's head.
"I..." Muller frowned and gritted his teeth, "Am I really lying to myself?"
At this time, in the last echelon, the No. 2 car of the Sauber team was the first to hold back. He stopped and started to accelerate, and the others followed suit. The last echelon's instant speedup left MCL-C01, the only one among them who did not accelerate immediately, behind.
“The lagging echelons have begun to accelerate, and they have launched a charge towards the points area.”
Mueller in the cab listened to the AI’s constant reminders of being overtaken, and clenched his right hand. the thruster lever.
"Damn it, just die! Even if you die! I will die at the fastest speed!" Mueller gritted his teeth and pushed the thruster directly to the highest gear.
MCL-C01's propeller spurted out blue flames in an instant, pushing the car to accelerate violently forward.
“Don’t block the road!” Muller, who had made up his mind, finally showed what he should be like as a Caesar on the racing track. The MCL-C01 in a violent acceleration state was easily controlled by him. Other cars that accelerated a step ahead were easily overtaken by it in a short period of time.
“Hey! Are you finally serious?” Li Bing said in surprise, “This is what Caesar should look like on the racing track!”
In the maintenance area of MCL, The technical director was in tears. Muller, who had high hopes for him, finally returned to normal, and his job was finally saved!
After Muller completed overtaking the last echelon, he continued to accelerate non-stop, chasing the car in front. It was not until the speed exceeded 550 that he felt the pressure of processing the information provided by the AI. Acceleration is temporarily suspended.
At this time, he once again felt the door to the Zero Realm, and he seemed to be able to hear the vague call coming from behind the door.
"It's not the time yet..." Mueller stared straight ahead, took a deep breath, and temporarily suppressed the idea of pushing open the door.
At this time, in the front echelon, the Arctic Fox team also completed the second tire change. After the second tire change, after using the propeller to increase the speed to 540, Nie Ming and You Li was not in a hurry to continue to speed up. They put on a set of hard tires this time, as long as they could maintain their current advantage before the last tire change.
Soon, Ferrari also arrived at the second maintenance point. This time, the people in charge of this point were technicians transferred from the team from F1, and some of them were old acquaintances who had cheated him before.
So, at this stop, Carlo cheered up and watched the movements of this group of people carefully.
Fortunately, nothing happened to them until the AI sounded the instruction to continue moving forward.
"Huh~" Carlo and Okita Hai let out a long sigh of relief. If there is no problem this time, then the last stop will be from the GPX division, which has been dealing with CF racing for a long time. They are experienced technicians. If even the technicians who have been transferred from F2 and F1 and have just learned for less than a week have not made any mistakes, then it can be said that they who have experienced hundreds of battles will not have any problems.
"Start the Apollo aerodynamic components." Carlo started the explosive method on the car after setting off. They had just changed the tires and had the opportunity to recover a certain distance while the tires were in good condition.
The speed of the Pegasus quickly returned to the level before the pit stop, and was still increasing. Carlo and Okitaumi took turns leading the team, and they fought hard to catch up despite the pressure of processing the information provided by the AI at high speed.
