Chapter 309 A new modification idea
"Is the current reinforced coating enough for this kid to persist in the maintenance area?" Vatanen asked.
"Judging from Nie Ming's current consumption rate, it's barely enough." Arctic Fox's technical team nodded.
"That's no problem." Vatanen waved his hand, "Let him play if he wants to, and prepare a new set of reinforced coatings for him in the maintenance area."
< br>"But, Mr. Vatanen, the cost of this reinforced coating...if it is consumed at will, won't it be difficult for the headquarters to explain it?" the technical team hesitated.
"What's hard to explain? Although consumables costing 600,000 US dollars a piece may seem like a luxury, it is just a drop in the bucket for the consortium behind the team. More importantly, compared to this price, they care more about Nie. "A breakthrough in the realm of civilization," Vatanen said, "otherwise, why do you think that when we discovered that the current Aurora could not bear the load of the Burning Soul, the headquarters immediately put the development of new vehicles on the agenda? And he also helped us dig out this blueprint from the Soviet Union’s legacy, which was previously unable to be produced due to lack of breakthroughs in materials science? Isn’t it just to allow Nie Ming to make a breakthrough one day?”
“Me? Got it." The technical team finally figured out why when Nie Ming sent the Aurora to the repair shop for the first time during this period while trying out the Burning Soul, the headquarters just sent people over to use the latest technology. He quickly refurbished the Aurora, and then brought it into the repair shop after being tricked by Nie Ming. He immediately started a two-pronged approach, advancing the plan for the new car, and looking for ways to solve the problems with the old car.
“Do you think that in the GPX team, the most valuable thing is the car? No, in this league, the driver is far more valuable than the car, especially those like Mihail and Lingjun who can enter Drivers in the Zero Realm, and the investment in racing is just to retain them!" A similar conversation was also held at Mercedes headquarters.
The CEO of Mercedes slapped the table and said this when facing a group of small shareholders who questioned whether his recent investment in the research and development of new cars was too much.
“In today’s GPX, all the talented drivers are moving towards higher places, but if our cars become a drag on them, it will be okay in the short term, but over time, who can Guaranteed that they will renew the contract with us? You know, the bastards from Sauber and Aston Martin are keeping an eye on these drivers who can enter the Zero Realm! Their research and development capabilities are not necessarily worse than ours! Where to go.”
"And if our inaction becomes a stumbling block for these geniuses, do you think they can show us some mercy?"
"But... wasn't Michael trained by us ourselves?" Someone Questioned at this time.
“Haha, do you think these drivers are all diehard fans of the team like Carlo, whose team abused me thousands of times and treated the team like my first love?” Mercedes CEO sneered, “Really? Speaking of which, the honors that Michael has received for us over the years have long been enough to repay the price we spent on cultivating him. The current situation is that we are lucky to be able to cultivate a genius of Michael's level! "< br>
“Everyone, GPX is no longer the F1 where countless talented young people worked hard just for a team spot. Although the CF racing car has lowered the operating threshold of the car to some extent, if you want to win To achieve honors, the requirements for drivers will only be higher! Moreover, I think everyone here knows that GPX is the ark ticket to the future of mankind, and with Mihail and Lingjun, we have already reached the majority! People in front of me, I don’t think you want to give up your future for a few dollars.”
As the CEO of Mercedes finished his impassioned speech at the shareholders’ meeting, people in the conference room were stunned. On the seat, a middle-aged man who looked calm and self-confident applauded and said: "Well said, compared with the countless opportunities in the future, the investment of money now is nothing."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the small shareholders around him: "Of course, if you feel that you can't afford such an investment, I can do your share."
"That's not necessary. "We can still afford the current investment." The small shareholders nodded hurriedly. The person in front of them only entered the Mercedes team's shareholder meeting this season, but he quickly obtained a lot of shares and became a big shareholder. One of the shareholders, his identity is extremely mysterious. Everyone here is a well-known figure in Germany, but in front of this person, they can only be regarded as little shrimps. Now when the big boss speaks, they can only apologize and laugh.
"I can acquire your shares at a premium of up to 50%. Do you really not want to consider it?" the middle-aged man said in a seductive voice.
"That's not necessary. We can still afford the current investment." The other small shareholders hurriedly asked, hand over the shares now? Are you kidding me? With the current development momentum of Mercedes, they will definitely have a share of the benefits that humans can capture in the stars in the future. How could this group of people give up on such huge profit prospects so easily, let alone It's a 50% premium. Even if it's a 500% premium, they won't sell it. You know, the small shareholders who bought their shares from him before now want to go back in time and kill themselves at that time.
"That's really a pity." The middle-aged man shook his head regretfully and said with great regret.
This person’s name is Karen Mankiewicz, an upstart in the field of German technology companies a few years ago. At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, Lin Yuan’s classmate when he was studying at MIT.
He has an excellent relationship with Lin Yuan, and he knows better than others what level of genius Lin Yuan is. Through this relationship, after learning about Lin Technology’s actions on GPX , directly came to Stud, and invested in the Mercedes team, which was greatly affected by the Tai Chi War Dragon causing a disturbance in the F1 field. Taking advantage of the turmoil at that time, he bought a lot of shares at once, and jumped into Became one of the major shareholders of this team.
Although the current investment in the team is a bit large, and the research and development of the new car AMG-02 requires hundreds of millions of dollars, the future prospects are clear enough, so what else is there to say.
After thinking about this, even some people who had a little objection to the investment stopped talking at this meeting, but quietly turned their heads to watch today's broadcast on the projection screen in the conference room. game.
“As for the first echelon, the Aurora is still trying, but every time it falls a little short. It seems that the performance gap of the leading generation is not so easy to make up. MCL-C02 is facing the offensive of the Aurora. At that time, it seemed to be very comfortable, but the Aurora was already showing signs of fatigue.”
"At this time, while the two were entangled, the cars of the three teams of Mercedes, DRS, and Ferrari, as well as the Arctic Fox team's No. 2 car, also relied on long-distance acceleration to close the distance. They planned to close the distance here. Is it time to challenge MCL-C02?" Li Bing said.
"It seems that there is no such idea." After seeing that everyone had narrowed the distance between Muller and Nie Ming, who were entangled, they just followed not far away and did not join the dispute. After planning, Li Bing continued, "At this time, we are only twenty kilometers away from the maintenance point. After such a long period of acceleration, everyone has consumed a lot of energy. The risk is indeed too high if we start fighting here."
When it was about to arrive at the maintenance point, the reinforced coating of Nie Ming's Aurora was also exhausted, and the body began to become unstable. Seeing this, Yuri hurriedly stepped forward to rescue it. MCL-C02 was the first to enter the maintenance area with an advantage of 500 meters. "In this way, the McLaren team won a great victory in the first half of the game. It seems that the improvement brought by this new car in the hands of Muller is indeed very terrifying. Then, in the second half of the game, he can still Will we continue our current hot state?" Fei Ge said after seeing the first echelon entering the maintenance area one after another.
It was the first time that I had such a big advantage. There was laughter in the McLaren pit area, but in the cockpit of MCL-C02, Muller had a serious expression. The real geniuses in this game have not yet begun to exert their strength. Not to mention Lin Shu, who can enter Ming Jing Shisui, and Xiao Hao, who is more complete than Nie Ming in Burning Soul, Mihail and Carlo are also in the first half. I am using a running method that preserves my strength. It is still a bit too early to open the champagne now.
"Everyone seems to have taken a long time to repair this time. Didn't it say that the GPX tire change time is usually about 3 seconds?" Su Fan looked at the busy scene in the maintenance area and said with some confusion.
“After all, this is a special situation. After running 200 kilometers in one time, it consumes more than just tires. Each team should want the vehicle to undergo a comprehensive inspection. After leaving here, There will be no chance to resupply until the end," Fei Ge explained for Su Fan.
"The first McLaren team to arrive here was also the first to start. This time he directly changed to medium tires? The first half of the race that was run on hard tires was not for this car. Full strength? "
After changing the tires, MCL-C02 was the first to set off from the maintenance area. After starting, Muller started the thruster immediately, and MCL-C02 began to accelerate extremely rapidly. , wanting to further widen the gap before the opponents set off one after another.
However, compared to the situation at the beginning of the game, this time, it is obvious that Lin Shu and Mihail will no longer let Muller take the lead.
After replacing the tires and doing maintenance, the Yonko team who started again gradually revealed their hidden cards at this moment.
Mercedes’ turbocharging, Ferrari’s Apollo aerodynamic components, Tai Chi Dragon and Aurora’s thrusters began to explode at this moment, although several people could not catch up. MCL-C02 is currently leading by a large margin, but Muller's plan to expand its advantage has completely failed.
“The pace of the race suddenly became faster in the second half.” Li Bing took a look at the situation on the field and said. After the drivers who preserved their strength in the first half began to exert their strength, McLaren’s advantage was gradually of reduction.
At this time, in the chat group held by Lin Shu in the Zero Realm, Mueller also launched a challenge to everyone behind him.
"If you don't plan to take it seriously, I will accept the championship of this game." When Muller said this, his mental energy was always focused on Lin Shu, as if these words were It was specifically said to Lin Shu.
"It seems that I have been underestimated," Mihail laughed upon seeing this, "The performance advantage of your new car is not as great as you thought."
Mihail and Hijikata Reishang Turbine The supercharging system was turned to the maximum, and another secret weapon installed on the car was also activated. The two AMG-01s traveling side by side suddenly came closer. The airflow of the two cars merged into one at this moment, and the speed of the AMG-01 reached After reaching the limit, it started to climb step by step.
"Is it similar technology to the previous Iron Wolf?" Lin De laughed after seeing this, "Use two cars to create complementary airflow to achieve an acceleration effect of 1+1>2 The effect of the turbocharger's slight lack of explosive power has also been made up for. "
"If you want to win the championship, have you asked me?" Carlo and Okita Hai also used Apollo Air at this time. The power of the power components was fully increased. At the same time, the Tianma's body also changed slightly. The originally fixed rear wheels were switched to a connecting device. When the Tianma turned around, it actually used four wheels. The wheels turn simultaneously. As a result, the Tianma's cornering angle becomes more tricky, and the cornering speed is no worse than LiftingTurn.
On this winding road in the old city, Tianma was actually the first car to catch up with MCL-C02.
"No, why are there such modification ideas?" Li Bing was greatly shocked, for no other reason. Whether it was the new methods shown by Mercedes or Ferrari in this game, they were all of the kind that would make sacrifices. The stable modification method is completely different from the new technology he has seen before.
"What about you? Your new car should have more than just this ability." Lin De asked in the Zero Realm chat group at this time: "If your new car is just as stable as it currently appears, If you make a fuss about sex, then you are on the wrong track in this arms race.”
Yes, after seeing the strength of these talented drivers, the researchers of each team were developing new technologies. Basically, they are letting themselves go. Compared with the improvement of speed, the researchers from the top teams have surprisingly consistent ideas in terms of stability. Since these drivers have such strong control over the car, it seems that they can wash away some of their skills in this aspect. Click to add it somewhere else!
“Of course not,” Mueller smiled. “The stability of C02 is just a disguise before it truly shows its full strength.”
“Gordon, unlock the thruster performance. Lock, turn on the over-limit mode." Muller in the cockpit pressed a button on the steering wheel, "Propulsor, start!"
MCL-C02 once again showed its propeller, but this time, after the tail was opened, the propeller jet tube was exposed to the air, and circles of red lights lit up. The next second, compared with before, Flames that surged countless times spurted out from it.
