Chapter 313 Gobi Camping (Daily)
Everyone on the training ground also saw Carlo and waved to say hello to him. After Lin Shu parked the Tai Chi Dragon, he opened the cockpit cover. He took off his helmet and looked at the Mustang not far from Carlo.
"It seems there are no special changes. Is it using the variable mode of Tai Chi Dragon Fighting Style?" Lin Ye asked.
"Absolutely. It's not particularly difficult to add off-road components to the Mustang's independent suspension system." Carlo said, "However, with six maintenance points set up for almost 1,500 kilometers, I always feel that something will go wrong. What’s the question?”
“Is it really okay for you to complain so directly?”
"That said, wouldn't our technical team have problems if I didn't say that?" Carlo shrugged, "But fortunately, in this kind of long-distance cross-country competition, even if something goes wrong with the technical team, The situation is not particularly troublesome, and there is always room for remediation.”
Caro’s calmness made Lin Cao feel a little embarrassed. In terms of mentality, this guy has been completely trained by his own team, so it’s no wonder. He can be attributed by many fun-loving netizens to one of the teams of GPX's major concept gods.
Speaking of this GPX concept god, it is something that fun people on the racing forum made up when they were not racing. Everyone put the calm Xiao Hao, Muller with the support of his teammates, and the crew who did not work hard Carlo and Lin Shu assisted by Yuri were rated as the four conceptual gods.
In everyone’s opinion, the random Xiao Hao, Carlo who is dragged down by the Maranello circus every day, and Muller who is usually 1V2 can all have the current results, so put their problems After solving it, it will definitely become more terrifying. As for the imagination of Lin Dai with Yuri's assistance, it is the fans' curiosity about Lin Dai's upper limit.
Up to now in the competition, Yuri’s reputation as a top supporter can be said to be something that fans of each team recognize. After Yuri joins, Nie Ming’s completion rate can be It is said that there has been a qualitative change, and as for Lin Bo, he still has to wipe Xiao Hao's butt from time to time. Xiao Hao's support for him can be said to be very few. Therefore, in the eyes of some car fans, Lin Bo really The strength may be far more than what is shown now.
The reason why this group of people think so is mainly because the record set by Lin Shao in the WGP was too dazzling.
So, if Lin De is paired with a top supporter, how far his strength can go is also a topic that fans in the forum have been discussing for a long time.
While Lin Bo was chatting with Carlo, Xiao Hao had already driven the Tornado Charge onto the training ground. He didn’t seem to have any intention of chatting with Carlo. The main reason was that the paint was just a variegated platter. The whirlwind charge made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Then, I won't disturb you anymore." Seeing this, Carlo waved to everyone, turned around and walked towards his own maintenance area.
“Won’t you stay and take a look?” Lin Tie said.
"It's just training, there's no point in watching it." Carlo turned around and said, "It's not particularly difficult for you to copy the off-road mode that Tai Chi Dragon once had on this CF racing version of the car. As for the whirlwind charge, you have brought out this form, so it shouldn’t be difficult to solve the problem of cross-country ability.”
“Ah! This form of whirlwind charge is really strong! The road with scattered gravel has no impact on the speed!" Xiao Hao's excited voice came from Lin's headset, "I thought the speed would not be faster after the chassis was raised."
After feeling the speed of the whirlwind charge at this moment, Xiao Hao's last trace of dissatisfaction with having the paint changed has disappeared. Now he just wants to express how good it is.
“How is it possible? Although the chassis of the Tornado was raised a lot for the off-road track, the missing part of the downforce was made up for by the Hurricane Sonic’s aerodynamic structure and smart spoiler. At the same time, the performance improvements brought by other accessories are not fake," Lin Tie said, "However, the real strength of this car now will probably have to wait until the chassis height is adjusted back to Changan's maintenance point during the race. Only then do you know that the training ground in Qinghai is built to simulate the road in no man's land, and there is no track suitable for that state."
"Okay, what about the off-road mode of Tai Chi Dragon. Like? ”
"It looks okay. Except for a certain speed loss caused by the increase in weight due to the addition of parts, other aspects are basically in line with expectations." Lin Shu, who also drove the car to the training ground, started the off-road mode of Tai Chi Dragon and experienced Said after a while.
Today’s training was mainly about getting used to the off-road track. Neither Lin Bo nor Xiao Hao let the vehicles wear out too much. After running a few laps, they took the initiative to end today’s training and gave up the venue to The next team to train.
Behind them was McLaren. Muller and Lanci each drove a MCL-C01 into the training ground.
"Eh? Don't you need a new car for this race?" Xiao Hao asked curiously when he saw this.
“There was still a small problem with C02 in the last game, so it still needs some time to adjust. In addition, the design of C02 leaves little room for modification, and it is not very suitable for adding off-road equipment.” Mu Le explained, "However, our cross-country equipment is very powerful this time. Don't be surprised during the official competition."
"Really? That's really exciting." Lin De said with a smile, but they had no intention of staying and taking a look, mainly because Fujiyoshi, who had ordered a roasted whole lamb banquet, was already urging them.
......
Night fell, in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, the core members of DRS sat around a bonfire. Although it was midsummer at the moment, the Gobi Desert was It was still quite chilly at night, but fortunately, the clothes everyone put on and the hot tea in their hands perfectly resisted it all. At the same time, the scent of oil and spices in the air was also very charming.
“I really don’t know why we have to come so far to have dinner. This place is probably fifty or sixty kilometers away from where we live.” Huo Yuesheng complained while cutting the roasted lamb by the campfire. .
“This was recommended to me by the locals.” Fujiyoshi said. In this Gobi Desert, he rarely left his exclusive car. Sitting on the picnic mat, he looked like a big mountain. Likewise, he grabbed a mutton chop in one hand and gnawed on it while saying, "It is perfect to have this kind of atmosphere when eating this kind of roast mutton."
"Speaking of it, China is really big. We have never seen this kind of scenery before." Xiaolie said at this time. Even though he had been active in China a lot before, he basically always wandered around the eastern coastal areas. After seeing the vast Gobi for the first time, he couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.
"Don't say it's you, even we are here for the first time." Chen Hewang said.
“I have been to similar places in the past few years, but the experience was not that pleasant.” Chen Xiaohu said at this time.
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at him, even Lin Shu and the others. After Chen Xiaohu entered the military academy a few years ago, to them, it was basically as if he had disappeared. Many differences.
"Hey, don't mention it." Chen Xiaohu was speechless when he thought about this experience. "Didn't we go to a place similar to this before to practice? At first, I thought I could show off my skills. The whole journey in the troop carrier was extremely uncomfortable, but before we even finished gathering at the place, the director informed me that my company had been hit by tactics, and then we went back to where we came from.”
When everyone heard this, they laughed unkindly.
Soon, the two sheep basically went into everyone’s stomach. Because everyone came with tents, they had no intention of driving back to the hotel. However, at this time, everyone felt a little bit Bored. "It's almost time. It's time to start our traditional projects." Huo Yuesheng struck his palm at this time and said.
“Can we say goodbye?” Xiao Lie and Ying Feather Dragon twitched their mouths. We have had this kind of camping party many times since we were young. The traditional event Huo Yuesheng mentioned is Everyone knows it well.
“No, after so many years, you two are still afraid of ghosts, right?” Chen Hewang said with a smile.
"How is that possible!" Xiaolie and Ying Yulong denied it immediately.
"Then I'll come first this time?" Gao Xiaoman said at this time.
"How about letting Tengji do it..." Xiaolie said, "Or Xiaohao can do it."
The reason why Xiaolie said this was mainly because of these Chinese The ghost stories told by people are really scary. If Fujiyoshi or Xiaohao came, they would be nothing more than traditional ghosts, urban legends and the like. After so many years, the two of them have more or less developed a bit of resistance. , but these ghost stories told by this group of Chinese people may sound ordinary at first glance, but can make people's hair stand on end if they think about it carefully.
“Okay, okay, Xiaoman’s ghost story is the most interesting!” Jenna also clapped beside her at this time.
"Since we are in the Gobi Desert, let me tell you a story I have heard about by the explorers who went deep here decades ago." Gao Xiaoman cleared his throat and made his expression serious. got up.
Come on, come on, why do these Chinese people like to tell ghost stories so much at the right time!
The scalps of Xiaolie and Ying Yulong were already numb.
......
"After all the dust settled, although they experienced a lot of turmoil this time, they finally returned home safe and sound."
"Three months later, when Captain Wang had begun to slowly forget the experience of that night, he suddenly discovered that the team members who had gone deep into the Gobi with him seemed to have drastically changed their personalities, and they would do some things late at night. Captain Wang didn’t dare to think too much about the strange behavior. He just wanted to forget what happened that night as soon as possible.” At home, he came to the sink as usual, and when he was about to wash his face and go to bed, what appeared in the mirror in front of him was the face of a woman shedding tears of blood..."
Gao Xiaoman's narration stopped abruptly, and the next second, Xiaolie and Eagle Feather Dragon both fell down.
"It's not bad. The two of them actually persisted until they finished listening this time. I thought they would faint from fear during the exploration into the tomb." Upon seeing this, Xiao Hao stretched out his hand to feel the breath of the two of them. , said gloatingly after confirming that there was no big problem.
"Hee hee, my brother is more powerful this time. Your brother was scared and fainted first this time." Jiromaru said from the side at this time. It can be seen that when he grows up, he will follow Eagle Feather Dragon doesn't seem to be so brotherly anymore.
"No way! It was obviously your brother who was frightened and fainted first!" Xiao Hao said unconvinced.
The two of them soon started arguing over the question of whose brother was stunned first. It seemed that no matter how much time passed, the two of them would still argue for some strange reason.
"By the way, how is Xiaoyou doing lately?" After telling the ghost story, everyone naturally thought of their ghost friends.
"What else can I do? Let's hang out with Haoshu." Lin Shu said.
At that time, Lin Shu retired from WGP, and after Haoshu joined the second-generation TRF Victory Team, Lin Shu did not think about bringing Xiaoyou and the car he lived in back to China, but let Lin Shu Unexpectedly, Xiaoyou said that it was a pleasure to be with Haoshu, so he declined Lin Shu's invitation.
And now, Haoshu is in college, and the two are still inseparable.
However, Haoshu's optimistic and delicate character made him very comfortable to get along with as a friend, and even the ghost Xiaoyou couldn't refuse him.
“Speaking of which, I really miss Haoshu’s cooking.” Huo Yuesheng smacked his lips. The best time they had in the two WGPs they participated in was the first one. In the second half of WGP, the period after Hao Shu came to Lin De's research institute to stay. As for the second period, they went to the United States and had to go back to what the nutritionist at the time made them. It is a nutritious and healthy but extremely unpalatable dish. Therefore, everyone has a certain filter on Haoshu's craftsmanship.
After everyone chatted for a while, the two people who were stunned also woke up leisurely. Chen Hewang added a few more firewood to the bonfire: "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed, there is training tomorrow. That's right."
"That's right, let's go to sleep first." Lin Ye nodded and got into the tent with Jenna.
With the first one in mind, everyone went back to rest one after another, and the night on the Gobi Desert passed.
......
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day of qualifying to determine the starting order.
After the previous few less successful qualifying matches, GPX officials also introduced new rules for this purpose, that is, in the qualifying matches, the team that gets the pole position, in addition to being able to compete on the regular In addition to being the first to start, you can also get an additional 10 points.
Don’t underestimate these ten points. The tenth overall pick in the main race only has 2 points. Moreover, judging from the fierce competition in the current standings, ten points may be enough to win the championship. It plays a key role in deciding who will be the season champion. Therefore, in this qualifying match, even DRS and Mercedes, who usually like to conserve their strength, are ready to show some real strength.
