Chapter 287 Dakar Rally

Those who came to watch the race were all racing puzzles. As soon as the host's voice fell, Xiao Yihan's car rushed out. It can be seen from Xiao Yihan's reaction speed and the acceleration of the car. As an old racing fan, it is natural to see that this car The performance of the engine was very good, and seeing Xiao Yihan's excellent starting performance, the audience cheered again.

After Xiao Yihan came to France, he went to familiarize himself with the track with the navigator. The complexity of the track far exceeded Xiao Yihan's expectations. Many corners were 180-degree or even almost [-]-degree turns, like ninety-degree turns. There are too many corners.What troubled Xiao Yihan the most was that, especially on the gravel road in the countryside, not only was the car slippery when cornering, but also the road was very narrow. If he lost his concentration, it would only take a second to get out of the roadbed.

Xiao Yihan didn't have any extravagant expectations for participating in this rally, he just hoped that he could run the entire distance. As Xiao Yihan knew his own level, if it was a field race, his running results would probably be pretty good, but on such a complicated road, not only the car's ability is required Good performance and the quality of the driver, more importantly, all kinds of rich experience.

In fact, the main purpose of Xiao Yihan's coming to participate in the rally this time is to let the world know about Longwei's brand and Longwei's performance, and pave the way for Longwei to enter the international market.

Xiao Yihan knew that with his outstanding reflexes and good physical fitness, it was only a matter of time before he could become a top-notch racing driver, but what Xiao Yihan lacked now was time.

The result of the final race is self-evident. Except for two cars that ran off the track and three cars that had mechanical failures, Xiao Yihan ranked last among the cars that completed the entire race.

But even the last place made the audience cheer, because at the end of the [-]-kilometer sprint section of the road, Xiao Yihan actually created the fastest speed record in this event.

As some old car fans, through the air broadcast, it can be seen that the main reason why the Longwei team cannot achieve good results is the poor level of drivers, but for the performance of the car race itself, being able to run the entire course, especially the final sprint stage, shows that everything.

Although Xiao Yihan failed to achieve good results, he was highly praised both abroad and domestically. It will be a milestone event for a Chinese car to appear on the world stage for the first time.

Also because of this event, Longwei's reputation was greatly shaken, and the sales volume naturally increased.Some foreign distributors immediately went to Longwei Company to discuss cooperation matters.

At this time, people in the auto industry in the West shouted exaggeratedly: "Wolf is coming."

Xiao Yihan returned to the country and was warmly welcomed by the people in the country.

Afterwards, Longwei established a professional racing team to train racing drivers and participate in various rally competitions across the country and even the world, to show the strength of the Longwei brand to the world.

Thinking that there are less than a few months before the Dakar Rally, and in the middle of these months, there will be another Chengdu Auto Show. As Longwei, which is currently developing rapidly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now there are too few models of Longwei.

Due to the great success of Longwei at the last auto show, Xiao Yihan rewarded all the employees with 1 yuan each. Those skilled workers got real rewards and became more motivated.

Of course, Xiao Yihan also rewarded the engineers in the R&D and design departments.The engineers in the R&D department felt ashamed of Xiao Yihan's reward. After all, it was Xiao Yihan's research and development materials, and they only made some minor changes.

After receiving the reward and seeing the success of the Beijing Auto Show, everyone's work enthusiasm was stimulated to the maximum.At this time, Longwei Company is in full swing inside, and sales are also booming outside.

Just two months after the Beijing Auto Show, Longwei's other two production plants were completed and put into production. At this time, the design department also designed several mid-to-high-end cars and off-road vehicles that satisfied Xiao Yihan.

However, in a corner of the production plant at this time, Wang Yue, the manager of the production department, was seen wearing work clothes and working with a few workers, and the chief engineer of the R&D department stood aside to watch them.

I heard Wang Yue say: "Gong Liang, this car is Xiao Xiao's car that participated in the Dakar Rally. Can this 3 engine work?"

"The research and development information of this engine was provided to us by Xiao Xiao. I really don't know where he got it. The performance of this engine far exceeds the performance of any engine on the market today. Let me tell you, don't look at it. The displacement is only 3, but the power is comparable to that of a 0 engine. Now you should know how powerful this engine is. Besides, considering some requirements of the race schedule, the large displacement consumes more fuel, so 4. 2 displacement is the most suitable."

"Well, with our handcrafted body and the excellent engine, Xiao Xiao will definitely achieve good results in this Dakar Rally."

Just over a month later, Longwin actually brought nearly ten new models to the Chengdu Auto Show. The models involved miniature, mid-range sedans and SUVs.The price and fuel consumption are the lowest among similar models, but the car has the largest exterior size. As a brand that has participated in the world rally, the performance of the car is naturally nothing to say.

Due to the strong performance of Longwei, Longdi undoubtedly became the focus of the auto show again.

Then Ouyang Bidan announced that Longwei will start to develop in the field of mid-to-high-end cars and sports cars, and start to seize the high-end consumer market. It must be known that the high-end market will be the main growth point of the company's profits in the future.Although Xiao Yihan doesn't care about how much money she makes, it's different for Ouyang Bidan. As the current general manager of Longwei Company, the first thing she thinks about is profit. Only when she makes more money can she reflect her value.Of course, Ouyang Bidan pays more attention to the establishment of Longwei brand. After the Chengdu Auto Show, Longwei's domestic market has matured, and now Longwei's models are relatively comprehensive. It is time to promote Longwei to the international market.

It is said that after Xiao Yihan came back from the French Rally, he handed Long Wei over to Ouyang Bidan, while Leng Yan was in command of other companies. The other is to go to the beach every day to exercise the body through the waves.With Xiao Yihan's continuous exercise, Xiao Yihan found that his body recovered faster than before. Before, after training in the morning, he had to rest for a day to fully recover, but now he can recover in only half a day.

Since he can fully recover in half a day, Xiao Yihan is naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity to train in the evening. You must know that the wind is stronger and the waves are fiercer at night.

At this time, I saw Xiao Yihan standing on a rock that was mostly buried in the seawater, letting the waves beat on his body.

As the wind and waves got bigger and bigger, Xiao Yihan had to use the true energy in his body to compete with the waves that beat over him. With this kind of exercise method, Xiao Yihan found that not only his physique had been greatly improved, but he hadn't grown much for a long time However, his internal force has made breakthrough progress, and the inexplicable air flow in his body has also grown much stronger than before. This discovery made Xiao Yihan very happy. It contains amazing power, but I still don't know how to control that airflow, maybe because that airflow is not strong enough now.Xiao Yihan thought to himself.

Seeing that the time for the Dakar Rally was approaching, Xiao Yihan called Meng Si back and asked Meng Si to be his navigator to participate in the rally with him.

Seeing Mengsi's tall and strong appearance, most of the company's senior management were puzzled. Does this big man know the way?Wang Yue said quietly to Xiao Yihan: "Isn't Yihan letting this strong man push a cart in the desert?"

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." I heard Xiao Yihan say.

"No matter how strong he is, the car weighs 2 tons. Can he lift it?"

Xiao Yihan just smiled and patted Wang Yue's shoulder without saying anything.

Then Xiao Yihan asked the navigator of the Longwei team to conduct temporary training for himself and Mons, and then led the team to Paris, the starting point of the race, and Dakar, the end of the race.

"I can take you to knock on the door of adventure, but you are the one who opens the door to challenge your destiny."

"For those who participated, this is a challenge; for those who did not participate, this is a dream." This is the founder of the Paris-Dakar Rally.What thierry sabine said.

The Dakar Rally began in 1978. Its founder accidentally found a place suitable for rallying because he was lost in the desert, so he founded the competition.

Since the stages of the Dakar Rally are mostly deserts, Gobi and grass far away from the road, although the prize money for the championship is only a few thousand dollars, it will also attract countless racers who are brave enough to challenge. There is no limit to being a professional player, so 80.00% of the participants are amateur players.

Competitors participating in this competition not only have to endure high temperatures of 40 degrees during the day and subzero temperatures at night, but also face various harsh natural environments. In addition to vehicle failures, once the racers lose their way, they will face fuel and food shortages. Even giving up the racing situation, almost every year, racers die in various accidents - so this is a game for the brave.

On the third day after Xiao Yihan and Meng Si led the rest of the team to the starting point of the race, the organizing committee used several helicopters to fly all the drivers and navigators back and forth along the race schedule. It is to let everyone understand the line first.

Although everyone sat on the plane and walked back and forth, everyone knew that the plane flew in a straight line, but when the game started, they didn't know how many detours they would take.

When Xiao Yihan was on the plane, he kept drawing and writing with a pen and paper in his hand. After returning to the starting point, Xiao Yihan immediately went back to the room and drew the sketch carefully again, especially in some steep places. Detailed records have been made for some places and some relatively high ones that can be used as references in the competition.

On the third day after the competition committee took everyone to survey the route, the competition officially started.

The starting point was in a flat field on the outskirts of Paris. With the sound of decree gunfire, the scene was like tens of thousands of horses galloping. All the drivers stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the cars rushed forward like arrows off the string.

Xiao Yihan knew the importance of starting the grid, because this was no match for a field race, and those who fell behind might have their vision affected by the dust brought up by the cars in front.Therefore, Xiao Yihan's spirit was highly concentrated, and almost at the moment when the firing whistle sounded, Xiao Yihan's car rushed forward, and immediately opened a distance of five or six meters from the other cars.

Because there is a strong man like Meng Si in the car, Xiao Yihan is not afraid of the complexity of the road, and he slams on the accelerator and dashes forward without fear.

In the past two hours, Xiao Yihan could no longer see other vehicles, perhaps because the routes guided by each navigator were different.

At this time, Xiao Yihan had already taken a vaguely raised hill in front of him as a reference in his heart.

At this time, Xiao Yihan's racing car leaped forward like a cheetah, Xiao Yihan saw a tumbling earth dragon behind the car through the rearview mirror.

Don't look at the wilderness in front of you, it looks very flat, but Xiao Yihan and Meng Si sitting in the cab have a deep understanding.At the beginning, Mons was excited by the fast running of the car and jumping over the bumps, but now he was also bumped as if his internal organs were about to be displaced, but Xiao Yihan knew that the two of them had to endure even the bumps, The so-called slow horse bumps fast horse flat, the slower the driving in this kind of place, the more bumpy it is, and it is better to go faster than to go slower.

After another two hours of fast driving, Xiao Yihan and Meng Si finally drove to the foot of the hill as a reference.

When looking from a distance, Xiao Yihan and Meng Si didn't feel how high the mountain was, but when the two came to the foot of the mountain, looking at the mountain with a slope of more than sixty degrees and a height of several hundred meters, Xiao Yihan and Meng Si got out of the car and took a short rest. The two looked at each other with determination in their eyes, and they nodded at the same time.You must know that through the survey route on the plane, the two of them knew that after crossing this mountain, there would be a flat river, and the end of this station was not far ahead.

Seeing Xiao Yihan board the car again, he heard the roar of the exhaust pipe of the racing car, and saw the racing car rushing towards the hill, and Mengs followed closely behind.

With this charge, Xiao Yihan charged up about one-third of the height.When Xiao Yihan felt that the car was going to stop, it took less than a second to shift into first gear and slam on the accelerator.

At this time, Meng Si also kicked his feet on the ground, and pushed his hands on the car, and the racing car slowly climbed up the mountain like a snail.At this time, the rear tires of the car were spinning fast, and stones flying out from under the tires hit Mengsi's calf from time to time. From the fast-rotating tires, one could tell how fast the stones should fly out, but Mengsi didn't Unmoved.

Xiao Yihan, who was sitting in the car at this moment, could feel that the forward movement of the car was completely dependent on Mengsi's power.

Seeing that there were still 100 meters left before reaching the top of the mountain, Xiao Yihan heard a loud roar, and suddenly felt that the speed of the car suddenly accelerated.

When the front of the car just passed the top of the hill, Meng Si fell to the ground and panted heavily.At this time, Xiao Yihan couldn't see Mengsi at all from the rearview mirror.But as soon as the front of the car turned over the top of the mountain, Xiao Yihan was taken aback by the sight in front of him. Unexpectedly, the slope on the north side of this hillside was steeper than the side uphill. not easy.

Fortunately, Xiao Yihan reacted quickly, and just as the front of the car turned over the mountain, he slammed on the brakes.

When Xiao Yihan got out of the car, he saw Meng Si lying on the hillside panting.

Xiao Yihan quickly turned Mengsi over, let Mengsi lie on his back on the hillside, and poured water into Mengsi's mouth himself. After a long time, he saw Mengsi's chest rising and falling like a bellows gradually calming down. Back to normal.

At this time, I heard Mons scold in Chinese: "Fuck me." Then he said in English: "What kind of track is this? The people participating in the competition are all crazy."

"That's right, all the people participating in this event are crazy people with adventurous spirits, and so are the two of us." After Xiao Yihan finished speaking, he and Meng Si looked up to the sky and laughed.

After the two laughed, they heard Xiao Yihan say: "Okay, get ready to go."

Xiao Yihan took off the wire rope from the winch at the back of the car and handed it to Meng Si, then Xiao Yihan shifted into first gear and began to drive slowly down the slope.

Because the inclination of the slope is too large, the brakes can't play a big role at all, and they slide down by themselves.Xiao Yihan felt in the car that the car seemed to roll over at any moment.

At this time, Mengs, who was following the car, was almost lying on his back on the hillside, holding the steel wire rope tightly in his hands, trying to let the rear tires of the car fall to the ground as much as possible.

After about ten minutes, the two finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Although the downhill process took only ten minutes, it felt like a century had passed for the two of them.

Xiao Yihan stopped the car and quickly got out of the car, walking towards Mengsi.At this time, Meng Si's shoes were already worn out, not only the shoes were worn out, but the skin on his feet was also worn out, bleeding continuously.Xiao Yihan's special racing gloves on Mengsi's hands were also worn out at this time, but fortunately, because Mengsi had been wrapping the wire rope around his hands, deep marks were left on the back and palm of Mengsi's hands.Xiao Yihan quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on Mengsi's feet and ankles, and the blood on Mengsi's feet was slowly stopped.Then Xiao Yihan took out mineral water and washed Mengsi's feet. After washing the injured part of Mengsi quickly, he saw the thick bones exposed, and saw the exposed bones on the soles of Mengsi's feet. Xiao Yihan's eyes were a little moist, and he listened. Mengsi said: "This injury is nothing, it's fine." After Xiao Yihan disinfected Mengsi with iodine, he did not wrap the wound, and helped Mengsi to the car, and drove the car according to the group The map provided by the committee quickly rushed to the end of this stage.

It is said that the technicians, competition personnel or media reporters at the terminal service station were chatting or playing poker. At this time, billowing dust appeared in the distance, coming straight to the terminal like an earth dragon. Seeing the billowing dust, they all dropped the cards in their hands, stood up and looked in the dusty direction with binoculars.

After a while, the technician of Longwei Racing Team shouted happily: "It's the racing car of our Chinese Longwei Racing Team, that's right."

Seeing that a racing car was about to arrive, those media reporters immediately took out their weapons and shot wildly at the direction of Xiao Yihan's racing car.

When Xiao Yihan's racing car got closer and closer, the reporters began to report on the spot.At this time, there are about [-] million viewers around the world watching the live broadcast of the race. When the Chinese viewers saw that the Chinese racing car was the first to reach the finish line on the first day, the joy in their hearts cannot be described in words. In [-], there were teams from China participating in the Dakar Rally, but the results were mediocre.Now that a major breakthrough can finally be achieved, how can it not make people feel excited.

At this time, Xia Xiaoyu, Ouyang Ziyi, Zhang Shaogang and others in front of the TV all cheered loudly and raised their beer glasses together to show their congratulations.

It turned out that when Ouyang Ziyi, Zhang Shaogang and others knew that Xiao Yihan was participating in the Dakar Rally, the group went to Xiao Yihan's villa to watch the competition together.

It is said that when Xiao Yihan's racing car came to the finish line, after an emergency brake, a puff of dust rushed towards everyone from the back of the car.But for the first-hand information, those reporters rushed up to interview Xiao Yihan wearing goggles, and when Xiao Yihan got out of the car, he shouted, "Doctor, where is the doctor?" Xiao Yihan shouted while helping Meng Si out of the car. The reporters took pictures of Mons and his injured foot again and again.
