Beyblade: You call this a four-wheel drive vehicle?

Chapter 182: Teamwork in the Battle against the United States

Huo Yuesheng looked at his freshly-made new car with satisfaction, and he couldn't wait to go to the race track to let the new car perform well.

"The next game will be up to me!" Huo Yuesheng said confidently.

However, Gao Xiaoman poured cold water on him at this time, "The competition will start the day after tomorrow. Can we make the chip of this car reach the level that can participate in the competition in time?"

"This is indeed a problem. Although the data on the Phantom Blood Bat can be transferred directly, the data from the Phantom Blood Bat cannot bring out the full potential of this car's enhanced hardware." Chen Hewang said.

"The most basic data can be used directly. After all, this car was developed based on this data. But for more advanced running methods, you can only develop and record them slowly by yourself." Lin Che said.

"Let's work overtime these two days. By the way, has the venue and competition system for the game against the American team been announced?" Huo Yuesheng asked.

"The official has sent me the information about the track and the competition system." Dr. Chen said, "The track is in Akina Mountain, and the competition system is a team race. The team that reaches the finish line first wins the race."

"Akina Mountain? What a great place!" Huo Yuesheng clapped his hands excitedly. This world also had the "Initial D" comics, and because of the world's will, this comic was even more popular than Lin Che's original world. Everyone was familiar with this venue where countless duels had taken place in the comics.

"Is it the classic downhill section in the comics?" Gao Xiaoman asked at this time.

"Yes, it is the section in the cartoons you often read. It is 7.6 kilometers long," said Dr. Chen.

"That's really exciting." Lin Che said.

……

In the past two days, Huo Yuesheng has devoted almost all his energy to adapting to the new car. He even took leave and did not attend the international school courses prepared by the authorities for the contestants.

Two days later, the competition was held as scheduled.

At the starting point of the mountain top, Brett, who arrived a little earlier than the War Dragon Team, raised his hand and greeted them with a smile after seeing Lin Che and others.

"I watched your match with Michael. The final push mode was very powerful. Is that your true strength?" Brett suddenly said after a brief greeting.

"Really? How does it compare to the powerful propulsion device on your Jumper?" Lin Che asked.

"You'll know in a moment." Brett said with a smile, "But if that's all you're capable of, then we'll have to accept the victory in today's match."

"Are you so confident?" Lin Che said, "The powerful propulsion device you used in the match against Argentina didn't seem to be stronger than the Lightspeed War Dragon, right? Or did you still not use your full strength in that match?"

Although he said so, Lin Che watched the entire relay race from the beginning. Because Hama and Miller made mistakes at the same time, Brett was already 13 seconds behind Argentina when he got the last baton. In addition, Argentina's last baton was completed by their captain, Ginobili, the top driver in South America who was as strong as Brett. Lin Che didn't believe that Brett would still have the mind to hide his strength at that critical moment.

"That's not the case," Brett said truthfully, "but you seem to have forgotten that the format of this game is the team competition, which is what you are least good at. Besides, if we only compete for the first place, we still have a secret weapon to use."

"What a coincidence! We have also prepared a secret weapon." Lin Che said, "Then let's see who's the real one."

"Welcome to the WGP World Minicar World Cup. I am the commentator Su Fan."

"I am the commentator Zhang Weiping."

"I am the commentator Li Bing."

For this match against the United States, CCTV once again deployed a three-person commentary lineup.

"We can see that the players from both teams have gathered at the starting point." Su Fan said. At this time, the live broadcast screen also began to rotate the players' makeup photos and racing information.

When it was Huo Yuesheng's turn, the racing car that appeared under the makeup photo of Huo Yuesheng in the classic Vegeta pose was not the Phantom Blood Bat that the three commentators were familiar with, but a new racing car, which surprised the three commentators very much.

"Oh? Did contestant Huo Yuesheng bring a new car to today's game? It's called the Sky Demon Bat?" Teacher Li Bing said, "It seems that after the last defeat, the Huaxia War Dragon team has also made some internal adjustments. What kind of changes will this new car bring to the Huaxia War Dragon team? Let's look forward to it together."

As departure approached, the American team members also saw the new car in Huo Yuesheng's hands.

"Captain, they seem to have prepared a new car for the battle. Will the previous research on Huo Yuesheng still be useful?" Hama asked worriedly.

"Hama, calm down." Brett said slowly, "Even if the car has changed, it is still difficult to change the driver's habits. The information collected before will not be completely invalidated."

"So, when he charges, should I still be the one guarding him?" asked Joe, who had beautiful blonde hair, next to Brett.

Five games have been played, and everyone has basically figured out the team tactics of the Huaxia War Dragon Team, which is to conserve the energy of the super-fast racing car Phantom Blood Bat in the early stages of the game, and then cooperate with its charge in the final stage, dragging the game into a melee and then using the rich experience in melee to overwhelm the opponent.

Therefore, before the game, Brett assigned Joe the task of guarding against Huo Yuesheng's charge. After all, the weakness shown by the Hua Xia War Dragon team in the previous match against England was a bit too obvious. That is, as long as they defended Huo Yuesheng's charge and didn't let him disrupt the rhythm, the remaining power of the other members of the Hua Xia War Dragon team who were unable to coordinate with five people before would simply not be able to break through the team with five people cooperating.

"The plan remains unchanged for now. If there is an emergency, I will take charge."

Although Brett was a little surprised by the new car suddenly brought out by the Huaxia War Dragon Team, the general situation was still under his control. As a reserve astronaut, he might encounter more emergencies in the universe in the future. How could he panic because of such an unexpected thing?

As the four-wheel-drive fighters waved the flag that marked the start of the race, a total of ten cars from the two teams rushed out of the track at the same time. Unlike the previous Huaxia War Dragon Team, which would choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge at the beginning of the team competition, this time, at the start of the race, the five cars of the Huaxia War Dragon Team burst out at an extremely fast speed.

Under the gaze of the camera, the Chinese War Dragon Team was lined up with the Yin-Yang Scorpion in the lead, followed by the Sword Shark King, the Shocking Tiger, the Lightspeed War Dragon, and the new car, the Sky Demon Bat.

Although the overall formation looked a bit messy compared to the five jumpers next to it, they managed to keep up with the pace of the jumpers and did not give the American team a chance to block them.

This scene greatly excited the three commentators at the commentary desk.

"After five games, the Chinese War Dragon team finally came up with their team formation!" Su Fan said excitedly.

"That's right, after Huo Yuesheng changed his car, the two cars with the biggest aerodynamic conflict in the Huaxia War Dragon team were able to coordinate with each other!" Li Bing said, "Although the five members of the Huaxia War Dragon team are not very proficient in coordination because they just started the five-person coordination practice, this is a good start!"

"Aren't you going to use that melee tactic?" asked Brett, who was running side by side with Lin Che.

"That was a tactic we had to resort to. You don't think we will keep using that tactic until the end." Lin Che said.

"That's not the case. It's just that, don't you think it's a bit too arrogant to use a five-man formation that you're not familiar with when facing us?" Brett said, his expression serious. "Hama, you lead the team at the bend ahead. Speed ​​up in advance and get rid of them."

"I understand." Hama nodded.

After the start, the front soon entered a high-speed curve, and the two teams began to exchange formations at the same time.

Hama's Jumper and Gao Xiaoman's Sword Shark King arrived at the front of the team at the same time. It was at this time that a little gap appeared in the teamwork of both sides.

The jumpers' formation changes were clean and neat, but the War Dragon team, because the five of them were still a little unskilled in teamwork, seemed a bit sluggish when exchanging positions, which delayed them for several breaths.

After coming to the front of the line, Hama immediately accelerated his Jumper and led his teammates' cars into the high-speed curve in an orderly manner.

Although Sword Shark King started to accelerate after reaching the front of the line, opened a spiral airflow to wrap the vehicles behind and entered the curve, he had missed the opportunity because of the previous position change error. The American team seized the best cornering route in advance, so he could only follow behind the American team's queue and pass this curve.

"Control room, calculate the best route for the remaining bends ahead." After passing this bend, Hama began to call the control room. Soon, the staff of the American team transmitted the data that Hama needed to Hama's terminal.

"Captain, our chances of successfully completing the blockade formation on the next high-speed curve are as high as 70%. Do we need to change the formation?" Hama asked.

"I've told you, Hama, don't rely too much on the data," Brett said sternly, "especially when facing a team that the data can't fully cover. Just keep this formation. Miller, you will lead the team in the next five hairpin turns."

"Understood," the shortest member of the American team nodded in response.

"But, Captain, with a 70% success rate, shouldn't we give it a try?" Edge said with some confusion.

"The probability that we can successfully blockade them is definitely not the 70% calculated in the control room. Don't forget, they have more advanced chips and AI than ours. We can't use conventional data as a reference." Brett said. He was sitting next to Lin Che when he was negotiating business with the Saudi tycoon. Naturally, he knew that the Chinese War Dragon Team, which had AI-assisted calculations, could not rely on conventional data for calculations.

"It's a pity. Because the Chinese War Dragon Team is not very skilled in teamwork, the American team took the lead at this corner." Li Bing said with a bit of regret.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the Hua Xia Zhan Long team was limited by the car problem and couldn't coordinate with five people." Su Fan began to make excuses for the Hua Xia Zhan Long team. "But the audience friends don't have to worry too much. The game has just started, and Huo Yuesheng, who is playing with a new car, hasn't had time to show his strength yet."

"Yes, we can fully trust Huo Yuesheng," said Coach Zhang. "Although this kid's running style is not so reasonable sometimes, he can always stand up when the team needs him."

After passing this section of track with a large number of high-speed curves, the China War Dragon Team exchanged positions again. The Yin-Yang Scorpion came to the front of the formation. This position change seemed to be much smoother than the first one, which also excited the commentators.

"The tacit understanding of the five members of the Huaxia War Dragon Team is gradually improving. It seems that the experience gained in the competition is always much more profound than that of daily training." Su Fan said, "The two teams are now about to enter the most famous section of this mountain road track that has become popular all over the world because of a comic book. It has five consecutive hairpin turns. What arrangements will the two teams make in this section of the bend?"

"For the next five hairpin turns, we will switch to a double-layer formation. Xiaohu, you take He Wang to the inside, Xiaoman, you take me to the inside, Yuesheng will follow at the end, Xiaoyin, calculate the best route to switch the formation." Lin Che gave the order before entering the turn.

"Understood!" The four of them responded in unison, and then before entering the turn, they completed the formation change according to the route recommended by the AI. Although it still looked a little sluggish, they were already much more proficient than the first time they exchanged queues.

I have to say that having pressure from opponents is indeed the best motivation for improvement. In just a short period of time, everyone's improvement in teamwork is equivalent to the results of two days of training, and Brett saw all of this.

"Are you planning to use us as a whetstone? Then be prepared to pay the price of failure." Brett thought to himself.

Led by Miller, five Jumpers entered the famous five hairpin turns, followed closely by the five cars of the China War Dragon Team.

Miller made full use of the Jumper's unique independent suspension system, constantly adjusting the up and down position of the tires to stick closely to the road, without being affected by the centrifugal force generated when turning.

The Chinese Dragons maintained:

Tiger Sword Shark King
Yin Yang Scorpion Light Speed ​​Dragon
-
The outer demon bat——
The team entered the curve in a tight formation, with the Tiger, who was best at this kind of difficult technical curve, bearing the greatest team pressure, and the Yin Yang Scorpion assisting from the side, allowing the other cars to easily pass this section at high speed.

After entering the bend, Chen Xiaohu stared at the road ahead, looking for flaws in the American team's formation.
