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

Chapter 236 Finals Approaching
"Secret weapon? Could you please tell us what kind of equipment it is?" a reporter asked curiously.

"Let's keep this secret for now, but what is certain is that the Tai Chi War Dragon equipped with new equipment will surprise everyone." Lin Che responded with a smile.

In the laboratory of Lin's Technology in China, Lin Yuan was controlling the manufacturing process by referring to the design sent by Lin Che. At the same time, the live broadcast of the competition was being played on the TV not far away. After hearing what Lin Che said, Lin Yuan took a look at the design and couldn't help laughing: "This is indeed a magical equipment that can make everyone drop their eyes. I didn't expect that Xiao Che's attainments in aerodynamics have reached this level without anyone noticing."

When he first got the design drawing, Lin Yuan thought that this thing was just something Lin Che came up with on a whim. However, after actually reading the drawing and studying the details, Lin Yuan discovered that his son's attainments in aerodynamics seemed to have reached an extremely high level without him realizing it. Even he took some effort to fully understand the ins and outs of this aerodynamic component drawing.

However, although Lin Yuan was able to understand the drawings, he still encountered various problems one after another during the manufacturing process.

The hardware is easy to deal with. Lin Technology's technology can easily create it intact, but the software is very troublesome.

This accessory itself is a high-precision accessory. When it is in operation, the error must be controlled to an extremely low level, and the requirements for the control software are also extremely high. However, if you just want to make a software that can control such a machine, it is not difficult. Many engineers can write it. However, if you want to control the size of this software on a GP chip, it is a bit difficult. The drawings that Lin Che sent back did not have anything in this regard. He just left a sentence at the end: "Dad, I believe you can do it!"

Just because of Lin Che's words, Lin Yuan also experienced the feeling of working overtime for the first time in a long time.

However, this was the first time that Lin Che sought his technical help, and as a father, he had to do it for his son no matter what.

In the following weeks of competition, although Tai Chi Zhanlong was absent, since the opponents they encountered were not particularly strong, Lin Che won by playing a supporting role in the game.

The group stage has progressed to this point, and the qualifying situation has gradually become clear.

First up is Group A. The Chinese War Dragons have only lost one game so far and have secured first place in the group, while the German Iron Wolves' second place is also unshakable.

As for the third qualifying spot in Group A, Spain's Madrid Matadors, Russia's Silver Foxes and England's Knights of the Round Table currently have the same points, and since the opponents in the last game are not very strong, it can be said that there is a high probability that an extra game will be needed to decide the last qualifying spot.

In Group B, the Italian team regained their former invincibility after Ferrari joined. Except for one loss to the China War Dragon Team and one loss to the TRF Victory Team due to a major mistake made by the technical team, they won one victory after another in the other games despite a 60% parts box failure rate, securing first place in the group. Although they cannot compare with the top two teams in Group A in terms of record, the outside world's assessment of the team's hard power is already on par with the Iron Wolf Team and the China War Dragon Team.

The United States team in Group B took second place in the group by one game over TRF Victory, Tanzania's Grassland Zebras and Norway's Odin.

The third spot in Group B will also be decided through an extra match.

The teams that need to play extra games are preparing for them, while the teams that are confirmed to enter the finals are already preparing for the finals.

First up was the Chinese War Dragon Team. Lin Che finally received the Tai Chi War Dragon sent back by his biological father.

The two turbofans on the wings of the new Tai Chi War Dragon are particularly eye-catching. Five new chips were also delivered at the same time. It seems that over the past six months, the bigwigs of the Academy of Sciences have made new breakthroughs in the information about chips left by Lin Che. At the same time, Lin Yuan also mentioned in his message that it is this new chip that can perfectly carry the program to control this set of aerodynamic components.

When the new Tai Chi War Dragon was put on the runway for testing, everyone in the base gathered together.

Then, they saw the Tai Chi War Dragon's cornering performance, which was like flying close to the ground.

"This... is amazing!" Huo Yuesheng exclaimed in amazement, "In this way, whether it is a straight line or a curve, the Tai Chi War Dragon can be said to be invulnerable."

"Do you plan to let it return to the court in the next game?" Gao Xiaoman asked.

"No, let's use the Light Speed ​​Dragon in the next game, and then give our opponent a surprise in the final." Lin Che said.

……

In the German team's training ground, Michael guided Hugh and Ye Li to control the Iron Wolf in a turbocharged state. After the match with the Chinese War Dragon team, the technical team of Mercedes-Benz quickly improved the equipment based on Michael's game data. Now Michael can easily control the Iron Wolf under this system. However, the other members of the German team, except Hugh and Ye Li, cannot meet the requirements to use it for the time being. Even Hugh and Ye Li have difficulty in practicing.

"So, Captain, was this the Iron Wolf you were controlling that day?" Not until he got the hang of it did Ye Li understand what the state of the Iron Wolf was like when Michael controlled it that day. The feeling of being on the edge of losing control at any time made it thrilling to operate. But even this was still an optimized state. The Iron Wolf controlled by Michael that day would only be more difficult to control than this.

After running one lap, the Iron Wolf of the two men stopped. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. Even though they had only run two laps, the mental pressure had already made them sweat profusely.

"Take a break and try again." Michael said, "Don't try to control the car forcefully, but try to guide the car to control itself."

"I see." Hugh said, breathing heavily.

Although the two had some difficulty getting started, they set off again after a brief rest.

The Italian team's training ground.

Carlo's Mustang was speeding on the track, and its speed was more than 30% faster than before. When encountering a curve, the Mustang's tail wing kept swinging, coordinated with the twisting of the rear wheels from time to time. With the spiral airflow generated by the new equipment and the unique rear-wheel steering system, the Mustang ran through this extremely difficult technical curve as if it were flat ground.

"This airflow enhancement system, which was derived from your previous Death Dance, is amazing, isn't it?" The technical team leader said proudly. "I really don't know what your previous sponsors were thinking. With such a means to instantly and greatly increase energy utilization, they didn't think of strengthening the car's burst speed, but used it for attacking, which is the least efficient means."

"With this new set of aerodynamic components, the Mustang's speed in a straight line can be increased by 30%. More importantly, surrounded by this special airflow, even in complex curves, the downhill force brought by the airflow is enough to support the Mustang to complete some incredible cornering maneuvers while maintaining acceleration."

As soon as he finished speaking, the next second, the tail wing of the Mustang on the track took off directly. The next moment, the Mustang lost its balance and flew off the track in another direction with the tail wing.

Balokli and Xiu rushed out quickly and caught the parts.

"I knew it would be like this." Sally, the only little girl on the team, complained mercilessly.

However, Carlo said nothing. After taking the Mustang back from Xiu and Baroqueli, he checked it and looked up at the technical team. "It's not a big problem, but can the material of the joint be replaced with a tougher one? At the same time, the control program should be optimized. There were abnormal errors when it was turning continuously just now." Carlo said expressionlessly, as if the car that was speeding just now was not his.

Over the past few months, Carlo's mental state has become frighteningly stable. He is completely different from the somewhat irritable boy he used to be.

"Okay, I get it." Ferrari's technical team leader was a little embarrassed. He was slapped in the face just after he boasted. Even his face was a little embarrassed. "I can guarantee that you will be able to use the most stable parts in the finals!"

"No! Don't promise!" Balokli said hurriedly. Every time this guy promised that there would be no problems, something would usually go wrong. On the contrary, the game would go smoothly when he was afraid to make a judgment because of something going wrong during training.

……

Compared to Carlo who has become calm in the face of difficulties, Brett is a little irritable at this moment.

"We said two weeks ago that the equipment could be completed, but it's still not ready?" Brett rarely got angry at the phone. It was no wonder that he was so angry. Two months ago, facing increasingly fierce competition, NASA optimized their propulsion device and handed the plan to Boeing, which has been cooperating with NASA for many years.

Boeing’s response at the time was very straightforward, saying that they could complete such a simple task in just one week.

A week later, that time turned into two weeks, then a month, then two months.

As a result, there are only two weeks left until the finals, but Boeing has still not completed their work, and the mentality of the American team members has changed from initial expectation to current numbness. They have prepared themselves for not getting the new equipment, but if this is the case, they will probably be at the bottom of the finals.

"Hey, man, tell me the truth, how far have you guys completed that thing?" After getting angry, Brett still had to calm down and ask for the sake of his own performance.

"Well, it's really fast. We are almost done with the finishing work." said the Boeing person in charge on the other end of the phone.

"You've been saying this for over a month!" Brett said. "Tell me the truth, please. How long will it take?"

"Uh...we've just started work here, but don't worry, you'll be able to get new equipment before the finals."

Brett hung up the phone and took a deep breath to calm himself before walking back to the training room.

"I've confirmed with them, and the new equipment will definitely be available before the finals," Brett announced.

"Really?" Joe expressed doubt. "They said the same thing two months ago."

"Don't worry, no matter how long they delay, they won't dare to delay our finals. If we don't perform well in the finals because of them, domestic mini racing enthusiasts will not forgive them." Brett said.

"But captain, we don't seem to have many supporters in the country. They will only cheer if we fail in the finals." Miller suddenly said.

After hearing this, everyone thought about it and it seemed to be true!

Unlike mini racing enthusiasts in most countries who support their own teams, the chaotic combat racing environment in the American mini racing world naturally looks down on these World Cup players who honestly compete in speed. If they lose, that group of people will just open the champagne.

"Forget it, let's just trust them one last time." Qiao said helplessly, holding his forehead.

……

The final week of group matches quickly came to an end and everything was settled.

The extra match between the two groups to decide the last spot also began.

First, let’s look at Group A.

Among the three teams, everyone was generally optimistic about England winning the game before the game, although in terms of overall strength, Spain might be the strongest among them.

But in this melee, the Spanish team, known for its breakthrough ability, was at a disadvantage. If they wanted to win in the end, they would have to break through the defense lines formed by two teams that were good at defense at the same time.

But the final result of the game was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The Spanish team actually did this seemingly impossible thing.

In the match against the Huaxia War Dragons that day, Kondo Gen, who gradually began to control himself, with the assistance of Kurosawa and Casillas, managed to break through the defense of two strong teams in a row and took the last qualifying spot into his pocket.

The extra match for Group B will be held the day after this game.

Compared with the extra match in Group A, this match received even more attention.

In addition to the factor of the TRF Victory team playing at home, the feud between Ying Yulong and Okita Kaina that lasted for more than a year, as well as the head-to-head confrontation between the two miracle drivers Xiao Hao and Nie Ming, all attracted countless people's attention.

At the same time, on the day of the competition, many players who had been confirmed to miss the finals or had already entered the finals also came to the competition site.

Among them were Lin Che and Huo Yuesheng.
