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

Chapter 256 Opening of the Conference

"Xiao Hao, have you ever considered that the AI ​​data is there, but your condition will fluctuate?" Gao Xiaoman, who joined the technical team, said at this time, and then dug out the videos of Xiao Hao's failed driving simulations. Almost every time, Xiao Hao felt that he could control the car, but his condition was not very good at the time, and the car went out of control while running.

"I don't think there's any problem. What's wrong with pursuing the limit? How can you break through the limit if you don't wander on the edge of the limit?" Huo Yuesheng said, "Besides, Magnum responded in time every time he got out of control. The most serious injury he suffered in the simulation data was a fracture of his right hand."

"Old Huo, you still understand me!" Xiao Hao immediately agreed.

"Shut up!" Gao Xiaoman glared at Huo Yuesheng. This kid was the type who would do anything to his own liking. If it weren't for his lack of talent in reaction nerves to drive a Formula One car, this kid would be a trouble maker on the racetrack.

"Can't you learn from Ah Che and Silvery?" Xiao Lie looked at the man and the AI ​​with a headache. "Although their simulation speed is a little slower than yours, their accident rate is 0!"

"This... is actually Mr. Lin Che's problem." Silvery's voice also rang out in the conference room. "Compared to Mr. Hao, Mr. Lin Che's physical fitness is much worse, so I have always controlled the car's data to a level that will not affect him. That speed will not make the Tai Chi War Dragon out of control."

"Stop talking, I'm exercising!" Lin Che said helplessly at this time.

It has to be said that the physical fitness requirements for real racing drivers are really abnormally high. Although the BUFF that the system gave him when he was ten years old to keep his physical fitness at the elite level among his peers is still there, to be honest, the physical fitness of elite level at the same age is not enough to bring out the limits of the intelligent formula car.

As for Xiao Hao, this guy's physical fitness is like that of an animal. In that simulation chamber with 99% realism, if Lin Che forces the performance of the car to the limit, it will be broken in less than half an hour. But this is Xiao Hao's eight-hour training routine every day.

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with Xiaohao's training idea. After being equipped with AI, the training mode is actually completely different from that of ordinary formula racing." At this time, Lin Che spoke up. With AI whose underlying logic is to ensure the driver's life safety and a cockpit fully equipped with life-support equipment, it becomes possible for the driver to boldly pursue the limit of speed.

"That's what I told you!" Xiao Hao stood up immediately when he saw that Lin Che also supported him.

"However, it is indeed a bit too outrageous that you could sustain a broken right hand under the protection of AI!" Lin Che said.

"How's the argument between Fujiyoshi and them going?" After criticizing Xiao Hao, Lin Che turned the topic to the other side.

"The first GPX has basically been finalized," Xiao Lie said. "It took some effort, but after China officially took over the construction of most of the venues, the other teams and the previous F1 organizing committee had no objections. China's infrastructure capabilities are obvious to the world."

"The first race was held in Shanghai, and the track was renovated from the Shanghai International Circuit. The next stops were Hangzhou, Suzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong Island, Chengdu, Changsha, Wuhan, Xi'an, Shenyang, Luoyang, Jinan, and the last stop was in Beijing."

"As for the official start time, it is set for half a year later." Xiao Lie said, "After all, we have to give other teams time to develop AI and new cars."

"How are the other teams preparing?" Lin Che asked curiously.

"Among the ten teams that jointly established GPX, there are seven original F1 teams, and the other two are new teams led by consortiums from North America and Russia. In terms of the research and development of new cars, everyone's research and development is going smoothly. With the AI ​​source code you provided, many technologies that were previously banned by F7 officials due to safety reasons can see the light of day again. However, in terms of the selection of drivers, because the tacit understanding with AI requires long-term cultivation, many F1 drivers who are currently at their peak age can only stay in the F1 arena, while the new generation of drivers get more opportunities."

"In addition, because of the success of Carlo and Michael, and the success of you and Xiaohao, those of us former WGP drivers who are still active in the racing field are particularly concerned by them. After all, when it comes to cooperation with AI, we who once controlled supercars equipped with GP chips may have more experience." Ying Yulong also spoke at this time, "At least, Okita Kai has received trial invitations from more than one team."

"Ah Hai? I did fight with him when I was in F3, but he seemed to have quit later." Xiao Hao said.

"Really?" Kondo Gen, who was sitting with the Lin Che family's ace technician Kurosawa, was stunned when he heard this. "There is such a thing? Even I didn't know about it."

The trio who used to hang out with the great god kept in touch later, but after getting married, Okita Kai had less and less contact with them. But now, he suddenly got news about him from Yingyu Long.

Everyone looked at Yingyulong with strange eyes. If one of them was married and the other had not been in a relationship with Qiao for almost ten years, everyone would really suspect that there was something going on between them.

"Speaking of this, Nie Ming, who had been racing in touring cars, was also invited by the Russian consortium's team." Jenna also said at this time.

"So, we can still see some old friends on the field?" Lin Che said with a smile.

"That's really exciting!" Xiao Hao said, rubbing his hands eagerly.

Soon, Fujiyoshi, the heads of other teams and the GPX organizing committee, which was established independently from the F1 event, agreed on all the details, and the first GPX began preparations.

At the same time, after Xiaohao's Charge was completed, the DRS training location was moved to Shanghai, and Xiaohao also drove the real car he had been longing for for a long time.

However, this guy's first real car training successfully triggered the AI's protection program, and the first official test run of Tornado Charge ended with a front tire blowout and loss of control.

However, Lin Che was not much better. After training for a long time, Lin Che opened all the restrictions of Tai Chi War Dragon for the first time, and then sent Tai Chi War Dragon to the repair shop. Mainly because after pushing Tai Chi War Dragon to its maximum speed, Lin Che once again entered the zero realm that he had not felt for a long time. However, entering this realm in CF racing and entering this realm with a mini racing car as the medium puts a completely different load on the body. Lin Che only lasted half a second before he fainted, triggering Silvery's protection program.

"Are all of you high-speed car guys like this?" Xiao Lie had a headache because both of their cars had to go into the repair shop one after another within a week.

At the same time, in the training ground of Maranello, two CF racing cars painted in fiery red rushed across the finish line, then slowly slowed down and stopped. The cockpits were also opened, and Ferrari staff hurried forward to help the two people in the car get out.

Carlo took off his helmet and looked to the other side: "How does it feel?"

"It's surprisingly good." The driver who got off the other car was much shorter than Carlo. He took off his helmet and smiled. "That guy is right. This is indeed a new era of Formula One racing."

"Ahai, have something to drink." At this time, a hot dark-skinned girl brought the driver a drink to replenish water.

"Julian, thank you." Okita Kai smiled and took the drink brought by his wife.

"We are already an old married couple, why are you talking about this?" Julian said coquettishly. That's right, the new member of Ferrari's GPX team is Okita Kai and Julian who won the coaching battle. When Ferrari's original second driver couldn't adapt to AI, Carlo immediately thought of his old rival who had caused him a lot of trouble in the WGP arena alone with a group of women, and directly invited Okita Kai, who currently runs a karting club in South Africa.

Just as Ying Yulong said, these former WGP players already have some innate experience in cooperating with AI, and Chong Tianhai didn't need to worry about physical fitness issues since he was able to defeat four people by himself when facing Lu Qi's group of idiots.

As expected, Okita Kai performed extremely well in the tryout.

"But I'm quite curious, where have you been in the past few years? I remember that you seemed to be promoted to F3 at the same time as Xing Mahao. If you were there, it would not be so easy for that guy to complete that F2 season championship." Carlo asked.

"Because I'm busy getting married." Okita Kai said with a smile, "And if the new era of Formula One racing that guy talked about wasn't so tempting, I wouldn't have accepted your invitation."

"Really?" Carlo said with a smile, "But since we are here, let's leave our names in the new era that guy mentioned."

"That's exactly what I meant." Okita Kai said with a smile.

……

Inside Mercedes' training ground.

"Has the team's other driver not decided yet?" Michael frowned.

"It will take some time. The previous No. 2 driver couldn't adapt to the cooperation with the AI." Mercedes' technical director said, "At the same time, the drivers in the lower echelons, including members of the previous WGP Iron Wolf Team who are of the right age, either don't meet the physical fitness standards or their reaction speeds are not suitable. The same is true for your old teammate Hugh Yeli."

"But the competition time is approaching." Michael frowned, "Do you have any other goals?"

"The Japanese kid from the French team who participated in the same WGP as you will come for a trial this afternoon. I think he should be the one that meets our requirements the most." Mercedes' technical team leader said, "That kid has just started to show his talent in the rally field recently, but he has a great passion for CF racing."

"Is it him?" Michael recalled the figure with long flowing hair and nodded. "I remember that his name seemed to be Hijikata Ling, right? If it's him, it should be okay."

As a German who is naturally incompatible with the French, the foreign captain of the French team left a good impression on Michael.

Although the French team did not cause him any trouble in the two WGPs, it does not mean that Hijikata Rei has never caused him trouble. What's more, the fact that he could bring that group of French people to the edge of the finals is enough to show his strength.

……

In a training ground in Moscow, a blue and white CF racing car entered the curve at lightning speed. After passing the curve at an incredible speed, it continued to accelerate and arrived at the next more thrilling sharp turn almost in the blink of an eye. However, the speed of this car only slowed down a little bit and it rushed directly into the curve. The next second, the whole car spun into the buffer zone and stopped.

After a burst of steam, the cockpit opened and a figure came out cursing, "Aurora, why did you slow down? I could have rushed over at that speed with gritted teeth, but you disrupted my rhythm by slowing down!"

The AI ​​inside the car responded in an emotionless voice: "Mr. Nie Ming, according to your virtual training results, the speed you just entered the corner was already the limit of your control ability. As for the speed before deceleration, the probability of you losing control is 100%."

"Nie Ming! This is the third time you've let Aurora lose control this month!" A large group of people came out of the maintenance area, surrounded Nie Ming and started scolding this guy.

"Actually, it's the fourth time. There was a brief loss of control before, but it was turned around by Mr. Nie Ming." At this time, the AI ​​named Aurora in the car spoke.

"Nie Ming, this won't do." Nie Ming's teacher, Vatanen, who is also the current technical director of the team, said, "You won't be able to beat Xing Ma Hao and Lin Chejun if you do this."

"But if I don't break through my limits, how can I compete for the title of the fastest man in the world!" Nie Ming said unconvinced.

If Huo Yuesheng, who currently holds this title, knew that Nie Ming still wanted to fight for this title, he would give it up without hesitation.

Among the trio back then, Huo Yuesheng and Xiao Hao have never mentioned this dark history again, but Nie Ming has never forgotten his original intention.

……

The participating teams for the first GPX are making intensive preparations.

Time quickly came to half a year later, at the Shanghai International Circuit, the first GPX kicked off under the watchful eyes of racing enthusiasts from all over the world.

This conference was not like the previous WGP, where there was an opening ceremony. The first race started very calmly.

Like traditional F1 events, the biweekly race is held over three days.

Warm-up race on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, and the race on Sunday.

At the Shanghai International Circuit on Friday, everyone in DRS met many old friends whom they hadn’t seen for a long time.

After finishing the warm-up race, Nie Ming drove the car to the DRS maintenance station, opened the cockpit, took off his helmet, greeted everyone, and made a bold statement that he would definitely become the fastest man in the world this time. However, Xiao Hao and Huo Yuesheng now said that they did not want to know him.
