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

Chapter 281 True Space Wanderer Brett (wait half an hour)

The speed of the whirlwind charge, which was back under control, quickly climbed to the highest in the field, and soon the gap between Carlo and Michael was evened out. Now there were only the last two corners left in the last lap.

"The acceleration of the Tornado Charge is still a little slow." Li Bing said with some regret. Carlo and Michael, who accelerated first, had already occupied the most advantageous cornering position and seemed to have left no space for him.

"The Whirlwind Charge is still accelerating? He plans to take the outside path!" Brother Fei said in surprise.

The numbers on the dashboard of the Whirlwind Charge were rising rapidly. Xiao Hao's mind was extremely clear in the Zero Domain state. Since he couldn't surpass the opponent by relying on the wiring skills, he would use brute force.

"This kid is too reckless!" Xiao Lie in the maintenance area was shocked when he saw this scene. Continuing to accelerate into the corner at this speed is itself a very risky thing, not to mention that the cornering route chosen by Xiao Hao is the risky inner lane.

At this time, J, who was closely watching Magnum's data feedback, said: "No, Xiaohao is not messing around. This is the most suitable running method for the current Cyclone Charge environment."

"Although the speed of the Cyclone Charge is very fast now, judging from the data left by Xiao Hao when he entered the Zero Realm last time, this speed is still within his control. At the same time, the intelligent spoiler can enhance the stability of the Cyclone Charge and also allow him to have a stronger control over the car. However, at this speed, there is really no room for error when driving on the outer lane."

"Don't worry, this kid has never disappointed anyone at the critical moment." Huo Yuesheng said at this time.

Also on the outer lane, Lin Che's Lifting Turn method of overtaking Hijikata Rei and Okita Kai while driving Tai Chi War Dragon can be said to be the pinnacle of skills, so the running method of Whirlwind Charge on the curve at this moment is completely violent! Using the simplest skills and the most extreme speed to stick to the edge of the outer lane, even with the disadvantage of having to run a longer distance to run on the outer lane, Xiao Hao also completed the overtaking of Carlo and Michael.

At the same time, another car made the same choice as him. Nie Ming's Aurora rushed into the outer lane with the thrusters on. After entering the corner, the body of the Aurora began to shake violently under the violent acceleration of the thrusters. But under the influence of the belief that he could not lose to Xiao Hao and that he could do what there was no reason why he could not, Nie Ming managed to stabilize the body of the car, and after surpassing Hijikata Rei and Okita Kai in succession, he came to Yuri's Aurora No. 2 car.

Seeing this, Yuri immediately used the airflow to stabilize Nie Ming's car. After that, the two cars accelerated together and chased after Carlo and Michael who had already come out of the turn.

Another bend, Xiao Hao who has already taken the first place will naturally not give up his position easily. He seizes the advantageous position in advance. Everyone has such basic skills.

However, when facing the whirlwind charge defense, Carlo and Michael were surprised to find that they seemed to have no better solution.

Being in the same realm of zero, Xiao Hao had predicted most of their cornering routes in advance and had prepared for them. As for the route that Xiao Hao had used to overtake them before, Xiao Hao had thoughtfully left it for them. However, the two of them only did a quick calculation and found that the route was blocked.

If you want to overtake in the outer lane, the speed requirement will be higher. Now the Whirlwind Charge has slowly climbed to its maximum speed, which is higher than any of their cars.

However, the next moment, Nie Ming's Aurora roared and rushed into the outer passage with its thrusters on.

"Just in time!" Xiao Hao saw this scene on the rearview screen and whispered excitedly.

The Whirlwind Charge passed the curve at high speed, and Nie Ming's Aurora also surpassed Carlo and Michael with the Blizzard thrusters running at full speed. However, after passing the curve, the body of the Aurora began to shake again.

Nie Ming turned off the thrusters and tried to stabilize the car body. However, this time, Yuri who was still behind couldn't help him!

However, at this moment, there was only the last straight line left to the finish line, and Nie Ming had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere, so that the Aurora would not completely lose control and trigger the AI's protection program before reaching the finish line.

Whirlwind Charge was the first to cross the finish line, while Michael squeezed out the last bit of power from the turbocharger system before the finish line, and arrived one step ahead of Nie Ming's Aurora with a slight advantage. Carlo had also planned to use up his last bit of strength in the last straight line, but the Pegasus' aerodynamic system did not have any advantage in instantaneous bursts over ultra-short distances, and was one step behind Michael and Nie Ming.

After them, the cars of Yuri, Okita Kai, Lin Che and Hijikata Ling also crossed the finish line one after another.

After crossing the finish line, most people suffered from the aftereffects of the Zero Domain and lost consciousness. The cars, under the control of AI, scattered crookedly in the buffer zone behind the finish line. The experienced team doctors and members of the organizing committee rushed to support them as soon as possible.

However, the next second, Xiao Hao himself crawled out of the cockpit of the Tornado Charger, took off his helmet, and laughed to the sky.

Xiao Hao's animal-like physical fitness allowed him to successfully withstand the fatigue after the Zero Domain. He thus became the first driver in GPX history to attend the post-race press conference after winning a race championship.

As his body became more and more accustomed to the Zero Realm, and Lin Che did not try too hard this time, he woke up exceptionally early this time.

After Lin Che woke up, it was just time for everyone to have supper to celebrate Xiao Hao's victory. Speaking of which, this was the first time that Lin Che was able to properly attend a celebration banquet. When Lin Che won the championship before, he basically would not wake up until the early morning of the next day. And these bad friends didn't care whether the real host was present or not. In the previous two celebration banquets for Lin Che, a doll of Lin Che's image from the WGP period was placed on the table as a token of his respect.

This time was no exception. In the hotel restaurant, the core members of DRS gathered around a round table with a standard Cantonese hot pot set on it, while the technicians in the team sat at two tables not far away. They had been eating there for a while.

"Are you guys always fooling around like this?" Lin Che said with a gloomy face as he took away a doll that was placed on a seat.

"Hey, I saw you're not here." Fujiyoshi waved his hand and asked the waiter to add a set of bowls and chopsticks. "Since you're here, eat something."

"Xiao Hao, how do you feel?" After Lin Che sat down, he looked at Xiao Hao who was concentrating on eating.

"He couldn't be in better condition!" Xiao Lie held his forehead and said, "After the game, there was a press conference for almost two hours, and this kid didn't stop for a moment."

"It seems that he has begun to adapt to entering the zero realm. The meditation training during this period is still useful." J said.

"By the way, Ah Che, do you have a way to contact the International Space Station?" After everyone had eaten for a while, Ying Yulong suddenly asked. "Don't you think I'm too omnipotent? How can I contact the International Space Station?" Lin Che said, "If it's China's Tiangong Base, it's possible, but I'm really not familiar with the International Space Station."

"Did something happen?" Xiao Lie asked at this time.

"Qiao hasn't contacted me for five days. Normally, no matter how busy she is, she will still give me a private call during her break." Ying Yulong said, with a worried look on his face, "I feel something is wrong."

"Is there really anything wrong?" Chen Xiaohu said at this time, "When she wanted to go to the space, you should have stopped her. As far as I know, the main construction country of the International Space Station has not maintained it for a long time."

"Or I'll help you find out." Lin Che's expression became serious when he heard this. If it was true as Ying Yulong said, that Qiao had lost contact with him for five days, then maybe something really happened. In this regard, Lin Che's previous life's NASA had a criminal record.

However, before Lin Che contacted China Airlines, a piece of breaking news was pushed to Lin Che's mobile phone.

Engine failure? NASA astronauts stranded on International Space Station

"Shit, something really happened." Lin Che slapped his forehead and handed the phone to the person next to him.

This news not only explains the current predicament Brett and his team are facing, but also considerately traces the cause of the incident.

The official explanation given by NASA an hour ago was that the accident was caused by a batch of Chinese parts purchased by an Italian factory. However, upon further investigation, it was found that the Italian factory that cooperated with Boeing did not use a batch of Chinese parts after purchasing them, but kept them and used Indian parts instead.

[Even Italians know that Chinese products are more reliable than Indian products! ]

Asan, NASA, and Boeing, which was responsible for manufacturing Brett's spacecraft, once again became a laughing stock around the world. However, Eagle Dragon became really anxious after seeing this.

"Ache, is there any way to get Qiao down safely?" Ying Yulong said with a trembling voice. This man with a tough aura really didn't know what to do at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll ask first." Lin Che called China's aerospace department and learned some internal information that had not yet been dug out by the news.

The trouble Brett encountered this time was much more troublesome than the two unlucky guys who were trapped in the space station in Lin Che’s previous life!
Because in this life, China's aerospace industry has made rapid progress with the help of anti-gravity technology born from the research on MG ore. Now, there is a spacecraft port called Tiangong hovering in the sky above China, which is shuttled back and forth by a space elevator. China has also become a world leader in the exploration of the solar system.

Therefore, most countries in the world have now joined the space exploration plan proposed by China, and the International Space Station previously built with NASA as the core has basically been in a semi-abandoned state. Even Russia, another shareholder of the International Space Station, only sends two astronauts up each time to take a look around and tell everyone that they still have a piece of property here.

Compared with Brett and the others, the two unlucky guys in Lin Che's previous life at least didn't have to worry about their survival. Even if they were stranded in the space station, rescue supplies were still sent up in batches.

As for Brett and his friends, the Russian astronauts who had worked with them previously returned to Earth two weeks ago. Now, there are only three of them in the entire International Space Station!
"Can we contact them?" Lin Che asked after listening to the aerospace department staff's explanation of the current situation.

"This is a bit difficult, after all, we are not familiar with NASA." The reply came from the other end.

"That's pretty much it." Lin Che said to everyone after hanging up the phone.

"Damn it!" Ying Yulong hammered his thigh and gritted his teeth. He and Qiao have been together for so many years. Before boarding the spaceship, Qiao told him that they would get married when she came back. But now this happened. Who can accept this?"

At the same time, inside the International Space Station, Brett had just completed a spacewalk and repaired the faulty site of the return capsule from the outside.

However, before one problem was solved, another one arose. After the external hardware failure was finally resolved, the central control system of the return capsule suddenly stopped working again. Then, NASA's ground crew fell into chaos again.

"What the hell are you doing?" Even with Brett's good temper, he couldn't help but curse. "Knowing that there is a safer way to return, you argued with those congressional gentlemen and made us take the risk of repairing the return capsule and returning the same way. Now? The central control system has a problem again. Are you going to let us drive the spacecraft back manually?"

The command center fell strangely silent. After a while, someone stammered, "Maybe, this is the only way. After all, we have a contract with Boeing, and it means that we must abide by the spirit of the contract."

"Fuck your spirit of contract!" Brett started to curse.

"Are our lives no longer our lives? After discovering the problem a month ago, this is the solution you came up with after a full month of discussion?"

"Restore the network for me! They are too embarrassed to come here, so we go to China for help ourselves!" Qiao also became angry at this time. No matter who it is, it is difficult to stay calm in this situation.

"This... I'm afraid it won't work." said the head of NASA.

"So, have we been completely abandoned?" Brett took a deep breath. "Are those congressmen now hoping that we will die in space? After all, the lives of the three of us astronauts are not as important as maintaining a good relationship with the big guys behind Boeing."

The NASA ground crew didn't dare to respond, but it was obvious that he basically agreed.

"Damn it, wait! Isn't it just manually driving the spaceship back?" Brett hung up the communication and said through gritted teeth.
