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

Chapter 287

Tai Chi War Dragon and Tornado Charge relied on the pull of air currents to speed along the highway in Hong Kong steadily according to the route plan given by AI. Behind them, three drones followed closely behind them, projecting the images of the two cars into the live broadcast in real time.

However, this attempt did not seem to be very successful. In the pictures taken by the drone, the scenery around Tai Chi War Dragon and Tornado Charge flashed by quickly. The organizers and Hong Kong officials originally planned to use the broadcast footage of the game to let the world appreciate the scenery of Hong Kong. But after the CF cars accelerated, in order to keep up with their speed, the pictures taken by the drones had completely turned into a phantom. The audience could not even enjoy the scenery. Some viewers who were prone to motion sickness vomited after watching the pictures for a few minutes.

Fujiyoshi, who was watching the race with Brett in the audience seats of the Red Leaf Racetrack, couldn't help but curse: "What are these people from the organizing committee doing! Don't they test it before trying this?"

However, this live broadcast effect is just right for some viewers who are looking for excitement.

"The Tai Chi War Dragon and the Whirlwind Charge are almost catching up with the first echelon that changed their tires for the first time." Li Bing said, "However, after seeing the two approaching, the Arctic Fox team started the thrusters again, trying to create some distance. Will DRS chase them? If they do, the Tai Chi War Dragon's thrusters should be able to catch up."

After seeing Nie Ming and the others speed up, Tai Chi War Dragon and Whirlwind Charge simply maintained their current speed.

The AMG-01 that was left behind by Nie Ming and his team did not accelerate again.

"The first tire change point set by Mercedes is in front of us. Their first tire change point is set at 70km of the race, just like DRS." Li Bing said, "At the same time, their tactical choice is also similar. They use hard tires to last longer and save the chance of sprinting in the second half of the race."

Tai Chi War Dragon, Whirlwind Charge, and the two AMG-01s maintained their current speed. The two teams had no intention of interfering with each other and ran clearly on both sides of the road, one on the left and one on the right.

Soon, the four cars arrived at the first tire-changing point. He Wang led several technicians to help Tai Chi War Dragon and Tornado Charge complete the tire change with their hands and feet. Due to the shortage of manpower, compared with the previous tire change of about 2 seconds, this time two people were delayed by nearly five seconds each. Fortunately, although the Mercedes on the other side of the road had sufficient manpower, there was an additional process of refueling, so although DRS was delayed more time, it actually set off first.

After coming out of the maintenance area, Lin Che turned on the thrusters. As the speed of the Tai Chi War Dragon increased dramatically, the airflow generated also pulled the Whirlwind Charge to speed up together. It was not until the speed reached 370 that Lin Che turned off the thrusters and made room for the Whirlwind Charge. After the Whirlwind Charge ended, it began to use the airflow created by the smart spoiler to wrap the two cars in it, allowing the two to accelerate in a less energy-consuming way.

While the two were changing tires, the Tianma behind them also caught up.

The Tornado Charge and Carlo's Pegasus were driving side by side, trying to get rid of the opponent with their teammates. At this time, the live broadcast screen also cut to the first-person perspective of the two people's cab.

The Tianma AI, named after the founder of the team, kept telling us about the road conditions: "155-degree right turn, 170-meter straight line, 147-degree right turn, 60-meter straight line, 90-degree left turn..."

In the Whirlwind Charge, Magnum's voice is like this: "Brake two, right three, gas two, brake one, right three, gas three, left full, full gas..."

The audience who saw this scene had several big question marks in their heads. What was going on at this time? An encrypted call.

However, after the Whirlwind Charge gradually left the Pegasus behind, Li Bing suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

"Enzo only provided Carlo with standard road condition information, but it took Carlo some time to process this information. Although for a driver of his level, this is a blink of an eye, the instructions provided by Magnum to Xing Mahao are something that Xing Mahao does not need to deal with at all. The AI ​​has already processed the track conditions according to Xing Mahao's daily driving habits."

At the same time, the scene switched to the cockpit of the Tai Chi War Dragon. Although the instructions given by Silver were completely different from those of Magnum, the paths taken by the two cars were basically the same.

"It seems that DRS is better in terms of tacit understanding with AI." Fei Ge said, "I heard that their two AIs, Silver and Magnum, were trained from scratch and only serve the two drivers. In this way, it can explain the tacit understanding they have."

At this time, Carlo also figured out what the process that Lin Che and Xiao Hao omitted was, but he didn't have time to improve the AI. He could only focus more on processing the information given by the AI ​​and speed up to try to catch up with them.

"Ahai, you take the lead in the next section. Improve your concentration and try to shorten the time of processing the road information given by the AI." After persisting for a while, Carlo gave up his position to Okita Kai behind him.

"Got it." After Okita Kai took over Carlo's position, he also increased his concentration and drove the Pegasus to catch up with the speed of DRS. But after persisting for a while, the two had to change shifts again. Driving a CF car is an extremely stressful thing in itself, and now they have to force themselves to increase their concentration, which consumes a lot of their mental energy.

"Forget it, let them stay in the lead. If we force them to catch up, it will consume too much energy." After taking over the position given up by Okita Kai, Carlo gritted his teeth and temporarily slowed down. "They are using hard tires now. Even if they can take the lead, they can't widen the gap to the point where we can't catch up."

"You don't want to follow anymore? It's boring." Xiao Hao saw the two people slowing down in the rearview mirror, and said with a pout.

"Sliver, how far ahead of us is the Aurora now?" Lin Che asked.

"Sir, the Aurora is currently 1.7 kilometers ahead of you, and their current speed is basically the same as yours."

"I understand." Lin Che nodded. The distance of 1.7 kilometers was not too difficult to catch up. When he changed the tires to soft tires next time, he could accelerate to full speed and it would not take long to make up for the distance.

"At present, the situation in front has basically stabilized. The Arctic Fox team has been leading, and DRS is not far behind. Ferrari and Mercedes have already merged behind. The speed of the four teams has stabilized." Li Bing said, "We will focus on the echelons behind."

The camera turned, and in the picture, Muller's MCL-C01 was mixed in the last echelon of six cars, driving at a leisurely pace. As the only driver besides the Four Emperors who could enter the Zero Realm, he received a lot of attention in this race.

"Müller doesn't seem to be planning to speed up. He has already changed tires and refueled," said Fei Ge. "But he is still in the last echelon. If he continues like this, it will be hard for him to get any points, let alone a ranking. The distance between them and the last car in the points zone, Red Bull Racing's No. 4 car, is more than kilometers."

"What's going on with Muller? When he changed tires last time, he filled up the fuel and hydrogen in the thrusters. Logically, he should be able to catch up immediately!" The situation on the field at this time made McLaren's technical director anxious. Muller signed a three-year guarantee contract, but he didn't! The team's performance in these few games has put him on the verge of being fired. "What did Muller say?" McLaren's technical director asked a technician not far away.

"Mueller asked the AI ​​to disconnect the team's voice connection." The technician replied.

"How... could this happen? Has the injury from last time not fully recovered yet?"

At this moment, in the cockpit of MCL-C01, Muller placed his right hand on the thruster lever several times. Although as long as he pushed it down, the explosive speed of MCL-C01 would soon be able to throw away the group of people around him, he still did not make up his mind to push it down. To him, this lever did not seem to be the switch of the thruster, but a door to hell.

He has always been a prodigy in the racing field, starting from WGP. He has always been very confident. The god of mini racing, Lin Che? He was just born two years earlier than him. If they competed on the same stage, he might not be his opponent.

Everyone recognized his strength. Even his biggest rival in the mini racing arena, Ichimonji Goki, admitted after the WGP final that he lost in terms of personal strength.

Therefore, after GPX was established and he knew he had the opportunity to compete with Lin Che, he accepted McLaren's invitation without hesitation, just to prove that he had the ability to defeat Lin Che.

At the same time, after the Zero Realm was announced, he entered that realm after just a little practice, which further illustrates his talent.

But from that day on, he was lost in the feeling of being omnipotent. In the end, it was Lin Che, whom he had always regarded as a challenge, who rescued him.

Although he survived, it would be difficult for him to face future challenges as a complete racing driver. He seemed to have lost the passion of a racing driver to pursue the ultimate speed.

"That's it. It seems not bad." Muller took his hand away from the thruster lever. "After I finish this contract, I will go back to Munich to retire. After all, I am cheating the British out of their money."

Mueller was talking to himself, but at this moment, Michael's words yesterday: "You can fool me, but don't fool yourself." suddenly echoed in Mueller's mind.

"I..." Mueller frowned and gritted his teeth, "Am I really lying to myself?"

At this time, in the last echelon, the No. 01 car of the Sauber team could not hold back and began to accelerate. Seeing this, the others followed suit. The last echelon accelerated instantly, leaving behind the MCL-C, the only one that did not accelerate immediately.

"The lagging teams have started to speed up and are charging towards the points zone."

Mueller in the cockpit listened to the AI's constant warnings of being overtaken, and his right hand tightly gripped the thruster lever.

"Damn it, I'm going to die! Even if I die, I'm going to die as quickly as possible!" Muller gritted his teeth and pushed the thrusters to the highest gear.

The thrusters of MCL-C01 instantly spewed out a dark blue flame, pushing the car forward at a violent acceleration.

"Don't block the road!" Muller, who had made up his mind, finally showed the appearance of the Caesar on the racing track again. The MCL-C01 in a violent acceleration state was easily controlled by him, and other cars that accelerated one step ahead were easily overtaken by him in a short time.

"Wow! Are they finally getting serious?" Li Bing said in surprise, "This is what Caesar should look like on the racetrack!"

In the maintenance area of ​​MCL, the technical director was in tears. Muller, who he had high hopes for, has finally returned to normal, and his job can finally be saved!
After overtaking the last group of cars, Muller continued to accelerate without stopping, chasing the car in front. It was not until the speed exceeded 550 that he felt the pressure of processing the information provided by the AI ​​and temporarily slowed down the acceleration.

At this moment, he once again felt the door to the realm of zero, and he seemed to be able to hear the faint call coming from behind the door.

"It's not the time yet..." Muller stared ahead, took a deep breath, and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​pushing open the door.

At this time, in the front echelon, the Arctic Fox team also completed the second tire change. After the second tire change, after using the thrusters to speed up to 540, Nie Ming and Yuri were not in a hurry to continue speeding up. This time they changed to a set of hard tires, as long as they could maintain the current advantage before the last tire change.

Soon, Ferrari also arrived at the second maintenance point. The technicians transferred from F1 by the team were in charge of this station. Some of them were old acquaintances who had cheated him before.

So, at this stop, Carlo was even more alert and watched the movements of these people carefully.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong until the AI ​​gave the instruction to continue moving forward.

"Huh~" Carlo and Okita Kai breathed a sigh of relief. If there was no problem this time, then the next and last station would be staffed by veteran technicians from the GPX division who had been dealing with CF racing for a long time. If even the technicians transferred from F2 and F1 who had just learned for less than a week did not make any mistakes, then it could be said that they, who were experienced in many battles, should not have any problems either.

"Start the Apollo aerodynamic components." Carlo activated the explosive power of the car after the start. They had just changed the tires and had the opportunity to catch up a certain distance while the tires were in good condition.

The speed of the Pegasus quickly returned to the level before entering the station, and was still speeding up. Carlo and Okita Kai took turns leading the team, catching up under the pressure of high-speed processing of information provided by the AI.
