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

Chapter 299: Beginning of Zero Realm
"Are you coming for me?" Chen Xiaohu's words reminded Lin Che. Lin Che thought about what had happened recently, then turned around and returned to the hotel. He wanted to confirm some things.

Relying on Chen Xiaohu's ID, Lin Che learned from the hotel that the room that Ming Yunzheng had previously booked under the name of Feng Jianba Lu had been renewed for nearly two weeks. Calculating the time, it was exactly the day after the Chongqing station ended.

"So, that guy has been staying in Changsha for a long time." After Lin Che got satisfactory information, all the recent events were connected together.

"By the way, is that guy so narrow-minded? He even uses a fake name like this. How much he hates Dr. Kazemi." Seeing that Lin Che seemed to have thought of something, Chen Xiaohu finally couldn't resist the urge to complain. Ever since he saw the fake name this guy used, he had been holding back his complaints. But seeing that Lin Che seemed to be thinking about something, he was afraid of disturbing Lin Che, so he had to hold it back. Now he can finally say it out.

It was at this time that Lin Che noticed this. Looking at the pseudonym of Kazami Baka, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. It was because no one in this small hotel understood Japanese, otherwise they would have discovered the abnormality long ago.

However, Chen Xiaohu was right about one thing, this guy is definitely not a very narrow-minded person.

"If Ming Yunzheng has already contacted the two extreme athletes from the Red Bull Racing team, then their performance in today's qualifying round can be explained." Lin Che said, frowning, "Even if they are used to the high load of the Zero Realm, they still have to enter the Zero Realm during training. To be honest, this can be regarded as an abuse of the Zero Realm."

"Brother Lin, are you saying that the AI ​​installed on the two Red Bull cars today was developed by that guy?" Chen Xiaohu asked curiously.

"It is very likely that this is the case. People who enter the zero-crossing realm cannot fail to feel the huge physical drain of this state, but they often enter that state while running during their usual training. I originally thought that they just wanted to improve their driving skills quickly, but even so, their speed of improvement is a bit too exaggerated." Lin Che said.

"But if their cars are equipped with AI developed by Ming Yunzheng, then it is easy to explain. Silver and Magnum are AI that grow together with the drivers. The tacit understanding between Xiaohao and I and the AI ​​has been cultivated bit by bit over a long period of time. Any suggestion during the race is calculated with reference to our current status. But in that guy's philosophy, AI and drivers do not need tacit understanding. His AI will only calculate the optimal solution in the true sense, and then force the driver to keep up with his own pace. But with the skills they showed in the last race, unless they enter the realm of zero, they will not be able to complete the AI's instructions at all." Lin Che sorted out the context of the matter, but found that even if he knew it, he couldn't do anything.

Did they report to GPX officials that Red Bull’s AI violated the rules?

This is obviously not a good idea. Although Lin Che is one of the initiators of GPX and he and Fujiyoshi have a high say in the board of directors, they cannot interfere with another team without evidence. Although Lin Che and Fujiyoshi can still do it if they are tougher, if they really do so, it will undoubtedly be a huge damage to the credibility of GPX.

Lin Che was not at all surprised that GPX did not find any problems during the vehicle inspection of RB-C01.

He also participated in the development of the AI ​​source code that Lin Che opened up. The underlying logic of the AI ​​he developed is definitely to protect the lives of drivers, but this is only limited to protecting against injuries such as car accidents. The hidden dangers of the Zero Domain cannot be solved by AI even for Lin Che now, and the GPX officials certainly cannot judge this.

In other words, unless John and Kevin are completely trapped in the zero zone during the game and their lives are in danger, there is no way to judge Red Bull's AI as violating the rules.

"Let's try to explain it clearly to Red Bull first. However, I don't think the effect will be too good." Lin Che showed helplessness. If you put yourself in their shoes, you will find that you have finally made some progress, but someone suddenly tells you without any evidence that such a method is very dangerous and it is best not to use it. Who would believe it, especially when the person who said this is their biggest rival.

"Anyway, let's give it a try, and call Michael and Muller along. Michael can still have a say among the European teams, and Muller's experience is enough to prove something." Lin Che thought to himself, and returned to the hotel where the GPX players were staying with Chen Xiaohu and the guards he brought with him.

……

“I was wondering why they wanted to enter the Zero Realm during the qualifying round.” Muller showed an expression of sudden enlightenment after hearing Lin Che’s intention, and then said to Lin Che, “However, if you want to remind them, I don’t recommend you to do so.”

"Those guys won't not do it just because it's risky," Michael said. "They're Red Bull."

Lin Che: ...

This is true. As the world's largest sponsor of people who seek death, their creed is to do as much as they can to get themselves killed.

Kevin and John had previously tried wingsuit flying, with a mortality rate of 30%. It can be said that every time they take off, there is a one-third chance of not being able to fly or returning to the ground, but they still played to the top of the world. Now if Lin Che told them that their current running method would put them in danger, they would just think that this is not a death. Brothers are people favored by God!
"So, for them, it's useless to tell them how dangerous this is," Muller said. "They will only think that you are doing this because you don't have the confidence to beat them, which will make them more determined to commit suicide."

"Come to think of it, if we hadn't already been able to enter the realm of zero, this kind of AI would actually be quite tempting. I wouldn't give up on it either," said Michael.

"Don't joke, using that kind of AI is bound to kill you!" Lin Che said. Although the development of the world has become a mess, in the original world line, the drivers who used this experimental version of AI all died from being addicted to the realm of zero.

"So what? Before the advent of the CF car, 1 drivers died in the F52 arena, but did that affect the drivers who really pursue the limit and continue to step onto the track?" said Muller.

"Hey, hey, hey, can this be the same?" Lin Che was a little helpless.

"If we really want to stop them, there is only one way to choose, and that is to tell them that their methods cannot really break through the limits." Michael laughed, "There is a whole new world above the Zero Territory, right?"

"Did you feel it?" Lin Che raised his eyebrows.

"There is one thing," Michael nodded, "Although it's not very clear, I can feel something. The Zero Territory is not the end of the racer. Moreover, that realm cannot be reached by AI."

"That's right. That realm is unpredictable by any AI." Lin Che recalled the feeling when he reached the Heart of Clear Mirror and Still Water in Youxing's world. It was a special feeling that one is the world itself. If the Zero Domain can see through the future two seconds later and make the most correct choice, then the Heart of Clear Mirror and Still Water can allow the driver to clearly see every possibility in the future and even create possibilities that did not exist originally. That's how the Meteor Dragon that did not exist in the future was born. This is something that AI can never do.

"That's what I told you." Michael smiled, "It seems you've discovered it too."

"That's easy. Tell them with facts that their current choices actually limit the future they could have reached, and then they will naturally give up that kind of AI." Muller said. "I understand." After talking with the two, Lin Che suddenly understood. Michael was right. For these extreme athletes, if you tell them that they will die, they may not care, but if you tell them with facts that they cannot break through the limit that way, then they will give up.

"By the way, what is the name of that realm?" Before leaving, Michael suddenly called Lin Che.

"Clear Mind, as clear as a mirror and still water." Lin Che turned around and smiled.

"Ming Jing Zhi Shui? I see." Michael nodded and said in understanding.

……

The next day, the main competition started as scheduled.

"Welcome to Five Star Sports. This race is the first GPX Changsha race. The race is held at Songya Lake GPX International Circuit. I am Bingge."

"I'm Brother Fei."

"I'm Brother Ran. The three of us will provide you with live commentary on this game."

The iron triangle of Five Star Sports finished introducing themselves in the studio. There was still some time before the game officially started, and the commentators also started chatting.

"Thanks to Brother Bing, the qualifying results of DRS and Arctic Fox, two teams nicknamed the Four Emperors by domestic audiences, were not very ideal and they could only start after the tenth place," Brother Fei said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with me. It was players Xing Ma Hao and Nie Ming who made mistakes!" Li Bing denied it immediately.

"However, Red Bull really made a splash in yesterday's qualifying." Ran Ge smiled and helped Bing Ge change the subject. "Not only did they get the first pole position in the history of the GPX team, they also left this record in the largest racing track in China that was just completed two weeks ago. I wonder if they can continue their hot form in yesterday's qualifying today."

"I think it's still a bit difficult," said Li Bing, "because yesterday they achieved their records without any external pressure. In today's race, under the pressure of their opponents, it's still a big question whether the two Red Bull drivers can maintain their form."

"That's true." Fei Ge nodded. "The decision-making when engaging with an opponent at close range is also a very important indicator of a driver's driving skills. In this regard, the performance of the two Red Bull drivers in the last race was not satisfactory. Although they have made great progress in this period, this aspect still depends more on the accumulation of experience. I think it will be difficult for them to replicate yesterday's performance without interference."

"The warm-up is over, and the race is about to begin." As the twenty cars on the field finished a lap of warm-up and lined up at the starting point in order according to their qualifying rankings, the commentators also ended their chat.

The signal lights came on one by one, and the race began! Twenty cars rushed out.

"The two RB-C01s at the front started their thrusters at the beginning of the battle! They were charging very hard!" Brother Fei exclaimed.

"Both of them started with soft tires, trying to establish a good advantage at the start." Ran Ge said, "Although MCL-C01 also started the thrusters at the start, the explosive power of McLaren's thrusters cannot be compared with Red Bull's thrusters that pursue maximum explosive power. The two RB-C01s established a huge advantage at the beginning, but their bodies have shown serious signs of being out of control. Can they stabilize?"

"It's difficult, right? Starting from zero with such a powerful burst, the acceleration the driver needs to withstand is unimaginable. In this situation, it is almost impossible to pull the car back from the edge of loss of control. I can only say that the two drivers of the Red Bull team were a bit irrational." Li Bing said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the RB-C01, which was on the verge of losing control, immediately stabilized at this speed.

"It's all thanks to our soldier's superb strength!" Brother Fei couldn't help but speak up.

"Were they going to force our way into the Zero Realm right from the start?" Mueller, who was in third place, frowned upon seeing this. "They are both more desperate than I thought."

"Yes, that's it." In a small hotel in a county near Changsha, Ming Yun stared at the picture on the small TV in the room and said excitedly, "Tell the world that you are the best drivers!"

Kevin and John's sudden outburst at the start put the greatest pressure on the drivers at the back. The race had just finished three laps, and the USCF driver currently at the back had to face the crisis of being lapped and eliminated. Although being lapped and eliminated was already a daily routine for their team, it was a little too early today!

The driver in last place gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to speed up, thinking to himself, "It's just that the speed is fast. If I can get into a good position, judging from their performance in the last game, they shouldn't be able to overtake perfectly."

Lacking the explosive power to make a short burst to shake off the RB-C01, the USCF veteran from the F1 era could only try to rely on his experience to block their route forward and try to keep them behind him.

"If I can't handle those geniuses, can I handle you two amateurs?"

"In 0.74 seconds, there will be a gap at 32 degrees on the left. After speeding up, turn right as far as possible." BIO's emotionless voice sounded in RB-C01, indicating the route for Kevin who was preparing to overtake.

A few seconds later, the defense set up by USCF's No. 01 driver was torn apart by RB-C, and he was unfortunately eliminated.
