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

Chapter 312: Off-road transformation, the strongest version of whirlwind charge

The organizer sent the information about the next game to each team very early.

This time, the Chang'an Station race is called Chang'an Station, but the starting point is set at Qinghai Lake. The drivers need to run around Qinghai Lake and then head all the way to Chang'an. They will pass through many uninhabited roads along the way. The entire race is nearly 1500 kilometers.

The track for this race is a brand new attempt by the GPX official, designed to test the performance of the car and the driver in extreme conditions.

However, Fujiyoshi, who attended the meeting to decide on this format of competition, told everyone that the real reason was because a certain idol group's anniversary concert had been created as a huge event. Chang'an's Culture and Tourism Bureau had been scared, and even though other places that had already hosted the event had made a lot of money through GPX, they were extremely cautious this time and were unwilling to host such a large event in the city at all costs.

Then, after much communication, this off-road and road race was organized.

Before the Wuhan station started, DRS had already sent Ying Yulong and Jiro Maru to explore the site in advance. According to the information they sent back, although there was no real off-road track in the venue, the roads in the uninhabited areas were actually no different from off-road tracks. In any case, the existing CF racing cars would definitely not last long on them.

Therefore, the first thing each team does after the race in Wuhan is to modify the existing racing cars.

"The Tai Chi War Dragon is okay. Although off-road issues were not considered at the beginning of the design, it is not difficult to add an off-road mode like a mini racing car." Lin Che pulled out the original design drawings of the mini racing car version of the Tai Chi War Dragon, and after thinking about it, he began to modify the existing Tai Chi War Dragon drawings.

After Lin Che completed the modified design of the Tai Chi War Dragon, he called up the blueprint of the Whirlwind Charge, took a look at the details, and sighed. The trouble was just beginning.

Although the CF racing version of Tai Chi War Dragon is not equipped with an off-road mode, the foundation of this car is capable of adapting to off-road modifications. However, the Tornado Charge is different. This car was designed for the highest track speed at the beginning, and off-road was never considered at all. In addition, the design of the Tornado Charge is highly integrated. If you want to change it, it will affect the entire body, which is very troublesome.

What's even more unbearable is that when other teams encounter such things, the drivers can still help a little, such as giving some suggestions for changes or something, but as for Xiao Hao, it is quite difficult to communicate with him with Huo Yuesheng as the translator. Hei Ze was tortured a lot when designing the lightning charge. Lin Che thought it would be better not to cause trouble to himself.

Lin Che thought about it and found that apart from installing a few shock absorbers in some less critical locations, there was no other good way to modify it. This CF racing version of the Cyclone Charge was his masterpiece. Except for the aerodynamic structure which was improved based on the mini racing version of the Cyclone Charge, all other aspects were Lin Che's design. When designing this car, in order to increase its maximum speed, many components were linked together, but now it suddenly needed to be equipped with off-road capabilities.

If the off-road transformation of Tai Chi War Dragon is like uninstalling the antivirus software on the computer when it is not needed in order to run more smoothly, and it can be installed back anytime when needed, then Tornado Charge is no different from connecting a keyboard to the Famicom, and the difficulty is naturally incomparable.

After Lin Che made some attempts, he didn't see very good results on the simulator. The several shock absorbers added to the Whirlwind Charge could at most reduce the impact of the off-road track on speed, but it was basically impossible to make it adapt to the off-road venue like the Tai Chi War Dragon in the off-road mode. Unless Lin Che could now use the Leaping Charge, Xiao Hao's performance in this game would probably be very struggling.

On the plane to Qinghai, Lin Che was thinking about solutions.

J, who was standing nearby, saw this and came over to ask, "Is it because of the off-road modification of the Cyclone Charge?"

"Yes." Lin Che nodded. "If we want to get points and maintain our ranking in the next race, relying on the Tai Chi War Dragon alone is not enough. However, the off-road modification of the Cyclone Charge is too difficult. This car was not designed for off-road tracks."

"Let me see..." Hearing this, J also lowered his head to look at the design drawings. "The designs on these drawings can basically only reduce the impact of the off-road track on the cyclonic charge. These shock absorber settings are completely out of tune with the entire car."

"Shock absorbers? Ah Che, are you planning to make the Leap Charge?" Xiao Hao also poked his head over from the back seat and asked.

"Don't even think about it. Not to mention that the aerodynamic structure of the Leap Charge is totally unsuitable for making a CF racing car, haven't you ever considered the cost of building a car from scratch for this race?" Fujiyoshi pressed Xiao Hao's head back.

"But if we can't make a Leap Charge, wouldn't it be better to make a prototype of the Leap Charge based on the Whirlwind Charge? Just like what we did in the high tower home court in Italy." Xiao Hao said.

In DRS's private plane, after Xiao Hao said this, everyone fell silent.

"Yes, speaking of the strongest state of Leaping Charge, no, Whirlwind Charge, it's the car you put together in the match with the Italian team." Lin Che also reacted at this time and said after hammering his palm.

The speed of the Whirlwind Charge, which was temporarily assembled from parts of five cars of the TRF Victory Team, was not even as fast as the top-level Leap Charge. That speed record was not truly broken until the fifth-generation Lightning Charge was launched.

Moreover, the Leaping Charge back then was actually far from achieving its theoretically maximum speed. On that car, both the ZMC chassis and the shock absorbers installed on it were ultimately designed to solve a series of problems caused by the Leaping Charge's excessive speed at the time, thus putting layers of restrictions on the car. The Leaping Charge, as an upgraded version of the Cyclone Charge, had a theoretical maximum speed that was the one the five of them had modified with parts. More importantly, Lin Che remembered that the Leaping Charge in that situation, even without the shock absorbers installed, was able to run like a flying fish on the bumpy road.

As long as we add a few insignificant shock absorbers on that basis and solve the buffering problem a little, maybe it will work!

"Ah? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xiao Hao scratched his head.

Lin Che looked at Xiao Hao speechlessly. The problem that had been bothering him for a long time was suddenly brought up by Xiao Hao and sounded like a completely feasible idea. What was even more annoying was that this kid might not have understood the current situation at all. He could only say that this was how God fed him.

"Well, the question now is how to transfer the manufacturing concept of that car to the CF racing car." Everyone ignored Xiao Hao and started discussing how to replicate the manufacturing concept of the car that only existed for less than 10 minutes using the CF racing car.

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it." Lin Che logged into his cloud drive and began to search through the massive folders. Then, in front of everyone's shocked eyes, Lin Che dug out the data and drawings of the New Triangle Arrow, Speedy Cobra, Hurricane Sonic, and Primal War God Evolver that he had left behind. "Damn! We don't have these things anymore! You still have them?" Teng Ji said, gritting his teeth.

"I remember that after the Cyclone Charger was damaged, the chip used was that of the Evolver, so although there was no hardware support at the time in terms of the ability to handle airflow, there was a significant improvement, so it had such a fast speed. But now there is no need to worry, the CF racing version of the Cyclone Charger's explosive means itself uses an intelligent spoiler similar to the Evolver's Dolphin system at the time, so there is no need to change this aspect." J said at this time.

"The transmission kit used was from the Speed ​​Cobra. I don't know why, but the transmission kit, which is clearly designed for high-torque racing cars, is so well-adapted to the high-speed car, the Tornado Charge. Not only did the speed not drop at all, but it even became even faster."

"If we follow this line of thought, then each gear of the Tornado Charge's transmission can try to increase the torque." Lin Che said, and began to change some data.

"Which part of the new triangular arrow was used?" Lin Che asked, but unfortunately Yingyulong, who had gone to survey the site in advance, was not on the plane at this time.

"I remember it was parts related to speed, such as bearings." Xiao Hao said after recalling.

"OK, just stack all the parts for this part with good performance. As soon as we get off the plane, I'll ask Kurosawa to send over the parts prepared for the lightning charge." Lin Che said. There was nothing much to say about the new triangular arrow. Just stack the numerical values ​​and you'll be done.

"Well, the focus now is the tail wing of the Hurricane Sonic." Lin Che called up the blueprint of the Hurricane Sonic. "Although only the tail wing was used at that time, a strange reaction occurred when the two similar but completely different aerodynamic structures of the Hurricane Sonic and the Tornado Charge were put together. Finding out the reason is probably the key to the problem. It may not work to directly put the Hurricane Sonic's tail wing on the CF racing version of the Tornado Charge." Lin Che said, and installed the mini racing car simulation software on the computer again after a long absence. After entering the original data of the Tornado Charge and the Hurricane Sonic, he carefully observed the data changes in the simulator.

Lin Che stared at the changes in the data on the screen and adjusted the parameters from time to time. During this process, everyone remained quiet and did not disturb him. Everyone knew that when it came to such delicate aerodynamic issues, Lin Che was the expert in this area.

"Found you." Twenty minutes later, Lin Che suddenly smiled, then quickly opened another software and began to draw a new tail wing from scratch. This tail wing was based on the tail wing style of the original Hurricane Sonic. Four air ducts were reserved on both sides of the slope-shaped tail wing integrated with the body. Then, Lin Che replaced the modeled tail wing on the Tornado Charge in the simulator and began the simulation.

"It is true. After adding this tail wing, the airflow becomes smoother." said J.

“Well, after getting off the car, let’s try to modify the Whirlwind Charge according to this blueprint.” Lin Che said as he sprayed the newly completed tail wing with a red and white paint job, and then wrote the word "Sonic scared" on it.

"Hey, don't you want to change the paint? It looks ugly when paired with the blue hue of Tornado Charge!" Xiao Hao suddenly said.

"What should be changed? Let's just leave it as it is. Xiaolie, what do you think?" Lin Che turned and looked at Xiaolie.

"I have no objection." Xiao Lie nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect that the Speed ​​​​Sonic could also participate in the GPX event in this way."

"What about me?" Fujiyoshi also came over to join in the fun. He stretched out his chubby hand, pointed at the wheel cover on the rear side of the Tornado Charge on the screen and said, "How about arranging a few Golden Flame Lightning paint jobs here?"

"No problem, I'll arrange it." Lin Che was in a playful mood and quickly completed the paint design according to Fujiyoshi's requirements. Anyway, it was just a matter of spraying it again. The Whirlwind Charge itself needed a major overhaul, so spraying it one more time was a simple matter compared to other changes.

"Let's use red flame paint on the front wheel, similar to the new triangle arrow. Otherwise, Aaron may not say anything, but Erlangwan will definitely have an opinion." Lin Che decided to go all out and continued with the changes.

"That sounds really interesting. In my opinion, I will add a few purple icons on both sides of the cockpit." Seeing this, J also came over to join in the fun. Soon, the Tornado Charger in the design drawing was completely changed. Except for the iconic word "Hao", elements of his former teammates were added to other places.

As for the driver's own opinion, everyone simply ignored it.

"Hey! This is really ugly!" Xiao Hao muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Is it ugly? No?" Chen Hewang took a look at the 3D model on the screen. He had to say that the foundation of Whirlwind Charge was too good. It looked very handsome no matter how it was painted.

"It looks really good." Huo Yuesheng nodded in agreement.

Amidst laughter and joy, everyone arrived in Qinghai. After getting off the plane, everyone immediately transported the two cars that needed major repairs that were brought on the plane to the repair shop, and then everyone started the modification work together.

Five days later, the Tai Chi War Dragon equipped with off-road mode and the Tornado Charge, which was modified according to the new ideas, were officially pushed out of the maintenance shop and started the first pre-race training.

In the training schedule of the day, the Ferrari was ahead of the DRS. Carlo, who had just finished training, couldn't help laughing when he saw the new whirlwind charge: "Is it this car?"

It seemed that incident also left a deep impression on him.
