The Strongest Racer Maintenance Guide

Chapter 10

do machines have souls

departure.

The main peak of Tianchi is the last stage of the Changbai Mountain Ice and Snow Rally.

Nana's task in this stage is to chase another car and get to No.2.

Visibility is poor, wind blows snow, much harder to drive than Blizzard.Because in the case of high speed, wind and snow not only damage the front windshield, but also affect the grip of the tires.

Especially when going through sharp corners, if the grip of the four wheels of the four-wheel drive car is not the same, it is very likely that the road conditions may look normal, but it will just slip.

"Turn the bend slowly." Zhong Su said so at the third bend.

Xia Qianchen really didn't want to slow down and turn around, but he couldn't do anything if he didn't want to. He wasn't the only car like this, everyone was aggrieved.

"I'm really..." Xia Qian said at the speed of the car, "When will the wind stop, a squirrel must have been blown over just now."

"The brown-yellow ball just now should be a chestnut." Zhong Su said, "It doesn't matter. The first 50 meters are 5 on the right. The road is narrow and there are many trees. Go slowly."

The commands that racing drivers hate to hear the most: slow down, slow down the throttle, and give up if you can't.

"Uh..." Zhong Su sighed, "If you can't do it, let's pour one."

The bend is too narrow, and it is impossible to drift. Xia Qianshen has run the car for five years, and it has been two years since the last time he reversed the car in the bend.

After finally passing through the windy section, the Tianchi Lake was followed by a cross flow of fog. Since the temperature dropped to minus 29 degrees last night, the steam condensed above the Tianchi Lake was blown into the mountains by the wind.

Everything in this fairyland seems to the racing driver, like an asthma patient surrounded by catkins in the sky.

"Zhong Su." Xia Qianchen called him, "The fog is too thick, and the blind is opened. If something goes wrong, don't blame me."

"It's easy to say, there is a right 60 in the first 4 meters, followed by a left 5." Zhong Su reported, "This left 5 is very narrow, you have touched it in reverse."

The so-called touch is to try it yourself. In the case of extremely low visibility, you may have to hang half of the wheels to know that the limit of this bend is here.

Xia Qianchen trusted him very much. Maybe it was a very warm night in Zhongsu's bed the night before, or maybe it was the virgin forest, the small boiler in the small warehouse, and the raging wind outside, which made the small warehouse extraordinarily special. Warm.

Like a log cabin in a snowstorm, with a fireplace burning, they depend on each other for survival.

In fact, there was no clinging last night, it was real clinging today on the track.

"Damn it." Xia Qianchen cursed, "Did you feel it?"

Zhong Su, the co-pilot, almost missed a beat, "I feel it."

This 5th left bend, if it is done normally, Xia Qianchen can even pass it without thinking too much, relying on muscle memory.But when the field of view is extremely poor, it is really a person sitting in the car and poking around.

Zhong Su was indeed frightened for a moment, because just now Xia Qianchen's right front wheel moved forward an inch, or Xia Qianchen's handbrake was half a beat behind, and now they were already rolling on the slope.

Relying on the braking of the handbrake and emergency counter-steering to rescue the car, Xia Qianchen successfully passed this extremely dangerous low-visibility cliff bend.

Tianchi main peak stage is only more than 30 kilometers.However, there are many turnings and a thousand-meter altitude drop, which requires not only absolute driving skills, but also the physique of the racer and navigator.So Zhong Su said that he must not catch a cold.

"Are you okay?" Zhong Su asked, "Don't be afraid, turn left before you, try to pass at high speed, there is no cliff in front, let's try the feasibility of high-speed cornering."

Xia Qianchen also had this intention, so he hummed.

However, his "um" made Zhong Su mistakenly think that he was embarrassed.

"Qianchen, this corner can be passed at high speed, the worst result is just to rush out."

"Damn." Xia Qian sank into 5th gear, "You don't think I'm afraid, do you?"

After finishing speaking, there was only a wonderful roar of the engine, and the power brought by the deep accelerator made the car finally finish the first half of the suffocation, and it was not too much to say that it was creeping.

Xia Qianchen did not go through this left turn at high speed.

Xia Qianchen chose to float.

Ice and snow roads, snow tires, four-wheel drive.These three elements are doomed that the Tianchi main peak stage cannot drift.

But this stage has a lot of back turns, if you don't want to float, you will fall behind.But if the strength is not enough to force the drift, accidents will happen.

The cranes of the race party are waiting at these turns, because once they roll downhill, they can only be rescued by cranes.

Xia Qianchen knows that these three elements must be very cautious if they want to make a turn around.If the rear tires of the snow tires can't scratch the ground, the tires will burn out and float over.

As long as the throttle is controlled well and the direction is dared to hit, the four-wheel drive can also cause the pendulum to drift.

The racing car is not soundproof at all, because to reduce weight, useless things like soundproofing will not be done.So even though the two people in the car were wearing helmets, they could still hear the sound of the tires rubbing against the ice.

If there is a "Nature Awe Value Ranking List", then among the top ten people on the list, there is definitely a rally driver.

What is the scariest thing when rushing off the track, is hitting a tree?hit the wall?Hit the mountain?

The most frightening thing is that nothing can hit.

This is the case with the Changbai Mountain Tianchi main peak stage. If you rush out of the track here, there is a high probability that you will not be able to hit anything, and you will directly perform a 1-minute start roll.

And the "track" in a rally is just an uphill road pointed out to you by the race party.

"pretty."

"Award."

Perfectly drifting back and forth, under the interference of lateral dense fog and airflow, on icy and snowy roads, it is really not an award.

A driver like Xia Qianshen, whose courage and skill go hand in hand, deserves to be rated as "born for the track" by the industry.

Vulgar, but nothing could be more appropriate.

-

Send 65 vehicles from Erdaobaihe Town to Changbai Mountain.

After SS1 and SS2 ultra-short gravel road, the remaining vehicles are 59; after SS3 and SS4 west slope, the remaining vehicles are 24; after SS5 Tianchi main peak, the remaining vehicles... 10.

14 cars withdrew from the race at the Tianchi stage, some of which were seriously damaged, and some of which were agreed by the navigator and the driver and decided not to take risks in bad weather.

The Changbai Mountain Ice and Snow Rally is the first stop of this year's season. The top ten players get points at the site. Many people decide to give up. Most of them think that the points can be chased later.

So it's very subtle, it just so happened that the ten cars that completed the race all got points.

Sometimes things are like this, bite the bullet and stick to it, and you win.

This is also one of the reasons why Xia Qianchen likes rally races. It is one of the few things in the world where there is a real probability that the saying "persevere to the end is victory".

Because there are many stages, those strong opponents, those racers who have won some awards, just lack a little perseverance.In a rally, "persevering to the end" may really be a real "victory" rather than a spiritual victory.

After crossing the finish line, Xia Qian tilted her head, and the two sweaty people looked at each other and smiled at minus [-] degrees.

"It's okay." Xia Qianchen said.

"More than that." Zhong Su replied.

The award ceremony was in Erdaobaihe Town, but for them, the scenery in front of them was the reward.

Xia Qianshen took off his helmet and headgear, and went to the front of the car with Zhong Su to exchange fists.

The Changbai Mountain in the deep winter is very beautiful, and there is a tacit understanding. Neither of them took pictures.Just standing on the ground mixed with snow and mud, looking at the Tianchi Lake and the ridge in the distance.

The spectacle of rime is only normal here. The air on the top of the mountain is very cold, and the frequency of the two people's breathing is about the same. When they exhale at the same time, they exhale a mouthful of white mist.

After standing so stupidly for a while, Xia Qianchen said, "It's so cold."

"Let's go." Zhong Su patted him on the back, "Going back."

Xia Qianchen turned around, patted the dirt on the hood of the racing car, and looked at it tenderly.

"When the car started, you said...the parts that Dagong replaced for this car were all leftovers from the scrapped car I drove before?"

Zhong Su followed and hummed, "Don't dare to install new accessories rashly, the road conditions are too complicated, and..." The navigator didn't have racing gloves, Zhong Su bent down, and put his palm on the hood that hadn't cooled down, "Do you believe machines have souls?"

This is a very second-year question, and it is asked to young people who are very second-year-old.

Xia Qian smiled suddenly, "If you ask me this question, I will answer you very firmly. Machines must have souls."

"So what about you at the age of 22?" Zhong Su asked.

The young man wore a nice smile, "I will tell you more firmly that machines have souls."

The first stop of the season ended successfully. Car No. 07 is the site champion of this Changbai Mountain Ice and Snow Rally.

On the way back to Erdaobaihe Town, Xia Qianchen was driving the race team's road survey car, and Zhong Su was his co-pilot.

The other drivers were all leaning against the car and sleeping together, only Xia Qianchen, who was severely motion sick, drove the car himself.Zhong Su had nothing to do in the co-pilot, so he fiddled with the bluetooth of the central control, connected it to his mobile phone, searched for Xia Qianchen's BGM, and started playing it.

Xia Qianchen knew which song it was as soon as he heard the prelude, and smiled wryly, "What's the use of playing it now, and it's not on the track."

"Make it up." Zhong Su said.

The convoy went down the hill slowly, with the safety car leading the way ahead, they were in the middle of the convoy, just follow the car.

The sun was sinking in the middle of winter, and the night was driving them away from Changbai Mountain.

The two chatted in the car.

"So Director Xia doesn't like you driving a racing car very much." Zhong Su said, "Do you think it's too dangerous?"

"That's right." Xia Qianchen said, "She's a surgeon."

Zhong Su nodded, "Well, I understand."

Zhong Su swallowed the words "What does your father think?"

People have things that they don't want to talk about, and they don't want others to ask.Zhong Su didn't dodge it deliberately, but smiled, and continued, "By the way, when Director Xia bought that Taycan, didn't you stop her?"

"Don't mention it." Xia Qianchen's thoughts were immediately hooked, "At that time, my mother was going to buy a car, and I helped her choose a car for half a month. From performance, power and appearance, to cost performance, safety and fuel consumption, I recommended it to her. There were no less than ten models, and she finally bought a pure electric one, not even a hybrid!"

"Do you understand?" Xia Qianchen asked.

"You understand?" Xia Qianchen asked.

"Can you understand?" Xia Qianchen continued to ask.

Zhong Su nodded heavily, and said with a smile, "Yes, but it's about environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction."

After all, he is a doctor, so Zhong Subao has a very high respect for such a profession.

"But..." Xia Qianchen held the steering wheel with his left hand, the road was easier to go, and the car in front accelerated, so he also moved into first gear with his right hand to follow the car, "But she chose the Porsche, and she actually chose the Taycan among the Porsches?"

For a racing driver, buying a Taycan in a Porsche is like walking into a McDonald's and ordering an apple slice.

"Taycan..." Zhong Su searched hard in his brain, what can be praised about this car, "I'm sorry."

Xia Qianchen lifted the hand holding the shift lever, "No, it's not your problem."

When we returned to Erdaobaihe Town, it was already dark.

It was the same hotel as when we came here. After parking the car and getting off, Zhong Su walked up to him, "Hug me, our first station champion."

Xia Qian sank under the street lamp, his eyelashes formed a beautiful fan-shaped shadow, falling on his snow-white lower eyelids.

Xia Qianchen walked over and hugged his navigator.
