This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 161: Paper from Ten Years Ago
Several fleet managers in Jingyun City cursed at each other for a while, and then nothing happened.

say what?
What else can be said?
Before coming here, everyone said that all the racing teams in Jingyun City would advance and retreat together. If you don’t go, I won’t go either. We will all work together on research and development, train drivers, and decide the winner in the third race.

And then?
So you're engaging in an arms race here?
A PPT tricked me into going to space, and I went up there, and now you're secretly buying a mecha?
"..."

Lu Yang looked around and saw that the auction had not started yet. He nudged the manager of Feijing next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"Didn't you guys at Feijing claim to have a new system that allows you to cumulatively accumulate skill power and significantly increase cornering speed?"

"We've even overhauled the mecha's architecture for this new system. How far have we progressed?"

On the other side, Rong Zheng's ears moved, and he shifted his attention over without making a sound.

Upon hearing this, Feijing's manager laughed and said confidently, "You'll know when we get to the competition. By then, our Liu Yu will probably scare you to death."

Then he lowered his head, turned around and asked, "Lu Yang, didn't you Chongguang say that you wanted to use the strengths of the veteran racing team and make breakthroughs in teamwork?"

"He also promised to make Zhou Yun lose everything he had. What happened?"

Rong Zheng's ears moved again.

"For commercial secrets like these, let's wait and see at the stadium. I hope you won't cry when Chongguang makes it to the provincial league."

"..."

Well, everyone understood it in an instant.

It's all a fucking scam. They haven't figured out anything at all. They're just trying to trick their opponents into increasing their investment!
day!
Why are you so cunning?
After a long silence, Lu Yang turned to look at Rong Zheng.

"You guys... by the way, you guys at Xinchiyue don't have anything new."

Rong Zheng nearly vomited blood. He rubbed his head and said stubbornly, "Don't think that just because Tan Tonglu is gone, we don't have anything new. See you on the field!"

"If your face wasn't so pale, I would really believe it."

Lu Yang smiled and then sighed.

"It's all that damn Zhou Yun's fault!"

"Yeah, if he hadn't dug a big hole and forced us to jump in, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"The established approach of the S4 was completely overturned by him. Now the teams are not only trying to take away funds and technology, but also R&D..."

Just then, a voice came from beside me.

"That's right. Forget about you, our convoy in the outer city is about to explode."

A team manager, a complete stranger, sat down. "Fuck! Those previous investors were so easy to fool. I'll come up with a few systems, some unique drivers and mechanics, and bang! I'll charge the money straight to your card."

"And now? After not seeing each other for a month, the first question the investor asks is, can your driver drift?"

"The second question is, do you have any technology similar to drifting?"

At this point, his expression became excited: "My mother gave birth to him! Where on earth did this car washer come from?"

Originally, after the S4 era came to an end, the talent system was established and all teams entered the 'Spring and Autumn' mode.

Everyone fought, competed, and deceived investors according to the norms set by the "Zhou Emperor".

What now?
In S7, Zhou Yun, the "overlord", showed up and everything went to pieces!
No morals at all!

After a few excited conversations, they discovered that the arms race initiated by Zhou Yun had spread to Cainan Province and even radiated to the world.

In the information age, the changes that can occur are exponentially greater than those in ancient times, and three months would be too long for the times to change.

The era of deceiving investors with just PPT is over.

It's over!
"Once you enter this cycle of reincarnation, don't even think about achieving nirvana easily."

Lu Yang sighed. For fleet managers, it was clear that it would become increasingly difficult to survive in this industry.

Managers and drivers who fail to innovate will have to go hungry.

Then he turned his gaze and suddenly found that Yin Ling and Feng Ying from Yun Yi's team were already in position, so he gently nudged Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng glanced over with a stern expression.

Why are you guys also secretly buying mecha girls?

"Haven't they hit a bottleneck in R&D and run out of funds?"

"yes……"

Several people looked at each other, and fire flashed in their eyes.

Good guy!
So you are also using the arms race tactics to deceive us?
Several people's faces brightened, and after looking at each other, they all reached a tacit understanding.

The convoy in the outer city was stunned for a moment, then understood the intention and took out their cell phones to start sending group messages.

"No matter what the Yun Yi team wants to do, they will be skinned alive."

……

On a sunny day in Cainan in May, the sky looked like a burning ice cube.

It can relieve both internal heat and external water.

After training for a while, Zhou Yun was soaked all over. After wiping the sweat off with a towel, he found Manager Ye.

"I don't know how Yin Ling and Feng Ying are doing."

Manager Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will be fine. Even though they usually make a lot of noise, they are still very capable in doing things."

Zhou Yun nodded, then said, "Old Ye, my operation should be fine, but the Jackdaw's stability system just crashed..."

If Feng hadn't created a system before the game, he would have to rely on operations to make up for Jackdaw's shortcomings.

The main problem with the Jackdaw was that the inertia generated at the moment of cornering exceeded the carrying capacity of the kinetic stabilization system, causing it to collapse.

It's like a cup that can hold 300 ml is filled with 19000 ml of puffs in an instant. It would be strange if the cup doesn't explode.

Therefore, Zhou Yun broke down the details of drifting so that each injection could be digested by the cup.

The excess inertia is offset by [Gas Escape] which can forcibly stabilize the center of gravity.

This requires a lot of operation.

Manager Ye swiped his hand across the computer screen and said concisely, "There's nothing wrong with your operation. The problem lies with the talent rune."

"The [Gas Escape] talent has a 45 millisecond delay from the output of spiritual pressure to the stabilization of the center of gravity."

"You activated your skill too late. At that moment, the Jackdaw's inertia completely overflowed, ultimately causing the stabilization system to collapse."

"If we want to stabilize the Jackdaw's drift, we must first find a way to find that window of a few milliseconds..."

Zhou Yun looked at the data on the computer screen with a frown.

The millisecond-level micro-manipulation combined with the complex actual combat environment was a bit too much for him, even though he had been drifting since he was a child.

In the past, drifting felt like threading a needle in a few seconds, but now it feels like... completing a micro-carving in the eye of a needle in a few seconds.

The difficulty increased exponentially in an instant.

Old Ye sighed. This level of operation has exceeded human limits.

Zhou Yun nodded: "Okay, I understand."

It is indeed very difficult, but, JOJO, I am not a human being...

Just when he was about to act like a nobody, Feng came trotting over with a stack of information.

"Zhou Yun! Look! I found the path."

"Your Meteor can accumulate kinetic energy, and I think the stabilization system can do the same."

She said anxiously, "Accumulate kinetic energy normally, and when the jackdaw's inertia overflows, apply stronger suppression. Perhaps this can even enhance the acceleration effect of the talent imprint..."

"I was thinking about doing this, but I realized someone had already done something similar ten years ago."

After that, she handed Zhou Yun a paper on kinetic stabilization system.

Zhou Yun took the photocopied document and quickly scanned the text, realizing that this stranger was truly a prodigy. He could actually come up with such a bizarre trick, converting kinetic energy into a special kind of spiritual pressure, compressing it within a unique suspension system structure.

At critical moments, this structure can convert spiritual pressure into skill amplification.

"I think we can replicate his experiment. We just need to transfer the spiritual pressure back to the kinetic stabilization system, and the effect will be achieved!"

"Unfortunately, the suspension system he built was only halfway through, and a lot of the data was just guesswork. We have to rebuild it based on his stuff..."

Seeing Feng's incoherent speech, Zhou Yun put away the information and said, "Get to the point."

"..." Feng lowered his head and put down the information in his hand: "I have no money."

To reproduce this new suspension, hundreds of manufacturers would need to re-open molds and customize parts, and they would have to expedite production...it would cost a lot of money!
Feng's heart trembled constantly when he thought of the balance in the team's account.

"I, I..." Feng lowered his head: "I will plan carefully this time! I will take time out to work and subsidize the team, don't worry!"

Zhou Yun was stunned. The team’s funds were burned out so quickly?
"It's okay. Aren't we going to get 20% of the proceeds from the Mecha Girl Auction? Wait until Yin Ling and Feng Ying come back..."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The two little ones returned to the convoy with a head full of rotten vegetable leaves and depressed looks on their faces.

Seeing how depressed they both were, Zhou Yun's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that the psychopathic puppet was having another attack?

Are the promised funds gone just like that?
"Zhou Yun...wow..."

When Yinling saw Zhou Yun, tears suddenly flashed in the corners of her eyes, and then she threw herself into Feng's arms and burst into tears.

"what happened?"

"I, I just..."

On the other side, Feng Ying, who was still calm, narrated what had happened.

The two little ones went to WMC to collect money, and Ragdoll arranged a seat for them. They thought the sign on the seat looked good, so they just raised it casually.

Then a group of teams started bidding like crazy. The faster they raised their prices, the more excited the other party became.

It's like pulling out their spark plugs!
After the auction ended, Puppet announced that 20% of the proceeds from the auction would be donated to the Yunyi Racing Team.

Bupuupai also said that WMC has decided to give an additional 5% to the Yunyi team, and the bonus will be tax-free!
The two of them went up happily to receive the award and wanted to promote the Yunyi Racing Team... but then they were beaten!
Broken water bottles, shoes, pen holders, team nameplates, everything was thrown onto the stage!
Feng Ying wiped her tears, then put her hands behind her back, pinched the skin on her arms hard until it turned red, and held them in front of Feng.

"Sister Feng, look at what I've been beaten into. This is considered a work injury, right? I need compensation!"

"No...I...you..."

Zhou Yun didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that the sky was really blue, the clouds were really white, and his blood pressure was really high.

What are you holding up that auction sign for? Are you going to the auction?
After listening to Feng Ying's description, he immediately understood what had happened.

A group of teams thought they could snipe Yun Yi's team, so they raised the price desperately to block the "mecha girl that Yun Yi's team liked."

I'm sure everyone has gritted their teeth and shouted until their faces are red. Once people get angry, they would rather suffer losses themselves than let the other party have an easy time.

And just when they thought, "Although it cost a lot of money, we have stopped the Yun Yi team's plan"...

The two little ones said that they were not participating in the auction.

And the money you just spent has become the income of Yunyi Racing Team.

"..."

The feud with the various racing teams in Cainan Province has been completely resolved.

He suddenly got goose bumps all over his body and sneezed several times in succession.

"You guys are really great, let me see..."

Looking at the amount transferred by WMC, Zhou Yun touched Yinling's head with a smile.

"You two can go to the second auction. Don't worry, it's considered a work injury, so you can have whatever you want."

Oh my god! This wave really gave the team a new lease of life!
"Feng, we have money now. Burn it, keep burning it! Even if it's something from the lab, bring it back to me!"

Feng started calculating excitedly, then muttered to himself, "It would be great if I could find the person who provided this paper. I could ask him about a lot of the data in person."

Hearing Feng's words, Zhou Yun nodded. Indeed, the paper contained a lot of empirical content.

This is not something that can be determined by calculation. It would be best if we could find the author...

He suddenly thought of something, snatched the information from Feng's hand, and quickly scrolled to the end of the paper.

"October 2014, 10, Yan Jin."

Why does this name sound so familiar?
……

In the hospital.

The nurse changed a new bottle of saline and slowly left.

Yan Jin lay on the hospital bed, looking at the white ceiling, silent.

Zhao Lei's faint crying sound came from beside him, and on the other side, Luo Ying was also sighing continuously.

"Old scumbag, you...eh."

Yan Jin's lips turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "It's okay. There's no need to reminisce about me. Compared to the short lifespan of humans, you mecha girls should look towards the vast world."

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the two mecha girls trembled.

When Yan Jin was arrested, he had a cold, so the RCMP transferred him to the hospital for custody.

People, if you don’t go to the hospital for a check-up, there’s nothing wrong, but if you go for a check-up, you’ll be shocked.

Yan Jin, he... he is not sick!
"You're such a scumbag, how could you not have some kind of illness? Isn't it normal to be diagnosed with diabetes, kidney stones, and high blood pressure?"

Luoying was speechless: "If you're like this, even the doctor can't issue a certificate, how can you be released on medical parole?"

The hospital was speechless. If the two of them hadn't stopped Yan Jin from being discharged, they would have kicked him out long ago!
Zhao Lei, standing aside, felt as if something was stuck in his heart: "You wasted ten years looking for me. How many decades do you humans have?"

Yan Jin smiled softly at this: "Anyway, I've found it, so these ten years haven't been wasted, haha."

He took a deep breath, looked at the glucose and saline solution he had been injecting for several days, and laughed.

"The competition format this time is good. You won't be joining a bad team, and your future on the track is guaranteed."

"Run well, or my past ten years will have been wasted. When you win an award, I can brag to my fellow inmates."

Luoying wanted to say something, but received a text message from WMC.

"That perverted puppet wants us to report to WMC. Zhao Lei, let's go."

Zhao Lei looked at the hospital bed reluctantly, then turned and left with Luoying.

The ward became silent for a moment.

Yan Jin looked at the ceiling, memories of the past ten years flashing through his mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The high spirits of the S2 era, the highlights of the battle with Jiang Wuyang in the early S3 era...

Then the afterglow faded, leaving only debris on the ground.

Life is like a montage, randomly edited by a low-level B-level movie director, and driven step by step to the present moment by fate and one's own resentment of not admitting defeat.

"Where will you go next?"

Just then, a figure walked in.

"Young friend Yan Jin, do you still remember me? I once gave you some money..."

Yan Jin thought for a moment and said, "Chen Shanhe."

Chen Shanhe came to Yan Jin with a cane and said with a smile: "This time I came here to..."

At this moment, another voice came from outside the ward door: "Oh my god, Chen Shanhe, you came so quickly. Your Five Finger Mountain is not big, but it is really long."

Zhou Yun brought Feng into the ward with a smile.
