This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 197 I don’t want to play anymore
The sunlight poured down on the hillside, casting a golden glow and forming a clear dividing line with the shadows.

The jackdaws flew on this dividing line, and with the aerial photography of the drone, they all entered the field of vision of the audience across the Internet.

But at this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the countdown in the lower right corner of the screen.

4 minutes 56 seconds.

5 minutes 08 seconds.

5 minutes 12 seconds...

The drivers started talking.

"This mountain road is so winding and full of potholes. I can't even find the racing line."

"As expected of Zhou Yun, he can reach such speeds on such a crappy track. But with such high-intensity drifting, can the tires keep up?"

"Look, it seems like he handled a few turns incorrectly."

"There's nothing we can do. Who would have thought there would be a tree root blocking the road behind the bend? If it got stuck on the tire, we'd be dead."

"If I were to start running blind, I definitely wouldn't be able to reach his level. He truly deserves to be the founder of the drifting genre..."

During the discussion and communication, the drivers suddenly discovered something.

"What did you say during the interview on the show? When they asked you who you'd most like to challenge?"

"I wanted to challenge the dog guarding the gate, but the damn tournament organizers asked me to repeat it."

"That's right. There are only two big characters on the inscription. Who else can he say?"

Although everyone understands that this is the operation of the program team, who want to add highlights to the program.

Trash talk before a match is a common occurrence, and the more vitriol the players exchange before a match, the higher the ratings.

But after experiencing a race on the Hot Wheels track, many drivers understand that it is extremely difficult to defeat this ruthless guy, and it is just a plea to satisfy their desire.

But now, they seem to see a glimmer of hope of winning.

"This is Zhou Yun's first time running, so he's been much more restrained, which is normal, but..."

"Yeah, my mechanic girl's skills can handle these corners better than his, with less tire wear."

"On the dirt road ahead, except for the sloped bend where you have to hold back, you can run freely on the rest of the road..."

When facing a strong enemy, people will feel tired and bored, leading to laziness.

No one can avoid it because it is biological instinct.

But it’s different if the opponent’s health bar is displayed!

Isn't it just Zhou Yun, the 'single player double champion in the first S-game', the '3000m cliff flying superman in Zongyun Mountain', the 'hundred-mile mountain road chasing souls in the dark night', and the 'death star that pierces the arena'?

Plate him!

"After defeating Zhou Yun today, I'm the most handsome guy in the village."

In the two-story building next to the starting platform is the location of the racing team. Jiang Wuyang sat in the monitoring room, looking at the expressions on the faces of the racers below, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

The kind that can't be contained.

Zhou Yun was grinding the tires, and you guys started... That's right, that's what you should do!

A racing driver must have a strong desire to win. A driver without this desire is not worth training.

Because of this, he agreed to the program team's approach, which was to arouse the drivers' desire to win.

Want to defeat Zhou Yun?

Then give me your 120% effort!
"Qingluan, look... uh, I forgot."

In such an exciting moment, it would be really awkward if there was no one to help.

But the first Lightyear Project was a success.

The Lightyear Project is not a basic training class for racing, so those who don't have the basic skills should go back and learn again, don't waste my resources.

The remaining drivers who have solid basics and excellent talents are the ones who need to be cultivated.

These drivers have to undergo high-intensity training and advanced courses. The courses are difficult and the training intensity is high, so we need to find a source of motivation to keep the drivers going.

Want to know why you lost to Zhou Yun in the first game?
You will know if you learn it?
While thinking, Zhou Yun had already driven the Jackdaw to the highest point of the mountain.

Jiang Wuyang took out a cigarette box from his pocket, but he felt that without his daughter and Qingluan, it would not be fun to smoke.

So he put down his cigarette and sighed.

"Sometimes, the difference between winning and losing happens to be just those two degrees of tire temperature."

The "Lightyear Project" flag on the top of the mountain fluttered in the wind, and beneath the flag was a biting frosty wind. The drivers all raised their heads and stared at the screen.

Jiang Xiyue raised her head and said to Qingluan with a smile, "Zhou Yun is about to charge."

……

The sky is very clear and blue, with pure white clouds floating in the sky.

From the aerial camera, the green grass in the distance looks like a painting, highlighting the purity of the mountains.

The sunlight penetrated the thin air, shone on the jackdaw, and scattered a colorful ring at the top of the windshield.

Without having time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the distance, Zhou Yun drove the Jackdaw violently down the mountain top.

"Tire temperature and pressure are normal..."

"Intake is normal, brake pads are 32% worn. Jackdaw, maintain the rear wing angle, the wind is coming."

"Ok!"

The jackdaw took a deep breath, bent down, felt the hungry engine, and pulled the kinetic energy output to the highest level.

At this time, she has completely adapted to the new steering system and will no longer interfere with Zhou Yun's operation.

Pull it all the way to 270 degrees, turn it halfway to 135 degrees, left, right, right...

She opened her spinning eyes and looked dazedly at the track passing by at high speed.

"Zhou Yun, why hasn't the wind come yet? Hey, why am I floating..."

"The wind has already come!"

Fierce boundary-breaking winds blew in from all directions, and after being compressed at high speed in the jackdaw's engine, they blew the frost away.

Then, this fierce gust of wind, under the effect of [Wind Style: Dust Realm], rolled up a series of wind nets, which followed the body and tail of the Jackdaw like the shock wave of a cannonball, blowing away the leaves on the surrounding trees.

By the time the tree realized that its leaves had been scattered by the wind, a thin layer of frost had covered its body, making it look very desolate.

???

Isn't it spring now?
When the shivering Mr. Tree came back to normal, the robot girl who had allowed him to experience the four seasons had disappeared, leaving behind two unforgettable footprints on the ground.

"what the hell!"

Bi Chen stared at Zhou Yun diving on the screen and was stunned for a moment.

The speed difference between going up and down the mountain is too great!

Although the speed of going up the mountain is also very fast, it cannot be compared with the speed of going down the mountain. Aren’t you afraid that the mecha girl will fly out at this speed?
"Zhou Yun, you are really playing with flowers."

Han Yu looked at the speed that suddenly burst out on the screen and laughed in his heart.

The tire temperature is not high enough, so the tire cannot soften. If it cannot soften, the friction is insufficient, so the braking point needs to be adjusted forward, using a longer braking distance to counteract the speed bonus of going downhill. If the braking distance is long, the speed cannot be increased...

If you want to maximize the speed advantage when going downhill, you need to warm up the tires in advance.

And it is not enough to just raise it a little bit, it has to be raised very high so as to counteract the drop in tire temperature during the uphill section.

In racing, details determine success or failure.

If you want a high final speed, you must make full preparations in the early stages.

"As expected of the Death Star."

Han Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. How high is the normal temperature of the tire? How much will the temperature drop when going up the mountain...

What kind of brain does this require to control it so perfectly?
His brain began to think about what tire temperature was needed before rushing up the mountain, what tire temperature was needed after going down the mountain, when to ensure the air intake of Liuhua, when to release the spiritual pressure skill... A series of charts flashed through his mind, and under Zhou Yun's guidance, he began to explore the secrets deep inside his driving skills.

"There are four bends. These four bends are as smooth as if they were covered with two kilograms of Dove cream."

Bi Chen took a deep breath. If it weren't for Zhou Yun's previous operation, he wouldn't have realized that there was such a big gap between drifts.

Before going up the mountain, he felt that Zhou Yun's drifting speed through corners was already top-notch.

After going down the mountain, he suddenly felt that his previous drifting was really rubbish...

"Eh? Han Yu, don't you know what Zhou Yun is doing? Tell me now! Damn, how did he get down the mountain so fast?"

Han Yu naturally would not miss such a pretentious moment. He cleared his cough and put on a lot of pretentiousness.

"Come, let me draw a turtle on your face, and I'll tell you."

You made me go on TV with panda eyes last night, right? Just wait and see if I’m going to give you a lesson!

"Hurry, hurry up, I just happen to have a pen here. Where's Liuhua? Help me hold him down!"

"Hey, wait, it was Liuhuati who drew your face yesterday..."

Before he could finish, Liuhua pushed him to the ground and took out a pen: "You are slandering me. I have no intention of drawing circles on other people's faces."

"Ahaha, let's watch the game."

With Zhou Yun's sudden burst of energy going down the mountain, most of the riders were stunned.

"???"

At this moment, they all recalled the fear of being dominated by Zhou Yun on the Hot Wheels track.

Child, run!

If the BOSS's health bar is gone, it's a scam!

They tricked us into giving it to us.

You still want to play like this?

For a moment, many drivers felt a little pain on their faces, as if Zhou Yun had slapped them from dozens of kilometers away.

"This speed down the mountain... How many skills are needed? At this speed, there's a high probability that we won't be able to finish on the podium."

"It's the sixth corner, and the exit speed on this road is extremely high..."

If you simply watch the race without any comparison, it is actually difficult to tell the speed of the car. Even professional racers will have some errors in capturing the speed.

But what’s infuriating is that the event team placed a display box next to the lower right corner of the screen, showing the telemetry data clearly.

enough!

Is there no room for imagination?

The drivers started talking about it. During the discussion, Zhou Yun had already driven the Jackdaw down the mountain, and after a flying slope, he crossed to the Kyoto highway.

"This wrench is really useful!"

Zhou Yun originally thought that when he rushed onto the highway, he would be able to reach a speed of about 255 kilometers per hour.

Although there is an acceleration effect when going downhill, it is still a mountain road with many bends. The real speed-up area is on the highway.

But unexpectedly, when rushing onto the highway, the speed reached 282!

Next is the highway acceleration zone. In this area, the faster the starting speed and the higher the top speed, the higher his score will be.

The speed difference is only 30 kilometers, but when it reaches the peak of acceleration, it may be able to accelerate to 1.5 times the expected speed!
You know, there is no speed limit for jackdaws!

And all this is because of the wrench in front of him.

After switching to a steering wheel, the operation time is shortened by half, and the gear position and handbrake can be controlled more effectively.

This means that when drifting through a corner, the Jackdaw can maintain a higher rotation speed, exit the corner faster, and the speed bonus of the ejection after the corner can be higher.

"This downhill road is really refreshing!"

No one could describe Zhou Yun's mood at this moment. Although he had a steering wheel in his previous life, he had no spiritual pressure to exert downward force, so he couldn't increase the speed of the car on the wild mountain road.

Although this world can increase the speed on mountain roads, it does not have a steering wheel.

Now, it's finally perfect!

Looking at the endless highway in front of him, Zhou Yun raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Jackdaw, you just keep going, I'll take a break."

Although this steering wheel is good, it is a bit tiring to turn it, like turning a millstone.

"Yeah." Jackdaw replied excitedly, "Don't worry, Zhou Yun. This is my favorite track!"

Dreaming back to the S1 test track.

The engine seemed to hear the cry in her heart and began to race violently.

In an instant, she rushed towards the end of the track like a high-speed armor-piercing bullet.

"..."

"..."

Compared to Zhou Yun's excitement, many drivers on the field seemed to have been struck by a "great silence spell", with not only their voices but also their movements being silent.

The whole scene was like a large-scale "statue" game. Lightyear planned to bring a big doll over so that they could cosplay the squid game.

"..."

Mom, I don’t want to play anymore.

In silence, Zhou Yun's speed continued to soar.

321...

342...

398...

The race came to 6 minutes and 42 seconds, with kilometers left to the end.

At this time, Jackdaw was unstoppable. With no speed limit, she had now reached the speed range of a C-class engine, and the championship position seemed to have been predetermined.

Looking at the silent faces of the drivers beside the starting grid, Jiang Wuyang suddenly slapped his head.

Omg!

Ruined.

What to do if the drivers are desperate?
……

PS: The average speed of a normal rally is around 160 kilometers per hour.

There are many reasons, such as the track is in the wild, the tires do not have enough grip, the friction coefficient cannot be increased, and the speed cannot be increased.

For example, rally racing is all about modifying family cars, and there are restrictions on engine output, etc...

(The former WRC Group B had no restrictions on modifications, but many drivers died, so there is no such competition now)
In the world of mecha girls, because of the existence of 'spiritual pressure', some friction is compensated, and they are all professional racing mecha girls, so the speed is faster.

With the D-level modification standard and the skill of speeding up, the average speed will reach about 220, which is only about 35% slower than on the track.

Everything is subject to the actual competition situation.

……

In this race, the early stages were on a dirt road with few bends. The roads in Kyoto are drier than those in Sainan, and the roads are like rammed earth, so the speed was only 10% slower than on the race track.

Next is the gravel section and the winding mountain section, where the speed will drop significantly.

But what follows is a downhill road and a long highway acceleration zone, where the average speed is probably close to the track limit.

So in actual racing conditions, the average speed of this race will be between 270 and 290. The limit of 10 minutes given by the event group is an extreme standard for an average speed of 288, which will pick out outstanding drivers.

The author is not a data expert, so just enjoy reading it.
