Chapter 208: New System Improvements

"4 points, 3 points."

Each dedicated track training ground has a set of large screens showing the scores of each team.

Yuan Kai, wearing a chef's apron, was stir-frying a plate of crayfish with a spatula while looking at the big screen showing the scores.

"It's almost been a week, and Han Yu's group has already scored 22 points, while we only have 19 points. That's pretty tough."

He took the crayfish out of the pot, poured a plate of soul sauce on it that made Qingluan, Yinling and Fengying drool, and said to the two main drivers with a frown.

"I don't care if you guys test the new brake system, but we can't lose our performance."

"The second stage finals will feature the asphalt section, the Great Wall track's floating spiritual pressure section, and the final downhill section..."

"Even if I finish first in both of the 23 laps, I can only take away a full 60 points. The rest can only be earned through daily training."

He pointed at the big screen with his rice spoon and said, "I can only decide 5 points at most. You have to work hard to break that record in the afternoon."

This is the model for the new stage.

The tracks at all training grounds are the same, with a special period from 12:00 to 1:00 every afternoon.

Racers can check yesterday's results on this track. What is measured is not the final result, but some pentagonal data or something like that. Once the result reaches a certain standard line, one point will be given.

Next, every time you refresh your previous record or make a breakthrough in a certain direction, you will get a bonus of 1 to 2 points.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun waved his hand: "Don't worry, let's solve the brake system problem first."

In preparation for the next competition, Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue worked out two combat plans.

One set is traditional, based on the combination of double drift flow and basic skills, with some violent speed-increasing or control-releasing stamps. Zhou Yunjiang Xiyue is No. 2 to each other, looking for opportunities to break through.

Just like what Jingyun City did in the second game.

The other set is based on new structures and new prints. With this set, Zhou Yun and Jiang Xiyue can be embedded in more gameplay.

But there is a prerequisite.

It was his newly modified brake system that at least could transmit spiritual pressure stably.

"The brake structure is mismatched. The braking distance has been reduced, but the efficiency of spiritual pressure output has also been reduced."

Zhou Yun glanced at the big screen, took off his helmet and racing suit, then sat down at the dining table nonchalantly, peeling the crayfish with gloves on while looking at the computer data beside him.

"The Jackdaw's braking process became a complete mess. It seemed like the brake pads had Guangyu's own skills, and the spiritual pressure was erratic."

"But I think this is more than just a brake problem."

He rubbed his brows and thought, the spiritual pressure structure of the mecha girl has always been a complex one.

Who would have thought that adjusting the brake system, mounted on the original spiritual pressure output system, would cause so many problems.

Jiang Xiyue also started to think, why was it okay for Qingluan to be mounted?
She compared the modification process of Qingluan and Jackdaw in her mind, and after eating three crayfish, she thought of the answer to the question.

"How about, Zhou Yun, let's try turning on Maple Mode again?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly packed all the data and sent it to Feng, then closed his eyes and rested.

With Maple Mode, there is no need to worry about modifications.

Hold a meeting once a day to keep your thoughts clear and organized.

[Feng, please help me take a look. This version was modified according to the ideas you gave me a few days ago. Why does the speed curve of the Jackdaw change so much?]

【Qingluan has no similar phenomenon at all.】

After a while, Feng's suggestions for improvement came back.

"Check carefully, where did you plug the brake line?"

"Reiatsu is not like the hydraulic lines of an ordinary car. It needs to transmit the force at each stage of the process before impacting the brake pads."

"Did you just stuff it in there randomly to compress the structure?"

Zhou Yun looked at Jackdaw with a blush, and then looked at the small section of red pipe exposed on the outside of Jackdaw's chest armor, and pushed it in with force.

"Forget it, I need to modify the chassis structure and adjust the roll cage."

"With the new steering system, Jackdaw has been complaining about the discomfort in the front."

"And me!" Qingluan glanced down at her chest, quickly raised her hands and said, "And me, it's so uncomfortable, it bumps around every time, Xiyue's face is red after driving..."

Xiyue immediately slapped her.

Spiritual connection is good, but use it with caution! Yes, I want to write this conclusion into the novel.

Hey, today's update is here.

"Yes, Zhou Yun, we want one too." Jiang Xiyue said with a smile.

Once the brake line problem is resolved, the two of them can set records and train new tactical systems.

Like... in a racing team, is this considered an onboarding training?

In short, after winning and going through another round of eliminations, Sister Ling Yu will be back.

"Okay, I'll contact Yunyu Machinery right away... Brother Lin seems to be cooperating with Jiuyuan recently, expanding a production line to produce some first aid equipment for mecha girls, to help Jiuyuan expand into the Cainan Province market."

Zhou Yun shook his head, a trace of apology flashing through his mind. Logically speaking, Brother Lin's factory was expanding again, and he should be the one to help, but there was nothing he could do.

"Then let's order from the nearest manufacturer. Let me see..."

Seeing this scene, Yuan Kai turned his head and looked at the scrapped brake systems and roll cages piled next to the racetrack, and a sigh arose in his heart.

"Even if you have money, you won't be in such trouble!"

"No, I mean, look at those chassis. They can be used by just modifying them with a welding torch. And look at those brake systems. They are all good systems!"

"Hasn't your Yunyi been established for just over three months? Where did you get so much money?"

"Such extravagance and waste, then I can take it back to our Aurora!"

Zhou Yun put down his computer and said with a smile, "Okay, Jiang Xiyue, how about we break their record this afternoon?"

At this time, Jiang Xiyue had a mouth full of spicy crayfish. When she heard Zhou Yun's words, she was about to speak but almost spit it out.

"Hmm...mmmm."

Yuan Kai smiled in his heart. What made him feel emotional was not that Zhou Yun was willing to spend so much money to transform the mecha girl.

Instead, the small team, which had just been established, was able to withstand so much pressure in the early stages and gave all its resources to the drivers.

"It's outrageous."

……

“That’s outrageous!”

Bi Chen was numb when he saw the spare parts scattered on the training ground.

"You spent all your savings and borrowed so much money, just to beat Zhou Yun by one second in operation time?"

Han Yu was holding an Xbox controller in his left hand, a PS5 controller in his right hand, and an NFS console hanging around his neck. He was trying out the feel of each one. After hearing Bi Chen's words, he was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"One second, isn't that enough?"

How many racing drivers have failed because of this 1 second?

Bi Chen didn't know why he was angry, but he was so angry that he kept scratching his head.

"Crazy Han, you are not really crazy!"

"Then let me ask you, what will you do if you lose? How are you going to play the next game? How many games are you going to play to pay off your debt?"

Han Yu said helplessly, "I have no choice. Kunlun thinks my modification suggestion is too outrageous, and the manager is holding back on the approval."

At this point, he spread his hands and said, "I can only do it myself. And I think I might beat Zhou Yun by more than a second."

By upgrading the steering system and operating system, we can optimize a better spiritual pressure drift structure.

As long as we can optimize a better spiritual pressure drift structure, make use of his exclusive skills, the passive talents of the mecha girl, and add some stacking talents.

Zhou Yun gave him a lot of ideas. As long as his hardware can keep up, he has enough confidence to compete with Zhou Yun in hard driving skills on the track!

"Bi Chen, aren't you excited to be faster than your idol?"

Bi Chen was speechless. "Aren't you still stuck on progress? Before S4, there were so many people working on racing car structure research and development. Why are there only a few left now?"

"Isn't it just a waste of time and effort and still useless? You have to convert the mecha girl's steering system into electrical signals, and then convert the electrical signals from your controller into signals that the mecha girl can recognize..."

At this point, Bi Chen spread his fingers and counted: "Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy, then converted into spiritual pressure and mechanical mixture, and then converted into tire friction... Forget it, I won't say more."

"If you ask me, you should just buy some electrodes and stick them on the phone. If you turn left, it will turn on the left side, and if you turn right, it will turn on the right side..."

Hearing this amazing solution, Han Yu was dumbfounded: "Then Liuhua will definitely kill me."

"You know it's unreliable! What if you're not afraid of failure?"

"I..." Han Yu wanted to say a few more words, but Ye Qing's voice came from behind him.

"I strongly advise against doing this. Researching new car structures is great, but if you gamble everything on it, it can easily lead to problems."

Ye Qing just wandered around (near the Yunyue Group), hoping to find some clues and guess Zhou Yun's solution.

But as he guessed, he suddenly found that he was a little envious of Zhou Yun's life.

It’s great to be able to focus solely on racing without being distracted by other things.

"Brother Ye, isn't that what racing is all about? Giving it your all and fighting for a future on the track?"

Bi Chen laughed bitterly: "Oh my god, Crazy Han, that's just talk, just talk!"

Ye Qing also laughed bitterly: "If you do this, you will lose money on the number of accessories, but in fact, you will also lose a lot of sunk costs. If you do this, you must win."

"Otherwise, the vicious cycle of debt that follows will drag you into the abyss for a long time..."

Having said that, Ye Qing looked at Han Yu and was slightly stunned. That was not the look of an ordinary racing driver at all.

Some people pursue stability, some people pursue victory.

And he is essentially pursuing victory.

"Han Yu, consider it a loan from me. You can replace the ones you owe first, and then I'll pay for the rest of the modification fee. We are a team and should work together."

The reason why he said borrow was that he was afraid that Han Yu would have a psychological burden and affect the subsequent games.

"Let's stick to the original plan. Before the real competition begins, we need to at least get our daily points above 70. You and I will work on this together tonight."

"Even Zhou Yun modified the steering system, so why shouldn't we? Let's see how much your new system can improve."

Looking at Ye Qing's gaze, Han Yu took a deep breath and became a little excited.

With the help of this great god, I wonder how far the new steering system will go?

Thinking of this, his legs went weak and he staggered. Ye Qing and Bi Chen quickly supported him.

"Is everything okay?"

"It's okay." Han Yu smiled. He had been working so hard to make money recently that he almost died of exhaustion.

"Bi Chen, let's start scoring points."

……

A quiet afternoon.

When all the drivers began to use their best conditions again and again on the track to break yesterday's results, Jiang Wuyang came to the rooftop of the Light Year Base.

He felt the biting wind and tried to focus on the car again, but his thoughts were a little confused.

Chen Shuo gave him a plan that looked very good, which put him in a dilemma.

Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky at noon, he felt as if a sharp sword was stabbing into his chest. He finally made up his mind and answered the phone again.

"Chen Shuo, you are serious, right? Do you think I can agree to your plan?"

Looking at the PDF sent by Jiang Wuyang on his mobile phone, he almost laughed out of anger.

"The drivers themselves are already suffocating because of all those agreements you signed!"

"You're going to increase the stakes now? You're going to have them reorganize into a fleet and go to the southern vegetable markets?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Shuo quickly said, "It's not a grocery store, it's advertising for our partners, or even a performance, and it's also an exploration of new market development."

As he spoke, he cursed madly in his heart.

Nimbus is a listed company! Trying to undermine shareholder confidence is like courting death.

If it weren't for reassuring shareholders, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a big plan.

However, if it can be implemented smoothly, all our dreams can come true.

But then, fearing that Jiang Wuyang would refuse, he quickly said, "Wuyang, I know you too. The drivers transferred this time are the ones you hate the most, you know."

Wu Yang sneered when he heard this: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. We have done it with the Light Wheel, so will the other teams do it?"

"How many negative examples have we at Nimbus created? Do you really think it's possible?"

"Chen Shuo, if these drivers weren't funded by their backers, I really wanted to kill them all at once..."

What Wu Yang didn't expect was that Chen Shuo on the opposite side suddenly exploded.

"Wuyang, do you think I don't want to get rid of these drunkards, drunkards, and this bunch of borers?"

"Don't I want to? Every time the budget is distributed, how much kickbacks are taken by these grandsons? But there's nothing I can do. You understand it, so why can't I understand it?"

"Do you really think I'm this old enough to be willing to come and beg you to come?"

Chen Shuo's tone became more and more excited: "Do you know the opportunity for the next wave of development of this light wheel?"

"Don't you just want the Light Wheel to follow the normal development path of the racing team?"

"Don't you just want to make Nimbus the largest driver training base in the country?"

"Okay, let me ask you, what do you need to achieve this?"

Before Jiang Wuyang could answer, Chen Shuo continued, "Let's not talk about money. Everyone needs it. What we need most is a platform. The platform is not that big. We can't build a talent discovery system."

“Even if we discover it, we can’t cultivate it because we need to build a complete system, just like the system architecture you are working on.”

"We are now in the process of expanding our circle and building a foundation. If we want to realize our dream, we have to bring these people in first."

"Once they have expanded our circle, we can choose how to develop..."

Before Chen Shuo could finish speaking, Jiang Wuyang hung up the phone.

Chen Shuo was so angry that he wanted to throw his phone. Why are you throwing a tantrum at a time like this? Do you know how serious the crisis you've caused is?
Otherwise, would I be so shameless as to come and beg you?

There is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of you now, don’t you want it?
In one breath, you can really stick the plate to the south. After doing all this, you can get what you want immediately!

All you need to do is nod and get people moving!
He lowered his head, looked at the plan in his hand that still smelled of ink, took a deep breath, and called back again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable..."

Okay, blocked him.

Then, he received a text message on his phone.

[Chen Shuo, just lie to yourself, don’t lie to me]

[If your plan succeeds, this evil fruit will grow into a towering tree in the Light Wheel. The Light Wheel depends on it for survival, but it will also constantly suck its blood away.]

"By then, you'll talk about change? Is it possible? Yes, you'll dig out the drivers, but they'll be no different from the silverfish you're scolding."

[When everything becomes critical and changes are necessary, will you push this ginseng fruit tree?]

How to push it?

……

"Original intention, this is an idea, but also a path, Shuozi."

After putting away his phone, Jiang Wuyang laughed, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer in his mind.

In the process of realizing its dream, the Light Wheel was transformed step by step into its current form.

So we must make this Light Year Project a success, we must.

This is what the racing world needs and what he wants.

On the other side, Chen Shuo put down his phone, took several deep breaths, and called his secretary.

Wuyang, do you know that the light wheel is on the edge of the cliff now?

Because all along, you have been like a nail piercing my aorta, making it difficult for me to breathe!
Like a dead tree, it looks big, but in fact it has lost the ability to thrive.

"Mr. Chen, you called me?"

"Hold a shareholders' meeting. I am willing to sign a bet agreement to facilitate this project."

After saying that, Chen Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.

Wu Yang, perhaps you think this is a conflict between partners, a clash of ideologies between friends...

But this time, not.

"Without motivation, just the original intention, the engine won't go far, Wuyang."
