Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"No way, he really won the championship?"

"Hurricane X's debut was the pinnacle. Mr. Chen and his team really gave us a big job this time. It's a bit too awesome!"

"For a supercar, it is the best launch to beat top supercars such as Ferrari, Maserati and McLaren in the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix!"

"If you don't move, you'll be amazing. Hurricane X is really far ahead this time!"

"I've been watching the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix for ten years, but this is the first time I've seen top sports cars like Ferrari and McLaren blow up. The pressure that the Hurricane X puts on other drivers is probably unimaginable."

As Hurricane X crossed the finish line and won the championship, the comments in the live broadcast room in Dragon Country instantly surged to millions. No one expected that the competition and supercar that Chen Xing mentioned at the launch of the Pilot 001 car would come so soon.

For a supercar, no matter how fantastic your introduction is or how far ahead it is, it is not as good as running a few laps on the track.

A supercar is different from a sedan in that it is designed for racing.

Why does Ferrari dare to impose purchase restrictions?
Why can't Lamborghini, Maserati and McLaren impose purchase restrictions?

Very simple.

Ferrari's performance on the track was too dazzling.

When thinking of racing cars, 99% of the world's people will think of Ferrari first. It has also become the representative brand of super sports cars and is sought after all over the world.

Far away at the Ford headquarters in the United States, Ford Johnson, the actual person in power, had an incredible look on his face. He had never thought that Dragon Country's sports car could actually crush Ferrari in terms of performance and even blow up its engine.

"2.37- acceleration in seconds. Holy shit, who is the manufacturer of Hurricane X? Does Dragon State have such a car company?"

The information he has now is that Longguo’s car companies are all working on new energy vehicles and have even developed solid-state batteries, but he has never heard of anyone working on a super sports car!

"Could it be the manufacturer of the Pilot?" Lamar Cabezas, the second-in-command of the Ford Group, speculated.

He vaguely remembered that Chen Xing said more than a month ago that he wanted to enter the supercar field, but he really didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Longxing Heavy Industry?"

Ford Johnson's eyes flashed with solemnity.

Lamar Cabezas nodded and responded quickly, "That's it. It's a joint venture between Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company. It's the manufacturer of Pilot Cars."

Just after he finished speaking, he added: "At the last launch of the Pilot 001, Longxing Group's CEO Chen Xing mentioned supercars. And among the current car companies in Longguo, it seems that only Longxing Heavy Industry has the ability to build a supercar."

"Chen Xing..."

Ford Johnson muttered to himself and took a sip of the coffee in front of him. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

After dozens of seconds, he looked at Lamar Cabezas and said:
"That's not right. It's been less than two months since the launch of the Pilot 001. Assuming that the Hurricane X is still in the final testing, why didn't Chen Xing wait a little longer and announce the two models at the launch conference at the same time? Why did he go to such great lengths?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of contempt flashed in the depths of Lamar Cabezas' pupils. He really didn't know what was going on in Ford Johnson's brain. He couldn't even figure this out.

However, when he thought of Ford Johnson's father and the development history of Ford Motor Company, he felt relieved.

The reason why Ford Motor Company is a household name is not because of the talent of its helmsman, but it is entirely due to its previous technological accumulation.

to be honest.

It's just living off the past.

If Ford Johnson's father had been wiser, Ford's popularity and sales could have doubled when it acquired Ferrari.

Although Ford Johnson was a bit stupid, Lamar Cabezas remained calm and patiently explained to him:
"For a super sports car, it is useless to have a press conference with exaggerated statements. This type of vehicle must speak with its racing results. In other words, participating in global racing competitions is its exclusive press conference."

"you're right."

Ford Johnson nodded slightly, agreeing with Lamar Cabezas.

He may not be a qualified car manufacturer, but he is definitely a qualified capitalist, because during his tenure, Ford Group's market value not only doubled, but its business scope also expanded from automobiles to transportation and credit.

"The engine blew up during the race, and I don't know what's going on with Ferrari."

Hurricane X has blown up supercars such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Maserati, but Ford Group is still relatively calm at the moment. After all, it has not achieved much recently, so if it loses, it loses.

But it is different for the Ferrari Group, which regards racing results as its life. If Ferrari loses its dominance in the race, it may be abandoned by the market in an instant.

Success is due to competition.

Defeat may also be a game.

After learning that the Ferrari XXK had a blown cylinder and the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix in Germany had become the solo stage for Hurricane X, Piero Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari's biological son, and the successor of the Ferrari Group, immediately rushed back to the company and held a remote video accountability meeting.

“Why did it explode?”

Piero Ferrari suppressed his anger.

Anduin Cooley, the team leader in Berlin, Germany, responded tremblingly: "The temperature of the water tank was too high, and the engine could not be cooled down in time, and finally a failure occurred."

“Why is the water tank temperature too high?”

Piero Ferrari asked again.

He personally supervised the construction of the Ferrari XXK, which was called the "Red Lightning" that amazed the whole world. However, it exploded on its first appearance. He is very angry now!

"Engine speed too high..."

Anduin Cooley lowered his head silently.

Not only him, everyone in the Ferrari team lowered their heads and accepted the lecture from the headquarters.

"Engine temperature is too high..."

"Engine temperature is too high..."

"hehe!"

"It turned out that the engine temperature was too high..."

Piero Ferrari was so angry that he laughed. There was only one situation that could cause the Ferrari XXK engine to overheat, explode, and leak oil, and that was the driver's control problem.

If you step on the accelerator too hard and don't know how to control the temperature, the aerospace engine will explode!

"Where's Maxime Rossi?"

"He's being interviewed."

"Go check his bank statements. If you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately. I will make him pay the price."

Piero Ferrari said viciously.

He now seriously suspected that Maxime Rossi had accepted a bribe, otherwise, with the seven-time champion's top vehicle temperature control technology, it would be impossible for him to cause the engine to explode.

And on the other side.

FIA GT Grand Prix interview booth.

As the driver of Hurricane X, Zhou Yu of MVP Team is no longer ignored by the media. Instead, he is being hailed as the moon by reporters all over the world, with the flash lights hardly stopping for even a second.

Kardashian Lilith, the official media of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, held the microphone and looked at Zhou Yu with a smile:

“Congratulations to the MVP team for winning the first five points in the 2016 FIA GT Grand Prix. Congratulations to Zhou Yu for crossing the finish line with an absolute advantage. Can you share your feelings at this moment with our audience?”

"Thank you!"

Zhou Yu first thanked them, and then turned to the camera and said what he was thinking: "I can't express how I feel right now. I am extremely excited and thrilled."

"This race means a lot to me, the team behind me, and the country I represent. It is not only a victory, but also a recognition of Longguo Team and Longguo Automobile. It is also the best proof of my hard training for countless days and nights in the past."

"Clap clap-"

There was applause at the scene.

The Longguo team, Longguo drivers and Longguo cars are too unfamiliar.

Throughout the past 20 years of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, there has never been a team or driver from the Dragon Country, and the Dragon Country's car brands are even more unfamiliar.

Zhou Yu, MVP Racing and Hurricane X are all "new" to the whole world.

When the applause died down, Kardashian Lilith continued to ask: "During the race, we saw that you have been in the lead, especially at the start, you ran a 2.37- acceleration of seconds. Can you talk about how you gained the advantage at the start?"

"As you can see, by the car."

Zhou Yu smiled calmly.

He wasn't so arrogant as to take credit for the 0-100 acceleration. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kardashian Lilith wanted to bring the topic back to Hurricane X.

As expected, after Zhou Yu finished talking about the car, Kardashian Lilith immediately asked: "Can you tell me the manufacturer of Hurricane X?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly added: "We are all curious about what kind of car manufacturer can build such a perfect and high-performance supercar."

"of course can."

Zhou Yu smiled and continued, "The manufacturer of Hurricane X is Longxing Heavy Industry, a joint venture between Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company. It is also one of the few electric-powered car manufacturers in the world and is very powerful."

"Electrical power?"

Kardashian Lilith is a little confused.

"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded and responded: "Hurricane X is also an electric-powered car, but in our Dragon Country, it is called a new energy car, which is synonymous with green and environmental protection."

When this statement was made, the media interviewing the event, as well as the audience watching the live broadcast, were all shocked and began to discuss the matter.

"New energy vehicles? Electricity-driven vehicles? Isn't this the Tesla of the United States?"

"Oh my god, electric cars actually outperform fuel-powered cars. Oh my god, did I hear that right? The Hurricane X is actually an electric car!"

“Incredible, is a technological revolution in the automotive field coming?”

"It's green and environmentally friendly. I admit that I'm tempted. I don't know how much the Hurricane X will cost. If it's under 500 million US dollars, I will consider buying one for my collection."

I thought they were all fuel-powered cars, but I didn't expect them to be electric cars.

Kardashian Lilith was originally thinking about asking how many cylinders the engine had, which could actually blow up a Ferrari XXK, but now the rhythm of her questions was completely disrupted.

But as a professional journalist, she suddenly thought of a question and asked humbly: "So it doesn't have an engine?"

"There is no engine, it is powered by three 3.7 rpm electric motors."

"Three motors? Does that count as three engines?"

"You could put it that way."

"Wow—"

There was an uproar at the scene.

They finally understood why the Hurricane X could accelerate from 2.37 to km/h in seconds, and why it could outperform the Ferrari in a straight line. It turned out that it had three "engines" to provide power output. It was not unfair for the Ferrari to lose. "You just said it was pure electric, so what is its range..."

"2000 kilometers."

"Wow, 2000 kilometers?"

"Yes, 2000 kilometers."

Zhou Yu nodded and responded: "Because I am not a car manufacturer, I can't give you detailed data. I only know that the pure electric range of this super sports car is 2000 kilometers."

"The cars of Dragon Country are amazing." Kardashian Lilith couldn't help but admire.

She never expected that an electric car could have a range of 2000 kilometers. If it were a fuel car, how big would the fuel tank have to be?

In TikTok's FIA GT Grand Prix live broadcast room, overseas audiences went completely crazy, and the live broadcast room was filled with barrages.

"Oh my god, 2000 kilometers?"

"Has the outside world become like this? Why should we still pay for a fuel car with a range of 500 kilometers?"

"I feel like we have been deceived. Longguo Automobile is No. 1. The media has deceived us. I want to buy Longguo's new energy vehicles!"

"Green, environmentally friendly, and with a long battery life, this is simply a product of God's revelation. Can anyone tell me how to place an order for a Hurricane X?"

"My middle brother told me it needed a Hurricane X to pick up girls, and I swear to God I wasn't kidding!"

When the online and offline audiences were discussing heatedly, the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted and the live broadcast room returned to the desktop.

"what happened?"

The TikTok staff in charge of the broadcast was stunned and hurriedly tried to connect to the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix broadcast channel again, but found that there was no signal.

Then he quickly sought help from other departments and contacted the organizers of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix, but still no one responded.

"????"

"????"

"????"

The live broadcast room was filled with question marks.

No one knows why the live broadcast of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix was cut off.

It's not just TikTok. Germany's live broadcast channels, the United States' broadcast channels, and various live broadcast platforms in Dragon Country have all experienced signal interruptions, which is puzzling.

In an office in Germany, Sheru Mena, the organizer of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany, slammed the table and shouted:
"I will never invalidate the results of the MVP team. Car racing is pure. I will never agree to anything that wants to interfere with its fairness, no matter who you are."

"Why would you do that?"

The man sitting in the chair shook his head.

His name is Orenz Bond, and he is the president of the German Automobile Association.

Originally, he came here just to watch the race and cheered and applauded Hurricane X for winning the championship, but then a call from his superior forced him to talk to the person in charge of the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix and request that the results of this race be invalidated and the MVP team be disqualified from participating.

"As I said before, the competition is pure, and I will not destroy its fairness for the benefit of certain people."

"Hurricane X is an electric car, and we are racing with a fuel car, which does not conform to the rules."

"No no no."

Sheru Mena remained firm and argued: "The FIA ​​GT Grand Prix does not restrict the type of power a car can have. As long as you can drive the car at a speed of 250 mph, even a car that burns alcohol or coal can participate."

“It’s not fair that the car types are different.”

Orenz Bond also refused to give in.

The pressure he was under from above was hard for ordinary people to imagine. You have to know that automobiles are a pillar industry of Germany's economy. If something went wrong with it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You mean absolutely fair?"

Shelu Mena sneered and slammed the table again, saying, "There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Isn't it because the performance of the Ferrari team was far better than that of other cars that the Ferrari team won all the championships before? Should we also cancel its championship?"

“This is different.”

"What's the difference?"

"..."

Orenz Bond was silent.

The person he feared most was Sheru Mena, a famous car fanatic who never loved women or money, only cars, and he almost dedicated his entire life to cars.

After a moment of silence, Orenz Bond, seeing that he couldn't win the argument, chose to play dirty and slammed the table, saying, "I don't care anyway. The results of this competition will be cancelled. It's useless for you to object. I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion."

"I *your mother!"

While Sheru Maina was swearing, he also chose to use violence.

A fist as big as a sandbag hit Orenz Bond's face, and screams were heard. People outside were locked in the office and had no idea what was going on.

……

FIA GT Grand Prix interview booth.

Kardashian Lilith, Zhou Yu, and other reporters did not notice that the signal was cut off and continued the interview.

All the reporters at the venue, including the players from other teams, showed great interest in Hurricane X and also developed a yearning for Dragon Country.

They had also learned from books that Longguo was the only ancient country left in modern times and a superpower with an intact cultural heritage.

When something new appears in the culture and writing of other countries, new words need to be created for it.

However, the existing characters of Longguo only need to be reorganized to express the meaning.

For example, artificial intelligence, which has become very popular recently, has even been given a new word abroad, Artificial intelligence, or Ai for short. The cultural heritage of our country does not require the creation of new words; artificial intelligence can be used directly to clearly express its function and meaning.

This is a bit like movable type printing. If used flexibly, it can form countless sentences and perfectly express the meaning of new things.

After a full fifteen minutes of the interview, Kardashian Lilith stopped and asked the final question: "So what are your expectations and goals for the next game?"

Zhou Yu responded with a determined look, "I will continue to improve my driving skills and complete every race of this year's FIA GT Grand Prix with the Hurricane X. I will also promote Longguo cars and Longguo culture to the world."

“Thank you very much for sharing. We look forward to you bringing us more exciting competitions in the future. Congratulations again on winning the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix Germany Championship!”

Kardashian Lilith said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yu returned the gift politely.

After interviewing the championship-winning team, the highly-anticipated seven-time champion Maxime Rossi was also "besieged". Reporters are notoriously sharp-tongued and they always bring up things that are not relevant to the topic.

"Excuse me, Mr. Maxime Rossi, can you tell me the details of the Ferrari XXK's engine failure during the race?"

"This is the first time in Ferrari's history that the engine has exploded. Is it because of your improper operation?"

"Can you tell me what happened at that time?"

"After losing this race, will you retire, Mr. Maxime Rossi? Or will you insist on finishing the FIA ​​GT Grand Prix?"

Maxime Rossi's face turned pale as he listened to the questions. He had never thought that one day he would be in trouble.

However, in that situation, if he chose to release the accelerator, he might not be able to see the taillights of the Hurricane X.

Yes!

No tail lights in sight!
His pride would not allow him to be crushed, and at that moment he had only one thought in mind, which was to speed up, speed up, and speed up again.

Also because of excessive acceleration and lack of consideration for temperature control, the engine eventually reached its endurance limit and completely broke down on the track.

Maxime Rossi remained silent.

The same is true for Geller Glover.

The two of them have won at least 1000 championships in various racing competitions, if not 800, but they never expected that one day they would be ruthlessly crushed in a race.

The most important thing is not the driving skills being crushed, but the vehicle performance.

The scene of Hurricane X accelerating was something they would never forget in their lifetime. It had become a nightmare in their hearts.

……

Chen Xing, who was far away in Longguo, saw his team win the championship and couldn't help but share it with Lei Jun and Ren Guofei via WeChat and phone: "This time, our Longguo Automobile brand has been promoted."

As early as four months ago, Linghang 001 entered the road testing stage.

At that time, Chief Hua Ming was only studying one thing, which was how to manufacture a super sports car and make the Longguo brand appear in the world's vision.

Whether it is Ford, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari or McLaren, they spend a lot of money every year to support their racing teams for competitions, not for the prize money, but for their own popularity.

This is like paying for advertising, for example, investing in an NBA star and letting him wear your brand of shoes. If he performs well in the season, the shoe brand he endorses will naturally receive attention.

The same goes for investing in a fleet. As long as the fleet you invest in performs well, naturally, the audience will pay attention to the vehicle brand.

"Finally I've gotten rid of my anger. It's worth our hard work day and night."

Ren Guofei smiled.

"I have to say, Brother Chen, you are really far-sighted. New energy vehicles are indeed easier to manufacture than fuel vehicles. How does the saying go? The simplest way is the best." Lei Jun agreed with a smile.

The R&D plant of Linghang Automobile is in Fengtian City in the north, and Chen Xing is often in Shenzhen, so most of the time it is Lei Jun and Ren Guofei who are responsible for supervising the production of Linghang 001 and Hurricane X.

So far, everything seems to be going well.

The Pilot 001 is responsible for sales, and the Hurricane X is responsible for competition results. As long as they shine in their respective fields, this layout will be completely closed.

"The more complex the structure, the better it is. It's time to put some pressure on fuel vehicle designers. By the way, the L4 autonomous driving test has been completed, and I plan to update and launch it soon."

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Lei Jun couldn't help but tease: "Good fellow, are you going to wipe out Tesla?"

"It's cruel enough. I like it. Haha."

Ren Guofei laughed out loud.

Listening to the teasing and laughter of his two partners, Chen Xing also said in a teasing tone: "More than a hundred years ago, the West was able to knock open our door with black bricks. Now it's time for us to shake their economic foundations."
