Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 163: The Return of a Huge Investment (1w2)

To Beiyuan, Zhou Ri Ningjing's last words seemed like a flag. A simple and honest gentleman is not an opponent who can be defeated easily.

However, Zhou Ri Ningjing must be very clear about this matter. Since she said that, Bei Yuan had no way to persuade her anymore.

If we continue talking about this, we might end up spoiling the results of next year’s American Triple Crown.

And Ning Jing didn't intend to say anything more on Sunday. After "setting" the flag, she shouted to the person behind her.

"Hey, old man, haven't you finished taking the quick-acting heart pills yet?"

"...I've told you so many times that you haven't pissed me off to that extent yet!"

After a resentful complaint, Rokuhei Ginjiro's frowning face soon appeared in front of the screen. Zhou Ri Ningjing also waved to Kitahara, made a "byebye" mouth shape, turned and left the screen, and no one knew what he was doing.

"Alas, this troublesome child..."

Holding the phone, he shook his head and complained. Rokuhei Ginjiro glared at him and said, "You are exactly the same as you were back then! I am so pissed off!"

...No, it's not me who is angry with you right now, why are you taking it out on me?
Beiyuan felt that he was somewhat innocent and was about to explain himself when the other party became serious again.

"Okay, what I want to say is what Ningjing just told you."

The expression on the other end of the video was very serious, and the tone was also, "I know you may not believe that you can see the talent of horse girls. After all, it is a bit unbelievable."

“I was also surprised at first, but soon the child proved it to me.”

"Like the junior she just mentioned, I went to see her on purpose. That kid is called Shenying. Just like Ning Jing said, she is an extremely talented horse racing girl."

"I have also persuaded her parents, but the situation in the United States is indeed different from that in Japan. They don't interfere with their children's choices. We can only go with the flow."

"Anyway, you have to take what Ningjing said to heart. You have to work harder on training with Oguruma and the others from now on."

"Especially the three of them, Little Kurimao, Little Bay, and Aldan."

A solemn and somewhat heavy expression appeared on Rokuhei Ginjiro's wrinkled face.

"After all, their next match is known as Japan's No. 1 match, the Japan Derby."

Hearing this, Beiyuan no longer had any intention to distinguish what was going on. Like his uncle, his expression gradually became solemn.

"I understand, uncle." This time, he didn't call him "Sixth Uncle" as a joke.

"Well, I know you'll understand."

Rokuhei Ginjiro nodded heavily, "Let's give them a Japanese derby without any regrets."

"For horse racing ladies, it's not like they can run whenever they want and race whenever they want."

...Can't you run whenever you want to, and compete whenever you want to...?
Uncle, what is this... ?
After hesitating for a while, Kitahara couldn't help but wonder if his uncle was thinking about something regretful, which led to such emotion.

Because of this hesitation, Kitahara was silent for a while, and this silence was taken as a tacit agreement by Rokuhei Ginjiro, so he nodded and said:

"Now that you have realized this, go and prepare well. Ningjing will also be undergoing training."

"I'll consider taking her back to watch the Japanese Derby."

I want to come back to watch the Japanese derby, uncle, you...

Beiyuan was very surprised and wondered whether this arrangement would affect Ningjing's training on Sunday.

But after Rokuhei Ginjiro finished speaking, he hung up the video call, so he had to suppress his thoughts and planned to find time to ask later.

The call was not short and the benefits were considerable.

The biggest gain was naturally the discovery of Zhou Ri Ning Jing's special abilities. That power obviously came from the three goddesses, which proved from an original perspective that there was no problem with his subsequent training arrangements.

From the time he came into contact with the field until now, especially after witnessing the power of the gods of this world with his own eyes before Gaoyue Shang, he now completely accepts this setting.

This does not mean that he began to believe in theology, but that he discovered that the theology of this world can be supported by science.

The progress of the characterization could have long been determined by analyzing the development of the horse girls, and now the field can also be analyzed in the same way. If we can have more contact with Zhou Ri Ning Jing, her "eye technique" will most likely be analyzed.

Under this premise, we can conduct multi-angle argumentation, which is an extremely beneficial discovery no matter how we look at it.

Then, the next step is to prepare for the Japan Derby with all my strength, just as my uncle said.

Secretly excited, Kitahara quickly looked at Oguruma and Tebie Zhou, mother and daughter.

While he was on the phone, someone on the other end was watching the post-match interview of the Emperor enjoying the spring.

Seeing this, he did not rush to ask them to leave, but watched the interview with them and waited for Winning Live.

As a G1 event and the earliest Emperor's Spring Viewing Event, the winner's stage this time will naturally be grand.

The huge stage background was at first dark and gloomy, as if the dead of winter had not yet passed.

In a flash, like the early spring breeze blowing open the earth, a ray of soft bright yellow light slowly fell, illuminating the three figures in the center of the stage.

The one with long silver-gray hair and the red, blue and white winning uniform is Tamamo Cross in the center. To her left and right are the second and third place winners of the Emperor's Spring Appreciation, Inari Ichi and Free Run.

As the bright yellow light was cast, the three horse girls formed a formation, one in front, one on the left, and one on the right, and the light shining like spring thunder also flashed behind them.

The entire stage became bright, and the figures of more than a dozen horse racing ladies who participated in the Emperor's Spring Viewing appeared.

Behind them, as they raised their arms in unison, lights from the ten-meter-high sky gathered into the shape of cherry blossoms and slowly fell.

The cherry blossoms on both sides of the sky are like a curtain, and in the middle of the curtain is the Tamamo Cross with the arm slowly raised and the index finger pointing forward.

She grinned, revealing her signature little fangs, and sang with a slight Kansai accent, the lyrics of which were full of passion and upliftment.

"I will run forward with all my heart on this chosen path. I have made up my mind to stand at the top of the stage and run forward with all my strength."

The song is titled "Next Frontier".

The stage that can only be reached by the horse girl who is aiming for the top and running towards it with all her heart, the Next Frontier, the future frontier, is only open to the tireless conqueror. This is the meaning of this song.

Like the series of events, the Winning Live of the Shining Star Series also has a series of corresponding songs, and the songs used in different categories of events are not the same.

What is being displayed on the TV screen at this moment is the winning track of the Spring and Autumn Imperial Award and the Arima Kinen Exclusive.

Looking at the stage that looked like cherry blossoms scattered all over, and the horse racing girls who were full of youthful energy, Kitahara couldn't help but smile and wave his hands like Oguruma and the others who were beating the rhythm with cheering light sticks.

Kitahara still has a deep impression of the song "Next Frontier".

In order to unlock the winner's stage tracks in the game, you must win the corresponding competition. The 3200-meter Emperor Spring Viewing at the beginning of the game requires a lot of endurance to win, which is a big challenge when you first get started.

In particular, he likes to use Oguruma very much, and basically uses her to complete the development in the early stage.

In Ogurimō's Emperor's Spring Viewing, there must be a Tamamo Cross with maxed-out attributes and skills, which makes it even more difficult to unlock "Next Frontier" through Tenchun.

He didn't know how long it took other players to achieve this, but he had played more than ten rounds of development but still failed to defeat Tianchun by defeating Xiaolimao and unlocking this song.

In his opinion, the victory of Tenaki and Arima Kinen is different from that of Tenharu after all. Faced with such a "huge" threshold, the song after the hard-won victory seems extremely precious.

"The high-pitched sound of the horn is playing with overflowing passion. Hold it tightly in your arms and let it fly again. Abandon all confusion."

The three-minute-long winner's song is neither long nor short, and Tamamo Cross's distinctive voice quickly reached the end.

Listening to the lyrics full of expectation and radicalism, Kitahara couldn't help but think of another track.

"Winning the soul".

It is the winner's stage song exclusive to the classic triple crown, and it is also the song that impressed him the most, especially after watching the first episode of the second season of the anime.

The content of that episode was that the Emperor of the East China Sea won the Japanese Derby, and the ending song was this song that symbolizes the highest glory of the horse racing girls.

Every time Kitahara revisits the song, he can't help but feel his emotions fluctuate when this song comes on.

Especially when the climax comes with the line “We are galloping in the present and cannot stop”, and the words “Episode 1, Emperor of the East China Sea” appear on the screen.

Because, after such a climax episode and such passionate lyrics, there is the sad news of a broken bone and the regret of missing out on viewing the chrysanthemums forever.

The shock of this sad news and the sigh of regret are unavoidable and irreparable, even if one knows the wonderful twists and turns that followed and the "miracle resurrection" at the Arima Memorial.

“I am galloping in the present moment, and I cannot stop… Because I still have goals to achieve, I want to go one step further and strive to surpass them… Even my tears are tightly held in my arms, and the story that begins again from there will continue endlessly…”

Suddenly remembering this classic Triple Crown winner song and the touch he had felt, he couldn't help but whisper the lyrics of the climax.

Can’t stop…

All horse girls should step onto the racetrack with such a dream in mind...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked to his side.

The Winning Live on TV just came to an end, and his voice also fell into the ears of Xiaolimao and Te Bie Zhou, mother and daughter, standing nearby.

"Hey? What Uncle Kitahara said seems to be a lyric..." Little Te Bie Zhou noticed it at once.

"Yeah, it's the lyrics of 'Winning the soul'."

As the horse girl of this year's Satsuki Award, Oguruma performed this song in her last Winning Live. She also heard Kitahara's whisper, and after confirming Tokai's guess with a smile, she looked at Kitahara in confusion.

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden, Kitahara?"

"Ah, it suddenly occurred to me..."

Hearing the conversation beside him, Kitahara suddenly came back to his senses, was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

“I just suddenly felt that the lyrics of this song are pretty good.”

"That's good, but..."

After looking at Kitahara with some confusion for a while, Oguruma suddenly laughed, "Are you thinking about the Japanese derby?"

"Don't worry, I heard from Xiaoyu and the others."

"There seems to be a saying that if you want to win the Japanese derby, you have to be very lucky."

"I'm very lucky to have come all the way from Kasamatsu to Central and not lost any game till now."

"If the Japanese derby requires luck, I will definitely not lack it."

"So, Kitahara, you can rest assured."

Looking at the confident smile of her horse girl, thinking of the stadium in another dimension that she had never set foot on, and thinking that she had already won a championship in this world, Kitahara couldn't help but think of another line from "Winning the Soul".

...If luck is sometimes necessary, then I will lead the melody of fate to my side...

Smiling as well, he nodded, his eyes full of determination, "You must be such a horse girl."

After watching the entire Winning Live, it was already getting late.

Kitahara and his party stayed in the hot spring hotel for another night. The next day, they packed up their affairs and set off back to Tokyo. Of course, Zhou's mother and daughter followed them.

Before leaving Hokkaido, he received good news from Tresen College there.

It just so happened that Hao Opera's father was on a business trip in Tokyo. After the school contacted the father and daughter, they learned of the father's idea, which was to arrange transfer procedures for Hao Opera while he was on a business trip.

This made Kitahara overjoyed. As long as the good opera was in Tokyo, it would be easy to contact her, especially since Te Zhou also had to transfer schools.

After asking again, he learned that Good Opera was going to transfer to Tokyo Public Umamusume Elementary School. He discussed it with Aiko and decided to let Special Week transfer to that elementary school as well.

In this way, it will be natural to go to the elementary school to find Special Week and see a good opera at the same time.

Now that this matter has been settled, Beiyuan feels relieved.

After settling down Zhou's mother and daughter, and telling the little one to communicate more with "a classmate in school who seems to be very expressive" when he has time, the daily training phase began again.

What is different from the past is that the training now includes "wind tunnel equipment" as a necessary process.

During the days when Kitahara and Oguruma went to Hokkaido, Shin Shinkyou and Miyamura Kyoko, with the help of others, had already set up the entire set of equipment, and the venue was directly a warehouse next to Central Tresen College.

On this day, after completing their morning exercises, all members of the Yongshi team gathered in this warehouse and gathered around five "tubes" about ten meters long and more than one meter in radius.

The section of the "pipe" away from the warehouse door is a "big box" about three or four meters square with the top against the ceiling. The surface of the "big box" is black hard sponge, and you can't see what's inside.

Extending from the "big box" toward the warehouse door is the main body of the "tube". Most of the main body is made of light blue glass several inches thick, so the general situation inside can be seen from the outside.

Inside the glass body, the bottom is a treadmill-like structure. The difference from a treadmill is that the "running belt" here is thicker and has a rougher surface. When viewed from the side, the texture of the "running belt" is obviously softer.

This "special treadmill" also has structures such as armrests, as well as an operation panel and a display screen, but there are relatively fewer buttons on the operation panel and the display screen.

There are data cables of various colors on the bottom edge of the "special treadmill". The data cables extend outward to the glass wall and are connected to various instruments installed on it.

The data cable of the instrument runs along the glass wall directly to the other end of the "tube" facing the "big box". This end is hollow and can directly enter the inside of the "tube". There is a device half a person's height on the side.

This device is obviously a computer, but what makes it different from ordinary computers used at home or in the office is that it has more display screens on it and more external devices besides the keyboard and mouse.

Surrounding these five devices, the team's horse racing ladies were basically looking at them with curiosity, while trainers like Kitahara were listening to the introduction of Shin Shinkyou and Miyamura Kyoko, while writing and drawing on the recording board they carried with them.

"Although Mr. Kitahara said that we don't need to consider the cost and just buy the right one, but..."

The first to speak was the new light.

Compared to Miyamura Kyoko, she knew the prices and features of these devices better. That was why this horse girl, who actually had a pretty good family background, had a painful look on her face.

"These devices are really too expensive. I feel guilty if I don't explain it..."

She twitched her lips, not knowing whether she was trying to comfort others or herself, she smiled bitterly and continued:
"There are no wind tunnels specifically designed for us horse racing girls. The ones available on the market are all used for speed measurements at subsonic, transonic, and supersonic levels."

"That is, apart from aerospace, there is no suitable equipment, and these are all custom-made."

She pointed at the "big box" inside the warehouse, then at the various instruments on the glass body, and then at the "special treadmill" and the computer with a more complex structure than the usual ones. The corners of her mouth twitched again.

"Specialized fans, dedicated laser speed measuring equipment, dedicated speed measuring track, dedicated analyzer... In short, everything is specialized."

"Compared to the football field-sized equipment used to test aircraft, this small model doesn't require a high-power fan, so it saves a lot of losses, but... it's really expensive, Mr. Kitahara..."

She finally looked at Kitahara with some distress.

"...I don't remember you being a money-grubber, Guanghui."

Kitahara paused for a moment and said, "These devices are indeed very expensive. Each one costs tens of millions of yen. It costs a lot to start it up once, but as long as it can help improve Oguruma and the others, it's nothing."

In his opinion, money is only money if it is spent, otherwise it is just paper. The same goes for other resources. He can fully accept expensive training equipment and any way to improve the level of training.

But at the moment, even after personally investigating the market, Xinxin Guanghui still finds it difficult to accept this kind of thing.

Not only her, except for Kyoko Miyamura who understood the situation of the five "tubes" in front of her and looked relatively calm, Komiyayama and Yusuhara also showed the same painful expressions as Shin Shinkyou.

Oguruma and the others were a little confused at first, but Mejiro Aldan, who had some knowledge of economics, reacted quickly.

"According to what Guanghui and Mr. Kitahara said...hiss--doesn't that mean that every time we use this kind of equipment, it's equivalent to the cost of eating half a block of food in Harajuku?"

Even Aldan, who came from a famous family like Mejiro, gasped. After understanding her metaphor, which was very common to the Eternal Team, all the horse girls soon gasped in pain as well.

For a while, the sound of "hissing" came one after another in the warehouse.

"...If you keep pumping like this, it's going to get cold here, right?"

He had been planning to tell a joke to lighten the mood, but when he saw the other members had even colder expressions, Kitahara couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and gave up the idea of ​​further explaining his thoughts.

He originally wanted to explain his economic concepts to everyone, but after thinking about it, he felt that his ideas were more or less derived from his previous experience in running a business, and the only people who could agree with him at once were probably "peers" like Masato Kurokawa and Tomomi Onan.

For a Uma Musume team like Yongshi, perhaps there is not much meaning and need to explain anything. It should be more effective to directly use practice to prove that the resources spent on these equipment are worthwhile.

"Okay, okay, stop feeling hurt."

After giving a helpless persuasion, Kitahara pointed at the new light and waved towards the nearest "pipeline" in front of him.

"The decision is yours, Glory."

"Go, go in and take a look, let Xiao Limao and the others understand how to use these devices."

"Kyoko, I'll trouble you with the specific operations." He looked at Kyoko Miyamura again.

"Hey? Who? Me...?"

"OK, all right."

Shin Shin-Kuai and Miyamura Kyoko pointed at themselves in surprise and nodded without hesitation.

"if not?"

As a matter of course, Kitahara nodded and said, "You have changed your job to a technical trainee, but don't forget that before that, you were also a horse girl."

"You personally selected and purchased these devices, and you suggested many of the programs to the manufacturers, or even designed them yourself."

"With all this knowledge, you should definitely be the one to demonstrate."

"This... I... but... it's so expensive... what if it gets broken..."

Hesitating, the new glory looked withdrawn.

"I've already said it... Oh, forget it. Then you just wait aside and I'll be the next one to do the demonstration."

With a sigh, Kitahara didn't intend to waste any more time, so he handed the clipboard to Yuhara beside him, and took off his coat and handed it to him.

"Let me demonstrate."

As a trainer, basic physical fitness is still necessary. Including Kitahara, the trainers of the Eternal Team do morning exercises every day just like Uma Musume.

The intensity of morning exercise is naturally not comparable to that of Uma Musume, but it is not a problem to just do a simple demonstration in the "wind tunnel equipment".

He had already learned about the entire set of equipment through the specially designed instruction manual, and knew that the demonstration part would not be too troublesome.

So, in the stunned eyes of the members, he walked towards the "tube" in front of him, walked straight through the opening at the end and walked onto the "runway". ... Well, it felt similar to grass, and the money was not wasted.

Stepping on the specially made "running track", he lifted and stepped his left and right feet back and forth, feeling the touch from the soles of his feet, and nodded secretly.

At present, the grass species used in Japan's racing tracks is basically called "Equine", which is locally developed and is characterized by its fast growth and strong cushioning properties.

Because it grows fast, the track will have turf available all year round and the competition will not be affected too much.

In contrast, the grass grown on this type of stadium is almost all annual new grass. The grass on the turf is not only short and low in density, but also prone to clumping.

This results in the runway becoming dry and hard in good weather, and the grass flying everywhere in bad weather.

Japan's racing tracks are jokingly called "very hard high-speed tracks" and commonly known as "planting grass on concrete ground". The reason is the characteristics of the Equine grass species, which is not really grass laid on concrete ground.

This situation will continue to specialize over time, with the passage of time, the iteration of grass species, and the improvement of drainage systems.

Of course it is impossible to lay real grass inside the wind tunnel equipment. Fortunately, there are some "material science" related knowledge points in the new and glorious technology tree. Although it is impossible to make a "running belt" by imitating real grass, it is still no problem to make specific requirements to the manufacturer.

With such a specially customized running belt, the touch and effect during training can be extremely close to the actual competition situation. The differences can be corrected through data correction through relevant programs, and the results can be regarded as errors.

"I'm ready. If you're ready too, Kyoko, we can start."

After feeling the situation of the treadmill, Kitahara turned around and nodded to Miyamura Kyoko who had already walked to the analyzer, and then added another sentence.

"When you test the 'dynamic' data later, remember not to set the speed too high. Use human standards."

His original intention was to tell a joke to lighten the atmosphere, because he saw that the other members next to Kyoko still seemed to be out of form and each of them looked stunned.

But this joke didn't work just like the last one, and Kyoko even tilted her head in confusion.

"Of course it's by human standards. With the speed that Oguruma and the others are going, Kitahara-san will be thrown out."

Kyoko Miyamura was just telling the truth, but Oguruma and the others were stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing.

“Being thrown out… seems quite interesting.”

Nodding, Oguruma stood at the exit of the wind tunnel equipment and opened his arms, "Then I'll stand here. If Kitahara is accidentally thrown out, I will catch him."

"Hey? This is really interesting. Let's come over and take it."

Tamamo Cross's eyes lit up, and he stood next to Oguruma with an expression of wanting to watch the fun and not be afraid of trouble, and also opened his arms.

Afterwards, Inariichi, Aldan and Kobayashi all looked interested and followed Oguruma and Tamamo Cross's example.

...Hey, this isn't right, is it? Why do I feel like you guys are expecting me to be thrown out?!
Kitahara couldn't help but want to complain, but this thought was quickly interrupted by a whistling sound of the wind.

There was a continuous wind coming from the other end of the "tube". The wind speed was not very fast and the sound was not particularly loud. Facing this level of wind, he could still hear the sounds outside.

"Okay, stop messing around, guys."

Waving at Oguruma and the others, Miyamura Kyoko said seriously, "It's training time now. All of you, including Brother Yusuhara, Komiya, and Kouki, come and look at the screen over here."

Hearing this, he saw from the corner of his eye that all the team members walked to the analyzer as Kyoko said, and Kitahara also quickly turned around and stood facing the direction of the fan.

At this point, the "static" data has begun.

In the professional field, wind tunnel is a major equipment for aerodynamic tests, and most related tests can be carried out in various types of wind tunnels.

The principle is to use a power device to drive a controllable airflow in a specially designed pipe, passing it through the experimental object, simulating the movement of the real object in the air in different states.

By measuring the aerodynamic forces on the experimental object, the flow phenomena on and around its surface can be observed.

When the experimental object is in a static state, the analyzer controls the power device to generate winds of different conditions and collects the corresponding data.

When it comes to the dynamic part, that is, when the subjects start running on the track, dynamic data can be collected.

By comparing the data from different situations, it is entirely possible to obtain analysis results from official competitions in the case of informal competitions.

This means that the Yongshi team can use wind tunnel equipment to obtain a large amount of "competition data" in disguise.

With the continuous efforts of Kyoko Miyamura, the team has compiled a large amount of physical fitness data. By analyzing this data, the values ​​of basic abilities such as endurance, strength, and speed also have a corresponding set of files, and the real-time data of each game is always recorded.

By combining these existing data with the "race data" from the wind tunnel equipment, it is entirely possible to create race modeling for each horse girl.

At that point, Eisei's training level will be developed to an extremely advanced level in this area, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is no other trainer or horse girl in Japan who can compare to him.

This is why Kitahara is willing to spend huge amounts of money to improve training conditions.

Under the debugging of Kyoko Miyamura, the airflow in the wind tunnel equipment has undergone several changes. Relevant data, icons, and models have also appeared on the screen of the analyzer, presented to Oguruma and others.

"As for the specific data analysis, you guys don't need to worry too much about it, Xiaoli."

Pointing at the content on the screen, Miyamura Kyoko explained with a smile: "Brother Yusuhara, you don't have to rush to record it now. The relevant points of attention are all in the manual. You should have read it. Now just pay attention to my operation."

"After that, you will train with Xiaoli and the others. You must be familiar with these operations."

"The most important thing is to make sure that the condition of the equipment's 'experimental section' is the same as the manual before each training session, such as no debris and that the training subjects are standing properly on the runway."

Pointing to the glass main part of the "tube", she emphasized: "The 'experimental section' is the central component of the wind tunnel equipment. The air flow field simulation depends entirely on this part to collect data."

“If you fail to prepare as required, it will cause equipment problems or inaccurate data collection, which will be very troublesome.”

"Once this part is done, the next step is to operate the airflow generated by the fan. All of this can be done through the analyzer, without the need to enter the equipment to operate it."

She pointed to the various external devices on the analyzer.

"The principle of this device is to organize the experimental results into similar numbers of actual situations based on analogy theory, and control these external devices. The airflow quality in the 'experimental section' can meet the vast majority of situations that Oguri and his team will encounter on the field."

"Things like the uniformity of the airflow during their actual competition, the stability of parameters changing over time, the degree of vorticity, etc. can all be simulated in real time."

"In this way, the most important airflow conditions and training objects can be easily controlled."

"The flow parameters can also be varied independently of each other through manipulation."

“Both dynamic and static data can be accurately measured.”

"There is a humidity meter inside the fan, and the running belt can be replaced with corresponding models such as good, bad, heavy, and poor according to the humidity conditions. In other words, the impact of changes in the atmospheric environment can basically be designed."

"As for data, there are corresponding programs for force measurement, pressure measurement, heat transfer, dynamic models, flow state observation, etc. This is thanks to Guanghui."

She looked at the new glory and smiled, "There is absolutely no equipment on the market that is suitable for Uma Girls. The wind tunnel simulation data in the past was converted and converted through aviation models, and the error is still quite large."

"Guanghui spent a lot of time designing special program codes based on Oguri and the others' situations, so that we can use these devices to analyze relevant data smoothly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else looked at the new Glory with admiration, which made the horse girl feel a little embarrassed.

"Hey, these are nothing. I did design and produce some programs, but most of them were designed with the help of teachers and classmates."

She nodded vigorously. "I promised them that I would find some time to thank them later."

"So it should be said that thanks to them, I didn't actually do much..."

She scratched her head with a silly smile, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Oh, by the way, you can let Mr. Kitahara come down now."

She quickly approached the entrance of the wind tunnel and gave a thumbs up. "Mr. Kitahara's situation is quite different from ours. Just give me a simple demonstration. I'm fine now."

"It is just as Mr. Kitahara said. After all, I am also a horse racing girl and I am very familiar with these equipment."

"Then if I demonstrate, it will definitely be more effective."

Hearing this, Kyoko Miyamura nodded and quickly stopped the equipment.

During the demonstration, the wind speed in the "experimental section" was not very high. Kitahara heard the conversation outside and quickly walked out of the equipment after the airflow inside returned to calm and the runway stopped running.

"How is it, are you feeling it?"

This question was asked to Yusuhara and Komiyama. As trainers, they would be using the equipment in front of them later, so they had to master how to use it.

"As for the specific operation, it doesn't seem very complicated... But let Guanghui go up and try it, brother."

After responding thoughtfully, Komiya-san smiled and said, "Tama and the others should also want to see what it's like to use this equipment with Uma Musume."

Hearing this, Tamamo Cross, Oguruma and the others all nodded with curiosity. Oguruma even nodded and smiled:

"It seems that Kitahara can always come up with such interesting training methods."

"If the other horse girls knew about this, they would probably want to try their luck, too."

"…This is no joke, Oguruma."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Kitahara said seriously, "For a long time to come, even until you retire, this kind of training will serve as an extremely important auxiliary means. You must take it seriously."

"So far, you have indeed achieved very good results, but it is not enough, at least not compared to your potential."

"Like your physical potential, Oguruma, Aldan and Kobayashi's domain mastery, Tama's physical enhancement, and Inari's temperament. Although we can't rely entirely on this one method, using this in the long term will definitely make the entire training more effective."

"I will arrange more technical training methods in the future, so you can not only not just be satisfied with the current training conditions and strength, but also be prepared to accept various new training methods."

Having said that, he turned his head to look inside the wind tunnel equipment, and saw that Xin Xin Guanghui had already stood on it. He did not hesitate to express the attitude he wanted to express at the beginning.

"At that level, the equipment that needs to be placed is far more than what is currently there."

“To put it bluntly, the equipment back then would be more expensive.”

"If you keep worrying about how much you spent, it's actually a waste of time."

"As long as the money spent is valuable, then it is not wasted. Moreover, only the money spent is money. What is not spent is just numbers and paper. I hope you can accept this as soon as possible."

It will take some time for horse girls like Oguruma, who are focused on the race, to digest these words.

However, Yusuhara, Komiyama, and Kyoko, who had been cooperating with Kitahara for a long time, understood it all at once and showed expressions of approval.

Xin Xin Guanghui, who had been feeling pained by the expense at first, seemed to understand something and nodded involuntarily.

"I think... I understand a little bit..."

She murmured and nodded more vigorously, "I understand, Mr. Kitahara, I really thought too much before."

"As long as Xiaoli and the others can have stronger strength and better performance, everything we have done will be worth it."

"I understand that!"

"Start the equipment, I'm fully prepared!"

Seeing her raise her hands excitedly, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Kyoko also started the equipment with a smile.

This time she did not explain again, and this task was naturally taken over by Kitahara.

Compared to Kyoko's explanation of the details of the equipment, operation and attention to detail, what he talked about was the part about training.

"This equipment is not just for data analysis, it is more important to simulate the official competition."

Instructing Kyoko to change some parameters of the device, Kitahara pointed to some indicators on the screen and explained:

"The equipment can simulate the environmental variables that exist in official competitions, such as air quality, slope, temperature, humidity, and even sunlight."

"This means that when you conduct this kind of training, you can treat it as a formal competition."

Having said that, he paused and added a little.

"Of course, you will have other opponents in the official competition. Environmental factors include the venue implementation, the condition of the audience seats, etc. These can also be simulated in theory, such as VR equipment."

"It's just that it's a little early to talk about that with the current technology. I will slowly find a way to solve it later. For now, I can just train according to these conditions."

After a brief supplement, he quickly talked about some specific data.

"Based on your normal pace when starting, cruising, cornering, and sprinting during the race, many data have clear average values."

"For example, at cruising pace, the energy consumption to overcome wind resistance is generally 32.3% for short distances, 28.1% for miles, 26.5% for middle distances, and 22.9% for long distances."

"To put it simply, for those of you who can run 60 kilometers per hour, a considerable portion of your energy consumption during the race is spent on fighting against wind resistance."

"But compared to humans, you have a special situation."

As he spoke, he reached out and tugged at his clothes.

"Victory suit."

"The winning uniforms you wore in the G1 tournament are very special."

"The material of this suit is no different than any other suit, but with the blessing of the three goddesses, when you wear the suit, the wind resistance and other energy consumption will be less than in non-G1 events."

"You have all participated in G1 events, so you should have some experience with this."

The horse racing girls standing outside the wind tunnel nodded subconsciously and began to think about it.

"Oh, that feeling is actually real."

Oguruma scratched his head, "I thought it was an illusion. It was just that during the Gaoyue Sho, it seemed to be less strenuous than in previous competitions... But no one else told me this, and the three goddesses didn't say anything either. I thought it was an illusion."

"How could it be an illusion? Xiaoli, do you usually listen carefully in class?"

Having just finished the Emperor's Spring Viewing, the changes brought by Tamamo Cross to the duel suit became clearer. "I feel like this is pretty obvious, and all these teachers have said it!"

"Eh? Did the teacher say that...?"

Scratching his head again, Xiaoli lowered his voice in an instant, "Then... maybe I dozed off at that time...?"

"...I really don't know what to say to you, bastard."

Inari showed a helpless expression, then became confused again, "But, since everyone is wearing their final uniforms, it shouldn't have any impact on the game, right?"

"Yeah, if I'm the only one wearing the victory suit, it can be considered an advantage, but if everyone wears it..."

Xiao Haiwan also raised a similar question, and Aldan looked at Kitahara, "Mr. Kitahara specifically mentioned the winning suit, so there should be some arrangements for training, right?"

After patiently waiting for the horse racing girls to finish expressing their doubts, Kitahara smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I do have an arrangement, or rather, you need to have a clear idea."

“Thoughts?” The five horse girls wondered in unison.

"It is true that all horse girls participating in G1 will wear the final uniforms. And just as Oguruma wondered, it is also true that the effect of the final uniforms on physical fitness is actually difficult to intuitively feel."

Kitahara explained: "But this doesn't mean that the decisive service has no effect on you at all."

"G1 events are the least numerous in the Shining Star Series, and accordingly, you have very little experience wearing the finals uniforms."

"In this case, you will unconsciously run G1 with the habits of other events."

"But if you can get used to using a more precise method in your daily training to control the difference between G1 events and non-G1 events, then you will have a certain advantage before the game compared to your opponents on the field."

"This advantage is reflected in the results, which may seem to be only a few tenths of a second."

"But isn't the difference between first and second place in your competition often just a few tenths of a second?"

The horse girls present were all the best of the current generation. Kitahara didn't need to explain it again, as they already understood the key.

"That's right! If I can adapt to the winning suit before the Emperor's Spring Viewing, I might be able to beat Xiaoyu!"

Inari, who had just missed the championship at the Emperor's Spring Viewing, couldn't help herself for a moment. She clenched her fists and said unwillingly:
"Just a little bit of strength... If I can adapt to the effects of the decisive suit in advance, I will have more strength left when the great outer path surpasses me."

"With that much energy, I can definitely catch up with Xiaoyu in the end!"

"Well, I admit that you spent more energy on dealing with the Outer Path, but..."

Nodding in agreement with Inari's words, Tamamo Cross tilted his head and spread his hands, "Inari, have you forgotten that if you can adapt to the effects of the Victory Suit, how can we not adapt to it?"

"In that case, our physical energy consumption will remain the same, and we will still win the Emperor's Spring Viewing Award."

"...Damn it, Xiaoyu, you bastard..."

Knowing that Tamamo Cross was right, the unwillingness on his face gradually turned into madness. Inari scratched his hair and pointed at the other party, "I don't care! Next time the Emperor comes to appreciate the spring, we will have another showdown!"

"Oh no, I will keep a close eye on you in the remaining games this year. Don't think about escaping so easily, Xiaoyu!"

Such bickering between the two little ones has become a routine for the Yongshi team. Seeing them acting the same as always, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, don't rush to make an appointment to decide the winner. Remember what I said first."

After laughing for a moment, Beiyuan quickly regained his seriousness.

"What Xiaoyu and Inari said just hit the nail on the head."

"That means you are definitely the first horse girls who can master the subtle effects of the winning suit through training."

"It's not just the effect of the winning suit on wind resistance."

"Similarly, uphill and downhill, different temperatures and humidity, different degrees of sunlight, including different wind speed conditions, and different venue conditions, energy consumption will all change to a certain extent due to the decisive suit."

“And it’s a change that most horse girls can only vaguely sense, but we can use it to train.”

"It's not just the influence of the winning server."

"Your daily state, the improvement after each training session, how to make extremely fine adjustments afterwards, how to gradually increase the gap with your opponents by a few tenths of a second, these changes and influences can all be mastered through training."

He stretched out his hand, held it tightly, and said in a deep voice:
"A difference of just a few tenths of a second may not seem significant, but in practice it can easily be lost due to specific circumstances such as turning, switching positions, and adjusting running styles."

"But once such gaps accumulate, you will eventually leave your opponents further and further behind."

“So far that they cannot catch up at all until they master the same training method, or even for a long time after they master it.”
