This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 123 Wind and Bridge
"Zhou Yun from the Yunyi team was the first to reach the summit!"

“The first one to reach the summit!”

The commentary's voice echoed on every audience's screen, and the director's camera gradually pulled away, showing the vast world.

The wind and snow gradually subsided.

The sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the third checkpoint.

Below the maintenance station is a magnificent sea of ​​clouds, with vast mountains and forests looming in the sea.

"Eight hundred miles of charging road, four hundred miles of frost and snow road, climbing from 1934 meters above sea level to 4542 meters, challenging the Zongyun Mountains that span three provinces. Some people got lost, some fell off the cliff..."

"But this can't stop the drivers' ambition to challenge themselves and nature!"

"Let us congratulate the Yunyi team for being the first to receive the summit reward!"

Zhou Yun stood on the snow-covered rocks at the top of the maintenance station, holding his helmet, blending into the afternoon sunlight.

The camera gradually zooms in, and the grandeur of the sea of ​​clouds forms a sharp contrast with the tiny figures.

The clouds seemed to be floating in front of my chest, and a flock of birds were flying by at the end of the sky.

Compared to the 8-point reward, talent imprint, and extra bonus, what made Zhou Yun more excited was the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."

Will there be a more magnificent track waiting for him and the jackdaw to conquer?

Manager Ye wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the director's camera, and cursed angrily: "What a lunatic."

In the final charge on the cliff section, Zhou Yun completely ignored everything and flew over the cliff three times in a row!
Only then did he catch up with and surpass the two drivers in front.

It's too dangerous. Even if Jackdaw has a speed bonus, even if the innate engraving can solve the problem of the center of gravity drifting...

"Carrying Mount Tai to cross the North Sea?"

A gleam flickered in Manager Ye's eyes. With a driver like him, perhaps... he could really look forward to winning the S-League World Championship!

Lu Yang sighed, Chongguang’s failure showed the failure of the past model.

"I must get investors to increase their investment when I get back!"

On the other side, in the audience.

The team managers and drivers who came to watch the race saw Zhou Yun flying over the cliff three times and rushing to the top, and they all understood one thing.

Is it dangerous? It is definitely quite dangerous.

But is it fast?

You don't need to learn the cliff flying maneuver, but...

“Drifting must be integrated into the driver’s training, and it would be best if new driver-specific techniques could be developed!”

From S4 to S7, the driver has been stuck in a development bottleneck, but now, he has finally seen the dawn of a breakthrough.

What if the investor disagrees?
With this driver's threat, who the hell dares to disagree?

You don’t want the championship anymore, right?

In particular, the fleets in other urban areas of Cainan Province are ready for innovation.

Because the Death Star will soon rush to the provincial capital!
The sea of ​​clouds surged among the mountains, bringing up gusts of wind, heralding a more magnificent future.

Jiang Wuyang, who was far away in Kyoto, watched this scene and smiled.

He knew that Zhou Yun would definitely bring more than just a championship to the S game!
Soon, the sound of an engine was heard behind them, and Tan Tonglu and Liu Yu also drove their cars into the maintenance station.

After getting off the car, Tan Tonglu wanted to say something, but looking at the scenery in front of him, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to say.

"You win, the talent imprint is yours. Remember to keep it safe and don't lose it to others."

Then he smiled and said, "It's the way down the mountain, get ready."

After saying that, he entered the maintenance station without looking back.

Zhou Yun laughed a few times and returned to the maintenance station with his helmet. At this time, the maintenance technicians were working quickly on the repair.

"What have you done? The chassis is cracked!"

"It's a bit troublesome to repair, but luckily I have a spare..."

The jackdaw looked limp and its little face was pale.

Zhou Yun felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time he felt fortunate. After all, on the last section of Feiya, apart from Jackdaw, which other mecha girl would dare to be so crazy with him?

If you play like this normally, the synchronization rate of the mecha girl will drop quickly!
"Zhou Yun..."

The jackdaw's tone was quite painful, with a hint of grievance.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun stepped forward and was about to offer some words of comfort, but he heard Jackdaw say, "What happened to the little raccoon? I can't hear it anymore. It's so annoying!"

"After the game, I'll invite Qing Jue over and tell you all about it!"

Jackdaw was immediately surprised, and then she asked, "What if she doesn't come?"

"Hehe, then I'll bring Yin Ling and Feng Ying with me and tie up Tan Tonglu!"

On the other side, in Caihua’s maintenance station.

"If it really doesn't work, let's withdraw from the competition!"

Although Tan Tonglu's expression was calm, Qingjue felt Tan Tonglu's pain firsthand due to the high synchronization rate.

It hurts all the time!
"I'm fine, Qingjue. I'm just a little uncomfortable with the plateau. The way down the mountain will be fine."

Tan Tonglu sat in the driver's seat with difficulty and said with a smile, "I must defend this city for Brother Rong and Uncle Chen."

"I think that's enough now!"

Qing Jue smiled bitterly: "In your current state, how are you going to fight Zhou Yun when you go down the mountain?"

Rong Zheng's voice could also be heard through the headset: "Tan Tonglu, I've talked to Brother Chen about this, and he said it's ready..."

"Brother Rong, Jiang Xiyue is now lagging behind, and we have one more person than the Yunyi team. As long as I can persevere and finish the race, the team championship will be ours!"

He gripped the joystick tightly and looked forward with a determined gaze.

Before leaving Jingyun, be sure to leave something for the team!
After hearing this, Rong Zheng stopped trying to persuade him and just said, "Okay, be careful."

……

After leaving the top of Baoyun Peak, it is more than 700 kilometers down the mountain.

The altitude drop in the first section of the road is very rapid, dropping more than 800 meters in altitude, rushing into the Bashu territory, and then circling back to Cainan.

After replacing the new chassis and suspension, the Jackdaw rushed down the mountain like a dragon emerging from the sea, with its engine roaring.

"The tires are so soft, it feels a bit hard to run."

"If we run a little longer and get out of the snowy area, the tire pressure will come up."

Zhou Yun shifted into gear and used the jet stream to quickly turn. Three and a half hours of high-intensity driving made him feel a little tired.

The Jackdaw's tiredness could also be felt through the mental link, but this was far from a time to rest.

He knew that the time had come to challenge himself.

"What are our scores when we reach Kanlu?"

"Um... one, two, three... three hours and two hundred and eighty-three minutes..."

Zhou Yun almost laughed out loud: "How can you calculate like that! That's seven hours and forty-three minutes!"

"Well, let's run it within seven hours this time!"

The Jackdaw said excitedly, "Yeah!"

So far, the jet has continued.

Commentator Li Hao excitedly said, "No one can stop Jackdaw anymore!"

"For the Dark Star racer, the next test is his endurance. Three hours of continuous high-intensity driving would tire even a professional racer." "This will be the ultimate battle between humans and mobile girls, pushing their own limits and transcending nature!"

Everyone present understood that it was time to test the drivers on the downhill section.

The strong winds stirred up by the racing cars blew the snow into disarray, scattered bushes began to appear on both sides of the road, and the snow gradually decreased.

Looking at the frost and snow meteors speeding in the distance, Liu Yu sighed. It was really difficult to catch up.

He expected that after Zhou Yun was the first to reach the top, there would be no opponents left, and he would relax, and the fatigue that was offset by adrenaline would burst out in an instant.

With this mentality, the probability of him revealing flaws would increase, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yun became even more cautious!

There's no car in front, why are you still arguing?

"Eh." He sighed and said to the white whale, "I still need to hone my skills. Let's make sure we finish the race first."

Rushing down the mountain too fast would increase the danger, and in order to finish the race, he was unwilling to increase the probability of losing control even a little bit.

"25% is the limit, it can't go any faster."

So he slowed down, and the green figure beside Unicorn suddenly rushed out, closely chasing the silver meteor.

Sweat dripped down Tan Tonglu's body, his eyes fixed on the meteor in front of him.

Zhou Yun was still speeding up, so he had to speed up too.

"Qingjue, we can go faster."

"The cornering here could be a little better..."

"The speed can be shortened a bit..."

What the driver ultimately has to challenge is his own limitations, and at this moment he only has one goal left.

How to improve your speed faster!

The flags of the S race fluttered in the wind on both sides of the track. The snow had disappeared, and there were more and more weeds and shrubs on the roadside.

There were no clouds or smoke between the vast sky and earth, only Zhou Yun and the crows charging towards the horizon.

Just like Kuafu chasing the sun, he keeps chasing the setting sun among the mountain ridges.

After passing the fourth checkpoint, the snow line had completely melted and the mountains and forests on both sides were lush and green.

After making a large circle of nearly 80 kilometers in the mountains and forests, Zhou Yun rode the Jackdaw and left the crowd behind. He circled the territory of Bashu and turned back to Cainan Province.

"How are you, my friends over there?"

"We, the drivers from Cainan Province, say hello to you!"

"The next time we meet, it will be at the national competition!"

Commentator Li Hao smiled and said, "Four and a half hours have passed, and Zhou Yun's speed is still increasing!"

"He didn't relax at all because of his lead, and he continued to push higher."

"He's already nearly two kilometers ahead of Tan Tonglu, and the gap is still widening. He's truly a terrifying track monster..."

"I can conclude that the individual championship of this competition belongs to him!"

Lin Yi on the side jokingly asked: "What about the team champion?"

"That's tough. The biggest disadvantage of the Yunyi team is that they're missing one person. Unless Jiang Xiyue can grab a podium spot, they won't be able to win the team championship."

In the live broadcast room, Ning Yuan clenched his fists tightly and said while looking at the camera.

"Go! Jiang Xiyue, as the number two driver of the Light Wheel and last year's best driver of the year, you can't be just this capable!"

"I know that the D-level competition has great limitations on Ling Yu's performance, but you must win!"

"Otherwise I'll go edit your video!"

After crossing the mountains and forests, Zhou Yun drove the Jackdaw past the fifth maintenance station and launched a fierce attack on the final location.

The later the game progresses, the greater the gap between the mecha girls becomes. As the track gets longer, this gap will become irreversible.

Jiang Xiyue, who had been running wildly for more than six hours, felt a little dizzy and her lining was soaked with sweat.

My blood sugar is still a little bit high and my strength is decreasing bit by bit.

Her frail body kept gasping for breath. She couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Faster, faster..."

The Yunyi team has only two goals!
They want both the individual championship and the team championship!

But Liu Yu in front was as steady as Mount Tai, not giving Jiang Xiyue any chance to break through the obstacles.

Ling Yu was also exhausted at this time: "Jiang Xiyue, take care of yourself."

"Sister Lingyu, I'm fine."

After saying that, Jiang Xiyue began to think, how could the opponent turn so fast? What was going on?

Obviously, there is no effect like "drifting" or "air frying chicken"!
There was no mention of this in the pre-match information, which made her feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

Ling Yu does not have the ability to burst out instantly like Jackdaw. If he wants to win, he must find the opponent's weakness.

"flaw……"

The intense feeling of fatigue made her head feel heavy. She couldn't think of anything at the moment. She kept shifting up the gears as if by muscle memory, with the only word left in her mind being persistence.

"Keep going, you'll find it!"

Zhou Yun's voice came from the headset: "How about I go back to help, we're fast..."

"No need! Just go for it, I'm sure I'll take the podium!"

A feeling of not giving up surged from Jiang Xiyue's body. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

“We must rush forward!”

Liu Yu in front had an expressionless face as he looked at Jiang Xiyue who was constantly attacking from behind, maneuvering the unicorn to turn quickly.

"If I make a mistake once, I won't make a mistake a second time."

He was the only one left in Feijing, and he made up his mind that he must win the podium for the team.

Otherwise Feijing would really lose everything!

After rushing into the fifth maintenance station, she drank some sugar water and finally figured out the key to the problem: friction!
The opponent used a skill to change the friction of the tires at the corners, creating an effect similar to a "grip pedal" when cornering.

"I see... Just like drifting, the tires are your weakness?"

Jiang Xiyue laughed: "Sister Lingyu! Let's take him down!"

The sound of the river tide came and echoed among the mountains. The light of the setting sun passed through the mountain streams and waterfalls, and the nocturnal animals also began to move.

Above the stream, a meteor wrapped in frost and snow flew past quickly, rushing along the winding mountain road all the way to the highway.

After crossing the Lijiang Bridge between the mountains, Zhou Yun drove the Jackdaw into the forest again.

Another 20 kilometers and you will reach the end, the wind and the bridge.

"The Death Star has crossed the finish line! 6 hours, 59 minutes, and 54 seconds!"

Commentator Li Hao stood up excitedly and exclaimed, "He ran under seven hours! That means his average kilometer-per-hour speed was ridiculously fast!"

"Let's congratulate him!"

"Second place went to Tan Tonglu! 7 hours, 8 minutes, 32 seconds! The former Jingyun racing legend has proven himself once again!"

"Third place..."

Jiang Xiyue drove Lingyu, keeping pace with Liu Yu's Dujiao, and rushed to the finish line of Fenghe Bridge.

For a moment, no one could tell which driver crossed the finish line first.

After a while, commentator Li Hao excitedly said, "The competition team has given us feedback! Jiang Xiyue was the first to cross the finish line!"

"Let us congratulate the Yunyi team for winning the championship!"
