This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 198 The Price of Speed
“Wuwuwuwuwuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…”

"Ulala..."

What does it feel like to drive on a super-long highway of nearly 15 kilometers?
Little did the Jackdaw know, she was already losing her mind.

It’s been so long since I’ve experienced unlimited extreme acceleration!
She had forgotten what it felt like to run at full speed.

"Zhou, Zhou, Zhou Yun~ Quick, use the Wind of Breaking the World, coo coo coo."

“It’s already being used!”

"Then use [Meteor] quickly! I want to speed up again! Speed ​​up, speed up la la la la..."

"Ha, it's all used up, and the meteor is almost at the bottom."

"I'm so happy!"

Jackdaw yelled excitedly. At this moment, she no longer remembered where she had rushed to on the 'Jackdaw Happy Road'. She only knew that the speed was still being increased by the overloaded and violent engine.

The flywheel is about to wear through the gearbox!
The guardrails on both sides of the road gradually turned into a line, then into a series of afterimages, and finally only a blurry green remained.

He didn't know if it was the effect of the G-force or the pleasure brought by the surge of adrenaline, but at this moment he felt that the blood in his body was trying to pull his soul out of his body, and the stimulation made his brain stem tremble.

"Cool!"

Fortunately, the standard racing suits for Class D competitions have no load resistance, otherwise how could we experience this kind of excitement?

Ultimate speed, ultimate enjoyment!

Although the throttle is welded, flying close to the ground is just a joke for Xiaobai.

But at this moment, no one could stop him from stepping on the accelerator to the bottom!

He really wanted to see what kind of extreme speed he could achieve in this race, whether he could break the 8-minute barrier and approach more than 90% of the theoretical limit.

"Go to the end! Jackdaw!"

"OK!"

The fierce wind blew up the dust and gravel on the road, like thousands of flying knives, and blew the clothes on the jackdaws into scattering flowers.

The advertising logo on her body disappeared, revealing her original body that looked like a black gem, emitting a sparkling light in the frost and snow.

Seeing the jackdaw rushing forward on the big screen, the audience watching across the Internet began to boil with excitement!
This track brings me back to S1!
Many old fans of the mecha racing series were trembling with excitement. What curves and techniques were all crooked?

The horsepower of the girl is authentic, weld the accelerator and accelerate violently!

Many spectators who like to watch the quarter-mile drag race reached a collective climax at this moment.

[Faster! Break through 430, average speed down to 310! Faster!]

Ning Yuan shouted, "Brothers, this is so exciting! The race team predicts Zhou Yun's time will be 8 minutes and 43 seconds. Can we push it further?"

In stark contrast to the audience across the Internet, the expressions of the racers gradually became gloomy.

"I'd better fight the guard dog. I think I have the advantage..."

"No one in the village invites me to any banquet anymore."

As they thought about it, they all noticed a more serious problem.

Zhou Yun, do you want to die?
Your modification has no safety components. The average speed exceeds the standard. Don't pursue the limit. I'm scared.

"The speed is 460! And they're still increasing it. This is crazy!"

Looking at the speed of the explosions on the big screen, Bi Chen's face was flushed with excitement without him realizing it.

As a professional racing driver, he knows very well what such speed means.

"The last section of the highway where it turns into Anqing Xiashan Road is a 180-degree right hairpin bend. At this speed, can he still brake?"

Generally speaking, a car that's twice as fast needs four times as much braking distance.

Although the racing brake discs are mixed with spiritual pressure materials, the friction and wear resistance are enhanced several times, and the braking performance is better.

But now he's run a whole inning.

This is not a lap, you can go to the maintenance station to replace it. After more than 40 kilometers and drifting so many times, the brake pads are very brittle.

If you force the brakes on at such a high speed, the brake pads will definitely explode into Oreo cookies.

He imagined himself driving at such a speed and broke out in a cold sweat.

"If I were him, I would immediately, immediately, release the accelerator, lightly apply the brakes, and slow down in stages!"

Han Yu nodded. He agreed with this, but he knew Zhou Yun would not stop.

Because if he were Zhou Yun, he wouldn't stop now.

"There's a more extreme braking position, 3.5 kilometers before the end of the highway section, where you brake lightly, and then in three stages..."

"No, just brake hard twice at the 3km mark. You can drift into the corner at a higher speed. The brake pads should be able to withstand these two impacts."

Bi Chen shook his head speechlessly: "Only crazy people like you dare to think so. Wait, he doesn't seem to stop."

Han Yu looked up at the screen. At this time, Zhou Yun had already driven the Jackdaw and rushed past the 3-kilometer limit at high speed.

Suddenly cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Could it be that his brake pads are broken?"

"Is his brake pad broken?" Qing Luan stared and said quickly, "Quick, contact the race team and close the road outside the highway as soon as possible."

"Let her get into the buffer zone of the truck..."

Jiang Xiyue turned to look at the telemetry system below the screen: "Sister Qingluan, it's not broken, look at that..."

"Is he crazy? Or is Jackdaw crazy, or are they both crazy? If the speed reaches 500 now, the Jackdaw's (D-class) engine will explode!"

"Wait 500 meters and you'll know."

In the monitoring room, Jiang Wuyang's forehead was covered with tons of cold sweat as he repeatedly confirmed the location of the security team.

"This isn't a C-rank spiritual pressure track. There's no overload protection. You're charging so hard, it's really, really... cough cough cough."

"I know what you want to do, but please make sure you succeed!"

As the gray-white light continued to rush towards the end of the highway, the spectators watching the game also realized that something was wrong.

【Why hasn't he slowed down yet? 】

[If you run off the track, you'll be out of the race. No, forget about the race for now, slow down!]

The sunlight spread over the peaks of Anqing Gorge, shone on the constantly gushing springs, and hit the window of the Jackdaw. As she moved at high speed, the light and shadow kept changing.

From a distance, the jackdaw looked like a gray-white bullet flying straight towards the edge of the Anqing Canyon.

"Zhou, Zhou Yun?"

Zhou Yun stretched his waist, recalling the speed and passion just now, then moved his fingers and grasped the wrench that controlled his destiny.

If he didn't have this wrench, he wouldn't dare to do such extreme things.

"Thank you for your hard work, Little Raccoon King. Leave the rest to me."

"OK, all right."

The front of the Jackdaw's car swayed, and the brake discs turned red and orange in an instant, releasing a large amount of dust and smoke.

Then the front of her car tilted over, and at an incredible angle and speed, it drifted sideways over the last kilometer, drew a parabola, and suddenly rushed into the mountain road of Anqing Canyon.

Then, there is a period of continuous drifting at high speed, which is a feast for the eyes.

Near the starting platform, many people were stunned.

Zhou Yun controlled the drivers just right in the second section.

How? Just drifting?

Can you just float across?

That’s not right. Although I don’t know how to drift, I understand it.

At this speed, without your new kinetic stabilization system installed, you'll definitely drift like a gyroscope!
"It's the kinetic stabilization system that dilutes the speed!"

After thinking for a few seconds, Han Yu suddenly understood how Zhou Yun had achieved such a fast speed.

This is not ordinary drifting, this is drifting with a 'kinetic stabilization system'!

Zhou Yun's super-long acceleration of more than ten kilometers allowed the crow to accumulate an incredible speed, and this extreme speed was converted into inertia at once by Zhou Yun using drift.

Just like a giant hammer hitting a nail, the kinetic stabilization system was instantly filled up and then overflowed.

This overflow was just enough to push the Jackdaw to drift for about a kilometer, completing the maximum deceleration distance and quickly passing the curve.

"With just one handbrake application, can you complete the process of slowing down, turning, and exiting the corner at a high speed?"

No.

And there is a new steering system to match!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like he had been taught a hard lesson today. "Reiatsu Hot Spring!"

"Reiatsu Hot Spring!"

"Lulala, yeah!"

The two little ones hugged each other's shoulders and jumped around the starting platform: "Great!"

The drivers then realized that Zhou Yun had already driven the Jackdaw onto the boarding platform.

Achievement.

7 minutes and 58 seconds!
In the monitor, the Jackdaw on the waiting platform had already folded up the car body, and Zhou Yun also walked down from the platform intact.

Jiang Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed two tablets of nitroglycerin and put them in his mouth.

"Watching this kid play, my heart really can't take it."

"But 7 minutes and 58 seconds, that's not a bad result...hahahaha."

The first Lightyear Project, the first competition, already had this kind of performance guarantee, a great start.

With Zhou Yun as a 'role model', I believe the future Light Year Project trials will get better and better...

Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly.

"Fuck!"

"We have to check on the racers!"

He quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, is this the production team? Let's stop the second game for two minutes so I can check the situation. Yes, yes, you can just play the commercial!"

After saying that, he walked down from the monitoring station in a hurry.

Although it is said that the drivers are like shock absorbers, the greater the pressure, the greater the body's rise.

But Zhou Yun just can't do that.

Now let the other Lightyear Project drivers take him as their opponent?
It's like giving a new recruit a pistol, telling him where the trigger and safety are, and then pointing to a tank and saying, "You've learned how to do it. Go and deliver it. No, go and get on it!"

This is the first session, you are the future, you must not lose your composure!

Jiang Wuyang hurried to the starting platform, took a look around, and then returned to the studio.

Looking at Jiang Wuyang who came and went like the wind, Jiang Bin asked in confusion: "Wuyang, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Wu Yang shook his head and turned back to the monitoring room.

Fortunately.

The drivers didn’t lose their mentality, which is good.

But what if they all want to learn drift?
In the Lightyear Project, no one drifts!

How about discussing with Zhou Yun about adding a course and teaching...

Thinking of this, Jiang Wuyang suddenly felt that Zhou Yun seemed to be here to cause trouble.

From the surface, this is just like opening a boxing gym and recruiting students.

Then a student came here because of his reputation. He said, "I want to fight ten people." He raised his fist and said, "I am Ye Wen. Is the floor slippery?"

Wait, that logic is a bit flawed.

It should be "I am Huo Yuanjia".

After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and thought to himself that he would talk about it after the game was over.

So he grabbed the microphone and said, "Please invite Han Yu, the second place in the virtual race points, to the starting dais."

……

"Mr. Zhou Yun, please come this way."

Thor stretched out his hand, motioning Zhou Yun and Jackdaw to sit down in the small room next to the boarding platform, and personally poured them a cup of tea.

"You'll have to stay here for a while until the game is over. Feel free to come to me if you need anything."

Zhou Yun reached out and touched the teacup, then put his hand down after feeling it was very hot.

On the other side, Jackdaw held the teacup in both hands, looked at Zhou Yun quietly, and began to fantasize in his heart.

Should we move the big raccoon, the small raccoon, or the little raccoon into Zhou Yun’s bedroom tonight?
Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

She didn't know why, but she was very happy at that moment.

After making tea, Lei Shen stood aside and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you ran under 8 minutes, far exceeding the pre-race predictions of the competition team."

"It seems that even though you are the starters, you have a very high chance of winning the podium."

The scene on the highway just now kept echoing in her mind, and she felt her heart vessel ripple slightly.

The fun on the track seems wonderful.

Then he handed a card to Zhou Yun: "This is for you."

Zhou Yun picked up the small, jade-like card and examined it for a long time, wondering, "What is this?"

"This is my little gift. You can use it to form a personal contract with me anytime you want."

After saying that, Thor stopped talking.

Zhou Yun was confused for a moment. What did it mean that the machine girl gave him a contract?
Do you want to join the Yunyi team, or do you want me to compete with you?

"For mecha girls, gifts that carry the meaning of a contract are very precious. Sister Lei Shen, do you want to join our team?"

Thor shook his head: "I didn't plan on that. It's just a gift."

"A gift?"

Zhou Yun looked at the card in the hand again and again, thought for a while, took out a plum wrench from behind and handed it to Thor.

"Here, this is my gift, thank you."

Thor lowered his head, looked at the plum-shaped wrench in his hand, then looked at the broken welding marks on the wrench, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Zhou Yun gave a plum blossom wrench as a gift. What does this mean?

"Thank you, I will keep it well."

After saying that, the Thunder God stopped moving and stood quietly behind Zhou Yun.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Yun couldn't help but ask, "Is there any game broadcast here?"

He wanted to see how the next contestants would perform, and was looking forward to it. Would there be any contestant who could make him feel pressured?
"Okay, wait a moment."

……

"Please prepare yourselves, Han Yu, and the robot girl Wu Yue Liu Hua. The match will begin in 30 seconds..."

After hearing the announcement, Han Yu did a set of warm-up exercises and said with a smile, "It's my turn."

Bi Chen wanted to tease Han Yu a little to avenge the face painting incident, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "You crazy man, don't work too hard, be careful."

He knew his old friend's character too well. He was always thinking about finding a strong opponent to compete with, and he wanted to make a breakthrough in the shortest time possible every time.

In order to snatch the opponent's trophy, he completely disregarded his own personal safety and ended up injured every time.

Now, there just happened to be a perfect opponent present, and no one could stop Han Yu's determination to challenge.

After saying that, he punched Han Yu and said, "Forget it, it's useless for me to remind you. Come on."

Han Yu nodded and shouted, "Liuhua, follow me."

Within 8 minutes.

Compared with Zhou Yun, this time he had the advantage of exploring the road in advance, and Liuhua's skills were also very suitable for grinding tires in the early stage and charging on the highway.

As long as I don't make any mistakes, I should be able to run under 8 minutes. Maybe...

It’s time to fight.

He stepped onto the starting platform, looked at the blue sky, took a few deep breaths, and quietly attached a positioning chip to Liuhua's back.

This way you don't have to worry about Liuhua running away after the game.

"What are you doing?" May Liuhua turned around and asked in confusion.

"It's okay, unfold it quickly. Don't worry, I'm definitely not crazy this time."

"really?"

"Of course, hurry up and unfold it. The event team is urging us to do so."

Anyway, we have GPS, so even if you run to Mars and pretend to be a 'Mars rover', I can pull you back.
