This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 78 Oh my god, I found a treasure!

After dividing up the 'Spirit Deer Gift Pack', Zhou Yun returned to his room.

While he was studying the 'Season Battle Pass', he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

"Zhou Yun, the tournament team has released the details of the second scenario, the Yun City S Tournament, which will begin on April 4th."

Feng was wearing a wide sweater with maple leaves printed all over it. She walked to Zhou Yun and placed a thumb-thick document in front of him.

"I've already compiled the information you requested about the local competitions in Jingyun City."

Zhou Yun took the information Feng handed over and was immediately shocked.

"Ten years ago, Jingyun City's first mecha girl competition opened in Zongyun Mountain. It was hosted by Mr. Li Zhechen of Leishan Machinery, and the investor was Chen Shanhe..."

Wow, he just said it casually, but Feng took out... a book?

In the book, Feng elaborated on the development history of the Jingyun City Mecha Girl Competition, and clearly described every competition in the past twenty years.

Who are the investors, who are the drivers, what kind of modifications are used, what are the mecha girl's skills, what are the talent engravings...

No matter the details.

"me……"

Zhou Yun suddenly realized that he was a little lost.

So serious!
"If you want to try out local competitions, try this."

Feng flipped the book to the thirteenth page: "The Jingyun City Spring Exhibition Tournament, which was held three years before the S Tournament, will be held on March 3rd of this year. The track overlaps with the second S Tournament..."

Zhou Yun looked at the competition catalog, then turned to look at Feng and said, "You really... need a pair of glasses."

"My eyesight isn't damaged, and glasses aren't very useful for mecha girls..." She paused, "Okay, I'll go buy a pair later."

"I'm just kidding!"

Zhou Yun smiled bitterly: "You really don't need to be so restrained, just treat this place as your own home."

"Home?"

Feng murmured something, as if he thought of something, and was silent for a long time.

Then she smiled and said, "Just take your time to research the competition. The funds for the event have arrived. I found that the team is eligible for Jingyun City's tax reduction policy, so I tried to apply for it."

"The tax rate was reduced by 15%, and the total amount received was million."

Hearing this news, Zhou Yun blinked his eyes. Feng... is so capable.

"However..." Feng was silent for a moment before saying, "Although the bonus has arrived, the team's funds are still tight."

"How to say?"

"Your 'drifting' style of running is so expensive! Money!"

Feng sat next to Zhou Yun. "The Jackdaw's gearbox needs to be replaced after every race. According to your drawings, the factory needs to open a separate production line, re-mould and customize it, and also import 'spiritual pressure materials' from the world of mecha girls. The price is unbearable!"

"And you have to modify the suspension, brakes, and differential individually. The cost on a Jackdaw for one race is over a million!"

"What will you do if Yinling and Fengying want to enter the competition venue in the future?"

"How much bonus and investment is enough for you to cause such trouble?"

In response to this, Zhou Yun sighed helplessly.

Who said that the gearbox required for 'Drift' and the native gearbox of this world are completely two different systems?

Moreover, more and more money will be burned in the future.

The modification of the mecha girl is different from that of an everyday car. When the mecha girl releases her skills, the horsepower, speed, torque, air intake... will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The gearbox, built entirely based on past life experience, can't handle this.

Using the local gearbox, he couldn't perform the "launch start" and the drift was not smooth, so he needed to combine local industry and improve the gearbox step by step according to the unique properties of the Jackdaw.

He had thought about this problem before the game, but there was no time to solve it at that time.

Now that time has slowed down, he wants to study this. However, as everyone knows, R&D is a black hole that consumes money.

If you want to try out the perfect structure bit by bit, the amount of money you spend is unpredictable.

"Feng, if you want to carve out your own path, you must be prepared to pay the price." Zhou Yun said seriously: "For the championship, I won't easily change my running style. I..."

"I didn't ask you to change your running style. I also know that you can't give up the championship for money."

Feng took out his iPad and displayed a gearbox blueprint: "I looked at your drawing and tried to keep your ideas and designed a more cost-effective solution."

"Furthermore, this can also effectively solve the speed loss and gear wear caused by gear shifting during the Jackdaw's 'drifting' post-ejection process..."

Feng showed the drawings page by page, and at the end there was an animation demonstration, simulating the movement of the gearbox in the jet state after the jackdaw's 'drift'.

"The gearbox is a 'speed-changing unit' created by humans to control the mecha girl, and it's directly integrated into the mecha girl's transmission structure."

"The mecha-girl didn't originally use this, but a different, more complex system. It was removed to accommodate human contractors... Never mind. I'll give you some internal information later. You can read it yourself."

"Let me explain briefly. The modified module of the Flame Tribe, Type B branch, including the clutch plate structure, is very similar to your design. You can take it and modify it and use it."

"The Moonlight Tribe, the C-type branch module, has a gear set. Do you think it would be suitable for use here?"

Feng was getting more and more excited as he spoke: "These are all cheap goods. You can buy them with a little money. You can even recycle them at the scrap yard. Bring them back and I'll modify them so they're usable..."

"These, plus some custom parts, will cost a hundred and fifty thousand for a set..."

"And this is all pure Reiatsu material! What the mecha-girls can sense is completely different from the 'Reiatsu material' modified by humans!"

Zhou Yun won't do it again.

This is truly a blind spot for time travelers!

He really couldn't imagine that the gearbox could be made from parts removed from the mecha modules of other tribes!
The prices of these low-level mecha girl modules of these large tribes have all dropped due to the terrifying production volume.

Using these to build a gearbox is much cheaper than customizing it, and it works great too...

"I……"

Mom!
Found a treasure!

Zhao Wen...you really are my money-bringing boy!
"Awesome! Your idea is really brilliant."

Zhou Yun exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart, then pulled out a piece of white paper from the side and began to draw with a brush: "But the overall design is still a little lacking. I already thought about how to improve it last night..."

He and Feng chatted for the entire afternoon, from the gearbox to the suspension design, to the braking system, and continued until the evening.

Feng also opened up and all kinds of amazing ideas came out.

Zhou Yun felt happy. Now, the fruits of his racing industry from his previous life could finally come to fruition in this world.

He patted Feng's shoulder and spoke very seriously.

"Feng, from today on, you are the engineering director of the Yunyi Racing Team!"

Feng was stunned.

"Am I not an accountant and secretary, part-time operations manager, logistics manager, marketing planner, and the person in charge of the management of the girls?"

……

After Feng left, Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

Just like an old man reading a newspaper, he read the 'Season Battle Pass'.

This is a collection of rewards, and drivers will upgrade their 'Battle Pass Level' based on their personal points in each race during the season.

Different levels will have different rewards. Every 5 levels there will be a 'Season Cube' that can give out random rewards.

Looking at the interface of the 'Season Battle Pass', he felt it looked more and more familiar.

In this way, drivers are encouraged to compete and rank higher this season...

"Which mobile game was this copied from?"
