Pokémon development strategy

"Distressed..."

"Why are you feeling bad?" Hu Zang shook his head in amusement. "For a racing enthusiast, you have the nerve to complain about feeling bad when you can't even spend 10 baht to modify so many places."

Hu Zang modified another car, and spent two or three hundred thousand yuan on the installation of the turbine, suspension and supporting equipment.

“The financial resources are different.”

Fortunately, Miss Qun'er didn't need the Poké Ball Stand, so she had already dismantled it and installed it on the Little Lamb. Otherwise, Shen Qi would have to spend tens of thousands more.

While waiting for the little sheep to improve to a state that met the competition standards, Shen Qi was not idle either. He quickly began searching for regular season games that he could participate in in the near future.

Light Red City…No.

Vermilion Leaf City had just hosted T3, and there were two regular seasons to come. Unfortunately, Shen Qi had missed the registration period.

Further away, Golden City!

There is a regular season in Golden City, and registration was just announced today.

The first prize is 6b, the second prize is 4b, and the third prize is 3b.

The top 5 participants will receive double reimbursement for energy losses during the competition, and basic maintenance services will be provided.

A very standard low- to mid-tier regular season format.

Golden City is farther away than Kuye City. It is impossible to drive to the destination in one breath, and you must stop and spend a night in the middle.

Buy what you should buy, and pay what you should pay.

After receiving the little lamb, Shen Qi set off directly from Hu Zang's house.

"Go ahead, young racer."

Hu Zang, Bronze Bell and Yongjila bid farewell outside the store.

Shen Qi was quite touched, "Don't be so polite, I will come back."

"Yeah, when you grow up and come back, you'll have to use our modified engine one day."

It seemed like there was such an agreement... The veins on Shen Qi's forehead jumped twice, his emotion disappeared, and he quickly stepped on the accelerator and ran away.

With one step on the pedal, the Lamborghini gives good power feedback, but of course, it is still far behind the Corolla.

There are differences in the quality of B-class engines, and the complete structure of Corolla is a perfect match that has been refined by the Crown Group.

Unlike the Lamborghini, which was originally designed for small merchants to transport goods and small farmers to carry people.

auspicious!

Guji!

It was not a competition stage, so there was no need to worry about weight-bearing. Duoduo and Jigglypuff were playing on the temporary seats in the back.

The atmosphere this time was much better than before.

In the past, when driving a Corolla to participate in competitions, either you were broke and would go bankrupt if you didn't win, or you had some money but had to save it for the expenses of the T3 events.

By the time we participated in the T3 competition, we weren't too busy, but the atmosphere was extremely tense. Mizuki was sitting in the back seat, and Shinichi was driving behind us. It was not a happy occasion.

The capacity of the Lamb's compartment is much larger than that of the Corolla, so Jigglypuff and Duoduo can play around freely and have more and more fun.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make such a fuss. We still have ideals."

Shen Qi drove a long way to Huangjin City, not just to get a feel for it, but the important thing was to participate, and he really wanted to squeeze into the top three and compete for the prize money.

In the past, when I was driving a small Lamborghini, I could beat Miss Skirt with extreme driving skills, so the wish of getting some bonus was not too far away.

Huff!

On a mountain road on the 6th island, a lady in a skirt who was practicing driving sneezed.

Long-eared rabbit: Cold?

Miss Skirt: I always feel like someone is saying bad things about me...

Shen Qi recalled the process of chasing Hua Guan.

Although Miss Skirt's mentality was a bit bad at the time, the Lamborghini was purely an old car with original factory configuration, so she didn't get much advantage.

The old D-class car that beat Miss Skirt with a crown, now Shen Qi has Ji Kee Egg, Duo Duo, and a bunch of racing-related game props. The engine has also been replaced with a B-class one, and the supporting parts have been modified.

It is not a pipe dream to strive for a top three position. Now I have to get my form back.

Shen Qi does not have the same mental problem as Miss Qun'er. The driving awareness accumulated in his previous life is solid, and what has become unfamiliar during this period is the feel of the car.

The driving distance from the 6th Island to Jinhuang City is more than 1000 kilometers including the twists and turns, which is enough for Shen Qi to get used to it.

"Ah, my own car is so comfortable."

The Little Lamb is equipped with a racing bucket seat that is suitable for ordinary people. It is finally not the small Pokémon type on the Corolla that can squeeze your buttocks flat. The driving experience is instantly improved.

Boom!

After hitting the obstacle on the ground, the little lamb jumped up suddenly, and Jigglypuff and Duoduo laughed heartily.

"Shen Qi's car is shaking so much!"

Guji!

For the Pokémon at the back, the car's poor suspension actually brought them fun.

Shen Qi knew very well that the shock absorbers and suspension of the Lamborghini could not compare with those of the Corolla.

The shock absorbers are divided into front and rear wheels. The rear wheels of the Lamborghini are of a "torsion beam" structure, which can be understood as a very tough alloy connecting the two wheels. The impact and vibration are partially absorbed by the flexibility of the alloy.

It still sounds very hard, and can't be compared with springs or anything like that.

The advantage of a torsion beam is that it is durable. It is just a stick, so it does not have so many mechanical failures and is not easy to break. It is often used in off-road vehicles.

The front wheel of the Lamborghini is a straight-up and straight-down single-arm shock absorber. Some bicycle front wheels have a similar structure, which can alleviate up and down bumps, but has very poor shock-absorbing effect on left and right or tilted bumps.

Just like the torsion beam, the simpler the shock absorber's structure, the worse the effect, which also means it is less likely to fail.

Chapter 243: Kanto's Most Prosperous City

auspicious!

In the back seat, Jigglypuff suddenly found that the car was not so bumpy anymore.

It’s obviously the same mountain road, but the suspension of the Lamborghini seems to be much better.

This is Shen Qi's first time using [Adaptive Suspension].

The original front wheel shock absorber of the Lamborghini is a single-arm suspension with a rod and a spring. It should be called "McPherson suspension" before crossing. It can only provide a certain buffering effect on up and down vibrations like a bicycle.

Through [Adaptive Suspension], Shen Qi added some structure to the front wheel shock absorber, turning it into a double wishbone type.

Without going into complicated descriptions, a simple introduction is that in strong winds and heavy rain, holding an umbrella in one hand becomes holding an umbrella in two hands, and the direction and intensity of the wind you have to fight against will of course increase.

There is also a "multi-link suspension" after the double wishbone, which can also be understood as more hand-held umbrellas and more stability in messy airflow.

"Duoduo, come."

Guji?

Porygon jumped to the co-pilot seat. There was no seat here, only a Poké Ball rack.

"Go into the car's central control computer and help me flash the program."

Decades ago, when driving computers were not yet popular, stepping on the accelerator was actually a mechanical mechanism. The pedal pulled a wire that pulled the cover of the oil outlet, and stepping on the pedal opened the cover to release oil.

It's a bit like a trash can at home. When you step on the small raised pedal, the lid will open.

Today's cars are almost all equipped with on-board computers, which sense the signals from the accelerator and brake being pressed and allow the car to execute corresponding instructions.

The factory design of the on-board computer is generally conservative, and only 70% to 80% of the full force can be used. This is for safety reasons, as well as to reduce the failure rate and increase durability.

Since you are participating in the competition, you must disable the conservative settings of the on-board computer.

This practice is commonly known as "flashing the program" or "first-order modification".

This means not changing the hardware but only working on the program and software.

Porygon touched the on-board computer and said that the content inside was very simple.

After all, it is a small model, and the manufacturer did not install very good computers and programs.

Some high-end car on-board computers are equipped with assisted steering, deviation correction, anti-skid measures and other functions, while the Lamborghini ones are mainly limited in addition and subtraction.

"It's simple. Please help me release the throttle limit and the spark plug..."

As Porygon operated, Shen Qi clearly felt the increased power feedback after he stepped on the accelerator.

The continuation of the on-board computer will not actually increase the power of the engine, but will only remove the settings that were originally limited to family cars.

One must hold a racing driver's license to change the original safety program to this level. In the past, Shen Qi could only watch Miss Qun'er modify the program and enjoy it.

On the dashboard, the speed of the Lamborghini continued to increase.

Speed ​​80 km/h…100 km/h…120 km/h…150 km/h…

The engine's upper limit has not been reached yet, and the road ahead is no longer a straight line. Shen Qi asked Jigglypuff to cancel the gain effect and slow down.

"It's worthy of being a Class B car engine."

The original Lamborghini can accelerate all the way in a straight line and can reach a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, but the acceleration process after 80 kilometers per hour is very difficult.

This type of vehicle is used for hauling goods and has good torque, but there is no need for manufacturers to set the horsepower limit too high as ordinary people cannot use it.

Keep trying new things.

Shen Qi opens the [Global Eye].

A surveillance probe with an all-round vision floated up and shared the observed images into Shen Qi's brain.

The special props obtained through settlement in "The End of Omnic" are only visible to players, such as the [Skill Analysis Glasses], which is just a translucent display interface.

The same goes for [Global Eye]. It has no entity and can penetrate the roof and float out, at most a little over one meter away from Shen Qi.

In this way, you can really get a view from directly above the Lamborghini. Most racing games have such a roof perspective, and players can intuitively feel what the road looks like.

There was a left-turning corner ahead, and the [Global Eye] drifted a little to the right, allowing Shen Qi to gain an advance view of the view after the turn.

From the 2nd Island, we boarded a ship to the Light Red City. The journey to the Golden Yellow City was long, so Shen Qi spent a night here and set off as usual the next day. While getting familiar with the operation of the Little Sheep, he tested various game props and gameplay.

Shen Qi has a lot of auxiliary means, but the problem now is that he cannot use them flexibly.

When concentrating on driving, you should not be distracted. You need to adjust the most core [adaptive tires], [racing energy], and then open the [global eye].

It is impossible to look at the [Skill Analysis Glasses] again.

Using his skills occasionally was already Shen Qi's limit.

Fortunately, the [adaptable rear wing] does not require too much attention. Just leave it there. It will not take effect at low speeds, but will naturally have downforce at high speeds.

“It was a bit hectic.”

With so many operational contents, if done well, the upper limit of the little sheep will be infinitely raised. However, Shen Qi can only master 60% to 70% of them at most, and he still has to pay attention and cooperate with Pokémon.

The champagne-colored road sign ahead indicates that you are about to arrive in Golden City.

After traveling more than a thousand kilometers, Shen Qi felt that he had not practiced enough. He was still not even close to mastering the game props like [Adaptive Turbine], which required more complex understanding.

Guji!

Duoduo happily clung to the glass, expressing his admiration for the beautiful city.

Golden City, the largest and most prosperous city in the entire Kanto region.

Despite its unique advantages in shipping, the City of Dead Leaves still loses slightly to the City of Golden Yellow.

The roads are straight and wide, and the street lights are of uniform standard.

When discussing the strength of a city, sometimes it is not about how many commercial centers it has, but about its infrastructure.

The road planning of Huangjin City is very scientific, and they are willing to invest money in infrastructure. Not only are the driving roads excellent, but there are also pedestrian bridges, underground passages, and even plastic paths for bicycles.

In a super first-tier city where every inch of land is valuable, it is truly commendable that they would use the land in this way.

Of course, the price of living here will definitely not be low. Shen Qi booked an ordinary chain hotel, which is located on the outer ring of Jinhuang City, and it still costs 300b a night.

auspicious!

On the street, Jigglypuff was pointing at the whale king pillow in the window and saying something to Duoduo.

Shen Qi sighed, Jilidan is a girl after all, and she likes big and soft pillows.
