Master Realm!
Xia Fei stood up, his fingers moving nimbly on the universal pliers, adjusting the ports he needed.
Letting out a long sigh, Xia Fei began to dismantle the parts he had already assembled.
Xia Fei was a speed ability user, so he was extremely fast when he moved, and he was very skilled with his hands.
One by one, the unwanted parts fell from the car like rain, landing on the ground with a crisp sound.
There was an empty box next to the hovercar. With a light flick of his wrist, a transmission shaft made a beautiful arc as it fell into the box. These were the parts that he would be using later, and Xia Fei placed them in a separate corner.
Moon Song, Chen Dong, Beihai, and Manjun looked at Xia Fei's actions in shock. Be it his hands, his proficiency, or his logic, Xia Fei was far superior to these half-baked mechanics.
The hovercar that had taken them several days to assemble was dismantled in less than an hour by Xia Feis hands, leaving only an empty chassis lying on the ground.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and took out a few grinders of different sizes from the toolbox, placing them side by side.
These grinders looked like toothbrushes, and the handle was connected to a grinding drill. Extreme hovercars did not allow the use of unspecified parts, but modifying the original parts was still possible.
Xia Fei picked up a transmission shaft and used a small grinder to carefully modify the shaft according to what he had in mind.
His attitude was extremely serious, like an artist carving a sculpture.
The grinder made a small sound, like a bug waiting in the corner of the wall, singing in a low voice.
A short and fat cadet accidentally discovered Xia Fei. He curiously walked over, rubbing his chin as he observed Xia Fei's actions.
Another of his teammates also walked over. "What is he doing?"
The short and fat cadet shook his head. Dunno. Seems to be modifying the drive shaft.
Why is he modifying the drive shaft?
Dunno.
Xia Fei used three of his fingers to hold the grinder, his wrists evenly and without a hint of trembling. The drill bit gently rotated around the roller twice, and Xia Fei raised the roller up to the light in the warehouse and carefully observed it.
After confirming that it was perfect, the corner of Xia Fei's lips curled up slightly as he placed the roller where it should be.
Just like that, Xia Fei modified a component and installed another one, following his train of thought in an orderly manner. He was not too fast, but he was very meticulous, striving for perfection in every detail.
The crowd began to slowly surround the assembly area where Xia Fei was, all of them wearing a strange expression.
"Why would he install the energy converter so close to the driver's seat? And he even modified the pressure tube of the converter? "A blonde man muttered to himself.
The people around him shook their heads in confusion.
"Oh my god! He actually lowered the speed lever from sixth gear to third gear!? Did he not know about the Law of Energy Explosion? Too few gears will increase the load on the engine, "a black-faced man asked in surprise.
The crowd shook their heads once more. "Strange. This is too strange. I've never seen anyone assemble an extreme racing hovercar like this."
An honest-looking cadet pondered for a long time before saying, "I've been racing extreme racers since I was seven, and I've been racing for twenty years. Why can't I understand what he's doing?"
Ugh.
The onlookers were speechless. Actually, no one in this crowd could understand what Xia Fei was doing, but they all wanted to save face, so they did not say it out loud.
Having been pointed out by this honest-looking cadet, these self-proclaimed extreme racers could not help but feel ashamed. They had never seen Xia Fei play like this in their entire lives.
Xia Fei's way of assembling the hovercar was extremely crazy. Many of the key components that these experts deemed absolutely impossible to modify, such as the energy transmission unit and the balance system, were all modified by Xia Fei.
It must be mentioned that an extreme racing hovercar could reach a maximum speed of several thousand meters per second, and the energy it could unleash was unparalleled. The core system needed to be extremely precise, and even the slightest bit of carelessness could result in the hovercar being destroyed.
Once such a huge amount of energy was unleashed, even a racer with the protection of a high-grade protective suit would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, very few people would take the risk of modifying the energy transmission unit, for it was simply too dangerous. The design of a racing hovercar required countless engineers to repeatedly calculate and conduct numerous tests on the road to determine the final, safe plan.
However, Xia Fei had boldly modified the energy transmission unit based on his own understanding and intuition. This was an extremely crazy move!
"Madman! He really is a madman!" A brawny man was stunned, his arms crossed as he exclaimed, "How could he add a double amplification system to the energy transmission unit? This is a hovercar, not a rocket! "
"Heh, he's a madman to begin with."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you heard of the name Xia Fei?"
The brawny man nodded. "Oh, the Madman Xia who battled with Chen Dong for twenty-one days. I heard that he's already arrived at the training camp."
"That's right. The person you're looking at right now is none other than Madman Xia."
"Him?" The brawny man shook his head. "He doesn't look like him at all. The Xia Fei on TV is quite handsome, but isn't this one a little too sloppy and ordinary?"
"That's right. The image on TV has gone through twelve layers of processing, so it's very different from the person himself."
The brawny man nodded solemnly. "So he's Madman Xia. Only a madman like him could do something so crazy."
Originally, Bai Ye's assembly area was filled with spectators, all of them praising his assembly skills, but now, these people had all run over to Xia Fei's side, and Bai Ye's assembly area had become deserted.
Bai Ye coldly harrumphed, glaring at Xia Fei unkindly, believing that Xia Fei had stolen his limelight.
Actually, Xia Fei was really innocent. Once he got serious, he would put in two hundred percent of his focus, and everything else around him would be nonexistent. No matter how many spectators there were, they would not be able to disturb Xia Fei in the slightest.
His mind was currently filled with thoughts on how to assemble the hovercar and optimize its performance. All he could see was the machinery and the parts. Even if a naked beauty were to walk past Xia Fei right now, he would not even spare her a glance.
Xia Fei's all-out focus made Moon Song very excited, as if she could see the dawn of victory. Xia Fei's forehead was dripping with sweat, and Moon Song hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it off for him, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush.
Xia Fei very ungratefully pushed Moon Song to the side, showing no tenderness for the fairer sex at all.
He was in a state of extreme excitement, so he would reject any disturbances without thinking, even if they were done out of kindness and concern.
Coincidentally, his push just happened to land on Moon Song's plump breasts. Xia Fei felt a little weird, but he did not pay any attention to it, retracting his hand and continuing with his work.
Moon Song hurriedly covered her chest with her hand, her expression both embarrassed and angry.
Very soon, she realized that Xia Fei's action was completely unintentional. Moon Song's eyes shone brightly. Not only did she not blame Xia Fei, but she was even more impressed by his serious attitude.
Bai Ye, who was not far away, saw all of this. He gritted his teeth, revealing a fierce look in his eyes.
A sallow-faced man in his fifties walked into the garage with his hands behind his back. He was none other than Rocky, the head of the mechatronics division.
The mechatronics division had sent over forty teams to participate in this hovercar race, which was practically all the cadets in the mechatronics division. That was why Rocky would come to the garage every day to check on the cadets and give them some pointers.
The mechatronics division was the smallest division out of all the divisions, mainly established to train mechanical engineers. Most of the cadets were math, geometry, or physics ability users.
Aside from the annual hovercar race where the mechatronics division would shine, the rest of the time, the mechatronics division would only serve as a foil to the other divisions. That was why this was the busiest and most exciting time for Rocky every year.
Hmm? What are they looking at? Rocky noticed something strange going on in the garage and muttered to himself curiously.
He hurried over to the assembly area where Xia Fei was and watched him work.
Just like the cadets, Rocky was getting more and more shocked the more he watched, his heart thumping wildly.
The performance of a hovercar was like a long, diagonal line. It would take some time for it to reach its maximum performance.
Xia Fei was doing his best to make this diagonal line steeper, hoping to minimize the time needed to reach its maximum performance and achieve a faster acceleration.
In order to increase the hovercar's performance, Xia Fei had also made some modifications to all the components, making the most reasonable adjustments to the mounting positions of the components.
More importantly, Xia Fei had made a lot of sacrifices.
Although the word "sacrifice" sounded simple, it was the highest realm of modification technology.
Modifying a hovercar did not mean that it would be better to have more parts installed. The more parts there were, the more complicated it would be to control the hovercar. Too many components would also make the hovercar too heavy, which would affect its acceleration and maximum speed.
Rocky suddenly remembered a story he had heard a long time ago. It was about a wise man and a farmer who had encountered a patch of sharp thorns at the same time. The wise man crouched down and searched for the best route to pass through the thorns, hoping to avoid getting injured by these sharp thorns.
The farmer only took a glance before he took large strides through the thorns without hesitation. Though his legs were already dripping with blood, he had already left the thorns far behind him. Meanwhile, the wise man was still thinking hard about how to pass through the thorns.
The wise man thought that he was very smart, but he did not know that he had already been left far behind by the farmer.
It was obvious that Xia Fei was that fearless farmer. He had no intention of winning the race without paying any price.
On the contrary, he was already prepared to pay the price to win the race.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. One had to pay in order to get something, and Xia Fei understood this very well. That was why he had been frantically modifying and improving the hovercar's performance, discarding all the parts that he could, even if it meant sacrificing some safety.
Xia Fei's assembly skills were not the best, and his modification of the parts was not the best, either.
However, Xia Fei's modification skills were already far ahead of all the other participants.
Daring to take risks and daring to give up, this was the true realm of a master.
The realm of a master was a realm of madness that no one could hope to reach.
If one had yet to reach the realm of a master, it could only mean that one was not stubborn enough. Not crazy enough. Not paranoid enough.
This was a society where only the paranoid could survive, and Xia Fei was the craziest and most stubborn paranoid.
Rocky furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time before he turned and strode out, his face wild with joy.
"The realm of a master."
