In fact, Honda Ichiro's estimation was wrong.
He said that there would be 200,000 people watching the race in Yuzhang City. However, when they saw the dense crowd lining up on both sides of the road, they knew that they were wrong. At this time, there were at least 500,000 people watching the race. This was normal.
After all, there was no Internet in this era, and the entertainment value of TV was not as good as in the modern era. The vast majority of people preferred outdoor entertainment activities instead of staying at home.
However, there were very few entertainment activities in this era. There was not even square dancing. Suddenly, there was a race that was going to close the city's roads. At the same time, the whole country was paying attention to it. This was a race that was related to the honor of the nation. Who in Yuzhang City would miss such a grand event?
In fact, according to the post-event statistics, almost 800,000 people ran to the side of the road to watch the race. There were also many people from other cities in Xijiang Province. Some people even deliberately came from other provinces to watch this amazing race. Anyway, the road was long enough to accommodate a large number of people, unlike the stadium, which had a limit on the number of people.
There were so many people watching the race. There were more than a dozen cameras behind them, more than 10 vans ready to follow them, and even a helicopter flying in the sky. All these told the 10 contestants that this might be the peak of their lives, even if the average age of the 10 contestants was only 14 years old.
Soon, the time of the race gradually came. The 10 contestants appeared at the starting point of the race one after another. More than a dozen cameras were aimed at them. It was worth mentioning that among the 10 contestants, there was a young man in his twenties. He was holding Liu Qingmei's Pure White Angel in his hand.
This was naturally Jia Yapeng. According to the Four-wheel Drive Fighter's explanation, contestant Liu Qingmei couldn't participate in such a high-intensity competition due to her body condition. Contestant Liu Qingmei hoped that comrade Jia Yapeng could control her Pure White Angel to participate in the competition.
At the same time, because someone else was competing on her behalf, Jia Yapeng was restricted. The other contestants could change the parts of their cars when they encountered different tracks.
However, Jia Yapeng was not allowed to do so. Jia Yapeng was only allowed to put the racecar back on the track or change the battery of the dead racecar. In any case, Jia Yapeng's task was to ensure that the racecar could continue running normally. He had no other rights.
This rule was to maintain the fairness of the competition. At the same time, Fusang had also agreed to this request. Otherwise, no substitutions were allowed.
"Jia Yapeng is really interesting. I didn't expect that he would personally participate in this competition!" At the starting point, Honda Ichiro looked at Jia Yapeng beside him and laughed.
"I actually really like mini 4WD cars!! I almost went to Fusang to participate in the competition! " Jia Yapeng said with a smile, "But this is also helping me realize my dream. Why not?"
"That's true. If possible, I would also like to go up there and run!" Honda Ichiro said with a fake smile, "By the way, I don't know what parts Manager Jia has prepared. Anyway, it's about to be registered and can't be changed. Why don't you show it to me?"
"No problem!" Jia Yapeng readily opened a small backpack on his body and showed it to Honda Ichiro. Then, Honda Ichiro was surprised to find that the backpack was filled with golden Daqian gold rechargeable batteries.
"Jia Yapeng, you actually carried nine sets of batteries. Is this necessary?" Honda Ichiro exclaimed.
"Mr. Honda, do you think I want to carry nine sets of batteries? I can only carry nine sets of batteries! " Jia Yapeng said with a wry smile, "You forgot that my ability is limited. I can't do anything except change the batteries. Naturally, I can only carry nine sets of batteries!"
"That's true. Hahahaha!!" Honda Ichiro suddenly realized. Yes, what else can this guy do besides carrying batteries?
Soon, all the contestants' parts were registered. According to the rules, as long as the parts they carried were registered and photographed, the contestants could not change any of the parts other than the nine parts in the competition. At the same time, the registration form would be sent to the two teams.
"It seems that there will definitely be underwater racing tracks and ramps!" After looking at Hua Xia's registered parts, Shōichi Tamiya immediately said, "All of their parts have underwater tires, waterproof engines, fully enclosed chassis, and torsion-specific engines. They also have an additional set of metal gear transmission system. It seems that these are the characteristics of this track!"
"Mr. Kojima, it seems that you are in luck!" Shōichi Tamiya looked at Hideo Kojima meaningfully. Hideo Kojima nodded. In yesterday's battle meeting, the parts he was assigned were waterproof and torsion-specific parts, which were basically the same as the parts carried by Hua Xia. Therefore, the characteristics of this track seemed to be specially prepared for Hideo Kojima.
"But each of Hua Xia's members carried three extra sets of batteries. Isn't this a bit too much?" Shōichi Tamiya muttered, shaking his head as he looked at the other party's list again.
"This is normal. It's underwater and ramps. The consumption of batteries is particularly high. In addition, Hua Xia's batteries are not of good quality. It's normal to prepare three extra sets of batteries!" Ichiro Honda laughed.
"But we only prepared one extra set of batteries. Will that be enough?" Shōichi Tamiya was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Shōichi. One set of batteries can run 10 kilometers at full speed. Two sets of batteries can run 20 kilometers at full speed. If we take into account the deceleration speed, it won't be a problem to run 40 kilometers!" Ichiro Honda laughed.
"I removed a part and brought two extra sets of batteries!" Hideo Kojima suddenly said.
"Mr. Kojima, you have violated my tactics!" Shōichi Tamiya frowned. He looked at his own registration list and realized that Hideo Kojima did not prepare the parts as he had requested last night.
"The track is so long. It's not a bad thing to prepare an extra set of batteries! You are not qualified to guide me, Shōichi Senpai! "Hideo Kojima said in a low voice. Shōichi Tamiya had nothing to say. Hideo Kojima was the Fusang champion for three consecutive years. Although he called Shōichi Tamiya Senpai, his achievements and professional status were far superior to Shōichi Tamiya's. Shōichi Tamiya was indeed not qualified to teach him a lesson.
After the final parts were registered, the referee announced that all the contestants were in position. The 10 cars all started their engines and were placed side by side on the track. They were blocked by a baffle.
The next second, the baffle fell at the same time. The 10 mini 4WDs rushed out at the same time. The race had officially begun.
At the same time, all the contestants got on their bicycles and chased after their mini 4WDs. They also rushed out very quickly.
"Okay, now let me, the 4WD Fighter, show you the race!" The 4WD Fighter sat in a van at a constant speed. There was a certain distance between him and the contestants on the track. Because he was sitting in a car, it would be bad if he was too close to the contestants and hit them.
"The next track, which is about 300 meters long, is a straight track. It's the most suitable track for the speedy mini 4WDs. Let's see which contestant has the advantage at the beginning of the race!" The 4WD Fighter said excitedly. At the same time, the camera was aimed at the racing car at the front. Then everyone found that at this time, there were two cars rushing at the front, side by side.
"It's the car of Mr. Kojima and Hua Xia. Damn it, how can Hua Xia's car be so fast? It's on par with our strongest engine! "Seeing the two cars running at the front, Ichiro Honda said in shock.
The car that was on par with them at this time was Liu Nian's Evangelion.
