The DNA Race Track sounded like a very cool name, and it was actually quite cool. This was a race track designed by Jia Yapeng based on the DNA double helix structure.
The entire race track imitated the double helix structure of DNA. The two tracks were intertwined, and the car had to escape the control of gravity. It had to rely on high-speed centrifugal movement.
The scariest part of this race track was that the entire race track was 500 meters long, and there were no stops in the middle. This required a high speed for the car. If the car wasn't fast enough and couldn't escape the control of gravity, it would directly fall off the track, and it might even be smashed into pieces.
"Hua Xia is so interesting. There's actually such an interesting race track!!!" Kojima Hideo, who was at the front, looked excited when he saw the race track. In fact, he wasn't interested in the affairs between countries. Only an intense, unprecedented, and interesting race track could excite Kojima Hideo.
Soon, Kojima Hideo's Alloy Warhead rushed directly into the race track, and then continued to roll on the track at an amazing speed. The audience cheered. The race track might not be difficult, but it was definitely enjoyable. Especially the 500-meter DNA Double Helix Race Track, the effect was explosive!
The direct result was that after watching this race live, many players who had only run some ordinary race tracks in front of the snack shop were dissatisfied. They strongly requested to run the DNA Double Helix Race Track, but the Daqian Race Track was sold at a fraudulent price of 600 yuan per set, and it was only an added component. This made many bosses hesitate.
In the end, it proved that those who struck first would gain the upper hand, and those who struck last would suffer. The boss who was willing to pay first successfully attracted a large number of customers, and the other bosses could only follow suit. In the end, the race track was updated, and all the money went into Mr. Jia's pocket.
Back to the topic at hand, Kojima's Alloy Bullet was excellent. Throughout the entire 500 meters of the DNA Double Helix Racetrack, she didn't make a single mistake. She passed the entire racetrack smoothly.
The same was true for the Evangelion on the side. The other 4 Fusang racers behind him also passed smoothly, except for 2 who left the track once.
However, the Hua Xia contestants at the back were in a bit of trouble. Starting from Jia Yapeng, everyone's car was constantly unable to escape the control of gravity due to the lack of speed. They accidentally fell to the ground and could only be put back. Especially Jia Yapeng at the end, the Pure White Angel fell five times, which was the car with the most crashes among all the cars.
By the time the DNA double helix race ended, there was a two-minute gap between Jia Jiayue and the top two. The gap between him and Jia Yapeng had officially widened by nearly three and a half minutes.
"It's over. Looks like I can only count on the Evangelion!" Seeing this, the audience who were watching the live broadcast felt a little desperate. They didn't expect the gap to be so obvious. Could it be that the Fusangpeople's cars are really better? Are we inferior to the Fusangpeople?
At the same time, the audience also noticed that Jia Yapeng had changed the battery of the Pure White Angel's DNA Double Helix Racetrack halfway through.
What did this mean?
Did the Pure White Angel's battery run out? Were the batteries manufactured by Hua Xia so bad?
No, the Daqian Group was the worst. Their components were so expensive, but if the battery was still this bad, then they were simply cheating people!
A strong feeling of disappointment began to accumulate and spread in the hearts of the audience.
In fact, it wasn't just the Pure White Angel. After leaving the DNA Double Helix Racetrack, many of the Fusang racers felt a slight change in speed.
The change in speed was only a few tenths of a meter per second. It was very difficult for ordinary players to notice, but for the professional racers, it was a bad sign.
This meant that their batteries were no longer at their optimal state. If they were at 100%, then they were no longer at 90%. The battery supply had decreased a little.
"Fortunately, we can hold on for a while!" The Fusang racers felt a little uneasy, but 90% of the battery was still very sufficient. A few tenths of a meter per second wouldn't affect them too much. Moreover, the racetrack had returned to a straight line, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
With this thought in mind, the Fusang racers continued to chase the racetrack. Then, they suddenly felt a headache coming on.
The racetrack had left Bayi Avenue and turned into Qingshan South Road. As soon as the racers turned the corner, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Because the road was full of all kinds of crooked curves, not a single one of them was straight. At a rough count, there were probably more than three digits of curves on the entire road.
"Change the parts!" Almost all the racers sped over and picked up the racetrack. They began to change the guide wheels as fast as they could. Only the guide wheels could allow the racetrack to continue in this devil's curve.
The fastest racer was Hideo Kojima. He changed the guide wheels at an unimaginable speed. It only took him 12 seconds to install the guide wheels on the entire racetrack.
Liu Nian wasn't as fast as Hideo Kojima. He was slower by about five seconds. These five seconds allowed him to completely fall behind Hideo Kojima.
After that, both the Fusang racers and Hua Xia racers chose to change the guide wheels. The guide wheels were a necessary part for everyone. After all, it was impossible for a racetrack to have no curves.
There was still one racer who didn't choose to change the guide wheels and rushed into the curve. This racer was Pure White Angel, who was at the back.
Well, it didn't matter if she didn't change, because the Pure White Angel had already installed the guide wheels. She had already installed the guide wheels when she set off, which was why the Pure White Angel fell behind. After all, she was running with the weight of the guide wheels, so her speed was definitely slower.
Because Jia Yapeng didn't allow any modifications to be made to the 4WD, she had to install the guide wheels in advance. Otherwise, Pure White Angel wouldn't be able to make it through this terrible curve.
However, after Pure White Angel entered the curve, her advantage was revealed. Liu Qingmei was best at modifying the racetrack's stability. She had set a record of never falling off the racetrack in a race.
The track in front of her was full of twists and turns. For Pure White Angel, it was the best battlefield. She maintained a steady speed and continued to move forward. She didn't even flip over once.
It must be known that even Alloy Bullet and Evangelion at the front couldn't avoid flipping over. Because they were too fast, even if they installed the guide wheels, it was inevitable that they would flip over. But these two were both modification experts, so the number of times they flipped over was very low. By the time they broke free from the terrifying curve, they had flipped over about 5 times.
Fusang and Hua Xia behind them had flipped over more than 10 times. So by the time they rushed out of the curve, the gap between them and the second echelon increased.
But when the second echelon of Fusangpeople rushed out of the racetrack one after another, they found that there was a stranger between them.
The Pure White Angel had unknowingly made her way out and was right behind them. She had already surpassed all of her Huaxia opponents.
When Fusang stopped and removed the guide wheels, Pure White Angel skipped this step and directly rushed to the front, entering the third place.
Pure White Angel went from the last place to the third place. This change made all the spectators cheer excitedly.
"Idiot, I'll let you be proud for a while. Once you remove the guide wheel, we'll be able to catch up to you!" the Japanese contestants muttered. After more than 20 seconds, they finally removed the guide wheel.
But when they were about to catch up to Pure White Angel again, they suddenly found that their speed had decreased by a lot.
It wasn't a decrease of a few tenths of a meter per second, but nearly a meter per second. Although this speed was still faster than Hua Xia's car, it wasn't much different.
"How can this be? We've only run 3 kilometers. How can the battery drop so fast? It's already less than 75%? " Seeing the speed of the car, the professional racers immediately estimated the remaining battery of their car.
It should be known that this was the amount of battery that would normally be used when running more than 6 kilometers!
"Idiot, although the two tracks are 3 kilometers long, they are all curves and have to fight against gravity. These tracks use too much battery. We've already used up 6 kilometers' worth of battery in just 3 kilometers!" a Fusang player gritted his teeth and said.
"Then what should we do? We originally planned to change the battery at the ninth kilometer, but now I'm afraid we won't be able to last that long! "a Fusang player said.
"It's fine. We'll keep running like this. We use battery, but so does Hua Xia. Let's see who's afraid!" a Fusang player said confidently.
— — —
"Sigh, it's time to change the battery!" Kojima Xiu sighed, stopped his car, and started changing the battery.
At this time, the race had already run 6 kilometers. According to the original plan, they should change the battery at the ninth kilometer mark, but Kojima Xiu's alloy bullet couldn't take it anymore. The car's speed continued to decrease, and Liu Nian was about to pull away. Kojima Xiu had no choice but to change the battery. Otherwise, they would be completely defeated.
However, Kojima Xiu didn't feel too much pressure because he had two extra battery packs. Changing the battery now was still within his acceptable range.
"This is your plan? You want to use more battery to drain our battery? " Kojima Xiu asked Liu Nian after soaking the battery. Liu Nian shook his head with a blank expression.
Of course, Kojima Xiu spoke Japanese. Although Liu Nian, the little genius, could already read and write English, the sun and the moon weren't within his learning range.
However, at this time, Kojima Xiu vaguely understood something. The special terrain wasn't Hua Xia's tactic. Hua Xia actually wanted to make a fuss about the battery. They deliberately stretched the driving distance to 16.8 kilometers, and then limited the number of parts that could be carried to nine. Their purpose was to do everything possible to reduce the number of batteries brought by their own team.
The DNA track, the super continuous turning track, to put it bluntly, were all designed to quickly drain the battery's power. Unfortunately, his teammates were all fooled. In order to pursue the combat effectiveness of special terrain, they brought a lot of irrelevant parts. Now, the battery's power was probably running out!
"Fortunately, I brought two extra batteries with me!" Kojima Xiu comforted himself in his heart. Then he looked at Liu Nian, but found that Liu Nian didn't have any intention of stopping to change the battery. He was still running forward.
Damn, why is his battery so durable? Even now, his speed hasn't decreased significantly. Has our Fusang's battery technology been surpassed by Hua Xia's? Kojima Xiu was shocked, but he didn't have time to think so much. He was now slightly behind Liu Nian, and he had to catch up quickly.
Kojima Xiu's guess was right. At this time, the Fusang team behind felt that the situation was not good. They hadn't driven six kilometers yet, but their battery consumption was even greater than Kojima Xiu's. Their speed was rapidly decreasing.
At the same time, Hua Xia's team was constantly catching up.
Although they had successfully overtaken Jia Yapeng on the following straight track, Jia Yayue's team had caught up. At this speed, they would soon be overtaken.
"Change the battery!" Several Fusang players looked at each other, and then began to change the battery at the same time.
Although they had only driven about five kilometers, and there were still 11 kilometers to go before the end of the race, if they didn't change the battery soon, they would fall behind. This was an outcome that the self-esteem of the Fusangpeople couldn't accept.
Batteries also had a special characteristic. After stopping use, the battery's power would recover slightly with the passage of time. At worst, they could wait for the new battery to run out of power and then change the old battery. Anyway, it was better than wasting the old battery's power!
Sure enough, after changing the new battery, the Fusang car began to speed up again. Hua Xia's team, which had been trying to catch up, fell behind again. This made the audience, who had originally wanted to cheer, sigh deeply.
At this time, Kojima Xiu, who was in first place, was stunned when he saw the track in front of him.
"We are going to … race around the entire Pavilion of Prince Teng!" Kojima Xiu muttered to himself in disbelief.
That's right. The next track was the most epic track in the entire race, because the whole track was built around the famous Pavilion of Prince Teng in Jiangnan.
At this time, the Pavilion of Prince Teng was in a state of repair. There was already a circle of scaffolding outside, and there was also a green protective net for protection. Therefore, when Jia Yapeng designed the track, he had a flash of inspiration. He simply designed the track directly on top of the circle of scaffolding. The entire track wound up the scaffolding and kept turning, like a winding mountain road. It wound up one round after another until it reached the top of the Pavilion of Prince Teng. Then, it wound down and circled around the entire Pavilion of Prince Teng.
This was definitely the most arrogant track in the history of mini 4WD cars. Using the real Pavilion of Prince Teng, one of the four famous ancient buildings of Hua Xia, as the background for the race made everyone's blood boil.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the Pavilion of Prince Teng and the contestants, only mini 4WD cars were allowed to climb the Pavilion of Prince Teng through the track. The contestants could climb the stairs inside the Pavilion of Prince Teng to the top of the building, where they could perform maintenance on their cars.
With the protection of the internet, even if the mini 4WD cars fell, it would not cause any damage to the Pavilion of Prince Teng. Otherwise, the ZF would never have approved such a risky idea.
There were also many benefits to doing this. Even after a few years, many adult children would still visit the Pavilion of Prince Teng with the dream of a pilgrimage. As a result, the Pavilion of Prince Teng's ticket revenue was more than double that of the Pavilion of Prince Teng in the other world.
When Hideu Kojima saw the track of the Pavilion of Prince Teng, she couldn't help but curse in her heart at the same time.
The Pavilion of Prince Teng was 60 meters tall and had a diameter of more than 40 meters. The track that was built for climbing the Pavilion of Prince Teng had a total of 10 laps. The uphill track was as long as 1.5 kilometers.
A 1.5 kilometer continuous slope would consume more than five times the power of a normal track. It was equivalent to consuming the power of a 7.5 kilometer track. After running on such a track, one set of batteries would basically be completely wasted.
Even if Hideu Kojima had brought two sets of extra batteries, he was afraid that after running on such a track, he would be stretched thin. After all, there was still an eight-kilometer track waiting for him. Would his batteries be able to withstand such a terrifying consumption?
As for his teammates behind him … Hideu Kojima didn't have any expectations. His teammates, who had only brought one set of extra batteries, were bound to lose. They had no chance of winning.
"Change the batteries!" At this moment, Liu Nian, who had run seven kilometers in one go, finally stopped his car and changed two new batteries for his Evangelion. The Evangelion caught up at an extremely fast speed.
"Idiot!" Hideu Kojima cursed. He had already changed the batteries one kilometer ago, but the guy behind him had only just changed his batteries. One could imagine the difference between the batteries.
But no matter what, the race had to continue. Hideu Kojima watched his 4WD enter the track around the Pavilion of Prince Teng. He rushed into the Pavilion of Prince Teng and started climbing the stairs. When he reached the top of the building, he was going to change the brakes on his car.
The faster the car went up the mountain, the faster it would go down the mountain. Hideu Kojima had to install brakes on his car in time to slow it down. Otherwise, he would fall off the Pavilion of Prince Teng if he wasn't careful.
If he fell from such a height, even if his car was made of alloy, it would still be smashed to pieces. Therefore, it was necessary to install brakes on his car after reaching the top.
Although Hideu Kojima didn't bring specialized brakes, it didn't matter. His car actually came with its own brakes. It just needed to be manually adjusted.
As long as the wheels and axles were adjusted a little tighter, then it would naturally work as a brake. This was the special design of Kojima Show's racing car. He thought that it would not be used in this race, but unexpectedly it came in handy.
When Hideu Kojima climbed to the top of the Pavilion of Prince Teng, he heard the roar of a car. He looked through the only window that had access to the track and saw that the first car to rush up was actually an Evangelion. This guy had actually overtaken his Alloy Bullet while climbing the hill.
Wait, that guy hasn't come up yet? Hideu Kojima glanced downstairs and saw that Liu Nian was still one floor away from him. After all, he was only 10 years old. How fast could a 10-year-old climb a building?
You're finished! Your car has already passed! Hideu Kojima looked at Liu Nian and said expressionlessly with Sun and Moon when he climbed up.
Although Liu Nian didn't know what the other party meant, he saw the car in the other party's hand and then looked at his own car. At the same time, the staff on the top floor of the Pavilion of Prince Teng shook their heads helplessly. Liu Nian knew that the worst had happened.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Nian to hear the sound of something falling to the ground. Then, the referee helplessly told Liu Nian that his Evangelion was going too fast and couldn't brake. It accidentally slid off the track and fell to the ground. It had completely turned into a pile of broken parts. Even the hood of the car was completely smashed.
"I …" Liu Nian's eyes instantly turned red.
"I shouldn't have changed the battery … I shouldn't have changed the battery …" Liu Nian kept muttering this sentence and squatted down in despair. At this time, Hideu Kojima looked at Liu Nian pitifully. Yeah, if this guy didn't change the battery, his Evangelion wouldn't have rushed up so fast. He would have been able to reach the top floor in time to adjust the brakes. Maybe he wouldn't have fallen off the building.
But there were no ifs. His biggest opponent was finished. It seemed that the heavens were looking after him. Victory would definitely belong to the great Fusang!
"It's over!" The moment Liu Nian's car fell off the building, all the spectators watching the live broadcast went limp. Some of them couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Since the start of the competition, the cute kid Liu Nian was their only hope. Their only hope of winning the championship was now gone!
— — —
"Liu Nian, it's okay. We still have a chance!"
"Yeah, leave it to your sister!"
Jia Jiayue and Jia Jiafeng went upstairs one after another. When they saw Liu Nian squatting on the ground, they didn't know what to say. They could only comfort him like this, but Liu Nian still couldn't stop his tears.
When Jia Yapeng came up, he picked up the Pure White Angel from the track and removed the battery inside. He glanced at Liu Nian and said, "Run with me. Finish the race like a man. If you lose, the two of us will cry together!"
"Yes!" Liu Nian nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then, he ran down the stairs with Jia Yapeng.
When everyone came down from the Pavilion of Prince Teng, the situation had changed.
Fusang's four cars were the first to enter the Pavilion of Prince Teng, but their car was the last to come out. What was worse was that not everyone had installed a brake device in advance like Kojima Xiu. As a result, two of Fusang's cars had the same fate as Liu Nian's. They fell from the building and smashed to the ground.
On the contrary, the other four cars from Huaxia all passed smoothly. Their cars had already been equipped with braking devices in advance. All they needed to do was to flip a small switch, and they would be able to slow down and descend the slope.
The brake device was originally designed by Liu Nian. However, Liu Nian's car couldn't catch up with his own because he was too slow. This was a lesson for him.
When one's ability couldn't keep up with one's weapon, it wasn't the weapon that should be improved, but one's ability.
Although two of Fusang's cars had successfully gone down the stairs, the car owners' faces were ashen.
In order to go up the stairs, the second set of batteries that they had installed had basically consumed 50% of their power. Now, they only had two sets of batteries with 50% power left. They might be able to finish the race, but their speed would definitely be greatly reduced. It was impossible for them to win. They would only be at the bottom.
At this thought, the two racers felt that it would be better for their cars to fall to their deaths under the Pavilion of Prince Teng. That way, their deaths would be more tragic and they wouldn't be scolded when they returned to China.
After all the cars had gone down the stairs, the gap between the first car and the last car had increased to about one kilometer.
The first car was Kojima Xiu's Alloy Bullet, and the last car was Jia Yapeng's Pure White Angel. There were only eight kilometers left in the final segment. It seemed impossible to catch up with the one kilometer gap in eight kilometers.
"Uncle Jia, are we really going to lose?" Liu Nian, who was following behind Jia Yapeng, asked worriedly.
"No, we still have a trump card!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.
The trump card Jia Yapeng was referring to the Ganjiang Race Track after they left the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
As the name suggested, the Ganjiang Race Track was set up next to the Ganjiang River. The entire track was submerged in the Ganjiang River. It was a two-kilometer underwater track, which was also Jia Yapeng's trump card.
For a car, the resistance of underwater racing was similar to the resistance of going up the stairs. This was the last obstacle for Fusang's team.
"The underwater track is here!" Kojima Xiu sighed when she saw the underwater track. Then, she quickly changed the underwater parts for the car.
This was the most complicated set of parts, which included the tires, the track, the engine, and the bearings. She also had to remove the previous guide wheel bars. There were a total of five sets of parts, and she changed them in about 40 seconds. This gave the people behind her a lot of time to catch up.
However, Jia Jiayue and the others also needed to change their equipment. They were not as skilled as Kojima Xiu, so it took them a minute and a half to change the set of parts. The extra 50 seconds was enough for Kojima Xiu to run another 200 meters.
At a time like this, even a one-meter gap was crucial.
Seeing Jia Jiayue and the others change the parts so slowly, the audience in front of the TV started cursing. If this went on, there would be no hope at all.
However, at this time, a figure rushed over and plunged the car directly into the water. There was no intention to change the equipment at all. Pure White Angel took the second place.
This car was naturally Pure White Angel. Because Jia Yapeng couldn't change the equipment for Pure White Angel, Pure White Angel was actually a fully equipped car from the beginning. Otherwise, Pure White Angel wouldn't be so slow. After all, the engine and track used underwater were heavy and clumsy, so it was inevitable that the car would be slow in the early stages.
However, as the race entered the water, things changed. Pure White Angel entered the best environment to move around. More importantly, Jia Yapeng changed a new set of batteries for it.
This was already the fourth set of batteries that Pure White Angel had changed. Compared to Kojima Xiu, who only changed one set of batteries, Jia Yapeng was definitely extravagant. After all, he had nine extra sets of batteries in his hands.
On the other side, Kojima Xiu's alloy warhead slowed down. In the process of climbing the stairs just now, the power of the second set of batteries was basically exhausted. It didn't need to use any power to rush down because of inertia, but after entering the water, it was impossible. Without sufficient power, it couldn't run fast in the water.
Therefore, Kojima Xiu could only change to the third set of batteries, which was his last set of batteries. However, after running about one kilometer in the water, the speed began to slow down.
However, this speed was still within Kojima Xiu's acceptable range. He looked at the turning point that was getting closer and closer. He calculated that he would be able to rush out of this troublesome underwater track in at most 500 meters. When he returned to the ground again, a burst of cheers from the audience sounded crazily beside him.
Kojima Xiu looked back and found that Jia Yapeng and his Pure White Angel had already caught up with him. The distance between the two was no more than 500 meters.
"How did he catch up?" Seeing Jia Yapeng behind him, Kojima Xiu was a little confused.
Nonsense, Jia Yapeng changed three sets of batteries in this underwater track so that the power of the car was always at the highest state and the speed was always at the highest. How could he not catch up?
When Kojima Xiu ran the last 500 meters and the alloy warhead finally broke out of the water, Jia Yapeng's Pure White Angel was only 200 meters away from it.
"It's okay, I'm already back on the ground. I'm faster on the ground!" Kojima Xiu gritted his teeth and thought. Then he saw Jia Yapeng change another set of batteries for Pure White Angel, and then Pure White Angel caught up with him at an explosive speed.
"Go, alloy warhead, you're faster than him, faster than him!!" Kojima Xiu shouted crazily.
Indeed, when it just left the water, Alloy Warhead was still a little faster than Pure White Angel.
But the resistance underwater consumed a lot of the battery's power. When there were only five kilometers left to the end of the race, the speed of the two had reversed. Even with a full set of waterproof equipment and guide wheels, Pure White Angel still had new batteries. Its speed had surpassed Alloy Warhead, and the gap between the two was always 200 meters.
When there were still four kilometers left to the end, Alloy Warhead's speed suddenly began to slow down, and Pure White Angel had caught up.
Kojima Xiu decided to remove the third set of batteries and replace it with the first set of batteries that had been restored for a while. When he planned to let Alloy Warhead recover its speed, Jia Yapeng replaced Pure White Angel with a new set of batteries.
And then there was no more and then. Two minutes later, Pure White Angel overtook Alloy Warhead, and then Alloy Warhead with insufficient power had no chance of catching up with Pure White Angel.
Two hours and forty-two minutes after the start of the race, Pure White Angel was the first to reappear on the stage of Bayi Plaza. His pure white paint shone under the sun, and he was the first to cross the finish line.
Six minutes later, Kojima Xiu's Alloy Warhead reached the finish line at the speed of a tractor.
Just twenty seconds later, Jia Jiayue and Jia Jiafeng rushed over. After another twenty seconds, the last contestant, Hua Xia, crossed the finish line. As for the remaining two contestants, Fusang, because of the serious lack of battery power, their speed was below two meters per second, and they had no choice but to give up the race.
At this point, the race between the two countries that had attracted the attention of the whole nation ended with Hua Xia's complete victory. That night, Ichiro Honda received news from the headquarters that he had been transferred to the logistics department and was responsible for guarding the company's warehouse.
Ichiro Honda resigned on the spot, and the race ended with a happy GG amidst the cheers and laughter of the Hua Xia crowd.
[PS: Let me ask you a question. If you think this mini 4WD plot is lame, type 1 here, type 2 if it's okay, type 3 if it's good. But there won't be any mini 4WD races in the future. Manager Jia will continue to scam money!]
