Volume I, Chapter 87: The Conquest 428
This year's 428 Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Rally has a total of 5 competition locations, namely Xining, Gonghe, Ulan, Delingha and Golmud in Qinghai Province, and will go through 7 days and 6 stages with a total of more than 2,000 kilometers to finally arrive in Golmud, the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The stage is dominated by desert, Gobi, dry river and Yadan landforms, covering various landforms of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
This time, the race did not go deep into the Tibetan area, and the final stop was only in Golmud, Qinghai, and the altitude difficulty was reduced to a certain extent, which was also one of the main reasons why Ling Hao chose to participate in this competition.
Because the 428 Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Cross-Country Rally is an event based on the premise and foundation of public welfare. Public welfare activities run through the whole process of the event. Through the Tibetan health department, we are committed to improving health and medical conditions in Tibetan areas, advocating love and dedication, and advocating equality of life.
The organizing committee requires that only production cars can participate, Shi Ningxia had to temporarily find two Great Wall shells, which is also the default unspoken rule in the industry, production car competitions, often can see that in addition to the shell is not the original car of the car, the chassis, engine, gearbox is replaced that is even more normal, before there was a brand to participate in international events, careful people can see that the car is the Patrol chassis, Toyota engine......
Most of Xing Yu's recent shops are new cars, and he said hello to Xue Haidong early on for anything in the replacement vehicle, and asked him to help take care of it, some off-road vehicles that he is not very good at selling are also placed on Xing Yu's place for consignment, and when he was about to leave, Xue Haidong was also going to come and have fun together, and there were some things in his store that were not finished, so he gave up, which made him depressed for a long time.
Fei Long drove the Wrangler he had just bought, and ran to do backup, and he didn't help the team pull anything, and under normal circumstances, Xing Yu, Wei Xiao, and Ma Duo sat in the car.
Looking at where he was diligent and pulling Ma Duo's homely routine, Xing Yu understood that this was 'drunk and warm, not in wine'. Seeing that Ma Duo didn't explicitly refuse, Wei Xiao had another person to accompany him, so Xing Yu didn't say anything.
There are two racing cars in this competition, only Xing Yu is a semi-professional pilot, Manni is more than enough as a racer, but if you really want him to lead the way, it is very likely to be taken directly to the ditch, and when you get the road book, you will be the first to pull Manni to communicate the details, and Ling Hao, who participated in the long-distance rally event for the first time, is also listening to Xing Yu's opinions on the side.
As for Shi Hui, he has been adjusting the vehicle with Shi Ningxia according to the road conditions, the altitude of this race is more than 4,000 kilometers, some of the previous race car tuning experience is not enough, a simple oil and gas mixing ratio, it will take them a lot of time...... To have power, but also to save fuel, there is no place to refuel halfway through the track, only pursue power, do not consider fuel consumption, you may have to retire halfway because of lack of fuel.
Shi Ningxia's suggestion is to install an additional external computer, and control the vehicle's power and fuel-saving options through two computers that are different from each other. Shi Hui feels that there are more computers, more electrical devices, so unstable, and there are not many masters in this competition, his suggestion is that we all run steadily, and it is okay to successfully complete all the races, as for the ranking, the completion rate of 428 has not been high, as long as the ranking can be successfully completed, there will naturally be.
The two people's modification concepts are different, Shi Ningxia thinks that Shi Hui does not trust his technical reserves, and Shi Hui thinks that Shi Ningxia is too proud and can't listen to the persuasion of others......
The two old men who are both in their 50s, arguing every day with red faces and red ears, Xing Yu admires the physical strength of the two old brothers very much, now the altitude is nearly three thousand meters, and it is a little gasping to say a few words loudly, the two old people can still quarrel, and they can quarrel for so long, how much physical support does this need to complete?
In the end, neither of the two could persuade anyone, Shi Ningxia equipped an extra set of plug-in computers on his racing car, as for Shi Hui and Ling Hao's car, they almost dismantled the EFI system and replaced it with a carburetor device, don't you dislike that there are too many electronic components and the failure rate is high? Then my EFI system can change it to mechanical oil supply for you, what else do you have to say......
Shi Hui thought that this was a bull with himself, and said angrily: "I will never rent your car in the future, I will build a racing car by myself when I go back, and it must be better than you." ”
Although there was a quarrel, it was just a difference in concept, but Shi Ningxia still completed the logistics guarantee task very well.
The first stage of Xining to the Republic is basically a shaped road, and the altitude has not had much impact on people and cars for the time being, although Shi Hui and Xing Yu have not cooperated for many years, and there are very few pre-game exchanges in this competition, but this kind of thing is tacit, no one can say well, there is no difficulty to get a second place, looking at Shi Ningxia, who has not won the top ten, Shi Hui's voice has increased by an octave.
When resting at night, Shi Ningxia put forward his opinion: "When you were old, you also cherished the rented car, this is only the first day of the game, you see, there is a problem with the chassis when you come back, and the horn ball head needs to be replaced......"
"That's because your car can't work, if my Pajero EVO hadn't been sold, I wouldn't have driven your car. Shi Hui replied.
"What is a car is not good, we are all running for the first time, the first race was originally designed to be familiar with the car conditions, test the performance of the vehicle ......" Shi Ningxia is the most reluctant to see others say that their vehicles are not good, and now there is also a store fire.
"I can only test the performance of your vehicle by operating to the limit like this, and you should thank me for ......" Shi Hui was also unrelenting.
The people around hurriedly persuaded him, "Brother Shi Hui, pay attention to your body, this is the first day, there is no need to be so desperate, you will fly when you see the slope now, is it commanded by Xing Yu, his nickname of 'Flying Car Maniac' is now killing people......"
"Brother Shi Ningxia, don't be angry, Shi Hui is also unfamiliar with the new car, the power of your car is good, and you can't accept it if you don't adapt to it all of a sudden. Run fast, you should be happy, it's a good ...... to show your racing"
Everyone understands in their hearts that if it weren't for the existence of technical maniacs like Shi Ningxia and Han Wei, we would still be playing millions of imported racing cars.
When we are inexperienced, foreign racing cars and spare parts are sky-high, once we understand the racing cars, to be able to make racing cars and produce some spare parts, they began to reduce the price, look at the foreign second-hand racing cars are not as high as 10 years, Shi Ningxia has always been the concept is to develop domestic racing cars and spare parts, the production of our domestic racing cars, only in this way can we reduce the cost of making racing cars, in order to have Chinese production of racing cars, in order to participate in international events have our all-Chinese team, hard work.
This is the feeling he feels after every time he gets drunk, and he has been working hard towards his goal.
As for Shi Hui, he didn't want to argue with Shi Ningxia about what car, he wanted a good ranking too much.
How many years later, Xing Yu sat alone in the cinema, watched a movie, and cried for two shots: under extremely difficult circumstances, he successfully passed various checkpoints with his superb driving skills, plus for five years, he would memorize the Bayingbrook Track in his mind twenty times every day, and finally approached the finish line smoothly"I'm not trying to win, I just don't want to lose". So in the end, Zhang Chi did not follow Sun Yuqiang's advice to slow down in advance, but rushed to the finish line desperately......
This shot made Xing Yu cry because he remembered the past, the competition, and the time when Shi Hui's tailbone was broken, he gritted his teeth and sat in the car and let Xing Yu move on......
I remembered the scene where Manni was bloodied by the mask because the helmet did not fit, and continued to play while smearing the blood......
remembered Feng Yongpeng, who was injured in a fall and won a second place on crutches......
I think of a lot of scenes where I struggled on the track because of a car or physical problem......
It's just that the lovers in their hearts, the racers, can forget everything, all that is left in front of them is the track, and all the dreams are simply tentatively set to sprint to the finish line......
In the second shot, Sun Yuqiang drove the container truck of the 1246 team and overturned on the way to the race base camp, causing serious damage to Zhang Chi's car.
When the two of them were at a loss for the vehicle, Lin Zhendong, as an opponent, provided maintenance materials and venues, and when Jixing took off his clothes and showed a strong muscle, he shouted: "Let me ......" and immediately went under the car to repair......
Helping the opponent is exactly what the rot people have been pursuing: "The rot people in the world are one family, the farther the road, the closer the heart." "When you go out to race, rescue trailers on the field are common shots in the competition, and when someone has a good score, they will stop and help when they encounter an accident with other vehicles......
As for the logistical technicians, there is never a day off, when the drivers are resting, they are inspecting the repair of the car, the drivers are out of the base camp to race, they are collecting data, they are checking that the vulnerable materials are sufficient......
Several people dismantled an engine with their bare hands, carrying the ...... on their shoulders It's not uncommon to drill straight under the car on muddy ground to change the suspension kit.
Shi Ningxia often finishes the race without resting, and has to command and supervise the workers at the maintenance site, and is often pulled by friends from other teams around him to solve some technical problems of the vehicle......
The quarrel between Shi Hui and Shi Ningxia was not over, and the two of them hooked their shoulders to check the vehicle and adjust the data, or that sentence, no one had enough experience in the plateau race, so everyone could only get together every day to discuss whether the car needed to be equipped with what accessories, and whether the data of the computer version needed to be changed......
Maybe not everyone has such lofty ideals, Xing Yu just wanted to add more stories to himself at that time, hoping to use these stories to increase future conversations, and also blow a story in the capital market about encountering wolves in Tibetan areas to get a sky-high Tibetan mastiff...... This also brings more cash flow to your company......
But he was also moved by Shi Ningxia's craftsman spirit, and Xing Yu also had a new plan in his heart for the APP design that he had had before, and the idea was that he could no longer have it, and even if he lost a lot of money when he went back, he would create a high-quality product......
