Volume 1 Chapter 143: Blessings and Misfortunes

The engine is high, the gearbox is high, and people are also undergoing the baptism of high temperature.

If it weren't for the rescue vehicle on the road, he could eat a watermelon, Xing Yu didn't want to challenge anymore.

Shi Hui asked Xing Yu hoarsely, have you completely persevered in anything since you were a child?

Xing Yu can't think of it, maybe until now, the only thing that has persisted is that it has been so many years, and has always insisted on being mixed in the automotive industry, whether it is a second-hand car, a new car, an installment mortgage, even if it is a regional director of a financial company, he is mainly responsible for automobile-related projects.

If you say that riding a bicycle to Tibet is a dream trip, but you don't get it, and you will still be cheeky to rub other people's vehicles when you meet a kind rider on the way.

In addition to vehicles, there are many other hobbies, but which one thing persevered?

Yes, no.

I have participated in so many competitions, and the first time I encountered a flat tire, Xing Yu said: Left 13, gravel pavement. Before he could say anything, the vehicle had already lost control and crashed into the mound of dirt on the side.

The large pattern of MT tires and thick tire walls finally couldn't stand it, and they didn't even hear the sound, and they burst directly.

The two people who were fully engaged in the race, if it weren't for the loss of control of the car, just wanted to move on.

The jacks and wrenches, which are still hot through the gloves, have no time to estimate the feeling in their hands.

Under the high temperature, I changed into a complete tire, and my eyes were stimulated by sweat and I didn't want to open them.

"Throw it away, the tires are scrapped, and the wheels seem to be deformed. Shi Hui looked at Xing Yu who was slumped on the ground weakly.

"Heh, Brother Shi, it's the first time I've seen you so generous, when we participated in that competition before, we encountered a chassis guard that fell from another car on the road, don't you still want to pick it up?" Xing Yu couldn't feel the temperature anymore, and he couldn't stop it on the hot ground, Xing Yu lay down.

By the time the game had been played, Xing Yu's physical strength had been completely overdrawn.

Before the race, there were many people who said that they should exercise and run every day.

Xing Yu didn't think so, the most important thing in the cross-country rally is to get out of the car and dig the sand, what physical work can there be?

Are the racers and navigators tired of driving? A stage can be driven for about 10 hours at most. How tired is it to sit in the car, and how much physical effort does it take?

Reality is always more brutal than imagined.

This is only the fourth stage, and the matter of changing tires has already left Xing Yu with no strength to get up.

"Hey, Brother Shi, I think I'm going to lose more than ten kilograms when I go back this time, I used to pat my stomach, and I can shake it for a while, you look at me now, take a shot, and there is no reaction at all. You say, am I losing weight? Xing Yu collapsed on the ground, patting his belly in boredom.

"Whether you're skinny or not, I don't know. But now I just want your sister-in-law to make sour plum soup, but I can't do it, so I can have a bowl of mung bean soup that I hate the most. Shi Hui also sat in the shadow of the vehicle in exhaustion.

"I think Wei Xiao, I don't know what she's doing at the beach now, I haven't had time to chat with her in the past two days. ”

"Then stick to it, hold on until you return to the base camp, I'll get you a pot of wine, we are Yebalu, there is still a gap between us and the regular army, drink some, you can run better." Shi Hui tried to stand up, walked to Xing Yu's side, and forcibly lifted Xing Yu up.

"Walking, in order to go home. ”

"Go, to go home. ”

Changing a spare tire, everyone who drives will encounter it countless times, but Xing Yu has never changed a tire in his impression, and he will be as tired as today.

Get in the car and fasten your seat belt, climb over the road book, there is less than 300 kilometers away from the car collection point, 300 kilometers, usually drive for three or four hours, but this is not a conventional road, 300 kilometers of distance can already organize a small crossing activity, 300 kilometers of distance, in some small competitions, can be divided into two or three days of competition sections.

Now, it's just half the distance of the SS4 stage.

"Departure, six kilometers of gravel, into the dunes. Multiple bends, no large obstacles. Xing Yu, who has a strong spirit, said after flipping through the road book.

Starting in second gear, there was a flying sand and rocks behind the car.

The cliffs on both sides retreated rapidly.

The next time I encountered other vehicles, it was a car with raging flames and black smoke billowing out.

Another car spontaneously combusted, and I had heard about the spontaneous combustion of the vehicle several times in the channel of the organizing committee before when I was resting after the race.

really saw the spontaneous combustion of the vehicle, Xing Yu and Shi Hui were both for the first time.

Looking at the racer of the spontaneously combusting vehicle, he waved there with a smile, but Shi Hui still chose to park the vehicle to the side.

A word of greeting, a word of concern.

In the face of fire, albeit insignificant.

But you can still get the other party's smile.

Let's go, leave me alone, there is already a vehicle from the organizing committee to pick us up. Come on, bro.

Through the black ash on his face, Xing Yu could still see that the person who spoke had performed well in the first two stages and had always belonged to the First Group Army.

His pilot, Xing Yu is even more familiar, is the friend who wears a plaid shirt every day when he gets the road book, and always has a few pens of various colors pinned to his breast pocket.

Every time he studies the road book, he will use a different color of oil pen to mark different road conditions, some dangers, or changes in road conditions need to pay attention to the place, he will also directly help the person next to him mark it.

Now they can't continue to race, facing the scorching sun and fire, helplessly watching their cars burn, but they can only extinguish the fire in their hearts.

The same dry lips, the same hoarse voice, but they don't want to be a problem for other racers.

"Come on, let's go! After the game, we are gathering. ”

It's a rival, but it's also a friend.

That's perhaps the appeal of off-road racing.

Leaving two bottles of mineral water, DMAX continued on his way.

The heat continues, the race continues.

Passing by the dry ancient river, passing by the desolate Gobi, passing by the red and yellow Yadan landform.

Overtake motorcycles, overtake ATVs, overtake other vehicles.

The weather seems to be slowly cooling, and the sun doesn't seem to be blazing anymore.

DMAX, after two boils, gradually returned to normal.

This was thanks to a rescue vehicle, and the local driver on the rescue vehicle was very experienced in pointing out the key issues.

This stage, there are too many ups and downs, and it is the choice of many people to cool down with water, but they forget that the wet radiator is easy to adsorb dust, and when it is hot, use an air pump to blow off the dust, which is more conducive to the cooling of the engine.

Continue to meet the press crew, don't envy them for being able to watch the game up close.

Stationary tripods, mounted cameras, and cameras have been hit more than once by debris from passing vehicles.

Racers can hide from the heat, but they can also hide in the car, and these film crews, many times, can only wear sun hats and walk on the hot road.

Shi Hui saw an old acquaintance, wearing only a pair of shorts and boots. Take photos there, and when you speed by, you can also go against all kinds of flying sand and rocks, like a thumbs up from the drivers.

After the game, Shi Hui asked him, why didn't he just strip naked?

He said that he didn't want to wear shorts for a long time, but considering that there are still many riders of the opposite sex, he can only make up for it to survive.

As for the boots, he really wanted not to wear them, but the ground temperature was too high, and if he didn't wear boots, a lot of blisters would soon burn out on his feet......

After the end of the Devil's Stage, he took one of the most touching photos.

- In the Gobi desert, two foreign drivers who have taken off their racing suits sit in the shadow in front of the red race car, and the surface temperature of more than 70 degrees Celsius and the car that can no longer finish the race make the two look helpless.

A famous foreign driver, he has participated in all Dakar Rallies since 2003 and finished 6th overall. The world's top performers in endurance racing, motorcycles, cars and 4x4 eventually withdrew from the race due to a turbo failure in his car.

More than one of the top drivers has withdrawn, and only halfway through the stage is left, and only half of the cars are left to continue racing.

In this half of the race vehicles, there are still many people who have reluctantly joined the "100-hour club"

Vehicle breakdowns, disorientation, and a variety of reasons make it necessary for many masters to join.

It's not a coincidence that the ring tower has a reputation for dominating all kinds of disobedience, no matter how brave you are in other arenas.

But this is the frontier, this is the ring tower, and a small mistake may make you lose the championship.

Shi Hui, who successfully finished the race, was mixed when he learned the news.

I am happy with my results, and now I have a chance to challenge for a better position.

I am worried that there are too many of my friends, and I have said goodbye to the ring tower race.

There are also some riders who will challenge the gold helmet of a single stage because they have no hope of hitting the overall score.

Riders who give up their overall finish will run wilder in the next races.

While they are going to fight for the stage gold helmet, it will affect the results of other drivers.

The following rest day, and two relatively simple stages, sure enough, many drivers no longer choose to protect their cars, but desperately test their car limits.

Seeing several times on the track, some people chose to leap overtake, and Xing Yu couldn't help but want Shi Hui to run faster.

"You're still too young, they're all members of the 100 Hour Club, what are we arguing with them. Whenever this happens, Shi Hui will calmly dissuade him.

After six stages, including the penalty time, DMAX is currently 25th overall and third in the class.

If everything is in order and the race can be completed smoothly, the trophy is already decided.

Look at the drivers after the 25th place, they have all received a 100-hour time penalty.

In the previous stage of Wucaiwan, and take a break, the team technician specially drove the car to the Bird City 4S store and did a detailed inspection of the whole car, and the hidden problems of the previous stages were successfully solved.

Now that DMAX is doing well, it is not difficult to finish the race smoothly based on the current driving situation.

While the two were preparing for the sixth stage, the organizing committee came with new news, the news that the front stage was washed out due to rain. According to previous sources, a deep water ditch appeared at 9.9 kilometers from Lushu.

The sixth stage is dominated by Gobi and riverbed desert pastures, with a total length of 430km. The stage, which everyone thought was relatively difficult, became extremely difficult due to this unexpected heavy rain.

The muddy road, which was pressed by the previous vehicle through a deep ravine, made it more and more difficult to control the vehicle. The pouring rain also washed away many road book signs, and it became more and more difficult to identify the direction without references.

After less than 150 kilometers of departure, Shi Hui found that the fuel gauge bottomed out, and after extracting the spare fuel tank, the situation still did not improve......
