took out the GPS, according to the coordinates on the road book, Xing Yu quickly found the direction, but in the process of detouring, there was no road condition introduction from the organizing committee, and the vehicle has been driving on various large gravel roads, which has increased a lot of difficulty.

The motorcycle friend because of the dodge is not timely, even fell down twice, finally found the road book on the must pass point, after confirming that he has no major problems, can only say goodbye, the motorcycle to follow the car, there is still a certain danger, the splashed sand squinted is good to say, and then was hit by the splashed gravel, that is to be injured.

Finding the direction, everything seems to be a lot more normal, and when he finally rushed past the collection point, Shi Hui sat in the car for a long time and did not get out of the car, and he could only step on the accelerator on his toes in the second half of the journey, and now he is relaxed, cramps are inevitable.

Helping Shi Hui to rest, Xing Yu worked hard and cooperated with the mechanics who came together to inspect the vehicle, all the screws had to be checked once, the bumps in the first two Gobi stages were too violent, and there were too many loose screws in the vehicle.

The various cushioning blocks of the chassis were also partially worn, and after careful inspection, it was found that there was a more serious problem, and there was a slight deformation between the lining of the vehicle's fenders and the body.

This problem gave Xing Yu a headache, even if tomorrow was a rest day, there seemed to be plenty of time, and it was very difficult to strengthen it.

Shi Hui, who had just woken up, was also helpless when he learned of this situation, so he could only plan to slow down tomorrow, reduce jumps, and wait for the next day off to go to the big city to make plans.

The frontier occupies one-sixth of the motherland's land area, but it has a total population of just over 25 million, which is not even as large as some large cities in the interior.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is only one city in Xinjiang that has DMAX accessories, and the accelerator pedal is only borrowed from the equipment of other fleets and simply reinforced after plastic welding, and the others can make up for it.

Seeing other large convoys, the various maintenance tools on the support vehicles were neatly placed, and the technicians had a clear division of labor, Shi Hui and Xing Yu's eyes were full of envy.

"Wait, I'll get a backup car next year, and you'll help me find an Isuzu light truck when you go back. Shi Hui said sourly when he lowered his head to change the engine oil by himself.

"Don't be envious of the big teams, there were a lot of people in the 100 plus club yesterday, and our results have skyrocketed now. Xing Yu comforted.

On the rest day, most of the riders and navigators, except for the Golden Helmet Award for the first two stages, were asleep in a huff. The race was too tiring, and only a driver of a small team like Shi Hui Xingyu would do it himself, even so, yesterday's race was successfully completed, and only the time penalty for driving away from the track for ten minutes when he got lost.

Compared to the riders who didn't arrive before the base camp closed. The 100-hour penalty is already too much of a lead.

A third of the cars now participate in the race have joined the 100+ clubs, and the team leader is very happy to see this result. At present, the DMAX class ranks fourth, and the overall ranking is 37, which has surpassed most of the professionally modified cars in the car group, which is also the biggest motivation for Shi Hui and Xing Yu to repair cars here.

After the first two days of scorching heat and the Gobi, the rest day was over, and the third stage was a pure desert stage.

This is the first desert stage of the race, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers, compared to the Gobi full of rubble, Shihui prefers the undulating desert, the soft surface structure of the desert, although it is extremely easy to trap, but the damage to the vehicle is also much smaller, which helps to protect the vehicle.

The maintenance is basically over, Xing Yu has to specialize in tomorrow's road book again, there are too few road signs in the desert stage, and there are few stylish roads, so if you don't study the road book well in such a stage, it is easy to make mistakes at the beginning of the race.

Lying on the recliner, wearing only a pair of big shorts, I didn't think about any face at this time, on the first day of the competition, Xing Yu's whole body was soaked in vain, and on the second day of the competition, fortunately, there was a secret weapon given by the car destroyer, but there were still some places that were soaked in sweat.

It is very pleasant to take off your racing suit and let the breeze blow in the Gobi breeze.

During the night, the racers had time to rest, but the navigators they had met during the two days of the race liked to sit together and discuss the course for tomorrow.

The wind blew through the Gobi, and the camel thorns rolled.

The master had already put away his sword, warmed a pot of hot wine, and sat around.

"Have you figured it out? ”

"I've made up my mind. ”

"Even if it's gone?"

"You have different attachments, why do you have to ask me?"

"You're not like us, you're young. ”

"No, we're all the same, trying to finish this fight. ”

This is the rivers and lakes imagined by Xing Yu, the knife can not be a golden wire ring knife, and the sword can not be a closed moon shy sword, but people must be people with ancient hearts.

Xing Yu followed his predecessors and learned more navigation skills. If you find a shortcut in the road book, and give up a penalty time that must pass, it is a little shorter than the time to look for it, then you can choose to give up.

The choice between trade-offs is also a skill that a good navigator must have.

The race route is like a treasure hunt, not all treasures have to be found, and it is important to be able to get back safely.

I found all the treasures, but I didn't go home, and everything was empty.

In particular, this section is all desert, and there are mostly invisible sections, so it is good to be able to identify the general direction, and missing one or two must pass points will not have much impact on the overall performance.

The SS3 stage started with three corners in a row before entering the desert stage. China Library

There are two deserts in China with the same name, one is roughly located in the north of the Achike Valley - Dunhuang Yadan National Geopark, south to the Altun Mountain, west to Lop Nur Big Ear as the boundary, east to Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain and Annanba National Reserve, the desert covers an area of about 22,000 square kilometers.

The other is the venue for the current competition, which is located on the eastern edge of the Turpan Basin. It covers an area of 1880 square kilometers.

According to records, this place is "800 miles long, the ancient Shahe River, there are no birds, no beasts, no water and grass", and the natural environment is extremely bad. Here, Xuanzang encountered the most treacherous test on the way to the west, and relied on faith and perseverance to cross this place.

The climate in this area is extremely arid, with annual precipitation below 30 mm, and it is the most dry and eroded plateau area, and almost all the ground is devoid of grass.

There are countless sand nests, honeycomb sands, flat sands, undulating dunes, fish-scale sand slopes, desert Gobi mixed lands, etc. The outline of the sand dunes is clear and distinct, the ridge line of the dunes is smooth and smooth, the sandy slope on the windward side is like water, and the leeward side is like quicksand.

The road signs of the organizing committee are also very interesting, and some of the curves are marked by the bones of some wild animals that have died in the desert.

The scorching sun is shining, the dazzling sun, Xing Yu has to wear sunglasses, the temperature in the car rises quickly, the temperature of the sand here is very high, once there were local doctors, when treating certain diseases, people will be buried in the desert, for the treatment of rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, leg cramps, wind chills, decreased immunity and other incurable diseases, has a miraculous effect.

But for the game, the high temperature here is a bit unkind.

Not long after departure, two or three vehicles were reported to have spontaneously combusted on the rooftop, which made Xing Yu feel a lot of pressure.

The high temperature, and the dizziness caused by the desert, make many people suffer from heat stroke, wrong prediction, wrong driving, rolling, rolling, all kinds of information has been constant.

"Don't worry, we're diesel cars, so we don't necessarily burn if we light a fire. After hearing the news of the organizing committee, Shi Hui immediately persuaded Xing Yu, he was worried that Xing Yu was under pressure in his heart and would have psychological pressure on the competition.

"Herders, pay attention to the vegetation, full speed ahead. Xing Yu looked down at Lu Shu, trying to devote himself wholeheartedly to the competition, the organizing committee's radio, there was no good news, if it was turned off, what was going on in front of him could not be understood at the first time. This made Xing Yu very depressed.

When turning over a high sand dune, Xing Yu saw three or four vehicles in front of him, and looked fixedly that it was the main competitor of DMAX in this competition, Ruiqi Racing Team from Zhengzhou Nissan.

In the first two stages, the team was in a hurry to protect the car, and the potential of the car was exhausted too early and too quickly, which was undoubtedly detrimental to the final result.

On yesterday's rest day, Ruiqi team also borrowed a lot of technicians from other teams, their maintenance tasks were too heavy, and their own dozen or so technicians were simply not enough.

"Detour, they didn't seem to be a big problem, but it affected our speed. Xing Yu watched the yellow sand rolling behind the three cars, and quickly made a choice.

The three cars are too close to each other, and if you want to overtake, flying sand will also affect the judgment of the road surface, and following them, the results will be affected again.

Now, if you want to guarantee your own results, you have to give up a pass-through point, bypass these three cars, and pass from the side.

Shi Hui's judgment is the same as Xing Yu's, so it is better to follow others to eat ashes behind their butts, so it is better to change the competition route.

Anyway, it is now an invisible road in the desert, and the soft sand mountains around it can be used casually.

Overtaking from the smaller sand slope on the left, bypassing these three cars, has entered the heart of the desert, there are many cars, but spilled in the desert, everything seems so small.

After three or four more passes, I haven't met anyone else.

"Xing Yu, we ran wrong!!" Shi Hui shouted after suddenly slamming the brakes.

"No, the signs are all right. Xing Yu looked at the road book in his hand, a little puzzled.

"Look up at ......"

Kumtag has a mirage, and when we chatted yesterday, someone said that when the sun was shining, there was a faint ocean at the end of the sky with a silver light, and people who didn't know really thought they had arrived at the seaside.

But it was clearly a city in front of him, and Xing Yu could even clearly see the cars coming and going on the road.

You must know that the Kumtag Desert Scenic Area is one of the few deserts in the world that has zero contact with the city.

In the hinterland of the desert, when he suddenly saw the city, it was so lifelike, and he couldn't complain that Shi Hui mistakenly thought that he had run the wrong track.

After Xing Yu checked the road book and GPS many times, he confirmed that he had not run the wrong way, and the city he saw now was a mirage.

Shi Hui drove to the top of a sand slope and got out of the car directly.

I heard people say that you can only see the lake, the surface of the lake is sparkling, the water waves are rolling with the wind, the aquatic plants are fluttering on the lake, as if there are galloping cars, and the yurt is very distinctive.

Now I can see the city on the horizon, clear skyscrapers, high-rise buildings, although I can't see the crowd, but I can still see the vehicles shuttling......

For a moment, the two had forgotten that they were still competing, and just wanted to enjoy this few spectacles......

"Brother Shi, I want to be the largest car dealer in the province, when the time comes, build a high-rise building to sell cars, the higher the price of the vehicle, the roof, I don't sell supercars, I sell all kinds of professional off-road vehicles, when the time comes, you will be the leader of our company's team......" Xing Yu said a little confused.

"Thief, you kid, do you still want me to work for you? I have a lot of ambition, I just want to have a city, and all the big and small districts have my meat sandwich bun shops, just ......"
