Volume 1 Chapter 89: Halfway Halberd
After a day of recuperation, Xing Yu finally regained a little vitality, this day he was lying with his eyes closed, obviously very tired, but he could come up with a lot of things in his head, and his brain activity was also a kind of altitude sickness.
Competition, this stage is a little numb, Xing Yu is thinking more about how the business in the store is, it is said that the company has been out of stock in the past few days, Xing Yu had to ask Zhu Xiaoman to contact some peer cars to come to consignment.
It is very irresponsible to come out to compete if you can't be the shopkeeper, and Zhu Xiaoman complained to Xing Yu for this reason. In the second stage, Xing Yu and Shi Hui rescued several local herdsmen, and now they have arrived at Xing Yu's company, and everyone has taken away a Highlander, which is still top-matched, these Highlanders are all contacted by Zhu Xiaoman because Xing Yu is not there, and the profit is very low considering the reception fee.
The rented site is Wei Xiong's place, all of which are on the first floor, and the three large offices on the second floor, which are Xing Yu's so-called high-tech car sales company, and the third and fourth floors and other places are all renovated by Wei Xiong into an art hotel in business, and foreign customers are wrapped, which is the rule set by Xing Yu.
"There were so many people who came that they stayed in several rooms, so they bought three cars. Wei Xiong still wants to chase me every day to clean up the money. Zhu Xiaoman complained on the phone.
"If you have a chance, you can come here again, and you will know why I don't like to take a bath, I haven't taken a bath in a few days, and now I'm so tired that I'm slumped in bed to talk to you. Xing Yu persuaded.
"Doesn't it all say that artillery fire goes into Tibet every day? Now you can often see that kind of news on the Internet, how can you stand it if you don't take a bath?" Zhu Xiaoman, as a senior rotten girl, will always be better than Xing Yuqing for this kind of gossip lace news.
"The bullshit is fired, don't say anything about taking a shower, you can try your physical exertion once, drive every day to finish, and still have the physical strength to do those things. Xing Yu said angrily.
"Guy, if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't. Zhu Xiaoman laughed.
"Forget it, I was also the master who could ride 28 beams and carry the girl to the watershed, but now I am not as tired as a dog. "How can a man say that he can't do it? At this time, Xing Yu must say something to support himself in the scene.
"Yes, yes, yes...... I know that my younger brother goes out to eat with a leaf and seven fish bones, and eats snails without a toothpick, and his mouth is sucked. Those rich women saw it, and they were all chasing after them and not letting go......" Zhu Xiaoman's ridicule made Xing Yu a little overwhelmed, this woman is bad, much more powerful than men. What is the saying? I'm not a casual person, I'm not a casual person. This rotten girl is joking, Xing Yu really can't compare.
"Yes, you are a sister, you won, I can't say you, go back and bring you gifts, you take a good look at the company, I will give you shares when you make money." "Xing Yu can only admit defeat here, everyone can say it, what else can Xing Yu do?
"Okay, I won't tease you, and you don't want to draw a pie for my sister. You just have to meet a few people there who come to buy a car. The competition also pays more attention to safety, the company is missing you, there are many things, and I can't solve them yet......" Zhu Xiaoman explained a few more words, and hung up the phone.
After caring about the company's affairs, Xing Yu squinted groggily for a while......
The second day of the race featured a long section in which the rally divided the distance from the starting point to the finish point into several sections and stages, with stops and rest stops along the way. When driving on the driving section, the participating cars are subject to a certain speed limit, and must arrive at the end of each section at the specified time, neither in advance nor later, and must obey the local traffic rules during driving, and those who violate the rules will be deducted points.
When the base camp is moved, the stages are too far apart, and there is a local protected area, such sections will appear in the stage.
Running the driving section, the drivers are completely stress-free, which does not allow overtaking, and does not allow speeding, and is still a paved road, there is a safety car of the organizing committee in front, just run with it, so what pressure is there?
The rooftop in the car was much more lively at this time, and everyone was exchanging the scenery outside the window and their own competition......
Xing Yu and Shi Hui didn't even wear helmets, but they just fastened their seat belts, the helmet was stuffy and stuffy, and they couldn't take a shower and wash their hair, and there was a smell in the helmet.
Professional racers, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, are required to wear fireproof masks, helmets, Hans, fireproof underwear, racing suits, racing gloves, fireproof socks, and racing shoes.
Even if he is a non-professional enthusiast like Xing Yu Shihui, he can't get off without 18,000 pieces of equipment.
Speaking of this helmet alone, it is divided into two types: full helmet and half helmet, full helmet, that is, the whole head is tightly wrapped in the helmet, mainly used in formula car, go-kart, motorcycle, ATV, UTV such as no external protective shell directly open-top open-air racing cars. This helmet is better at protecting your jaw, which is one of the more vulnerable parts of the head, and studies have shown that 35% of all collisions have a significant impact on the chin.
As for the half helmet, it is mainly used in rally and cross-country races, where you can honestly sit in the car and drive. The safety factor of the external environment is high, and the riders naturally don't have to cover it so tightly. In fact, Sai Lao Shi thinks there is another reason. In long-distance races such as off-road and rally, the riders have to run for most of the day, and the physical exertion is high, so the riders have to be hydrated, so it is convenient to use a half-helmet and drink water without taking off the helmet.
The helmets required by the competition are certified, you can't go to the auto parts city and just buy one and want to play, in order to avoid the repetition of historical tragedies, the current helmets are fireproof, shockproof, and penetrating-proof. One of the main materials is the raw material of body armor, which can make the tank press over from above and be unharmed.
In addition to helmets, Hans is also indispensable, saying that the muscles that are stronger than other athletes in F1 racers are the muscles of the neck, and drivers often encounter huge centrifugal force generated during high-speed corners, which is a kind of inertia. Usually when we sit in the car, we are easy to be thrown when we encounter sharp turns or sudden braking, not to mention telling the speeding car, you can't finally have no problem with your head, but your neck is broken, right?
Hans appeared mainly to use with the helmet, that is, a piece of equipment that firmly fixed the head, which was a tool to protect the racer's neck.
There is a professional buckle connection between Hans and the helmet, usually put down the helmet, if Hans is not removed, the helmet can only fall behind the head, looking at it from a distance, I thought it was a two-headed monster.
In this section of the road, there are not so many dangers, and most of the riders will completely remove their helmets, blow the wind of this plateau, and see the scenery of this plateau......
When he left the base camp, Xing Yu saw that the instrument in the car showed that everything was normal, so he didn't care too much about other problems with the vehicle.
The two were talking and laughing and were driving normally, suddenly the vehicle shook, and the speed slowed down, Shi Hui downshifted and stepped on the accelerator, the speed still kept dropping, and the engine also came with the sound of pulling and pulling.
It wasn't until a while later that the vehicle completely stalled, and only the clatter of the starter could be heard, but the engine did not respond at all.
Xing Yu hurriedly checked the water temperature, oil pressure, and timing ignition, and found that the water temperature had exceeded the red line, and the oil pressure was zero......
At this time, something hit the oil pan and the vehicle leaked oil? First look at the chassis and find that there is no oil leakage.
Open the pull lock on the hood and pull out the oil dipstick to take a look; what is the situation? There is a black, carbonized solid material deposit on the oil dipstick, and there is no bright yellow at all for the oil......
The radio called for help, Shi Ningxia drove over, and took a general look, and Xing Yu's judgment was basically the same, it was the oil problem, but now the state of the engine is still quite a lot, there is a great possibility that the cylinder has been pulled, and now there is no way to check the internal state of the engine, so you can only drag it back to the camp first, open the hood and check it thoroughly, in order to have an accurate answer......
Shi Hui drove Xing Yu away with a sad and angry face, he was sitting in the car and was dragged by the car in front, and the trailer also has a certain risk, whether it is the front car or the rear car, one less person, one less risk.
At the 73.28km mark of the fifth stage of the Marathon through the East, China's best driver was bogged down in mud by the same car he drove in the No. 239.
He stepped out of the car to help the trapped car in front, and when everyone tried to pull out the trapped car in front, the tow hook rope suddenly broke, and he was hit in the face without a helmet and fell unconscious on the spot.
Later, the on-site conclusion of the medical team of the organizing committee was: "open rupture of the front top of the skull" and "brain tissue defect".
At only 32 years old, he said goodbye to the racing career he loved forever, and so far my country has achieved the best ranking in the Dakar Rally, or he has retained it, and has not been broken.
Xing Yu had no choice but to sit in the Fei Long car that followed the large army.
"What's the situation, why did your vehicle suddenly need to be rescued?" Fei Long quickly asked as soon as he got into the car.
"I don't know, there's a problem with the oil, I don't know if there was sand or something mixed in when the oil was added. Xing Yu couldn't make a better judgment at this time, and began to wonder if the wind and sand here were too big, and when the oil was changed, there was sand mixed into the oil.
"Can that be fixed? Will it affect the later games?" Wei Xiao, who was sitting in the back seat, asked nervously.
Fei Long and Ma Duo also pricked up their ears, this way of the race, if everything goes well in the later stage, Shi Hui is very likely to lift the trophy again, he has not lifted the championship trophy of the last rally, Xing Yu did not sprinkle champagne last time, this time there was a lot of hope......
"Don't ask, you won't know until you check the camp, I hope it's easy. Regarding this issue, Xing Yu didn't want to say any more, he could only look forward to going back to the certification inspection, if there was any big problem, Xing Yu didn't dare to imagine what kind of expression Shi Hui would have......
