When the time came to 9:50, Liu Xing checked all the places on the dhow, confirmed that there was no problem, and set his eyes on the referee. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info qualifiers departed from Cannes on the Palm Beach and traveled more than 30 nautical miles to the seaside town of Taeule.

There are four key points that must be mastered when manoeuvring a dhow: headwind, downwind, upwind, and wind. In all four cases, the sail needs to be adjusted to a specific sail angle to achieve the effect of using the wind to drive the sailboat.

The moment the clock ticked to ten o'clock, the referee pulled the trigger heavily. With a creak, the sailboat gradually sailed out of the harbor, getting faster and faster. Liu Xing glanced at the eight people in the same group, feeling the direction of the wind while slightly adjusting the sail angle.

The eight contestants all knew that there was a big tyrant who decided to sponsor the competition, so they were all full of energy. The prize money for first place in the regatta was already a million euros, but now it is almost eight million euros.

Even if they are rich, eight million euros is not a small amount for them. This money is enough for them to live comfortably for a few years, and they can change a yacht for themselves and support a few young and beautiful models or celebrities.

The sailboat left the port, the wind direction was windward, Liu Xing tightened the rope, played the rudder with one hand, and drove along the zigzag route. A wave hit, and the sea water directly soaked the whole body, and it instantly came to the heart.

The other competitors weren't much better, several had slowed down the boat, and one of them was almost knocked off the boat by the waves. Fortunately, he reacted in time, and his hands immediately grabbed the rope.

After driving less than a nautical mile, the wind direction changed again, this time in a crosswind. The waves blew from the side in waves, and Liu Xing first adjusted the sail angle to 45 degrees, and then adjusted it slightly. The sailboat sped forward at once, and its speed increased considerably.

By now, he was nearly fifty meters ahead of several other sailing boats, and his skills were immediately apparent.

On the yacht a few hundred meters away, Sa Beibei waved his fist excitedly and said to the camera: "As long as Liu Xing continues to maintain his current performance, he will definitely be able to enter the next round of the competition." ”

Zhang Sanshi nodded, "Now that the competition has just begun, Liu Xing will be able to surpass the distance of fifty meters from several other sailing boats. By the time he reached Taiwule, he would have left the others out of sight. However, there is too much uncertainty in the regatta, and I hope he will not let his guard down and capsize in the gutter. ”

Under Liu Xing's nimble control, the sails of the dhow seem to come to life, flexibly shuttling between the four wind directions. Regardless of the direction of the wind, the speed did not decrease in the slightest, and the distance from the other seven sailing ships became farther and farther away.

Ten meters passed, and Liu Xing was almost 800 meters ahead of the others.

By this time, several contestants no longer had much to win, and their eyes looked desperately at the small dot in the distance. This is too bullying, do you have a sophisticated machine in your body, and every manipulation is just right, just like the standard in the textbooks.

Liu Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the drone overhead, and when this episode of the show is broadcast, his driving skills should be full. Thinking of this, he dodged a wave with full rudder and moved forward along the designated course with full power.

In the small town of Cannes, the person in charge of the organizer, Eugene, looked at the computer screen with burning eyes, and said to the staff next to him: "Who is the No. 4 participant, this level is to win the Olympic Games, you can get a medal." ”

The staff turned on the computer and flipped through it, "Do you remember that a few days ago, a program team donated 50 million soft girl coins to us as a reward for the first place in the sailing competition." The program group is called "All-round Challenge", which was planned by Liu Xing, the fourth contestant. ”

Eugene nodded suddenly, "It turned out to be him, I was still a little puzzled before, why did the other party ......"

After driving 20 nautical miles, Liu Xing threw the others out more than 3,000 meters. Seagulls hovering over the sailboat, the blue sea and blue sky are beautiful, and you can already see the small seaside city of Taiwule.

The remaining seven contestants also picked up their pace, fighting for the remaining spot in the cut. However, whenever their eyes inadvertently swept over the black spot in front of them, their mood could not be calmed down.

Twenty nautical miles ahead of us by 3,000 meters, is this possible? He can't be cheating, putting an accelerator or a propeller under the sailboat, this speed is simply unscientific!

Liu Xing didn't care what others thought, as he took longer and longer to control the sailboat, the skills in his mind gradually turned into instinct. The speed of the dhow increased again, almost reaching the theoretical limit.

Ten nautical miles have passed, and Sa Beibei and the others have not paid attention to the other seven contestants, and they secretly feel sorry for them. What you encounter is a monster with an IQ of more than two hundred and five, no matter what it is, as long as you learn a little, you can master it perfectly, and you will not be wronged if you lose to him.

At the finish line, the referee looked at the time, frowned and said to the staff member next to him: "This guy is finally here, and I don't know how much money he stuffed the program team at the beginning, and he was more than 20 minutes behind the others." ”

Seeing Liu Xing's sailboat docked on the shore, the referee wrote down the time, walked up to Liu Xing and said, "You are the second group of No. 7, your score has been registered, go to the lounge next to you to rest." ”

Liu Xinggang sold a few steps, and his pace immediately slowed down, the second group of seven? Am I not the number four of the third group? He touched his nose, turned around a little embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Referee, you seem to have made a mistake, I'm not the second group of sevens." ”

The referee looked at the registration book, and carefully looked at Liu Xing's face, his pupils shrank, and his mouth seemed to be able to stuff a duck egg. The No. 7 contestants in the second group are Asian, so as soon as they saw Liu Xing coming, they had a preconceived idea, regarded Liu Xing as the other party, and made an oolong.

"And who the hell are you?"

"I'm the number four in the third group."

"What!" The referee's voice raised several points.

The second group of competitors started at 8 o'clock, and Liu Xing's third group was at 9 o'clock, with an interval of one hour. And Liu Xing's result was only twenty minutes slower than the previous group.

"If you don't believe me, you can look at my ID." Liu Xing handed over his badge and said with a wry smile. Now he didn't understand what was going on, and the judges took him for a contestant from the previous group. (To be continued.) )
