The Rally version of the Mitsubishi Pajero is indeed very powerful, because in the cooperation agreement signed between Longteng and the Dakar Rally Organizing Committee, it is clearly required that every aspect of the game should be as real as possible, so it is taken care of a lot in the game setting, such as the Mitsubishi team's sponsorship funds are the most sufficient, the vehicle failure rate is the lowest, and the variety of modified accessories is the richest.

James chose Pajero to compete and easily received $5.5 million in sponsorships from a number of Japanese companies, enough for him to enter the tuning shop and choose to buy auto parts.

With this amount, there are about 2 million US dollars to modify the Pajero, 3 million to build a support fleet and purchase abundant spare parts, and the remaining 500,000 to buy insurance and bear the freight, which is quite a money-burning car game.

However, Mitsubishi military entrepreneurs have a big business, and they don't care about this little money at all, they are throwing it into it with all their might, using the most advanced technology and the best accessories, that is, to get the best results and play the name of Mitsubishi Motors.

For the purpose of testing the game, James did not purchase each part by himself after flipping through the pages to view a variety of parts, but chose the best automatic allocation scheme by default of the system, which is completely based on the Mitsubishi Pajero modification list provided by the official Dakar Rally, which can definitely restore more than 95% of the real vehicle attributes.

This is also the most common choice for ordinary gamers, because not all gamers have research on car modification, and the modification of the Dakar Rally is quite professional and far from being something that some street shops can do, so the game system will give a default modification scheme.

Of course, the default scheme of the system is not open to the public. Players can only see the effect of the modified vehicle, and even Longteng himself can't get Mitsubishi's detailed modification plan. The Dakar Rally Organizing Committee only gives the results of the evaluation, as well as the results of the comparison with the performance of the original car. This can play a role in protecting the trade secrets of each fleet.

Next, quickly go through some plot CG stages, form a backup team, team departure, sea vehicles, and finally enter the event stage, the first stop is from the suburbs of Paris to the city of Clermont, 350 kilometers away, which is an hors d'oeuvres.

The urban link roads in France are very well built, and good road conditions are the favorite of large-displacement vehicles, and the driving routes designed by the organizing committee are also very reasonable. Even in mountainous and hilly areas close to the highway, signs are carefully used to indicate temporary turns onto public roads to avoid dangerous vehicles.

"The default modification of the Mitsubishi Pajero system is very effective, with double doors, no rear hatch, high-strength metal tubes to build the frame, and most of the body is composite, so the total weight does not exceed 1.7 tons. Now I feel as light as a swallow! ”

After Paris introduced the Mitsubishi Pajero number jù provided by the official Dakar Rally. James nodded, commented a few words, and was very satisfied with this number, he experienced going over mountains and mountains in the game. Walking at high speed, the pleasure of crossing the river, the vehicle control zhì is very sensitive.

"6-cylinder DOHC engine. 24-valve, 3.5-liter displacement. Max 225 hp at 4,500 rpm, all-wheel drive. Front and rear independent suspension, double-plug coil springs, adjustable damping shock absorbers! Oh, all I can say is that even when climbing over this section of the gravel and cratered ravine, there weren't too many hard collisions, and the suspension was pretty good and real! To tell you the truth, my Lancia did the same! ”

On the game screen, Pajero is quickly passing through a ruined gravel area in Guò, where there are traces of manual excavation by the engineering team, there is still stagnant water on the ground, dust and reflection on the water surface greatly affect the player's judgment, and a puddle of shallow mud may become a large trap up to 30cm deep, which is definitely a huge test for high-speed impact tires and shock absorbers!

This was the most difficult part of the first race, where many evaluators overturned or had to reduce their speed.

At this time, Pajero's instantaneous speed reached 115km/h, and James was highly concentrated, avoiding large and small potholes accurately with experience, and not slowing down as much as possible.

At the moment when the special tires of the Beloch Rally fell into a 30CM deep puddle and then jumped out again, the bumps of the whole body were not large, the screen shook very little, the vehicle balance was very good, and it seemed that the tires and shock absorbers had withstood the test!

This is an improved version of the game's premise, and when it encounters vibrations, the game screen will vibrate along with the violent shaking of the vehicle.

For example, if the vehicle flies up and spins, the player will still see a frontal vehicle, but the whole world will rotate 180 degrees until the front of the vehicle hits the ground normally, or the whole world turns upside down.

“Woooo！ That's great! It's pretty good anti-shock, all I can say is that a 1.7-ton heavy race car can do that, it's really good! They won this year's Dakar Rally, and they also have something special! True, quite real! ”

James shouted excitedly when he saw Pajero safely dodging multiple traps as if he were walking on flat ground, and being able to maintain his balance without rolling over at high speeds.

The 350-kilometer track is actually shortened to less than 8 minutes in the game, which is just 15 kilometers.

James is very experienced, averaging around 120 yards per hour, even on the toughest stretch of hard gravel and 100 yards on the highway, and 150 yards on the highway to increase his average speed.

At the end of the first level, James put down the controller and took the initiative to high-five Jiang Shaoyun, full of praise for the game.

"The first feeling I got from the game was very good, very realistic, and it would be great if I could use the steering wheel to simulate the cabin control. Moreover, I would like to add the function of manual gearing, I think more people will like it, so that you can experience the fun of racing without buying a car! ”

James's evaluation is very high, but it is difficult for him to build it like this, Jiang Shaoyun can only answer embarrassedly: "We will add the cockpit interface in the next version." As for the manual transmission, James, I'm afraid that only a professional like you can change gears distracted when you are engrossed in the road conditions at speeds above 100KM per hour, right? ”

Everyone laughed, what Jiang Shaoyun said was very reasonable, James's requirements were too high.

When playing the game, the navigator sitting in the co-pilot constantly commands the player, the complex and rugged road section strictly challenges the player's driving skills, the player's attention is focused on listening to orders and watching road races, even if there is a cockpit, it is difficult to do professional actions such as slamming the steering wheel, pulling the handbrake, and gear drifting, not all players are so professional.

There is another reason why Jiang Shaoyun did not say, it would be good if the 32-bit host could achieve such an effect, 3D modeling technology is far from fully simulating engine technology, there are so many engines in the world, like Mitsubishi's 6G74 engine, the relationship between speed and gear shift, the corresponding number of fuel injection and power, how can they provide these precious numbers to Longteng?

In the case of not slowing down or slowing down slightly, the uneven road surface, the harsh external environment, the angle of the driver slamming the steering wheel and the strength of the brakes, as well as the correspondence between the huge centrifugal force and friction force, etc., Tsinghua University has not yet sorted out the modeling of 50% realism.

Jiang Shaoyun wanted to shout, science and technology are not so easy to research!

After running three more sub-stations and trying a variety of environmental modes, James completely experienced a Mitsubishi Pajero, knew it in his heart, exited the system after archiving, and began to enter hell mode, choosing the modified pickup truck of the Great Wall Longteng team - Red Dragon Red Dragon.

The car was named RedDragon for several reasons, one is to represent the two characteristics of China's red and dragon, and the other is to thank Longteng for its sponsorship, using Dragon instead of Long's English translation, pasted on the hood of the engine, which is very conspicuous.

The team's logo is a small section of the ancient city wall of the Great Wall, and a red dragon is wrapped around the city wall with a red Long logo, which is very emotional.

The body is typically red and white, and dotted with golden flames, basically the same as the red and golden colors of the national flag, and the body is not sprayed with other paints, which is dark pearl white, and the appearance is really as cool as it gets.

It's a pity that the appearance is cool, and a few core large parts assembled inside, really don't think much, James entered the vehicle parameter settings, looked at those numbers and shook his head: "Oh, 60 points is really no good parts......"

Jiang Shaoyun can only be embarrassed, there is no way, the strength of China's automobile industry is too poor, and he has never participated in the Dakar Rally, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

The RedDragon, a test car, uses a 2.8L inline engine provided by Cummins Engine Company of the United States, with a maximum horsepower of 200 horsepower, although it is only 10% lower than the Pajero in terms of power, but there are shortcomings in other aspects.

The engine is the biggest power of the car, and without a good engine, every qiē is in vain.

The suspension system is the body of the car, even if there is a big heart, there is no solid body to support, and it is also impossible to insist on running the whole distance.

James' road to burning money began, the engine could not be changed, everything else had to be replaced, and the first thing he did was to pull sponsorship.

But then comes the problem! (To be continued......)
