Chapter 117: Falling Behind at the Beginning

At this time, Dr. Wright had already opened the doorway, two tanks, both of which were forty tons, one with 1,000 horsepower and one with more than 700 horsepower, according to which, the former should have an absolute advantage, however, it is not entirely certain now, because this is still related to the matching of the transmission system and the driver's technology.

In particular, the matching of the engine and the transmission system is quite important, many car companies can manufacture engines with similar technology, but the gearbox can not be built, buy someone else's, the match is not good, resulting in the final actual performance can not be played, such a situation is too common.

The matching of the 8V-92TA type 8-cylinder diesel engine on the Jaguar tank and the XTG-411 transmission is already quite perfect, and what about the great powers of the East? If this set is developed by themselves, then there must be a problem in terms of matching, and it will definitely not be particularly perfect.

So, let's keep watching.

After opening it, it suddenly became cold outside.

As long as it is not in a combat state, it is necessary to drive with its head exposed, almost like riding a motorcycle, with a cold wind blowing in and deep into the bone marrow.

However, Qin Zhenhua has long been accustomed to this kind of cold weather, and he did not wear a winter tank hat on his head, but wore a leather hat without any image, and his ears were lowered and tied together with ropes, wrapping his head tightly.

What about Thomas on the other side? He also showed his head, with a tank helmet on his head, and put down the goggles, at this time, it looked very foreign, similar to the comparison between the two tanks, one is improved by the West, high-spirited, quite bluffing, and the other is from a large country in the East, which does not look so tall and rustic, but it is definitely easy to use.

The tanks rumbled to the starting end of the range, where Dr. Wright was also interested, and personally stood in the middle of the front of the two tanks, and then, holding a small red flag.

This guy is not afraid of death, if a tank makes a mistake and crashes into the middle, he will be crushed to death.

The two tanks are side by side, with a distance of about ten meters between them, and it is said that as long as they are not too outrageous, they will be fine, but this thing, where is it clear.

If you watch those Hong Kong and Taiwan films, here should be a modern girl, who personally fades her original flavor, and then waves three times, and there are countless people shouting around, and now? Although there was no such scene now, the atmosphere was already tense.

The race is about to begin!

Thomas over there stepped on the accelerator a few times, and every time he stepped on it, the engine in the tail roared once, looking very powerful, and the 85 tank here was just waiting there quietly, idling slowly.

Thomas was there, and he couldn't help but want to hum, and Dr. Wright, who was in front of him, shook the little red flag in his hand three times, and then put it down suddenly.

At the moment of letting go, Thomas slammed the throttle to the bottom and took off with a planned ejection. Tanks are built for use, unlike those who take out loans to buy cars and want to idle and drive, tanks are almost always made of floor oil.

Be sure to outdo each other at the start! Let the other person look at the matching of their engine and drivetrain to see what is best.

Wait, what's going on?

Just after stepping on the bottom, the expected feeling of pushing back on the back did not come, the tank had already begun to move forward, but it was not moving fast, and even, he could hear the sound of the tracks on both sides idling.

Not good!

In his heart, he immediately reacted and made a mistake!

From the outside, the Jaguar tank on the left, the tracks began to spin wildly, planing the ground on both sides, the ground was naturally covered with snow, at this time, the tracks on both sides were constantly planing, and the snow flakes flew up in the sky from the back of the tracks, just like a snow machine in a ski resort.

The start of the tank, not even at a normal level, slow like a snail!

The torque output is too large!

Driving on the snow is a doorway, usually starting to hang a gear, starting on the snow, you have to hang a second gear, because the first gear has a large speed ratio, large torque output, and small friction resistance on the ice and snow road, it is easy to slip. The same is true for the automatic car's dedicated snow mode, which raises gears and prevents tires from slipping.

It's like driving a car, it's like it with tanks. Driving on ice and snow roads, remember not to output too much power, otherwise, the tracks on both sides will also slip, and the tracks, once they slip, can dig out two grooves in an instant.

Although he couldn't see what was going on either side of the tracks, Thomas knew that he must be lagging behind, and in the snowflakes raised by his tank, the 85 tank on his right side had started steadily.

Qin Zhenhua didn't step on the accelerator to the end like Thomas, he just stepped on it halfway, started steadily, and there must be a gap between speeding up and ordinary road surfaces, but now you can't grab this!

His tank surpassed the Jaguar tank at the start, and Thomas over there was a little aggrieved in his heart, but he couldn't complain afterwards.

People have already said in advance, it is cold and snowy outside, whether to let their familiar test driver to drive, is Thomas himself unwilling, if it goes down for a while, and then on the grounds that he is not familiar with driving on the ice and snow road, it can only cause people to laugh.

Just by starting, you are already behind, and this is quite demoralizing, just like running in a race, falling behind at the beginning, and then thinking about catching up at full speed, and when you catch up, your strength is also exhausted, so you must compete for the position in front at the beginning.

Outside, the audience is huge.

When the two tanks drove past Dr. Wright, the snowflakes covered his body, and the tracks on both sides were completely different.

Dr. Wright shook his head, Thomas, an old friend, was too anxious, but it was only a temporary laggard, and there was still a chance to catch up.

There are also benefits to being behind, because when you are behind, you know where the goal is, and what about the front? The person in front can't see the back, doesn't know how far the opponent is from him, and there will be an invisible psychological pressure.

We'll see.

The cold wind, whizzing, blows on the face, making people feel unusually sober. Qin Zhenhua only feels that he is in a good mood today, come on, 85 tanks! This challenge must be won.

For the 85 tank, it was indeed a challenge, because according to the environment of the target exporting country, no tests in cold areas were carried out at all, and tropical tests were the most important items.

However, Qin Zhenhua believes that the 85 tank will not let him down.
