"Your car ......"

After breaking out of the gravel belt, Bai Ge and Bamboo Frost descended back into Wilbur's oddly shaped car.

Bai Ge sat in the co-pilot, checked the situation in the back a little, and then looked at Zhu Shuangluo who was sitting in the back seat.

"It's not a big problem...... Just my clothes......"

It seemed that she cared more about her clothes than about the danger of almost falling.

“...... Ya, Arthur, it seems that there are all straights ahead. ”

Bamboo Frost almost called out Bai Ge's name, but quickly changed his words.

Wilbur wanted Bai Ge next to him to sit in the back, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak, he looked ahead.

The path stretches all the way to the end of the horizon, with no abyssal or special terrain, only four hidden treasures waiting to be discovered by the contestants.

Due to the activity of the gravel belt, Wilbur's oddly shaped vehicle also came to the first group, and in addition to the leading Thomas Clemen and Alexander Baplovich, there were three cars from Wilbur and Helmheim.

As for the other vehicles, after driving out of the gravel belt one after another, the order has changed more or less.

Quite a few cars started to rivet, the doors were welded, and the accelerator pedal was pressed to the end, ready to overtake the other drivers in this long sprint and get a good place.

Others have chosen other roads, seemingly clearing the game quest and getting new clues.

"Mr. Heinlein, shall we rush too?"

Wilbur said nervously, holding the steering wheel.

"No, Wilbur, on the contrary, we need to keep the speed at a constant pace, to keep the engine at its most relaxed."

Bai Ge said as he looked at the vehicles that were gradually approaching the first group and even began to overtake them.

"You see, neither the two people in the lead nor the three cars next to us continued to accelerate, and this is the right response."

Wilbur and Takeshuang looked to the side, and indeed, despite being constantly overtaken by the cars that followed, the cars showed no signs of accelerating to catch up, but instead maintained their original speed, as if they didn't notice the other contestants.

"Why is that?"

Wilbur was a little confused.

"Remember, Wilbur, this is the second lesson, and it's important to be persistent and patient."

Bai Ge said.

"This is [a marathon], in the old days, more than 40 kilometers of distance, completely completed by human legs, human and vehicle are similar, in the next part of the road, if you take an aggressive strategic sprint, then the load on the tires is quite large, it is very likely to cause problems with the tires in the final stage, especially on this wild road."

Although the normal load on the vehicle at a high speed of 300 kilometers is almost negligible, and even some cars are faster and the lower the burden on the engine, but this is in the wilderness, but also through the hot gravel belt such a harsh environment, many vehicles may have strained their engines and tires, and now accelerate, just like changing speed during a long-distance run, which is very likely to lead to vehicle failure.

Even if they finish well in the first stage, the problems caused by overdrawing the car's life will cause them to lose in the rest of the race.

Moreover, no one knows what will happen in the next 50 kilometers, and it is very likely that they will be educated if they rush to the front, which is the reason why these leaders did not rush forward.

Suddenly, more than twenty cars were already driving ahead of Wilbur and them, and since they had just passed through the checkpoint, everyone was quite peaceful, and they didn't try to stop the other cars, and the dust in the wilderness was raised, and it became hazy in the setting sun.

For a moment, the scene became very quiet, except for the roar of the engine and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

"Now there are still 20 kilometers to the finish line, and there should be cars that can't hold on."

Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision] swept over the vehicle that was gradually overtaking him, and simply confirmed.

Bang –

I saw a gray off-road vehicle in front of me suddenly make a noise, its tires went straight down, the whole car lost its balance, and soon stopped.

It was clear that its tires had been overwhelmed and were entering the twilight of its life.

Compared to the vehicle itself, the consumption of tires is much greater than many people think!

Poof—

Another car broke down, slowing down rapidly, and then a large amount of smoke came out of the front cover of the engine, which exploded with a thud, causing the driver above to roll out of the car, apparently losing the opportunity to continue racing.

This is still happening, and no one wants to give up here on these last tens of kilometers of long straights without any obstacles.

According to the flow of the race, after the first stage of the race, participants can get supplies including fuel, maintenance, tire changes, food and shelter at the finish line in New Providence, so as long as there is no major problem with the vehicle itself, even if the tire is reimbursed when crossing the finish line.

That's the problem.

Ideally, the tires will run out by the time you reach the finish line.

This requires accurate timing and limits of acceleration, and from a certain point of view, the driver needs to be familiar with his vehicle to achieve true integration of man and vehicle.

If the acceleration is too fast, it will cause the tires to be consumed in advance, and you will be out of the game with hatred.

If you accelerate too slowly and be too cautious, you will be pushed back in the order and it will be difficult to play at full strength.

Two minutes later, as if he had received some signal, Bai Ge saw that Alexander Paplovich's vehicle in front of him suddenly began to accelerate!

He finally lifted his restraint and started sprinting at top speed.

With Paplovich's changes, the other cars next to Bai Ge also began to accelerate from their original constant speed.

"Wait."

Bai Ge said simply, holding down Wilbur, who was about to speed up, and at the same time used [Assassin Vision] to check the condition of the other vehicles.

"Huh?"

He saw that one of the Helmheim cars was clearly on the verge of reaching its limit, and if it continued in its previous form, it should be able to barely reach the finish line, but if it accelerates now, there is no doubt that it will break down before the finish line.

Still, the car opted for acceleration.

"Did you say it in advance......

As a professional driver, it's impossible for a Helmheim driver not to know the state of his car, and the reason why he chose to do so is undoubtedly a strategy!

Are you going to give up your own to interfere with other vehicles, or are you going to induce more vehicles to accelerate and cut down your competitors?

Bai Ge saw that many vehicles that had suppressed their desire to accelerate before, at this moment, with the changes of those who were originally leaders, they also increased their speed, and for a while, the sand and gravel were flying, and the entire wilderness was covered with yellow sand.

Indeed, in this tense time, seeing that other cars are starting to accelerate, even if you know that the time is not yet right, you can't help but step on the accelerator.

Maybe they made the right choice, but my own judgment was wrong, and now I can speed it up.

Thoughts like these come to the driver's mind, and the whole thing starts to pick up speed.

Seeing that the car next to him continued to overtake him, Wilbur broke out in a cold sweat, but Bai Ge beside him still stood still and did not indicate that he could accelerate, which made the young man very puzzled.

"Wilbur, the tires of your vehicle are not professional off-road tires, although the wear and tear in the gravel belt just now is relatively small, but after all, they are not as good as other people's professional off-road tires, so, according to my calculations, if you keep accelerating, you will not be able to reach the finish line anyway, and in less than ten kilometers, the tires of this car will wear out, although you have spare tires, but if you stop and change, it is no different from giving up the race."

Bai Ge took the manual and simply pointed to the road ahead of the indicators.

"The terrain from Greenwich to New Providence is mostly flat wilderness, but there are some undulating places, such as the one near New Providence, where there are so many uphill and downhill climbs that intercity trains take to avoid these gentle hills."

"What the hell are you trying to say, Mr. Heinlein?"

Wilbur listened with some panic.

Bai Ge had already made a decision.

At the moment, they are close to a hundred, and they are still falling behind.

Ahead, a straight road stretches forward, and on both sides of the road, undulating hills form one hillside after another, enough for vehicles to fly.

"Wilbur, turn to the side and climb that slope."

Bai Ge said suddenly.

"But ......"

Wilbur didn't know what to do, but he honestly followed Bai Ge's meaning, deflected the direction, and drove up the hill.

On this last stretch of the road, the crowd of onlookers and reporters also increased.

The unusual movement of this oddly shaped vehicle naturally attracted the attention of many people.

On the commentary platform, the two commentators naturally noticed this situation.

“...... This car, I see, is the car of Wilbur Orwell and Arthur Heinlein, and this car seems to have deviated from the road and headed towards the hillside, is this lost? ”

"There's something strange about the shape of this car, and it reminds me of something bad."

"If it's a winding mountain road, maybe we can think that they want to take a shortcut, but on this straight road, driving up the slope is really a long way."

"Look, they're driving up."

At the same time, inside the car.

"Is it really okay, it's a cliff later......"

Wilbur looked at the widening ramp in front of him, and then at the man next to him.

"No problem, trust me."

Bai Ge said, opening the car window, and the howling dry wind ruffled his hair.

"Wilbur, the wings on your car should be more than just decoration."

He said.

"Huh?"

Wilbur was stunned.

"Accelerate!"

Bai Ge patted Wilbur's shoulder, causing him to subconsciously increase his speed to the maximum, and even the cliff in front of him didn't have time to stop Wilbur's acceleration.

At the main venue, the two commentators looked at the car rushing towards the cliff at the end of the ramp with a blank face.

"He—They rushed out!"

"Does Wilbur want to get through the air?"

At this moment, Alexander Paplovich, who was in front of the two, looked at the flying car in the rearview mirror, and his face could not contain his surprise.

"What are these people doing?"

Of course, an accident of this magnitude is unlikely to attract the attention of Fullmetal Feather, and in most cases, it is just a flash in the pan.

The final result of this car was to fall and shatter its bones.

Even if you're lucky, you can't go any further.

This is the restraint of gravity.

Just as a bird eventually falls to the earth and a meteor streaks across the sky, humans cannot break through the shackles of gravity.

However.

Baplovich saw the strangely shaped vehicle rush out of the cliff, and it was just in midair.

The bulky wings fluttered slightly against the wind.

After a brief pause, the car began to fall downward.

It was at this moment that some subtle, ineffable force lifted the car.

It suppressed its downward spiral and glided in an arc like a bird.

"It can't be!"

Paplovich exclaimed that in his cognition, no one could fly in this sky.

But the other side did it.

"No...... That's not really flying. ”

According to Paplovich's understanding, as long as the aircraft is activated, it will lead to the arrival of [Steel Feather], and now, there is no doubt that there is no sign of a natural disaster, so it is by no means a real "flight".

There must be a false impression in this.

And at this time, in the sky.

Wilbur's eyes widened, and he couldn't close his mouth from the beginning.

"Fly, fly, fly???"

He looked at the earth below, and a shiver that had never felt before hit Wilbur's back, the uneasiness of human legs off the ground, and the freedom to finally fly in the air.

"Fasten your seatbelts."

Bai Ge reminded him, and at the same time focused on controlling something in the void with his hands as if he were plucking the strings.

At this moment, in Bai Ge's field of vision, there were countless thin lines spreading in the air, and his job was to cut these thin lines and keep the car gliding.

These thin lines are made by Bai Ge, the "flaws" in the air.

In simple terms.

Bai Ge wiped out the air above the wings of the oddly shaped car, causing the air pressure to drop and the air pressure under the wings to be higher, causing the car to fly due to the air pressure difference.

If there are researchers who are keen on the technology of the old era, they will definitely recognize that this is the universal flight principle of the aircraft of the old era, at this time, Bai Ge relied on the words he had seen in the movie and copied it!

If this car didn't have that strange wing structure, Bai Ge wouldn't be able to use this means to take off, and if the road here was a completely endless plain, then Bai Ge wouldn't be able to take advantage of the altitude difference to take off.

Although it only lasts for a few seconds, although it is still far from the actual "flight".

But there is no doubt that Bai Ge is soaring in the sky at this moment!
