As it gets darker, a car sits alone on the empty streets.

In the early thirties, Tokyo was not as prosperous as Shanghai, and cars were even more scarce. Seeing the car passing by, some people who got up early to beg for a living avoided it, and secretly said in their hearts, which dignitary is this, who got up so early.

The car eventually stopped in front of a mansion, and a man in a suit, glasses, and a split head stepped out of the car, accompanied by an officer with a suitcase in his hand.

The two of them did not knock on the door, and the people in the room had already heard the sound and opened the door.

"The two of you are finally here, and President Kishikiyo is waiting for you." The man spoke, leading them into the room.

Kishi Kishi was waiting in the living room, and when he saw the two of them coming in, Kishi Kishi immediately asked, "Matsudaira-kun, is this the case?" ”

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Matsudaira-kun replied.

The man surnamed "Matsudaira", named Takazaburo Matsudaira, was born into a Japanese aristocracy, studied mechanics in Europe when he was young, and now works as a watch engineer in Citizen.

I saw Takazaburo Matsudaira take the box, and then slowly opened it, only to see that there were eight pieces similar to pocket watches inside.

These are all timers used in athletics.

Takazaburo Matsudaira took out two of the counters, handed them to Kishikiyo's hand, and said, "President Kishikiyo, these two timers have been specially modified according to your requirements. When you press the timer, the hands will move normally, and when the hands reach 10.7 seconds, they will automatically stop, so you can give it a try. ”

Kishi Kiyoichi took the timer, then pressed the start button, only to see the hands start to move, and after ten seconds, it automatically stopped. The timer shows exactly the result of 10.7 seconds.

Kishi Kishiichi nodded approvingly: "Matsudaira-kun is one of the top watch engineers in Japan, and it is amazing that he can stop the timer in a specific position and be accurate to the tenth of a second!" ”

"Thank you, Chairman Kishikiyo, for the compliment!" Matsudaira Takazaburo pointed to the other six timers in the box: "These six timers, I have also modified according to your requirements, after pressing the switch, the hands will be delayed by 0.1 seconds before starting, this delay is difficult to detect with the naked eye." Compared to the two timers, this modification is much simpler. ”

"It's really hard Matsudaira-kun." Kishi Kishiichi opened his mouth to thank him, and at the same time asked people to put away all eight timers.

Matsudaira Takazaburo looked like he wanted to say something, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Chairman Kishikiyo, please forgive me for talking too much, is what I have done contrary to the moral character of fair competition in sports......

"Matsudaira-kun, I know what you're going to say, but it's all for the future of Japan!" Kishi Seiichi didn't explain much, but continued: "Matsudaira-kun, you are an excellent engineer, everything I asked you to do today, I hope you ......"

"I see what you mean." Takazaburo Matsudaira said directly: "Today's incident, I will rot in my stomach and will not tell anyone!" ”

……

The final day of the 100-meter sprint of the Far Eastern Games.

Four competitors took to the track.

The innermost lane was vacated. Japan's Kenjiro Oka was in the second lane, Yoshioka Lund was in the third lane, the Philippine player Steve was in the fourth lane, and Chen Qiang was the outermost fifth lane.

At the finish line, iron staircase chairs were also set up, and eight timekeepers sat on them, with one runner for each of the two timekeepers.

The modified timers have already been sent to the timekeepers, and the two timekeepers who time for Yoshioka Lud are specially arranged by Kishi Seiichi, and the timers in the hands of these two people are the two timers that can automatically stop at 10.7 seconds. Once the race starts, all they have to do is press the start button and the timer will automatically stop at 10.7 seconds.

The other six people's timers are the ones that start with a delay of 0.1 seconds.

According to scientific research, the human response limit is 0.1 seconds, so this 0.1 second delay is just at the response limit of human physiology, and the use of a pointer timer in this era is easy to cause visual deviations to people, and the delay of 0.1 seconds is almost imperceptible.

In other words, except for Yoshioka Lund, the other three athletes will be 0.1 seconds slower before the start.

Kishi Kishiichi was unscrupulous in order to let Yoshioka Lude brush up the Asian record. He was afraid that other athletes would be faster than 10.7 seconds, so he had this arrangement.

Before the race even started, Kishi had already prepared a new Asian record for Yoshioka Lund, which Yoshioka of course did not know. At this time, Yoshioka Lund was still seriously doing pre-game warm-up exercises.

It was the final and the atmosphere was a bit tense before the game. Although the two Japanese runners, Takatoku Yoshioka and Kenjiro Oka, were on two adjacent tracks, they did not communicate with each other. Perhaps Kenjiro Oka felt that he should not disturb Yoshioka Lund at this time, but should let him concentrate on adjusting his state.

Steve is also silent, James did not enter the finals, and he has no one to quarrel with, is it difficult to let him talk alone? Even if he was alone, no one answered, and the three around him were all Asians, and Steve felt that none of them knew English.

Chen Qiang understands English and speaks it very well, but he won't talk to Steve, the game is about to start, and Chen Qiang doesn't have the spare time to chat with international friends.

As the starter gave the order, the four runners bowed down one after another, ready to start, and the atmosphere on the scene became more tense.

The starter pulled the trigger, and after the gunshots rang out, the four runners had already rushed off the track.

Chen Qiang's start was not wrong, and he was not outstanding, so he could only be regarded as decent. But even this kind of decent start can blow up all the sprinters of this era. It can be said that as long as Chen Qiang does not make a mistake at the start, he will definitely be able to take the lead by starting off.

In the stands, Gu Sansanwu frowned, it was the third time he had seen such a start.

The first time was when he was in Fudan High School, when Gu Sansanwu did not pay attention to Chen Qiang's starting posture.

The second time was in the preliminary round of the Far Eastern Games yesterday, Gu Sansanwu faced Chen Qiang's start for the first time, and Chen Qiang had already led two Americans in the first 20 meters after the start, which left a deep impression on Gu Sansanwu.

Today is the third time, Gu Sansanwu's eyes widened, and he began to carefully observe Chen Qiang's start, but from the time the athlete received the "SET" command to the gunshot, the interval between it was too short, and Gu Sansanwu couldn't collect useful information at all by relying on his eyes alone.

After the start, Chen Qiang still lowered his head and rushed forward, and once again came into the eyes of Gu Sansanwu.

"Wouldn't it be faster to rush forward with your head down like this?" Gu Sansanwu said secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, after 20 meters, Chen Qiang took the lead again, exactly the same as yesterday in the preliminary race.

"He's got a faster start!" Gu Sansanwu had an impulse in his heart, he really wanted to go up to the runway to test this new start for himself.
