Chapter Seventy-Six: The Temptation of 11,000 Turns
The huge workshop seemed a little empty at this time. Dim lights shine down from the rooftop, making the space even more tranquil. But there are still voices trying to pierce this oppressive and lonely atmosphere, trying to prove that there is a sense of existence. Looking up, it was Ye Feng's slightly tired pale face illuminated by the shadowless lighting, and Lao Ye's eyes, which were already a little sunken, were still so focused at this time......
Obviously, Ye Feng was not watching a movie, but was seriously tinkering with something against a precise and abnormal engine. At this time, Gu Qing, Zheng Xiao and Gu Lin were surrounded by him, and the rest of the workshop had already gone home from work. And the backbone of their convoy was anxiously looking at Ye Feng who was concentrating on work at this time, and Gu Qing even took the initiative to give Ye Feng a start......
……
In fact, in the recent period, Ye Feng has spent such an intent. It wasn't until such a long time passed that Ye Feng figured out what it meant to start a CCC team from scratch with the goal of winning the championship......
First of all, the work of creating a complicated team was almost all done by Ye Feng alone, from the application materials and the structure of the team. And the joining of McDonald's and KFC also quickly became eyebrow-raising, although Ye Feng did not need to keep an eye on it personally, but the necessary coordination and communication work still needed to be done by him, a direct investor.
In addition to that, there are several cars that are tailored to the team's drivers. It's like in Formula 1 where the main driver is tailor-made for the right car. Ye Feng and Senna also made this request to themselves. At the beginning, maybe Senna and Ye Feng were going to use this team as a springboard, but when it came to actual operation, characters like the two of them, who always pursued perfection in everything, couldn't help but work hard.
In the choice of vehicles, Ye Feng and Senna quarreled once. Senna's meaning is actually very simple, in a practical sense, choosing a Japanese car for modification is much simpler for Ye Feng and the entire workshop personnel. Moreover, in the Chinese environment, the modification of Japanese cars is much more complete than that of European cars, and the modified parts and ready-made modification plans will speed up the modification progress of racing cars a lot.
But this is definitely unacceptable to Ye Feng. No matter how realistic Lao Ye is, he can't accept that he drives a Japanese racing car to participate in the CCC competition. Therefore, after several arguments, the prototype of the team's racing car was still set as VTS, but according to the regulations of the CCC participating vehicles, Ye Feng purchased the domestic Seine VTS2.0 front-wheel drive version of Fukang this time. Therefore, in front of the whole workshop, in addition to modifying according to Ye Feng's almost demanding requirements, these "VTS" must be modified into a four-wheel drive version that is more suitable for field competitions.
Fortunately, there is Senna, a master of modified racing cars, fortunately, there are many top technical and design materials hidden in the belly of the car god, and it is even better that they have already had the experience of modifying VTS once. Otherwise, Ye Feng and his workshop would not have been able to complete the modification task of 3 racing cars in just one and a half months. It is also the three super CCC cars with 11,000 rpm and 260 hp in its class......
However, there is still a little bit of a distance from the final completion, that is, the 11,000 rpm engine designed by Ye Feng and Senna for the new VTS race car has not been successfully realized for a long time. 10,000 rpm seems to be the limit of this engine, which is limited by racing regulations and cannot change the mid-cylinder. The engine bought from Shenlong as a test was exploded by Lao Ye and them, and the top imported forged piston was used, and the speed was only increased to about 10,000 rpm and 500 rpm.
Without the right engine, Ye Feng and Senna's most awesome CCC race car can only be a joke. Gu Qing and they can only drive a VTS of about 9000 rpm to compete with other Japanese racing cars, although the 9000 rpm VTS with 225 horsepower is still very competitive, but Ye Feng and Senna hope to let Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao win the race steadily, after all, in modern racing competitions, the advantage of racing cars is becoming more and more important. Therefore, they did not want to give up on this bold attempt until the last minute......
And if only that's it, Ye Feng still has to train as usual every day. I got up at 7:30 in the morning and started morning exercises, and I had to learn XOFC with Catherine, who had made an appointment, until I finished the design in the evening. In his sleep, he had to follow Senna to learn his whimsical racing theories that he would talk about whatever he wanted. You can imagine how busy Ye Feng is every day......
In addition, in the construction of the team's technical team, Ye Feng's good luck has also come to an end. In addition to having an expert in tires like A Bing MM to rely on, Ye Feng can no longer find someone to rely on in the technical aspects of racing. Even if the recruitment announcement has been posted for a long time, a suitable master has not been recruited.
Although Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao are both masters of modified cars, one is injured, the other is undergoing high-intensity training, and they have to drive Ye Feng's modified car for heavy test work, and they are no longer able to separate. It was only at this moment that Ye Feng deeply felt the extreme lack of top talents in China's racing, and these things are definitely not something that can be bought with money, this is a huge gap with the world level......
So, every time at a critical moment, Ye Feng found that the only person he could rely on was himself. It's not that Lao Ye doesn't know the importance of assistants, but there is really no one who can make Ye Feng feel at ease to entrust some important work at hand.
However, Ye Feng actually knew that compared to others, he was actually very lucky. Because of Gu Qing, his father Gu Panxiong and Zhang Fengsheng immediately injected 6 million sponsorship into Ye Feng's team, and also found a building for Ye Feng as the team's base camp and office space!
In addition, Ye Feng's VTS and test engines were also bought by Gu Panxiong. There are also two people who also used their connections to play a big role when Ye Feng applied for the team. This has solved many of Lao Ye's thorny problems, and Ye Feng and Senna are already extremely satisfied with this, they were originally ready to fight alone......
And now, Lao Ye, who was wearing a mask, was nervously doing the final debugging work for the engine, and it would not be long before the answer would be given to whether this engine would succeed or turn into a pile of scrap metal......
……
Gu Qing, who was giving Ye Feng a hand, turned his head to look at Zheng Xiao, and the latter was also looking at him with a solemn expression. Both men saw surprise and deep anticipation in each other's eyes.
Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao are both experts in changing cars. No one knows better than them what it means to make more than 10,000 rpm and 260 hp for an engine that can't replace the exhaust manifold and mid-cylinder in the face of racing regulations. That's as much power as a 6-cylinder engine with a 10-cylinder engine.
And to get the engine to rev up to such an extent is undoubtedly a crazy decision! In order to meet such design requirements, the special high-lift engine connecting rod and cooling system on the 10,000-rpm engine engine will bring unprecedented and enormous pressure! Anyway, even if Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao have seen a lot of knowledge over the years, they have never seen such a crazy modification plan from Lao Ye.
But once it succeeds, the meaning is even greater! In China's CCC competition, all the cars are basically selected at 9000 rpm 210 hp, if Ye Feng can build an engine of more than 11000 rpm 250 hp in accordance with the competition rules, then the impact on other teams is absolutely devastating. Gu Qing and the two believed that with their ability, they would be able to easily take the championship into their arms.
And Gu Qing thought about it again, if this car had been multiplied by the air intakes without the restrictions of racing regulations, and after adding supercharging and replacing some other devices, it would have reached at least 5 or 600 horsepower, and the No. 1 driver of the team couldn't help but feel dizzy every time......
What a crazy boy! But it's really exciting!
……
Gu Lin, who was wearing a mask, seemed to be a little unable to stand the quiet and depressing atmosphere in the workshop at this time. Under the light, the girl's beautiful eyes stared at Ye Feng's side after glancing at Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao......
The more boy-like guy in the light was so focused, and his eyes staring at the engine were now so full of tenderness, as if it were his lover in front of him. And since her brother joined this guy's team, the girl always can't help but come over after work in this workshop to watch these men busy with their work, and then the four of them have dinner together, and then go home to practice XAG with that Yestar, which has been the case every day lately.
And every time Gu Lin came here, he could always see Ye Feng's focused expression, which was completely different from the usual look every time he saw this guy who usually laughed and had no cultivation!
Every time he saw the focused Ye Feng, Gu Lin's heart would silently swell up a little strange! How much more surprising is there in this seemingly unlearned guy? From the first assault on the NASCAR executives, to the wonderful overtaking and explosive cylinder explosion on the Longquan Circuit, to the surprising and breathtaking car modification at this time. And Gu Lin, who also knows the structure of the car very well, also understands what Ye Feng will mean if the test is successful......
Ye Feng inadvertently touched Gu Lin's heart of the strange man who had been silent for 23 years, and attracted the girl's attention tightly and unreservedly again and again. It's just that the two people involved don't know about it......
……
How much else is out of the ordinary? This is a question that Gu Lin has been thinking about lately! At this moment, a crisp engine roar interrupted the girl's gradually confused expression, and then the voice slowly became louder and gradually stabilized.
The girl looked up again, and the engine was spinning at high speed like a primitive monster that was constantly roaring, and the speed on the meter next to it was steadily climbing until it crossed the red line that marked success......
At this time, the two men next to him, who were usually very restrained, also let out an excited roar.......
