Chapter 1024 Boat Racing
Professor Erbach was relieved to hear the assurances of the two of them, in fact, he was the best at metal materials, and became famous for it, followed by brewing beer.
Although he has a keen eye for machinery and is quick to realize its function, he still lacks a knowledge of details.
He asked Charles, "Did you calculate this?"
Charles shrugged his shoulders, "I'm calculating what they're doing, there aren't so many tricks in the mechanical world, it's enough to be our own and stronger and better than the other party." ”
He Dou Dagger nodded, this word was to his liking.
He asked Charles again, "How do you say the boat will drive from Niudu Academy today?"
Charles thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this ship is not very flexible, so it will run at maximum speed in a straight line on the north and south sides, and slow down and turn to avoid it when there are many ships on the west side." ”
"It's just that there is a lot of shallow seagrass in the east water, and I hope their propellers don't get entangled, and they may go around in a big circle. ”
"Our boat is not afraid of aquatic plants, even waist-high water, and can walk in shallow water without having to detour so far. ”
He Dou Dagger suddenly asked, "Your waist or mine?"
Charles glanced at the Dwarven Pope speechlessly and said, "Your waist is okay too." ”
At this moment, a fireball flew into the sky, and then exploded into a meal of bright red roses, and the game began.
Professor Erbach laughed, "That old guy is always so fancy. ”
Charles didn't answer, he kept an eye on the rowing boat on the sea.
Driver Leo flicks the switch with his right hand and pushes the power lever all the way to the end with his left hand, and all six waterjets start at the same time at maximum power.
A row of white columns of water erupted at the same time, and the silver rowing boat rushed forward like a bullet out of the chamber, reaching top speed in a matter of seconds.
The students of Shield Bridge College were afraid to go out, and they saw the bow of the boat as it increased speed, for fear that it would do a backflip.
Fortunately, the weight balance of the glasses brother and Leo's own weight weighed down the bow of the boat, and the boat sped away from the waves with a slightly upturned posture in front of it, leaving only a long white spray.
On the other hand, the start of the rowing boat of Niudu Academy was half a beat slower, the switch of their racing engine was a knife type, and the acceleration performance of the engine was also a little worse.
The muscular pilot sits at the stern of the boat, controlling the power output with one hand and the rudder firmly in the other, which is a laborious job.
Although the start was a little slower, the gap between the two boats was not too big, and if Leo made the slightest mistake, he would fail.
If you look down from the sky, the two racing boats are slowly heading towards the open sea with their long white tails.
In previous races, this was in preparation for the next step, and when we reached the west, the farther away from the island, the more scattered the boats would be from the harbor, which would be easier for the boats to avoid.
This is the most dangerous stage of the race, and the slightest mistake can lead to the ship's destruction.
Seeing that he was about to cross the westernmost part of the island, Leo began to control the boat to make a sudden right turn and sped towards the harbor, where he could already see the sailboats entering and leaving the harbor in front of him.
Pre-race route planning is part of the competition.
A group of men did the math for a long time, and came to the conclusion that it was easier to take a risk of taking a shortcut and passing through a denser group of sailboats at a slower pace than it was to go around in large circles at the same high speed as usual.
This is due to the high maneuverability of the vector vents of the waterjets, as well as the courage of Leo himself.
At the same time, this sudden turn will catch the opponent off guard, creating psychological pressure on them, whether they follow up or drive according to the original plan.
The runners of the Niudu Academy behind him were really surprised, but they didn't dare to keep up, he was not confident in the maneuverability of this row? I can only go ahead as planned.
But he wasn't too worried? He also has a killer feature.
Leo slowed down the boat a little? She flipped a switch that was improvised on? A long rod of several metal cylinders popped out of a box in the stern? The school flag of Shield Bridge Academy was instantly unfurled in the wind.
At the top of the flagpole is a magic amplification device? It can transmit sound five or six hundred meters away.
Leo put on sound-isolating earmuffs? And then turned on the switch? Charles's "Orchid Grass" played with suona instantly floated on the sea.
In this way, the ships at sea can see the flag of the racing boat first? Can you hear the sound later? to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, the wind is not strong today, and the speed of ships entering and leaving the port is not very fast? Leo passed by the stern side again? Eventually, the boat sailed past the harbor area without any danger, so much so that she felt that she could have gone a little faster.
Not long after, she reached the north shore of the island.
Looking back, the rowing of Niudu Academy still doesn't know where it is.
All you need to do is push the power lever all the way down? It's okay to make a miracle out of force.
On both sides of the estuary of the Dun River, students in the audience drank drinks and ate snacks? Everyone chatted, snack vendors weaved through the crowd, and Mordred could be seen selling marshmallows.
Leo turned off the music, turned on the directional autopilot switch, and took out a bottle of juice to drink, all she had to do was control the boat around the corner.
The rowing boat of the Niudu Academy was far behind, almost a hundred meters behind.
Its pilot was attentive to the rudder, for fear of flying to shore if he was not careful.
He pulled the mana into the engines out of overload and listened carefully to the sounds of the engines.
According to the experimental results, the total overload time is longer than that of a single overload when the engine is overloaded for several short periods of time.
He can now bite his opponent from a distance, and as long as he is at full power in the final sprint, he can cross the finish line in one step before the engine is scrapped.
However, when he drove to the east, Leo made another sharp turn and drove into the shallow waters near the shore.
The driver of Niudu Academy gritted his teeth and could only gamble, so he manipulated the racing boat and followed the opponent's wake into the shallow water.
The water jets are not afraid of aquatic weeds, and the waves generated when the boat passes at high speed will wash the aquatic weeds to the bottom, and it is to take advantage of this that the drivers of the Ushido Academy passed through the shallow water unharmed.
Leo looked back at the other party, not careless, he didn't dare to surpass himself here.
However, this does not mean that Leo will sit idly by, she knows the depth of the water here, and knows where she can and can't.
She had also seen the other party's boat just now, and knew that it required a minimum water depth that was deeper than her own.
She doesn't want to put the decisive decision until the end, so she can solve her opponent here.
So Leo quietly walked to the shallow place, where there were not many aquatic weeds, but the reef at the bottom of the sea would cause problems for the other party's propellers.
After a few minutes, the silver boat suddenly made a turn and headed out for the open sea.
The Niudu Academy players behind him were stunned for a moment, and then there was a violent friction sound from the bottom of his row.
His attention was always on the other man, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, the propeller of his race boat had already hit the reef several times.
Now he couldn't care about so much, and immediately turned the rudder and left as fast as possible, lest the rowing be finished and he would not be able to finish the race.
But it was too late, and another violent shaking and grinding sound came from the bottom of the ship, and an engine was knocked off the ground by the reef under the sea.
