Chapter 81: "Black Technology" to Dominate the Arena
Wu Lihan's mouth opened wide in surprise: "Why is the bottom of his board so slippery?" ”
Li Changyi showed a look of sudden realization: "It's a very high-grade ski wax, right?" ”
It was their first time to go abroad for training, and in addition to English classes, they were also interspersed with basic skiing courses, including the maintenance and waxing of skis.
A true skier will take care of his skis every day to protect the surface from "trauma", when in fact the skis should not be on the underside, but on the snow wax on the underside. After applying ski wax, the bottom surface can be made without snow and snow stagnation, and a certain speed can be increased to facilitate the coherence and smoothness of the skiing.
Li Changyi cherishes the luxury board that his master gave him, and he usually has to wax and maintain it after use. But the ski wax used is obviously not comparable to the high-entropy one.
Today, he found the reason as soon as he touched it: "I have studied the competition process before, and his acceleration on the anti-slope of the jumping platform is particularly high, and it seems that it is because of this black technology." ”
Wu Lihan slapped his forehead: "No wonder, could it be that he just won us by cheating?" ”
Li Changyi recalls the first time he competed with high entropy, and his father Pete claimed to have gone to the car to get skis and snowboards, and it took a long time to come back, apparently because he was waxing in the car.
And yesterday, after accepting the challenge, Gao Entropy claimed to be familiar with skis, apparently buying himself time.
He finally nodded affirmatively: "He must have secretly waxed last night." ”
Wu Lihan touched the underside of the ski, still showing a surprised look: "But such a slippery board, it's not easy to control." ”
Li Changyi's gaze fell on the sharp steel blade on the edge of the snowboard: "Practice makes perfect, just like a skater can move freely on the ice." ”
Ullihan encouraged, "Hey, let's try it on the track?" ”
"Okay, try it!"
This new discovery gave the two of them great encouragement, they all have one nose and two eyes, and his high entropy is not a big deal.
Li Changyi is looking forward to changing into this ski and breaking the 69-second mark.
In fact, when he got to the snow, he stuffed his foot into the bindings and found it difficult to control the board, it was too slippery to stand firmly.
Ulihan was not convinced, and immediately put on this snowboard and fell three times in a row, and his butt was about to fall into several pieces.
Li Changyi remembered Tang Huai's previous teaching, equipment is important, the strength of the athlete itself is fundamental, and high entropy should have been specially trained, so that he can control this super skiing snowboard so easily.
Since they couldn't control this training board for the time being, the two of them went to the coach to offer treasures, probably with the idea that the coach would recognize the true strength of high entropy and not praise him too much.
When Tang Huai heard the news, he looked at the skis in their hands and behaved very flatly: "Oh, I know." ”
"That's it? Don't you think his strength is actually not worthy of the name? If I had given time to learn how to control these skis, I would have ...... too."
Ulihan was very dissatisfied with the coach's attitude and couldn't help but complain to his face.
A hint of anger appeared on Tang Huai's face: "You can also slide to 67 seconds?" So what? Will you be able to compete in Norway next month? Are you a naturalized athlete? Has your name been on the hot search? ”
Now what the leaders want is to get good results with high entropy, so as to prove the correctness of naturalized athletes, no matter what level of high entropy, Tang Huai has to do his best to help him compete on the world stage.
Therefore, the whole team has to serve him unconditionally, including Li Changyi, even if he is unhappy, even if his achievements and abilities surpass high entropy, he must also be a sparring partner!
Tang Huai talked about the current situation and asked the two not to reveal the secret of skateboarding wax, so as not to bring greater psychological fluctuations to other athletes.
Li Changyi interjected: "Coach, do you want to investigate what ski wax is used for high entropy?" If the whole team promotes it, we can improve our results a lot. ”
Tang Huai shook his head: "Don't! This kind of secrecy is the foundation of his life, and we have no right to force an investigation unless he takes the initiative to tell it. I'll ask my friends abroad to inquire, and you're all rotting in your stomachs! ”
After saying this, he looked at Li Changyi and Wu Lihan's eyes again, and knew that the two of them were not convinced, so he patiently added: "Ski wax is a very deep knowledge, and you have a short learning and training time before, so I haven't talked much about it." You should now know that there are many kinds of ski wax, including solid wax, liquid wax, paste wax, powder wax, etc., and can also be divided into two types of waxing methods: raw wax and hot wax after heating. ”
He opened his suitcase, took out various bottles and cans from it, and explained that snowboard waxing should be based on the actual weather, temperature, snow temperature, air humidity, snow quality and the user's situation, wax selection, wax matching, wax coating, drying, leveling, polishing and many other procedures.
In addition to snowboard waxing, there is also the maintenance and polishing of the blade, which is also a test of craftsmanship.
"In cross-country skiing powerhouses such as Norway and Finland, the waxer team is very professional, and basically two athletes have a full-time waxer. If an athlete does well, the waxer will take 20% of the prize money! I saw their waxing team at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. ”
When Tang Huai said this, he suddenly showed a depressed look: "Our skiing started too late, and we didn't know about it before. Although some high-grade wax has been imported now, what they sell to us is obviously not the best! ”
This is not something that athletes and coaches can control, and if the national scientific research department wants to come up with specialized talents to study this, there must be enough demand first.
After appeasing Li Changyi and Wu Lihan, Tang Huai went to Shao Zhendong with this snowboard.
He recounted the discovery of high-entropy waxing and compared the difference between the use of two training boards: "If the snowboard is not waxed, it is like a bicycle tire is not pumped, and the impact on the performance is obvious, and the speed is reduced by at least 10%!" We have wax, but we don't have top ski wax, the same competition, our athletes step on ordinary waxed snowboards like pulling the handbrake to drive, how do you say to compete with foreign players? ”
He hopes that the high-level will come forward to promote the research and development work, when will it really have its own domestic high-end wax and break the technical blockade of foreign countries, so that athletes can quickly improve their performance and even compete for gold and silver.
Shao Zhendong nodded: "That makes sense, you are not the first to make this request to me, I will report to a leader and contact the relevant departments as soon as possible to study it." ”
His gaze fell on the high-entropy waxed skis: "This board is left, maybe there is value for reverse research." ”
