Chapter 11 On the Risks of Rollercoaster Rides
Time on the Ferris wheel seemed to pass much faster than outside, and neither of them realized when the pod had returned to the ground, and outside stood the principal Ange, and Lu Mingfei, who had a languishing and gloomy face.
"I attended an event with Ming Fei, and I happened to be free in the afternoon. Ming Fei said that he had never been to Six Flags Amusement Park, and he was dissatisfied with him for not giving him the task of training beautiful students, so he took him to see it." Ange said with a smile.
"I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to take it that seriously." Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly and touched his stomach, the old guy's heart and eyes are smaller than the tip of a needle, he likes to make fun of young men, the intensity of drag racing is really not acceptable, he couldn't help but vomit as soon as he got out of the car.
"I thought the principal would be a very old-fashioned old man, but I didn't expect to try mint-flavored ice cream, which is their new flavor, and it's very trendy!" Natsumi took Ange's arm and jumped up and down like a lively little granddaughter.
"Actually, I still prefer a more conservative lemon flavor, but after all, after living at such an old age, I always regret that there are too few new things left in my life, so I should choose the trendiest one and try it." Ange looked more energetic than the two young men following him, "Oh, walking with a beautiful young girl, I feel much younger, and the enthusiasm in my veins is flowing!"
"Senior brother! The old guy is disrespectful to the old, and the guards steal from themselves!" Lu Mingfei looked at the old man and the young man in front of him, who were unusually harmonious like grandparents and grandchildren, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and whispered to Chu Zihang, "I'm really not the one who deliberately stirs up trouble, if I were you, the old guy would hurt me in front of me, I wouldn't be able to swallow this breath!"
He felt a little lost in his heart, and a little relieved, it was rare to meet a stunning junior sister who could chat, and he was abducted by the senior brother with facial paralysis in the blink of an eye, but he also recognized it, and felt that Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were also quite compatible, both in appearance and temperament and communication, the senior brother with facial paralysis was like a wood in the relationship between men and women, and Xia Mi was just enough to match such a seven-trick exquisite heart, there is no shading tree in this world, only one thing descends one thing, can the shrimp sister be able to lower the facial paralysis senior brother, and can also watch the after-effects.
"What does it have to do with me?" Chu Zihang still had a stiff face.
There was a strong wind overhead, accompanied by a loud rumble and a scream that punctured the eardrums.
Overhead, the black steel rails resemble a giant snake that doesn't know its head and tail, twisting its body and twisting in an astonishing arc in the air about fifty stories high, the classic design of a roller coaster, which stops at the highest point and then swoops down like a cliff.
"Oh, that's the Atrium Serpent, the world's fastest roller coaster, 150 meters high and running at speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour." Ange said.
Lu Mingfei shuddered, because Xia Mi jumped three feet high excitedly, and stretched out his hand to point to the roller coaster that had entered the downward track.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just a mere amusement facility, and the maximum speed is only 250 kilometers per hour, which is like sprinkling water compared to the "Fast and Furious" that Lu Mingfei experienced not long ago, but after experiencing "Fast and Furious", Lu Mingfei is now a little resistant to this kind of high-speed moving vehicle.
Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi and prayed that this little ancestor would not have any interest in something like a roller coaster.
"Let's go sit there!" Xia Mi said happily.
Lu Mingfei's heart sank, and the little junior sister took the lead in speaking, the old guy who likes drag racing must not be able to count on it.
"Ho! That's amazing!" Ange really rubbed his hands, "Not bad, not bad!"
"The Headmaster is mighty!" Natsumi admired.
Lu Mingfei set his eyes on Chu Zihang, and Senior Brother Facial Paralysis was looking at the huge steel monster in the distance at the moment, his face twitching slightly.
There's a play! Lu Mingfei keenly sensed that the state of Senior Brother Facial Paralysis was wrong, stabbed Chu Zihang's arm, and whispered, "Senior Brother, I don't think your face is very good."
"I...... I'm a little worried about motion sickness." Chu Zihang whispered.
"Hey, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, it's not ashamed, it's easy to make a fool of yourself if you brace it hard, senior brother, you honestly say that your favorite amusement park project is Snow White Castle, let's go to Snow White Castle together, what do you see."
Like?" Lu Mingfei said in a demagogic tone.
"Actually, my favorite project is Winnie the Pooh and his friends." Chu Zihang said.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded, "I don't really care if it's Snow White or Winnie the Pooh who comes to save us."
"But they can't save us, this is Six Flags, not Disneyland." Chu Zihang spread his hands.
"Senior brother, can you please not show your sense of humor in strange places?" Lu Mingfei said angrily, "What kind of paradise does he have, can you find a way to slip away first?"
Xia Mi turned his head and beckoned to the two of them, "Senior brother, second senior brother! What are you two muttering there? Let's come together!"
"Not even Optimus Prime can save us now." Lu Mingfei covered his face.
Lu Mingfei fastened the safety lock, glanced at Chu Zihang who was sitting next to him, the senior brother with facial paralysis grasped the handrails on his shoulders at this time, his eyes were looking straight ahead, his face was pale, and his sitting posture was extremely upright, like facing the junior high school students who were inspecting the classroom by the head teacher, Ange and Xia Mi grabbed the first row, in order to enjoy the excitement of the first wave of headwind shuttling to the ground.
The staff is checking the safety locks for everyone and reminding, "Be sure to keep your headrests tightly in case you get too big and screw your cervical spine."
These words were even more terrifying in the dark acceleration channel, Lu Mingfei was broken, since he couldn't resist, then enjoy it, but he knew that Chu Zihang's heart was mostly up and down, so he opened his mouth and comforted: "It's okay, senior brother, it's just a few minutes, if you really can't stand it, close your eyes."
Obviously, Lu Mingfei's comfort didn't make any difference, and Chu Zihang's face didn't improve in any way.
The staff finished their checks and retreated into the darkness, the sirens sounded throughout the tunnel, and the red lights flashed adrenaline-pumping.
In an instant, the red lights went out, the sirens stopped, and the silence was suffocating for a second.
Lu Mingfei found that he was still underestimating this roller coaster, he felt that he was riding on a launched rocket, and the acceleration in this second was more exaggerated than that of Angers' Maserati! The wind pressure was so strong that it was like a pair of hands pressing their eyeballs into their sockets.
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang shouted like the other tourists, and in the midst of this heavy scream, the laughter of Ange and Xia Mi was particularly devastating......
The roller coaster quickly left the acceleration tunnel, the sun was blowing, Lu Mingfei knew that he was still too shallow before, no matter how fast Ange was, the car was just driving on the road front and back, and the roller coaster was really driving in the sky! Its orbit is not flat, but three-dimensional!
The roller coaster twisted and climbed on the track, and everything in Lu Mingfei's field of vision was spinning rapidly, and the whole world seemed to have become a kaleidoscope.
There was a very unreal feeling, the wind was howling, the blue sky and white clouds were spinning as if they were about to pounce on their arms, as if time had passed so quickly.
The scene in front of him changed, and for a moment, Lu Mingfei heard someone sigh softly.
Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze in front of him, and he didn't react a little: "I'm not going to faint with fright? It's too embarrassing."
"Brother, which one do you want to hear, good news or bad news?" Lu Mingze was dressed in casual clothes this time, and he even held a snowdrop ice cream drizzled with yellow peach sauce in his hand.
"Hear the good news first." Lu Mingfei was used to it, and said casually.
"The good news is that you're not stunned, so you don't have to worry about making a fool of yourself." Lu Mingze said with a grin.
"The bad news?"
"Bad news, nine seconds left, you're going to die."
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei frowned.
"The accident rate of roller coasters is about 1 in 250 million," Lu Mingze said, "and the risk is much smaller than that of flying."
"I know, I'm just cooperating with the call, to set off the atmosphere, the atmosphere is very important, do you understand?"
"But it won't be zero." Lu Mingze restrained his smile and said lightly.
Lu Mingfei suddenly looked at the little devil.
"Probability is such a thing, only before I ran into it
It's a number, and it doesn't matter if it's 99 percent, but if it does, it's 100 percent." Lu Mingze shrugged, "Probability is not responsible for accidents."
"You...... Don't crow's mouth!" Lu Mingfei was furious in his heart and scolded angrily.
"I'm not a crow's mouth, I'm just stating a fact." Lu Mingze said, "If you don't believe it, then go out and have a look."
"Call me if you need to!" Lu Mingze said, and the figure disappeared.
Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, his gaze was solemn, although the little devil had some bad taste, but he never had a purpose, he had to be cautious, his eyes quickly captured everything in his eyes, his mind was spinning, and he analyzed where the major crisis was.
He saw that in the distance ahead, there was a crack spreading on a small half of the rail, and the track was shattering under a strange force! No, it's not just shattering, the track is twisting! It's like a pair of big invisible hands pinching the backbone of a giant snake and twisting it, and the track is inevitably turning into a giant twist in the midst of this force!
This means that this roller coaster is turning into a death train heading to hell!
Lu Ming was not concentrating, and the sword light gradually lit up in his eyes, and within the sword steps, Chun Jun was about to move, about to come out of the sheath!
"Xia Mi, Ming Fei, Zihang!" Ange's muffled voice rang out, and time almost stood still in an instant, and the speed of the roller coaster slowed down in an instant.
The sword light in Lu Mingfei's eyes went out, Chunjun returned to his position, Ange opened the safety lock, stretched out a hand and grabbed Lu Mingfei's collar.
"It's Time Zero!" Chu Zihang was the first to react.
"What's wrong?" Xia Mi looked around blankly.
Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi vaguely, his face remained silent.
Ange pointed into the distance, and Chu Zihang and Xia Mi changed their faces together.
The small half of the rail has been disconnected, and in the slow flow of time, the half of the rail is falling under the pull of gravity.
"How much time is left?" Chu Zihang was the first to calm down and asked.
"We only have six seconds left, and I can extend time in my realm by a factor of about fifty, which is 300 seconds left." Ange said.
"Time Zero is ineffective against ordinary people, so we must come up with a rescue plan immediately, otherwise this carload of people will die." Ange said, "Hurry up."
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi both nodded, and Lu Mingfei also nodded, and no one said anything like saving their lives first.
fell into the silence of thinking on the field, Lu Mingfei was also thinking, if he couldn't think of any other way, he could only expose his specialness, and when the time came, he would make up a spirit of words, and say that he had awakened the spirit of words that operated the roller coaster.
Chu Zihang suddenly raised his head: "This roller coaster is equipped with fin-shaped magnetic brakes!"
"What's that?" Lu Mingfei was at a loss, he had never heard of this kind of professional term.
"It is a kind of equipment unique to the "level roller coaster"," Chu Zihang explained, "There are only three roller coasters in the world equipped with this system, and the roller coaster itself is not powered, it climbs the track with the initial velocity of electromagnetic acceleration, and the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and the speed of the car will gradually slow down, and the speed will be close to zero when it reaches the highest point of the track, which is why the roller coaster almost stops at the top of the track."
"The special function of the fin-shaped magnetic brake is to brake when the roller coaster is about to pass the highest point, so that the kinetic energy is not enough to pass the highest point, and the roller coaster will go backwards along the ascending track and return to the acceleration track along the same road." Chu Zihang said.
"So what kind of brake did we activate when the coaster was close to its highest point, so we could get back the way we came?" Lu Mingfei understood.
"The question is how to activate the fin brakes." Natsumi asks new questions.
"By removing the cover from the back, I can find the driving fire wire, and ignite the fin brakes in the air." Chu Zihang said, "I am a major in alchemy machinery."
Chu Zihang's words are full of the strong self-confidence of professionals, which can make people have a strong sense of trust, as long as you look at his calm face, you can know that this young man must be a reliable electrician.
"I didn't expect you to study roller coasters so deeply, senior brother!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, "Didn't you tremble when you heard that you were going to ride a roller coaster at the beginning?"
"When I was queuing, I was a little bottomless, so I checked the information with my mobile phone......" Chu Zihang said honestly.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his thumb: "Good habits! You've saved a carload of people!"
"Wow! What a handsome science student!" Natsumi also showed her star eyes.
"Strictly speaking, the alchemy machinery major should belong to engineering." Lu Mingfei corrected, his mood was also relaxed at this time, and he already had another plan in his heart.
Ange handed the folding knife to Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang took a look at the cover, directly cut the metal shell, and then easily peeled out two wires from the exposed transformer.
"A touch of these two lines activates the fin brake." Chu Zihang said, "It takes three or four seconds to brake, so you have to grasp the right time."
"Hurry up! There's not much time left!" Natsumi shouted anxiously in front.
