Chapter 124: Turn off the lights in the tunnel and kill! [1st update, must-see chapters!] 】
The onlookers of the crew were already making a fuss before Xiao Ning reached the bending point.
Screams of shock and expressions of bewilderment followed.
"Is he flying a fighter jet?!"
"Are the brakes broken? Why didn't Brother Ning slow down? Can he turn a corner at this speed? ”
"I'm on the spot! I'm the brake! Brother Ning stepped on my feet just now, felt that I was in the way, and directly demolished me! ”
"It's not! Brother Ning, this is really going to play with your life! ”
Listening to the voices of everyone in the crew, Qian Zhen, whose heart rate had already reached one hundred and eighteen, kept wiping sweat on his clothes with his hands, and his breathing was heavy and disorderly: "Unscrupulous Red Bull!" It's a lot of harm! Give me back Senior Brother Xiao! ”
Compared with the people who don't understand the situation and only feel that their scalp is numb, Xie Bin, who is more professional, has been shocked to an incomprehensible extent after seeing Xiao Ning's operation when he was about to reach the bend point.
"If you want to enter a corner at high speed, the premise is that the road is wide enough and the bend is big enough! Only then will the rider have room to adjust their attitude and line! There is more room for error! ”
"Judging from the condition of road width! There is no bend in the Autumn Styx Mountain that meets such conditions at all! ”
"But this bend before the ten-hairpin bend is indeed a high-speed bend!"
"But even if it's a high-speed bend, such a narrow road! If you can run to one hundred and fourteen, you can already say that it is against the sky! ”
"It's impossible to do 200 kilometers through a normal corner!"
"Unless!"
"Xiao Ning, this guy!"
"It's crazy! It's crazy! ”
"It's just a madman!"
"You can't see where the bend is during the day, let alone at night when your vision is limited!"
"He would choose this way to go around the corner!"
Many thoughts flashed in Xie Bin's mind in an instant.
Everyone on the Red Bull team was also nervous at this time.
As one of the most professional racing teams in the world, John, the chief engineer of the Red Bull team, had a very ugly expression at this time.
Next to him, the other personnel in charge of logistics and technical support also had very ugly faces.
The melon-eating crowd in the crew couldn't see what Xiao Ning was going to do, they only knew that his speed was very fast, so fast that even the crossing drone followed by Red Bull couldn't keep up.
But Xie Bin and the people of Red Bull can see it!
Xiao Ning, he's going to drift!
In highly professional drift races, drifting at very high speeds is actually very common.
But the road conditions of the track site are hundreds of times better than those of the Autumn Mountains!
If nothing else, the track of the professional drift race is spacious enough and the margin for error is very high! Even if the driver makes a mistake in the details, there is still plenty of room to save the car!
But there are none of these in the Autumn Styx Mountain!
However, Xiao Ning was still ready to do this!
At this time, he chose to swing the body sideways before entering the corner, in order to adjust the body posture in advance before reaching the entry point, so that the whole car passed the final straight sideways like a "crab"!
If the timing is right, he will regain full grip on the rear wheels just after the center of the bend and will be able to complete the corner in a straight position parallel to the lane!
Of course!
This is the case of success!
In fact, in a situation like this, where timing is so difficult that even the most seasoned drivers can only try their luck to do it all!
Once it fails!
Next to it is the cliff of Autumn Mt. Hide!
More than 200 kilometers per hour into the corner is enough to allow the car to crash through the guardrail of the mountain road and then roll down the cliff.
Even if the Red Bull team installed a top-of-the-line roll cage in the AE86 car, under this terrifying mountain height difference, the AE86 that rushed down at 200 kilometers per hour could only disintegrate!
At that time, Xiao Ning will inevitably die without a place to be buried, and it will never be possible to find all the parts!
He will never recover!
Seeing that Xiao Ning had completed the adjustment of the body posture and was about to pass the entry point in a traverse state, a Red Bull engineer anxiously shouted: "Steve, did Xiao's suspension just cross the thirteenth corner?" ”
"Yes!"
"Then how dare he challenge so hard?"
John, the chief engineer of the technical team, snatched the walkie-talkie of the deputy: "Xiao! Stop it! There is already slight damage to the suspension! Now the car is not equipped to allow you to perform such extreme operations! We need to repair it and try it again! ”
Under the dark night, the street lights in the direction of the downhill of the Autumn Mountain Road are always on, which is the only light source in the surrounding area to illuminate the night except for the AE86 headlights.
Several top-of-the-line traversal drones are struggling to photograph the AE86 from different angles in the air.
Inside the car at this time.
At extremely high speeds, the street lights on both sides were rapidly reversing backwards from the windows, and the speed was so fast that Xiao Ning almost had a visual afterimage.
After John's eager voice rang in his ears.
Xiao Ning fine-tuned the angle of the steering wheel and glanced at the car's A-pillar.
There is a camera placed by the Red Bull team, and the footage captured by it is being transmitted back to the Red Bull team's monitors in real time.
"Sorry John, the challenge has begun."
"And I only have one chance."
None of the Red Bull team, including John, could understand Shawning's words.
If braking is done now, the top-of-the-line revamped braking system is definitely enough for the AE86 to slow down and corner.
In this way, Xiao Ning can completely let the Red Bull team repair the car and then do a second challenge.
But Xiao Ning said that he "only has one chance".
The Red Bull team couldn't understand it, and only felt that Xiao Ning's state seemed to have fallen into a madness due to the crazy secretion of hormones and adrenaline.
In fact, Xiao Ning is calmer than ever at this moment.
Despite the high amount of adrenaline, he could clearly feel that his heart was beating at a speed that was about to burst through his chest, and the violent contraction of his heart even made him feel like he was dying!
But he remained calmer than ever.
The Red Bull team was talking about the suspension damage, and as the driver of the AE86, he knew about it as early as the corners ahead.
However, the task has begun.
If the challenge had been abandoned as advised by the Red Bull team, the mission would have failed.
"The suspension is only damaged because of the bump of the stones, and the surface damage does not affect the performance, but only the durability......"
"Who cares if it's durable? It's enough to be able to support it until the descent! ”
"There's no chance to do it again."
"I don't want to do it again!"
"Because this time, I can definitely get by!"
In the exclamation of the Red Bull team, Xie Bin's crazy smoking, and the screams of everyone in the crew.
The AE86, with a fully traversing attitude, has reached the bend point with the white smoke rising from the rear wheels due to the friction on the ground.
AT THIS TIME, THE ENGINE SPEED IS AS HIGH AS 9,700 RPM, AND THE SPEED HAS REACHED AN ASTONISHING 233KM/H!
Recalling thousands of drills in the system learning space, Xiao Ning's expression was cold, and the movements of controlling the steering wheel and accelerator pedal were already accurate to the slightest!
After entering the corner at such an incredible speed, the AE86 front wheel had just the right angle of steering in the opposite direction, but the rear wheel offset was still too large for a brief loss of grip.
The right side of the front of the car rubbed against the rock wall on the right.
"Poof!"
A crisp metal crash sounded, and at high speed, the slight bump between the right side of the car body and the rock wall directly pulled out the sparks.
After such a picture was transmitted back by the drone, everyone was extremely nervous.
Qian Zhen's toes and thumbs were already clasped on the ground, Xie Bin, who had re-lit a cigarette, lit the filter and was smoking in reverse, and some of the professionals in the Red Bull team had even closed their eyes.
"Brother Ning crashed!"
"Oh my God! It's going to roll over! ”
"Senior Brother Xiao! Didn't the yellow hair say that he couldn't catch up with you, the thousand-horse 86 Hades? ”
"The Yama of the dog day is open! Day! Brother Ning, don't have anything to do! ”
"My God!"
The thoughts in the hearts of the people who were so nervous that their chests were pressed against their backs flashed away with that string of sparks.
But the picture of the "overturned" did not appear!
Someone from the Red Bull team shouted, "The hydraulic handbrake has stepped in!" I can't believe it! In such a extreme situation, Xiao He actually dared to pull the handbrake! ”
"This slight braking slowed down a little bit, but it managed to prevent the car from crashing into a hill and rolling!"
"Epic rescue!"
"But!"
"My God!"
"How dare he! Although it is only a little handbrake, this braking is also likely to make the front wheels lose grip and slip! ”
No one knew why Xiao Ning had the courage to touch the handbrake after drifting into the center of the bend.
But a series of pictures that everyone can see are AE86 with white smoke rolling on the rear wheels, and after the body gently brushed the rock wall to produce an attitude shift, the attitude that originally looked like it was about to be uncontrollable was successfully rescued by Xiao Ning!
Pass the entry point!
Through the bend!
Arrive at the exit point that you couldn't see clearly before!
The throttle is stepped on the deepest!
The engine speed broke through 10,000!
The AE86 with scratches on the right side of the body is like a cheetah!
The crowd in front of the monitor who witnessed all this, after a short period of sluggishness, erupted in the most enthusiastic celebration and applause!
"It's amazing! 230 km/h into the corner! Or drift over the corner! It's a mountain road! ”
"His car driving skills seem far more thrilling than his cycling skills!"
"Incredible!"
"I now know why Mr. Zou would travel thousands of miles to let us rush to the Dragon Kingdom urgently! He deserves it! ”
On the side of the Red Bull team, in the crowd of the crew of "Initial D", Qian Zhen was trembling and dressed roughly, and the voices of other crew members kept sounding on the side.
"I'm grass! Is this the true strength of the Immortal Mountain Wheel God? ”
"The shot of this scene just now! If it's in our movie, isn't it super-god? ”
"Super god, fart! This level of driving skills, even if it's Takumi Fujiwara! No! Even if it's his father! His father, who had hoped to become the first world champion of Xiao Ri! Can't make it! It's really a dimensionality reduction blow in the movie! Who can you put this kind of lens on? ”
"I suddenly feel that Brother Ning, his script is still too conservative! Our initial D is still too conservative! ”
"Art comes from life! But often below life! ”
"That's an exaggeration! I don't even dare to drive like this when I play games! Brother Ning, is he really not afraid? ”
finally found that he had lit a cigarette in reverse, and Xie Bin, who was full of the smell of burning filters, already had tears in the corners of his eyes.
He was shocked and sincerely admired by Xiao Ning's epic rescue operation just now!
I also regret his youth, and even heartache!
He remembered the game when his career came to an end.
I think of that corner of the race, the decision he made a wrong decision that caused the overturn of the car to go out of the corner, and the navigator who unfortunately passed away.
"If I had the courage to use the handbrake to intervene in the ambulance."
"Maybe ......"
Xie Bin was suddenly stunned, and then laughed at himself: "There is never an if!" ”
"Courage, strength, experience...... Lack of any aspect can lead to the unexpected appearance of death! ”
Xie Bin remembered what the navigator had told him before the race -
"We have to get a world-class finish! He even won the world championship on behalf of the dragon country! ”
"That's what we end up trying to do as a professional driver!"
"So! We need to win every game! We have to push ourselves to the limit more than we train! We have to overcome all fears! Take all your courage to face every corner! ”
"You and I must be braver! Don't be afraid of injuries! Don't be afraid of death! ”
"We are rally pros!"
Xie Bin took a deep breath, and his face was already full of admiration when he looked at the monitor.
"Something I didn't do."
"This kid did it."
"And so perfectly done......"
When everyone was feeling incredible for Xiao Ning's crazy drifting corners and epic handbrake rescue skills just now, Xiao Ning, who was about to enter the ten-consecutive hairpin bend, still had his heartbeat not dropped at this time.
God knows how nervous he was when he made the decision to pull the handbrake.
Although he had previously practiced in the Systematic Learning Space, no matter how realistic the simulation of the Systematic Learning Space was, it could not compare to the real reality.
At that critical moment, Xiao Ning had even forgotten that there were still two life-saving talismans lying in his system warehouse.
He made this decision completely subconsciously, and the idea at the time was that if he didn't do this, he would crash the car, and even have a high probability of crashing the car and dying!
Xiao Ning, whose emotions have calmed down a lot, can still clearly perceive the beating of every blood vessel in his body.
If his life was a flame about to be extinguished when the accident happened just now, then after completing the extreme ambulance operation, the flame has been reborn and turned into a scorching flame!
Even if you have already experienced multiple missions before, from marathons to climbing more than 300 meters of Petronas Twin Towers.
Although he also felt a sense of near-death when he took on some challenges, he never encountered any accidents during the challenge, and the journey was smooth.
The accidental collision just now was completely unexpected by Xiao Ning, and he had never been so close to death as he had just now, and he had never felt that the spark representing his life was so fragile as he was at that moment just now.
But now.
This little flame has turned into a flame!
It's completely burning!
The AE86's engine was still making a furious sound, the wheels were on the go, and the screeching sound of grinding against the ground ran through the entire trail!
Xiao Ning's hairs stood on end, and he couldn't help shouting in the car.
"I did it!"
"I'm awesome!"
After such a voice was transmitted back through the walkie-talkie, everyone on the Red Bull team was stunned.
Because they don't understand Chinese.
But others not far away were shocked.
Because Xiao Ning has never exploded roughly!
Xie Bin wiped away a handful of tears, and his face was already full of smiles: "This kid! ”
"Fucking awesome!"
"What a fucking awe!"
Xiao Ning, who had just passed through that corner perfectly with a miraculous rescue operation, had already driven the AE86 into the most difficult ten-consecutive hairpin bend in Autumn Styx Mountain, which is the so-called devil's bend area.
For the average driver, this 10-to-end U-turn is a hell of difficulty.
It may be better to go up the mountain, but if you go down, the driver who has not driven the mountain road and has not run any national highways 318 and 317 will tremble just by looking at the road from above.
But for Xiao Ning, these corners are actually just like that.
Having completed the challenge of cornering at 200 km/h, he was able to pass them at a relatively slow speed.
Just drift away.
Xiao Ning, who was confident in his driving skills, didn't take the devil bend to heart.
But others don't think so.
Even if they had witnessed Xiao Ning's series of amazing driving skills just now, they believed that Xiao Ning could easily pass this Devil's Bend.
But when the AE86 drove into the first hairpin corner, seeing that Xiao Ning was still preparing to use a drift attitude to cross the corner, many people still sweated.
Successfully pass the first corner.
Then came the second turn.
The third.
The fourth.
The situation of constantly successfully passing corners did not make the onlookers feel "numb" or "just here", but only made everyone more nervous.
Although Xiao Ning's speed was far less violent than before, it was always maintained at a relatively low level.
But every time he turns the starting point, the entry point, and the exit point, his choice is always close to the limit.
In these corners, the distance between the front of the AE86 and the center railing is even kept within five centimeters, and the most extreme one, the distance is not even one centimeter!
This scene of operation just looks at it and makes people's hearts rise to their throats.
But despite Xiao Ning's operation being so extreme, the AE86 driven by him always maintained a calm attitude.
Calm, smooth, perfect, natural, and even cool!
It's like watching a complete drift show!
Everyone's heartstrings are tense all the time, but they can't help but admire Xiao Ning's driving skills and courage, and feel the speed and passion under this series of pictures, the kind of visual impact that only racing and drifting can bring to people, and the unique beauty of that driving style!
In the end, the ten-consecutive hairpin bend was successfully passed without any accidents.
Inside the car, John's voice sounded in Xiao Ning's ears.
"Xiao, the hairpin bend has been passed, and it is still seven and three kilometers away from the starting point of the extreme speed you want to challenge."
"Your brake discs are already a little too hot, so be sure to minimize the use of brakes."
"Because the suspension has been slightly damaged earlier, I don't recommend that you keep high speed and try to move forward in low gear, your average speed has reached 148 kilometers now, even if you run slowly, the average speed of the whole journey is definitely more than 100 kilometers."
"I'm sure you're good enough for everything, but it's not in great shape, so I hope you understand what I mean."
For John's suggestion, this time Xiao Ning chose to respect.
After a series of intense driving just now, the AE86 is really not in good shape now.
Of the three parts of this challenge, it can be said that two have been completed.
There really is no need to do more extreme maneuvers on the rest of the journey.
THE STARTING POINT OF THE SECTION WITH A MAXIMUM STRAIGHT-LINE SPEED OF MORE THAN 280 KM IS THE TUNNEL ENTRANCE AFTER SEVEN KM.
Although the section of the tunnel is very straight, it is very suitable for acceleration, but this is the Autumn Stygian Mountain after all.
There is no good place to open on the road on the Autumn Mountain, the curves are like this, and the same is true for the straights.
Although the tunnel section is straight, the distance is not very long.
At the exit of the tunnel, there is a steep slope that slopes down to the right, with a slope of 25 degrees and a very small angle, which is not a high-speed curve at all.
To complete the tunnel challenge, the car had to keep the highest possible speed to enter the entrance and then accelerate as fast as possible on the tunnel straight, which was limited in length.
When the top speed reaches 280 km/h, the speed is immediately reduced by braking and braking, and the speed is reduced to less than 100 before exiting the tunnel, so that the steep slope and narrow bend at the exit of the tunnel can be successfully faced.
Otherwise, the car is likely to lose control of the corner at too high speed.
Time passed minute by minute.
In the last seven kilometers of the road, Xiao Ning used the most conservative way to drive the vehicle the whole time.
He used the transmission gear to control the speed of the car with the throttle the whole time, and he didn't even step on the brakes a few times.
At this point, after the last curve ahead, there are less than 100 meters to the tunnel entrance.
The voice of the Red Bull team technician rang out in the car.
"Xiao, your water temperature and tire temperature are good, but the brakes are still not in the best performance condition."
"You need to start accelerating as soon as you pass the bend ahead, otherwise you won't have time to get to 280 km/h before you reach the braking point in the tunnel."
"We'll give you tips based on the information from the detector."
"Good luck, Xiao!"
Xiao Ning: "Thank you. ”
After the AE86 passed through the last narrow bend in front of the tunnel at a slower speed, the "hum" of the engine went viral.
5,000 turns!
Six thousand turns!
Seven thousand turns!
Eight thousand turns!
Upshift!
The tachometer hands spin from the beginning!
The speed of the car is increasing like crazy!
At this distance, the AE86 overhead drone gradually rose into the air, and from a higher perspective, it took a picture of Xiao Ning entering the tunnel.
And when Xiao Ning actually entered the tunnel, the drone, which could not keep up with the speed, lost the image of AE86.
In the Red Bull team's monitors, all that could be seen was the footage from Xiao Ning's car and the footage from the fixed camera position they had placed in the tunnel in advance.
Just as everyone stared with bated breath, waiting for Xiao Ning to successfully complete the final challenge.
Chief Engineer John frowned: "The speed is not right!" ”
"It's a beat slower than before!"
John, on his part, noticed that something was wrong.
Xiao Ning, who was driving, naturally also noticed that something was wrong.
"The speed is slower than before!"
He first glanced at the situation on the dashboard as fast as he could, and after confirming that the data was normal, Xiao Ning frowned slightly, and said through the walkie-talkie: "Tire!" ”
"The grip of the tyres was even worse than we expected!"
On the side of the Red Bull team, the staff responsible for monitoring the data of the car suddenly became nervous: "There is no problem with the data display......"
John's expression grim: "Machines are not necessarily accurate ......"
"Xiao Ning!"
"The loss of tire performance is not in line with our expectations, not only is there a loss of grip and a loss of acceleration!"
"Your braking distance is bound to get longer, too!"
"As it stands, you have to speed up to 280 km/h before you plan the braking point, and brake in advance!"
"But now it's too late! Acceleration can't keep up! ”
"To be on the safe side! Please give up ......"
John had just said this, and his tone suddenly stopped.
At this time, the body of AE86, which had completely entered the tunnel and was still galloping wildly, suddenly disappeared completely from the monitor!
To be exact!
The images of the fixed camera positions that were placed in a fixed position in advance for shooting have become a pitch black scene at the moment!
In the dark, people can only see the lights of the AE86!
The original lights of the tunnel are gone!
John was surprised, "What's going on?" ”
In the next moment, the support staff of the Red Bull team immediately gave feedback on the situation through the intercom channel.
"Widespread power outage! There is a power outage here in the Autumn Styx Mountain! The street lights on the mountain road have been completely extinguished! ”
At this moment, in the tunnel, galloping AE86.
The speed is still high.
Although the tunnel lights went out and Xiao Ning's vision was restricted, with the support of the headlights, he could clearly perceive from his vision that everything was rapidly receding.
At this time, the speed of the car has reached 150 kilometers per hour.
But the time to reach this pace was a little later than he and the Red Bull team had expected.
It's a little late, but it's late!
John's hurried voice rang in his ears.
"Xiao! We can't observe your situation very well, the camera at the braking point can't shoot you clearly, and we don't know how far you are left! ”
"Please give up this challenge!"
Shawning didn't answer John.
For a brief moment, he pondered all sorts of possibilities.
Finally thought of the only way to make the challenge complete.
"Not enough grip!"
"Raise your speed! If you reach 280 brakes before the braking point! ”
"That's the only way!"
"It should work!"
He took a deep breath and made a move that made everyone's jaws drop.
He turned off the headlights that were on!
The AE86 with its "jump light" design turns off its headlights and quickly returns to the light cabin!
All the lights of the car are off!
in the monitor.
All the images went black in an instant!
It's completely dark!
Nothing to be seen!
Everyone was stunned.
"My God! What is he going to do? ”
"Why did he turn off the lights?"
"Brother Ning, what's going on?"
"The engine revs are getting louder! He's still accelerating! ”
"He should be driving at over two hundred now! He's going to drive with no vision at all? ”
"If you don't have lights in this tunnel, you're no different from a blind man! Xiao Ning, is he crazy? ”
The vast majority of people couldn't understand Xiao Ning's operation at all, and their minds were blank.
A few people saw the significance of Xiao Ning's operation.
The first to react was former professional rally driver Xie Bin.
"The purpose of his turning off the lights!"
"It's for speed!"
"To make the car faster!"
"Because!"
"The AE86's headlights are a jump light design!"
Thank you all for your monthly passes and tips!
The previous chapter, Chapter 123, had an easter egg chapter that drifted at extremely high speed, and it has not yet been reviewed.
There will be an AE86 jumping light structure video easter egg chapter behind this chapter.,I don't know when I'll be able to pass the review.,You can refresh the catalog later!
(The idea of turning off the lights to kill is a bit similar to the DRS of F1 cars, because of the structural design of the jump lights, the acceleration can be improved by aerodynamic changes at very high speeds, and there will be a specific description of the principle in the next chapter, but it should be changed later, I didn't eat lunch and wrote for four hours to finish this chapter, and there are a lot of things in the afternoon.) )
