In a burst of "try, try" persuasion, Shang Luo sat in the car.

It was the first time in his life that he sat in the driver's seat, and he didn't expect it to be such a special car for the first time - buttons, buttons, buttons, all buttons. On the panel are buttons, there are buttons between the legs, on the armrests on the sides there are buttons and pushers, and on the pushers. However, he still hasn't seen the steering wheel, because the cockpit is just big enough for people to get in and out, and the steering wheel alone will block a small half of the width.

After sitting firmly, Han Xingzhi outside handed the steering wheel in, and the front and back sides of the steering wheel were all buttons.

In this small space, he was already surrounded by buttons. The density of the buttons is even higher than that of the previous Ninghe.

"Let me explain. Most of the operations are integrated into the steering wheel, but you need to check it before you start it. There are two battery switches on the right-hand control panel, and then the ignition switch is rotated to lift the fuel shut-off valve. The left hand is the rear wing adjustment lever, and the right hand is the throttle pusher. Six suspended levers are located on the front control panel and are available in single, one-sided and unified adjustment in three gears. Turn on the oil injector switch before starting and fill the oil for at least 5 seconds..."

"Wait, wait, wait! What is it? What oiler? What hanging levers? Is there a manual? ”

"Nope." Han Xingzhi shook his head, "This car was built by 18 of us together, except for the wheels, all the others were hand-made. If you can't make it by hand, send the parts and assemble it, where do you get the manual. ”

"Let's not talk about whether I'm auspicious or not, but I'm good for the time being - I don't mind sharing my luck with everyone. But if I can't even turn it on, how can I help you run? ”

"Why don't you go out for a little run? There is a small parking lot at the door, which we can use for test drives. The throttle lever didn't work for the time being, because there was a key component that wasn't in place yet. You start with the gear lever next to you. Playing 1st gear all the way shouldn't be a big problem. What do you think? It's like an amusement park go-kart, just a little bit bigger. If you agree, try it, and the canopy won't be used this time. ”

"Wait a minute."

He bowed his head and asked Apollonia for his opinion.

[Hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey...]

"What are you laughing at? It's scary. What are you laughing at? ”

[Freedom~ is the feeling of freedom, I can feel the surging power in this machine. Let me try it! Let me try it! 】

“...”

[Please, let me try!] I want to try the feeling of freedom! 】

"Didn't you just play with the train in the morning?"

[Train: That's a spiritual pleasure, because I love trains. But after all, the train has a track, and the car can drive itself! 】

"But this car can only be driven on a closed road, which is the go-kart park next to it. That's no different from an orbit. ”

[But... It's the breath of the wind, and these two are not the same. Please! Please! Please! 】

"Well... That can only be turned on one gear. ”

[No problem, one gear is one gear, I'll definitely open it slowly.] 】

Shang Luo gave a thumbs up to the outside world and signaled that it was no problem.

Han Xingzhi immediately opened the garage door, and went to get the small flag to the intersection to open the road.

"I'm going to drive." He reminded Apollonia, "How are you going?" ”

"It's still the same as flying mode, and just put me above the console, behind the windshield."

Shang Luo let her go—

[Wait, a little to the left.] 】

"Do you have any special requirements?"

Apollonia was silent for a while, [I suddenly realized that I couldn't see the way, so I asked you to point the camera ahead.] But it's still not right, this windshield has a curvature, and I feel like a goldfish in a fish tank. And it's not very stable, and you might have to do a bracket to fix me above the panel when you go back. 】

"Phone holder, huh? It's easy to do. ”

[But I also need to modify a rotation mechanism, I can't just look in one direction, I need to turn around to observe the road conditions.] 】

"I don't mind, but there's an extra weird agency that needs to be explained, and we'll get back to that."

[Okay, then I'll give it a try today.] 】

Ahead, Han Xingzhi, who was standing at the intersection, was waving the flag to the left, and the road ahead was ready.

Shang Luo was also ready - he took his hands off the wheel. Willingness to listen to professionals is his usual strength.

The car moved. The indicator lights flashed several times like a marquee, and the various switches jumped around as Han Xingzhi said just now.

The engine roared and the 12 cylinders roared into a low roar that didn't look like a car.

[Twelve-cylinder turbocharged aero engine... Where did these students get such awesome things? This is the engine that only the main fighter uses. 】

"They made it themselves?"

[No, it should be assembled by yourself after shipping.] However, it's already great to be able to assemble it yourself, let alone integrate it into a car. This is really something that only professionals can do, but the integration is a little worse, and this mess of a lot of buttons looks numb to the scalp. But this is considered an 'exam room essay', and they don't have that much time to integrate and optimize. If they are given enough time, they should be able to toss something more powerful. The car is fun, very interesting. 】

"So, driving? Do you want me to step on the gas? ”

[Leave it to me... Yes... Okay...] Apollonia's voice suddenly froze, and the car that was still starting just now suddenly vibrate.

"Hey, are you alright?"

[It's okay... Not a big problem. It's time to go out, and you put your hands on the steering wheel and make a gesture. 】

Smoothly, Apollonia drove the six-wheeled car out of the garage and into the racing track directly opposite the garage.

As Han Xingzhi said, this racing track is very small, but it only carves out a corner of the campus. Although it is located in the golden area of Yujing, because the land of the guard house cannot be bought and sold at all, the "luxury" of this land is only theoretical.

The velodrome is laid out like a go-kart track, with 200-metre straights, a U-shaped bend, and a series of smaller bends. It basically covers the classic road conditions that may occur on the track.

But each one is too small, and the whole test site can only be regarded as a "practice question". The real training takes place at the Wutaishan Circuit next door, just across the street from the school, and you can even drive yourself from the garage to the track.

A small proving ground didn't allow Apollonia to use her full strength. But that's good, because Shang Luo is a little scared...

It's real racing. For someone who doesn't even have a driver's license, the experience is quite exciting.
