The Strongest Racer Maintenance Guide

Chapter 63

You are great today.

More than 20 years ago, in the Dakar Rally, Lin Anye's navigator suffered from acute stomach problems. Lin Anye drove a stage alone, from Bilbao to Egypt.

Xia Qianshen lit a cigarette under the starry sky, and Zhong Su stayed in the hospital for observation tonight, because it was conservatively estimated that he might have had a fever for three days, and the doctor suggested staying in the hospital for one night.

The next day, SS5.

The competition voted to pass Xia Qianshen's request to drive alone, and today his co-pilot is empty.

Xia Qianshen put on the helmet, fastened the seat belt, and adjusted the communicator.On the other side of the communicator are the maintenance station engineer and Nana. The game club decided to let the manager Nana communicate with Xia Qianshen in real time by radio. Nana has the road book Zhong Su gave her in her hand...but she can't read it.

The habits and abbreviations of each navigator are different. Looking at the road book in her hand, Nana feels like reading a prescription written by a doctor.

It is very difficult to drive alone in a rally. Under normal circumstances, there is no navigator, and there is no qualification to participate in the competition. There may not be one driving alone throughout the year.

Driving alone is an emergency, and the vote for this race is 9:6, and there may be time penalties for driving alone.

Because all situations that do not comply with the rules of the game must be penalized, including driving alone.

Nana is quite nervous, she has never held such an important position - remote pilot.

Zhong Su was also quite nervous. He was lying on the hospital bed, hung up on the water, and was making a video call with the maintenance worker on his mobile phone.

Fortunately, Xia Qianchen was not nervous. He asked Nana through the intercom, "How humid is it today?"

"Uh..." Nana fumbled for her phone with her earphones on, "Wait a minute, let me see."

Then Xia Qian sank into the intercom, and the voice of Zhong Su from the maintenance worker's mobile phone came.

"The humidity is 75%, the surface temperature is 14, it is cloudy all day, the visibility is 9 kilometers, and the wind speed is 6."

Nana: "Why don't you two communicate like this?"

-

Naturally unlikely, because the radio is very, very unstable.

After more than 70 kilometers, the sound of electric current in Xia Qianshen's communicator gradually faded away, and he knew that he was the only one on this stage from now on.

SS5, 200 kilometers, low air pressure cloudy, no one to help him step on the wiper.

Fortunately, there were no leaves or branches sticking to the windshield, so he could still see the road ahead.

He was accompanied only by this Impreza, and no one reminded him not to be distracted, and no one was the commander of the road.

Xia Qianshen has the inherent Chinese concept of "soul" and "inheritance" in his bones, although he knows intellectually that these are all illusory and psychological hints.But sometimes the suggestion in my heart is very powerful, such as now——

What my father can do, I can do too.

Although the reality is very likely to be like in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", the one who invokes the gods to protect him is actually himself.

But for a moment, in that moment, my father was real, and that kind of faith and courage might be stronger than my father actually standing in front of me.

Xia Qian held on to the steering wheel steadily, the speed of the forest and trees reversing has already been reflected in the traffic monitoring screen, and the competition center is having a meeting to discuss how long Xia Qianchen will be fined for driving alone in the joint shaft.

And he himself, on the premise of driving alone, surpassed the car in front that started 2 minutes earlier than him.

The night before, Xia Qianchen recited the route desperately. He didn't memorize it too well, and there were too many curves, but at least he wouldn't let himself go the wrong way.This is also Zhong Su's advice. In any case, you can't go the wrong way, because the range of the track drawn by the race meeting in some places is almost the same as the road signs drawn by the local villagers, and it is easy to misread when driving at high speed.

Some corners were hard, the rearview mirror was scratched off long ago, and the big rear wing of the Impreza was missing. Xia Qianchen still kept the steering wheel steady.

He's a guy who can drive back to the pits with just the throttle!

-

Dakar Rally, marathon segment.

Drivers are required to drive all day without any supplies and no rest is allowed.

When Xia Qianchen saw this when he was a child, he couldn't understand this rule.Because he only thinks, why do people need to rest and replenish when they are driving and sitting in the car.

Later, when Xia Qianshen grew up, he learned that that stage was a tropical desert.

Later, he also knew that his father had been running in such a place.

In the strong wind, the scorching sun is in the sky.

Dad once drove a very handsome racing car, starting from Paris, arriving in Dakar, and then returning to Paris from Dakar.

Dad used to fly in Cape Town and almost suffered a terrorist attack on the African continent.Dad also stopped the car and used the tow rope to pull his opponent out of the quicksand.

The hero in my heart in my youth will be with me for a long, long time.

That hero may be Ultraman, Monkey King, or even Doraemon.There are too many heroes in Xia Qianshen's heart, and he can't put down a single playlist, but when he asks himself, the real hero in his heart is the father he has never met.

Because he finally walked to his father's place, he really felt such a machine that stepped on the accelerator, and the speed increased by three or four seconds in [-] seconds, and he really galloped alone on the sharp bends and steep slopes, bumping on the gravel road, and no one told him what was going on in front of him What kind of road is it.The hero gradually becomes concrete and clear.

He finally went to Huanta, Sichuan and Tibet, ran the road his father ran, felt the same speed as his father, and stood at the champion's car collection platform where his father had stood.

The flying slope landed, and the right hand made a sharp turn.

Xia Qianchen slipped.

This should be a right 2, very sharp and uneven.His speed was too fast, and when the body was almost turning sideways, the left front wheel rubbed sideways against the protruding stones on the road.

Xia Qianchen immediately applied the handbrake to stabilize the body posture, the main driver's door was deformed, which meant that the frame might also have been deformed.But the engine was still running, and Xia Qianchen's left rear body hit the rock, which was a good thing, at least the rock caught him, stuck the wheel, and prevented him from turning down the hill.

Xia Qianshen tried it out, and the car was still moving with a kick of the gas pedal.

So it continued to boom, retreated to boom, cooperated with the opposite direction, and the Impreza with excellent horsepower climbed back to the track from the downhill.

move on.

There are 5 kilometers left in the 200 kilometers of SS60. Xia Qianshen completely lost contact with the maintenance station in his communicator. The lonely racer found that there was a ray of sunshine in the dark cloudy sky, like a utility knife cutting A4 paper.

The skies have cleared, which means the remaining 60 kilometers of dirt will hopefully be drier.

On the other hand, the game committee decided to punish Xia Qianshen for 5 seconds.

Zhong Su asked the nurse for the fifth time, can I be discharged from the hospital?

The nurse pursed her lips for the fifth time and shook her head, saying that it was less than 24 hours.

Nana is at the pit stop. She is at the pit stop at the finish line. The signal is very poor, and the mobile phone is out of service. This is a deep mountain and old forest.The maintenance workers looked serious. Everyone knew how dangerous it would be for an unfamiliar racer to run on the track.

In the race track in City A, Jing Ran learned that Xia Qianshen was driving alone at this time, so he could only comfort Zhong Su, saying, don't worry if Xia Qianshen is fine.

For the remaining 60 kilometers, everyone is worried.

That Impreza didn't appear in people's field of vision for a moment, and the hanging heart couldn't let go.

This state lasted for a full 30 minutes.

Shaoguan was completely clear, and the sun finally ended its small holiday.

At the same time as the sunlight pierced down, blue lightning leaped out of the forest, landed on the slope, the damper firmly caught the body, and the suspension made a loud bang, the broken Impreza came to the finish line, and SS5 was over.

-

When Xia Qianshen arrived at the hospital, Zhong Su had already finished hanging the water, and the nurse had just sent the blood test report to the doctor.

"It's over." Xia Qianchen said lightly.

Zhong Su had a sticker to stop the bleeding on the back of his hand. Just as he was about to pour Xia Qianchen a glass of water, Xia Qianchen had already done it himself.

He directly picked up the paper cup that Zhong Su drank, and poured down the remaining cold water in it.

This is a three-person ward, and the patients in the two beds next door fell asleep, and neither of them spoke after the three words were finished.

Xia Qianchen changed out of his racing suit, wearing a black hooded sweater and jeans, and sat beside the hospital bed.

Zhong Su sat side by side with him, slowly reached out to hold him, and said seriously, "I'm sorry."

Xia Qianchen shook his head lightly to indicate that it was okay, and then held him back.

During the time when SS5 was driving alone, Xia Qianshen did not feel lonely. Although he was the only one on the track, he did not feel lonely.On the contrary, he felt like never before that there was something in his blood that was always supporting him.

He has never pronounced the word "daddy", of course, he did it seriously, and asking his friends to call him "daddy" doesn't count.

So for the father, he is a complete stranger.He didn't know how he was going to tell Zhong Su this feeling, it was actually very uncomfortable.

He wanted to speak out, but he had suppressed his longing for his father in order to consider his mother's feelings.

Then a tear fell on the back of Zhong Su's hand.

"I..." Xia Qianchen realized the tear, and quickly wiped it away with his hand, "It's okay, it was an accident."

Zhong Su slowly wrapped his arms around his shoulders, stroked the ends of his hair, "You can talk to me about it."

It seems that Xia Qianshen put something into the glass bottle, tightened the cork, and hid it in the basement. It cannot be revealed in a few words, Zhong Su understood.

So after a while, Xia Qianchen just shook his head, and then squeezed out a moment to laugh.Zhong Su didn't ask any more questions.

He just smiled at Xia Qianchen, "You are great today."

"I know." Xia Qianchen said, "Today... I have dropped to ninth place."

"That's great." Zhong Su's thumb rubbed against his eyes, "You were fined for 5 seconds, and you didn't fall out of the top ten."

"I also had an accident." Xia Qianchen said proudly, "The rear wing is gone, the frame is deformed, the toe-in is deformed, and the frame is crooked."

Zhong Su pursed his lips, "It can be opened with an accelerator, right?"
