Chapter 70
Didn't I say you told them the engine room was about to explode.
Life is indeed short, some people are bitterly short, some are sweetly short.
The two were locked up in the hotel by Nana, and they were not allowed to run around before the game.
When Ling Weiyao came to the door, she brought a bag of KFC. Xia Qianshen was very moved, and then said that she was a McDonald's party.
"Sister Nana ignored me." Ling Weiyao sat down aggrievedly as soon as she came in, and sighed, "I think I'm a little impatient, by the way, you two won't discriminate against homosexuals, right?"
The two looked at each other...
Ling Weiyao stayed for a while and then left, probably chatting with them about her relationship with Nana and she didn't want to.
In the end, Xia Qianshen persuaded her to "look at it", and said that they really do not discriminate against homosexuals...

After arriving at the ring tower SS1 start, everyone came to the western suburbs of Urumqi. The red carpet and arches have been set up. Following the reminder of the race center in the intercom, one car after another rushed out of the starting line. This year's ring tower The rally has officially begun.
Xia Qianshen started from the front position this year and was fifth.
Soon it was the Impreza's turn to start. The sun was so hot that it shone on the Gobi Desert, and the hot ground was deformed by the heat wave. This temperature could easily blow out a tire.But this year, Xia Qianshen has completely evolved into a racing driver who "can drive with just the accelerator".
SS1, from Urumqi to Bosten Lake, the pick-up point is Turpan.
The total length is 133 kilometers, and most of them are Gobi landforms.
This year Xinjiang heats up exceptionally early. The SS1 stage stipulates that each car must stop at the referee's car at least once for replenishment and rest.
This regulation is usually decided according to the climate of the day, and Zhongsu and Jingran had such a regulation in the Turpan Basin around the tower.
The Impreza has entered the Gobi Desert, and the turbulent dust behind the car is churning and spinning in the sun. All the drivers and leaders on SS1 today have only one simple wish: no tire blowout.
The positioning of a flat tire on the track is very mysterious, it is some kind of "force majeure".
Because the Gobi Desert is like a gravel road superimposed on a dry river bed, coupled with a high temperature of more than 40 degrees, the surface can often reach more than 60 or even [-] degrees.This is the flat tire reservation.
Moreover, all the maintenance crew can do for the car is to use thicker and super hard tires, moderately reduce the tire pressure, and pray.
And based on your many years of pulling experience, the most important part is prayer.
After all, a tire blowout is really too metaphysical. Wear, high temperature, air pressure, or even pressing any protrusion at an unacceptable angle for a tire will explode.
"It's heating up again." Zhong Su said, "Is the tire pressure okay?"
"It's falling." Xia Qianchen replied, "I don't think it's very good."
A drop in tire pressure is not a good sign, it could mean that the tire is punctured and leaking a flat, but rally tires are hard enough to hold on even if they get flat.
Xia Qianshen said again: "It's okay, there are few corners in this stage."
Zhong Sun hummed and continued to read the road book.
The difficulty of SS1 is not high, all the places that need attention are in the climate.
So Zhong Su naturally shifted his focus, "The water temperature is too high, and Xia Qian is sinking. If the water tank cracks, our engine will break down soon."
"I know." Xia Qianchen was a little impatient, "Look at the way."
Zhong Su sighed, "This is only SS1, Qian Shen."
Zhong Su knew that the desire to win and lose in his bones had started to make trouble again, and nothing could be decided in the first stage, but leading in the first stage would definitely be an advantage.
"I know." Xia Qian replied deeply, "The water tank can't be broken, and the referee's car is in front."
They must stop once and all cars must stop at the judge's car at least once.
The Impreza slowed down and stopped, clocked in, and the referee started a countdown to stop, 3 minutes.
"It's too hot today." The referee said, and handed them four bottles of mineral water.
Two people each have two bottles, drink from one bottle, and pour the other bottle down from their heads.
The helmet cover is really uncomfortable. In Xinjiang, where the temperature is more than 40 degrees, you must also wear a racing suit with a layer of fireproof lining. There is no air conditioner in the racing car, and the windows are not opened when driving.
So you can only use this primitive method to cool down.
The stage staff carried a high-pressure water gun to help them rush to the hood. The heat of the engine and the hood allowed the water to evaporate part of it quickly when poured on it.
Xia Qianshen looked into the distance, "How far is it?"
Zhong Su said, "More than 70 kilometers."
"It doesn't stop after that." Xia Qianchen pulled the back of Zhong Su's hand and wiped his mouth because he didn't take off his gloves.
Zhong Su nodded, "Okay, we won't stop later."
Three minutes later, the Impreza set off again.
The long stage of SS1 is actually to let the participating drivers quickly get used to the hot weather in Xinjiang, and by the way, all the team members will transfer from the starting ceremony in Urumqi to Turpan.So this stage is not difficult, this stage is mainly difficult, both people and cars are very difficult.
After arriving in Turpan, many people suffered from heatstroke, and Zhong Su was very worried that he would hold back.
Zhong Su came over with a bag of ice cubes and stuck them on Xia Qianchen's forehead.
Xia Qianchen was sitting at the door of the maintenance station, and was "hissed" by Bingdi, and then said: "It's cool, thank you."
Zhong Su smiled and squatted down, "May I ask Xia Qianshen, who took the shortest time in SS1, how did you feel on the first day of the Tournament?"
"I really want to turn on the air conditioner." Xia Qianchen said, "It would be better to have a handsome guy with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, who is 185 tall and walk up to press my waist."
Zhong Su paused, "Okay, I will try my best to meet your request."
Xia Qian looked down at him, and the man was still holding the ice pack with his arms up, "Then how does Zhong Su, the player with the shortest time in SS1, feel about the first day of the Tournament?"
"I feel that the temperature in Xinjiang has risen very early this year. I hope it won't heat up my main driver." Zhong Su smiled, "Also, I hope we will still be here at this time next year."

The maintenance workers put new tires on the Impreza and re-adjusted the steering gear. The old tires were full of scars. Fortunately, the engine was still alive and the water tank was not broken.
Rest in Turpan that night. Before going to bed, discuss with Nana and the maintenance workers about the details of the Bosten Lake stage tomorrow. Bosten Lake is located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the lake is full of deserts.Bosten Lake means "oasis" in Uighur, because it is really a lake in the desert.
So in fact tomorrow's stage is a desert stage, and the suggestion of the maintenance workers is to still use the rally tires, because Bosten Lake is a lake in the mountains, and its temperature is not as terrible as that of the Gobi today.
Xia Qianchen readily agreed to this, and Zhong Su had no objection.
But Nana was a little worried, "Don't you need to strengthen the tire?"
"No, the tires on this kind of road didn't blow out today, and there will be a lot of sand on the road tomorrow, let alone it." Xia Qian sank the coffin and concluded.
The next day, the tire blew out.
Xia Qianshen and Zhong Su replaced the spare tire at the extreme speed. On the shore of Bosten Lake, where the water and sky are uniform, the West China Sea, the lake and the sky are so beautifully blended together that it is impossible to distinguish where is the sky and where is the lake.
There are also herdsmen who bring their sheep to drink water.
Sheep: Baa.
"I'm convinced." Xia Qianchen shifted gears again and said, "It's all going to explode, what did I get into?"
"It seems to be the triangular arm of the car in front." Zhong Su said, "It's okay, we didn't delay too long."
If it was the latter part of the stage, Xia Qianshen would choose to continue driving with the blown tire, but not now, the stage has just driven more than 40 kilometers, and there are still more than 100 kilometers to go, so it is impossible not to change the tire.
The Imprezas started again and headed north along Bosten Lake. The local people riding horses along the way watched them from a distance. The animals were afraid of the surging sound waves, and in fact the local people also disliked them.
The maintenance workers waiting at the finish line are watching the radio. If the radio is on, it means that their car and the finish line are less than 20 kilometers away.
Xia Qianshen's starting position this year is fifth, very near the front, but until now, near noon, only two SS2 cars have passed the finish line.The maintenance workers were a little nervous, because just now a few people in the maintenance station next to them were notified that their driver had retired from the race.
No one wants to come here in vain, even if the maintenance work is very tiring, but no one wants to come in vain, SS2 will withdraw from the race, and all the parts of the car will still be new.
They were still waiting for Xia Qianshen. From this point of view, three cars had received news, and their radios were still not on.
Every minute and every second is suffering, the field of vision is barren, the desolate desert is under the scorching sun, they wait for the car as if they are waiting for a bucket of clear ice spring.
Finally, one of the maintenance workers shouted: "The radio is on!"
Everyone turned their heads in sync, and the red light finally flashed twice on the unified radio equipment of the Automobile Federation on the wall in the maintenance station.
Then, the navigator's voice sounded from the maintenance station.
"11 kilometers from the finish line, the engine room is about to catch fire, and the brake disc is expected to exceed 800 degrees. Please prepare a fire extinguisher."
In the racing car.
Xia Qianshen: "Didn't I ask you to tell them that the engine room is about to explode?"
Zhong Su: "..."
Xia Qianchen: "That makes me appear to be more powerful."
Zhong Su: "Are you stupid to be a maintenance worker?"
That's right, Xia Qianchen pouted, a little disappointed.
SS2 closed the car, and the SL team still maintained the first place in the total points.Jing Ran, who was far away in City A, sent condolences. Xia Qianshen stuck himself in PPT despite the high network delay, and after greeting him with Zhong Su's mobile phone, the operator became unavailable.
On the other side, the long-overdue transport vehicle and Nana also arrived at the end of SS2.
Not only Nana got out of the car, but also a little girl picked up from no man's land.
The little girl's face was washed, of course, it should have been taken a bath, but their first reaction was - oh, the child's face is quite fair after washing.
Nana told them that the local police had been looking for her for a long time, checking the lost and reported alarm records for more than a year, but there was no family that met her conditions.The police had no choice but to send her to an orphanage.
And this little girl can't speak, it's not that she has a language barrier, but... no one taught her to speak.
This is a frightening thing to think about. If she is not taught to speak, but the clothes fit her well, it means that she is not a child who came out of the ground.The police tactfully expressed that they were probably abandoned and left in no-man's land, so there is a high probability that they will not find their family members.
Nana's heart relented, and she decided to take it with her first, and go for adoption after the game.
"That's the way it is now." Nana shrugged. "Her surname is mine, and now her name is Hao Ruichi."
Xia Qianshen: "So her English name is...Rich."
Nana: "Yes."
Xia Qianshen just wanted to be filled with righteous indignation to refute the child, why should the child have such a cliché name? You might as well call her Hao Youqian, but Zhong Su grabbed his wrist.
Zhong Su said: "Children, you have to understand that you entrust your parents with some good wishes."
