After a burst of persuasion to "try it, try it", Shangluo got into the car.
This was the first time in his life that he sat on the driver's seat. He didn't expect that it would be such a special car for the first time - buttons, buttons, buttons, all buttons. There are buttons on the panel, buttons between the legs, buttons and push rods on the side armrests, and buttons on the push rods. However, he hasn't seen the steering wheel yet, because the cockpit can only accommodate people entering and exiting, and the steering wheel alone will block less than half of the width.
After sitting firmly, Han Xingzhi from outside handed the steering wheel in. There were buttons on both sides of the steering wheel.
In this small space, he was already surrounded by buttons. The density of buttons is even higher than that of the previous Ninghe passenger plane.
"Let me explain. Most of the operations are integrated on the steering wheel, but you need to check before starting. There are two battery switches on the control panel on the right, then turn the ignition switch and lift the fuel shut-off valve. On the left is the tail wing The front wing adjustment lever, the right hand is the throttle push rod. The six suspended levers are on the front control panel, with three gears: single, unilateral and unified adjustment. Before starting, turn on the oil injector switch and fill the oil for at least 5 seconds. ..”
"Wait a minute! What is this? What kind of oil injector? What kind of suspension lever? Is there an instruction manual?"
"No." Han Xingzhi shook his head, "This car was built by 18 of us. Except for the wheels, everything else was made by hand. If we couldn't make it by hand, we sent the parts and put them together again. Where did the instructions come from?"
"Let's not talk about whether I am auspicious or not, let's just think that I am - I don't mind sharing my luck with everyone. But if I can't even drive, how can I help you run?"
"How about you go out for a little run? There is a small car park at the door for us to test the car. The accelerator pusher is useless for the time being, because a key component is not in place yet. You use the gear next to it first. Rod. It shouldn't be a problem to shift to 1st gear all the way. How about it? Just think of it as a go-kart at an amusement park, just a little bit bigger. If you agree, give it a try, and the canopy will be unnecessary this time."
"Hold on."
He lowered his head and asked Apollonia for her opinion.
【Hey Hey Hey...】
"What are you laughing at? It's quite scary. Why are you laughing so hard?"
[Freedom~ is the feeling of freedom. I can feel that this machine is full of surging power. Let me try it! Let me try it! 】
"..."
[Please, let me try it! I want to try the feeling of freedom! 】
"Didn't you just play with the train this morning?"
[The train is a spiritual enjoyment, because I like trains. But the train has a track after all, and the car can drive itself! 】
"But this car can only be driven on closed roads, which is the go-kart park next to it. It's no different from a track."
[But... this is the breath of wind, these two are different. I beg you! I beg you! I beg you! 】
"Okay...then only open first gear."
[No problem, just one gear. I will drive slowly. 】
Shangluo gestured with his thumb, indicating that there was no problem.
Han Xingzhi immediately opened the garage door and went to get the small flag to clear the way at the intersection.
"It's time to drive." He reminded Apollonia, "How do you get on?"
"Just turn on airplane mode, and then put me above the control desk and behind the windshield."
Shangluo let her go——
[Wait, go a little to the left. 】
"Do you have any special requests?"
[Um...] Apollonia was silent for a while, [I suddenly realized that I couldn’t see the road, so I asked you to point the camera forward. But something still doesn't feel right. The windshield is curved and I feel like a goldfish in a fish tank. And it’s not very stable. You may need to make a bracket to fix it above the panel. 】
"Mobile phone holder, right? This is easy to handle."
[But a rotating mechanism still needs to be modified. I can't just look in one direction, I need to turn around to observe the road conditions. 】
"I don't mind, but adding an extra strange organization requires explanation. Let's talk about it later."
[Okay, let me try the car today. 】
Ahead, Han Xingzhi, standing at the intersection, was holding a flag to the left. The road ahead was ready.
Shangluo was also ready - he took his hands off the steering wheel. His consistent strength is his willingness to listen to professional advice.
The car moved. The indicator lights flashed several times like a marquee, and various switches jumped in a circle as Han Xingzhi said just now.
The engine roared to life, and the 12 cylinders roared out with a low roar. This was simply not the sound that a car should make.
[Twelve-cylinder turbocharged aircraft engine... Where did these students get such a powerful thing? This is an engine only used by main fighter jets. 】
"Did they make it themselves?"
[No, you should assemble it yourself after shipping it. However, being able to assemble it yourself is already impressive, let alone integrating it into a car. This is indeed something that only professionals can do, but the integration is a bit poor, and this mess of buttons makes your scalp numb. But this is considered an 'exam composition', and they don't have that much time to integrate and optimize it. If you give them enough time, they should be able to come up with something more powerful. This car is fun, very fun. 】
"So, driving? Do you want me to step on the accelerator?"
[Just leave it to me... ok... ok...] Apollonia's voice suddenly got stuck, and the car that was starting just now suddenly vibrated.
"Hey, are you okay?"
[It's okay...it's not a big problem. When you're about to go out, put your hands on the steering wheel to make a show. 】
Smoothly, Apollonia drove the 6-wheel racing car out of the garage and into the racing field opposite the garage.
As Han Xingzhi said, this racing track is very small, just a corner of the campus. Although it is located in the golden area of Yujing, because the land in the health center cannot actually be bought or sold at all, the "luxury" of this land is only theoretical.
The racing track is arranged like a go-kart track, with a 200-meter straight, a U-shaped bend, and a series of small turns. Basically covers the classic road conditions that may occur on the track.
But each one is too small, and the entire test track can only be regarded as a "practice test". The real training will be held at the Wutaishan Circuit next door, which is only one street away from the school. You can even drive to the track from the garage by yourself.
The small test track cannot allow Apollonia to exert its full strength. But that's good, because Shangluo is a little scared...
This is real racing. For someone who doesn't even have a driver's license, this experience is quite exciting.
