Sitting on the seat in the maintenance station, Shangluo watched the Rocket running circles outside the window. Wen Yuan and others were sitting next to him - because the paper bag with snacks was placed on his lap. A group of people looked out the window, and then from time to time, a hand would reach out and take out a piece of peach cake from the paper bag he was holding as if nothing had happened.
"Hey." Shangluo grabbed Han Xingzhi's hand, "Just eat it. Why do you only eat peach cakes? What do others eat when you eat them all?"
"Because the peach cakes are delicious. The peach cakes in the imperial dining room are the best."
"You can actually tell it's from the Imperial Kitchen? Why don't you think I bought it on the road?"
"Because we all visited when we were kids, and we all got the same paper bags. Right? Everyone has been there, right?"
"Indeed." Wen Yuan nodded, "It's quite nostalgic. It's so fun inside, especially there is a canning production line there. Wow, rows of pork knuckles come out of the steam, and they are sealed one by one. It’s in the can, and the smell of meat is everywhere. It’s heaven.”
Upon hearing the can, Lu Liang shuddered as if reflexively.
"Don't you like canned food?" Shangluo asked him.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel like vomiting a little bit." She answered while taking the peach cakes from the paper bag, "The snacks in the imperial dining room are delicious. But they are canned."
She shook her head:
"It's delicious. Oh, it's so delicious. Do you know when the canned food is the best in a year? The answer is spring, because in spring, tributes from various countries come in, and the Imperial Kitchen uses Ryukyu piglets to produce special hooves. Canned food, the canned food at that time was fragrant and tender. The canned food during the New Year period was the most unpalatable, because at that time, frozen meat was being cleared out to make room for the New Year pig slaughter, so at that time, frozen meat was used for canning.”
"Ah, have you gained so much experience?"
Lu Liang looked at Shangluo: "Do you remember what you ate last time at my house? Did you see my dad bring out braised pork and braised pork ribs from the kitchen?"
"Wait. Is that a can?!!"
"I haven't eaten much other than canned food."
"Didn't you tell me that Lu Qianhu often goes to Baoen Temple to help cook? He can fry shredded potatoes for eight hundred people in half an hour?"
"Yes, canned shredded potatoes. There are also kitchen helpers, all of which are canned. The Imperial Kitchen only makes canned food, but the process from canning to serving is not the responsibility of the Imperial Kitchen. So every time Guanglu Temple has to cook for the state banquet, it has to be prepared. He asked Jin Yiwei to open the cans - you didn’t expect that, did you? Haha, my dad only knows how to cook canned food.”
"I also thought the braised pork dish was very classic."
"I just wanted to give my dad face, so I didn't say much. He just poured the canned food into the pot and heated it up. All the dishes our family eats are like this. Very classic, very standard, right? Nonsense, canned food is of course standard. Every canned food tastes the same, and a different taste means something is wrong. Didn’t you see that they are all braised? Because only braised canned food is distributed in the health center, because it is most convenient to make canned food with the braised flavor."
Shangluo was silent for a long time: "I was deceived. But it's not bad."
"Of course, it doesn't taste bad. Besides, he stewed the radish soup, not canned it. Well, I've long been used to it anyway. I'll probably be too lazy to cook in the future, so I'll probably buy some canned food to deal with it. I decided I won’t wash the dishes then. I buy canned rice and canned vegetables, eat them directly in the cans, and then throw the cans out. Oh, if you want to put them to pieces, just put them in pieces."
She bit into the peach cake and chewed it crunchily.
Training is still going on.
With a "whoosh" sound, the Rocket running at full speed ran past him. It is indeed lightning fast, and the straight-line acceleration can easily exceed 220 kilometers per hour with the help of rockets. This is because the track in the stadium is not long enough. There is a longer straight acceleration section on the road track. The speed of the Rocket can exceed 260 kilometers per hour or even higher.
"It feels good." Shangluo took off his sunglasses and asked Qi Yuan next to him, "How fast can our car go?"
"In fact, it's almost the same. Almost all racing cars regard 220 kilometers as the track top speed, and our mechanical limit is also around 260 kilometers. But it is almost impossible to run to that limit in daily life. 200 kilometers to 220 kilometers are the more common track speeds. .Only the Rocket can reach that limit with the help of a rocket, but it does not exceed the mechanical limit. Our track speed is much faster than other cars."
"What about other aspects? Are there any weaknesses?"
"No. Taking the character card of "Heroes Parade" as an example, all attributes are S. Speed, endurance, flexibility, and adaptability are all top-notch. Other vehicles often have to sacrifice some performance to be able to excel in a certain aspect or certain categories. We can achieve S in every aspect, but we are leading across the board. To be honest, what we are doing is actually the next generation of formula racing cars. If we win, then the Tiandao Shadow Puppet will become the standard format for the next generation of racing cars, and its revolution The sex is comparable to the White Star created by the High School Affiliated to the Imperial College 10 years ago.”
"Have they had technology like this before?"
"Don't look at it now that the High School Affiliated to the Imperial College is outnumbered by everyone. In fact, at that time when everyone's average level was not very high, the Imperial College was once a favorite to win the championship because of its relatively high 'benchmark level'. Their car manufacturing projects were integrated All the mature designs at that time were then produced in one fell swoop, the pioneer of the second-generation formula racing car: the White Star. Of course, they were later overtaken by more professional teams like us, but their technology is worthy of recognition.”
Shangluo looked back - Zhu Ling was still touching the car, and she was still touching the car.
"So the High School Affiliated to the Imperial College will withdraw from the competition this year." Qi Yuan explained.
"Huh? Do you want to quit the game? Why?"
"Because they can't win. They just want to come and see the championship car in advance this time. They believe that we can win. Because according to the data they collected, we are the number one seed nationwide. But this year, each company has a big secret. There are a lot of recruiting opportunities. Next year they plan to use our car as a blueprint to build a 'fourth-generation formula racing car' to recreate the legend of the White Star as a second-generation racing car. Well, I'm very optimistic about them. It's next year anyway. ”
"If they do this, won't they stop the supply of talent?"
"Actually no. Because the academic system of the High School Affiliated to the Imperial College is different from other schools. They have a four-year system instead of a three-year system - all the academic systems of the Imperial College are very weird. So although she is one year older than you, she is a senior As senior students, they have more time to prepare for the car race. Although this also means that the senior class has voluntarily given up, but they already have sufficient talent reserves in their team. I have a hunch that they will be very strong next year Maybe they planned to withdraw from the competition from the beginning and directly prepare for next year.”
"Still really courageous."
Shangluo glanced at his watch.
In fact, it had been more than 10 minutes, but she was still touching the car. There was a strange sense of pleasure in the air, which only Shangluo could feel, because the pleasure came from that car.
