While thinking, Qin Chuan put his hand on the car in front of him.

It is impossible for a car of this level not to trigger system tasks.

The moment Qin Chuan's hand touched the fuel tank, sure enough, the sound of the system came over.

"It was detected that the host came into contact with the KTM factory car rc16, and the system task was successfully triggered."

"Legendary capital; ask the host to push his driving skills to the top level. Time limit is three days. Mission reward; [-] times cash rebate card."

The voice of the system came into his mind, and Qin Chuan was not particularly happy about the reward.

Because he is not short of money, he hopes that the system will give him a buff or something.

Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance. A hundred times is not bad. He has [-] million in cash. Wouldn't it cost [-] billion if he spent it?

Just how to spend it is a big question.

The so-called learning was just to understand the difference between KTM's rc16 and other factory cars. Soon John led the team to start debugging the car.

The team works quickly and you can tell they are veterans at first glance.

Taking advantage of the time spent debugging the car, Pedrosa also began to explain the control system of the factory car to Qin Chuan.

The control of a factory car is much more difficult than that of a commercially available car. Just the rows of buttons on the left and right hand grips make Qinchuan's scalp numb.

"On the left hand handle, the one under the clutch lever is the thumb rear brake, and the other button lever is the rear wheel preload device."

Pedrosa quickly explained to Qin Chuan that in the left hand position, in addition to the clutch, there are two small levers, one for the rear brake and the other for the rear wheel preload.

Rear wheel preload can be understood as adjustable shock absorbers during competition.

When a factory car starts, the driver will brake heavily when he returns to the starting point after the tire warm-up lap.

The purpose of this heavy braking is to bottom out the front shock absorber and then lock it in with a special device.

Then use the rear wheel preload button to lower the rear shock absorber, and the front and rear wheels will lower at the same time, which can be understood as the pneumatic shock absorber in a four-wheel racing car.

Lying low can make the car start more stable. When the accelerator is opened to a certain extent, the ECU will automatically release the locked shock absorber after receiving the instruction, and it will return to its original state after starting.

This function can also be used in curves. For example, locking the front wheel when exiting a corner can lower the center of gravity of the front wheel and suppress head tilt.

The ECU's anti-cracking and traction control functions are implemented by cutting off power, but this adjustable shock absorber is a thing that does not interfere with power.

It is a real black technology on factory cars. This black technology was first invented by Ducati, and other manufacturers followed suit.

In addition, there are five colorful buttons on the left handlebar, which are called jelly bean buttons in technical terms.

Different power mode selection, traction force adjustment, anti-start size adjustment, fuel consumption control, and P-zone channel speed limit button (60km/h).

Qin Chuan understood the power selection under Pedrosa's arrangement, but Qin Chuan did not understand the fuel consumption.

Do you care more about fuel consumption than a race? Not driving a private car?

"Factory cars are gas-hungry, so you have to pay careful attention to your power mode when running. The highest gear is generally used in qualifying, and the middle gear is used in the race, otherwise you will not be able to sustain the fuel consumption in the later stages. live."

Strong power means high fuel consumption, whether it is a car or a motorcycle.

Qin Chuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he started to explain other things, and Qin Chuan also took the opportunity to look at the rc16 carefully.

The mysterious gearbox and the engine that were deemed confidential.

There is also a frame that my master cares about most.

What Qin Chuan saw on this car were all top-notch configurations, including top-notch Brembo upper pumps, top-notch lower pumps, and top-notch Brembo custom calipers.

It can be said that it is extremely expensive. According to Qinchuan's known information, the total price of this car just for the upper and lower pumps is more than 60.

Brake calipers plus carbon ceramic brake discs may cost more.

It is worth mentioning that the shock absorbers are not made by Ohlins, but ktm's own wp shock absorbers, and the other five major manufacturers are supplied by Ohlins.

Only when John and others started to refuel inside did Qin Chuan realize how much fuel the factory car consumed.

The fuel tank has reached the maximum capacity it can currently achieve, 22 liters, half the capacity of the car.

But for the thirty-lap race, John still had to cool the gasoline to subzero conditions to ensure that more gasoline could be added to the fuel tank.

This rc16 does not use 92, 95, or even 98, but 102 gasoline.

The general price is 70 yuan per liter.

It really proves what Xu Hong said, this thing is not something that ordinary people can afford.

After everything was prepared, John took the starter and inserted it into the engine of the factory car. Suddenly, a violent engine roar sounded at the door of the P room.

The sound was extremely harsh, making Qin Chuan want to cover his ears.

"This is an external ignition for factory cars. Once the ignition is turned off during a race, there is almost no possibility of restarting it."

Pedrosa then handed him another earplug and said, "Hurry up, you don't have much time."

"it is good!"

He stepped on the racing car, turned the throttle with his right hand, and Qin Chuan rode the rc16 onto the track.

Qin Chuan also wanted to experience the power of the motogp engine and the amazing seamless gearbox.

Facts have proved that when Qin Chuan stepped on this car, Qin Chuan was keenly aware of the difference between it and his own v4.

First of all, it is smooth. Yes, just by accelerating out of the P room, you can feel that the gear shifting of this car is surprisingly smooth.

Even electronic quick-shift gear shifting still feels frustrating, but not in this car.

The seamless transmission shifts very smoothly, with almost no vibration felt.

But soon, Qin Chuan discovered that the only smooth thing about this car was the gear shifting.

In terms of power, it is extremely violent, and the throttle response is very fast. When the throttle is turned, it seems that the entire car has a steady stream of power.

This is not surprising to Qin Chuan. Factory cars are inherently irritable, and KTM is the most irritable among the six major manufacturers.

While feeling the factory car, the physical exertion is also huge.

In the first few corners, Qin Chuan advanced the braking point and braked earlier.

The steel brake discs of commercially available cars have better performance the colder they are, but the carbon discs of factory cars are different and cannot function at low temperatures. The braking performance is extremely strong at high temperatures.

After one lap, the brake disc temperature rises, and so does the tire temperature.

Qinchuan's speed was very fast, and he started to do lap times when he entered the state. Although the factory car was difficult to control, it was not a big problem for Qinchuan when he was riding it for the first time.

"What do you think of his ride?"

“Very adaptable to the car.”

Under the stage, Danny John and Jiang Yue looked at the screen quietly. Jiang Yue did not speak as usual, but looked at Qin Chuan quietly with worried eyes.

"Well, I think so too, but it may take some time to get used to it."

John nodded and agreed with Pedrosa. Qin Chuan's ability to adapt was indeed very strong. It was very rare for him to be able to ride so smoothly on a factory bike for the first time.

After three laps of smooth routing, Qin Chuan has almost completely adapted to this car, except for a few details.

At Turn 16 on the fourth lap, Qin Chuan pushed the brakes of the RC4 to the limit. A braking force nearly twice that of the V[-] came from his arms. Qin Chuan pushed his hands and forced his upper body up.

Downshift, tilt the body into the bend, and this time it’s not rubbing your knees, but your elbows.

The inclination angle reaches a full 65 degrees. If you want to grind your shoulders at this angle, it is not impossible, but Qin Chuan knows well not to grind for the sake of grinding something, and let everything take its course when cornering.

The car enters the corner at a very low angle and then opens the gas.

When it comes to top-level competitions, cornering is actually a very simple matter. You brake into the corner, then align the front of the car, and bang! Just hit the gas and exit the corner, it's that simple.

Lap after lap, Qin Chuan practiced all afternoon and didn't come out of the arena until evening.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Yue handed a document to Qin Chuan, "Dennis is currently willing to offer [-] million euros, which is the highest price currently. Do you want to sign it?"

The helmet was signed and it was AGV. As for the leather jacket, Qin Chuan didn't know much about the brand. There was no difference between the biggest A-star and Dennis, either one would work for him.

It depends on which bid is higher, and obviously Dennis is the higher one now.

"Then sign it!"

"it is good!"

Qin Chuan's voice came, and Jiang Yue agreed and then operated on the computer for a while.

In about twenty minutes, the general contract details were finalized, and the contract is expected to be finalized tonight.

After finishing processing the things, Jiang Yue put away the computer and slowly leaned on his seat.

After a day of hard work, she looked a little tired, but she obviously hadn't forgotten what Qin Chuan had promised during the day.

"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to give me a surprise tonight? What a surprise."

Blinking, Jiang Yue looked at Qin Chuan curiously.
