Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears
Chapter 975: Sudden, Will-O-Wisp, Racing Car Upgrade
This is a passenger plane. Qin Chuan did not use a private plane for this trip to Mal because there was no need for it.
Traveling by private jet is indeed more enjoyable, but it is more troublesome. With Mal's walking speed, taking a passenger plane is enough.
Qin Chuan started his journey by buying four first-class tickets worth 28888.
In the first-class cabin, Qin Chuan and Jiang Yue sat in the corner. There were a total of eight seats in the first-class cabin of this plane.
There are four rows, two seats in each row, on the left and right sides.
After checking Jenny and Li Meng's "Truth" certificates, the four of them went to their seats. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Yue's seat was empty because she asked the flight attendant to prepare a small movable chair for her and connected it to Qin Chuan's seat.
The two sat on the right side of the third row, while Li Meng and Jenny sat behind them, on the left and right of the fourth row, near the door.
Qin Chuan only brought the two of them on this trip. Hackers can work at a long distance, and as Bao Xiong was too big, Qin Chuan left him at home to look after the house.
Now there are more than four bodyguards under the Qin family. Qin Chuan hired some more, but the most elite ones are the four selected by the system for him.
"You are so generous. There is only one chair like this, and the stewardess just gave it to me so easily."
Sitting down next to Qin Chuan, Jiang Yue ate grapes on the table and spoke slowly, with a slight rise in the ending tone and a hint of teasing like a little girl.
Qin Chuan smiled brightly and glared at Jiang Yue.
He knew what Jiang Yue was talking about. When he was checking his ID on the plane just now, the flight attendant recognized him, so she gave him some "special" care.
Like something as small as getting an extra extension stool.
As we all know, first-class seats are semi-enclosed private seats, with one seat for each person, and partitions around them blocking the front, back and sides. Passengers on the left and right cannot see each other, nor can they see the front and back. Only by looking sideways can you perhaps see the figure of the person inside.
It was impossible for such a single space to have two seats, but since he was a "connected person", he borrowed a small stool and tidied up the luggage space opposite so that the two of them could sit face to face.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything more after the teasing. She wasn't that petty.
He took the laptop away, connected the video, and then turned the screen towards Qin Chuan.
Putting on headphones, Qin Chuan connected to the video conversation with Pedrosa.
As soon as he got on the plane, he received a video call from Pedrosa. Fortunately, there was a wifi signal in the first-class cabin of his plane.
The video was connected, and Pedrosa on the other end of the phone appeared in the screen. Pedrosa was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, sweating profusely, his face was flushed, and his face was full of fatigue. The scene behind him was a p-room.
It looked a little strange, yet also a little familiar. Qin Chuan squinted his eyes and recognized that this was the P room of the Red Moo Racetrack.
Testing a race car?
Pedrosa seems to be doing this.
Qin Chuan's idea was soon confirmed.
In the video, Pedrosa looked like he had just finished a race. After taking a break, he finally spoke.
"Chuan, I just tested the new parts, and they're not very ideal. They seem to have some minor problems."
Pedrosa spoke in standard Eastern European. Qin Chuan remained silent and waited for him to finish.
"This time I tested the new front spoiler, the new exhaust, and the rear spoiler..."
Qin Chuan listened to every word.
He cannot participate in this test, but Pedrosa can, as this is his job. If everything is tested by the drivers, then what are the test drivers for? Test drivers are there to test the cars.
Pedrosa tested a lot of things in advance at the Red Moo-Ring this time, some of which are for upgrades next season, that is, the components of next year's RC16, and a small part are components that can be used in the second half of the season, such as the components that can be used at the next stop, Red Moo-Ring.
"Next year's car parts are not perfect. I crashed six times this morning, which is a very bad thing. Fortunately, I tested the car parts of Red Moo Station quite well. They played a perfect role, which may help your game a lot."
Hearing that Pedrosa fell six times in the morning, Qin Chuan's mouth twitched. He finally understood why Pedrosa looked so dirty now.
When he heard the end, Qin Chuan's calm expression warmed up a little, as if he didn't expect to hear such good news.
There are KTM staff running around in the video, and it is obviously a test conducted by the KTM team.
Qin Chuan gave a brief summary of Pedrosa’s statement.
The bad thing is that the parts for next year's car are not ideal, which will cause the drivers to crash. Fortunately, the parts used to upgrade the car in the second half of the season are perfect and can be used to improve performance.
All in all, this is good news for him now.
There is no rush for next year's parts. There is still enough time in the second half of the season to continue development. Half a year is enough to improve many things. It is enough that the parts used in the red moo ring are very easy to use.
This will ensure that his competitiveness in the second half of the season will be further improved.
The chances of winning the world championship have increased.
Next, Pedrosa introduced the upgrade of RC16 to Qin Chuan from a video perspective. The car was right next to him. Pedrosa squatted on the ground with the camera aimed at the rear wheel of RC16.
The huge black body of the RC16 appeared on the computer screen.
This rc16 has no prints and is surrounded by solid colors. It is pure black overall, making it look less three-dimensional and more domineering.
Pedrosa aimed the camera at the rear wheel of the RC16, or more precisely, the swing arm.
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows when he saw that there were some new things on the rear swing arm of his car, such as two wind deflectors and a pair of small wings.
The wind deflector and small wing are on the left and right sides of the rear swing arm respectively. Pedrosa first took a picture of the left side and then the right side, indicating that the two parts are symmetrical.
Qin Chuan took this opportunity to observe carefully.
These two wind deflectors, together with the rear swing arm, cover half of the tire. Qin Chuan knows what its function is just by looking at it.
In the history of moto3, there was a closed wheel hub, also called a spokeless wheel hub. What is a spokeless wheel hub?
A normal wheel hub is multi-spoke, similar to the format of a bicycle wheel hub, with multiple metal parts such as support frames supporting the hub.
There are gaps between the spokes, and these gaps are used to allow side wind to pass through. As the saying goes, the wheel hub is not an airtight pancake, it has gaps.
The spokeless wheels have no gaps, and the entire tire and wheel look like an airtight pancake when viewed from the side. The advantage of this is that the flow around the straight-line racing car will be very regular and the speed will be very fast.
No gaps mean that the airflow will pass smoothly from the sides of the tire and the sides of the wheel. If there are gaps in the wheel, the wind will not be so smooth.
Therefore, spokeless wheels are generally used to enhance the straight-line performance of racing cars.
However, once there is side wind, the spokeless wheel will have extremely poor stability.
The so-called king of tailwind, dead in crosswind, this is the spokeless wheel of moto3 back then.
However, there are still some drivers who use this set of wheels on some tracks, but only on tracks without wind.
The wind deflector on the RC16 is obviously based on the same principle as the spokeless wheel, but it only covers half of it, obviously taking side wind into consideration.
Qin Chuan continued to watch.
Focusing his vision, Qin Chuan locked onto the two small wings on the left and right guide plates.
The wings are not big, and are horizontal on the left and right. One protrudes to the left, and the other protrudes to the right. On the left and right sides of the rocker, they protrude outward by about four centimeters in length, and are shaped like airplane wings. Are small airplane wings installed on both sides of the rocker?
This...isn't it a bit too weird?
Jiang Yue frowned at the side. When she watched these things, she always felt that racing cars were too scary.
In order to speed up, all kinds of weird things are added.
Qin Chuan continued to watch carefully.
If we call it airplane wings, of course, this is definitely a smaller version, and this pair of small wings does not generate lift, but downforce, and the amplitude of the wings is just opposite to that of the airplane.
This effect is even more obvious, and Qin Chuan guessed it without even thinking about it.
The former is to make the air flow more regular, prevent the wind from passing through the gap between the wheel hubs, and increase the straight-line speed, while the pair of small wings is to increase the downforce of the rear wheels, also for straight lines.
The only thing that small wings have provided throughout history is downforce.
Qin Chuan is not too surprised by the increasing number of fancy modifications on GP factory cars, nor does he find it abrupt.
To be honest, the current GP factory cars have the potential to develop in the direction of ghost fire.
All kinds of fancy little wings.
However, Qin Chuan can still feel the difference between the two. The will-o'-the-wisp is abrupt and cheap, while the GP is not at that level yet. For example, the two pairs of small wings and guide vanes are too small in shape. Although they are abrupt, if KTM does not announce them, fans may not be able to notice them even after the season ends just by looking at them.
The abruptness of the GP racing car lies in the details when viewed closely, which is different from the particularly large abruptness of the will-o'-the-wisp.
"The two pairs of wings are only four centimeters long. I have tested them and found that they will be blocked by the car in front when the car body is tilted. They will only work when the car body is upright and will only slightly help straight-line acceleration."
Pedrosa's voice continued, his tone weary.
Obviously, this component will only come into play when the car body is upright after coming out of a bend, and will not come into play when the car body is tilted.
