Ruo Chun and Jing Ming

chapter87

That winter, the cold wave was frequent.

But Du Ruo's memories of that year's winter and spring are extraordinarily warm and clear.

In the first three months of the new year, their lives can be summarized in two words: test drive.

From snow-capped hills to muddy lands in spring rain, from complex urban roads to winding mountain roads, primeno.3 is speeding all the way, performing perfectly, and under the several perfect adjustments of the prime team, the functions have made rapid progress.

That season, everyone's hearts were hot and hot.

The cold winter seemed to pass by overnight, and the world soon returned to spring.

At the beginning of April, Beijing's withered look was no longer there, and the whole city changed from the center to the suburbs.

Willows are green on both sides of the street, and wild pear blossoms are blooming in the mountains.

At this time, at the foot of the Great Wall of Badaling, the world's fourth world driverless car rally championship kicked off.

Beijing 2024 is here.

The competition brings together 20 teams from 15 countries around the world, all representing the highest level of driverless research in each country.

The game will be broadcast live simultaneously on TV and online. Media reporters also came from all over the world to cover the event.

That morning, the starting point of Badaling was crowded with fans watching the race. The colorful flags flew loudly.

The interview corridor in the media area is bustling, with short guns.

Due to home court reasons, the domestic media present at the scene occupied half of the country, and interviewed and spoke around Dong Cheng and the Pengcheng team.

In the past few months, Peng Cheng's propaganda activities have surged higher and higher, the stock has skyrocketed, and the whole nation has paid attention, as if waiting for Peng Cheng to win the championship at home.

In contrast, Prime did not disclose any news during this time, and the team was very low-key.

Jing Ming and others did not stay for a while, walked through the interview channel, and went into the arena.

On the way, I encountered a group of people from the United States AD team.

In Shenzhen that year, the first and second runners-up in the first racing competition met again.

The two teams were pleasantly surprised and exchanged enthusiastically. AD is the last rally champion, the goal of this trip is naturally to defend the title.

Jing Ming also said with a humility that Prime is the champion.

The two teams laughed and wished each other good luck.

At 9 am, the opening ceremony took place. The host introduced the participating countries and the itinerary for the fans and fans on the TV broadcast network around the world.

The shortest race on the first day, 490 kilometers, from Beijing to Hohhot, through the city, rural, mountainous and grassland.

The special stage is 120 kilometers, divided into four 30 kilometers sections.

The race only records the time spent on the special stage, but the participating teams must reach the start of the stage within the prescribed time, otherwise the penalty will be overtime.

The team that arrived at the start of the stage started in a group of four cars and timed the stage.

The first special stage of today's competition is in the mountains 50 kilometers away. The first stage is an extremely difficult mountain race.

The arrangement of the organizing committee is also based on the consideration of broadcast ratings, and the intention is to quickly raise the excitement and participation of the audience at the beginning of the game.

Around ten o'clock, the game is about to begin.

There are 20 driverless cars lined up in the open-air parking lot. Red yellow white black, colorful.

Nowadays, the development of unmanned driving is rapid, and it is different from the original Shenzhen.

Many teams not only pay attention to practicality, but also pay attention to appearance.

Du Ruo generously scanned the vehicles of other teams, thinking that their "Wei Yi" is the most glorious!

Jing Ming walked to the side of Weiyi and gave a glance.

In front of the convoy, the sky is blue, and the aerial drone is debugging and taking off.

On the horizon, the road winds and disappears into the endless mountains along the majestic Great Wall. And the mountains are full of large white pear blossoms.

He held his rearview mirror and whispered, "Friend, the road ahead is up to you."

He Wang Du Ruo and others also came around and touched No.3's body, patted it twice to cheer him on.

The competition is about to start, and the staff instructs the participating vehicles to enter the stadium in turn.

Jing Ming looked at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo grinned and stretched out his right hand: "Come, come on!"

He Wangwanziang laughed.

Jing Ming put his left hand on Wei Yi, and his right hand covered the back of Du Ruo. Then, He Wang put his hands up, Tu Zhiyuan, Zhu Tao, and Wan Ziang, and they covered their hands one by one.

Ten hands clasped together.

Ten young people looked around, looked at each other, and laughed inconsistently. Spring is here and the sun is shining.

They pushed their palms down hard:

"Primego!"

"Come on!"

Primeno.3, officially launched.

In the eyes of the audience, he slowly drove out of the parking lot with other vehicles and embarked on the journey. The prime character on the body was domineering.

Twenty cars parked at the starting point in turn.

At 10:00 am Beijing time, the world was silent.

With an order, twenty driverless off-road vehicles set off at the foot of the Great Wall at the same time.

Viewers across the world have seen this victory through television and webcasts-

Through 20 windows, the driver's seat, the co-pilot, and the rear seat were empty. But these cars seemed to have eyes and chased each other, but they didn't bump into each other and ran along the highway.

In the traffic flow, the blue and white contrast design of primeno.3 is particularly eye-catching.

Non-special sections are not timed, just rush to the competition area at the prescribed time. So the competition between the teams is not fierce. The commentator's commentary was also smooth, with various introductions and small lace.

However, in order to enter the next stage as soon as possible, some teams will avoid accidentally hurting themselves with poor quality opponents, and will try to grab the first group of games.

Primeno.3 is one of them.

Jing Ming and others, as well as engineers and logistics staff of Chunhe such as Yang Yan, Chen Xian and Yi Kun, allocated four off-road vehicles and followed the unmanned convoy.

From the live broadcast screen in the car, it can be seen that "Weiyi" is always in the first echelon and does not compete but never falls behind.

On non-special road sections, most vehicles perform well, without stinging or off-roading.

Even Pengcheng's car performed well.

More than forty minutes later, Prime, AD, Pengcheng and a French team took the lead to reach the first special section. Play in teams of four.

This section is a 30-kilometer mountain road, running down for about ten minutes at high speed.

There were a few minutes of preparation time before the race. Jing Ming Du Ruo and others quickly performed a simple inspection and maintenance of the car to ensure that there were no problems.

At this moment, the interest of live car fans was raised.

Soon, the preparation time is over.

Game start!

The four cars rushed out of the starting line at the same time, leaving the arrow like a string.

Primeno.3 actually accelerated to 100km / h in 1 second, occupying the first position first. Overtaking on mountain roads is quite difficult. The first three cars were biting like tails. The four cars snaked along the mountain road like a rushing snake. You chase after me.

There are many bends on the mountain road. No.3 seems to be overridden by a highly skilled rider. When the bends occur, they will drift and spin, setting off a leaf and sand flying around the road.

The AD team and the French team urgently started dust removal measures to ensure clear sight, while Peng Cheng was not thrown away and followed closely.

This is only the first stage of the contest, as a matter of common sense, there is no need to try hard.

However, the red car of the AD team obviously locked primeno.3 as the first competitor, constantly accelerating, and wanted to challenge his first position. But primeno.3 is very smart, and the card is successfully inserted again and again, which makes AD unable to surpass it.

Just when the two cars were struggling with each other, and it was difficult to solve the problem, Peng Cheng did not want to take the opportunity to find an empty hole to drill in. Seeing that he had surpassed the primeno.3 half position, he had to lead.

Primeno.3 instantly noticed that the speed swelled to 210km / h in one second! Rushed to a position and stabilized first again.

The commentator exclaimed.

In the off-road vehicles behind the teams, there were sounds of astonishment in various languages.

This speed is too dangerous!

There is a sharp curve ahead.

Everyone raised their hearts and suspected that primeno.3, an off-road vehicle, could not grasp the ground at this speed, and would slip and roll off the mountain road. When primeno.3 was a sharp 360-degree rotating drift, between the light and flint, the tires were ground , Grit splashing. Immediately twisted the front of the car, stabilized the body, and galloped away.

This performance made the narrator utter a case: "It's crazy!"

The barrage suddenly went crazy in the live room.

And all the contestants are in one heart:

What is a champion photo?

This is.

Who would have thought that the prime, which fell to the top of the world six years ago, suddenly fell, and it turned out that it had really come back.

The debut was like a flash of lightning, without hiding the arrogance, arrogance, and arrogance, and immediately kicked off the prelude to this game.

Primeno.3 galloped all the way across the end of the 30km section. It took 7 minutes and 38 seconds to set a new mountain record for the previous three games!

In the rear off-road vehicle, He Wang excitedly turned back and raised his palm, and Du Ruoyang gave him a blow!

"Fuck!" He Wangdashu was sullen in his heart, and said cheerfully, "After six years, fuck!"

Jingming spit out: "How long is the backlog? Can you keep a low profile?"

"Go, the least qualified person on this car is you!"

Everyone laughed, excited and relaxed.

Jing Ming was rather cold, saying: "Peng Cheng's car is very strange."

Du Ruo: "Where is it strange?"

"Can't say." Jing Ming frowned slightly. "The performance is much better than I expected. It shouldn't be."

"I found it, too," Wan Ziang said. "It's like a world-class team."

"Forget it, leave him alone."

The remaining 16 teams lined up in order to start the race, but all the spectators were immersed in the previous race and were difficult to extricate themselves.

The narrator recalled with interest after the start of the second group stage: "The first game can be entered into the history of the event!"

Primo.3, which shined in the arena, has set off at this moment, and proceeded to the next stage in disgrace.

Due to the eye-catching performance of "Weiyi", when he was driving in a non-special stage, the broadcast pictures kept giving him shots.

"I'm going." He Wang flipped through the cell phone broadcast room. "Till now the barrage is still brushing prime. We're going to fire again."

Jing Ming sneered: "What kind of attention should be paid to those who leave at the moment of success and leave at the moment of trough?"

He Wang raised his eyebrows, too, and never read reviews and comments.

Du Ruo glanced at his side, and while others were not paying attention, he secretly touched his hand as a comfort.

And he just groaned, and he didn't care, he was so sneaky, it was a little funny, turned his head to look at her, and whispered, "Are you tired?"

They have been bumping on the road for more than an hour.

Du Ruo shook his head: "Not tired."

"Tired to sleep on my shoulders."

"Well."

He Wang interposed: "Can I sleep on your shoulders?"

Jingming: "Go!"

After the four groups of games are completed, the statistical results come out. The prime stage is the first.

Next, the second stage is a rural dirt road, testing the problems of dust and sight during high-speed driving;

The third stage is the township sand and gravel stage, which tests the abrasion of the car body at high speeds;

Primeno.3 passed the level and won the first three stages.

Until the fourth special stage, the prairie stage, something unexpected happened.

At more than five in the afternoon, after a day of trekking, the convoy traveled more than 400 kilometers in a row, almost reaching Hohhot.

A new green, shallow river flows through the spring grassland like a transparent ribbon.

The sun is about to set, and the sky is bright red.

AD, prime, Peng Cheng, and the British team that caught up to the first group stage of the grassland.

The test of this section of the road is the ability to navigate the line and the ability to travel to the shallows.

There are no roads and no margins on the grassland. The 30 km road is all based on the gpS navigation planning inside the driverless car, and the best route is selected by itself.

The grasslands are extremely wide, and the cars do not interfere with each other, and they run quickly under their respective lines.

Under the aerial photography, the endless green field is so beautiful that four cars pass through it like small matchboxes.

Soon, primeno.3 / "Weiyi" smoothly crossed the last river.

With only three kilometers left, he and the AD and Peng Cheng who arrived at the same time rushed to the stone road at the end of the grassland stage. This time, he still accelerated to take the lead and lead the way.

AD and Peng Cheng are separated and follow closely.

The narrator was agitated and forgot that there was a group stage behind him: "Will prime take the first place in all stages today, and set a record? Will a miracle occur?"

Everyone held their breaths and waited.

Seeing that only the last mile was left, the three cars were racing fast, but suddenly, an accident happened.

Pengcheng accelerated suddenly and hit the body of "Weiyi".

Just hear a loud bang!

The back door of Weiyi was knocked out of a recess, and the letter e of prime was scraped away.

The commentator who was positively passionate was startled, and suddenly lost his voice.

Fortunately, one second before the collision, "Weiyi" noticed the approaching of the vehicle in advance, evaded it, and suffered little damage. There was a bump in his body, he quickly stabilized and adjusted quickly, rushing to the end again.

Still first!

The live room was boiling again.

But everyone in the prime team was angry.

Zhu Tao was so distressed and scolded: "I fuck! Peng Cheng's broken car is also **** to participate in the race!"

He Wang: "I must complain!"

Du Ruo was also angry with red eyes: "How come I met such a bad opponent back and forth?"

Jing Ming was silent for a while, but said coldly: "The car hit him intentionally." . .

chapter88

The crowd snapped: "What do you mean?"

He Wang immediately objected: "How is that possible? Pengcheng's artificial intelligence is so powerful? Has negative emotions, revenge in a collision?"

Wan Ziang: "Just their ability!"

Du Ruo analysis: "Is there a problem with the visual system of their car? Didn't see Weiyi?"

"Not like it." Jing Ming shook his head and took the remote control to play back the video. "For the last three kilometers, it has been trying to surpass, indicating that it can see that Weiyi is ahead. It is nearing the end, bumping and accelerating. It is not speeding forward but Towards Weiyi. You see, ... isn't it intentional? "

Everyone watched the video again and sure enough.

Du Ruo was surprised: "It was like someone was taking revenge in the car."

Why can't he figure out: "Pengcheng's artificial intelligence has reached this level?"

"Cut." Jing Ming sarcastically said, "None of the world's top teams have reached this level. Where does he come from?

Although there were doubts, at this moment, I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

There was silence in the compartment.

Outside the car window, the sun began to settle on the grassland, and the sunset was full of sky.

A few hundred meters behind, in the car of Yang Ye, she smoked a cigarette and looked at the beautiful grassland outside the window.

Soon after, look back.

After a tiring day, the engineers in the car were all energetic and excitedly discussing Spring and Prime with their own sense of honor.

Yi Kun calmly looked out the window.

Yang Yan asked, "How is the game?"

Yi Kun: "He does have strength."

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked back at the sunset to the west.

They soon reached the end of the Hohhot stage.

"Weiyi" has already stopped at the finish line and accepted the cheers and applause of the fans on this stage.

When I set off in the morning in Beijing, all domestic eyes focused on Peng Cheng.

Arrive in Hohhot in the evening, and give all praises to Chun and prime.

Within a day, the wind turned sharply.

Social media is bursting.

Primeno.3 / dimensionally loud.

He won all the first four stages, and he grabbed the limelight of the first match day!

Next to the interview channel, the magnesium light flickered, and the reporters stretched their microphones to wait for the winner to speak.

But Prime refused all media interviews and did not walk back across the aisle. He left the outfield early and went to the garage.

They followed "Wei Yi" all the way from Beijing to Hohhot. After going through various difficult road conditions, they were all dusty and exhausted at the moment. But rushed to their friends.

"Weiyi" ran for 490 kilometers, waiting for them quietly, covered in dirt.

When Jing Ming saw him, he couldn't care about the mud on his body, and patted his front cover vigorously: "It's hard."

He Wang patted him cheerfully: "Good friend!"

They pulled the water pipe, rinsed Weiyi, and washed the tire seams from head to toe.

He Wang said a few times: "This level! If you don't do this, go to a car wash shop together. Business is hot!"

Jing Ming hated: "I don't have the mood to wash the car for others."

Du Ruo agreed: "It's a good thing that he hasn't kicked. It's bankrupt."

Jingming: "..." You glanced at her quietly.

She stuck her tongue out.

Everyone laughed.

After washing the car, then repaired the damaged recess on the car, and then inspected and repaired the whole body, lubricated, and cared for it.

Du Ruo was so hungry that he didn't care.

No one is lax.

After nearly two hours, the team members went back to the hotel and went to the restaurant for dinner after cleaning.

At 8 o'clock, after dinner time, most of the diners were contestants, and many came to congratulate them. Occasionally, passers-by curiously looked around, and seemed to recognize the red people who have gained fame across the country today.

Du Ruo constantly swiped her mobile phone while eating, the news media reported that the social network was hot, and even surpassed the recent celebrity marriage.

Comment on Yishuier's praise:

"Well, the prime was finally killed back then! Lao Tzu waited for six years! I was a graduate student now, and now I'm running three dogs! Really, with tears."

"Grips upstairs, I'm also a fan of them!"

"Jingming is the most handsome! I want to give him monkeys!"

"Prime is so powerful, black technology! I am relieved to see that my father is so powerful!"

"I said that Pengcheng is a marketing product, and prime is our highest level of driverless!"

She pursed her lips while watching.

Jing Ming frowned: "Dine well!"

"Oh." She stole her phone.

"no appetite?"

"Hungry." Du Ruo frowned. "I don't seem to be hungry now."

"It will have to eat too. More than 700 kilometers tomorrow, it will be more tiring."

"Oh. Let me have some more." Du Ruo added a small spoonful of rice.

Tomorrow from Hohhot to Yinchuan, the day after tomorrow from Yinchuan to Xining ...

All the way to the west, the desert Gobi, the journey will be even worse.

He went upstairs after dinner. He Wang was so excited that he couldn't sleep at 9 o'clock, and proposed to play for a while.

Everyone rushed to his room with Wan Ziang, two beds beside the sofa, and everyone lay on their backs, holding their mobile phones and playing in two teams.

Du Ruo didn't know how to play and ran behind Jingming.

At some point, Jingming suddenly stared at the phone and said, "Du Ruo!"

Du Ruo looked up: "Huh?"

"..." Jing Ming said, "It's all right."

She looked again, alas, it turned out that she was killed by He Wang.

Du Ruo: "..."

He Wang looked up from his phone and laughed, "I'm not ready to kill you. Why don't you run away."

Du Ruo: "I didn't see you again."

He Wang: "You are so stupid to play games."

Du Ruo: "..."

Tu Zhiyuan: "What hope."

"Why?"

"Jingming killed you."

"... Fuck!" He Wang jumped up, "Zhu Tao avenged me!"

Zhu Tao: "I'm not your boyfriend."

"..."

Du Ruo played for a few games and went to find snacks;

Jing Ming stopped playing and sat down in front of the computer to watch today's game video playback.

He Wang and others are still fighting in the game.

Du Ruo, eating orange, voluntarily slipped to Jingming and sat next to him, handing a orange to his mouth. He opened his mouth and stared at the screen.

She watched with him: "Looking for Pengcheng?"

"Ok."

He quickly tapped his finger on the keyboard, and the picture passed frame by frame. Suddenly, he paused with a tap:

"This drone ..."

The broadcast picture comes from the drone camera perspective, which is lower than the body, and the intuitive effect of the high-speed rubbing of the tire during the race is captured.

Nearly ten shooting drones are flying in the sky, evenly distributed.

Jing Ming stared at a drone in the corner of the picture. At first glance, it looks very similar to the unified drone shooting team of the organizing committee, but if you look closely, there is a slight difference in the feet of that drone.

Jingming: "Everyone come to see this drone."

The crowd put down their phones and went to the table, and Jing Ming called up a few pictures he found.

The layman may not be able to tell, but the layman can tell at a glance that they are not the same paragraph.

Zhu Tao: "Where did this drone come from?"

Jing Ming: "You see these pictures of it, it has been near Pengcheng's car."

He Wang responded: "I'm going, Pengcheng should not be remotely controlled. Cheating ?!"

Although the development of unmanned driving to large-scale mass production in the future, remote control and integrated network construction are bound to occur. However, at this stage, the competition is only to test the performance of the vehicle itself, and artificial remote control of the background is absolutely prohibited. And the current remote control is far from high-level, just to take shortcuts to deal with speculation in the game.

Wan Ziang: "If this is the case, his car is not driverless at all, it is a remote control car!"

Du Ruo couldn't believe it: "This is because they want to cheat."

Jing Ming taunted: "The investment is small and the return is great. If it were not for Prime to grab the limelight, Pengcheng would perform as it is today, and Ruifeng's stock would be full of money."

Du Ruo asked, "What now?"

"Report!" He Wangyi filled with indignation. "Pengcheng takes so many national special support funds and subsidies for science and technology every year, but when doing this kind of misconduct, he is exposed to destroy him completely and clear him out of the circle!"

Wan Ziang: "But have you ever thought about it? The race is held here with us. The national team cheated ?! The impact is too bad. Isn't it a shame to the country?"

"This……"

Jingming said: "It's okay, we take the first and fight back."

At the end they said,

"I'm afraid to hide my ugliness and hide it. It's not good for us. Even more afraid ..."

He didn't say, everyone knew.

Even more afraid of the fact that the committee is informed ... that would be a bigger scandal.

Nowhere in the crowd did they encounter such a shady moment, and they didn't say anything for a moment.

"It shouldn't be so." Jing Ming shook his head and said.

Du Ruodao: "If you go to report, there are too many uncontrollable factors, afraid that it is not good for us. Besides, what if the drone is okay? You must first determine that Pengcheng is cheating.

Jing Ming was silent, watched the video again, and suddenly smiled, "There is a way."
