Chapter 44:

In mid-July, the first World College Student Artificial Intelligence Racing Race officially kicked off.
The Prime team arrived at the circuit early.
As soon as he entered the stadium, the young man's laughing and excited face flashed. That's their opponent-college students from various countries, wearing their own team's t-shirts, can tell at a glance which country from which school.
Prime's t-shirt is red, and several blue and white flames are flying on it. When I first made a t-shirt, it was not made by one size. The designer designed it and registered the size one by one.
Du Ruo secretly talked about Jingming, saying that he would also care about such things.
Li Wei asked: "Look at him, from hair to toes, why don't you care?"
Only now when I arrived at the scene did I realize that they were also t-shirts. Their team walked between a pile of ordinary cultural shirts, which was particularly imposing.
Du Ruo passed by the hallway of the stadium and looked out to the outdoors.
Despite the hot weather, there were a lot of spectators at the scene.
College students, industry elites, car enthusiasts, and technology enthusiasts from all over the world are packed with open-air stands next to the track.
The media area is even more ammunition, and journalists from all over the world are waiting.
In the arena, the staff of the organizing committee and authorized broadcasters are debugging aerial drones.
The track is crooked, running out of space. The viewing area that the stands can cover is 1.5 kilometers, and the remaining 3.5 kilometers extend to a distance, which needs to be viewed through a large screen on site.
From the venue to the parking lot, 24 driverless cars were neatly parked in their respective positions.
Du Ruo glanced at the cars of other teams.
For many cars, for functional reasons, the finished product looks like a bare robot, or it is simply covered with a black paint shell.
Of course, there are also some cars that have carefully decorated the exterior, painted with paint, and painted the team logo. For example, the yellow car of the United States AD team is glorious.
But if you want to choose the most beautiful and eye-catching car, it is their primeno.1.
When they did the final inspection in front of the car, many people from other teams cast curious glances. Several blond lads from Germany came to take a photo with primeno.1 and kept boasting amazing!
Seeing this scene, Du Ruo muttered quietly: "It's still thoughtful of you."
Jing Ming snorted and said, "The game didn't start at the moment when the starting gun fired. It was only then, it was late."
The race was approaching, and those who watched the photos went back to their respective parking spaces.
Prime points are in Group F in the second half and Group 6 plays, so there is a break.
Each group of parking spaces has a rest seat and a small screen, and those who come out can see the scene of the game on TV.
The moderator is giving an opening speech and putting together a variety of impassioned words.
The camera swept through the auditorium outside the railings, and the summer was crowded.
He Wang laughed: "Fuck, so many viewers!"
The team members laughed, both nervous and excited.
Du Ruo: "I didn't expect so many people to come."
Wan Ziang: "Of course there will be so many people. This is the future of human technology."
As I said, three cars from Group A appeared.
There was cheering in the auditorium on the outdoor racing track.
The parking lot was quiet.
Each team gathered in its own rest area, staring at the screen and observing the strength of the opponent.
The three teams in Group A are the American AD team, the British GW team, and the Chinese supreme team.
The styles of the three cars are hugely different. The AD cars in the United States are painted yellow, and have a degree of coolness similar to that of primeno.1; the ordinary ones in Britain have a black body;
The three cars stopped slowly at the starting line.
Jing Ming touched his chin and said unconsciously: "We have to lose."
Du Ruo: "Why?"
Jing Ming: "The body proportions are not correct, and the resistance is large. Looking at his design, an engine? There is insufficient power and the speed can never be raised."
On the TV, outside the parking lot, the host's high-pitched voice came at the same time: "Exciting time has come! Now, our first group match is about to begin! ... Please evacuate the staff! ... Let us be there Refer to the referee! "
Inside and out, the raven is silent.
Suddenly, a gunshot.
Three unmanned racing cars accelerated away from the starting line in an instant, and the yellow car of the AD team left the two cars behind them in an instant and disappeared.
Participants in the parking lot watched in their hearts: too fast!
Many college students' faces have changed.
AD is really fast! The first 1.5 km of the runway was extremely tortuous, and three cars were still visible in the overhead shot. But the 3.5 km behind is a rolling lane. After the yellow car rushed out 1.5 km, the camera could no longer take three cars at the same time. Until the yellow car ran for 5 kilometers, the opponent passed by on the return journey.
Jing Ming stared at the data table at the top of the screen to see that the speed of the car soared from 167km / h to 286km / h.
Du Ruo could not help but tremble his legs, suggesting himself: "Our primeno.1 can reach this speed."
Li Wei worry: "But the higher the speed, the more difficult and dangerous it is."
Jingming: "It does the same."
Yellow car really took the lead to cross the finish line, 2 minutes 42 seconds. The average speed is about 250km / h.
Jing Ming: "This is our opponent in the final."
Du Ruo first doubted whether he judged too early, but soon found that the other 9 cars in the first half did not perform better than 2 minutes and 42 seconds.
AD showed its dominance in the group stage.
What was unexpected was that there were car crashes in the next three groups of races in the first half.
During the B race, two cars collided at high speed and scrapped at the same time;
A car of Group C crashed out of the border by itself and suffered heavy damage;
A car in Group D spontaneously ignited.
The situation is grim, and the group battle has quickly burned to the second half.
Zhu Tao headed for primeno.1, wondering: "Why are they at this level? I ran for the competition without any basic skills"
Jing Ming: "The yellow car in AD is too fast and gives too much psychological pressure. Some cars should temporarily start a backup program."
"Then we ..."
"Nothing to do." Jing Ming crouched, and touched the body of primeno.1, said, "I totally trust her."
Three teams from group e have already played, and they are ready for group F.
Du Ruo suddenly called everyone: "Wait! Wait!"
Jingming and others stopped: "Why?"
"Come, come on!" She held out her right hand.
"You are really tired of playing." Jing Ming spit out.
"Hurry up!" She stomped.
He sighed and put her right hand over the back of her hand. The people covered their right hands one after the other, holding the eleven hands together, and pushed down hard:
"PrImego!"
Soon, the Group E game was over.
The teenagers followed the primeno.1 appearance.
They crossed the line between light and darkness, and the shady parking lot was thrown behind.
On the field, the sun was burning and the earth was burning.
After the last inspection of the vehicles by the members of each group, the car was in place.
The players retreated to the command area aside.
At this moment, the players stopped talking to each other. Each heart beat like a stare, staring at their car.
Du Ruo's heart referred to his throat and throbbed violently in his throat.
The scorching sun made the sky and sky white, and the world was quiet.
Suddenly, the starting gun fired.
Primeno.1 speeds out of the runway in an instant, accelerates to 100km / h in 3 seconds, and then ramps up to 166km / h. It decelerates in corners and accelerates in straights. It speeds on the tortuous runway and quickly moves two opponents Left behind.
When it was feasible to turn around, a sudden accident occurred.
Of the other two cars behind, one wanted to overtake, but suddenly collided with the other's car. At high speeds, the car lost control and spun off the track and rushed towards primeno.1.
A loud bang!
The tail of Primeno.1 was choked out of a huge mouth, and the body was bumped violently and decelerated sharply.
He Wang: "Fuck tmD!"
Du Ruo was frustrated with his fists.
Jing Ming also bit his jaw severely.
It is this scum opponent who touches the porcelain, and whoever puts it up is not angry.
The perpetrator rushed out of the track all the way, hitting the wall under the stand, and instantly burst into flames.
After primeno.1 slows down, it speeds up again.
But after running 1.5 kilometers into the open track, her speed was only up to 256km / h.
In 1 minute and 45 seconds, primeno.1 finished the first 5 kilometers and turned around to return. After 1 minute and 15 seconds, the car crossed the finish line.
In 3 minutes!
Du Ruo was a little confused, 18 seconds longer than the AD team.
The others in the team were also very quiet, not at all like they won first in the group stage.
After all, everyone looks at the finals.
Jing Ming stabilized the army and said, "Ready for the next game." She also said, "She knows very well, so don't worry."
Du Ruo smiled: "We know she has a sense of scale, but the scene was too nervous."
He Wang cursed: "I hope I won't run into those scum opponents, it's too daddy."
Li Wei comforted: "Rest assured, they will all be eliminated in the group stage."
After the players simply dealt with primeno.1, it didn't take long before the knockout round began.
Primeno.1 continued to pass the challenge and successfully eliminated two opponents into the semi-finals. The speed also slowly increased, 2 minutes and 50 seconds, and 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
The opponent in the semi-final was Peng Cheng. Their best result along the way was 2 minutes and 38 seconds, which was even better than primeno.1.
However, the game was still unsurprising and primeno.1 was always ahead of them, and finally crossed the finish line with a time of 2:35.
Her performance was better than once, and gradually attracted the attention of the people present.
The opponents found out that Prime's car rarely speeds up violently, as if she cares more about safety and behaves stably and accurately. And she came with the opponent, the opponent is not strong, she ran away casually, the opponent is strong, she suffocated.
At this look, the car seems to have a little sense of autonomy, and can respond most comfortably to herself based on the scene conditions.
Before preparing for the final, Jing Ming told the crowd: "Relax now. She will win."
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
That being said, the moment of the finals, tension is still inevitable.
It's been a whole day.
After the rest of the teams on both sides had rested, it was already more than 4 pm.
High temperature,
Everyone's clothes were sweaty, and all day, outdoors, the teenager's face was red.
The audience in the stands was also exhausted, but the spirit was excited to a high point. The Mileage Long March finally ran to the last step, waiting for the birth of a world champion.
The final opponent was the American AD team with a best score of 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Both sides were friendly and entered the finals with sincere admiration for their opponents.
Before the game, the players from both sides shook hands one by one.
Soon, they returned to their respective positions.
The crowds returned to the command zone, leaving everything to the racing car itself.
At this moment, he is doing everything and knowing his destiny.
The entire stadium, from the stadium to the track, from the auditorium to the media area, the vast world is dead and silent, with no breeze.
Only the summer sun was hot and silent on a yellow and red two equally cool cars.
The host shouted: "I announce! The first world college student driverless racing race! The finals-! Start!"
The starting gun fired.
Two cars, one yellow and one red, accelerated at the same time and rushed off the track. The technical data on the big screen shows that both sides accelerate to 100km / h in 2.5 seconds. After that, the two cars bite each other, and you overtake me, soaring to 200km / h.
Regardless of the straight curve, no one in the two cars would let anyone bite like a shadow, causing the gravel to fly into the sky.
Spectators, reporters, staff, and parking lot players were all caught in the most intense game of today.
The two cars ran across the last corner of the 1.5-kilometer road, rushing to the 3.5-kilometer stretch of the track. This road is convenient for overtaking, and everyone hopes to take the lead over the other.
After trying several times, AD finally pinpointed the card position, successfully surpassed the position of primeno.1, the speed was km 286km / h, and the distance from primeno.1 seemed to be widened.
But no one expected that in the next second, primeno.1 would go straight up to 300km / h!
When this value popped up on the big screen, there was a chill in the auditorium.
In the parking lot, the other team members watching TV were shocked:
"OhmYgoD!"
"ThAt’ScrAZY!"
"Fuck, aren't you afraid of rolling over ?!"
The AD team is also not afraid to die to 300km / h!
As if no one was out of control.
Du Ruo stared at the big screen, and the red and yellow rushes along the tree-lined runway. She was nervous enough to jump out of her heart.
The audience in the stands were also dumbfounded, staring at the screen and dare not show up.
At 1 minute and 10 seconds, primeno.1 and AD ran for 5 kilometers and rushed to the 180-degree U-turn at the end of the track-the accident-prone section. Everyone stopped breathing.
I saw that the red car only slowed down slightly. There was a drift during the turn. The gravel on the track surface was abraded with dust. The high-altitude camera clearly recorded the sharp noise of the tire when it was rubbing the ground.
The speed is too fast, the body violently slipped away from the center of the runway, but at the moment when it was about to touch the runway line, it increased its horsepower, the wheels flew, kept its direction, accelerated again and started the return journey!
Within a second, primeno.1 turned around successfully and aggressively.
Du Ruo fell down in a big breath,
Li Wei and others shouted with fists: "YeS!"
The AD yellow car next to her also did not slow down significantly, but at the moment of drifting, due to insufficient body control, he almost slipped off the track, but he also managed to catch up within a second.
But primeno.1 got the chance to jam the track, the yellow car tried several times, but couldn't surpass it.
Rushing all the way back to the last 1.5 kilometers, the red car went faster and more steadily, coping with various curve obstacles, left and right, unstoppable.
The two cars ran one after the other, clamoring for the end!
In the control zone, the teenagers in the prime were already holding hands and standing in a row, their eyes were straight, emitting almost insane light.
Everyone whispered in their mouths, praying!
The last 100 meters!
AD did not give up, tried to overtake, and the speed reached 310km / h.
Did not expect primeno.1 to accelerate directly to 320km / h!
The audience was crazy! In a split second, we successfully crossed the line!
2 minutes and 05 seconds!
The average speed is 300km / h!
A row of teenagers in red t-shirts were all crazy, screaming like crazy, yelling with their fists, rushing onto the track, towards their car.
There was a hissing applause in the auditorium.
In front of the screen of the parking lot, there is a marvel of foreign languages.
Soon, primeno.1 never turned around and drove back.
The young girls called to run over, Du Ruo Li Wanzi Ang Hewang rushed to the car and hugged her and laughed. The engine was too hot to care.
Jing Ming also hugged the car, kissed him fiercely on the front cover, kissed his face with dust, and wiped away with sweat.
The teenagers hugged the car, hugged the team members, and the boys who fought side by side exchanged powerful gratitude hugs one by one. Du Ruo also received ten hugs from his teammates.
Everyone hugged and yelled and jumped. After returning to the starting point, they shook hands with the AD team members who thanked them and thanked each other.
Exciting voices of the host sounded over the parking lot:
"The winner of the first World University Student Driverless Racing Race is the prime robot research team from Beijing, China. They are world champions! Let ’s congratulate them with warm applause!
Cheering at the scene.
Soon, the starting line was lively. The contestants all ran out of the parking lot and took photos with the prime team and their cars.
Young people from all over the world gather together, take pictures, smoke salute, and make a group.
Several foreign college student teams exchanged enthusiasm with Jing Ming Li Wei and others, exchanged contact methods, and encouraged each other to continue to innovate and boldly go on this road, and promised to meet again in the next game.
Finally, the organizing committee convened the prime team to take the championship photos. The young people laughed and squeezed into a group before the bright red primeno.1, lining up the cars on both sides. Du Ruo was squeezed beside Jing Ming. The teenagers bent their shoulders and bent down, looking tightly at the camera.
Jing Ming's hand was also placed on Du Ruo's shoulder, holding her, looking at the camera, and smiling.
Click!
Time freezes.
That day, the world was sunny.
