Ruo Chun and Jing Ming - Chapter 86
chapter89
The second game day from Hohhot to Yinchuan, a distance of 710 kilometers, passed through grasslands, deserts, and loess slopes.
The special stage is 300 kilometers, divided into ten 30 kilometers sections.
After the first day of warming up, the next match day became increasingly cruel. The dense schedule, high intensity, long time consuming, and poor road conditions are a great test of vehicle performance.
The same is true for followers, engineers and logistics staff.
Jing Ming and others set off at 7:30 in the morning to meet Yang Ye before getting in the car and asked her how things were going. Yang Yan said that he took care of everything and reassured him.
Du Ruo heard, curious: “What is it?”
Jing Ming grinned, “You’ll know by then.”
“… or Pengcheng?”
“Ok.”
Du Ruo thought, whispered: “Be careful, I’m afraid Dong Cheng will avenge you.”
“It’s okay.” He smiled and touched her head.
Today I have to run more than 700 kilometers.
After driving for a while, Jingming asked her, “Are you tired?”
“…” Du Ruo said silently, “This is only early in the morning. I’m not that weak.”
Jing Ming ticked the corners of his lips obliquely.
At the starting point of the stadium, the waiting fans crowded the fences on both sides of the road, especially the young girl fans, who actually called the slogan of prime.
Jing Ming was paralyzed on the seat, glanced out the window, and retracted lazily.
Dorothy: “I’m all here to see you.”
Jing Ming sighed: “It’s useless to see, there is a master.”
“…” Du Ruo squeezed his lips tightly, and his heart whined suddenly.
He Wang was going to commit suicide, and he drove the window: “I want to jump, don’t stop me!”
Jingming: “Hurry up.”
After getting out of the car and walking in, Dong Cheng was being interviewed by reporters after the interview channel. But as soon as Jing Ming appeared, the reporters swarmed over.
Jingming still did not accept any interviews and went directly to the garage.
With Dong Cheng passing by, the two looked at each other, and Jing Ming looked away indifferently.
At that moment, he seemed to have seen his ending today.
At eight o’clock, the team set off on time.
Today’s first stage is 20 kilometers away from the starting point and is a wasteland section.
This time, Pengcheng’s car did not grab the first group of races.
Yesterday’s crash, although it looked like Pengcheng’s car technology failed to meet the standards, but there were still a lot of scolds and sarcasm on the Internet, saying “the technology is not enough to touch the porcelain.”
Peng Cheng avoided the limelight and stayed in the second group.
Because of the outstanding performance of primeno.3 yesterday, many teams want to compete with him. AD didn’t grab the first group. Grabbed by Japan, Russia and another US team.
On the wasteland road, the dust was flying, and four cars indulged in the desert.
No.3 once again won the group first.
After the race, the other three teams were very excited and thought that their cars would play better with the strong. Quan Chung came up to exchange ideas with prime, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
During the break adjustment period, Chen Xian called Jingming to report that although there were too many drones at the scene, they had already locked their targets.
Jing Ming ordered to do as originally planned.
Just before putting down the phone, Chen Xian said one more thing: “Sister Yang Yan asked me to tell you, the officials of the organizing committee said that the prime team had not been interviewed. This would not work. We still need to cooperate with the promotion.”
“…” Jing Ming said, “I see.”
He got in the car and watched the live broadcast with the team members.
The second group match is about to begin.
At the starting point of Hohhot, the on-site fans have not yet taken away from the excitement of the first group in Primeno.3, they looked up at the live broadcast of the event on the big screen, looking forward to the second group of games.
At the start of the stage 20 kilometers away from Hohhot, four cars from the second group were ready, and the other eight teams stopped not far away to wait.
Live broadcast technicians and drone operators prepared in their own equipment cars; chartered reporters interviewed and reported in front of the site, and everything went smoothly.
At the moment of ordering, Peng Cheng and three other teams’ cars rushed out of the starting point and into the desert at the same time.
At the same time, between the Pengcheng logistics off-road vehicle and the broadcast equipment vehicle, a drone took off at that time, that is, at this time, a reporter’s interview vehicle suddenly got out of control and accelerated towards the drone!
Before the drone had time to fly high, it immediately got caught in the wheels and was crushed.
Pengcheng’s car also went out in an instant and stopped on the road, leaving three other cars to gallop away.
And at the end of the stage 30 kilometers away, Jing Ming crumbled on his seat, staring at the video broadcast picture-
Pengcheng’s car suddenly stopped.
The commentator was surprised: “Well? We saw an accident at the scene! The Pengcheng team that performed well yesterday didn’t start well today? I don’t know why and stopped.”
Because of something, a drone took a close look at the car,
The commentator went on to explain: “The scene footage was given to the Pengcheng team, I don’t know what happened.”
But I do n’t want to, the approaching camera just happens to be near the starting point—
The accident reporter hurriedly ran down from the car: “I’m sorry I stepped on the throttle as a brake, which broke your drone …”
Several technical controllers in the broadcasting equipment vehicle also jumped down to check the situation for the first time, took a look, the outer shell of the drone was broken, and the contents inside were exposed.
After a while, the technicians were all white and knew that something had happened.
A second later, a roar came from the starting point: “Which team are you from?”
At the same time, someone called: “How come Pengcheng’s car stopped halfway?”
The high-definition camera and radio microphone record it all clearly.
In the live video, the commentator was silent.
Weird silence.
The departure section of Hohhot, 20 kilometers away from the incident, was silent, shocked, and looked at each other.
Soon, the shooting drone quickly left Pengcheng, and no longer shot him. The picture was cut back to the three cars in front.
For a while, a wave of discussion and protest broke out in the audience!
In the live broadcast room, the barrage screen appeared as soon as possible:
“Cheating! Someone cheating!”
“I went, thinking that Pengcheng was awesome. It turned out to be a remote control car!”
But the picture never cut back to the beginning of the stage.
Quiet inside the off-road vehicle,
He Wang said, “What’s going on?”
Jing Ming said, “Wait a minute.”
And back to the beginning of the stage,
At the moment when the technicians roared, the contestants of a dozen teams in the field looked at each other and asked what was going on.
Everyone at the Pengcheng team was ashamed.
Even if the layman is confused, the contestants who are present are all driverless R & D personnel. When I saw the car suddenly stopped near the starting point and the broken drone, I knew everything.
Dong Cheng’s expression was dead, he went up to pretend to be a round, trying to pull the technician aside to clear.
But so many cameras and media reporters at home and abroad gave technicians a courage to dare him. Moreover, the members of the AD team and the French team were very angry, and said loudly that they would report the complaint to the International Unmanned Organizing Committee.
The technician pushed Dong Cheng away and turned to his opponent. “Report to the organizing committee and immediately send an investigation team. Someone cheated!”
Dong Cheng was panicked. He couldn’t even force himself to calm down. He immediately ran back to the car and called Ruifeng’s headquarters. He must find a relationship to keep things down.
But how did this come down? The live video shot by ‘foreign friends’, including the conversation between Dong Cheng and the technicians, and the internal photos of the drone, has quickly spread to the Internet, causing a stir.
Foreign players present also sent emails and evidence to the International Organizing Committee for the first time.
Jing Ming did not sit in the car for a long time, and received news from the staff of the Beijing Organizing Committee: Suspend the game, don’t go forward and stand by.
Du Ruo worry: “Will you hide it from above?”
Jing Ming: “No, maybe the organizers don’t know.”
“What if Pengcheng wants someone to clear up?”
Jingming was funny: “Cheating at home, the international influence is too bad, even if there are ten Ruifeng support, he can’t be saved.”
Moreover, the evidence was sent to the organizing committee of the international competition as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after an hour of waiting in situ, I got the news again: all the teams returned to Huhhot.
“Fuck!” He Wang was furious and shouted, “Come!”
And Du Ruo was a bit worried, looking at Jingming: “Peng Cheng won’t doubt you, right?”
Jing Ming snorted coldly: “Who can blame me for the wrong things I have done?”
“But they are villains. Expect them to know something wrong, is it possible?”
Jing Ming said nothing, looking at the horizon outside the window, the sun had just risen from the field.
When he saw Dong Cheng this morning, he was still very upset. At this moment, he should be anxious to burn the sky and the earth.
Jingming suddenly remembered the words that his father and mother taught him when he was a kid: “No harm to the heart.”
In this case, presumably Dong Cheng’s parents have not taught him.
If Dong Cheng didn’t want to hurt “Weiyi”, and hit it intentionally, why would Jingming be sure that the car was abnormal. Why even other players of the team found the abnormal, everyone cooperated to expose him.
Otherwise, maybe Xu Pengcheng finishes the race and may win an award.
However, Peng Cheng hurts people, but in the end, he hurts himself.
Soon, all people involved in the game returned to the starting point.
Officials of the International Organizing Committee held a press conference in front of the contestants, media reporters and many car fans present, stating the fact that Pengcheng had cheated, and made permanent removal of Pengcheng from all types of unmanned races worldwide punishment.
At the same time, it is guaranteed that other equipment and vehicles will be strictly checked again to ensure that there is no cheating. It will also rapidly upgrade the introduction of higher-end anti-cheating shielding equipment, and welcomes all sectors of society, including contestants, to report suspicious behavior.
Officials of the Beijing Organizing Committee also stated that they would closely cooperate with the International Organizing Committee to continue to investigate the matter in depth, investigate and deal with relevant persons involved, and respond to the society as soon as possible.
This response plan was quick, decisive and effective.
All speculations and doubts on the government were cancelled immediately. Foreign media are very satisfied with this response. And domestic public opinion all turned to the complaint and attack on Peng Cheng, as well as support and hope for prime, the only remaining Chinese team.
The topic of “Pengcheng cheating and shame the country” broke the media, even more than the heat of the first day of the game, more or less, but also promoted the event to a certain extent to let everyone know. . . .
chapter89
All matches on the second match day were cancelled, waiting for the organizing committee to urgently transport the newly upgraded anti-cheating equipment.
As for the first group stage of the first stage that has already been played, the organizer declared the results void after communicating and coordinating with the four participating teams, especially prime, and obtaining agreement.
All participants and vehicles were accidentally given a day off.
The organizer simply sent staff to take the players to the prairie day trip.
They are light and windy, but the tide is already surging.
Within a day, Pengcheng’s investment partners and partners withdrew their capital and technical staff, and cut off cooperation to draw a clear line. The Ministry of Science and Technology has also started a case investigation into Peng Cheng’s misappropriation of special funds.
Even the shares of the parent company Ruifeng Motor immediately fell to the limit.
Prime’s generous act of agreeing to invalidate his performance has won widespread praise.
But this series of follow-up incidents, Jing Ming and they did not pay attention.
Participants from other countries are also peaceful, enjoying the prairie style, riding horses, drinking tea and roasting whole sheep, singing and dancing to watch Mongolian performances, and cheering and laughing.
The grassland people were hospitable and hosted a grand bonfire that night.
For dozens of miles, the Mongolian man and woman with the brightest voices sang Mongolian songs and welcomed guests from afar.
The host finished singing his turn.
At this moment, those foreign contestants who are usually serious and rigorous have all been generous in their release.
The Canadian team sang “Red River Valley”, the two American teams sang “Oh Susana”, the British team sang “London Bridge is going to collapse”, and the Russian team sang “Katyusa”.
As for the home team’s prime team, Jing Ming He Wang Du Ruo and others simply sang with them, singing the Chinese version corresponding to the folk songs of various countries.
Different languages have the same tunes and notes, and the singing voices are in a singular sympathy and tacit understanding that is difficult to describe in words, and they are united in one place, reverberating over the grasslands and drifting toward the endless night.
Overhead, the starry sky on the spring grasslands is ancient and brilliant.
Du Ruo looked up at the sky, could not help but have a big smile on his mouth.
Jing Ming saw it and whispered, “Drinking tea?”
Du Ruoxiao laughed: “Don’t you think that this is the atmosphere that the game should have?”
Jing Ming’s lips cornered: “Who said no?”
She giggled, leaning her head on his shoulder.
Long prairie night, the spring breeze is intoxicated.
Since there was a game the next day, everyone left for the hotel at 9 o’clock.
On the way back, the prime team and the AD team got on the same bus.
The captain of AD, a young man from the United States, was very humorous, and said with a smile that their car was in a jet lag yesterday and was not adapted, which gave prime the limelight. Later games will not give up.
Jing Ming quickly replied: “Okay, you won the first stage, I invite your whole team to eat hot pot.”
The captain was curious: “What is hot pot?”
Jingming: “…”
Du Ruo was very enthusiastic and described them in detail, base, soup pot, side dishes.
The captain heard his eyes widened and became more curious, saying that he would eat if he didn’t take the first stage.
Jingming: “…”
Well, success crooked the floor.
By the next day,
Go to the track at seven in the morning. Early in the morning, the number of fans waiting at the starting point has only increased, almost twice as yesterday. The road was crowded with people on both sides.
Everyone was shouting, for prime, for AD, for France, England, Germany, and cheer for each team.
Fans shouted the slogan “fair competition, technology first” in both Chinese and English.
Participants of all countries were moved for a while.
They cast off the haze of the previous day and set off again.
On the second game day, the cars of the AD team really did well. Today they grabbed the first group and competed with prime. After 30 kilometers, their car won primeno.3 by 3 seconds.
After the first stage of the four groups were all over, the statistical results came out, and AD won the first stage.
Jing Ming met AD team and laughed: “It seems that jet lag is better.”
The other side happily winked at them.
The team continued to move forward and ran for more than 400 kilometers. After the fifth special stage, it was noon.
The morning game can be said to be blooming everywhere.
AD, prime, Russia, England, Germany each took a stage first.
At lunchtime, the logistics group of the organizing committee is uniformly equipped with box lunches.
People are in the wild and the conditions are difficult.
The people sat on the floor.
The sky is high, but don’t have a taste.
Du Ruo chatted with the team members in a good mood, but didn’t eat much. She felt that her stomach was uncomfortable, it might be too tired during this time, or she could not adapt to the Mongolian meal that she ate yesterday.
She had a bad appetite and was pressed for time, so she hurriedly packed up to the next stage.
The convoy continually moved westward, from grassland to desert, and the scenery changed outside the window.
On the golden ground, the vehicles were galloping and the yellow sand was flying.
The stages are more difficult than the others, and the competition is fiercer. The unmanned vehicles and ordinary vehicles that have broken down can be encountered along the way, and technicians are urgently performing repairs. There are also many staff members who can’t stand the bumps on the road and vomit on the way.
This is the cruelty of the rally, testing the endurance of everyone in each car.
In this way, the convoy traversed through different landforms and landscapes, and finally reached the loess high slope.
Five stages in the afternoon, prime took two first. AD, Japan, France each took one.
When we reached the end of the Yinchuan stage, it was already over seven in the evening.
It was completely dark.
At night, the waiting fans shouted to cheer for the team in their hearts.
After passing the interview channel, many people in the team were being interviewed.
Jingming and they stayed this time. This stop, media reporters flocked up.
Du Ruo landed at the end of the team and looked at the team members being interviewed. She did not step forward.
After a tossing day, she was very tired and her mind was a little numb.
She walked through the interview channel alone, waiting for Jingming them at the end.
She stared at Jing Ming from the crowd for an interview. The man’s profile was clear and his expression calm.
Alas, she smiled for no reason.
She lowered her head with a smile and touched her nose. She accidentally moved her eyes to look in the field, and her smile was frozen.
Just now she faintly saw a somewhat familiar figure flashing past and went to the direction of the garage.
That person looked a bit like Guo Hong,
How did he come to Yinchuan?
I read it wrong?
Du Ruo was suspicious and chased after him.
As soon as she ran down, she saw a few sneaky reporters walking towards the garage with photography equipment in the night. The group made a gesture with Guo Hong and then hid behind the security door.
Guo Hong took an instrument in his hand and walked towards primeno.3, which was parked in the garage.
The library was quiet and empty.
Guo Hong quickly slipped to the side of the car, took out the tools from the operating platform on the side, and was about to open the front cover of primeno.3, then he heard angrily, “What are you doing ?!”
There was a ghost in Guo Hong’s heart, and he was shocked. When he looked back, it was Du Ruo, and she was alone, and she was not panic: “Oh, Miss Du.”
Regardless of his joking, Du Ruo stared closely behind him and strode forward: “What’s that?”
Guo Hong quickly took it away, but Du Ruo had come to him and looked at it clearly:
Remote operation terminal.
She froze.
Think of the reporter hiding behind the security door, and instantly understood.
Guo Hong put things in, and after a while prime went down to repair the car, opened the car cover and found foreign objects and took them out, and they would be taken seriously by the reporters they arranged.
Du Ruo was angry and disgusted, reprimanding: “Where did you come from to do this kind of thing!”
When Guo Hong saw the signs exposed, he did not cover up, and scolded: “Peng Cheng’s affairs must have been done by you–“
“It’s Pengcheng himself! If you have a little shame and sense of honor, you should not cheat and cheat at your own home. Now they’re still framing us? Go!” Du Ruo dragged him up. Outside! I want to— “
“Get out of your mother’s bitch!”
Guo Hong pushed hard.
Du Ruo was slammed into the tool rack and hit a metal ping-pong.
“I’ll clean up after I’m done!” He scolded him, and went to drive to cover.
Du Ruo rushed up, grabbed the terminal instrument and slammed **** the ground, smashing into a slump.
“I **** you!” Guo Hong was furious and threw a slap on Du Ruo’s face.
Du Ruo’s head exploded like a heavy hammer, and a person bumped into the car and smashed his belly into the rear-view mirror, causing a sudden pain.
She hugged Wei Yi tightly and almost fainted. She opened her mouth wide, but couldn’t make a sound, her eyes turned red, and her mouth and nose were all bloody.
Guo Hong was furious, and saw that the woman was so slender that she had no power to fight back. She smiled wickedly. The big palm grabbed her neck and pressed her to the front. There was no time for the next move.
Guo Hong turned around.
Jing Ming’s face was iron-blue, and he struck his heart foal. With great strength, Guo Hongfei hit a wall a few meters away, and his expression was distorted in an instant of pain.
Jing Ming didn’t say a word, his body was full of suffocation, his eyes swept across the tool holder, and he raised a hand and pulled out a steel pipe, headed for Guo Hong, and in his eyes was fierce to kill.
Guo Hongzhang stepped back and raised his hand: “Don’t do it, I …”
Du Ruo leaned to the side of the car, panicked and scared, and tried to stand up: “Jingming, I didn’t–“
Jing Ming struck Guo Hong’s head with a stick, and “bang” a crisp and stuffy sound, soaking people.
Du Ruo was shocked, his legs were weak.
Guo Hongyan was bleeding from the head, vomiting blood, and his face was as pale as a dead man.
The first stick hit the wall with some cushioning. Guo Hong can still act, and the desire to survive drove him to crawl away. But he was not badly injured and could escape.
Jing Ming looked coldly, grasping the steel pipe again with his fingers.
Du Ruo burst into tears: “Jingming, don’t do this! Jingming!”
But as if he didn’t hear it, he struck his head with a stick!
“Jingming!” Wan Ziang He Wang who rushed and shouted.
“Jingming!” Du Ruo rushed into his arms and cried, “I’m fine, I’m fine! Jingming, don’t do this! I’m fine!”
He clasped her trembling body in horror, his chest was undulating, his eyes were blood red, and he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to kick him again.
Du Ruo’s fate blocked: “Jingming I …”
Suddenly, a violent colic in her belly struck her, her eyes hurting, and she knelt down along his body.
Jing Ming immediately crouched down and supported her, nervously: “Where are you uncomfortable?”
Du Ruo grasped his arm and opened his mouth, but spit blood on his chest.
She stared blankly, only seeing Jing Ming’s panic-stricken face, her gaze fell completely into darkness.
