?
"So what if we upgrade, it's already too late now."
The wish was not fulfilled. Tony Stark curled his lips in displeasure.
Even if it is upgraded, Lee Stein's Bumblebee is limited by energy, and the most it can do is install a conventional chemical Rocket thruster. It can't be compared with his current car. What he installed on it is the arc plasma thruster of Mark Armor.
And even if Bumblebee really had a thruster similar to this, it would be useless.
In order to ensure the stability of the car body during acceleration, when the car just starts, it must accelerate normally for a period of time before turning on the thruster. Now it is obvious that the acceleration time set by Lee Stein on Bumblebee is longer than his - they have agreed that this time is to compare with the car's performance and automatic driving, and manual intervention is not allowed.
His car accelerated before Bumblebee. Even if it was only a few tenths of a second, it would be enough to cover a considerable distance. As long as Bumblebee was blocked in front, it would be impossible to overtake.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Li Si glanced at Tony Stark with a smile.
At the same time, Bumblebee also began to accelerate, and two faint blue ion streams emerged directly from the back of the car.
In response to Tony Stark's strong request, he also modified Bumblebee, and Ion Thruster was naturally added.
The normal speeds of the two cars are actually about the same, so the set acceleration time is not much different. It's just that in order to maintain the best stability, he set it a little later than the Tony Stark car.
"Wow!"
Seeing these two flashes of fire, the Bumblebee supporting party, which was originally disappointed because Bumblebee was lagging behind, suddenly became excited. Nearly half of the people stood up involuntarily and started cheering.
The Formula 1 Championship is a sport with a very high technology content, so most of the people who come to watch it are technology fanatics and car fanatics.
Facing this advanced racing competition that only existed in science fiction scenes, they were already so excited that many of them had even forgotten who they wanted to support. They just enjoyed the eye-popping speed competition between the two and sincerely cheered and cheered for both parties.
"Is this... a small reactor?"
Tony Stark took a careful look at the tail flames behind the Bumblebee car body, and then turned his head to Li Si with a look of shock.
His car had a leading advantage. Although Bumblebee used the Rocket thruster to catch up again, his newly written automatic driving program had already responded and started to move forward in a zigzag, so he was not too worried about being overtaken.
What really shocked him was the tail flame ejected from the tail of Bumblebee.
He couldn't mistake it, it was plasma flow!
The one mounted on Bumblebee was not the chemical Rocket thruster he had guessed before, but the Ion Thruster, which was similar to the one on his armor.
If Ion Thruster wants to be put into use, the most basic thing is to have a huge energy supply, but now it appears on a sports car.
This means that Lee Stein has at least mastered a miniaturized nuclear energy technology. Only nuclear energy can provide such a huge amount of energy in a small size.
"Yes, it is indeed a small reactor, and it is also a miniaturized Arc Reactor."
Li Si admitted shamelessly and said with a smile:
"I told you a long time ago that I can make this piece of shit with just one look, but you still don't believe it. Now you know how heavy my favor is. I had to hold it in very hard during the hearing~"
When he said the last sentence, Li Si looked up at the sky as if he were a master, and let out a long sigh.
"..."
Tony Stark's mentality exploded instantly.
It was a good thing that Li Si didn't mention this. Only then did he remember that at the hearing, he had vowed that no one would be able to build a small reactor and Iron Man Armor within five years.
This slap in the face is so fast, it's only been a few days, okay!
It's hard to lose weight, it's hard to lose weight with mushrooms!
I'm so angry!
"It's useless even if you have Ion Thruster, you're definitely going to lose now."
In the end, Tony Stark could only say this angrily, with an expression as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
Moreover, this fly has just had a meal, and its meal is still placed next to him, exuding an aggressive smell, reminding him all the time - you ate a fly~, you ate a fly that just had a meal~, you just had a meal~
"There are at least seventy laps to go now, why are you so anxious?"
Li Si retracted his ironic "squinting gaze" with satisfaction.
The lap length of Monaco's Monte Carlo Circuit is 367 kilometers. The competition between the two is based on a regular F1 event. They have to run a full 78 laps. It's just the beginning.
Of course, at the speed of these two cars at this time, it wouldn't take long.
After all, both cars are autonomous driving, so there is no need to worry about issues such as reaction speed. All you need to do is keep driving forward. Moreover, both cars are Ion Thruster, which are so fast that they almost leave an afterimage. If they were not worried about the instability of the chassis, they would probably fly even faster.
Five laps... ten laps...
Twenty laps... fifty laps...
Both cars are full of black technology. They can handle corners without slowing down much, and they don't even need to stop to change tires. They race wildly amidst the cheers of the audience, and one drifts faster than the other.
However, Tony Stark's car's Z-shaped movement strategy was obviously very successful. Bumblebee tried countless times but failed to find an opportunity to overtake.
"Bumblebee, come on! Bumblebee, come on!"
"Bumblebee, you are the fattest! Kill Stark!"
"Overtaking! Lee Stein What are you afraid of? It's remote control anyway, so you can just bump into it. If you just brush it at this speed, it will overturn!"
"Didn't you say that Bumblebee has missiles? Launch them!"
As the number of laps decreased little by little, there were only shouts for Bumblebee left in the audience.
Not only because Bumblebee is temporarily lagging behind, but also because... emmm, Tony Stark didn't give his car a catchy name, and the audience didn't know what to shout if they wanted to cheer.
Of course, there are also many people who are just watching the excitement and don't mind the trouble, and deliberately want to see Bumblebee causing trouble.
But, hum, it's just wishful thinking. Am I, Li Si, the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules and makes trouble?
Uh... it's true.
"What's your expression? You don't really want to hit the car with missiles, do you?"
Seeing the dangerous look in Li Si's eyes, Tony Stark felt butterflies in his heart and couldn't help but said, "We have agreed that the performance is only better than the car. If you don't abide by the rules, don't blame me for taking action."
"Tch, am I, Lee Stein, that kind of person?"
Li Si curled his lips in disdain and said, "Relax your mind. I, Lee Stein, have made it clear that it is better than autonomous driving. I can't interfere even if I want to launch missiles now."
