"Yes, Mr. Xia."
Feng Manxue went to make arrangements immediately. In the next few days, the technician from Italy arrived. Xia Yu took him to the museum on the second floor of the company. The old man said he was scared again.
"This, the cars here are worth hundreds of millions of euros, right?"
"About that, but the point is this F2002. I spent over $7 million to buy it at Pebble Beach, and I'm prepared to spend $10 million to bring it back to life."
As one of the most expensive sports in the world, F1 is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even if it is just an old car, Xia Yu has to be prepared for budget overruns.
"That's enough. I'll make it as good as new."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, the two of them pushed the cart up to the third floor.
F1 cars do not have ignition keys or starters, and cannot be started with one button like supercars. When not started, they are mostly pushed directly.
When he reached the third floor, the old man was surprised again by Xia Yu’s luxurious repair and maintenance workshop. Are all Chinese people so rich?
I'm not sure about Xia Yu. He's just willing to spend money. Other wealthy people wouldn't spend their money on this.
"This car was previously restored by my colleague Oliver. The previous owner had just acquired it at that time, but he quickly forgot about it. Now it is in a bit of a bad state and many things need to be replaced."
The old technician was muttering to himself while dismantling the car, and Xia Yu helped him. Money can solve the problem, and learning on your own is also quite fun.
"Look, the entire brake system needs to be replaced. Besides the tires, it has the highest wear rate."
"I remember I ordered five sets. That should be enough to last for a while, right?"
Now that you've bought the car, why are you reluctant to sell the easily damaged parts? Besides, these parts are definitely easier to preserve than rubber products, so there's no harm in stocking up a little more.
"That's definitely enough. Rich people like you can't train as hard as F1 drivers. Safety is more important than speed."
The old man continued to mutter, but what he said was wrong. As a man with cheats, Xia Yu valued speed over safety, because there was no way his safety would be a problem.
It took the two of them half a week to completely rebuild the car. During the serious learning process, Xia Yu even developed an F1 repair and maintenance buff.
Under the buff state, not to mention the old man's strength that he has accumulated for half a lifetime, he can still deal with some minor problems. If that doesn't work, he can just replace the parts or the entire system. Anyway, he has stockpiled a lot.
Looking at the reborn F2002, Xia Yu still feels a sense of accomplishment. Now he just has to wait for the tires to arrive and he can rewrite his past glory.
"We're expecting to wait until mid-January?"
After making several phone calls to urge them, they finally confirmed that it would be restored in mid-January. Anyway, even if the tires arrived at this time, he would not have time to go to the track for racing because New Year's Day was approaching.
After giving the old Italian man a big red envelope, Xia Yu asked Lao Xu to take him to the airport, and he took his luggage to the company rooftop. Not long after, the sound of a helicopter was heard, and a Bell 430 was seen coming from the sky.
Today is the 27th. He plans to go home and stay for two days. On the morning of New Year's Day, he will take his parents to their new home.
The Parachute plane slowly landed on the tarmac. This time, Xia Yu opened the rear door and only threw the luggage up. No one got on, but the pilot on the other side came down instead.
Xia Yu shook hands with him, watched him go downstairs and leave, then got into the driver's seat.
This time he planned to fly the helicopter back himself, so he didn't need a pilot. He just needed help to fly the helicopter over, saving him from having to go to the aviation company again.
After getting on the helicopter, Xia Yu was not in a hurry to take off. Instead, he took out a USB flash drive with the Umbrella logo printed on it from his trouser pocket, and found an adapter cable from the storage box and connected it to the helicopter.
"Buzz~~"
The two display screens went black in an instant, and then a large umbrella logo appeared. Xia Yu tapped a few times to set the destination. Without even holding the joystick, the helicopter automatically took off and flew towards Jinyang according to the route.
Since it is a special Umbrella plane, it must use Umbrella's automatic flight control system. Xia Yu was not idle when he was at the Hive Base. He found the helicopter hangar and copied the system. As the highest commander of the base, he also has this authority.
Now, his pirated Bell 430 has been officially licensed, which saves him a lot of trouble. It only took less than an hour and he was free to intervene in the entire process.
Lin Shuqin and Old Xia didn't know that Xia Yu had played all the way home. They only knew that their son would be back today, so they prepared to kill chickens and ducks so that they could cook them when Xia Yu arrived.
Xia Yu didn't know whether he was touched or not, because he was the one who cooked.
The long mountain range of Maoshan appeared before our eyes. The Bell 430 automatically descended in altitude and landed precisely on the helipad at the foot of the mountain.
Awesome!
If this unmanned flight control system could be modified and used on electric vehicles, Xia Yu felt that he could compete with Tesla. Unfortunately, he doesn't make cars, he only makes batteries, which can be a bottleneck from the source.
"Are you back?"
"Um!"
As soon as Xia Yu got off the plane, he saw Old Xia and greeted his father.
"How did you feel about going to Magnesium this time?"
"The high-tech enterprises are quite advanced, but I don't feel much about the others."
When Old Xia asked about the inspection, Xia Yu talked about his feelings.
The skyscrapers in Magnesium may not be as beautiful as those in China. Leading technology is the foundation of their development, and this is what Chinese people should envy and catch up with. The convenience of life in other aspects is not as good as in China!
