"Are these all tanks from World War II?"
"Except for this Leopard 2A6, which was given to me by old Larry because he couldn't play with it anymore, my collection mainly focuses on World War II."
In response to his friend's question, Xia Yu pointed to a relatively modern main battle tank and said.
"That's pretty impressive, isn't it? Any of these tanks would cost as much as a supercar."
Ji Yang has never played with tanks, but he has a certain understanding of the circle of wealthy military fans.
"Well, it's still cheap."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he led Ji Yang to the second floor of the museum, where his supercar and classic car were parked.
"I saw a Bugatti 57SC Atlantic. I was wondering where this car was. It turns out you bought the brand exhibition hall when you bought the Bugatti."
Ji Yang said with some exaggeration.
The entire second floor is larger than the building in Xintiandi. At a glance, it is filled with all kinds of luxury cars, which shocked him more than the tanks downstairs.
By the way, speaking of downstairs, this building seems to have three floors. Could the upstairs also be...
"If you want to know, just go up and take a look. You'll definitely like it if you see it."
Xia Yu showed a devilish smile. Ji Yang was a little tempted, but his instinct told him that something was wrong, until the two of them came to the third floor together again.
“Hiss~~”
Ji Yang took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
"Since you're here, it's a good opportunity to take a look at my collection."
Xia Yu put his arm around Ji Yang's shoulders and led him towards the group of aircraft in front.
"Look, this is the newly arrived F4 Phantom. Don't be fooled by its ugly appearance. Back then, it could fly at speeds exceeding Mach 2. If the engine were improved, it could even reach Mach 3."
Ji Yang's smile at this moment was uglier than crying, because this Phantom was a two-seater.
"Don't worry, we're here for racing, flying isn't the main point, but you really..."
"No, the racing is good, I love that track."
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Ji Yang waved his hands quickly.
"But the money you spent on collecting these planes must be no less than the tanks on the first floor, right?"
"It's okay. Propeller ones are cheaper. Jet ones are a little more expensive, but they're a little more difficult to get."
For example, Xia Yu likes the F14 Big Cat very much, the same model in the movie "Top Gun". Unfortunately, after it was retired, it was cut into pieces, and not a single part was left to a country in the Middle East. There is no place to buy it second-hand.
"So you can fly all these planes?"
"I can drive a little, but I don't have a license. If I don't know how to drive, I've hired a professional pilot, and my dad and I can learn from him."
"That's awesome! Uncle can even fly a fighter jet. He's not afraid of heights like my dad and I are."
Ji Yang couldn't help but admire.
He had met Comrade Lao Xia before, but he didn't expect that Lao Xia looked so low-key and was actually an "ace pilot".
"It's okay. They haven't released any solos yet. I can learn from them until next year."
Xia Yu spoke modestly on behalf of his father.
"You still have to rely on me. I have perfect control over the system here. If you like, pick any one and I'll take you for a ride. The L-39CL we flew in Europe last time couldn't even go supersonic, so it wasn't fun at all."
"No, we're here to race. We'll talk about this later."
Ji Yang decisively admitted defeat. His fear of heights was cured, but it would be difficult for people who are not afraid of heights to sit in a fighter jet. Wouldn't it be better to just fly close to the ground?
"That's fine, you can still use your car?"
Xia Yu didn't force himself, having fun was the most important thing.
"Of course, but you have so many good cars here, I want to give it a try."
The two returned to the second floor. To be honest, Ji Yang felt more relaxed here.
"You can take your pick, every car here can go straight to the track."
Xia Yu said generously.
"Hey, are those F1 cars?"
Ji Yang pointed to the right and said.
Xia Yu previously collected a Ferrari F2002 and a Mercedes-Benz W08. Later, he acquired a McLaren MP4-8A, a Renault R27, a Williams-Renault FW15B, and a Ferrari F2001.
There are several championship cars here, and they are all old cars with large displacement, so the playability is quite high.
"Want to play? It's just that these old guys are hard to control."
Xia Yu had bought it and used it before, so naturally there was no problem with the control with his skills. However, Ji Yang was only an amateur, and he might not even get a ranking in GP2, let alone F1.
"Then we have to try it. We are not competing with those professional drivers."
After seeing so many good cars, Ji Yang is now very competitive and wants to regain his face in racing.
Unfortunately, this is just a delusion after all.
Before he had even finished a lap, he was left behind by Xia Yu, and the championship bonus of the championship car had no effect at all.
"I'm so angry, I feel like a piece of trash!"
Ji Yang took off his helmet and couldn't help but say.
"Participation is the most important thing. It's hard to get good results without spending time. I circle and brush more."
With his own track and his own car, Xia Yu was able to lap the track at a rapid pace and his skills also improved.
After someone comforted him, Ji Yang calmed down.
That's right. It's a friendly match between friends. If you win, you have to treat the other party to a meal. It's not like if you lose, you can eat and drink for free.
At noon, on the rooftop platform of the main fort, two awnings cast a large shadow, and Xia Yu and Ji Yang were enjoying their lunch below.
"Old Xia, with such a big port like yours, you haven't thought about buying a yacht or something. My dad didn't buy one because he was seasick, otherwise he would have gotten one too."
The main fort is located at the commanding height of the island. Ji Yang can easily see the port in the distance, which is now empty.
