Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1639 - 1636: Eating Dust

Little Ya’s explanation already touches on the topic of aerodynamics, Lin Tian casually explained: "Aerodynamics in cars isn’t as complex as it is in airplanes. The main core issue is air resistance, which is related to the drag coefficient."

"Currently, the drag coefficient of civilian mass-produced cars generally ranges from 0.28 to 0.40, which reflects the size of air resistance; the two are directly proportional. People who pay attention to F1 Formula 1 racing might know that the drag coefficient of F1 cars is much higher than that of civilian mass-produced cars."

"Its drag coefficient is around 0.70 to 1.1, with some even reaching as high as 1.3. Why is the drag coefficient of F1 cars so high? This goes back to Little Ya’s earlier question. Due to the extremely high speed of racing cars, to ensure the four-wheel grip, greater downforce needs to be obtained from air resistance to keep the wheels firmly glued to the ground, so as not to lose control at high speeds."

"As for how to obtain downforce from air resistance, this involves the body structure problem, which would be too far off. Back to the issue of street racing earlier, people who race generally love to modify cars, but most modifications are very amateurish."

"Many people like to install spoilers and other aerodynamic kits on sports cars to improve air resistance and enhance handling and performance."

"Actually, this seems quite laughable because real professional modifications must undergo wind tunnel laboratory tests. Nowadays, every major racing team in the world has its own wind tunnel laboratory, each valued at tens of millions of US dollars, along with specialized aerodynamics engineers and computer analysis systems."

"You know why the underground racing tribes don’t dare hit the track, right? Compared to these professionals, they are like clueless toddlers."

Lin Tian talked eloquently, leaving everyone dumbfounded, with eyes wide open. They were all top students in science and engineering; they understood these professional topics, and precisely because they understood, they were amazed at Lin Tian’s knowledge.

Xiao Manxuan knew Lin Tian well. Beneath Lin Tian’s seemingly unruly appearance was a core full of arrogance, and this arrogance wasn’t just a facade. Knowledge, strength, and skills are the pillars that support arrogance.

There’s a saying that goes well: those with strength being boastful are called awesome, those without strength being boastful are called stupid.

He Xiaofei, who has seen a lot, also remarked at this moment: "I often like explaining this and that to you, but now it seems that in front of you, it’s just displaying one’s slight skill before an expert."

"Class Leader He, don’t be modest; boys and girls focus on different areas; boys tend to focus on military, weapons, economy, cars, technology, and games, etc. Everyone has their own strengths." Lin Tian replied, unconcerned.

"Anyway, I feel it’s a waste for Brother Lin not to study engineering," Qiao Xiaoyi said.

Lin Tian just smiled without replying; back then, Jiang Xiu Ying also said it was a waste not to study medicine, Elder Zhou said it was a waste not to study jewelry. If one has to study everything one is adept at, then one needs the Clone Technique of an Immortal.

The car finally left the urban area, and mountains started to appear in front, with the road not as clean as it was inside the city.

"Brother Lin, is that car behind us Zhao Weitao and his crew?" Qiao Xiaoyi pointed at the rearview mirror and suddenly said.

Xiao Manxuan and the others also got up to look back. Sure enough, they saw a red Ferrari rapidly approaching; the convertible design was the most striking.

"That’s right, it’s their car," Xiao Manxuan said, feeling quite unhappy because the dangerous driving earlier made everyone nervous.

The people in the car behind also spotted Lin Tian’s car. Liu Yuansi said excitedly, "Brother Zhao, we finally caught up."

"Do you want to catch up?" Xiao Na and Little Ya also asked, only without the previous confidence; having just been left in the dust, where would they dare to be cocky now?

Zhao Weitao accelerated with a cold face, quickly catching up. But this time he did not immediately overtake, instead staying behind Lin Tian’s car, seemingly waiting for the right moment.

"Mr. Lin, we’ve spotted the red Ferrari just now, should we leave them behind?" Little Ya suddenly asked Lin Tian.

The vehicle is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic camera, radar detection waves, infrared recognition; all these are hidden and can provide all road conditions for the AI Little Ya because it is inherently capable of autonomous driving.

Lin Tian showed a hint of an amused smile in his eyes and said lightly, "No need to leave them behind, don’t they like convertibles? Let me show them how flashy a convertible can be."

"What are you going to do?" He Xiaofei asked cautiously. She now realizes that when Lin Tian goes wild, it’s quite thrilling. It’s just that too much thrill can be hard on the heart.

Mu Binglan glanced outside the car, also showing a satisfied grin as if she already guessed what Lin Tian was going to do.

Lin Tian didn’t do anything exciting, just lightly steered the wheel, driving to the side as if making way for the Ferrari behind.

Zhao Weitao and the others were taken aback by Lin Tian’s behavior; Xiao Na was surprised: "He can’t have had a change of heart, right? Actually making way for us?"

They were still puzzled, and Zhao Weitao was hesitating whether to pass. But in the next second, they had no time to consider.

Because they had already left the city area, the road wasn’t very clean, and there was quite a bit of dust on the roadside. As Lin Tian drove to the side, the ground dust instantly lifted, and rolling clouds of dust began drifting backward.

As the Ferrari was a convertible, within seconds, the dust blew inside the car, catching everyone off guard. They inhaled a mouthful of dust, with their shiny clothes and hairstyles covered in a layer of yellow dust, as disheveled as can be.

"Lin Tian, you’re too much!" Zhao Weitao, having suffered, couldn’t guess Lin Tian’s intention, and began cursing regardless of his image.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he inhaled another mouthful of dust, forcing Zhao Weitao to shut up, hurriedly raising the car’s roof. Once the roof was up, it isolated the dust, but everyone and the beautiful car interior were covered in a lot of dust.

"Brother Zhao, they are bullying us too much," Xiao Na and Little Ya wiped the dust off their mouths and complained tearfully, but they didn’t think about how they had just humiliated others.

Zhao Weitao said nothing, with an even grimmer face. Now they didn’t dare to overtake, leaving them to eat dust at the back. Initially, they flaunted the convertible to show off, but instead, they ate dust.

"Hahaha..." Laughter burst from Lin Tian’s car, the girls all laughed, while Qiao Xiaoyi, the honest man, helplessly smiled bitterly, seemingly thinking that revenge isn’t the right approach.

Lin Tian wouldn’t heed him. This guy is too kind-hearted; even after nearly being hit by a car, he speaks well of the other party. In that realm, Lin Tian could only sigh in admiration.

If others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them; if others offend me, I’ll repay it threefold. This is Lin Tian’s principle. Confucius said, repay a grievance with virtue, how to treat virtue? Even Confucius did not advocate repaying grievances with virtue.

Kindness should not be endless tolerance!
