As long as his speed was asured in kiloters per hour,
it would be impossible for him to catch up with anyone.
Fortunately, the National Day holiday event had removed the upper limit for vehicle enhancent, giving him the perfect opportunity to give his vehicle a significant boost.
After opening the modification panel, he quickly found what he was looking for.
"Modification Options": Supersonic Nitrogen Injection Cylinder.
"Modification Effect": Add one to increase your vehicle's maximum speed by 100km/hour.
"Modification Price": 20,000 Points.
"Modification Restriction": A maximum of 100 can be added to a single vehicle.
The initial speed of the sleigh was 300km/hour, and in his last modification, he had added 15 Supersonic Helium Jet Tubes to the end of the sleigh, bringing its top speed to 1800km/hour.
That was roughly around 1.4 Mach.
1 Mach is equivalent to the speed of sound, which is 1225.09km/hour.
Chen Yi's chanical Moose Christmas Sleigh could now reach a top speed of 1.4 Mach, which was barely adequate for Blue Star, but those damned TV station interview vehicles on Aweso Starfield had already reached speeds close to 30 Mach.
That's absolutely preposterous!
Enhance!
The more he thought about it, the angrier Chen Yi got, so without a second thought, he rolled up his sleeves and spent 1 million Points in a flash.
"Ding, player Chen Yi has spent 1 million Points to purchase 50 Supersonic Helium Jet Tubes for the modification of the chanical Moose Christmas Sleigh."
The allure of money was unparalleled.
After splurging 1 million Points, the maximum speed of the chanical Moose Christmas Sleigh shot up to 6,800km/hour, or roughly 5.5 Mach.
And such a commotion naturally drew Tuberculosis Rabbit and others over.
...
"Yi..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, holding a skewer of unfinished tendon, walked up to where Chen Yi stood on the rooftop, looking at the sleigh, which now seed to have a rear-end collision with nurous rockets, and spoke with so astonishnt.
"50 Helium Tubes?"
"Aren't there stronger Helium Jet Tubes in the enhancent shop? Do you have to resort to this thod of a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change?"
He naturally knew what Yi was up to - enhancing the speed of the sleigh was quite normal, as on Aweso Starfield, the shortcomings of their vehicle had beco apparent. Going to Sky City ant renting a car, which was not only inconvenient but also ti-consuming.
It was indeed ti for the vehicle to be enhanced.
But...
The modified sleigh was just too ugly; a full 65 Helium Jet Tubes were attached to the back of the sleigh. The sleigh, which could only fit around six or seven people and wasn't a particularly large vehicle, now looked like a peacock about to fan its feathers!
The Helium Jet Tubes, like rocket munitions, were attached to the rear of the sleigh.
Chen Yi ignored the reactions of Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others, frowning slightly with dissatisfaction. A speed of less than 6 Mach was too slow; not to ntion Aweso Starfield, even before the upgrade ga arrived, many Blue Star aircraft could reach this speed.
Far from enough.
Originally, a chanical Elk could only add up to 100 Helium Jet Tubes, which ant a maximum speed of about 10 Mach. But the restriction had been lifted just for this National Day holiday.
That made the speed of the chanical Elk limitless; theoretically, as long as one had enough Points, even the speed of light wouldn't be an issue.
Of course.
Whether the chanical Elk could withstand disintegration at the speed of light was another matter.
Chen Yi glanced at his Points Balance of 51.28 million.
Without a mont's hesitation,
he made a sweeping gesture!
"Ding, player Chen Yi has spent 20 million Points to purchase 1,000 Supersonic Helium Jet Tubes for the modification of the chanical Moose Christmas Sleigh."
After investing 20 million Points, the sleigh underwent a drastic transformation!
And the speed began to soar dramatically.
It reached 106,800km/hour, which is 87.17 Mach!
Bear in mind that 23.5 Mach is sufficient to break out of Blue Star's atmosphere, making 87.17 Mach the fastest speed ever recorded for an aircraft on Blue Star, though this comparison does not include certain space-bound and nuclear-powered technologies.
"Not bad."
Looking at the speed limit of the sleigh, Chen Yi nodded in slight satisfaction. A speed of 87 Mach was remarkably soothing to his spirit. Although it cost 20 million Points, weren't Points ant to be spent?
Moreover, he had learned from Li Yi that vehicle enhancent costs during the Newbie Protection Period were much cheaper, a benefit for newcors. Once the Newbie Protection Period was over, the costs would skyrocket, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of these discounts.
"..."
And at this mont—
Tuberculosis Rabbit stood in place, his body rigid with shock and confusion, his mouth slowly gaping at the sight of the sleigh, at a loss for words!
A whopping 1065 Helium Acceleration Tubes were attached to the sleigh. What did that an?
He was last this flabbergasted upon discovering a cinematic learning experience that promised an enlightening teacher-student dialogue on a specific website. He had patiently awaited the plot to deepen his imrsion, ready to learn, and then silently absorbed 30 minutes of calculus.
Until the movie ended, the teacher remained as responsible as a model citizen, never stepping out of bounds.
The sleigh was now nearly 400 ters long in its entirety.
The original carriage of the sleigh took up about 5 ters, with the remaining 395 ters occupied by the Helium Acceleration Tubes.
As there was no room for them on the sleigh's rear, they were instead attached to other Helium Acceleration Tubes, continuing down the line, resembling a giant Nine-section Whip.
