Trihardt, who was seated next to Jin, asked him with his eyes wide open.
"They probably used the side thrusters to change direction for propulsion.
"What?
The simple explanation was not clear enough for him, and his voice came back with a question.
"So, Rubina's ship has a water-avoidance ward to reduce the drag?"
"Yes, that would be the case.
"That means, the shape of the ship doesn't really matter. ...... So, we are not changing the direction of the ship, only the direction of travel.
"I see."
"They must have very powerful propulsion units on the side thrusters. ...... No, they don't."
Through the screen, Jin had a rough idea of the number 10.
"It has a very powerful propulsion system, and its jets are open on the sides.
Jin thought that such a structure should have a smaller aspect ratio, but this might be due to Rubina's inexperience.
Nevertheless, it is a little strange to see a long and slender semi-submersible meandering along without changing its attitude. Some spectators began to notice this.
"Hey, that!"
"Yeah, number 10. ......
"......, it's moving a little weird."
If Rubina had heard that, she would have said, "Why? >>The audience murmured what they thought Rubina would say if she heard it.
But the boat is definitely the fastest. It continues to meander without changing direction.
The number 10 boat, which was in the 5th position, quickly overtakes two boats and moves up to the 3rd position.
However, the series of curves ends there.
The next area is a series of short straights and curves.
Because of the higher average speed, sailing with side thrusters is a step behind.
The number 10 is back to normal sailing again.
He is already halfway through the second lap and has about six kilometers to go. At 120 kilometers per hour, it would take only three minutes to complete the lap.
Everyone is making their last spurt.
However, the course is too narrow for them to get through easily.
There is light contact between hulls, but no dangerous collisions or overt obstruction of the course.
This is a fair competition, as seen by the <.
The number 10 boat again took advantage of its semi-submersible status and tried to pull out of the water.
However, all the boats have begun their final spurt and will not let them overtake so easily.
>
A frenzy of excitement envelops the spectators.
The 10 fast boats are racing on the course in an even more intense dead heat.
>> "Arrow, Arrow, Arrow, Arrow, Arrow!
Arrow, Arco, go for it!
Woah, Blitz, Donner, keep up the good work!
Edgar, come on!
The boat builders, too, stared at the screen, their hands sweating.
And then the last straight, four kilometers, and the ten boats were racing.
All the boats are running at full speed, using all the strength they have. Their speed is approaching 150 kilometers per hour.
However, at the end of the straight line is the final corner, a 50R hairpin curve.
If they fail to make the turn, they may crash into the quay.
However, all the boats do not seem to slow down.
The final corner is almost upon us.
The first boat, number 1, has slowed down slightly and is just barely making the turn.
But the second placed car, number 3, seems to be determined to win the race, and drives into the corner without slowing down at all.
>
The car was going to be able to keep up with the leader, number 1, by cornering without slowing down, but halfway around the corner, the car couldn't withstand the centrifugal force and went into a wide turn.
<>
Zecken3 skids towards the rock wall.
>
Ludwig slides his body between the rock wall and the ship and catches ZEK 3, who was about to crash into the rock wall.
<<< Brilliant! The number 3 is safe! >>
Ludwig again boarded the boat, but this accident dropped him down to 6th place. He was overtaken by the next boat. The speed of the boat has dropped drastically.
On the other hand, the remaining boats slowed down slightly and cleared the final corner without any danger.
Only 200 meters remain to the goal.
The boat is now only 200 meters away from the finish line.
"Go, Donner!
Rubina shouted.
Perhaps she heard the shout, or perhaps they had already arranged it, and Donner, the assistant golem, emerges from the hull of the number 10 boat.
"What? What are you doing?"
Jin had no idea what he was going to do here. But he would soon find out.

>> Donner gave more acceleration to the hull by kicking it out. Naturally, he will fall into the water.
However, number 10, who had been running in 4th place, is now lighter by Donner's weight, and the momentum of the kick has propelled him into 3rd place. .......
<<<1st place goes to number 1, and 2nd place goes to the amazing number 10! Number 2 was in 3rd place and number 5 in 4th place!
Natalia, number 1, who was in the lead from the start, won the race.
Natalia, who was in the lead from the start and kept going from start to finish, won the race with her number 1 car. Rubina, with her quirky design and strategy, came in second place.
Third place went to Shu Nido in number 2, fourth to Shireen Eschenbach in number 5, fifth to Greenina Kuzma in number 4, and sixth to Eugene Eugene in number 3, In sixth place, number 3 Eugene Fowle.
In seventh place, number 9 Elvis Alcott, number 8 Florence Fahlheit.
In ninth place was number 7 Werner Randle, and number 6 Sidney Marek in tenth.
There was a slight dispute among the jury about the eccentricity of the number 10 just before the finish, but it was concluded that it was not against the rules.
The judges were not in violation of the rules.
Mr. Jin is giving a speech.
The audience cheers loudly.

Jin looked around at everyone assembled and continued.

Natalia was then presented with the trophy by the hand of Jin.
