At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Boeing 737 that Yili and Xie Cheng took finally arrived at San Francisco International Airport.
"Let's go!" After getting off the plane, the two rushed to the parking lot!
They have no time to think about how far behind the first team, they just want to try their best to catch up with the vanguard!
As for the fact that the previous flight stopped temporarily in San Salvador, they were actually the first team, and the two didn't know it yet.However, whether they know it or not, their fighting spirit remains the same!
Champions, only champions can make their efforts meaningful!
The two soon came to the parking lot, and saw the three sponsor cars parked side by side, as well as the yellow and yellow clue cards in front of the windshield of each car, they couldn't help being startled.
"We were the first to arrive?!"
"Ario and the others haven't arrived yet?!"
The two said in unison, and then showed surprise and restrained smiles.
No matter what, it's always good to be ahead.
"Maybe it's late." Xie Cheng guessed.
"Maybe." Eli nodded.
"Look at the clue card first." Xie Cheng said.
"Okay." Yili picked out a car, opened the clue card on the front window and said, "Detour: decoration or transportation?"
Xie Cheng frowned.
Another general reminder.
The two choices seemed clear, but in fact nothing was said at all.
What to decorate, how to decorate, what to transport and how to transport, this is the key to this task.
"Why don't we just transport it?" Yili suggested - in the case of insufficient information, it is impossible to conduct any effective analysis, and we can only rely on our feelings.Compared with the decoration, which may require slow work and meticulous work, the transportation task should be simpler, and it may be the physical task in this detour task.
"Okay." Xie Cheng had no objection.
"Transportation: The team will go to the San Francisco train station, find the railroad office, and assist the crew to install a new car."
Yili turned over the clue card and read out the mission description of the transportation mission.
"It doesn't sound difficult." Xie Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and opened the car door, "Shall I drive?"
"Okay." Yi nodded, and then got into the co-pilot.
Compared with those countries where they are unfamiliar and have a language barrier, the two returned to the United States feel much more at ease.
But for Yili, the country that is far away across the ocean is the most relaxing thing for her. Even if she doesn’t do anything, just being in the middle of the bustling city and listening to the familiar Chinese words in the flow of people is enough to make her feel warm and happy. kind.
In order to be able to go home one day, they will definitely do their best this time, even if they use any means!
"Hello, we want to complete a mission here." Following the instructions on the map, the two quickly arrived at the San Francisco Railway Station. After parking the car, they followed the instructions on the clue card and found the staff of the railway office. The other party asked, "Do you know where we are going to load the carriages?"
"Come with me." The fat black man with a bunch of big keys hanging from his waist grinned at the two of them.
"Thank you!" The two hurriedly followed. Actions according to the instructions of the clue card did not count as a violation of the prohibition on leading the way, just like when they were in Brazil, it was acquiesced to have a butler guide them in the manor.
When Yi Li and Xie Cheng rushed to their mission location, two other planes from Houston and Panama also arrived at San Francisco Airport.
The Dunphys and the black brothers got off the plane almost one after the other and hurried to the parking lot.
"Detour: decoration or transportation, which one should we choose?" Claire read out the hint on the clue card.
"Let's decorate, I'm good at this!" Mr. Deng Fei patted his chest and said, the decoration of the home was done by him.
"I have no objection." Claire nodded and got into the car.
"Bruno, which one should we do?" Ario discussed with Bruno after reading the clue card.
"How about doing transportation? We have great strength!" Bruno gave a very practical reason.
"Okay!" Ario readily agreed.
The two teams also rushed to their respective mission locations.
At the same time, Yili and Xie Cheng had followed the man for nearly 10 minutes, but they couldn't see the shadow of the carriage, so they couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Excuse me, are you going this way? Why haven't we come?" Yili couldn't help asking.
"Ah!" The other party turned a corner and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "The road is being built here, we have to go back."
"What?" Xie Cheng also frowned, walked over, and saw the dusty construction road over there at a glance.
"That's it, let's go, there is another way." The other party spread his hands needlessly, and took the lead to walk back.
"..." Is this playing with them?Yi Li and Xie Cheng looked at each other. Is it possible that the people who have been working nearby don't know that they are building roads?Well, it's not impossible, but the attitude of the other party is really too subtle.
The two intuitively thought that the other party might have done this on purpose, just to cause them some trouble. As for the reason...
Maybe the other party has a bad personality and likes to make things difficult for others, or it may be that the other party simply dislikes them and hates them, so they want to trip them up, which may even rise to the level of discrimination.
After all, in this national melting pot, there are too many kinds of discrimination, and the most common one is racial discrimination.
In many cases, only white people discriminate against black people will be taken seriously, while white people discriminate against yellow people, black people discriminate against yellow people, black people discriminate against white people, and other people of color discriminate against each other.Maybe they thought too much, maybe, this is the real reason...
However, for both of them, the most important thing is the completely present task.If the other party continues to take them around and affect their progress, that is the worst thing.The two of them couldn't make up their minds for a while, whether to have a brief talk with each other, the consequence of this might be tearing apart, or they could think of other ways...
Noticing the seriousness on the faces of the two, the fat man who was walking in front quietly curled the corners of his mouth, showing a hint of a smile.
He didn't dare to really do anything bad to them. After all, the camera was still filming nearby, and he didn't want to do anything blatantly. He just wanted to add some confusion to them. It would be better if they let them miss the victory--as for the end He didn't care much about whether the winner was the other white group or the black group. Anyway, he was very satisfied if he got two or two.
"Hello." It was impossible for the two of them to sit still. When they walked back to the station, Yili saw a staff member in a railway uniform. She stopped decisively and asked him, "Do you know where the train carriage is?" Install it?"
"Installing the carriages? Go over there, turn a corner, go around and you will see that the new carriages are loaded and unloaded there, and then connected at the end of the train." The other party instructed straightforwardly.
"Okay, thank you!" After confirming that they were going in the right direction this time, Yi Li quickly thanked the other party, and the other party waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing, and he would continue to work.
Seeing that Yili asked for directions, the fat man who led the way looked a bit unhappy, but he didn't say much, just hummed lightly, and stood where he was, waiting for the two of them to finish their questioning before continuing to walk—to cheat them once That's enough, he didn't expect to cheat them a second time.However, these two people reacted very quickly, and they even tried to find a way to prove it, which made him lose the last little thought.
This time, after clarifying the route, Yi Li and Xie Cheng quickly came to the open space behind the railway building. The two of them immediately saw large trucks loaded with carriages. The front of three large trucks There is still a small black and yellow flag in the car window-that is the logo of the program group!At this point, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.It took them less than 10 minutes this time compared to the previous 10 minutes.Thinking of the wasted time, Yi Li and Xie Cheng secretly gritted their teeth.
"It's here." The fat man also waved his hand at this time.
"Thank you so much!" Yili twitched her lips and said sincerely to the other party, "It seems that we are the first team to arrive, and we will definitely complete the task as soon as possible and strive to win the championship! Thank you!" As for whether other teams have rushed to another mission during this period of time, she doesn't know.In any case, just don't make this bastard proud!
"..." The fat man who was originally happy suddenly twitched his face, and his mood suddenly became unhappy-he cheated others for a long time, but he didn't cheat at all. Is there anything more annoying than this?Thinking of this, his complexion gradually darkened, and there was a little bit of embarrassment at being seen through the trick and being ridiculed at the counterattack, so that he almost couldn't hold back his expression, and could barely squeeze out a dry answer from his mouth, "No, you're welcome, I'm leaving first."
"Be careful on the road." The corners of Yili's mouth curled up more and more, and the words in her mouth became more sincere, "By the way, if we win, I will send you a letter of thanks, and I will go to the railway office. Do you think it's okay?"
"……"What?is she seriousAre you trying to piss him off by sending a thank you note? !The fat man widened his small eyes angrily. Seeing Yili's sincere and shining eyes, and her sincere gesture as if she was about to shake hands with him, he felt more and more frustrated. Finally, he rolled his eyes reluctantly and refused to reply. , and left angrily.
Yili sneered silently with her back to the camera.
Xie Cheng went from being stunned at the beginning to laughing silently, and finally gave Yi Li a thumbs-up quietly——
The angry Yili is so handsome!
The way that guy was beaten to the point of being speechless is really gratifying, so gratifying! ! !
"Now, we are going to win even more!" Yi Li clenched her fists.
"Yes!" Xie Cheng resolutely carried out Yili's proposition and supported Yili's leadership!
"Well, let's go!" Yili flicked her sleeves and strode towards the staff beside the truck.
"Hello, what are we going to do?" Since Yi Li was still furious, it was Xie Cheng who came forward to negotiate.
"You have to park this truck, and then move the carriage with us to the track here, and finally connect it to the train." The middle-aged driver wearing a hard hat beside the truck said in detail.
This is actually a large parking lot. This big truck is loaded with a small carriage. According to him, it is a private carriage custom-made by a family. You can entrust the railway company to hang it on the designated train, and you can happily Waiting for departure.
This is also a business of the railway company. Of course, the charges are also very considerable.If you have more money, you can buy one or rent a locomotive alone. This is the power of capital in this country.Some people like to buy private jets, others like to buy private train carriages or locomotives, it's just a matter of personal preference.
"Which one of you two is coming?" the driver asked.
He wants to briefly teach them the essentials of driving a large truck. Trucks are different from cars. Now this truck has entered the parking lot, but it has not been parked on purpose. All they have to do is park the truck at the designated location for easy loading and unloading .
"I'll do it." Xie Cheng took the initiative.
"Okay." The driver nodded, and immediately began to teach Xie Cheng, "You know how to drive a car, right? In fact, cars and trucks are similar. This is the key, this is the accelerator, this is the brake, oh, this is the reverse Yes, you will use it later. Wait until you reach that line, and then just pour it in, it’s actually very simple blabla..."
Xie Cheng listened intently, and Yi Li also listened carefully on the sidelines. After Xie Cheng memorized the different driving methods of trucks and cars, and after a few test drives, the driver stopped making noise and allowed Xie Cheng to drive alone.
"Come on!" Yi Li shouted to Xie Cheng from under the car.
In fact, she is not very confident in Xie Cheng's driving skills, especially because the American driver's license test is so easy-many people go directly to the test after being taught by relatives and friends, and pass it easily without any experience I have passed the hell driving test mode in China, and felt the fear of being dominated by small roads and big roads, theory and practice, one subject, two subjects, three subjects and four subjects!
However, since Xie Cheng asked for it on his own initiative, Yili will not question him, and will only try her best to cheer for Xie Cheng, hoping that Xie Cheng will show super-level driving skills and complete the task in one go!
"Okay!" Xie Cheng smiled at Yili, and nodded confidently.
As a veteran driver for many years, this kind of task is easy to come by!
10 minutes later--
Xie Cheng reversed the car for the first time, the car parked crookedly and hit the parking line on the side, which failed.
Xie Cheng was not discouraged.
Well, it's normal to not grasp the direction well the first time.
The second time, the car was crooked again, and the crooked range was bigger than the first time, so it failed.
Xie Cheng took a deep breath.
This time he didn't perform well, come again!
For the third time, half of the car body entered the parking space on the side, and the result is needless to say?
Xie Cheng began to sigh.
Why don't you just stop the car?Do you want to stop the car?He can't believe he can't stop!
the fourth time……
San Francisco doesn't believe in tears.
Xie Cheng looked at the crooked rear of the car in the rearview mirror, his whole body was dark...
Facing Xie Cheng's failures again and again, Yili was not calm anymore.
"Excuse me, can I change?" Yili asked the driver decisively.
The detour mission is no better than the roadblock mission. It was originally completed by two people. In theory, anyone should be able to do it.
"Of course." The driver nodded, "Do you want to change people?"
"Let's discuss it." Yili said politely.
Xie Cheng soon saw Yi Li waving her hand below, "I want to try this mission, okay?"
"Can I do this?" Xie Cheng didn't object to Yili's participation, but he wasn't sure if the rules allowed it - of course he knew that Yili's driving skills could instantly kill anyone in the show, including him, but this The scope of use of the skill should be limited to conventional car racing, so he took the initiative to ask for it once.
"Yes, I asked." Yili nodded, "Let me try."
To be honest, she is not sure that she will be able to pass it once, after all, no one has ever driven such a big truck, but since Xie Cheng is not going well, of course they can't give up on themselves, just stuck here like this, they must make some changes .
"Okay." Xie Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately got off the driver's seat, giving way to Yi Li.
The two quickly completed the handover.
"Do you want me to tell you again?" The driver who had just guided Xie Cheng said to Yi Li.
"Thank you, but I've already remembered it." Yili smiled and shook her head at him, rejecting his kindness politely.
"Okay, come on." The driver smiled, stopped talking, and signaled Yili to start.
call……
Yili took a deep breath, and calculated the angle and direction in her mind. After confirming that it was too difficult to stop at the correct position with the current degree of deviation of the car body, she decided to do it twice—at least, for her, it was only It can be like this, after all, she has never driven this kind of vehicle before, it is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones and trying it for the first time.
Yili stepped on the accelerator lightly, took the truck out a little, then stepped on the brake, shifted gears, and started to reverse.
The driver sitting in the co-pilot didn't make a sound, just watched Yili's operation quietly - as long as the contestants don't use the brakes as gas pedals and hit other places, he won't speak, let alone do anything.
For the first time, Yili almost drove the car to the position before Xie Cheng reversed the car for the first time, with only a small deviation.
The second time, after Yili knew how to drive this kind of big truck, she went through the driver's instructions again in her heart, calculated the angle again, and after confirming that it was correct, she calmed down, drove the car out slowly, and adjusted the angle calmly , referring to the rearview mirror, and slowly parked the car where it should go, exactly!
"here you go!"
Xie Cheng, who was always paying attention to Yili's situation, was the first to cheer!
As early as when Yili turned the car back for the first time, he wanted to shout for Yili, but he kept silent cautiously for fear of disturbing Yili's operation. Excitedly hugged Yili down.
"Is it okay?" Yili, who was about to get out of the cab, was hugged by Xie Cheng, her cheeks blushed unconsciously, but she quickly supported Xie Cheng's arm to stand firm, and turned to the same person. The driver who got out of the car asked—of course, all three of them had a clear answer to this question, otherwise the other party would not have signaled Yili to get off the car.
"Of course." The driver nodded to Yili, and then looked at Xie Cheng, who had been defeated repeatedly before, and got a smile mixed with embarrassment and pride. The former was for himself, and the latter was for his teammates.Seeing them getting along with each other without any hesitation, the driver couldn't help laughing, "Then, let's do the next task, it's physical work."
"Okay!" The two nodded without any fear.
Under the leadership of the driver, the two began to unload the carriages together with other workers.
In fact, this is a job that can be done with a crane, but since it is part of the contestant's task, the two of them cannot use the convenience of a crane, so they can only go to battle in person, just like when the railway transportation was just born decades ago, Rely entirely on manpower.
As the only woman in the group, Ely has done as much as any of the others, whether it's moving the carriages off the truck or lifting them onto the tracks with the others nearby.However, Yili didn't complain about every physical task, she just gritted her teeth silently and carried it off.
The effort of the two was worth it.
"No problem." The engineer in charge of the inspection nodded quickly, and smiled at the two of them. "Congratulations, you have passed this task." He said, and handed out the precious clue card.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The two happily took the clue card. Xie Cheng reached out and wiped the sweat from Yi Li's cheeks, and slightly brushed her sweaty hair behind her ears, and placed it on her face. A light gray mark was left on his face, but Yili didn't care, she raised her head and showed him a bright smile.
In the eyes of other people smiling and watching, the two smiled at them embarrassedly and walked aside.
"Route information: 10001011000100101." Yili opened the clue card, and saw this unprecedentedly concise prompt at a glance, and these numbers are not ordinary black prints, but abnormal yellow fonts, but this may also be part of the information, "Binary?" Yili's first reaction was this.
"It should be." Xie Cheng nodded and thought, "This should hint at our next mission. According to the general idea, when we see binary, our first reaction is to convert it to decimal. Maybe the information is hidden in the new number." inside."
"In decimal, it should be..." Yili calculated silently in her heart, zero is ignored directly, any power of zero is zero, and the largest single digit unit is Beijing, which is ten thousand trillion, or ten thousand Trillion, converted to decimal, is 2 to the 17th power; then trillion, 2 to the 13th power; then tens of billions, 2 to the 11th power; then billions, 2 to the 10th power... The sum of all the numbers is the decimal number converted from this string of binary numbers.
The problem is that the amount of calculation is too large. Of course, it is not impossible to calculate. 2 to the 20th power and 10th power are commonly used numbers. After multiplying and dividing, you can get other powers of 2. Finally Summing up, that is...
"Let's borrow a calculator."
"71205!"
The two spoke at the same time, Xie Cheng gave a solution, and Yili directly reported the number.
"Honey, are you sure?!" Xie Cheng asked in disbelief.
"En." Yili double-checked in her heart, and nodded to Xie Cheng.
"..." Xie Cheng was in a daze.
The people of American imperialism are also in a trance.
——It’s incredible to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide 17-digit numbers by mouth!
——God knows, even when calculating three-digit numbers, no, two-digit addition and subtraction, I have to press the calculator...
——Has the program group really never edited it? !
—simply terrible!
Xie Cheng was amazed in his heart, but he didn't doubt Yili's statement.
This is Yili's affirmative answer, without absolute certainty, Yili would not say that.
If it was the other way around, Yili would also believe in Xie Cheng.
This is the trust between the two.
Having said that, Xie Cheng's calculation ability must be above the average level, and he is a computer major, and he is very familiar with the numbers 1048 and 1048576, but it is impossible to convert them so quickly-he can He wrote a small conversion program for a fool in seconds, but he didn't have the computing power.
To put it bluntly, programmers and mathematicians may have some overlapping talents, but the latter focuses on the sensitivity of numbers, and the purpose is to solve the correct answer, no matter how complicated the process is; the former focuses on the uniqueness of the algorithm, facing a When solving a problem, finding the optimal solution and the simplest algorithm is the goal of the programmer.
"It's not what you think." Seeing Xie Cheng's expression of astonishment on his face, Yili couldn't help explaining a few sentences amusedly, "If I change binary to ternary, I can't figure it out. It’s just more familiar with the multiples.” The largest amount of work is just to calculate the sum of 2 numbers, which is not a difficult problem for any Chinese student.
"Okay." It's not difficult to do this, Xie Cheng can do it himself, but he is definitely not as fast as Yili, so he proposed to borrow a calculator, and speed is the key to this calculation, "Then , 71205 means..."
"Hmm..." Yili also thought about it.
The program team often sets some tasks according to the strengths of the contestants, so that the contestants have the opportunity to show their abilities.But in order not to make other players feel too unfair, it must be set very simple.Therefore, this route information may have taken Xiecheng's knowledge background into consideration, but it was not too in-depth.In the same way, the meaning implied by this number is not too difficult...
"Could it be the 26 alphabet?" Xie Cheng had a flash of inspiration.
"If that's the case..." Yili's eyes lit up, this is the easiest way to decrypt it!
"GATE!" Xie Cheng said immediately.
The upper limit of the alphabet is 26, so when 71205 is disassembled, it should be viewed as follows: the first digit is 7, the second digit is 1, and it cannot be 12. In that case, there will be more 0s, and there will be no letters in the 0th digit. , so 0 must be connected after 2, the third digit is 20, and the fourth digit is 5. There is and only this kind of decomposition method. If it corresponds to the alphabet, it is GATE!
"A door? Are we looking for a door? Where is the door?" Xie Cheng murmured.
"This line is yellow. It's very special. Are we looking for a yellow door? Is it nearby?" Elise thought.
"No, it's not yellow, it's golden! Golden Gate!" Xie Cheng stroked the clue card Yili handed over, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, "The Golden Gate Bridge is in San Francisco!"
"It makes sense!" Yili also looked at Xie Cheng happily, thinking that their reasoning was fine. The program crew would certainly cheat people, but they wouldn't make things difficult for the contestants for no reason. If it was reasoning, it should be this difficult !
"So—" Xie Cheng looked back at Yi Li with a smile.
"Let's go!" Yili kissed Xie Cheng, and dragged Xie Cheng to run out quickly!
As soon as the two of them ran to the gate, they saw the fat man who had cheated them earlier brought two familiar black guys over.
"Lilian, Chester!" Seeing the two, the black brother's eyes lit up, and he smiled like a cute little flower in the sun.
"..." In stark contrast, the fat man's face was full of smiles.
"You guys are here." Yili and Xie Cheng stepped forward with a smile, completely ignoring the fat man who looked weird, and didn't even give him a look, but the greeting with the black brothers was always friendly and natural—if If everyone is prejudiced against a person's group because of the bad behavior of a few people, then they are no different from this fat man.
"Have you finished the mission yet?" Ario asked a bit tangled.
They were supposed to be the first to start, but now they were behind, and it was hard for Ario not to care.However, the opponent was the first team in the last stage, and only his own team won the challenge before starting first. In this way, it doesn't matter if the opponent catches up again, the game is always like this.Thinking of this, Ario was somewhat relieved.
"Yes." Yili smiled at the brothers, then looked at the bored fat man beside her, and said sincerely, "Thanks to this gentleman who led us the way, we were able to get here the fastest and complete the task in time , thank you so much! Thank you very much!"
"..." Hearing that they had finished the task, the expression on the fat man's face was already very unkind, and when he heard Yili's deliberate irony, he was even more frustrated, and almost passed out like this, okay? Yi recovered his breath and saw the friendly conversation between the black brother and the couple again, which made his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Let's go first, I wish you good luck." Yili said to the brothers.
"Okay, goodbye, and good luck to you too." The two brothers nodded, and they were also anxious to do the task.
"Goodbye, and this gentleman." Yili finally smiled at the fat man. Seeing the expression on the fat man's face as if he had swallowed a toad alive, he finally got along with Xie Cheng, who was watching her one-sided output. Angrily turned and left.

The author has something to say: Don’t hold grudges as a human being, just report it on the spot ╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Let's go!" After getting off the plane, the two rushed to the parking lot!
They have no time to think about how far behind the first team, they just want to try their best to catch up with the vanguard!
As for the fact that the previous flight stopped temporarily in San Salvador, they were actually the first team, and the two didn't know it yet.However, whether they know it or not, their fighting spirit remains the same!
Champions, only champions can make their efforts meaningful!
The two soon came to the parking lot, and saw the three sponsor cars parked side by side, as well as the yellow and yellow clue cards in front of the windshield of each car, they couldn't help being startled.
"We were the first to arrive?!"
"Ario and the others haven't arrived yet?!"
The two said in unison, and then showed surprise and restrained smiles.
No matter what, it's always good to be ahead.
"Maybe it's late." Xie Cheng guessed.
"Maybe." Eli nodded.
"Look at the clue card first." Xie Cheng said.
"Okay." Yili picked out a car, opened the clue card on the front window and said, "Detour: decoration or transportation?"
Xie Cheng frowned.
Another general reminder.
The two choices seemed clear, but in fact nothing was said at all.
What to decorate, how to decorate, what to transport and how to transport, this is the key to this task.
"Why don't we just transport it?" Yili suggested - in the case of insufficient information, it is impossible to conduct any effective analysis, and we can only rely on our feelings.Compared with the decoration, which may require slow work and meticulous work, the transportation task should be simpler, and it may be the physical task in this detour task.
"Okay." Xie Cheng had no objection.
"Transportation: The team will go to the San Francisco train station, find the railroad office, and assist the crew to install a new car."
Yili turned over the clue card and read out the mission description of the transportation mission.
"It doesn't sound difficult." Xie Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and opened the car door, "Shall I drive?"
"Okay." Yi nodded, and then got into the co-pilot.
Compared with those countries where they are unfamiliar and have a language barrier, the two returned to the United States feel much more at ease.
But for Yili, the country that is far away across the ocean is the most relaxing thing for her. Even if she doesn’t do anything, just being in the middle of the bustling city and listening to the familiar Chinese words in the flow of people is enough to make her feel warm and happy. kind.
In order to be able to go home one day, they will definitely do their best this time, even if they use any means!
"Hello, we want to complete a mission here." Following the instructions on the map, the two quickly arrived at the San Francisco Railway Station. After parking the car, they followed the instructions on the clue card and found the staff of the railway office. The other party asked, "Do you know where we are going to load the carriages?"
"Come with me." The fat black man with a bunch of big keys hanging from his waist grinned at the two of them.
"Thank you!" The two hurriedly followed. Actions according to the instructions of the clue card did not count as a violation of the prohibition on leading the way, just like when they were in Brazil, it was acquiesced to have a butler guide them in the manor.
When Yi Li and Xie Cheng rushed to their mission location, two other planes from Houston and Panama also arrived at San Francisco Airport.
The Dunphys and the black brothers got off the plane almost one after the other and hurried to the parking lot.
"Detour: decoration or transportation, which one should we choose?" Claire read out the hint on the clue card.
"Let's decorate, I'm good at this!" Mr. Deng Fei patted his chest and said, the decoration of the home was done by him.
"I have no objection." Claire nodded and got into the car.
"Bruno, which one should we do?" Ario discussed with Bruno after reading the clue card.
"How about doing transportation? We have great strength!" Bruno gave a very practical reason.
"Okay!" Ario readily agreed.
The two teams also rushed to their respective mission locations.
At the same time, Yili and Xie Cheng had followed the man for nearly 10 minutes, but they couldn't see the shadow of the carriage, so they couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Excuse me, are you going this way? Why haven't we come?" Yili couldn't help asking.
"Ah!" The other party turned a corner and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "The road is being built here, we have to go back."
"What?" Xie Cheng also frowned, walked over, and saw the dusty construction road over there at a glance.
"That's it, let's go, there is another way." The other party spread his hands needlessly, and took the lead to walk back.
"..." Is this playing with them?Yi Li and Xie Cheng looked at each other. Is it possible that the people who have been working nearby don't know that they are building roads?Well, it's not impossible, but the attitude of the other party is really too subtle.

Noticing the seriousness on the faces of the two, the fat man who was walking in front quietly curled the corners of his mouth, showing a hint of a smile.
He didn't dare to really do anything bad to them. After all, the camera was still filming nearby, and he didn't want to do anything blatantly. He just wanted to add some confusion to them. It would be better if they let them miss the victory--as for the end He didn't care much about whether the winner was the other white group or the black group. Anyway, he was very satisfied if he got two or two.
"Hello." It was impossible for the two of them to sit still. When they walked back to the station, Yili saw a staff member in a railway uniform. She stopped decisively and asked him, "Do you know where the train carriage is?" Install it?"
"Installing the carriages? Go over there, turn a corner, go around and you will see that the new carriages are loaded and unloaded there, and then connected at the end of the train." The other party instructed straightforwardly.
"Okay, thank you!" After confirming that they were going in the right direction this time, Yi Li quickly thanked the other party, and the other party waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing, and he would continue to work.
Seeing that Yili asked for directions, the fat man who led the way looked a bit unhappy, but he didn't say much, just hummed lightly, and stood where he was, waiting for the two of them to finish their questioning before continuing to walk—to cheat them once That's enough, he didn't expect to cheat them a second time.However, these two people reacted very quickly, and they even tried to find a way to prove it, which made him lose the last little thought.
This time, after clarifying the route, Yi Li and Xie Cheng quickly came to the open space behind the railway building. The two of them immediately saw large trucks loaded with carriages. The front of three large trucks There is still a small black and yellow flag in the car window-that is the logo of the program group!At this point, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.It took them less than 10 minutes this time compared to the previous 10 minutes.Thinking of the wasted time, Yi Li and Xie Cheng secretly gritted their teeth.
"It's here." The fat man also waved his hand at this time.
"Thank you so much!" Yili twitched her lips and said sincerely to the other party, "It seems that we are the first team to arrive, and we will definitely complete the task as soon as possible and strive to win the championship! Thank you!" As for whether other teams have rushed to another mission during this period of time, she doesn't know.In any case, just don't make this bastard proud!
"..." The fat man who was originally happy suddenly twitched his face, and his mood suddenly became unhappy-he cheated others for a long time, but he didn't cheat at all. Is there anything more annoying than this?Thinking of this, his complexion gradually darkened, and there was a little bit of embarrassment at being seen through the trick and being ridiculed at the counterattack, so that he almost couldn't hold back his expression, and could barely squeeze out a dry answer from his mouth, "No, you're welcome, I'm leaving first."
"Be careful on the road." The corners of Yili's mouth curled up more and more, and the words in her mouth became more sincere, "By the way, if we win, I will send you a letter of thanks, and I will go to the railway office. Do you think it's okay?"
"……"What?is she seriousAre you trying to piss him off by sending a thank you note? !The fat man widened his small eyes angrily. Seeing Yili's sincere and shining eyes, and her sincere gesture as if she was about to shake hands with him, he felt more and more frustrated. Finally, he rolled his eyes reluctantly and refused to reply. , and left angrily.
Yili sneered silently with her back to the camera.
Xie Cheng went from being stunned at the beginning to laughing silently, and finally gave Yi Li a thumbs-up quietly——
The angry Yili is so handsome!
The way that guy was beaten to the point of being speechless is really gratifying, so gratifying! ! !
"Now, we are going to win even more!" Yi Li clenched her fists.
"Yes!" Xie Cheng resolutely carried out Yili's proposition and supported Yili's leadership!
"Well, let's go!" Yili flicked her sleeves and strode towards the staff beside the truck.
"Hello, what are we going to do?" Since Yi Li was still furious, it was Xie Cheng who came forward to negotiate.
"You have to park this truck, and then move the carriage with us to the track here, and finally connect it to the train." The middle-aged driver wearing a hard hat beside the truck said in detail.
This is actually a large parking lot. This big truck is loaded with a small carriage. According to him, it is a private carriage custom-made by a family. You can entrust the railway company to hang it on the designated train, and you can happily Waiting for departure.
This is also a business of the railway company. Of course, the charges are also very considerable.If you have more money, you can buy one or rent a locomotive alone. This is the power of capital in this country.Some people like to buy private jets, others like to buy private train carriages or locomotives, it's just a matter of personal preference.
"Which one of you two is coming?" the driver asked.
He wants to briefly teach them the essentials of driving a large truck. Trucks are different from cars. Now this truck has entered the parking lot, but it has not been parked on purpose. All they have to do is park the truck at the designated location for easy loading and unloading .
"I'll do it." Xie Cheng took the initiative.
"Okay." The driver nodded, and immediately began to teach Xie Cheng, "You know how to drive a car, right? In fact, cars and trucks are similar. This is the key, this is the accelerator, this is the brake, oh, this is the reverse Yes, you will use it later. Wait until you reach that line, and then just pour it in, it’s actually very simple blabla..."
Xie Cheng listened intently, and Yi Li also listened carefully on the sidelines. After Xie Cheng memorized the different driving methods of trucks and cars, and after a few test drives, the driver stopped making noise and allowed Xie Cheng to drive alone.
"Come on!" Yi Li shouted to Xie Cheng from under the car.
In fact, she is not very confident in Xie Cheng's driving skills, especially because the American driver's license test is so easy-many people go directly to the test after being taught by relatives and friends, and pass it easily without any experience I have passed the hell driving test mode in China, and felt the fear of being dominated by small roads and big roads, theory and practice, one subject, two subjects, three subjects and four subjects!
However, since Xie Cheng asked for it on his own initiative, Yili will not question him, and will only try her best to cheer for Xie Cheng, hoping that Xie Cheng will show super-level driving skills and complete the task in one go!
"Okay!" Xie Cheng smiled at Yili, and nodded confidently.
As a veteran driver for many years, this kind of task is easy to come by!
10 minutes later--
Xie Cheng reversed the car for the first time, the car parked crookedly and hit the parking line on the side, which failed.
Xie Cheng was not discouraged.
Well, it's normal to not grasp the direction well the first time.
The second time, the car was crooked again, and the crooked range was bigger than the first time, so it failed.
Xie Cheng took a deep breath.
This time he didn't perform well, come again!
For the third time, half of the car body entered the parking space on the side, and the result is needless to say?
Xie Cheng began to sigh.
Why don't you just stop the car?Do you want to stop the car?He can't believe he can't stop!
the fourth time……
San Francisco doesn't believe in tears.
Xie Cheng looked at the crooked rear of the car in the rearview mirror, his whole body was dark...
Facing Xie Cheng's failures again and again, Yili was not calm anymore.
"Excuse me, can I change?" Yili asked the driver decisively.
The detour mission is no better than the roadblock mission. It was originally completed by two people. In theory, anyone should be able to do it.
"Of course." The driver nodded, "Do you want to change people?"
"Let's discuss it." Yili said politely.
Xie Cheng soon saw Yi Li waving her hand below, "I want to try this mission, okay?"
"Can I do this?" Xie Cheng didn't object to Yili's participation, but he wasn't sure if the rules allowed it - of course he knew that Yili's driving skills could instantly kill anyone in the show, including him, but this The scope of use of the skill should be limited to conventional car racing, so he took the initiative to ask for it once.
"Yes, I asked." Yili nodded, "Let me try."
To be honest, she is not sure that she will be able to pass it once, after all, no one has ever driven such a big truck, but since Xie Cheng is not going well, of course they can't give up on themselves, just stuck here like this, they must make some changes .
"Okay." Xie Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately got off the driver's seat, giving way to Yi Li.
The two quickly completed the handover.
"Do you want me to tell you again?" The driver who had just guided Xie Cheng said to Yi Li.
"Thank you, but I've already remembered it." Yili smiled and shook her head at him, rejecting his kindness politely.
"Okay, come on." The driver smiled, stopped talking, and signaled Yili to start.
call……
Yili took a deep breath, and calculated the angle and direction in her mind. After confirming that it was too difficult to stop at the correct position with the current degree of deviation of the car body, she decided to do it twice—at least, for her, it was only It can be like this, after all, she has never driven this kind of vehicle before, it is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones and trying it for the first time.
Yili stepped on the accelerator lightly, took the truck out a little, then stepped on the brake, shifted gears, and started to reverse.
The driver sitting in the co-pilot didn't make a sound, just watched Yili's operation quietly - as long as the contestants don't use the brakes as gas pedals and hit other places, he won't speak, let alone do anything.
For the first time, Yili almost drove the car to the position before Xie Cheng reversed the car for the first time, with only a small deviation.
The second time, after Yili knew how to drive this kind of big truck, she went through the driver's instructions again in her heart, calculated the angle again, and after confirming that it was correct, she calmed down, drove the car out slowly, and adjusted the angle calmly , referring to the rearview mirror, and slowly parked the car where it should go, exactly!
"here you go!"
Xie Cheng, who was always paying attention to Yili's situation, was the first to cheer!
As early as when Yili turned the car back for the first time, he wanted to shout for Yili, but he kept silent cautiously for fear of disturbing Yili's operation. Excitedly hugged Yili down.
"Is it okay?" Yili, who was about to get out of the cab, was hugged by Xie Cheng, her cheeks blushed unconsciously, but she quickly supported Xie Cheng's arm to stand firm, and turned to the same person. The driver who got out of the car asked—of course, all three of them had a clear answer to this question, otherwise the other party would not have signaled Yili to get off the car.
"Of course." The driver nodded to Yili, and then looked at Xie Cheng, who had been defeated repeatedly before, and got a smile mixed with embarrassment and pride. The former was for himself, and the latter was for his teammates.Seeing them getting along with each other without any hesitation, the driver couldn't help laughing, "Then, let's do the next task, it's physical work."
"Okay!" The two nodded without any fear.
Under the leadership of the driver, the two began to unload the carriages together with other workers.
In fact, this is a job that can be done with a crane, but since it is part of the contestant's task, the two of them cannot use the convenience of a crane, so they can only go to battle in person, just like when the railway transportation was just born decades ago, Rely entirely on manpower.
As the only woman in the group, Ely has done as much as any of the others, whether it's moving the carriages off the truck or lifting them onto the tracks with the others nearby.However, Yili didn't complain about every physical task, she just gritted her teeth silently and carried it off.
The effort of the two was worth it.
"No problem." The engineer in charge of the inspection nodded quickly, and smiled at the two of them. "Congratulations, you have passed this task." He said, and handed out the precious clue card.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The two happily took the clue card. Xie Cheng reached out and wiped the sweat from Yi Li's cheeks, and slightly brushed her sweaty hair behind her ears, and placed it on her face. A light gray mark was left on his face, but Yili didn't care, she raised her head and showed him a bright smile.
In the eyes of other people smiling and watching, the two smiled at them embarrassedly and walked aside.
"Route information: 10001011000100101." Yili opened the clue card, and saw this unprecedentedly concise prompt at a glance, and these numbers are not ordinary black prints, but abnormal yellow fonts, but this may also be part of the information, "Binary?" Yili's first reaction was this.
"It should be." Xie Cheng nodded and thought, "This should hint at our next mission. According to the general idea, when we see binary, our first reaction is to convert it to decimal. Maybe the information is hidden in the new number." inside."
"In decimal, it should be..." Yili calculated silently in her heart, zero is ignored directly, any power of zero is zero, and the largest single digit unit is Beijing, which is ten thousand trillion, or ten thousand Trillion, converted to decimal, is 2 to the 17th power; then trillion, 2 to the 13th power; then tens of billions, 2 to the 11th power; then billions, 2 to the 10th power... The sum of all the numbers is the decimal number converted from this string of binary numbers.
The problem is that the amount of calculation is too large. Of course, it is not impossible to calculate. 2 to the 20th power and 10th power are commonly used numbers. After multiplying and dividing, you can get other powers of 2. Finally Summing up, that is...
"Let's borrow a calculator."
"71205!"
The two spoke at the same time, Xie Cheng gave a solution, and Yili directly reported the number.
"Honey, are you sure?!" Xie Cheng asked in disbelief.
"En." Yili double-checked in her heart, and nodded to Xie Cheng.
"..." Xie Cheng was in a daze.
The people of American imperialism are also in a trance.
——It’s incredible to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide 17-digit numbers by mouth!
——God knows, even when calculating three-digit numbers, no, two-digit addition and subtraction, I have to press the calculator...
——Has the program group really never edited it? !
—simply terrible!
Xie Cheng was amazed in his heart, but he didn't doubt Yili's statement.
This is Yili's affirmative answer, without absolute certainty, Yili would not say that.
If it was the other way around, Yili would also believe in Xie Cheng.
This is the trust between the two.
Having said that, Xie Cheng's calculation ability must be above the average level, and he is a computer major, and he is very familiar with the numbers 1048 and 1048576, but it is impossible to convert them so quickly-he can He wrote a small conversion program for a fool in seconds, but he didn't have the computing power.
To put it bluntly, programmers and mathematicians may have some overlapping talents, but the latter focuses on the sensitivity of numbers, and the purpose is to solve the correct answer, no matter how complicated the process is; the former focuses on the uniqueness of the algorithm, facing a When solving a problem, finding the optimal solution and the simplest algorithm is the goal of the programmer.
"It's not what you think." Seeing Xie Cheng's expression of astonishment on his face, Yili couldn't help explaining a few sentences amusedly, "If I change binary to ternary, I can't figure it out. It’s just more familiar with the multiples.” The largest amount of work is just to calculate the sum of 2 numbers, which is not a difficult problem for any Chinese student.
"Okay." It's not difficult to do this, Xie Cheng can do it himself, but he is definitely not as fast as Yili, so he proposed to borrow a calculator, and speed is the key to this calculation, "Then , 71205 means..."
"Hmm..." Yili also thought about it.
The program team often sets some tasks according to the strengths of the contestants, so that the contestants have the opportunity to show their abilities.But in order not to make other players feel too unfair, it must be set very simple.Therefore, this route information may have taken Xiecheng's knowledge background into consideration, but it was not too in-depth.In the same way, the meaning implied by this number is not too difficult...
"Could it be the 26 alphabet?" Xie Cheng had a flash of inspiration.
"If that's the case..." Yili's eyes lit up, this is the easiest way to decrypt it!
"GATE!" Xie Cheng said immediately.
The upper limit of the alphabet is 26, so when 71205 is disassembled, it should be viewed as follows: the first digit is 7, the second digit is 1, and it cannot be 12. In that case, there will be more 0s, and there will be no letters in the 0th digit. , so 0 must be connected after 2, the third digit is 20, and the fourth digit is 5. There is and only this kind of decomposition method. If it corresponds to the alphabet, it is GATE!
"A door? Are we looking for a door? Where is the door?" Xie Cheng murmured.
"This line is yellow. It's very special. Are we looking for a yellow door? Is it nearby?" Elise thought.
"No, it's not yellow, it's golden! Golden Gate!" Xie Cheng stroked the clue card Yili handed over, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, "The Golden Gate Bridge is in San Francisco!"
"It makes sense!" Yili also looked at Xie Cheng happily, thinking that their reasoning was fine. The program crew would certainly cheat people, but they wouldn't make things difficult for the contestants for no reason. If it was reasoning, it should be this difficult !
"So—" Xie Cheng looked back at Yi Li with a smile.
"Let's go!" Yili kissed Xie Cheng, and dragged Xie Cheng to run out quickly!
As soon as the two of them ran to the gate, they saw the fat man who had cheated them earlier brought two familiar black guys over.
"Lilian, Chester!" Seeing the two, the black brother's eyes lit up, and he smiled like a cute little flower in the sun.
"..." In stark contrast, the fat man's face was full of smiles.
"You guys are here." Yili and Xie Cheng stepped forward with a smile, completely ignoring the fat man who looked weird, and didn't even give him a look, but the greeting with the black brothers was always friendly and natural—if If everyone is prejudiced against a person's group because of the bad behavior of a few people, then they are no different from this fat man.
"Have you finished the mission yet?" Ario asked a bit tangled.
They were supposed to be the first to start, but now they were behind, and it was hard for Ario not to care.However, the opponent was the first team in the last stage, and only his own team won the challenge before starting first. In this way, it doesn't matter if the opponent catches up again, the game is always like this.Thinking of this, Ario was somewhat relieved.
"Yes." Yili smiled at the brothers, then looked at the bored fat man beside her, and said sincerely, "Thanks to this gentleman who led us the way, we were able to get here the fastest and complete the task in time , thank you so much! Thank you very much!"
"..." Hearing that they had finished the task, the expression on the fat man's face was already very unkind, and when he heard Yili's deliberate irony, he was even more frustrated, and almost passed out like this, okay? Yi recovered his breath and saw the friendly conversation between the black brother and the couple again, which made his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Let's go first, I wish you good luck." Yili said to the brothers.
"Okay, goodbye, and good luck to you too." The two brothers nodded, and they were also anxious to do the task.
"Goodbye, and this gentleman." Yili finally smiled at the fat man. Seeing the expression on the fat man's face as if he had swallowed a toad alive, he finally got along with Xie Cheng, who was watching her one-sided output. Angrily turned and left.
