Chapter 466 - 329: Fermentation
Fortunately, Wang Ye has developed a certain capability for heat storage through evolution. The amount of heat stored within his body, consisting of a hundred trillion cells, is comparable to the total caloric intake of an average person’s lifetime. Therefore, as long as the exercise is not too intense, he can maintain it for around half an hour.
However, after half an hour, he must immediately surface and absorb sunlight, or he will face life-threatening energy depletion.
But such situations are virtually impossible for Wang Ye, as his brain domain development allows him to precisely monitor various bodily indicators down to the hundredth decimal place.
Thus, unless there’s an emergency, he won’t find himself depleted of energy to the point of death.
"Really... I didn’t expect that the pressure at five hundred meters deep could be this heavy. I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be at a thousand or even ten thousand meters," Wang Ye thought, feeling the intense pressure from head to toe.
If he were to swim even deeper, reaching several thousand meters, the water pressure might pose a threat to him. While he has considered using the underwater pressure to train the Vajra Indestructible skill, there are few sea areas in his usual training places. Moreover, energy replenishment from fixed star heat is unavailable in the sea, requiring him to periodically surface to absorb energy, which is quite troublesome, so he has to give up.
Furthermore, the pressure here is already sufficient for his training.
In these conditions, Wang Ye can only maintain a low swimming speed of twenty to thirty kilometers per hour.
This demonstrates the terrifying nature of the water pressure here.
Wang Ye slightly accustomed himself to the surrounding pressure,
then spread his limbs and tried to perform Tai Chi moves underwater,
knowing that for a normal person, even walking in a pool is extremely difficult, like dragging hundreds of pounds of weight. At five hundred meters underwater, the lag is even more outrageous. Wang Ye not only needs to exert force with his muscles but also use all his Primordial Qi to propel his body forward. Combining both, he can barely reach the normal activity speed of a regular person on land.
Moreover, the resistance from each move results in significant physical exertion, as if he were inferior to a regular person. After performing one or two sets, he is close to exhaustion, but rather than dispiriting him, this physical exhaustion stimulates him.
Because when the brain senses exhaustion, it indicates the muscles have been trained.
Wang Ye keeps attempting various movements like running, punching, jumping, and squatting to test the muscle stimulation degree of these activities underwater, finally finding that running provides the strongest muscle stimulation. His most proficient movement now is running, which most effectively triggers his body’s potential,
and combined with the water pressure at five hundred meters deep, it naturally results in high muscle stimulation, especially for the thigh and calf muscles, which will be thoroughly stimulated.
Realizing this, Wang Ye commenced intensive running training under the sea. Due to the buoyancy of seawater and the looseness of sand at the sea bottom, running isn’t that straightforward. He needs to exert force to create downward pressure on his body, increasing friction between his feet and the soft seabed to enhance his running speed.
In this harsh environment, the method of transforming his soles into something akin to a cheetah’s paws, which he mastered on land, has nearly lost its effectiveness because the undersea sand scatters with slight force, failing to provide friction. Fortunately, Wang Ye’s bones can adapt to other shapes, so he calculated based on the current environment and developed his feet into crab-like legs.
After changing to this shape, he attempted running again, and his speed instantly soared from the previous eighty kilometers per hour to two hundred kilometers per hour, more than doubling. This crab-leg transformation illustrates how excellent the friction gain is.
Friction seems simple, but in fact, this field hasn’t been fully understood by mankind yet. In the current scientific system, there’s even a separate discipline called tribology, with many university labs dedicated to tribology research, requiring billions in annual funding.
Some may perceive friction as a simple science calculated by friction coefficient formulas, but in reality, it’s not that straightforward. The so-called adhesion force, surface tension, mechanical bonding force, and others together contribute to friction. High school physics simplifies them all into a friction coefficient, while phenomena like how airplanes take off are challenging to systematically explain with current science.
Yet, Wang Ye has developed a deep understanding of friction, so much deeper than any scientist specializing in this area.
Though he hasn’t formally studied physics, during the enhancement of his sports skills, these unknown human theories naturally emerged in his mind.
This is why he can achieve so many seemingly impossible feats. Behind every apparent miracle lies theoretical support. If Wang Ye were unaware of these theories, he wouldn’t accomplish these miracles.
In the fitness realm, there’s a saying, "Train your brain before you train your body." For serious fitness enthusiasts, every pound of muscle requires knowledge to sustain it, rather than sheer sweat.
