Chapter 445 - 318: Even If I Must Hold Up a Hundred-Ton Hydraulic Press, Wang Ye Remains Invincible

Wang Ye pressed the control panel again, raising the press head.

He picked up the bone fragment on the workbench and examined it,

There were no obvious signs of deformation or damage on it.

On the contrary, the workbench below had been pressed with a shallow mark. You should know that the material of this workbench is alloy steel, which usually doesn’t leave noticeable marks, only appearing over long-term use with many scratches and dents.

But now Wang Ye’s bone hardness far exceeds that of alloy steel, and its volume is very small. With small area and high pressure, the downward force is astonishing, which is why the workbench was marked. In fact, the internal structure of this hydraulic machine is also manufactured based on the principle of small area and high pressure, since its internal structure is a liquid-filled pipeline, with a large piston on the upper end, and a small piston connected to the press head at the lower end. The large piston at the top only applies one kilogram of force, while the small piston at the end can release ten kilograms of force.

This principle is often used by Wang Ye in exercise to increase his maximum speed limit. Athletes may not necessarily use this detail commonly, but at Wang Ye’s level, it becomes applicable, since most of his skills are already perfected, and improvements can only be made in terms of finer details.

In short, when the hydraulic machine releases one hundred tons of force, it does not necessarily use one hundred tons of energy internally. It just uses various physical means to pressurize and increase the final force.

Seeing that the bone could withstand twenty tons of force, Wang Ye directly adjusted the pressure to one hundred tons.

He pressed the start button.

BOOM!!!

The roar of the hydraulic machine was much more deafening than the previous twenty tons. The press head similarly moved slowly towards the bone fragment placed on the workbench.

The press head gradually pressed down on the bone, and the bone began to tremble slightly,

Emitting a faint cracking sound, as if it were moaning under unbearable weight. The workbench below was completely unable to withstand this weight, visibly denting under the pressure.

But after about five seconds, the bone still did not show significant deformation or breakage.

Only some protruding edges were crushed, turning into bone-like powder.

Wang Ye pressed the workbench again, raising the press head. He rubbed some "bone powder" scattered on the workbench with his thumb and index finger.

He had already formed a rough idea of the strength of his own bones.

His bone strength alone should be able to withstand about three to four hundred tons of downward pressure.

But if combined with muscle and weightlifting postural techniques,

he might be able to withstand even higher downward pressure.

So after musing for a moment, he adjusted the hydraulic machine’s pressure to fifty tons and set it to shut off automatically after twenty seconds.

He then lightly jumped onto the workbench of the hydraulic machine.

The height of this workbench was about one and a half meters,

so Wang Ye had to crouch to barely stand on it.

However, this posture just happened to mobilize his thigh and arm muscles,

After Wang Ye adjusted his posture, the press head began to move slowly.

He took a deep breath and braced his hands against the press head. A terrifying pressure suddenly appeared on his palms and the soles of his feet.

Wang Ye gritted his teeth, immediately transporting blood into his muscles,

The muscles in his shoulders, arms, and thighs instantly bulged out,

The releasing contraction force increased by about double. But the press head above still kept pressing down continuously, and Wang Ye simply couldn’t resist its downward trend.

This was within Wang Ye’s considerations, so he did not show any surprised expression. Instead, he continued to resist the pressure coming from above, attempting to use this to train his own strength.

In actuality, the pressure that bones can withstand, and the pressure the human body itself can withstand, are two different concepts. The bones of an average person, when tested, can withstand three thousand kilograms of pressure, but if an ordinary person were subjected to three thousand kilograms of pressure, they would certainly be crushed to death on the spot.

Because before the bones break, the muscles will first strain due to excessive pressure, the internal organs will rupture due to bearing too much pressure, and all the soft tissues, such as eyes and ligaments, will directly burst or break apart, the bones which account for the largest part of the body ironically only fracture last.

Just like the most formidable strongmen like Eddie Hall and Demon Mountain, they burst nosebleed when lifting a five-hundred-kilogram barbell, and their blood pressure spikes to extremely dangerous levels, always having the possibility of sudden death.

If it were an ordinary person, bearing even one-tenth of the pressure the bones can withstand — three hundred kilograms could potentially crush them on the spot. Nowadays, there’s no shortage of examples of people being crushed by barbells in gyms, and yet many people are unaware that most of those barbells do not exceed two hundred kilograms.

That’s why when Wang Ye saw the bone withstand one hundred tons of pressure without showing obvious deformation, he specifically adjusted the pressure down to fifty tons,

That was why he dared to jump on the workbench and let his body directly withstand the pressure of the hydraulic machine.

Even when bones bearing one hundred tons of pressure show slight explosive deformation, if Wang Ye himself were to bear one hundred tons of pressure. One hundred percent he’d burst without any doubt.

But with fifty tons of pressure, there’s a certain probability that it can be resisted. Actually, Wang Ye has no clear concept of his own strength,

He only remembers when challenging the Emergence of Power, Carlos and his motorcycle fell at high speed and he managed to hold back over ten tons of impact with one arm. This implies his pulling strength can reach tens of tons. However, due to the anatomy of his body, pulling strength is generally stronger than pushing strength, so just because his pulling strength can exceed ten tons, it doesn’t guarantee his pushing strength can surpass ten tons,

However, Wang Ye can stimulate his potential in a variety of ways in emergencies,

If a normal person’s muscular strength is at most one-tenth of the bone’s bearing capacity, then after stimulating his potential, Wang Ye’s muscular strength could perhaps reach half of the bone’s bearing capacity. Wang Ye came to this conclusion because he’s repeatedly caused bone damage by exerting extreme force.

So Wang Ye speculates that after multiple evolution cycles improving its density, his muscle mass now possesses very high potential. Otherwise, he couldn’t have possibly run at subsonic speeds using technique alone. It must be known that no matter how advanced the technique, it relies on a physical foundation, a small ant can’t possibly give a human a shoulder throw just because it practiced its techniques to perfection.

The main reason why his bones evolved to their current hardness is that the hardest metal on Earth is the chromium element. If the world were the Marvel World, then his bones might very well have evolved into Adamantium or Vibranium by now.

After all, the environment determines biology, the limit of the environment also signifies the limit of organisms, no matter how much Wang Ye evolves, the hardness of his bones can’t exceed the elemental limit on Earth.

But muscles are different, muscle fibers can continuously increase in density. As long as energy supply is sufficient, and oxygen uptake is sufficient, the muscle strength limit can enhance infinitely to unbelievable levels.

Wang Ye has resolved the energy supply issue nowadays, but he has not yet completely solved the oxygen uptake issue. The current level of oxygen content on Earth no longer suffices to support him in further enhancing muscle strength. To substantially increase muscle strength, one either has to boost oxygen content, or completely alter the physiological need for breathing.

In Jurassic Park reviews, one often sees such a statement: Dinosaurs could never survive in today’s modern world, not because their combat power was insufficient, but because dinosaurs lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, where the atmospheric composition was vastly different from the present.

The oxygen content in the atmosphere during the dinosaur era was about 1.3 to 1.5 times that of modern-day, while the carbon dioxide content was 6 to 7 times that before the industrial era.
