I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 218 The name of the hydraulic press is Li Ang
Of course, Le Ang did this on purpose. His purpose was not to show off, but for the ratings of the show, which was also what Dwayne Johnson and him had discussed at the beginning.

If he has a huge advantage, he can let go appropriately. This will help mobilize the emotions of the audience, make them have a deeper impression of the show, and will help improve the subsequent ratings.

Of course, it is also beneficial to Li Ang himself. The more outrageous his operations and the more exaggerated his performances are, the more people will pay attention to him. Correspondingly, the more [limit-breaking points] he will get. These are the skills he learned in the Tour de France.

Unlike Pius Yuli who was charging forward, Leon was almost strolling leisurely.

Therefore, when Leon had just walked a quarter of the entire curved platform, Pius Yuli had already pushed the wooden door in front of him.

Almost all the spectators had already decided the outcome of this round. There was already a huge difference in weight between the two men. Now he was facing the huge inertia of the wooden door. Even if he wanted to start resisting, it was too late. The only result was that he was squeezed off the platform like a rotten wood.

But facing the wooden door so close, Li Ang just bent his knees slightly, and then suddenly pushed his body forward and crashed into the wooden door.

For a moment, Pius Yuli doubted whether the wooden door he pushed here was stuck, or whether it had been pushed to the end, because he had just experienced the process of the wooden door suddenly moving from high speed to zero speed, which hurt his arm.

However, when he subconsciously looked to his side, he discovered that the wooden door had not been pushed all the way to the bottom, but had only moved forward three quarters of the distance. What was going on?
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the wooden door could be blocked by Li Ang in an instant.

At the same time, all the audience present cheered loudly.

This kind of duel was not the first time they had seen. They had also seen situations where the opponent gained the advantage first and then turned the tables. However, this was basically a case where the disadvantaged party had the weight advantage. And even then, the heavier party had to be pushed back a distance before it could stop. Where had they ever seen Li Ang stop the board so suddenly?
"How is this possible?"

A lady in the audience opened her mouth wide and looked at Li Ang on the stage with disbelief in her eyes.

"How could he suddenly stop?"

"In fact, theoretically, this is possible."

A middle-aged man sitting next to her spoke slowly.

As a high school physics teacher, this problem happened to hit the nail on the head.

"The weight of contestant Pius Uly is about 240 pounds. The weight of the wooden door is 500 pounds, so their total mass is 5 pounds. He pushed the wooden door at a speed of about meters per second. So, their combined kinetic energy is the square of the speed multiplied by half of the mass."

"In this case, if Leon wants to stop him, he has to have his kinetic energy greater than or equal to his opponent's. If Leon weighs 200 pounds, then his speed squared needs to be 2.5 times the speed squared of his opponent. A simple calculation shows that Leon has to be 1.6 times the speed of Pius Uly."

"I don't quite understand, can you express it more simply?"

The surprised woman next to him obviously didn't understand what he wanted to say.

The high school physics teacher paused and said with some emotion:
"This means that he just accelerated his speed to about 8 meters per second in just a split second. At this speed, it only takes 12.5 seconds to run meters. This is a speed that ordinary people can hardly reach, and this is definitely not the highest speed he can reach. This can only mean one thing, that is, his explosive power is quite terrifying. I think he really should change his career and try to be a sprinter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bearded uncle next to him said with emotion:

"Not only that, if the data you mentioned is roughly accurate, then you also have to consider that his body accelerated to such a great speed in an instant and endured such a great acceleration. At the same time, just a second later, his speed directly hit the wooden door and was reduced to zero. I now doubt whether his body is made of alloy, otherwise why would it be so strong."

The bearded uncle's words immediately plunged the high school physics teacher into a new round of shock, because he was just busy calculating Li Ang's speed, but ignored the consequences if Li Ang hit the wooden door on the opposite side which also had a speed.

"One is 5 meters per second, and the other is 8 meters per second. The relative speed between the two is 13 meters per second. Oh my god, this means that Li Ang hit a wooden door at a speed of 46.8 kilometers per hour. Is he really okay?"

Although these speeds were estimated by him with his naked eyes, the actual results should not be too different from the speeds he calculated.

The speed is over 40 kilometers per hour! If this car hits someone, they will definitely be sent to the hospital.

But just as they began to discuss, Li Ang used the sudden burst of power of his body to block the wooden door, and he seemed not to be affected at all, but walked forward firmly step by step.

At this time, Pius Yuli was gradually feeling desperate, because the wooden door that he was desperately holding against with his body was like a ruthless hydraulic machine, always advancing towards him at a constant speed.

It is not difficult to find out from the huge cheers from the audience that the name of the hydraulic press opposite is Li Ang.

"How is this possible? This is impossible!"

This question kept echoing in Pius Yuli's mind. He still didn't figure it out until he was pushed off the platform and his body was pulled into the air by the safety rope.

He tried various methods, including but not limited to using his body to push against the door from the front, using his back to push against the door to make his legs more powerful, and even tried to use his body to hit the door like Leon did, but none of these methods worked. Under Leon's push, the door continued to move towards him little by little.

"Let us congratulate the winner of the first game, Li Ang!"

To be honest, not only the audience in front of the TV felt heartbroken, but even Dwayne Johnson felt the same.

From the beginning when he saw Li Ang was ahead in speed and was sure of winning, to the desperate situation he faced because he did not seize the initiative, and then to the excitement of the final comeback, it must be said that he has watched so many competitions, and it is difficult to encounter a game like this one that is full of excitement and reversals.

After this game, Li Ang proved his terrifying leg strength and body explosiveness to almost everyone. But only those who have actually measured these know how outrageous the data of what Li Ang has done is.

Although his self-confidence was hit by Li Ang in the first round, Pius Uli regained his confidence in the second round.

Because the scope of the test in the second level is not closely related to leg strength, as long as I can win this round, I will have a great chance of turning the tables in the third round.

The second level is actually somewhat similar to the stone-smashing challenge that Li Ang encountered last time he participated in the game in terms of game principles.

The only difference is that last time he did it by smashing the stone to reduce its weight, so that he could lift the stone up through a pulley.

This time they have to lift a huge boat, and on the boat, there are quite a lot of weight plates piled. The process requires the contestants to remove the weight plates in order, and then evaluate their own strength to see if they can lift the boat. Whoever lifts the boat first wins.

This level first tests the contestants' grip strength, because the counterweight plates on the boat are fixed on it with screws. If the grip is not strong enough, it may be no problem to loosen the first and second screws, but later on, the palms will become numb and weak, and even unscrewing the screws will be a problem.

The second thing that is tested is the correct assessment of one’s own strength and strong physical strength.

And this strength is not only achieved by supporting the body with the legs. This movement is more like a deadlift, which requires the coordination of a considerable part of the body's muscles.

"To be honest, I originally thought that Li Ang had no chance of winning, but after watching the game just now, I am really not sure now."

"What do you think? Is it possible that the production team bribed the other contestants to let Li Ang win? After all, Li Ang is much more famous than the other contestants. If he loses, it won't be in the production team's best interest, right?"

"You're still letting him go? Didn't you see how Leon used his body to block the impact of the wooden door? People can let him go, but you can't let the data go. Regardless of whether Pius Yuli let him go or not, his speed is there, and his impact force is also certain. If Leon didn't have the skills, he would have been knocked away by this blow."

"I won't say any more. Let's move on to the next level. This level is quite interesting. Many people failed here. Many of them were overconfident and thought they could lift the weight. However, they ended up wasting too much time trying. As a result, their final time was worse than those who took a steady approach from the beginning and kept the weight within their capabilities."

Many viewers questioned Li Ang's victory, but they soon discovered that there was not much room for doubt.

Because the weight of those things, including the weight of the players, are publicly available data. It is possible that Pius Uli let go in the subsequent tug-of-war, but the moment the wooden door stopped at the very beginning was not something that could be affected by the player letting go.

Compared to the first item, the second item leaves even less room for the opposing player to let up, because essentially, this is a single-player game between two people.

Unless the organizers are completely shameless and the props provided to Li Ang are deliberately lightweight, there is a possibility of hardware cheating.

But theoretically speaking, the organizers do not have such a strong motivation at all. They would rather risk having their reputation smashed and help Li Ang win the game at all costs.

When the competition started, Li Ang did not let up this time. He followed the opponent and started tightening the screws of the upper weight plate from the beginning.

This boat-shaped platform, plus the counterweight plate on top, definitely weighs more than one ton. The force required to lift one side must be at least a 500kg deadlift.

You have to know that with this weight, even those world-class strongmen would dare to challenge it only with equipment, and at least they would have to use a power belt. If Li Ang could lift it up with his bare hands, it would definitely be an inhuman level.

This not only means that his deadlift result can break the world record, but also means that his grip strength is also the best in the world.

Because for the athletes who are trying to lift this weight, the biggest problem they encounter is not the strength of their legs, but their lack of grip strength. Their fingers cannot hold the bar at all, so they have to rely on power belts to hold it in place.

The speed at which the two of them unscrewed the screws was basically the same, which was also something Li Ang had deliberately controlled. He had already done a big job just now, so he could be a little more low-key this time.

Li Ang's mind was basically not on himself, but he was always paying attention to the progress of the opponent. He planned to challenge the opponent with the same weight, and then make his speed faster and narrowly defeat the opponent.

Finally, after taking off the third counterweight plate, Pius Uly moved. Because of the huge pressure, he also planned to challenge his own limit. If the weight was smaller, because his speed was similar to Leon's, the two of them might challenge at the same time. What if both of them pulled it up, but his speed was not as good as the other, he would lose in the end.

So Pius Uli directly chose a weight that was difficult for him to lift and that the other party definitely could not lift.

As he made the move, Li Ang also stopped what he was doing and quickly ran towards the handshake place.

When Pius Yuli saw this scene, he smiled knowingly. The opponent's rhythm was obviously disrupted under his pressure. Even if his challenge failed, the opponent had also wasted time, and they were still at the same starting line.

Li Ang started later, but because he ran faster, he reached the handhold a little ahead of him.

Then, with almost no hesitation or preparation, and even no sign of effort, Leon simply grabbed the handle and then exerted force, and the entire ship-shaped flat plate was lifted up by him.

During this process, Li Ang did not forget to estimate the weight he lifted. It was approximately between 300 kg and 295 kg. This is exaggerated for ordinary people, but for powerlifters, it is not so bad.

Li Ang, who thought he was very low-key, did not forget to look at the side after he raised his head.

An embarrassing thing happened, Pius Uli did not even lift it up.
