Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 351: Is this possible?
"Lin Yuan, I won't talk about the danger. From the perspective of feasibility, can it be achieved?" Director Johnston asked.

Water rafting and jumping off Niagara Falls don't sound feasible.

"You'll have to ask Meng Tao about this," Lin Yuan said.

Meng Tao took out a pair of specially made flippers from under the table and placed them on the table.

Director Johnston picked it up curiously and studied it carefully:
It looks a bit like a frog's webbed feet, but is more slender in shape. I don't know what material it is made of. After bending it a few times, I found that it has good elasticity and ductility.

The weight is also well controlled, and it feels much lighter than expected when held in the hand.

"Oak Ridge National Laboratory specially customized water running shoes according to my needs. They can amplify the buoyancy and tension of the water surface when your feet step on the water, giving you a higher chance of floating on the water," said Meng Tao.

Lin Yuan nodded. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the largest and most powerful scientific research laboratory in the United States, has now been working closely with him on multiple projects.

The most important thing is the special protective gear and weapons used in the second largest Kendo Tournament in the world.

Now we temporarily inserted a flipper requirement, and Oak Ridge Laboratory completed it with high quality and efficiency.

"With the help of these flippers, you can float on the water? This is too high-tech, right?" Director Johnston was a little skeptical.

"Of course not!" Meng Tao said, "According to laboratory calculations, if a person weighing 66 kilograms wants to float on water without wearing these flippers, they must run at a speed of 30 meters per second."

"How can humans achieve this speed?" Director Johnston said.

Of course, he can't reach that level. In his previous life, the fastest runner, Bolt, ran 100 meters in 9 seconds, which is equivalent to a speed of 58 meters per second.

This requires almost three times his speed to float on the water.

Lin Yuan's result was 9 seconds, which is equivalent to 29 meters per second.

This is still a long way off. A speed of 30 meters per second is not something humans can achieve.

The cheetah's speed is barely at this level.

"Putting on these fins can lower the speed requirement, but three conditions need to be met at the same time to achieve floating on the water," said Meng Tao.

"You tell me, and I'll see if I can do it." Lin Yuan replied.

"The first point is definitely speed. When running with fins, 100 meters must be completed within 10.5 seconds, which is equivalent to a speed of 9.5 meters per second," said Meng Tao.

"The requirements are much lower now. Lin Yuan, can you meet them?" Director Johnston asked.

Although running on the water with these shoes will definitely reduce your speed, a score of 100 seconds for 10.5 meters is not too high.

Lin Yuan nodded: "I can definitely do this, but the last two conditions are definitely not easy."

Meng Tao said: "The side effect of wearing fins is that the adhesion between the fins and the water surface will increase significantly.

Based on this fin, every time you lift your leg, you have to overcome at least ten pounds of weight. The specific amount depends on your running posture and skills.

Under these conditions, can you still run 100 meters in 10.5 seconds?"

Hearing this request, Lin Yuan's face became serious.

He knew that treading water with fins on would be more strenuous, which was common sense.

After all, when fins increase the area of ​​the sole of the foot in contact with the water, they will definitely increase the viscosity of the water surface when you pull your legs away.

This is equivalent to tying a weight of at least 10 kilograms on each of his legs.

It would be quite difficult to run 100 meters in 10.5 seconds.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan's result can reach 9 meters, and he has enough room to descend to counteract the drag caused by the weight.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan replied, "I should be able to do it. What about the third request?"

Meng Tao continued, "The third requirement is that you need to master balance far beyond that of ordinary people. When treading water, every step you take is not on solid ground, and the support of the water surface is very unstable.

So you not only have to maintain speed, but you also have to be able to perfectly control your balance and maintain your running posture. I remember that balance is a strong point for you?

When they were filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" together, the fight scene on the top of the mast allowed Meng Tao to fully witness Lin Yuan's abnormal balance, so he believed that Lin Yuan could really do it.

What he didn't know was that compared to that time, Lin Yuan's agility had increased to 24 points, and his balance was far better than before.

"I should be able to meet all three requirements simultaneously. The second one is actually the most difficult for me, but I have a solution," Lin Yuan said. "Let's try it out. We'll know whether it works or not right away." Meng Tao pointed to the swimming pool outside the conference room.

"Okay, but you wait for me first." Lin Yuan nodded.

He immediately called up his system panel:

【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 21 years old]

[Strength: 20 (Exceeded the potential limit)]

[Agility: 24]

[Physique: 20 (Has exceeded the potential limit)]

[Assignable attributes: 5]

【Legendary Talent: Life is a Drama】

[Skills: Master-level swordsmanship, master-level parkour, master-level knife throwing, master-level boxing and kicking, master-level gunmanship, master-level knife skills, master-level Japanese, master-level gymnastics, master-level driving skills, master-level aquatic sports, master-level massage, master-level running and jumping]

[Action Scene Danger Level B, Host Basic Success Rate: 83%]

The last time when he was camping with GAKKI-chan on the top of Jiuyuan Mountain in Japan, he obtained 5 attribute points given by the system, but Lin Yuan has never used them.

At this moment, he decisively added strength.

To complete this scene, he needs stronger leg strength to fight against the viscosity of the water surface when running in fins.

【Power: 20→21】

[Assignable attributes: 5 → 0]

As his strength increased, Lin Yuan felt that his muscle fiber density had once again increased dramatically.

As long as the three major attributes exceed 20 points, the substitute effect of each point will be far better than the previous several points.

After all, above 20 points, every enhancement is a further step forward after breaking through the limits of human beings.

Lin Yuan carefully felt the improvement effect. If he were asked to run 100 meters again, he should be able to reach the level of 9 seconds.

The speed has been further improved, and the leg strength has also been greatly enhanced. It should be no problem to resist the sticky force of more than ten kilograms.

After adding some, Lin Yuan took his flippers and went to the room next door to change his clothes.

Liu Yufei and the other two came to the swimming pool first and began to make preparations.

Director Johnston added a camera to record Lin Yuan's performance for a while, so that he could replay it later to find out any shortcomings.

Seeing the three people's behavior, the curious crew members gathered around:

"Are we shooting a scene in the swimming pool today? It's not in the script."

Meng Tao smiled and replied, "Let's do a little experiment. Do you want to make a bet?"

"What experiment is this? What's the bet?" asked a white field steward.

"Lin Yuan, can he run across the water with just a pair of flippers?" Meng Tao said.

"Is this something a human can do? Even a Source God can't do it! I'll bet $100 that he falls into the water!"

"I'll also bet $100 that Yuan Shen gets soaked. Sorry, idol!"

"Aha! The Source God is getting carried away! It's true that when God wants to destroy someone, he first makes them crazy. I'll also bet $100 on the Source God failing!"

Seeing that everyone was happily betting on Lin Yuan to lose, Liu Yufei walked forward unconvinced:

"I'll bet $500 that Lin Yuan is not a human being!"

　Thanks to the book friend [Long Xiaoxiao] for the reward.
