Chapter 361 - 276: Beast Taming, Divine Eagle!
In fact, in human societies where there is almost no bloody hand-to-hand combat, over ninety percent of people have no clear understanding of their physical capabilities, believing that their gap with top athletes is less than twofold, and even think that they can wrestle with wolves and lions by just working out a bit. They are completely unaware of how fragile they actually are.
For example, when an adult male Siberian tiger hits an object with its paw, its strength can reach about 1000 kilograms; the paw strike of an adult female Siberian tiger can also reach about 800 to 900 kilograms. The destructive power of a tiger’s paw is somewhat difficult to convey just through numbers, so in other words: the power of a tiger paw is roughly equivalent to a 100 kg boulder dropping freely from a height of 5 meters.
Using the momentum theorem from high school physics, FΔt=MV’-MV, one can estimate that Δt is the time interval from when the boulder just makes contact to the cushioning phase; given that the meat pads of the tiger’s paw have a cushioning ability, this time is about 0.1 seconds, V’ is the instantaneous velocity of the boulder at first contact, approximately 10 meters/second, V is the velocity of the boulder when it stops moving, which is 0, M is the weight of the boulder, and F is the instantaneous impact force sought, which equals 10000N, or the aforementioned force of about 1000 kilograms. A small marble falling from a height can easily pierce through glass, let alone an impact force of 10000N.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that a tiger can instantly kill a person with a light swipe. Most people encounter wild animals, usually in videos or zoos. But many people feel no fear when they actually see a tiger, because most tigers in zoos are only slightly larger than humans. According to biological instincts of determining strength by size, most adults think that the force of a tiger is just that, and they might have a little chance of survival by resisting with all their might.
But even a very small-sized tiger’s strength should not be underestimated, because a tiger’s muscle density and bone density are several times that of humans, and most of their body is made up of fast muscle fibers, with their force being primarily explosive, making their force per unit volume many times that of humans.
Apart from tigers, this applies to wolves, dogs, cats, and other creatures as well. The Golden Eagle, as a bird of prey, naturally stands no less than these large land creatures.
So, many people, when raising certain large dogs, cannot even muster the strength to break free when faced with a dog slightly smaller than themselves acting cute.
Just speaking with numbers, perhaps many people still have no concept.
To give an example, Tyson, being a very renowned heavyweight boxing champion, most people should have heard his name. Tyson’s reaction speed and skills are among the top tier in humans. According to him, he once kept at least three tigers, but eventually gave up, mainly because of the tiger’s destructiveness. Tyson’s original words were: "A random slap from it can exert 1200 pounds (about 544.31 kilograms) of force." And after decades of professional training, mastering superb techniques to twist the waist and exert force, developing the explosive power of the human body to the extreme peak, Tyson’s right-hand punch power is only 800 pounds (about 362.87 kg), and his left-hand punch power is 500 pounds (about 226.80 kg).
In this way, it’s roughly possible to conclude that an ordinary tiger’s random swipe has the power equivalent to taking a double punch from Tyson.
It must be known that Tyson’s punching power is at least about five to ten times that of an average person, and an average person would perish instantly from just one of Tyson’s heavy punches, let alone enduring two simultaneous punches.
Even Wang Ye, nowadays, would have some difficulty facing a tiger head-on; only those who have no awareness of their body functions would assume that wild animals that survive by fighting with their flesh would be so vulnerable.
Wang Ye exerted a bit of effort to completely pin the Golden Eagle down to the ground, then a faint azure glow emanated from his eyes. In an instant, the Golden Eagle under him froze in motion, its muscles stiffened, as if dead.
But about 0.5 seconds later.
The Golden Eagle’s eyes gradually regained clarity, and its actions became docile,
just like a little dog, crouching under his palm.
Wang Ye knew that his Mind Control had taken effect.
So, he released his grip restraining the Golden Eagle.
The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, taking to the sky.
Yet, it didn’t fly far away, circling directly above Wang Ye.
As long as Wang Ye stretched out his arm, the Golden Eagle would perch on his arm. As soon as his gaze subtly shifted towards a certain direction, the Golden Eagle would swoop down for an attack in that direction.
The reason this Golden Eagle was so obedient and understanding was because its consciousness had formed a linear communication with Wang Ye’s consciousness. As long as Wang Ye’s consciousness emitted a strong signal, the Golden Eagle could instantly comprehend his intent and act accordingly.
"Very good, the Mind Control Ability indeed can control wild animals," Wang Ye wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It’s known that eagle trainers from nomadic tribes might have to go through seven days and nights without rest to have a chance to tame the Golden Eagle.
Furthermore, during the course of eagle training, there are significant risks; not only could the eagle trainer easily succumb to exhaustion, but the Golden Eagle, being trained, also faces life-threatening risks.
Because the Golden Eagle is a very proud and tenacious creature, it will never easily submit to others. Even if its wings were broken, it wouldn’t surrender. Only through terrifying endurance gradually wearing down the Golden Eagle’s will and completely conquering it, and then familiarizing it with the eagle trainer’s body scent could one possibly quell its inherent defiance.
Moreover, even once the eagle training is successful, it doesn’t end there.
Training the Golden Eagle and getting it to follow the eagle trainer’s commands still requires a year or more.
Initially, the eagle trainer would tie a rope to the Golden Eagle’s wing feathers, preventing it from flying too far and not returning. The eagle trainer would wear large leather gloves on their hands, releasing the Golden Eagle while holding fresh meat in their hand, emitting a special call, so upon hearing this call, the Golden Eagle would fly to their arm to eat the meat.
Afterwards, the eagle trainer would gradually release the restraining rope, letting the flying distance gradually extend until the Golden Eagle could fly a kilometer away and still accurately land on the eagle trainer’s arm, marking the completion.
At this point, upon hearing the eagle trainer’s call, the Golden Eagle would know it was being summoned, allowing the eagle trainer to give commands for the Golden Eagle to hunt.
This process takes a year or even longer, seriously testing the patience of the eagle trainer.
Even if the Golden Eagle has finally been tamed, it still retains a strong aggressiveness and wild nature, so it is customary to equip it with a special eye mask. The eye mask is only removed when needed.
Yet such a cumbersome task.
Was accomplished in half a second by Wang Ye.
Now this Golden Eagle has not only submitted to Wang Ye but can also follow commands to act at any time. There is no risk of it escaping or attacking its master.
If he could mass-tame beasts, then Wang Ye might now be able to control countless wild animals across the globe, directly bringing destruction to Earth.
Unfortunately, even though taming beasts is a painstaking task for Wang Ye as well.
Though it’s not as exhaustive as controlling humans, it still results in evident energy consumption.
If he overextends his energy, it might even damage his attribute values.
At this moment, Wang Ye suddenly discovered that the consciousness intensity among lower creatures also varies.
For example, the consciousness intensity of the Golden Eagle is evidently one of the best among wild animals, even reaching more than half that of humans.
If Wang Ye were to switch his taming target to lower intelligence creatures, such as snakes, mice, or even insects, perhaps he could significantly reduce the speed of his energy consumption. Moreover, there are usually a large number of such creatures, with perhaps millions of mice in a random city, fully sufficient for Wang Ye’s use.
