Survival male god

Chapter 227 Why not give it a try?

In the northern part of the plateau, there is snow all year round, and the ground is quite compact, which is caused by the trampling of animals and the wind pressure near the ground.

Chen Jing slipped and fell more than once, and in the end he had no other choice, so he took out a spare cotton sock from his backpack and put it on his shoes, which made him feel better.

The audience didn't understand.

It stands to reason that the injuries on his body haven't healed yet, so he should at least rest for a few more days.

But the wind was blowing too hard in the afternoon, and Chen Jing didn't want to stay where he was any longer.

"I didn't intend to leave in such a hurry, but the weather affected me."

"After winter, our country will usher in a cold wave every year, and Siberia is the main source of cold air."

"The polar low pressure continues to move southward, and there will definitely be snowstorms in the near future. In comparison, the air in the central and southern regions is wetter than that in the north, so the snow here will be even greater."

"The closer I am to the northern tundra, the less affected I will be by the snowstorm. Within three days, I have to advance at least a hundred kilometers. It is best to go directly out of the coniferous forest."

"Look, animals are also migrating north, and the snow in the south is getting heavier, and it will be more difficult for them to get food. It's better to go to the tundra to live, where a lot of vegetation is exposed on the ground, and the thickness of the snow is not even moderate. So deep in the South."

"Although it sounds strange, nature is so amazing. The closer to the northern polar circle, the thinner the snow cover is. Only near the true poles will there be thick glaciers."

Chen Jing pointed to the reindeer footprints on the ground, and then moved on.

He was wearing a thick bearskin coat and only used his right hand to pull the sled board, which was covered with cut bear meat, as well as his backpack, crock, obsidian ax and sword, and two bundles of wood, and half a bottle of home-brewed vodka spirits.

Chen Jing was not willing to drink this stuff, and planned to use it at the end of the challenge to celebrate.

"These things are too heavy. One piece weighs almost two hundred catties. If there are wild sled dogs in Siberia, I must catch two to pull the cart for me."

Chen Jing complained that because of these burdens, his forward speed was greatly reduced, it can be said that he was slower than walking in the swamp.

But nothing can be given away, and in this environment, any resource is quite precious.

It's six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's about to get dark.

Chen Jing stopped, and the surrounding vegetation became more sparse, and some lonely trees could only be seen after a long distance.

There is less and less wood to be found, and the ground is obviously not suitable for building shelters.

"I might have to live in a snow cave for the rest of the time."

"To survive in the ice and snow of Siberia, if you don't have tents and places to camp, then you must learn to dig snow holes."

"But there are skills in making such a temporary shelter."

"It's not just a matter of just digging one!"

"So there are so many people present, can anyone tell me what should be paid attention to when digging a snow cave?"

In fact, with Chen Jing's current status, people would believe anything he said.

The reason why he asks questions is that besides interacting with the audience, he also wants to know whether there are other theoretical skills besides the methods he has mastered.

However, the result was in line with expectations, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty faltered, but couldn't explain why.

It's normal to think about it, the survival skills in the wilderness have been severely out of stock in the past hundred years.

Without demand, naturally no one will study it, let alone inherit it.

Just like in the last life, at least seven out of ten outdoor adventurers knew how to build a snow cave shelter, and even some "cloud adventurers" who only watched live broadcasts and documentaries, survival enthusiasts, also knew a lot of relevant knowledge .

However, in the reborn world, everything has changed.

In such a huge live broadcast room, with hundreds of thousands of viewers, including some fans and water friends with outdoor camping experience, no one can tell the skill of digging snow caves.

There are not many people who have the experience of surviving in extremely harsh environments. Even if someone challenges to climb the peak, they are fully equipped and can set up camp when they arrive. There is no need to consider such things.

"Well, it seems that the anchor still overestimated everyone, haha..."

"Since you won't, then listen carefully and remember every word I say."

Squatting on the ground and making a snowdrift with his hands, Chen Jing began to explain.

"The first thing to note is that the snow cave should be dug on the mountainside where there is heavy snow, and it must be on the windward side, not on the back."

"Everyone may be a little confused. Don't we usually build shelters on the leeward side? The purpose is to shelter from the wind and rain. Why do we dig snow holes on the windward side instead?"

"The reason is very simple!"

"First we need to know how the airflow moves when it encounters a hillside."

"When the low-pressure cold wind hits a low hill, it will climb up the slope, and then climb over the top of the mountain and slide down to the back slope. The snow is not a solid body. In strong winds, there is a chance of landslides and avalanches."

"Especially if its internal structure is damaged, it is more prone to this situation."

"So this is why we are determined not to dig snow caves on back slopes, and the same is true on flat areas."

"On the windward slope, even if there is a strong wind, the snow will fly upwards, similar to the sand dunes. As for the method of avoiding the cold wind, it is also very simple."

"After we dug a passage, we turned directly to the left or right to continue digging the cavern, and we needed to dig deeper, raising it by about half a meter or more."

"Then divide it into two sides to dig, one side is used as a rest platform, and the other side is used as a stove, and a fire is fired on the lower side for cooking. The warm air will always keep flowing above the cave."

"Many people may think that living in a snow cave will be colder, but in fact, it is much warmer than being in a tent on the surface."

"It's just that the snow on the ground wasn't thick enough for the first two days, and I couldn't dig a snow hole. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up that tent on the first day."

"Another detail that needs attention is that the wall of the snow cave must be at least [-] centimeters thick, but not too thick."

"Otherwise, once it really collapses, people are buried in the snow when they are asleep, and they probably won't have the strength to struggle out."

"There are so many things to pay attention to. Let me ask you, is it very simple?"

"Okay, that's all for now, let's see how I operate it!"

After Chen Jing found a suitable spot, he took a wooden stake from the sleigh cart and began to dig out the snow hole.

This kind of thing is also quite exhausting. It took him nearly an hour to barely create the prototype of the snow cave, and he was slightly sweating.

Next, it took another half an hour to repair the sleeping platform and stove, and it was already dark.

"Leave a vent, put a bearskin blanket on, and you're done!"

"Take a break and make our big meal."

"I decided to reward myself with char-grilled bear ribs and mashed potatoes tonight, and a cup of hot birch leaf tea."

Chen Jing was lying on the sleeping table, wrapped in a bearskin jacket, his face was full of enjoyment.

The light from the searchlight illuminated the entire snow cave crystal-clearly. It wasn't dark and cold here, and it was even warm.

"There is no more comfortable time than now. The happiness of survivors lies in obtaining a short time of ease after going through hardships. Right now, I don't have to think about anything. No matter when the blizzard comes, it won't affect me."

"Because I'm in the warmth and comfort of a snow cave shelter, and there's plenty of bear meat and potatoes."

"This is so cool!"

"Hahaha……"

Chen Jing let out a hearty laugh, and the audience was infected, and inadvertently raised the corners of their mouths.

The happiness of a man is sometimes as simple as that.

……

In China, it is already late at night.

At the moment, the China Meteorological Research Headquarters is extremely busy.

Just because an hour ago, the base received a message from the Polar Research Center.

At 22:16 on the afternoon of the 43nd, when three staff members of the Arctic Circle Polar Research Center went out to collect data, the glacier suddenly melted, the equipment was flooded, and the personnel lost contact. Four hours later, the headquarters received a report from the personnel left behind at the base. S.O.S.

The materials carried by the missing persons are only enough to last for a few days, but the rescue work is much more difficult than imagined.

It takes a long process to report to each level and issue approval documents.

Although the Arctic Circle is an international public territory, it takes as short as ten days or as long as half a month for domestic action teams to go there. Simply put, rescue operations are almost impossible.

Li Guofeng, the director of the research department, is currently convening relevant personnel for an emergency discussion meeting.

However, the meeting went on for more than half an hour, and still no one proposed a practical and reliable rescue plan.

"Director Li, this kind of situation is really too rare. When our polar research center was built, we didn't take this kind of situation into consideration at all."

"The Arctic glaciers melted, the exploration sites were disintegrated, and after the personnel lost contact, there were no complete rescue measures. It may be too late for us to send people there now."

An old researcher with gray hair spoke.

"I think Mr. Wu is right."

"Yeah, there is no way to rescue..."

Many people joined in.

Li Guofeng frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Did you just give up like this? Those little comrades have been stationed for three years, and how much data they have contributed to the base. Seeing that the research work is coming to an end, how can the base ignore them when they are in danger."

"Think again!"

The staff members sent to the Polar Research Center have been selected through layers of selection, have excellent ability, endure hardships and stand hard work, and their average age is no more than 40 years old. They are all real backbone talents.

Losing one, Li Guofeng felt very distressed.

That is a group of children who really do practical things for the country and the people.

Although those who can go there are all prepared to dedicate their lives to the cause of the country at any time.

But it doesn't make sense for the base to just give up like this.

Hearing Li Guofeng's words, everyone present was a little silent.

They really can't think of a way.

And when the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, a young man suddenly raised his right hand in the corner.

"Director Li, I have a suggestion..."

Li Guofeng cast his gaze over, and the one who raised his hand was a new researcher at the research base, only 26 years old, and also a student of Dr. Wu Lijie, named Zhuo Ziang.

"Xiao Zhuo? Tell me."

Zhuo Ziang nodded and replied:
"According to what you said just now, it is simply unrealistic for our country to send rescue, and the time is too late."

"Then why don't we send aid closer?"

When the rest of the people heard this sentence, their eyes suddenly lit up.

However, Li Guofeng shook his head.

"Although there are many countries and regions close to the Arctic Circle, most of them simply don't have the ability to build research centers in the polar regions. Secondly, we don't have the political influence to request rescue from neighboring countries."

"To put it simply, the surrounding European countries, including North America, are absolutely unwilling to take such a big risk to help us rescue the missing people."

"There are other……"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Ziang's voice sounded again.

"No, you misunderstood. What I mean is that there is someone in the northern plateau of Siberia, which is very close to the Arctic Circle. If it is him, there may be a way to help us find the missing person in the shortest possible time."

"what?"

"you are right?"

Li Guofeng and others were taken aback, while old Dr. Wu Lijie seemed to have thought of something, and looked at his apprentice with bulging eyes.

"Zi Ang, how can you talk nonsense on such a big matter? Put your hopes on ordinary people. Once something goes wrong, it will be a bad thing for both parties."

The old doctor guessed something.

The others became even more curious. Li Guofeng raised his palm, shook his head at Wu Lijie, and signaled Zhuo Ziang to continue.

Encouraged by the leader, the latter walked up to the podium with courage and turned on the computer and projector.

"The person I'm talking about, all colleagues and seniors should have heard of it, is the outdoor adventurer who once won the Blue Star Guardian Award-Chen Jing!"

"he?"

Li Guofeng's eyes froze, and he nodded immediately. He had indeed heard of this person named Chen Jing, not only because of the award.

And in the middle of last year, this kid predicted the El Niño phenomenon in advance, so that the country could prepare for drought and flood prevention, which at least saved tens of billions of economic losses for the country.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party was actually in Siberia.

"I've heard of him. That kid is quite powerful, but rescue and adventure are two different things. Moreover, he may not be willing to take such a risk."

Li Guofeng thought a lot, and his ideas coincided with Old Wu's, and he didn't want to drag ordinary people into this kind of thing.

Zhuo Ziang pressed furiously on the keyboard.

Chen Jing's personal information and deeds were soon displayed on the projection screen.

"He is not an ordinary person. He is very professional in rescue. He is not only capable, but also proficient in various emergency rescue methods and common sense."

"And he once went deep into the Qinling Mountains and successfully rescued a girl who was trapped deep in the mountains and lost her way."

"I believe he is absolutely capable of carrying out rescue work, as for whether he is willing to take risks."

Zhuo Ziang smiled slightly and said:

"Why don't we try it? It might be the only way!"

　Thank you for the reward of 5000 point coins, thank you for your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, I love you so much, okay?
