Vol 7 Chapter 425: Human courage?

I was so upset, everyone was ready to rest. This is a camp at 5,900 meters above sea level. Because a lot of materials are carried by robot guides, the three of them didn't have any physical strength, and they had a little energy to talk and laugh.

A full moon hangs in the sky, looming under the cover of clouds and fog. Zhang Yuan was breathing the cool and thin air at the top of the mountain, and suddenly found that he remembered less and less the world of the former Kunlun Mountains.

This cherry blossom world ... how to say, it's good-if used to this leisurely day. It is difficult for a person to completely change the entire era. There is no such thing as perfection in the world. Since you are here, you should spend your whole life.

I don't know for any reason. The average life expectancy of humans here is only 110 years old. There is not much life extension technology, and there is no so-called hibernation technology.

There is only one life in a human being. How to spend it more meaningfully is a complex philosophical issue.

"Even how to define 'meaning' is difficult to explain."

I was so confused, Zhang Yuan fell asleep and made a uniform breathing sound.

醒 Waking up the next day, I saw the smiling face of Wang Nana as soon as I opened my eyes. This girl who is a few days younger than him is always so energetic.

"Good morning!" Wang Nana greeted.

"Good morning!" Zhang Yuan responded.

It was Ma Mingtao's rammed goods. He didn't seem to sleep well. He was ashamed and was breathing oxygen with his head covered. His chest fell together and he was almost out of breath.

"Spicy chicken!" Wang Nana laughed.

"Go! Wait a minute and don't let me carry you!" Ma Mingtao squinted his eyes, and with the help of a large amount of oxygen, he soon breathed out.

"If you walk away, you will have Zhang Yuan's back! The pig who can't climb up is the pig!"

"Then say ..."

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and enjoyed this kind of equality of affection mode very much. "Speak less and save some energy. I won't do it at that time, and call her!"

He pointed to a green-eyed robot girl.

The whole process of climbing Everest takes 4 days.

Camp 1 is the physical “material supply station” before going to the West Comb Ice Bucket and Camp 2, and then to Camp 3 and Camp 4.

In the past, mountaineering teams usually searched for Tibetan guides, and carried them all together to carry the supplies to Camp No. 4 at an altitude of 7950 meters.

But now it is not used anymore. The robot guide has strength and carries a lot of oxygen and various thermal equipment, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of climbing.

The next Xicum ice bucket is in the shape of a "u", like a large valley, covered with ice, and it is the boundary between Mount Everest, Luozi Peak and Nubce Mountain.

Mt. Everest is located in the north, and going straight ahead is Luozi Peak, and the Nubutze Mountain is directly south. Although the Xikum ice bucket is flat, it is still in danger.

"First of all, it is difficult and high temperature. In this high land above 6000 meters above sea level, because the surrounding area is blocked by" high walls "made of ice and snow, once the sunlight on the plateau is reflected, the temperature can easily reach 37 degrees Celsius, followed by the hypoxia reaction , And the risks of exhaustion. "

"Do you know what previous climbers saw most here?" The robot guide is a young and lively girl who can still talk at an altitude of 7000 meters.

However, Zhang Yuan felt that he was out of breath. At this height, the oxygen content was only one third of that under normal conditions, which was definitely a great test for the body and mind.

"What is it?" Ma Mingtao asked tremblingly, "I feel like I'm going to die, so I want to go home."

"... It's a human body!" The tour guide explained to herself: "The climbers of the past had no energy, lack of oxygen, or encountered a sudden change in climate, so they suddenly fell down and died silently. And their The companion did not have enough strength to carry a dead body down the mountain, so he could only throw the dead body in the snow. "

这些 "These bodies have become ice sculptures and will not rot for thousands of years. As a result, with the accumulation of time, more and more corpses on Everest have become an ecological pollution."

Zhang Yuan shuddered, feeling like listening to a horror story. He wiped the sweat on his face, looked around, and did not see the so-called body.

The guide girl said, "... In the past, almost every mountain climbing team on Everest had Sherpas guides. They were a special ethnic group in the high-altitude mountains of the southern foot of the Himalayas. Mountain climbing ability. Many times their job is to carry a body down ... "

"Of course, this is for money ..."

The next thing is of course simple. With the progress of the times, the Sherpa people also live a wealthy life, and there is no need to work for money.

All the relevant corpses were also cleaned up by robots. These poor explorers were buried for thousands of years and finally returned to their roots.

In the end, people even forgot the names of these explorers.

"It's not worth the loss of life because of mountain climbing. Is it to prove the courage of human beings?" This question has been lingering in Zhang Yuan's heart.

Sometimes his breath is out of breath, and he will have regrets like Ma Mingtao. This is the instinct of human beings to take advantage of obstacles and avoid harm.

There is also a related small city at the foot of Laoshan. The social public support system is similar, but the cultural aspect is very different.

Mountain climbing is a belief in this city.

I also encountered several mountaineering teams along the way. When the two sides passed by, they greeted each other with kindness and even asked if they needed help.

The robot guide in front gave the three Zhang Yuan enough sense of security, otherwise they would be very strenuous.

The official summit started at midnight ~ www.readwn.com ~ From Camp 4, starting on the climb of the south **** of Mount Everest, after reaching the stairs at 8384 meters above sea level, turn to the west side of the summit, and you can A final climb to the south **** of the roof of the world.

Zhang Zhang felt that he was out of breath, and every few steps he had to stop to inhale oxygen, this climbing had become a pain. The mild symptoms of altitude sickness all came up, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness. He felt that he had Venus in his eyes and could feel dizzy at any time.

If you really faint, you may kill your life directly.

This is also the most dangerous place, and climbers fall everywhere.

明 Ma Mingtao and Wang Nana are equally ugly and terrible. Wang Nana, who has always been active, has not spoken for a long time, but she is complexion and keeps her strength as much as possible. Although the robot guide helped her a lot, it was still a bit unsustainable.

"Inexplicably a little regret, people are really fragile and want to go home." Taking advantage of the last rest, Ma Mingtao whispered.

"Yeah, once you are in pain, you will regret it."

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "Then you turn down the mountain and feel comfortable, and then regret not going up the mountain. This remorse may last for decades or even a lifetime."

"No, you can be wrong." The guide girl said: "Knowing your limits is a wise choice. If everyone has the courage to go down the mountain, the number of deaths will not be so much. This girl may I've reached my limit, it's better to take a little oxygen first. "
