Live Wilderness Adventure

The helicopter, which had a good atmosphere, suddenly became silent. Jarrett and the others looked at each other, and suddenly shivered.

Saito Tomomibu put on his shoes and socks silently, and said the longest paragraph after the meeting: "Unexpected situations will not only cause you to lose your toes, but also your life, and your blood will be full of blood. The snow and ice gradually solidified at the altitude and turned into blood crystals.”

"Even though the mortality rate of climbing Mount Everest has dropped from 14.8% ten years ago to 4.4% today, this is the mortality rate for all climbers, many of whom just gave up at C1C2. The higher the chance of death."

"I have been climbing since 13 years. I stopped at 7,400 meters that year, because I saw a corpse in front of me. At that time, my brain was severely hypoxic, maybe I was frightened. I retired, and I failed in the next 14 years and 15 years. My luck was not very good. I encountered an avalanche during the 2014 window. In 2015, there was a big earthquake in Nepal, and it was another big avalanche. No one succeeded for the whole year. to the top."

Saito said it was normal, suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw the boundless sky after reaching the top, and after a while, he continued in his stiff accent: "After that, I never again. I've been here before, but this year I'm here again, this is my fourth Everest climb, and my 40th birthday is coming up, and I hope to get the summit as my birthday present. I heard from Rob that you haven't even climbed On a mountain of 7,000 meters, the body function of the human body does not work at the flight altitude of a Boeing 747. Once you reach the C4 camp in the South Col of Mount Everest, your body will slowly die."

"Ha, how is that possible."

Withers laughed, thinking of the atmosphere of breaking the silence, but unfortunately, except that he thought there was no one else laughing, Saito stared at Withers blankly.

The laughter faded, Withers clenched his fists to cover his face in embarrassment, and after coughing twice, Saito's voice sounded again: "You can believe it, I stopped in front of death the first time I climbed a mountain, even if my thinking was too stagnant. It's normal at all, but I can feel it, clearly, that Death is sitting right in front of me, so close that I can hear his breathing."

"Mount Everest is a game, a game to see if you can reach the top of the mountain and return before your body dies. If you win, you will conquer the world's number one mountain. If you lose, your body will turn into this tombstone. a part of."

"Gudu."

Yao Jun and Wang Yongbo swallowed their saliva at the same time, their foreheads were sweating slightly, and their hands and feet were even more sore. It sounded terrible...

Is it too late to go back now?

Even the audience in the live broadcast room was a little confused. Although Saito's English was very loose and his accent was very heavy, the subtitle translation was very accurate. Listening to this, it seemed that Bi Fang was not going to climb a mountain, but a tombstone. .

Suddenly, a hand clapped on the shoulders of the two of them, and the two of them shivered for a while, sweat dripped down their foreheads, and Bi Fang's voice sounded: "What are you panicking, did you get to the top? You two can get to C2. It's amazing, C4 or something, don't even think about it."

"Huaxia people, you want to climb to the top without oxygen?" Saito watched coldly, staring straight at Bi Fang beside him.

Bi Fang raised his eyebrows, looked straight at Saito, and even raised his jaw: "It's me."

Saito stared at Bi Fang silently, without saying a word, everyone was confused by the two, so it was not until three minutes later that Saito avoided his eyes.

"I hope you can come back alive."

"I will bring back the snow from the summit."

…

Half an hour later, the helicopter crossed the mountain and shuttled to a small airport. The helicopter slowly landed on the runway. Rob jumped off the plane first, covered his hat, and pointed to the surrounding roads.

"Before Lucara Airport was built, it was a rock and shrubbery. After Edmund Hillary got a land permit, he hired 100 locals to build the airport. Walking on the runway, stepping on the ground and compacting the ground, the airport was built in December 1964 and has been serving this area since then. Until today, there are no roads in Lukla, and all living materials rely on Lukla Airport for transshipment "In 2001, Lucara had an asphalt runway, but the airport is still dangerous. You see, even this runway is uneven and very steep."

Bi Fang fell on the ground, and immediately felt the unevenness of the ground, and the overall **** was very large!

"At least more than 15 degrees, this is a very scary angle on the road, let alone an airplane, and..." Bi Fang squatted down halfway and took the first-person view of what he saw. Show it to everyone.

Through the line of sight, the audience not only saw the terrifying slope, but even the ups and downs!

【wipe? Is this the **** airstrip? 】

【I feel terrified when I drive a car】

[Ace driver, request to fight! 】

[As expected of the most dangerous airports. 】

Rob on the side greeted the local residents to carry their luggage, and then came over and smiled: "Yes, the **** of the runway is 18.5 degrees, the **** is quite large, and it is undulating, which is rare in the world, and this alone qualifies it to be the most dangerous. one of the airports.”

"I just observed the pilots and found that this airport seems to be flying only by sight, that is, looking for it completely by eye. There is no DME, no ILS, not even approach lights and PAPI lights.

Moreover, the turbulence of the aircraft during flight is also more obvious, and the side flight is heavier. It should be that the airport is located in the high mountains and deep valleys. The wind along the valley makes the aircraft must fight against the continuous crosswind when taking off and landing.

In addition, the generation, accumulation and transportation of water vapor in the valley also make the visibility of the airport unpredictable. No wonder it is so dangerous, which is very demanding for the driver. "

A bunch of professional terms in the front made the audience a little dizzy, but the translations at the back were all normal Chinese, which did not prevent them from understanding.

Can you see so much in a helicopter?

[Fuck, can the **** feel this? 】

[Strange knowledge has been increased, and Fangshen's skill panel has been increased by one]

[Isn't Lao Fang still flying a helicopter? 】

[Almost forgot that Lao Fang is still an ace special forces soldier, Nima's, maybe he really will? 】

"I don't know how to drive, but I still know a little bit." Bi Fang laughed, took off all the backpacks on the ground and saluted, looking at the mountains hidden in the clouds in the distance, he pointed boldly, "Here, it is The starting point of Mount Everest, from now on, we are officially on the road!"

Although Jarrett and the photographer were still shocked by Mount Everest in the mist, they did not forget their serious work. They quickly took the equipment out, activated the drone and the camera, and entered the working state in seconds.

Taking aerial photos of the entire airport, the view from the high altitude is even more serious. This is completely a cliff. There are no fences on both sides of the runway, just cliffs!

The two of them were dumbfounded. They actually landed on such a runway?

The lord, who got off the plane, looked at the mountains in the distance, and was also excited. His old face was indescribably rosy, as if he was a few years younger again.

Yao Jun on the side took out something like PHS from the inner lining, pressed it a few times, and a fluctuating data suddenly appeared in front of everyone: "Altitude 2845! Altitude 2845!"

【What it is? 】

【Are you an altimeter? 】

"Yes, an altitude measuring instrument." Bi Fang reached out and took the instrument in Yao Jun's hand and showed it to everyone, "This one is equipped with a GPS, which will continuously emit signals, and then provide accurate positioning, but the accuracy It is limited, and there may be a certain error, so there will probably be an error of about one meter."

"Hey, there is actually a signal here?" Wang Yongbo took out his mobile phone and suddenly found that there was still a signal here, which was different from what he imagined.

"What age do you think it is?" Bi Fang rolled his eyes, "Our country installed a new cell phone signal base station 19 kilometers away from the summit of Mount Everest. You can make a phone call from the top of the mountain, and British mountaineer Rod Barber was the first man to make a phone call from the top of Mount Everest."

Speaking of which, Bi Fang took out something like a walkie-talkie from his bag and shook it in front of the camera.

“In the beginning, climbers on Mount Everest mainly communicated with the ground through Morse code. Since then, shortwave radio and satellite phones have replaced it as the common means of alpine radio communication. But the former has limited range, and the latter is expensive and susceptible to weather.

Compared with other means of communication, one of the biggest advantages of mobile phones is that they are cheap. As far as alpine communication is concerned, however, shortwave radio is still the most reliable means, but some low-cost expedition groups cannot provide radio equipment to their members. This is what the guide company just prepared for us, I checked it and it is of high quality. Don't lose it, preferably in the lining.

You must know that in 2007, four Italian climbers who participated in the cheap mountaineering team encountered danger near the summit of Mount Everest. They had to use expensive satellite phones to call back to Italy for help. The four Italian climbers survived because they received oxygen supplements in time with the help of the mountaineering team organizer, the Experience Himalayas Mountaineering Company, which Barber joined. The 'Experience the Himalayas' climbing company usually charges each climber £20,000.

Generally speaking, a mountaineering company with only 10,000 ugly knives is not so reliable, and everyone should be careful when choosing. "

Hearing the familiar case, Yao Jun and the others immediately took out the walkie-talkie and carefully placed it in the lining for personal protection.

【Redefine cheap】

[I can't even afford the money from cheap companies, grandma's, I'm so pissed]

[I feel like I’m numb now, Fang Shenshan alone costs 65,000 ugly knives, and any mountaineering company costs 20,000 pounds. I wonder if inflation didn’t take me, or why would everyone make a move? It's just dozens of W, and I was sad for a long time when I bought five potato cakes in the morning. 】

"Okay everyone, have you packed up your salutes? We should go now!"

Seeing that everyone was ready, Rob, who was at the forefront, clapped his hands, and the mule, who was hunched over everyone's luggage, immediately began to move forward.

"Transportation here is inconvenient, so the mode of transportation is still relatively primitive. We basically rely on mules to move things. It takes about six or seven days to travel from Lucara to Mount Everest Base Camp, and then we will walk from Lucara for about three and a half hours. To Fakeding, from the altitude of 2840 to 2610, the first drop of 200 meters, but will make up soon." Bi Fang patted the mule beside him and explained, "The good news is that the altitude of this journey is It's all under 3,000 meters, and generally speaking, healthy people will not experience altitude sickness."

At this time, it was eleven o'clock, and the sun had risen to a higher position. After two hours, Bi Fang was so hot that he even started to sweat.

After crossing a narrow and short bridge in the air, perhaps because the humidity in the mountains was too high, the path became muddy, and the road was crowded with trekkers, mules and horses, monks in red robes, and barefoot Sherpas bent over by wood.

"I found that climbing Mount Everest doesn't seem to be as poetic as in the story. You can see that the entire road is covered with livestock excrement, and I even feel that the ground is not a dirt road at all, but a dung road. Say it like this Maybe it’s a bit exaggerated, but you really have to pay attention to every step, because there are really too many teams of cattle, horses, and donkeys here. But as you can see, the scenery on both sides is still good, and the roadside is full of yellow flowers , it's exactly the same as what we saw on the plane, it's really beautiful."

Bi Fang squatted down and held up a small flower. The water vapor from the mountain rushed towards his face, and the sea of ​​clouds turned into a drizzle here, so that every leaf of every plant was covered with water droplets. The florets also appear brightly colored.

"It looks a bit like a rhododendron, but I don't know which one it is. There are also small yellow flowers there, but I don't know either."

Bi Fang shook his head regretfully. There are thousands of animals and plants in the world. Although he can identify most of them now, not every one can be accurately identified as genus and species, especially plants, which can only be roughly distinguished. Rhododendron family, the specific kind of Rhododendron does not know, maybe a professional botanist can know.

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded in everyone's ears, very familiar: "This is the yellow squamous cuckoo, and there is Jin Lumei over there."

Beside Bi Fang, the lord also squatted down, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and also held up a small yellow flower, looking at it carefully.

"Haha, I almost forgot, this time I was with the Lord!" Bi Fang scratched his head, but he almost went, and there was a great **** beside him!

When it comes to the recognition of animals and plants, there are few people in the world who can compare to Attenborough!

"Squamous rhododendrons generally grow at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and they are similar here, and if I'm not wrong, there should be pink bristle rhododendrons further up."

Lord Sir pointed to the upper peak in the clouds, and the photographer on the side let the drone continue to fly high, then adjusted the focus and checked the picture through the computer screen.

Slowly, a touch of pink suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

Actually there is?

Bi Fang was taken aback. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy!

Even the wild flowers you encounter on the roadside can be recognized even in the genus?

Rhododendron is just a small episode. Apart from interacting with the audience, the team's progress has been very fast. Fortunately, with the help of mules, old people like Sir can keep up.

The journey into the mountains is not insignificant. There are many Sherpa clan villages in the Himalayas, such as Namu City, a small town in front of Bi Fang and others.

Namm City hangs like a huge and sloping disk-shaped satellite on the hillside of the dangerous slope, and the paths between the houses are like a maze.

There are normal human society and hotels and other service industries in the city. Bi Fang and others stayed in Namu City that night.

The next few days are the real hard times.
