Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 380: High altitude air is not hypoxic

"My God, how long will it take?"

In the hotel, Yao Jun collapsed on the bed, took off his shoes, and walked all day. His feet were tired and swollen, and now he just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

"Huo, put your shoes outside, why is it so smelly?" Bi Fang slapped his nose. He hadn't smelled such a smell for a long time. He immediately pulled Yao Jun to get up from the bed and asked him to put his shoes out of the window. .

"As for it?" Yao Jun got up embarrassed and put his shoes and socks outside the house.

Bi Fang shook his head helplessly: "You're not the only one here, and my nose is much more sensitive than ordinary people, and I can't stand it."

They are all in the mountains. They are hotels. In fact, they are just a few small earthen huts. Don’t even think about single compartments. There are earthen kangs in one room, which can sleep at least four people.

At this time, Bi Fang and others were surrounded by one room, and the guide and several others were in another room, all waiting for the owner to bring dinner.

Bi Fang picked up a hot towel and washed his face. Then he carried a small horse and sat around the yard to bake a fire. The temperature in the mountains fluctuated greatly. Although the weather was still a little hot at noon, it became cold at night. Even had to put on a thin cotton jacket.

When his fingers warmed up, Bi Fang said: "Today, everyone is walking on the first day, and everyone's speed is different, which causes the team to drag a little long. How to adjust the appropriate pace will be something we will study tonight. Is there anyone who feels that they can’t keep up with the topic today? Or can keep up, but they feel very tired? To be honest, tell me as soon as possible if you have a reaction, although the altitude sickness at a position of 3000 meters may not be high, but it is not impossible. And Sir, I haven't heard your words to rest all day today, so don't push yourself hard."

Attenborough laughed: "You think too much, but I have always been at the forefront of the team, whether it is mountains or rainforests, I have hiked more than a long way, don't underestimate me too much, I was a while ago. I hiked twelve kilometers on the grassland."

Seeing that there was no problem with the Lord, even with a red light on his face, Bi Fang looked at Wang Yongbo and the others: "How about you?"

Everyone shook their heads, only Wang Yongbo scratched his head: "I can't keep up with walking today, and my heart feels weird, like being pinched by a hand, is it a precursor to the Gaoshan reaction?"

Bi Fang frowned: "How about you, do you have this reaction too?"

Everyone shook their heads, but Jarrett and the photographer on the side raised their hands. Indeed, they didn't react just now, but now that they think about it, they seem to have the same reaction.

These people have had medical examinations before they came, and their bodies are free of any diseases.

"Maybe a precursor."

Wang Yongbo and others were stunned for a moment, and then they became worried, but they actually had altitude sickness at 3000 meters? What's next on the road?

"It's okay, since there is no problem with the physical examination, then there is no need to worry too much. As long as there is no disease, most people are fine for three or four kilometers, and many people are just psychological reactions. I suspect that you are just exercising too much today. From 1,000 to 3,000 meters, the helicopter is directly connected, and the altitude has risen a bit fast, but I haven’t fully adapted to it. It’s good to have a good rest tonight.”

Wang Yongbo is a bit wide, but not fat enough. As for Jarrett and the photographer, Bi Fang suspects that the equipment is just too heavy, because they have to carry the equipment, and even if there are livestock to help, each of them should be at least I brought nearly five kilograms of heavy objects, and the high reaction was probably caused by excessive exercise.

After thinking for a while, Bi Fang came up with a plan: "In this way, tomorrow I will ask Rob to find two porters to help you carry your backpack. Eat more cheese and chocolate tonight, high-calorie foods are good for fighting high, wait a minute. Let Rob buy some water again, and leave early tomorrow morning, you should drink water all the time, at least 4L of water, 8 bottles of Nongfu Spring or something, take a small sip, and keep the frequency of going to the toilet every half an hour. That will probably be fine.”

"Drinking water?" Wang Yongbo was taken aback, "Does it work?"

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also very curious. They could understand that they could find someone to carry things in front of them. Drinking water can cure high reaction?

[Is this not a big water ratio? 】

[I remember that there is no medicine for high anti-virus to take? 】

[Yes, isn't it Rhodiola? 】

Unexpectedly, Bi Fang shook his head directly: "It's useless, those drugs really don't work. In fact, most of the anti-high drugs are placebos, which may be able to alleviate the high reaction, but there is no clinical practice at all. The test can prove that, as for Rhodiola, I have not seen any authoritative scientific proof, but the Olympic Games have listed it as a doping drug.

"Also, do you think the oxygen content at high altitudes is lower?"

Bi Fang looked at everyone and found that everyone nodded, everyone thought so.

His Excellency was also surprised: "Isn't it? Isn't altitude sickness caused by the thinness of oxygen at high altitudes?"

"Wrong." Bi Fang shook his head again. This was the second time he shook his head in a short period of time. "From sea level to an altitude of 100,000 meters, the oxygen content in the air is about 21%."

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

Isn't this common knowledge?

[Is Lao Fang also highly antithetical (funny), his consciousness is no longer clear. 】

Bi Fang rolled his eyes. His current maximum oxygen uptake is at least 80. Such a person would suffer from altitude sickness at an altitude of 3,000 meters, unless he has heart disease, blood disease, cerebrovascular disease, and other types of diseases. Respiratory diseases, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and uncontrolled diabetes, with many debuffs, are likely to be highly counterproductive.

"There is no lack of oxygen in the plateau air! It's people who lack oxygen in the plateau. Have you ever been on a plane? Its engine is essentially an internal combustion engine. If the plateau environment is 'lack of oxygen', then the aircraft engine cannot normally burn fuel to generate power to support flight. , the passengers in the cabin will also be at risk of suffocation, and in fact thousands of passengers take civil aircraft to fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters every day is safe. If the oxygen content in the plain area is 21%, at high altitudes, most of the time , the proportion of oxygen is also 21%, which means that there is no lack of oxygen in the atmospheric environment. The proportion of oxygen does not change at all.”

"Then why would it be so high?"

"It's the air pressure." Bi Fang didn't answer the riddle, and gave the reason bluntly, "At an altitude of 4,270 meters, the oxygen pressure is only 58% of the sea level. Therefore, although the relative proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere has not changed, due to the air Thinner, the absolute amount of oxygen becomes smaller, which leads to hypoxia."

"When our human body goes to the plateau, the demand for oxygen is the same as that of the plain. The lower absolute oxygen content of the plateau means that we need to breathe more air to obtain oxygen. Our breathing and heartbeat must be accelerated. The amount of oxygen you can get in one breath is two breaths at a plateau.”

The effect of improving VO2 max is the second, the utilization rate of oxygen is higher, others need to breathe many times to maintain oxygen intake on the plateau, but Bi Fang is still enough, the only difference is probably the expansion of the thoracic cavity. will be bigger.

"Breathing is very easy to consume water. I told everyone in the desert that it is better to breathe through the nose instead of the mouth, so that there is less water loss. Because of the greater frequency and amplitude of breathing, we will lose a lot of water, which makes us more Plain areas are more dehydrated, and at the same time, due to the increase in lung activity and cardiac exercise, a large amount of water is consumed, and lack of water can easily lead to a decrease in blood flow and a decrease in the amount of oxygen transported inside. If water is not replenished in time, the consequences will be very serious.”

Because of the cold and hypoxia, the plateau will make people's brains sluggish. When they react to their own hypoxia, the consequences are already very serious. This is the so-called high reaction.

"So drinking water can effectively relieve high reaction. This thing is better than medicine."

[It's awesome, the knife slashes the buttocks, it's an eye-opener! 】

[Heifers stand upside down, so powerful]

【Who the **** did you learn from? 】

Just as everyone's eyes widened, the door suddenly opened, and a black-faced Sherpa came in with a few large plates.

"Huo! I can finally eat!"

Yao Jun jumped up from the bed and couldn't wait to come to the table. After walking all day today, he was almost starving to death.

"Eat more. We are now at Faketing at an altitude of 2,610 meters, which is halfway between Lukla and Nanchi. There is still a long way to go tomorrow, so we need to eat enough."

Bi Fang picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the crowd. The food on the table was not unusual. They were all fried noodles, fried rice, noodle soup, steamed buns, etc., plus rugby noodles and pizza.

"In the past, most of the people who took the EBC line were white people from Ou Chou. In recent years, the number of people from Huaxia has gradually increased. There are a lot of Chinese food in the inns and hotels along the line, such as dumplings and noodles, and more chopsticks. It’s a good time, otherwise we can only eat Western food now, or the kind that we grab with our hands.”

Because of hunger, everyone didn't care too much about their image, so they picked up chopsticks and knives and forks and started eating.

Yao Jun on the side stopped the boss: "Boss, I think you have a WiFi signal here, can you tell me the password?"

The boss wiped his hands and smiled. His weather-beaten face was wrinkled and very honest. Unfortunately, what he said was not honest. He stretched out three fingers: "300 rupees."

Yao Jun was stunned: "What the hell? Do you still need money? Okay, tell me the password, I'm out! Let everyone use WiFi!"

Unexpectedly, the boss shook his head again: "One person three hundred, I'll enter the password?"

Yao Jun: "..."

"Hahaha, forget it Yao Jun." Bi Fang patted him on the shoulder, "It's unnecessary, don't expect the Wifi speed to be good in a place where the power is not stable. Be honest and use the traffic."

After everyone finished dinner, Bi Fang summed up the problems and points of attention.

"Whether a person is hypoxic can't be judged by feeling, because the brain and heart are very tolerant and can't feel it easily. It has to be measured. Observing the color of the lips is a measurement, but a visual inspection. The color of the lips represents the color of arterial blood, and it is purple and black. Arterial blood oxygen is not saturated, and the body is hypoxic. When you climb Mount Everest, you should pay attention to it. Don't go wrong. The most convenient way is to use the blood oxygen saturation meter. You can find out the truth in 10 seconds. I think Rob has it. , I will take you to get one tomorrow."

"The rest is the problem of hiking. I will call you in the morning, go to bed early tonight, and start at 7:30 tomorrow, from 2610 meters in Faketing to 3440 meters in Nanchi Bazaar. It will climb 800 meters to the It's time to teach you the essentials of mountain climbing."

In the evening, Bi Fang turned off the live broadcast, went out to exercise for a while, and then returned to his room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Bi Fang opened his eyes. This was the first time he slept in bed during the live broadcast. It was not surprising, but he also quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and opened the live broadcast.

The drone took off immediately.

【So early? Is it half past six? 】

【It's still not dawn, is it? 】

"The reason for the longitude is that Mount Everest usually doesn't get light until seven o'clock in spring and summer." Bi Fang spit out a cold mist. It could be seen that the temperature was still very low in the morning, and frost could be clearly seen on the leaves on the side.

"Today is April 21st. I expect to reach the Everest base camp in six days, and then I will have less than a month for training. It depends on the weather forecast of the Bureau of Meteorology. If the timing comes early, it may be I haven't even had a fortnight, so I have to work harder, so I get up early in the morning."

Half an hour later, sweating profusely, Bi Fang returned to the house, boiled some water, added some cold water, then came to the yard, took off his clothes, let the drone avoid the view, and poured the hot water on his head. .

"Phew! It's much more comfortable." Bi Fang shook the towel and wiped his face. After exercising, the blood vessels expanded, and he was not afraid of severe cold at all.

[I wipe, isn't it cold? 】

[I can only see one head when the drone flies to the right. 】

[Too fierce, is this a real man? Shower outside. 】

The sound of water outside the house quickly attracted everyone's attention. At this time, the sky was also bright. Yao Jun blinked, yawned, and got up. Then he saw Bi Fang, who was covered in mist, walking in from outside the house.

Yao Jun rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said in shock, "Damn, are you going to spontaneously ignite? Why is your body smoking?"

"Take a shower, get up quickly, and this, you all use it." Bi Fang put on his clothes and threw out a small bottle.

"What's this?"

Everyone gathered around~www.readwn.com~ and found that it was an alcohol spray.

"Alcohol spray, wait for you to wash your feet, and then spray this, especially on the toes and heels. After drying, apply a little alcohol to increase the tolerance of the feet, and it will not be so tired. I don't like the average person. tell him."

Yao Jun didn't understand, but he was shocked. This was the first time he knew of such a thing: "What's the reason for this?"

"It is pain relief, and it will have a chemical reaction with the leather to make the shoes softer. The hiking shoes are generally new, and we are wearing them. The new shoes have the greatest friction, but I haven't adapted to it, and it is easy to wear my feet. You apply some alcohol. It's soft."

Yao Jun was excited after hearing this, and immediately went under the bed to start the experiment.

"Speaking of which, you didn't tell me earlier? I grinded it all the way yesterday and forgot. I didn't remember it when I came out of the hotel that day, and I left after that, so there's no need for trouble."

"Grass!"
