Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 381 Entering the Mountain

The helicopter, which had a good atmosphere, suddenly fell silent. Jarrett and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly shuddered.

Saito Zhixin put on the shoes and socks silently, and said the longest sentence after meeting: "A sudden situation will not only cause you to lose your toes, but more likely to lose your life. The ice and snow gradually solidified at altitude, turning into blood crystals."

"Even if the death rate of climbing Mount Everest has dropped from 14.8% ten years ago to 4.4% today, this is the death rate of all climbers, and many of them have given up at C1C2. more likely to die."

"I have been climbing since 2013. That year I stopped at 7,400 meters because I saw a dead body in front of me. At that time, my brain was severely hypoxic and I didn't respond for five minutes. What was it when I came here, or maybe I was frightened, I retreated, and I didn’t succeed in the next 14 years and 15 years. My luck was not very good. I encountered an avalanche during the 14-year window period, and a major earthquake occurred in Nepal in 2015. Another big avalanche, and no one made it to the summit for a whole year."

Saito said halfway, suddenly took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw the boundless sky after climbing to the top, and after a while, he continued with his stiff accent: "After that, I will never Been here but this year I'm here again, this is my 4th time climbing Everest and my 40th birthday is coming up, I was hoping to get the summit as my birthday present. I heard from Rob that you guys haven't even climbed The 7,000-meter mountain peak, the body function of the human body does not work at the flying height of the Boeing 747, once you arrive at the C4 camp on the South Col of Mount Everest, your body will slowly die."

"Ha, how is that possible."

Withers laughed, trying to break the atmosphere of silence, but unfortunately no one else was laughing except him, and Saito stared at Withers blankly.

The laughter faded, and Withers clenched his fists to cover his face in embarrassment. After two dry coughs, Saito's voice sounded again: "You don't believe it, I stopped in front of death the first time I climbed a mountain, even though my mind was so frozen that I couldn't help it. Thinking normally, but I can feel, clearly feel, the Grim Reaper sitting in front of me, so close that I can hear his breathing."

"Climbing 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, the world's number one mountain will be conquered by you. If you lose, your body will be turned into this tombstone. a part of."

"Google."

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 sounds, it sounds terrible.

Is it too late to turn back now?

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

Suddenly, a hand was placed on the shoulders of the two of them, and the two of them trembled for a while, sweat dripped down their foreheads, and Bi Fang's voice sounded: "What are you panicking, I didn't let you climb to the top, you two can reach C2 as soon as possible!" Great, don’t even think about C4 or something.”

"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 Saito didn't look away until three minutes later.

"Then I hope you come back alive."

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

...

Half an hour later, the helicopter crossed the mountains and came to a small airport. The helicopter slowly landed on the runway. Rob was the first to jump off the plane, covered his hat, and pointed around.

"Before the Lukla airport was built, it was a rock and bush. After Edmund Hillary got the land permit, he hired 100 local people to build the airport. They hammered rocks and felled bushes during the day, and at night they built 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 is no road in Lukla, and all living materials rely on Lukla Airport for transshipment .In 2001, Lukla had an asphalt runway, but the airport is still dangerous. You see, even this runway is not smooth, and the slope is very steep.”

When Bi Fang landed on the ground, he immediately felt the unevenness of the ground, and the overall slope was very steep!

"At least fifteen degrees, this is a very scary angle on the road, let alone an airplane, and" Bi Fang squatted halfway, showing everyone what he saw in the first person.

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

【wipe? Is this a fucking airstrip? 】

【I'm so scared to drive】

[Ace pilot, request to fight! 】

[It is indeed the number one dangerous airport. 】

Rob on the side greeted the local residents to carry their luggage, and then came over with a smile and said, "That's right, the runway slope is 18.5 degrees, which is quite steep and undulating, which is rare in the world, and it alone qualifies it as the most dangerous runway. One of the famous airports. The most recent air crash was when it crashed into the mountain wall at the end of the runway when it landed. At that time, 13 German trekkers, 3 crew members, and 2 Nepalese died. "

hiss.

Jarrett and the others at the side all gasped after hearing this, and looked back at the helicopter they were riding in. They were extremely fortunate that they landed safely?

Fortunately, it's a helicopter. I don't know how scary it is really a small plane.

Bi Fang squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, nodded, pointed to the mountain wall at the end of the runway and said: "This slope should be used to facilitate the slowdown of the plane. After the plane lands, in addition to braking, the slope needs to be raised to avoid collisions as much as possible." Go up the hill ahead."

"I just observed the pilots and found that this airport seems to be only for visual flight, that is, it is completely searched by eyes. There is no DME, let alone ILS, and there are not even approach lights and PAPI lights.

In addition, the turbulence of the plane is more obvious when flying, and the feeling of flying sideways is heavier. It should be that the airport is located in a high mountain and deep valley, and the wind along the valley makes the plane have to fight against the continuous crosswind when taking off and landing.

In addition, the generation, accumulation and transportation of water vapor in the valley also makes the visibility of the airport unpredictable. No wonder it is so dangerous, which requires a lot of drivers. "

A bunch of professional terms in front made the audience a little dizzy, but the translations in the back are all normal Chinese, which does not hinder their understanding.

So much to see in a short ride in a helicopter?

[Fuck, can you fucking feel this? 】

[Strange knowledge has been added, Fang Shen’s skill panel has been increased by one]

【Isn’t Lao Fang good at flying helicopters? 】

[I almost forgot that Lao Fang is still an ace special soldier, damn it, maybe he will? 】

"I can't drive it, but I still know a little bit." Bi Fang laughed, unloaded all the backpacks and luggage on the ground, looked at the mountains hidden in the clouds in the distance, and pointed boldly, "Here, it is The starting point of Mt. Everest has come, and from now on, we are already on the official way forward!"

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

The entire airport was photographed by aerial photography, and the view from the high altitude was even more shocking. This is completely a cliff. There are no fences on both sides of the runway, just cliffs!

The two who watched were dumbfounded. They actually landed on such a runway?

Grandpa, who got off the plane, looked at the distant mountain peaks with the same emotion. His old face was indescribably rosy, as if he was a few years younger again.

Yao Jun on the side took out a PHS-like thing 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? 】

[An altitude measuring instrument? 】

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

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

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

As he spoke, 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, short-wave radio and satellite phone have replaced it as the common means of mountain radio communication. But the former has a limited call range, and the latter is expensive and susceptible to weather.

One of the biggest advantages of mobile phones over other means of communication is that they are cheap. However, as far as high mountain communication is concerned, short-wave radio is still the most reliable means, but some expedition organizations with low fees cannot provide radio equipment to members. This is what the guide company has just prepared for us, I checked it out and it is of high quality. Don't lose it, it's better to put it in the inner lining.

You must know that in 2007, four Italian mountaineers of the cheap mountaineering team encountered a dangerous situation near the peak of Mount Everest, and had to use expensive satellite phones to call back to Italy to call the police for help. The reason why they survived was because they received the help of the organizer of the mountaineering team that Barber joined, the "Experience the Himalayas" mountaineering company, and obtained oxygen supplementation. The "Experience the Himalayas" mountaineering company usually charges 20,000 pounds per climber.

Generally speaking, mountaineering companies with an ugly knife of 10,000 are not so reliable, so you should be careful when choosing. "

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

【Redefining cheap】

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

[I feel like I’m numb now. Fang Shen’s mountaineering costs 65,000 ugly dollars alone, and a random mountaineering company costs 20,000 pounds. I wonder if inflation didn’t bring me, otherwise why did everyone make a move? It's just dozens of w. I was sad for a long time when I bought a potato pancake for five yuan in the morning. 】

"Okay, everyone, have you packed your things? We should start now!"

Seeing that everyone had prepared their things, Rob, who was at the front, clapped his hands, and the mule carrying everyone's luggage started to move forward immediately.

"The transportation here is inconvenient, so the transportation method is still relatively primitive. Basically, mules are used to carry things. It takes about six or seven days to travel from Lukla to the Everest Base Camp. Next, we will walk from Lukla for about 3 and a half hours. To Fakeding, from the altitude of 2840 to 2610, the first drop is 200 meters, but it will be made up soon." Bi Fang patted the mule beside him and explained, "The good news is that the altitude of this journey They are all below 3,000 meters, generally speaking, healthy people will not experience altitude sickness."

It was eleven o'clock at this time, and the sun had risen to a higher position. Two hours later, Bi Fang was so hot that he began to sweat.

After crossing a narrow and short bridge in the air, perhaps the humidity in the mountain was too high, the trail became muddy, and the road was crowded with long-distance trekkers, mules and horses, monks in red robes, and barefoot Sherpas who were bent over by the wood.

"I found that climbing Mount Everest does not seem to be as poetic and picturesque as in the story. You can see that the whole road is full of excrement of livestock. I even feel that the road on the ground is not a dirt road at all, but a dung road. Put it like this It may be exaggerated, but you really have to pay attention to every step you take, because there are really too many teams of cows, horses, and donkeys. But you can see that the scenery on both sides is still good, and the roadside is full of small yellow flowers , it’s exactly what we saw on the plane, it’s really beautiful.”

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

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

Bi Fang shook his head regretfully. There are tens of thousands of animals and plants in the world. Although he can identify most of the animals and plants now, not all of them can accurately identify the genus and species, especially the plants. Rhododendronaceae, I don't know what kind of rhododendron, maybe a professional botanist can know.

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded in everyone's ears, and it was very familiar: "This is a yellow Rhododendron squamosa, and there is Jinlumei over there."

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

"Haha, I almost forgot, this time I'm traveling with the Lord Sir!" Bi Fang scratched his head, forgetting that he was accompanied by a great god!

When it comes to identifying animals and plants, few in the world can compare to Attenborough!

"Rhododendron squamosa generally grows at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and it's similar here, and if I'm not wrong, there should be pink Rhododendron bristles even higher up."

Sir Alex 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.

There really is?

Bi Fang was taken aback, as expected, the ginger is still old and hot!

The wildflowers you encounter casually on the roadside can even recognize the species?

Rhododendron was just an episode. While maintaining interaction with the audience, the team was moving forward at a very fast speed. Fortunately, with the help of the mule, an old man like Sir Alex could keep up.

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

The city of Naam hangs on the hillside of the dangerous slope like a huge and inclined disc-shaped satellite, and the paths between the houses are scattered like a maze.

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

The next few days were the real hard times.
