Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 384 The Broken Banner

Among the rubble on the roadside, the broken flag representing the faith flutters in the wind, and is firmly rooted among the stones. Perhaps the dream of an unknown climber is buried there.

The snow-capped mountains reflected the dazzling orange sunlight, making everyone dazzled. They even suspected that they were hallucinating for a while, otherwise how could there be such a magnificent snow-capped mountain in the world?

Seven days, seven full days!

It took a group of seven days to finally arrive at the base camp of Mount Everest!

Originally, they could rest in the small village below for a whole day, but everyone couldn't wait any longer.

From mud to rock, from black to white, from warm to cold, for this moment.

This moment!

Whether it is looking down on the plane, looking from a distance, or looking up at the foot of the mountain, there are three completely different ways to communicate with the Goddess Peak, as if its beauty is endless, even if it is only a short distance. One millimeter above, the beauty you see is completely different.

Everyone stood on the edge of the snow line, looking up at the sky.

Just the snow line, the cold wind is piercing, and every breath seems to inhale ice. It is hard to imagine how cold and biting the mountain top three thousand meters away is. It is the highest pole in the world and the third pole of the earth. !

"Hey, don't write a diary anymore, who is a serious person to keep a diary?"

After crossing the snow line, Yao Jun complained about how Bi Fang put away his small textbooks and ran excitedly to the flat ground. When the flag appeared in front of him, Yao Jun couldn't help but stop, blocked the sun with his right hand, squinted his eyes curiously Said: "How long has it been inserted here, how did it break like this?"

Rob, the leader of the team, came from behind. I don't know if he really understood Chinese, or just mentioned the flag, panting: "Maybe a few weeks, or a few months, I didn't see it when I came last year. I don't know if the owner of the banner succeeded."

"How many weeks? How many months?" Yao Jun had studied abroad at any rate, and he heard what Rob said clearly. He was immediately taken aback, and even took two steps back. The flag is almost broken into strips?

"The environment on Mount Everest is very harsh, especially on the southern slope, which has abundant rainfall and features a maritime monsoon climate. Even within a day, the weather is unpredictable, not to mention the ups and downs of the year. Especially in November From mid-February to mid-February of the following year, under the control of the strong northwest cold current, the temperature of minus 60 degrees appeared, and the average temperature was between -40°C and 50°C. The maximum wind speed reached 90 meters per second!"

Wang Yongbo came up from the back of the team panting like a bull. He gasped after hearing this data. The cold breath squeezed out all the temperature in his lungs. Even his brain was a little awake, and his voice was distorted: "Nine Ten meters per second?"

"That's right." Bi Fang nodded affirmatively, even frowning tightly, as if he had already thought of that horrible scene.

Ninety meters per second! ?

What is this concept?

Wang Yongbo looked at Rob, and found that the so-called experienced guide also had a dignified expression, and Saito's paralyzed face that hadn't changed for a thousand years seemed to have been frozen for a long time, and it would never change.

Even the Sir, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, looked solemn, as if he was facing an African lion on the grassland.

But what is this concept?

Wang Yongbo was a little embarrassed, but seeing that everyone didn't seem to take the initiative to explain, Bi Fang even started to walk forward, so he could only bite the bullet and ask awkwardly: "Is the wind... very strong?"

Bi Fang tilted his right foot just now, coughed twice, and looked back at Wang Yongbo with disbelief in his eyes.

have no idea?

I don't know what the hell you were smoking just now?

Is the co-authored gasp just to heighten the atmosphere?

Facing Bi Fang's staring eyes, Wang Yongbo scratched his feet in embarrassment, pointed to everyone, and then pointed to himself: "It's more than 5,000 meters here, isn't it normal for me to pant? You can't treat me like you monsters."

Indeed, everyone in the team has more or less a certain basis for hiking. Even Jarrett and the photographer he brought are also the gold medals of the Adventure Channel. How can it be possible to say that they have never hiked?

Only Wang Yongbo doesn't count, he just came to experience life.

However, there is a saying that Wang Yongbo is right. Not everyone can adapt to an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. The sense of oxygen will be obvious, and Wang Yongbo and Sir Alex will even use oxygen cylinders occasionally,

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room were all laughing, and Etienne, who was thousands of miles away, laughed so much that he dropped his phone, lying on the recliner, and hit the corner of his mouth directly, his lips and teeth collided, and he screamed in pain.

【President Wang really laughed me to death】

【You laugh at him for not understanding the level of wind power, he laughs at you for not understanding wealth and freedom】

[One thing to say, I don't quite understand this concept, but it feels awesome]

【I've been climbing for so long, can't I catch my breath? 】

Bi Fang turned his head and saw the barrage, and found that many people in the audience didn't understand. Only then did he realize that he hadn't made it clear. He was shocked by Xuefeng before, and forgot about it for a while. Many audiences are just ordinary people. The division is not understood at all.

"The wind speed of 90 meters per second is equivalent to twice that of a sixteen-level typhoon. Generally, winds above level 12 are called typhoons or hurricanes. They are extremely destructive and rarely seen on land. And in nature, the wind force is sometimes Will go beyond 12th grade.

For example, the central wind force of a strong typhoon or the wind force of a tornado may be much greater than that of a level 12, but strong winds above level 12 are relatively rare, and generally the number of levels is not specified. Level 16 corresponds to more than 51 meters. Trees were uprooted and brick houses were completely destroyed. "

"You know, the largest cloud of acid rain found on Venus can spread over 7,500 kilometers. It has existed on Venus since 1983, but its wind speed is only at the level of 90 meters per second."

With comparison, it is much easier for everyone to understand.

[Fuck, this is too scary, right? 】

[Is this the reason why the plane can't fly to Mount Everest? 】

"For this reason, if it is only the height, even civil aviation can achieve it. The altitude is generally above 10,000 meters, but civil aviation cannot land. The plane can only cruise at high altitude. If it needs to land at a low speed, then it has to be released. Flaps increase the lift, but when the aircraft is at low speed, at the height of Mount Everest, the flaps cannot be operated due to the configuration of the aircraft.”

Bi Fang shook his head and explained that these reasons would prevent the plane from slowing down and landing.

And affected by the structural strength, placing the landing gear at high speed will directly cause the landing gear to fall off. But at low speeds, it is impossible to guarantee that the aircraft has enough lift.

"If it's skydiving, it's even more impossible, because the oxygen content is not enough and the air pressure is different, the plane can't release the pressure at all. People at this altitude will die due to lack of oxygen, even those who have climbed Mount Everest."

From the middle of the plane to the altitude of 10,000 meters, the air pressure changes too fast, so fast that the human physique cannot adapt to it, and the bad weather makes it not suitable for landing at all.

Avalanche, valley wind, the wind is so strong that ordinary people can't imagine, it is not difficult to directly overturn the world's largest passenger plane A380.

Speaking of this, Bi Fang smiled: "If 6 billion people in the world jump together, there may be a few unlucky ones who just fall on the top of the mountain and freeze to death."

[Is this a cold joke? 】

[What about the helicopter? What about the helicopter? 】

"It doesn't work either. Helicopters rely on the propellers to rotate and give themselves a downward force to fly upwards. However, if the pressure exceeds five kilometers, the pressure is too low, and it is impossible to provide enough force. If the speed is increased, the current configuration , It is still difficult to achieve, the high-altitude air flow is complicated, the helicopter is not easy to control the direction, and it is easy to crash into the mountain, it is for these reasons that the summit of the mountain can become the badge of the warrior, the glory of a lifetime."

Bi Fang took off his sunglasses and pointed forward.

"Okay, let's move forward quickly. Since we have come to the snow line, don't forget to bring sunglasses, or you will easily get snow blindness. I taught you when I was in Mohe. If you don't have one, you can use cloth strips or charcoal ashes. Blindfolded."

Soon, the group arrived at the base camp. Unlike what they had imagined, tents were pitched everywhere, and even many corners were piled with garbage!

The plastic bags and broken fabrics of different colors look extremely ugly against the entire snow-white Mount Everest!

【I'll go, there are so many rich people】

【I threw a brick backhanded and killed a millionaire on the spot】

[Fang Shen caught the brick with his backhand and threw it back for you, Zhang San: This is self-defense! 】

[Damn it, why is there so much rubbish? 】

[Isn't it? Do you have a sense of public morality when throwing rubbish on Mount Everest? 】

Bi Fang looked at Attenborough, but found that the other party was not as emotional as he thought.

The countenance was dull, as if he had seen thousands of similar scenes: "Since we came to this planet as creatures, we have cut down, dug up, burned, and poisoned other creatures. Today we are The same atrocities are being committed on an unprecedented scale.

A hundred years ago, there were only 1.5 billion people on earth. Today, our fragile planet is populated by more than 6 billion people. But even so, there are still places on Earth that are inaccessible to humans. With the commercial development of Mount Everest, this scene is almost predictable. "

The guide Rob seemed to be aware of the awkward atmosphere, so he quickly changed the topic, and led everyone into a big tent with their company logo hanging outside the tent.

Everyone followed closely behind. After entering the thick tent, a gust of warm air rushed towards everyone's flushed faces, and the original ice slag quickly melted and evaporated.

"Fuck, this is too cool."

Yao Jun was the first to enter, and immediately took a deep breath. Compared with the icy cold wind outside, he had the idea of ​​staying here and never going out again. Compared with the harsh environment outside, this place is simply paradise.

"Wait a minute, I'll take the others to find their guides first." After placing Bi Fang and others, Rob immediately took Withers and others away to find their real guides.

Bi Fang wandered around and showed everyone the scene inside the tent, which was really good.

The biomass pellet stove continuously provides heat, making the whole tent very hot, and the fluffy blankets even look new.

There are also a lot of instant food piled up in the corner, as well as fresh food such as potatoes and tomatoes, and even an oxygen generator. It can only be said that you get what you pay for. Sixty-five thousand dollars is indeed expensive, but the guarantee is real. of.

After climbing the mountain for a day, everyone lay down on the blankets, feeling so comfortable that they would die.

With Rob leaving, everyone just took a break. About half an hour later, Rob came back. He successfully sent Withers and others away, and organized everyone to chat at the same time.

The content of the chat is nothing more than the mental journey. This is the so-called psychological enlightenment. Almost every qualified guide will do this. The purpose is to let everyone treat Mount Everest with a peaceful mood.

If you can still play around below the base camp, then when you arrive at the base camp, there are completely two worlds.

Rugged roads, cold weather, howling winds, and glaciers hidden under the snow are all fatal.

Bi Fang opened the curtain to look at the sky, and found that there was still some time before sunset, so he took the opportunity to propose going out to have a look.

Everyone has nothing to do, Rob looked at the time and readily agreed.

"I remember that there is a pass above the base camp. The distance is not far, and the height is less than 100 meters. You should be able to climb the pass before dark and come back."

Thinking of this, everyone immediately became excited.

"The pass is a common place on the plateau. It is usually a saddle-shaped depression on the ridge, and it is often a traffic channel for high mountains and ridges. It is very suitable as a platform for viewing on high mountains."

With a goal in hand, Bi Fang and the others set off immediately, leaving only Wang Yongbo struggling to breathe and the exhausted Sir in the tent.

As a result, the tent was out, and not long after leaving the base camp, Bi Fang found out and immediately pulled everyone back.

"Hey, it's Tibetan Snow Chicken!"

Tibetan snow chicken?

Rob and the others were taken aback for a moment, but when they saw the direction Bi Fang was pointing at, they found nothing. It wasn't until after looking for a few minutes that they saw some little guys moving between the rocks.

The photographer knows how to adjust the camera and aim at the Tibetan snow chicken.

Rob was shocked on the spot, and couldn't stop looking at Bi Fang. How did this guy find out?

Not only that, after 4,000 meters, Rob has been focusing on this anchor who he thought was stupid, and everything he can observe has shocked Rob.

I don't have any experience in climbing, but there is no sign of high resistance when I reach the base camp of more than 5,000 meters.

I have no mountaineering experience, but I only know mountaineering like the back of my hand, and it feels like instinct to use it.

How can it be?

Is this guy hiding some records?

Is this the fucking anchor?

"Tibetan snow chicken? How can there be chicken? Can I eat it?" Yao Jun was refreshed when he heard that there was chicken. The whole road was filled with fried noodles, fried rice, noodle soup, and steamed buns. It was full of freshness, and he would take pictures when ordering food, but when he heard that he was going to eat, he felt a little disgusted.

"Eat your head." Bi Fang rolled his eyes, really speechless, "Although this thing is a non-dangerous animal in the world, it is a national second-class protected animal in our country. If you eat it in front of me, Where do I put my face?"

Yao Jun curled his lips when he heard that he was protecting animals: "But isn't this Nepal?"

The corner of Bi Fang's mouth twitched, as if this was the truth, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Then the conversation changed: "Then you won't be able to eat it if you catch it. It's more than 5,000 meters, and the food can't be boiled at all, so you can't eat it."

"It can be baked, isn't there an oven in the tent just now?" Yao Jun said naturally.

Bi Fang: "."

[Damn it, it's rare to see Lao Fang deflated]

[666, as expected of the big brother on the list, let Fangshen be deflated when he opened his mouth]

[At this time, you should call the old sir! ! 】

【My lord, it's up to you to replace Fang Shen! 】

[Are there any animals more than 5,000 meters away? 】

"Hey, hey, why do you forget the old love when you have a new love?" Bi Fang was speechless, pointing to the Tibetan snow rooster in the rock not far away, "The Tibetan snow pheasant generally inhabits the mountains at an altitude of 3,000 to 6,000 meters. Alpine thickets, tundra and bare rock areas. It coincides with our location, and it often forages near the snow line. It likes to form groups, mostly in small groups of 3-5."

The audience's attention was immediately attracted, and they counted the moving small stones, and found that there were exactly five, exactly as Fang Shen said.

Cowhide!

"The body shape of the Tibetan snow chicken is similar to that of domestic chickens. The feathers on the body are gray and white, and the dark gray wings occupy a large area, and the white abdomen occupies a large area."

"You see, this color allows them to blend with the ground when they lie down, so that they are not easily detected by natural enemies. This is also their way of survival, and the hatching time of Tibetan snow chickens living in different places will also vary. Different, according to "Huaxia Bird Chronicle", it is 27 days in XZ, 26 days in XJ, and 19-22 days in Gansu."

Just as Bi Fang lay down on the ground and was about to get closer to the explanation, a piercing scream interrupted his words.

"Help!!"
