Chapter 189: Conquer the 8,000-meter Death Zone!(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)
During the whole process of hiking C2, all Lu Yu's attention was always focused on his feet.
The oxygen-free environment of nearly 8,000 meters hardly had a negative impact on him.
But when he suddenly stopped, the thin air in the death zone was a slap in the face.
In an instant, the lungs are like knives, and the pain is unbearable.
Every cold current that penetrates into the chest seems to be boiling.
Burning the lobes of the lungs all the time.
Growing.
In the next second, Lu Yu's heavy breathing was infinitely amplified, and the audience's heartbeat was unstoppable, and it was difficult to open their mouths.
Everyone has the most intuitive feeling of this desperate place!
", ruthless!"
"Out of breath!"
"It feels like my lungs are going to explode!"
"Inexplicable!"
"It's really awesome, it's almost 8,000 meters!"
"Come on, Featherage!"
......
Taking off the windproof mask, Lu Yu leaned over and gasped twice, but he still couldn't calm his heart and lungs that were trembling violently.
Between exhalation and inhalation, the few hemoglobin in the blood are pumping enough oxygen to the body.
But even so, it is still difficult to make up for the huge oxygen gap.
For a moment, the entire chest cavity was like an infinite number of knives, stabbing indiscriminately and scraping unhurriedly.
It hurts and endures.
At an altitude of nearly 8,000 meters, the oxygen content in the air is only about 27% of that at sea level.
It's almost impossible to breathe freely.
Once you set foot in it, the oxygen that can be found everywhere becomes precious in an instant.
Even people with special training will be somewhat inadequate.
Some people say that on Mount Everest, from the moment you enter 7900 meters, you are slowly dying.
All the mountaineering gear just slows down your time to die.
All you have to do is go up and down again before you die completely!
In between, even if it's only a few seconds slow, there's a great chance you'll be left on it forever!
It can be seen from this that this altitude means to human beings.
That's right.
The wind is surging, and every second will change in an instant.
However, 7900 meters is just a warning.
From here, with each metre of elevation gain, despair and helplessness become more and more apparent.
Any small detail that is not taken care of can lead to tragedy.
After resting in place for a while, Lu Yu got up again.
While controlling the rhythm of your breathing, you zigzag up the ridge mixed with rock and snow.
His pace is getting slower and slower.
Every step will be hesitant for a moment before settling down.
It's not that I'm physically exhausted, it's that at this intensity, I can't get up at all.
It's not easy to keep moving forward.
In the process of walking, Lu Yu subconsciously glanced at Zhang Zifeng opposite.
It's getting very small.
All around, the undulating peaks of the Himalayas were all trampled under their feet.
Only the summit of the Goddess Peak, still unmoved, stands quietly in the night.
After slowly moving forward for about an hour, before he could find his proper rhythm, Lu Yu stopped again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The heart is beating nonstop.
Domino effect.
The previous feeling of cutting the lungs like a knife became more and more distinct.
Leaning on a rock wall, Lu Yu raised his eyes and looked at the mountaineering table and found that the altitude had passed 8,000 meters.
Looking up, the cold and rugged peak, pointing straight to the clouds, has long been within reach.
In the next second, the drone, covered in wind and frost, flew in front of him.
Through the camera, the audience also saw the data on the climbing table.
When the words 8,000 meters came into view, the live broadcast room, which had been silent for a long time, boiled again!
"it!8000 meters!"
"Jinnyima!"
"All stand up!"
"Feather God: Ji Cao Don't 6, sit quietly and watch!"
"Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live stream!"
"Scary!"
"Where's the expert?"
"The experts have been frightened by the feather god!"
"Unthinkable!"
1953 year!
In 1953, the Swiss physician Iduhua Wess Dunon defined an altitude of 8,000 meters as a death zone that humans could not set foot in!
September 20, 2019.
Lu Yu, a Chinese extreme athlete, broke this iron law and successfully stepped on 8,000 meters without the help of any respiratory aids, creating history.
This is not just a feat in the world of extreme sports, but a feat for humanity as a whole!
At this moment, the whole world is in an uproar, and everyone is jubilant!
Not a word of nonsense!
There is no refutation either!
Lu Yu used his actual actions to sweep away all the doubts!
......
Yanjing.
Su Merin's home.
Looking at the "8000 meters" blurred by frost and snow on the live broadcast screen, Professor Su's eyes were blank, and he was stunned for half a minute before he came to his senses.
"This ...... How is this possible?!"
Helping the glasses that were about to slip off on the bridge of his nose, Mr. Su shook his head in shock and sighed: "There is such a thing?!"
Previously, he had made a professional analysis of Lu Yu's challenge to Mount Everest in the show, believing that it was an impossible task.
Although the words are sharp, the words are not rough.
Many of the remarks are supported by theories and have won the support of most netizens.
But today, practice makes sense.
Lu Yu used his practical actions to smash the impossible remarks in one fell swoop.
This is not to say that Professor Su is unprofessional.
It's that Lu Yu is too professional.
Because he not only has mountaineering experience that is nearly 100 years ahead of the world, but also has a super physique that is close to the peak of human physical fitness!
Su Meilin was silent.
He really didn't expect that this young man would successfully set foot in eight thousand meters!
Incredible!
It's incredible!
......
At the same time, there was also an exclamation in the brightly lit lounge of the Guoden team!
Many of the mountaineers present were shocked by this scene!
"That's amazing!"
"Oh my God!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Cow!"
"If you don't pay attention, you will board it!"
At the back of the seat.
Staring at the big screen in the lounge, Xia Lao's eyes also moved slightly, and he kept muttering: "There is hope, there is hope......"
Wang Yongfeng knew what he meant.
Hope is to reach the top.
But how big this hope is, the two of them can't be sure.
After all, it's not an ordinary snowy mountain.
It's easier said than done!
The environment at the summit changes rapidly, almost in the blink of an eye.
The pressure brought by high altitude should not be underestimated.
There will be a big change between square inches.
A lot of times, it's just a matter of seeing the pinnacle just around the corner.
But in fact, there is still a long way to go.
Especially in these last few hundred meters, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky!
Sighing deeply, Wang Yongfeng said worriedly: "Here is the key...... If you can't adapt to 8000, it will be very difficult to climb the top in the future......"
"It's time to make adjustments. Xia Lao nodded in a deep voice, and replied: "At this altitude, every time you rise one meter, the situation will be very different!"
For a while, the two bigwigs in the mountaineering industry couldn't help but get nervous.
While silently cheering for Lu Yu in his heart, he hoped that he could go higher and reach the top of the mountain!
