Seven hundred and eighty snowy mountain nights

In fact, when they decided to cross the Death Ridge, several of them had a quick discussion. Two female bodyguards from Russia suggested finding a local guide to take them over the mountains. There are so many strange facts about this mountain. And coupled with the years of blockade by the former Soviet authorities, outsiders are not at all familiar with the environment here. In addition, they are all combatants, and if you want to say that they can fight more than one another, but when it comes to experience in the mountains and in the wilderness and even in glaciers, these people together may not be as experienced as a local old hunter. So the best way to climb over Death Ridge is to invite an experienced local hunter to lead the way. The old hunters of the ethnic minorities who have lived in the mountains for a long time are familiar with this landform and know every glacier and cressure, which can save everyone a lot of trouble.

This suggestion was finally rejected by Li Huan, and his reason was very simple. If everyone is mountaineering and playing, then Li Huan will definitely not veto this suggestion. But now everyone is not traveling to climb the mountain, but to use the fastest speed, the most secret way to pass through this ridge to what extent This ordinary climber may have to prepare for half a month to the peak, he intends to pass quickly in two days. As long as you pass through this peak, there is the Great Siberian Plain, as long as you enter the Great Siberian Plain and get on the dog sled, the sunset will not be able to track it no matter how big it is.

However, there is only one thing that everyone is worried about, and that is whether the ceremonial flowers can be harnessed and everyone can pass through this ridge of death.

At ten o'clock in the morning, everyone began to pass through the most mysterious hiking trail in the world, and after half an hour, everyone's suspicions about Li Huan were dispelled.

If Leon and Rodman can't see what a profession is in the snow, then these two Russian girls have lived in the alpine region for a long time. They can tell at a glance whether it's true or not. When they were in the army, the instructors of the army would teach them the common sense of survival in the wilderness. The Russian army also has special requirements for the icy and snowy environment. That is, in the worst cases, say if a person is unequipped, they have to survive in the wild for more than seven days. This is the only way to meet the requirements of an elite.

Rovisha and Agata were quickly impressed by Li Huan's professionalism.

That's right, compared to the instructors invited by the army, the two of them even felt that Li Huan was more professional. Whether it's leaving a mark on the side of the road as he advances, or looking for dangers in the snow, such as those melting cavities and cracks in the ice, Li Huan is familiar with it. He led the way in front alone, letting everyone follow in his footsteps, and it didn't take long for him to rise to an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level.

"Why don't we speed up," Shangguan Qing suddenly asked.

"How to speed up" Li Huan was stunned.

"Hey, you're such a stupid person, have you forgotten that we are all cultivators Aura strengthens the body and moves quickly. After speaking, Shangguan Qin also gave a special look at the two female bodyguards, "As for them, I think Li Ang and Rodman are very willing to help them." ”

"I also think the same way for the boss, we can't be too slow like this, if we are faster, we can find some way to climb the mountain. Li Ang said that he had no problem at all, "Ever since you asked me to embark on this path of cultivation, I feel that my energy is always inexhaustible. Now it's my turn to vent. The place of energy. ”

"Do you think I'm stupid, if I could, I'd done it a long time ago. Not to mention the two of you, as long as I use all my strength, I can quickly drag all of you to the mountain in half a day. Li Huan pouted, "But have you forgotten, who are we facing, you think about it, the Ocean Hunter Guild's aura satellite is vegetarian After the rainforest of the Mexican country, the authority of the aura satellite has been opened to every country." Tell me, if the Sunset Society wants to find us, will they use the Reiki satellite, and if they don't know where we are, that's fine. I suspect they're staring at Siberia right now. As soon as there is an abnormal aura movement, our whereabouts will be immediately exposed. Tell me why we have traveled so far from Finland through the Great Plains of Central Europe and then through the Death Ridge to Siberia, wouldn't it be better to rent a plane and go there?"

"Yes, why didn't I think of it," Shangguan Qing suddenly realized.

In the rainforest, if there is something in this world that has done a great job. That's definitely the Ocean Hunters' Guild's aura satellite. Reiki satellite technology. Strange to say, no matter how much technology is stronger in this world, how many powerful law enforcement agencies there are, only the Sea Hunter Guild has mastered it. Neither Citigroup nor China could imitate this kind of reconnaissance satellite specifically targeting cultivators. In the Rainforest World, various nations have understood the benefits of the Aura Satellite, and now the Sea Hunter Guild is firmly at the forefront of all law enforcement agencies by virtue of its ownership of the Aura Satellite. Now, as long as you want to reconnoiter the movements of cultivation, the aura satellite can do it.

In fact, theoretically speaking, as long as Li Huan takes the initiative to contact the Ocean Hunter Guild. The Ocean Hunter Guild's aura satellite will definitely not follow Li Huan to investigate. However, in this way, it destroys the fairness of the Sea Hunters Union, which is fatal. Combining these things, Li Huan decided that a few people would slowly climb over the mountain without using their aura. There is no need to find any guides, because this is not only secrecy but also secrecy, and if a little news is leaked, the people of the sunset party will pounce on them like vicious dogs that smell meat and bones.

After Li Huan's explanation, several people understood and slowly followed Li Huan's footsteps.

"We are now heading east, and we must not deviate from the direction yet, and you must follow in my footsteps. Li Huan led the way at the front, and when it was almost noon, everyone had already raised the altitude to about 3,000 meters above sea level. At this altitude, the air has begun to thin out, and unfortunately, a cloud is pressing down on the sky, light snow is falling in the sky, and the temperature has plummeted by about 10 degrees. Li Huan walked in front and helped everyone break the oncoming wind, and told everyone as he walked, "Everyone watch your feet, don't step on the empty ice hole, it will be troublesome." ”

The team formed a long snake formation, and several people behind them wrapped their heads tightly, and strode forward against the wind and snow.

"Li Huan, I really didn't believe that you had the ability to be so professional in the ice and snow. "Shangguan Qing is the one who is best taken care of after Li Huan.

In order to resist the wind and snow for everyone, Li Huan couldn't have a faint layer of spiritual power on himself. Forming a layer of spiritual power shield like a substance, spiritual power is different from aura, and aura satellites can detect the existence of aura, but cannot detect the existence of spiritual power. Using spiritual power as a shield is generally used when two cultivators are fighting each other at the most dangerous moment. Because the aura can be replenished, if you want to replenish the spiritual power, if you want to replenish the spiritual power that has been burned, it is very difficult.

Only high-level cultivators can play like this.

"That's right, boss, I can't tell the direction in this snowstorm, how can you tell the difference" Li Ang wiped his goggles, "This ghost weather, it's really unlucky." We can't even use GS, why can't we even use GS"

Li Huan thought that everyone knew it at first, but he didn't make it clear, but when he walked one-fifth of the way, everyone knew that just a mountain climb was more difficult than everyone imagined. First of all, the GS, which is known as the Relic of the Wild Traveler, cannot be used here. As for why, everyone is accustomed to taking GS as the standard, but when Li Huan reminded everyone, everyone knew that this thing could not be used at all, and once it was used, it would be equivalent to pointing the way to the sunset

GS refers to a kind of radio navigation that uses GS satellites to provide all-weather, real-time three-dimensional position, three-dimensional speed and other information to all parts of the world

Bit system. The predecessor of GS is a meridian satellite positioning system developed by Citigroup in 1958, which was officially put into use in 1964, the system works with a satellite network composed of 56 satellites, which can bypass the earth up to 13 times a day, and can not give altitude information, and is not satisfactory in terms of positioning accuracy. However, the meridian satellite positioning system enables the R&D department to gain preliminary experience in satellite positioning and verify the feasibility of positioning by satellite system, which paves the way for the development of GS. Citigroup's army, navy, air force and civilian sectors all felt an urgent need for a new satellite navigation system, as well as the meridian system, because of the great superiority of satellite positioning in navigation and the huge shortcomings of the meridian system in navigating submarines and ships.

In the 70s of the 20th century, the army, navy and air force jointly developed a new generation of global positioning system, the main purpose of GS is to provide real-time, all-weather and global navigation services for the army, navy and air force, and for intelligence collection, nuclear explosion monitoring and emergency communications and other military purposes, after more than 20 years of research and experiments, costing 30 billion US dollars, by 1994, the global coverage of up to 98 24 GS satellite constellation has been deployed. GS has gone through the first and second generations, and has now been upgraded to the third generation to maintain its supremacy in the navigation and positioning system, from the current point of view, the GS is the highest accuracy, the widest coverage of the navigation and positioning system in the world.

The scheme places 24 satellites in three orbits with 1200 to each other. There are 8 satellites in each orbit, and 69 satellites can be observed at any point on Earth. In this way, the coarse code accuracy can reach 100s, and the plan has to reduce the number of satellites launched, and instead distribute 18 satellites in 6 orbits with 600 to each other, but this scheme cannot guarantee the reliability of satellites. In 1988, a final modification was made: 21 working satellites and 3 spare satellites operating in 6 orbits at 600 to each other. This is also the way GS satellites are currently used.

It can be seen that the GS system is indeed very reliable, but the problem is that it was developed by Citigroup.

At present, in addition to GS, there is also China's Beidou system in the world, but it is military, and the military systems of many countries rely on the GS system to operate. There was a joke about the third world countries that banded together to challenge Citigroup, but Citigroup cut off the GS signal, and they couldn't even find where Citigroup was.

In addition to the convenience of navigation, this system also allows Citigroup to monitor the dynamics of every device connected to it anytime, anywhere. Think about it, since the Xizhao Society can get together with the military, it naturally has the authority to screen the signal Li Huan used soul spells to get the content they leaked before letting go of the three spies, Siberia, military factories, and the former Soviet Union, just these three keywords, Li Huan did not dare to use the GS system here, and could only rely on knowledge.

So when Li Ang asked this question, Li Huan just smiled faintly, "When you are on the Arctic Circle, there are many ways to figure out the southeast, northwest, and northwest." Use the angle between the hour hand of the watch and the sun to determine the direction. If you don't have a watch, or in dark weather, the first thing to know is what the Earth's rotation is at the North Pole. In addition, the known direction of rotation of the Earth is from west to east, so that the east-west direction can be discerned at the poles. You know the direction of rotation of the Earth at the North Pole."

"Ahh

Everyone was dumbfounded, Li Huan asked this question coldly, everyone was not smeared, there was an illusion of a bad student facing the teacher, Shangguan Qing simply pretended not to hear. After a while, only Leon asked tentatively, "Boss, what do you say, isn't the rotation of the earth from west to east?"

Before Li Huan could speak, the Russian girl Agata shook her head, "No, our teacher taught that the direction of rotation of the earth over the North Pole is counterclockwise, and the South Pole is clockwise." ”

"Yes, Agata was right. Li Huan smiled and looked at Li Ang, "Look, you're not as smart as a girl." ”

"Boss, you can't be so partial, what kind of people are they, what kind of people are we are people, we don't even see a single snow in Funia a year, we know what the South Pole and the North Pole are. If you ask me about the city by the sea, I know, and if you ask me what color bikini the beautiful women like to wear in the summer, I also know. Leon rolled his eyes, "How the earth turns, I know a fart." ”

Li Huan smiled faintly: "This is the knowledge of survival in the wild." If you were given a map looking down over the North Pole, you would be able to tell the east-west direction of the two places. First of all, determine that the direction of rotation of the earth is counterclockwise, in order to facilitate the problem, you can draw a line segment with an arrow, and the direction of the arrow pointing is the direction of the earth's rotation, that is, east. Of the two points, if one point is in the same position as the arrow pointing relative to the other point, then the point is east of the other point; In this way, the east-west direction of the two places can be seen. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, just change the direction of rotation to clockwise. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Boss, why do you know these things I've always wanted to ask you this question, you look like a rich second generation, but you fight much fiercer than me" Li Ang scratched his head, "And you still know so many messy things, it's really more popular than people"

"Haha, you don't know this, let me tell you, I used to" After walking for a while, Li Huan found that there was nothing abnormal on this road, and in order to relax everyone, he simply told his previous story.

It's okay not to talk about it, but everyone was surprised when they talked about it. Except for Shangguan Qing who knew Li Huan's details, the other four didn't know that Li Huan had shown up like this in order to make a living before. This is not a confidential thing, Li Huan's things can also be found on the Internet, but everyone didn't expect him to do this. Since Li Huan has started to talk, he simply doesn't stop, anyway, this is also a way to kill time in this ice and snow. But this talk can't stop, you must know that Li Huan used to be famous for liking to mess around with the audience. Now that there is no audience, Li Huan simply regarded the remaining few people as his audience.

Li Huan's previous things were still quite funny. Except for some secrets that he couldn't say, the strange things he encountered when he ran around in the primeval forest made everyone laugh. On such an oppressive cloudy snow-capped mountain road, I don't know how long it has been since such a nice laugh has been heard, which can be regarded as bringing a trace of precious fun to everyone's journey, because the snowstorm will come soon

When it rose to an altitude of about 4,000 meters, it was just a little snow, but in the blink of an eye, a storm hit with palm-sized snow flakes, and everyone closed their mouths, not even interested in talking.

The Ural Mountains are a strange mountain range, with the Arctic Circle sea breeze and the tropical monsoon climate plains below, with extreme hot and cold air, and the weather is often unpredictable. In fact, according to Li Huan's judgment, within half an hour, an even bigger storm will come. This is the heavenly power of nature, don't look at most of the cultivators here, if you resist with strength, except for Li Huan, there may be a little hope, in the temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, against the violent snowstorm, all the people here will probably be frozen to death in less than an hour.

At present, the most important thing is to find a shelter immediately, otherwise even if Li Huan can take it, the others will immediately fall into trouble after the aura is exhausted.

Li Huan whistled, he took out a string of ropes, asked everyone to tie them around their waists one by one, and admonished, "Shangguan, you are behind me, Luo Weisha and Agata are in the middle, Li Ang Rodman, you two Finally, the visibility is very low in the snowstorm, everyone must not be left behind." One of the biggest dangers of encountering such weather on such snowy mountains is hypothermia. And this condition, it happens very quickly, and you only need to drop your body temperature by a few degrees, and you will get it

Hypothermia. ”

As soon as Li Huan's words fell, a mountain wind suddenly blew, mixed with a large cloud of loose snow, and slapped him back a few steps. Because Li Huan was hanging a spiritual power shield, all the impact was on his body, and the large cloud of loose snow smashed into the spiritual power shield and turned into a white mist in the sky, fortunately, Li Huan's eyes were quick, and two spiritual currents were born under his feet, and he temporarily fixed himself in place, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone is okay"

"Boss, I thought cultivators weren't afraid of this. Li Ang looked at the scattered snow just now, and estimated that he was photographed, and there might be nothing left.

"What gave you this illusion that cultivators were indeed much stronger than ordinary people. In dealing with various situations, cultivators can have an advantage with their aura and strong body. However, when it comes to facing nature, ordinary people and cultivators are the same. The power of nature is not something that can be fought against by individuals, and you must remember this, otherwise you will suffer a great loss. Especially when you are angry with nature, it is best to retreat and no one will laugh at you. Li Huan said seriously, "Okay, let's continue to move forward, this is what I want." No one can track me now. But you have to be careful, and if anything happens to you, tell me immediately. ”

"What's the situation," Rodman at the end of the line asked.

"Hypothermia. Li Huan said, "I began to tremble, began to speak incoherently, and then lost the ability to think, and fell into hypothermia within a few minutes, and then my life was in danger." ”

"I don't seem to be listening, doesn't count," Rodman said aloud.

"So fast" Li Huan thought about it, and then he was relieved, this is a problem of race.

Rodman was the only black man on the team, and the black man was very good at heat resistance. Anthropologists have found that black people have more sweat glands per unit area than white and yellow people in the palms and soles of their feet, and that the sweat glands are much thicker. Secondly, black skin contains more melanin, which can absorb ultraviolet rays from the sun, thereby protecting the blood vessels and nerves in the skin from damage. Again, Africans' hair is almost always curly, with plenty of gaps around each one, which acts like a cool hat when the blazing sun radiates overhead. Because of the above reasons, blacks are very heat-tolerant. On the contrary, they have a low resistance to the cold. This time, Li Huan marched in a hurry, but he didn't prepare much materials to protect him from the cold, so Li Huan thought about it, simply stopped, and pointed to the snow slope of a plain next to him, "Stop, let's build a shelter on the spot, and wait until this storm is over." ”

"Boss, we don't have anything but snow here," Leon exclaimed.

Li Huan nodded, "I know there's nothing but snow here, so I'm going to collect snow bricks and prepare to build a snow house." You guys are in the leeward place and waiting, and it will be all right soon. ”

It is very important to build a shelter in the wild, and without a shelter, it is likely to be attacked by insects and animals or suffer misfortune due to hypothermia, so it is particularly important to master the construction methods of various shelters. If it's in the rainforest or desert, you can build a shelter with local materials, but as Leon said, there's nothing but snow. But people are smart, and in order to cope with this situation, the Akismos living in the Arctic region have found a different way to build igloos.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we dug a hole in the snow," says Rovisha and Agata who have survived in their generation.

"The snow cave is not good, this snowstorm does not know when it will stop, if I dig the snow hole, we may be buried alive. The new snow is powdery, and as long as the hole is buried, it will be difficult to get out, unless you use the aura to blast it open, but that would be contrary to our original intention. Li Huan said, "Okay, you guys wait, it'll be fine soon." ”

As he said this, he cut and made snow bricks and built snow igloos. Snow bricks are specially found for those compacted snow and cut out according to needs. So the igloo is both built and hewn. It is based on the horizon, both to the sky and into the ground, which is the beauty of the igloo. The snow bricks are built one by one, and with each lap, they shrink inward a little, and the circles become smaller and smaller, until they form a closed, hemispherical dome.

Li Huan stood in the snow room and added the last snow brick to the top to cap. From the cracks of various snow bricks, the blue light is transmitted, which is so beautiful that there is no need for lights during the day.

When Li Huan cut the snow bricks, he used a weak aura flow, which would not cause a reaction from the aura radar. Soon, Li Huan's snow house was built, and he clapped his hands and beckoned, "It's almost capped, come on." ”

"You're still an architect. Shangguan Qing was the first to come over, saw the snow dance built by Li Huan, and praised it.

The snow house built by Li Huan is indeed very beautiful, the whole is round, which can not only block the biting cold wind, but also protect the roof so that it will not melt. The practice of digging deep holes and building shallow roofs in the snow room makes everyone actually stay underground, which is relatively warmer than living on the ground. Although the igloo is more troublesome and time-consuming than a snow cave, it is a warm shelter for long, cold nights.

Everyone entered the shelter built by Li Huan, and suddenly the sturdy snow hut isolated the storm outside. As long as there is no storm, everyone's physique can still withstand it. Outside the blood house, the knife-like storm was blowing on the snowy roofs, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and it was obvious that the strength of the storm was getting stronger and stronger, and everyone was terrified when they heard it. At first, everyone thought that the physique of a qi refiner would have no problem dealing with the natural weather. But now everyone knows that this is simply a fantasy. The power of human beings, no matter how much they cultivate, cannot be against nature. After all, cultivators are going against the sky, and now it is the punishment from the heavens, and no one can resist it.

"Great, boss, you really expected it. Rodman shuddered, "If the boss hadn't had the foresight to dig this igloo, we would all be dead by now." ”

"Okay, don't be a sycophant, it looks like we won't be able to walk today, this storm won't stop for a while, but fortunately, we've already walked two-thirds of the way. When the storm has subsided, we can reach the summit and descend slowly from the other side, and then it will not be too difficult. ”

After speaking, Li Huan put out a lot of food from the virtual space and said, "Now everyone hurry up and eat something, and everyone takes turns to keep vigil at night." ”

"Boss, what kind of night is it in this weather" Li Ang quickly grabbed a pack of compressed biscuits and nibbled on it.

These things were all bought by Li Huan in Triangle Town. Although the preparation was not sufficient, Li Huan brought enough food. As long as there is food, Li Huan has an inexhaustible aura. As long as Li Huan's aura is still sufficient, there will be no major problems. However, Li Huan still has some regrets now, because he feels that he has made it easy to climb thousands of meters of mountain. Although he was emphasizing to everyone that cultivators were no big deal, he himself underestimated all of this.

If it weren't for Li Huan's snow house to be built quickly, I'm afraid something would have happened.

Moreover, when it came to this mountain peak, Li Huan always felt that something was wrong, and the feeling of being stared at by something appeared again. But this time it was a different feeling than in the Philippines. In fact, when the entire team exceeded 4,000 meters above sea level, Li Huan was often frightened by his mental power. It's as if something dangerous is hidden in some dark place that Li Huan can't see, and it will burst out and hurt people at any time. This feeling is not to be watched, but to be peeped at by something with bad intentions.

Thinking of Dyatlov what happened here, Li Huan said, "Don't care about what to guard, in short, I think something is wrong here." Wake up, everybody. ”
