Chapter 1584: -24 degrees Celsius



One by one, the O2 team climbed up the steel beam, where they were on a small platform three meters wide and six meters long. In fact, it is not a platform deliberately set aside, but an extra section when erecting steel beams. Because it is between the offshore platform and the seawater, it is equivalent to a suspended platform.

Fortunately, this location is also very secluded. It is difficult to find this dead end, either on the platform or on the supply ship not far away. How to make use of this position is also a plan that Lin Rui and others came up with after pondering many times.

After climbing up, the team members were wheezing. Lin Rui leaned against the cold steel frame and quickly patted the water trails on his body. In such a cold sea breeze, if you don't dry yourself, the surface of the wetsuit will soon freeze. They were all quickly drying themselves out, then opening the waterproof bags and putting on their winter coats.

Because the temperature under the water is higher than the surface of the water, they do not feel cold underwater. However, after getting out of the water, the body temperature drops sharply in the cold sea breeze, so you must immediately put on a warm suit. The team members were huddled together in heavy warm suits, and Lin Rui did not take off the hood of the diving suit, in this case, it is also good to have an extra layer of gel clothing to protect it.

What's more, the head of the human body is the most prone to emit heat, and he just continues to cover it with a heavy warm coat and hat, and the team members also follow him.

Lin Rui connected to Cobain's communication, "Cobain, can you hear it?" Test signal, we have successfully arrived at the designated location, what time is it?"

"I can hear you, and I can even see the Crazy Horse in front of you through your battlefield recorder, even though the network transmission is very late. God, you guys look so embarrassed. Cobain whispered, "I'm so lucky that we're just a technical support team, and we don't have to suffer with you." ”

"Alright, I need to know how long it will take for the supply ship to finish?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"They only resupply once in a long time, so they can't do it fast. I guess you'll have to endure it for three hours or more. Cobain replied.

"Okay. Lin Rui looked back at the team members and said helplessly.

"How's your situation?" said Lin Rui, looking back at the team members.

Crazy Horse's face turned purple from the cold, and he shook his head, "I don't even want to talk too much, so as not to burn calories." ”

"It's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, blowing a sea breeze in the Arctic Ocean. Sandro smiled wryly.

"It's just the Bering Sea, and there's still a gap from the Arctic Ocean. Lin Rui said with a wry smile, spewing hot air every time he said a word. "Sitting close to each other is good for maintaining body temperature. Damn, the last time it was so cold was in damn Western Siberia. ”

Due to the needs of special operations, the O2 team members have been exercising at considerable intensity. So they are in excellent physical condition, and the proportion of fat and muscle in their bodies is maintained at the best. But at this time, Lin Rui suddenly began to envy Long Noon's fat body. At least people with higher body fat are more frost-tolerant.

"You know, guys, I'm suddenly starting to envy the fat dragon's flesh. If this guy is wrapped in a wetsuit, he will feel like a fat seal. Lin Rui joked.

"He's, he's a seal, he's a walrus. Sergey laughed.

"Hey, tap. "Crazy Horse said dissatisfied.

"It's okay, such a strong sea breeze, even if he shouts hoarsely, no one can hear it. "Damn, we've only been up for a while, and the water trails are already frozen." Guess how many degrees there are now?"

"-24 degrees Celsius. Lin Rui looked at his watch, "The body temperature is thirty-six degrees two, which is barely normal." But if the body temperature drops below 35 degrees, we are in danger, and everyone has to watch their body temperature. Avoid symptoms of hypothermia. ”

Hypothermia, also known as hypothermia or hypothermia, is a symptom in which the body temperature of a living organism drops below the temperature required for normal metabolism and physiological functions. For homeotherms, core body temperature is usually maintained at a constant level through biological homeostasis.

However, when the body is exposed to cold, this internal mechanism may no longer be able to replenish the heat lost in the environment. Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops below 35C. Severe hypothermia often presents with impaired consciousness, nuchal rigidity, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia, or arrhythmias.

This is very fatal for the combatants. They had only been there for more than ten minutes, but their body temperature had been dropping. The main reason is that this location is too special, completely in the position where the sea breeze blows directly, and the wind blows on the face and hurts. In addition, the terrain is limited, so it is difficult to move around. Several of the team members couldn't help but stand up and stomp their feet because their feet were numb.

"If we can't go on like this, we will lose our combat effectiveness if we don't engage in battle. Crazy Horse whispered.

"Don't be nervous, we still have this. Lin Rui took out a few bags of things from the waterproof bag.

"What is this?" said Crazy Horse with a frown.

"Field army rations. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Good thing to replenish calories." I asked Aladdin to prepare it. ”

"You can't eat so quickly, except for some wine. Sergei said with a reluctant smile, this Russian guy is not lightly frozen.

"It's not like you Yankees' chocolate beans and mre rations. Not only for eating, but also for heating. Lin Rui smiled, "Type 09 individual self-heating food, serious Chinese goods." With a heating pack, it will heat up in 3-5 seconds after encountering water, the temperature will be up to more than 150C, the steam temperature will be higher, and the maximum holding time can be up to 3 hours, which is hot to the hand. ”

Lin Rui added water to a bag and pressed it with his hand, and soon hot air came out. Crazy Horse immediately snatched it up, "God, this is the best thing I've ever seen." My fingers were almost unconscious. ”

"There are not many things, one per person, the food is fried rice, you can eat it while it is hot after heating, and the heating bag can be used to keep warm. We still have three long hours to hold on. Keep your body from freezing, especially your hands and feet. Frostbite at low temperatures, even more troublesome than burns. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"Great. Sergei held the food and kept moving his hands and feet, "Eating hot food is the best way to keep warm, why didn't I think of this trick." ”

"Because you secretly carried vodka in your arms, don't think I don't know. You know the rules, you can't drink alcohol during missions. Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"Well, I'm just here to keep warm. I swear. Sergei sighed.

"Only a mentally abnormal person would believe the oath of a Russian drunkard. However, this time is a special case, and I will not take it as an example. Lin Rui shook his head.

"Rick, did anyone say you're a great captain?" Sergey held up the flask, "Captain." ”
