Chapter 432 [The Peak is Coming (Second Watch)]
(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)
……
If you don't climb a mountain, you'll never feel what it's like to climb the extreme region with thin air, overcoming your own gravity and equipment, extreme cold weather, and wind speeds of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.
Familiar viewers in the live broadcast room used to watch Chen Ergou's live broadcast, always walking with the wind, and the walking speed was very fast, but walking here has become very slow.
Because each step consumes a lot of energy.
For example, running in the flat land for an hour is more than 500 calories, they climb in high-altitude polar environments and climb with ice axes, the daily calorie consumption is more than 15,000 calories, climbing for a few hours in high-altitude areas, which is equivalent to ordinary people running for 30 hours, in areas of more than 6,500 meters, sleep with oxygen masks.
And 8848 is just a number, a number that goes beyond the physiological limit for human beings, even if you go up, Mount Everest is still Mount Everest, and it has never been conquered.
For the next few days, Chen Ergou trained separately from the mountaineering team, and his training was to carry oxygen and ropes to higher altitudes with the weight-bearing team.
In order to adapt to the alpine environment, each person's red blood cell count was increased by 50% to absorb as much oxygen as possible. Although the human body can make such a big adjustment to human stupidity, most of the time, they still feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Chen Ergou can bear it, and he has always been the one in the best condition in the team.
The terrain between the 7,790-meter camp and the 8,300-meter assault camp is mostly a mixed area of ice and rock, and the slope of this section of the road is not too large, and it is relatively safe.
The tents of the assault camp seem to be hung on a cliff, and from here you can faintly see the summit of Mount Everest.
A climber has a chance to enter the assault camp, which means that he has a chance to reach the top.
Still, there are two major hurdles waiting for climbers from the assault camp to the summit. One is a snow-covered cross-cut road, with an abyss below, and the slightest mistake can lead to a terrible slip. Then there's the famous "Chinese Ladder", a near-vertical rock wall at 8,700 meters, known as the "Second Step", where Chinese mountaineers erected a metal ladder in 1975.
A few days later, on a sunny day, Chen Ergou and others finally set up a tent in the 8,300-meter assault camp. It is only 100 meters above sea level to the top, but it takes several hours to climb.
He looked at the peak from afar and said leisurely: "I can actually climb it now, but there is no reason to stay after I go up." ”
Hearing this, people don't know what to think.
Anyone who has watched him play will not think that this sentence is pretending.
Everyone has been training together for so long, they are all familiar with each other, and they have met more than once to ask everyone to climb Mount Everest together. In this small Everest society that pays attention to teamwork, he can't climb to the top privately and then abandon everyone.
But everyone knows that he is impatient to reach the top.
Fortunately, at this point, his [Mountaineering] skill has also been improved to (C)LV8 (MAX), and even the progress of [Genomics] has reached 35%, and the power that his body can exert attributes is also more sufficient, and his state has never been better!
Everything is ready, just wait for a good weather!
Chen Ergou's efforts also inspired everyone, and the team members would hike to the base camp, and go back and forth between the four base camps at an increasing altitude to conduct high-altitude adaptation training, and review how to use alpine and ice climbing equipment.
During this period of time, various high-altitude training has caused many people to have various symptoms of physical discomfort, and their physical strength before reaching the summit is much less than before.
Qingtian contracted pneumonia and was forced to return to the base camp for treatment.
Qin Feiyu caught a cold and coughed constantly, making people wonder if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Wang Shi's physical strength was so poor that when he climbed the C2 camp once, he almost collapsed in the ice crevice, and he was in danger.
He may not be able to compare his mountaineering skills with young people, but his personality is admirable. In this small team, he tried his best to help everyone, and often talked about some business experiences in Chen Ergou's live broadcast room, which attracted a lot of popularity for him.
His work may not be so diligent that he can climb Mount Everest with a high salary. However, the company's performance is very good, and it can also have a good growth every year.
As the saying goes, in management, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Wang Shi may be the guy who stands higher and sees farther away. At that time, when every large group was desperately trying to get the land price to create the land king, Wang Shi found another way, cooperated with local enterprises or consortia to get the land, and would rather not take the land price, which created today's real estate tycoon.
However, he didn't have any shares, and he didn't know if he regretted the transfer of shares.
Chen Yaya suffered from insomnia for five days in a row and was in very poor spirits. Last year, he was persuaded to quit after eight days of insomnia, and this time it seems that the situation is not getting better. But he was a strong man, and the team leaders were skeptical that he would make it to the top.
Chu Nan Guyue was also very bad, on a snowy night, his calf cramped three times in a row, and it was frozen. He had rheumatism, which had been cured, and now apparently relapsed. When I get here, I get habitual leg cramps, which is not a good sign. Especially the last C3 training, I almost couldn't finish it.
Chen Ergou had a good relationship with him, invited him to live in his tent, and helped him massage his calves.
"Lao Chu, your situation, mountaineering...... It's tough, you're a doctor, you should know that. ”
Chu Nan Guyue was silent, "This is what Lao Huang asked you to tell me, right?"
Chen Ergou didn't hide it, "Yes, they are very worried that you won't be able to go up, let me tell you." It's best to let yourself give up, but the decision is yours. ”
Chu Nan Guyue's face was very bad, and he took out a photo from his arms and handed it to Chen Ergou, Chen Ergou looked at it suspiciously, and found that it was a beautiful girl holding a seven or eight-year-old boy. This should be his daughter, "It's beautiful, this is your daughter." Fortunately, I didn't follow you, my sister-in-law must be very beautiful. ”
A group of otaku in the live broadcast room have already started drooling, shouting "father-in-law".
"Hey, yes, my daughter, follow her mother. ”
Chu Nan Guyue said proudly: "Her name is Chu Nanzhao, and she is in her senior year today." It's beautiful, why don't you want me to introduce you to you, she's only three years younger than you. As everyone knows, now in a hospital in Beijing, the girl who is watching the live broadcast is full of shame, and she can't wait to fly over and pinch her father.
"If you want to take advantage of me, no way! Who is this little boy?"
The little boy in the girl's arms was shaved and sickly, and he was still wearing a hospital gown.
"This is my youngest son, his name is Chu Nankang, he has leukemia and will have surgery in the second half of the year. Chu Nan Guyue said with a kind face: "After knowing that he can see me from you, he likes to watch your live broadcast very much, and he also turned out your previous shows to watch all day long, and now he is your fan, and he likes Rengar the most." But leopards can't afford to keep them, so I recently adopted a small black cat......"
Unexpectedly, he came up with such an answer, Chen Ergou's heart shook slightly, "Then is he still watching it now?"
Chu Nan Guyue shook her head and said, "I just finished talking to his mother on the phone, and the child is already asleep, so I told you this." ”
"Xiao Chen, I have to reach the top. ”
"I don't want my child to think that his dad can't do it, I want to go to the top and show him that his dad can still climb Mount Everest even though he is old, so he can fight the disease as well. So I have to get to the top......"
Chen Ergou was silent, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also very surprised. Adopting a little black cat because he likes Rengar is something that many fans have done, and it's really a fan behavior. Can ...... now This cute little fan is suffering from illness, and people don't know what to say.
They never thought that there would be such an untold story about the good old doctor who had always been smiling in the team, and he who was ridiculed as a "virgin" in the live broadcast room. And in a hospital in the capital, his daughter Chu Nanzhao and his wife Hu Ailian, who were watching the live broadcast, were all in tears when they saw this.
After a long time, Chen Ergou handed the photo back, "When I go back, can I take a look at him?"
With his words, Chu Nan Guyue knew that she could stay, and said happily: "Thank you, Xiao Chen." I think Xiaokang will be very happy. ”
……
The time to climb the mountain is not decided by people, but by the weather.
Everyone is waiting for two weeks of good weather.
This season's weather on the Mont Notre-Dame is the best in memory of the day.
While adapting to the high altitude, it is not necessary to bask in the sun and sleep all day, and the weather forecast program here in the north is very advanced. All the information is fed into a computer program and made into charts, and Huang Cong has been studying the data and the weather outside.
He checks the weather forecast every 6 hours, but not in interest. If the wind suddenly picks up or the temperature drops, a team member may die if he is outdoors.
That night, Huang Cong suddenly called everyone to a meeting, "Everyone, there is good news. According to the weather forecast, there will be three consecutive sunny days suitable for the summit the day after tomorrow, and the team originally planned to wait until the end of the month to attack the summit. Therefore, after consulting with the guides, the date of the summit was decided to be brought forward. What do you think?"
It's a gamble.
Because their team is backed by the Holy Mountain Company, everyone knows that their team will have the latest weather information, and with the support of the Holy Mountain Company, their knowledge of mountaineering experience and weather is better than that of other expedition leaders.
Many people are silently watching their movements.
As soon as this team leaves, the advance base camp will start to attack the top, and other less experienced teams will follow. If the other expeditions get the first step, his team could be stuck in the death zone. Waiting at that height is a joke with life.
But sometimes you have to take a gamble, and who wouldn't want to make it to the top.
Everyone looked at each other and had no opinion.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Wang Shi asked, "What should Lao Qing do?"
Huang Cong said: "I will contact him and ask for his opinion. In principle, his situation is no longer suitable for reaching the top, but look at his performance. If he wants to reach the top, he must catch up with the advance camp before the day after tomorrow. ”
Everyone came together, and emotionally, naturally hoped to go down the mountain together. But here, you can't be emotional.
Although rescue teams exist, above 8,000 meters above sea level, the definition of morality is different.
Rescue teams should make sure they can return safely before considering helping the stranded, amateur mountaineering teams should bypass them to prevent themselves from getting into trouble as well, and rescue teams should rescue the strongest trapped people first and abandon the weak......
This is "the rescue team and other mountaineering teams that have to turn a blind eye to the dying on the road".
The decision is up to you, and no one can make decisions for others!
Wang Shi sighed and said, "I have no opinion, but I recommend Xiao Wang to be the leader of the mountaineering team after going up the mountain." He hasn't made it to the top, but I think with him leading the way, we have a better chance of making it to the top. ”
This proposal was also surprising, and then thinking about Chen Ergou's performance these days, he was relieved. Instead, he looked at Chen Ergou expectantly.
Huang Cong is a member of the Holy Mountain Company, so naturally he is not a person who wants to die for rights, and said with a smile: "I have no opinion, Xiao Chen is very powerful, at least when he encounters danger, someone can free his hand to help." Xiao Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Ergou said helplessly: "Then follow me, I will try my best to help everyone, but don't expect too much, mountaineering is your own business after all." If you feel that you can't do it anymore after going up the mountain, you must have a clear understanding of yourself. ”
Everyone looked at each other, already very satisfied, Wang Shi said: "Applaud our second leader!"
"Bang Bang Bang!~"
For a while, applause erupted.
has thighs, so it is natural to make trouble and hug tightly. Wang Shi deserves to be an old fox, and he took the lead in hugging this golden thigh.
After everyone made a statement, Langa, the head of the Holy Mountain Climbing Association, also said: "The last section of the road to the top is so narrow that only one person can pass through. ”
"There are still more ice crevices and stairbridges in the middle, and they can only tolerate one person passing slowly before the second person can walk up. In a day, there are only a maximum of 60 people at the top, and if too many people grab the rope and climb up slowly, it can be a big problem. Therefore, the specific plan to attack the top needs to be kept secret. ”
Huang Cong also said: "There are more than 400 people waiting to reach the summit, and I know the climbing time of some people, but the environment here is too complicated. As far as I know, there are three teams that climbed the same day as us, and whether there are more is not certain. We have to play tricks. ”
