Chapter 435 [Midnight Attack (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)]
Above 8,000 meters above sea level, a person's intelligence may be reduced to the level of a 6-year-old child due to a high degree of hypoxia.
Cerebral edema and pulmonary edema can be fatal within 36 hours.
It's a great pleasure to be able to drink a cup of hot tea here. But regardless of how high the temperature is, even in Lhasa, which is 3,500 meters above sea level, the boiling point of water is less than 80 degrees Celsius.
There seem to be a lot fewer climbers today than yesterday, which is the benefit of taking option one, avoiding camping at around 7,500 meters of wind, saving a day compared to others.
But this is more physically demanding for everyone.
The weather was very bad, the wind was very fast, there was heavy snow in the wind, and the ice blowing on the face was no different from sand hitting the face.
Chen Ergou took off his mask and said to the camera: "Friends, I will arrive at the assault camp today." I'm going to continue to climb the summit without oxygen, that's my choice. ”
"The history of humans using oxygen to climb Mount Everest began in 1922. That was the British team on the north side of Mount Everest, reaching an altitude of 8,320 meters. Seven Sherpas were killed in an avalanche, the first official death on Everest. Their use of oxygen by Finch and Bruce proves that oxygen plays a vital role in human climbs at super-high altitudes. ”
But at the time, there was a heated debate about the use of oxygen. They don't think they need to carry oxygen, and they mock the oxygen equipment. Many people's opposition to the use of oxygen is based on ethical grounds. They regard the use of oxygen as a 'goddamn heresy'. ”
Even today, the two-sided attitude towards the use of oxygen persists in the expeditions that followed to conquer Mount Everest. Doubts have also been expressed about the nature of using oxygen to climb Mount Everest or other peaks above 8,000 meters. ”
"I'm not against the use of oxygen, but I prefer to think that people have to challenge the mountains on their own. ”
This is the first time that someone has reached the summit of Mount Everest in full live broadcast after the rise of live broadcasting, and it may also be the first time that a Chinese have reached the summit without oxygen in the whole process.
As Chen Ergou climbed higher and higher altitudes, more and more people began to pay attention to the process of his ascent to the top.
"The ice cliff under Mount Everest, which is more than 8,000 meters above sea level, is known as the "Death Zone", and the corpses of dreamers scattered on Everest are silent proof. ”
"At this high altitude, the body's digestive function has almost stopped, and the body automatically consumes its own muscle and fat tissue for energy. When I came here, I had a lot of effort to do anything, and I was slow to do anything, and I was wheezing just by lying down and standing up. ”
"No one has ever survived in a dead zone for five days, and even with bottled oxygen, the human body still craves to absorb more oxygen. Everyone tried to stay on the ice shelves, and only the safety ropes erected by the Sherpas prevented them from falling down the mountain. ”
On the way to the top, the corpse is the signpost.
When he met the first one, he deliberately looked at the altitude gauge, which showed that it was 8,200 meters. The red down jacket, the same color as his down jacket, "looks like a warning sign for the line." ”
"It seems that he or she has reached the top, and this is on the way back. It's a pity that he passed away. The raised hand seemed to be an indictment of God, and it seemed to be shouting to his teammates, "Don't leave me." ”
"The Nepalese government regularly goes up to clean up the bodies on the mountain, collects the bodies and buries them in a centralized manner. Some of the remains are too high to be transported down the mountain, or under the cracks and cliffs, which can be seen but cannot be processed, so they can only be left there and become signposts for future generations. ”
Chen Ergou gasped and stopped, and behind him Appa asked, "Are-you–ok?" He kept following Chen Ergou, although Chen Ergou never asked him for help.
"I'm fine, thank you!"
After a short break, he turned to the camera and said, "'At this altitude, one can't demand a moral size.'" Here's what Jon Collecall, author of Into the Thin Air Zone, said. Mountaineering is a mirror that illuminates everyone clearly. In such an environment, the personality of the person will be magnified, and selfishness, desire, impetuousness, ...... can be observed"
"I hope I don't turn out like this. ”
The altitude is only 500 meters above sea level, but it is too difficult to get there.
"Hey, is anybody there, is anybody there? Ahhhhhh ”
A loud shout suddenly came over the radio, startling everyone.
"Whirring ......"
Chen Ergou connected the walkie-talkie: "Old Chen, you are behind, I can't see you, are you okay?"
His familiar voice of questioning was reassuring. The leader of the team when everyone asked him to reach the top was a sign of trust in him. Although he did not need this trust, he still did his job well.
"I can't see, am I blind?"
Chen Yaya's voice was full of uneasiness and anxiety, and the team channel instantly fell silent.
“…… I can't see anymore, my eyes can't see anymore. ”
"Don't go around......" Dorjee's voice came into his ears, he was assigned to Chen Yaya's assistant. As soon as Chen Ergou heard that something was wrong, he immediately began to turn around and walk back. Huang Cong said: "I'll go with you!"
Chen Ergou denied: "Lao Huang, you stay and continue to lead the team forward, Lao Chu, you will return with me!"
Chu Nan Guyue's physical strength was not very good, and when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but he still resolutely turned back together.
"Sit on the ground and don't move. ”
Chen Ergou's roar spread through the headset.
"He's sane. ”
Dorjee was a little at a loss.
"Dorjee, grab him and don't let him move. ”
Everyone was worried, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also shocked, paying close attention to the progress of the situation.
There was a time when someone suddenly lost his sight after successfully reaching the summit of Mount Everest. His companions and rescuers tried to help him descend the mountain, but three Sherpa guides came to help, but after a full four hours, he barely walked 60 meters, and the rescuers managed to reach an altitude of 8,600 meters, which is still a "dead zone".
Above 8,000 meters on Mount Everest is described by climbers as a "dead zone", and due to the lack of oxygen, most climbers have to do everything in their power to make sure they make it down alive, let alone take care of other people.
In the end, he could only let his body remain alone on Mount Everest and rest here forever.
When Chen Ergou rushed over first, he found that Dorjee was sitting on the ground with Chen Yaya, his fingers kept shaking in front of his eyes, but Chen Yaya was really as blind as a blind man, and white foam flowed out of the corners of his mouth, all of which were frozen.
"What the hell is going on?"
Dorjee said: "I followed him and found that he seemed to have suddenly lost his sense of direction, began to stumble, and stumbled a few times. Then he started screaming like crazy, saying he couldn't see, and then he didn't seem to be sane!"
Chu Nan Guyue opened his eyelids and looked at it, and found that his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of hideous expressions, which looked like zombies, but it scared the audience, "Can't you see it at all?"
The "......" did not answer.
"Give him more oxygen!" Chen Ergou pinched the acupoints of others, massaged several acupoints on his brain, and Chu Nan Guyue took out an emergency injection and gave him an injection. Everyone has been busy for a long time, and Chen Yaya's eyes finally began to shine a little.
This small recovery is enough to make everyone excited. The live broadcast room was also boiling.
But the danger is clearly not over.
"Lao Chen, can you see things?"
Ask questions continuously, only to get a little response.
Perhaps sensing that someone was coming, Chen Yaya gradually calmed down, but he was full of uneasiness, "...... Only a little outline could be seen, and it was all shaking in circles. Am I blind?"
Chu Nan Guyue's face was full of sadness, and she said, "It's okay, it's just temporary blindness." Have you ever had such a condition before?"
Chen Yaya's thinking seemed to change very slowly, and he asked several times in a row before he gradually reacted and said, "Yes...... Over ......"
Chu Nan Guyue didn't force him to answer, and said, "You have to send him down the mountain, his brain reaction is very slow now, and there is a possibility of cerebral edema." He'd happened before, but never suddenly went blind in an alpine environment. Now there is a lack of oxygen in the mountains, he is semi-conscious, and his blindness is not caused by snow blindness, because he does not feel any pain. ”
Chen Ergou groaned, asked the most experienced Apa to stay, and took Dorjee and two other Sherpa mountain guides to help Chen Yaya start to return to Camp C2 while letting the rescue team move.
"In the mouth below, there is an extra oxygen cylinder, and the oxygen should not be interrupted. ”
"Okay, I can't help you anymore, Chen, you have to be careful yourself. Appa stayed, hugged Chen Ergou and said goodbye, and began to turn back.
This is the only way, and sending an extra Sherpa is unfair to others.
Chen Ergou had already done his duty, but he sent his guide out, and in doing so, it made the audience in the live broadcast room feel uneasy.
"Let's hope nothing happens again!"
The mountaineering continued, with Chen Ergou here, even if Chu Nan Guyue was physically exhausted halfway, he could carry him up.
By the time they arrived, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
The weather was so bad that we couldn't hear the sound of the wind blowing, and we could only talk to each other by roaring.
Huang Cong came over, looking anxious, "The weather is too bad, if you go on like this, you won't be able to reach the top at all!"
"I think the weather will get better when the sun goes down, as it always has been. What about the others?"
"Over there, South Africa, Great Britain, the United States, Australia, they're all waiting. There are so many people that the mountain road can only be passed by one person, which is really bad. ”
Chen Ergou ignored his anxiety and quickly made a decision, "They wait, we wait!"
After speaking, he took Lao Chu into the tent, and the wind immediately subsided a lot.
The assault camp is set up on an outcropping rocky slope of around 8,300 meters.
Chen Ergou drank a few sips of water to feel better, and said to the camera: "Friends, the original plan was to sleep immediately, but it was impossible. ”
"At such a high altitude, it is difficult for anyone to sleep, even with drugs, they can only sleep for two or three hours. If all goes well, it's time to reach the summit tonight!"
"I'm going to eat something and try to rest for a while. I won't turn off the live broadcast, see you in the evening!"
After saying that, he gnawed on the Snickers.
Since I might have to set off to reach the summit in the early morning, I couldn't sleep long, so I could only take a nap in the tent.
However, the news that Chen Ergou will "hit the top tonight" has spread all over the Internet, and I don't know how many people's heartstrings have been touched. It has attracted more attention in the past few days, but they definitely don't want to miss the moment of reaching the summit, and fortunately it is at night.
Master Li took one day off, and there was no reason to take the next day. She worked very hard today and finished filming her role early. Li Zhongli felt that she was in good shape, and planned to work overtime to shoot a few night scenes.
"Ah......h
Master Li was dumbfounded, self-defeating, "Director, I'm ...... I've got something to do tonight. ”
Li Zhongli rolled his eyes, "What can I do, I play with a tablet every day when I film, when I don't know." That's it, tonight should be the day when Xiao Chen will reach the top. ”
"Yes, yes, director, you also watch the live broadcast. ”
"Look at the fart, I'm busy all day, where is the time to watch the live broadcast. ”
was reprimanded, and Master Li didn't feel any better, it was better than having to work overtime to shoot night scenes. finally ran out and found that Mu Yi Xiaomi was already pinching his phone and waiting there, "It's just your ink, okay." ”
"Okay, okay, I didn't see Xiaoxin, I'll look for it. ”
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxin was still grinding, "Xiaoxin, you haven't taken off your makeup yet, let's go!"
"Wait a minute, it'll be fine right away!" Lin Xiaoxin took off his braids and rushed out with his bald head. was stopped at the door, "Xiaoxin, where are you going, are you going for dinner?"
"Oh, Brother Long, what about playing games, make an appointment to visit the Internet café together tonight. Are you going?"
"Playing games, teachers also play games?"
"Senior sister played bubble hall, don't talk about it, urge again, I'm leaving. If you want to come, go to the Internet café at the hotel and look for me. ”
When they couldn't wait to walk into the private room of the Internet café and open the live broadcast room while nibbling on takeout, they found that it was a completely apocalyptic scene.
