Chapter 100: The Gates of Hell
"The droppings in this area indicate that there are reindeer passing by here, which is good news for me, and if I'm lucky, I might be able to catch a deer here."
"That way, my food problem will be solved."
"It's really hard to find food in a desolate place like Alaska."
The meaning of Chen Ziqiu's words is that he doesn't plan to eat any feces, but just wants to rely on these feces to find traces of reindeer.
Some viewers who expect Chen Ziqiu to eat feces will be disappointed, and for those girls who don't want Chen Ziqiu to do this, they are relieved at this time.
My idol finally didn't do such a thing, it's okay! OK!
Following the droppings of these reindeer, Chen Ziqiu quickly found their hoof prints.
"These are the footprints they left behind, and now I can follow them and hopefully find them."
As he spoke, Chen Ziqiu began to follow the footprints of these reindeer and began to run wildly on the snow.
He was moving fast, but when Chen Ziqiu had traveled a while, he found that he could no longer move on.
The snow in front of you looks a little off.
Soon, Chen Ziqiu noticed the abnormality.
"Guys, it seems that I can't easily follow this route to track those reindeer."
When Chen Ziqiu said this, his face was also a little helpless.
But this little helplessness is fleeting.
Soon, Chen Ziqiu became confident.
In such a desolate area, he was not afraid of the arrival of danger, to say that he was afraid, Chen Ziqiu was just a little afraid of the unknown danger.
Now here, since he can clearly see the danger, he is not so worried.
"Before I set foot on this dangerous place in front of me, I would like to say some digressions to everyone and let you know a little bit about science."
Chen Ziqiu slowed down his pace of progress at this time and began to talk to the audience.
"Our planet is a blue planet in the vast universe, and the miraculous water of life gives it its most beautiful appearance. However, water at the poles of the earth could not bear the strange cold of the polar regions, and condensed into a white world. ”
"If you have the opportunity to fly over Antarctica, you will find that the Antarctic continent is a plateau with a central uplift and a gentle slope to all sides, and the huge and deep ice layer is like a silver cauldron lid, which is upside down on top of the Antarctic Continent, so it is also called the Antarctic ice sheet. The thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet is quite staggering, with an average thickness of 2,000 meters, and the thickest place is 4,800 meters, especially when the Antarctic winter falls, when the continental ice sheet joins with the fixed sea ice in the surrounding oceans, forming a white ice sheet of 33 million square kilometers, an area larger than the entire African continent. ”
The audience was a little dumbfounded, this old man seemed to be saying something inconsequential, which made everyone a little confused.
"Chen Laoshi, how do you say that the South Pole has gone, this Alaska, at most, is close to the Arctic Circle."
"Confused."
"Just look at what Chen Laoshi says next."
This will be, the audience is talking.
"The highest point of the Antarctic ice sheet is about 51 degrees south latitude and 75 degrees east longitude, at an altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level. Due to gravity, the movement of the ice sheet towards the bottom of the arc causes the ice to crack, and the ice sheet is covered with countless crevasses of ice hidden under the snow that are invisible to the naked eye. ”
When hearing this, many people seemed to be a little relieved.
This old and wet, the focus of these should be on the ice crevices.
Because on the road in front of him, there may be a lot of ice crevasses under the snow.
"What I want to tell you is the ice crevasse, although the ice crevasse in Alaska is not as scary as Antarctica, but it can also be very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may die here."
Chen Ziqiu's next words also directly confirmed the audience's conjecture.
"If I say one word, people may have an impression."
"Hell's Gate, have you heard?"
Many viewers may have heard of this term, but most people don't know the origin of the Gates of Hell, or that the Gates of Hell are called in many places, so the concept is vague.
"The criss-crossed ice crevasses are more terrifying than blizzards, and in Antarctica, some are even as deep as a thousand meters, and the ice crevices that gradually turn from white to blue are bubbling with white gas, like a magic bottle that has been opened. The most dangerous thing is that there is a thin layer of ice called an ice bridge on the ice crevice, and people on the ice can't see if there is an ice crevice underneath, and the collapse will only occur when people or vehicles pass by. ”
Hearing Chen Ziqiu's words, the audience began to understand a lot of things about the ice crevices, and gradually realized its danger.
"The section of snow in front of me is a glacier, and there are probably some ice crevasses on it, and they may be up to a hundred meters deep."
"But for now, I'm going to show you how to avoid such a danger in such a situation."
With that, Chen Ziqiu continued to walk forward.
He himself told the audience about the ice cracks in this area, but this guy still didn't seem to be prepared for anything, and kept going like this.
He didn't frown.
"There was an American hiker who came to a glacier in Alaska two years ago, and he was tied to two companions with a rope, and when he fell into the ice, he dragged two of his companions down the Yellow Springs."
Listening to Chen Ziqiu say this, it made everyone feel a little more in awe of the ice and snow world in Alaska.
It seems that in a place like this, it is really dangerous.
"Now, I'm going to tell you how to avoid that."
As he spoke, Chen Ziqiu finally began to stop his footsteps and squatted down in place.
……
Lisa's family began to gather in front of the computer at this time.
With a hint of excitement, they were watching Chen Ziqiu's live broadcast.
Lisa and her mother watched the live broadcast very easily, because they could both understand Chinese, only Nick, who didn't know much about Chinese, so he was always a little confused.
But even so, through Chen Ziqiu's gestures and so on, Nick was able to understand some of what Chen Ziqiu was doing.
What makes the family happy is that Chen Ziqiu is really an expert in wilderness survival, watching him trek through snow-capped mountains, glide over slopes, and judge the direction of the wind through the snow.
Now I have to teach everyone how to avoid being in areas with ice crevices and survive safely.
Obviously, their family has realized that Chen Ziqiu is not looking for death, it is his true ability.
