Chapter 34: The Terror of Antarctica
The snow water turned into hot water, and Fang Hong did not hesitate to take a cup first to replenish the heat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The self-heating bag will continue to have a heating reaction until it is complete, and it will not stop until the quicklime, sodium chloride and aluminum powder in it have completely reacted.
Therefore, Fang Hong has been cautiously adding water to it, so that he can keep it longer.
This water vapor is capable of producing a high temperature of 120 degrees in the box, which is enough to boil snow water.
However, the spilled water vapor quickly condensed into steam when it encountered cold air, but the temperature in the tent kept increasing.
The time Fang Hong chose to move forward is actually the time when the temperature in Antarctica is the highest, and the time to avoid rest is the time when the temperature drops.
When Fang Hong had a delicious meal, he used the residual heat to put away a bottle of boiling hot water, and then lay down and fell asleep.
This self-tropical heat made the temperature of the entire tent reach a maximum of 12 degrees, which is a terrifying number.
From minus 30 degrees to 12 degrees, a full 42 degrees Celsius warmed.
However, this is not a high-tech thing, after all, the heat required to turn nearly a liter of water into water vapor at 150 degrees can indeed heat up the room so much.
During this journey, Fang Hong turned on the live broadcaster at any time to prevent accidents.
After seven hours of deep sleep, a thin piece of ice fell off the fabric of the tent and smashed Fang Hong in the face.
Fang Hong is used to it.
In order to ensure the temperature, Fang Hong would not let the humid air escape after using the self-heating bag, so the water vapor would condense on the tent cloth, and eventually slowly cool down and turn into thin ice.
It's also a signal.
It shows that the temperature in the tent has reached more than minus ten degrees.
Fang Hong sat up, Fang Hong, who hadn't shaved for so many days, finally revealed his true face, from the sideburns in front of his ears to his cheeks, and the beard on his chin was completely exposed.
It's not that he doesn't have a beard during the day, but the dry air of Antarctica doesn't freeze, but at this moment, Fang Hong's face is full of ice ballast, which makes the beard very obvious.
Fang Hong looked at the time, thinking about whether to have another self-heating bag.
Opening the thermos cup, Fang Hong took a look, immediately twisted the thermos cup, and it began to freeze again!
It seems that after this journey, a thermos cup prepared by oneself and a thermos cup brought down from the car have lost the ability to maintain a temperature of 80 degrees for 24 hours.
Seven hours, boiling water until it freezes, which basically means that the thermos cup is scrapped.
"Brother Gun, what's wrong?" Even at night, there are some people watching the live broadcast, but the number is only a few thousand.
Fang Hong took out a self-heating bag: "The thermos cup is broken, I don't want to cover the ice box again." ”
Fang Hong opened the zipper, lifted a few layers of clothes and looked down, the position of the hot box yesterday, the whole was dark purple, basically frostbite, two more times, it will be wasted.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I see it, I feel itchy and want to scratch: "Frostbite is too difficult to treat, and the body will recover naturally, but this process is extremely itchy." ”
After getting the hot water, Fang Hong lay down to sleep again.
How can you have the physical strength to continue the journey without sleeping at night?
In the early morning, it is not greeted by the first rays of sunshine, but by the howling south wind.
Since the temperature is lower at night, but the air pressure in the untouchable places is lower, the wind direction is towards Fang Hong.
After drinking hot water and eating breakfast, Fang Hong began to move forward.
After putting everything away, Fang Hong's expression was very unsightly.
For a full hour, only two kilometers were walked.
Every step is strenuous and getting more and more strenuous.
"Ninety-seven kilometers, come on, Brother Gun, this speed is not good."
Fang Hong also knew that this speed would not work, if he continued like this, it would take four or five days to arrive, and the food and self-heating packs would not be able to support it for four or five days.
However, with the encouragement of the sailors, Fang Hong knelt heavily in the snow alone.
"What's going on, in the past, it was so difficult to get to the end every day, why did you start walking like this today?"
"Is it because of the snow?"
Fang Hong endured the pain: "Stomach ulcer." ”
There are many causes of gastric ulcers.
Among them, the temperature is too low or the temperature changes back and forth may cause abnormal gastric juice secretion, resulting in gastric ulcers.
It hasn't happened for so many days, but now, it's finally going wrong.
The previous driving trip was very comfortable, but since he started walking, he was exhausted every day, which also caused a loss of appetite, and Fang Hong was basically forced to eat.
Originally, Fang Hong thought that it was just because of high-intensity exercise that caused this problem, and the result was a stomach ulcer.
I ate too much this morning, and now it hurts, it hurts very much, and Fang Hong, who is in pain, starts to sweat.
"Stomach ulcers? Brother Gun, do you need rescue? ”
"Paralyzing a stomach ulcer to rescue? When explorers in the past came to this position, they basically had organ failure, and stomach ulcers were a problem. ”
"We are afraid that if you go any further, your internal organs will fail."
Against the wind, the snow was like silt, the stomach hurt, and three bad things came at the same time.
Fang Hong finally felt why so many adventurers would die on this road.
It's not a wolf that suddenly rushes out, nor a great white shark with a bloody mouth open, but the torture brought by the real physiological limit.
Fang Hong also has self-heating bags, which have modern high-tech sleeping bags.
The first people to head for the South Pole carried elk skin sleeping bags, kerosene, and alcohol as fuel.
Although Fang Hong was a solo adventure, and he also brought pots, iron boxes and other things, but the weight would not be more than that of his predecessors.
For the first time, Fang Hong pulled out his crutch for the first time: "I thought I would never need this thing." ”
In fact, people will always encounter situations where they have to use something that they thought they would never use.
Fortunately, I brought it, if I didn't bring it, in the vast Antarctic, where can I find materials to make crutches?
I didn't rest, I kept walking, and after another half an hour, I walked out for a kilometer, and finally it didn't hurt.
The wind is also decreasing.
It seemed that God had returned to Fang Hong's side.
Just half an hour ago, every time Fang Hong raised his leg, he had a feeling that he was out of his body and that he was going to die.
Unloading the inexplicable pain, Fang Hong's steps were lighter.
When it was time for lunch, Fang Hong had already walked eleven kilometers, which could be regarded as a surge in speed.
Looking at the only six self-heating bags left, Fang Hong was very entangled, whether to use one or not.
In the end, Fang Hong decided to use it, it was because of irregular diet and forced overeating in the morning and evening that the stomach ulcer was caused, and if he still did that, it would definitely be more serious.
Lunch is a must.
Continue on the journey, however, after lunch, the stomach pain came again.
It's already painful to pay attention to these things, and it's not that useful.
Fang Hong walked on the road with difficulty, at four o'clock in the afternoon California time, Fang Hong only walked six kilometers in four hours in the afternoon.
"Seventy-nine kilometers to go! Come on! ”
Seventy-nine kilometers, give Fang Hong a bicycle, on the land of the motherland, if it is downhill, it can be solved in an hour and a half. Even if it's walking, it only takes a day.
But today, Fang Hong has only walked less than nineteen kilometers.
Fang Hong gritted his teeth: "I'm walking a little, it's getting warmer and warmer, taking advantage of the light wind, I'm walking for a while." ”
The atmosphere was so solemn, Fang Hong also made a joke to liven up the atmosphere: "You said, what gift should I give to my uncle and aunt when I go to my girlfriend's house for the first time?" ”
It's a joke, but it's exactly what you might do in a few days.
Tang Yixin: "It's good to send money." "It's a joke, of course.
Lu Meow: "It's best to send grandchildren and granddaughters." ”
The live broadcast room was jubilant.
Fang Hong also smiled, the water friend was really witty enough.
Night, at this rate, if it stops, it will be another four days.
This is impossible, the old American plane will fly away on the 30th of their time, that is, on the 31st of Chinese time.
Fang Hong had to continue on his way.
I completed 150 kilometers in the first two days, and it makes no sense to rest after walking less than 20 kilometers on the third day.
