179: Everest Base Camp for Wilderness Survival

In the blink of an eye, it was another Saturday, and the third episode of "Survival in the Wilderness", climbing Mount Everest, caused a huge sensation on the Internet.

In the past, there were many people who climbed Mount Everest, but very few were able to leave precious videos.

The conditions there are extremely harsh, and it is difficult to go up with just people, let alone equipment.

And there, too, are the natural enemies of humans and instruments. Chilly.

In temperatures of minus 50 or 60 degrees, human fingers will freeze, and even wearing thick gloves will not be able to provide enough warmth.

Not to mention the arduous work of taking off gloves and turning on the device.

The same is true for cameras, when it exceeds minus 20 degrees, there will be problems such as difficult operation and rapid power consumption.

When I was in Daxinganling before, the equipment also had this situation.

It was a malfunctioning heating device that caused a camera to not turn on properly for recording.

In the past week, not only ordinary people in China, but also some international mountaineering enthusiasts have noticed the program "Survival in the Wilderness".

And those mountaineering enthusiasts who are abroad can only try to open the website of Roselle Video, hoping for a miracle.

Because in foreign countries, in most cases, it is impossible to open those big websites in China.

However, at the beginning of the construction of the Roselle video website, there was no consideration of blocking foreign IP, first, joining the corresponding program will lead to excessive load on the website.

In one case, it will increase the cost, and it can still save money for the website at that time.

After a week of continuous advertising bombardment, at around 8:50, the ratings of the science and education channel broke through a new high and reached a high of 4.5.

Huhai Satellite TV, on the other hand, is only 3.01, and this number is still decreasing, and the current 3.01 fell from 3.56 ten minutes ago.

There is no doubt that in the third episode of the program, Wang Luo's "Survival in the Wilderness" has shown a victorious attitude.

Lao Yang was sitting alone in the living room, an advertisement was playing on the TV, and the next thing to be played was "Survival in the Wilderness".

He's not an adventure enthusiast, but he loves the show.

Xiao Yang has been away from home for nearly half a month, and the phone can't get through, so there has been no news.

The friends who asked him were all temporarily out of touch, and their families were equally worried.

Three days ago, one of the family members received a message from them that they were going to enter a no-man's land where there would be no cell phone signal, so they would be in a state of disconnection, so the family would not have to worry.

But in the dark, Lao Yang always felt that something was wrong.

But when he is old, it is impossible to follow Xiao Yang to go on any adventures outside, so he can only pray silently in his heart, hoping that he can return safely.

It's just that what Lao Yang didn't know was that Xiao Yang and several of his companions went to Mount Everest this time.

After a commercial, Lu Ming soon appeared on TV.

Lao Yang silently lit a cigarette and watched the TV quietly, in a daze.

In the picture, Lu Ming is riding in a car, and the cameraman cleverly records Lu Ming and the panoramic view of Mount Everest outside the window.

At the top of the mountain, there is a white expanse everywhere, and it is shocking to watch just on TV.

Soon, the car stops, and Lu Ming gets out of it, and his first stop is not as deserted as the first two episodes.

"Compared with the previous two issues, to be honest, I really don't get used to these."

"Look, there are signs of human civilization everywhere."

"You see, public toilets and tents. And the most uncomfortable thing for me is that there are chefs here. ”

The camera spun around and recorded the effects of the entire base camp.

"I'm not used to it, but if I want to conquer her, I'll have to stay here for at least a week. Okay, now I'm a bit of altitude sickness and I need to take a break. ”

Immediately afterward, the scene cuts to darkness inside a tent. Lu Ming turned on the camera sleepily, and the cold wind outside kept knocking on the tent, as if it might blow it away at any time.

"It's two o'clock in the morning, I'm woken up by the cold wind outside, although the tent can ensure that my heat won't dissipate so quickly, but you see, the wind outside is about 20 to 30 meters per hour, and I'm a little worried about whether the wind will increase suddenly."

When the camera switched again, the sky was already bright, everything seemed so calm, and the sun was slowly rising, shining on the body, without the slightest temperature.

"Actually, I didn't sleep well last night. At about three o'clock, the wind stopped, but I kept worrying if it would come back? ”

"Look, empty camp, it's a sign that we're not here at the right time."

"The best time of the year to summit Mount Everest is from late April to early June, and from mid-September to early October."

"It's the end of March, less than April, so this time is definitely not suitable for climbing Mount Everest, because if you're not careful, you may never get down."

"I'm an adventurous person, but definitely not adventurous. So, I'm going to get used to the environment at the base camp, and if it goes well, it's going to take a week, no more than two weeks at most, and that's almost the time to climb Mount Everest. ”

A week after arriving at the base camp, the film crew finally started filming again.

After a week of adaptation, everyone has basically adapted to the environment here, and only the director is still a little tired.

The film crew filmed the area and process of Lu Ming's warm-up, and then stored it underneath.

And because of the particularity of this mission, it is also determined that not all members of the film crew can follow.

And the first to be chosen to stay was the director.

In addition to Lu Ming and the camera, the remaining three crew members became temporary coolies, and they were mainly responsible for carrying the equipment to reduce the burden on Lu Ming and the camera.

When they arrive at the forward camp, if they don't have enough supplies, they need to decide on a case-by-case basis to have a few film crew members return to the base camp.

"It's almost mid-April, and the weather here is noticeably better, but it's a little frustrating at times."

"I've been here for ten days now and I've adapted to the environment. So, I'm going to go, to conquer there. After speaking to the camera, Lu Ming turned around and left, carrying a heavy hiking backpack full of food and oxygen cylinders behind him.

Crampons and an icebreaker axe were attached to the backpack by Lu Ming to increase the space inside the backpack.
