By 8 p.m., that is, if all goes well, it would be less than five hours before the expected sprint to the summit, but the weather showed no signs of improving.

The commander-in-chief of the mountaineering operation, who stayed at the Everest base camp with Wang Yinan to command, decided to abandon the summit and retreated the next day after the weather improved slightly during the day.

His decision was opposed by the six members of the team who were ready to climb the summit at the No. 3 camp at an altitude of 8,300 meters above sea level, and relied on the Xianglong drone hovering at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters.

"I don't agree to continue to climb to the top", the commander-in-chief first made his position clear,

"From past experience, once the weather gets bad, it's rarely possible to get better within 24 hours, so there is a high probability that bad weather will be encountered during the summit today, and the risk is too great."

But the team members in the 8300-meter camp don't think so, you know, the summit is in front of you but can't climb, what a torture this is, and once you retreat, and wait for a new climbing window, it will be no score, a week or two is less, and even this year there is no chance to reach the top.

"From where we are, the weather is not too bad", said Rojung Dawa, as a representative of the mountaineering team.

"And we can occasionally see stars in the sky, which means that the weather has started to improve",

"This brief lull doesn't say anything," the commander-in-chief insisted on.

"So far, the maximum wind speed we have encountered is only 10 meters per second, which is relatively good weather in the past summit process", Luo Rong Dawa threw his killer weapon,

"We are not an amateur team, and the mountaineering team of our school has successfully reached the summit in even worse weather conditions than this."

As the sponsor of the action and the biggest beneficiary of the summit, you must know that the effect of live broadcast on the summit of Mount Everest must be a breaking point. Wang Yinan resisted the urge to express his opinions, of course he hoped that the team could reach the top, but at this time, only professionals could express their opinions, so don't let commercial interests interfere with their decisions.

After a long debate, the two sides reached a compromise and by 1 a.m., if the weather conditions improved, they would continue to the summit, otherwise they would retreat at dawn.

In the base camp of Mount Everest, in the 8300-meter camp, in the headquarters building of Dream Technology, people are waiting with bated breath for nature's decision, and hundreds of thousands of users do not know the story behind this, according to the live broadcast arrangement, the next day will start the live broadcast at five o'clock in the morning to climb to the top of the sprint, and at this time, in fact, the mountaineers have crossed the most difficult second step of Mount Everest.

This feeling of powerlessness is really bad, Wang Yinan prayed to God to give him face in the base camp, and secretly swore that he would find a way not to face this embarrassment in the future, human beings can even climb the moon, how can they take a bad weather.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a miracle happened, you can see it in the base camp of Mount Everest, the gloomy clouds are gone, the stars in the sky suddenly appeared, and at the altitude of 8300 meters in the No. 3 camp, the change in weather is even more obvious, the wind is gone all of a sudden, the team members let out a burst of cheers, and began to prepare for the nine-hour summit sprint in high spirits.

At this time, the mountaineering commander has nothing to say, although there is some faint uneasiness in his heart, this good weather is too magical, but at this time he can't continue to give the order to retreat, don't say that Wang Yinan doesn't agree, the team members of the camp at an altitude of 8300 meters are estimated to be able to eat him.

At 1:30 a.m., the summit officially began, and from the 8,300-meter-high North Col Camp No. 3, it was necessary to go through three steps to reach the summit of 8,848 meters, the most difficult of which was the second step, which was an almost bare stone wall, which was once considered an insurmountable obstacle by the earliest North Slope climbers.

The genius British mountaineer, Mallory and his companion Owen, left the last image of climbing this bare rock wall, and then the two disappeared, and to this day, there is still a mystery about whether they became the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest before they were killed.

In the process of reaching the summit in 1975, the Huaguo mountaineering team erected a six-meter-long metal ladder on the stone wall of the second step, which greatly reduced the difficulty of climbing the second step, and replaced it with a lighter and stronger metal ladder in 2013.

At about four o'clock in the morning, most of the members of the mountaineering team crossed the metal ladder named "Huaguo Ladder", that is, successfully crossed the second step and launched an attack on the third step.

Since the installation of this new "Huaguo Ladder", the difficulty of climbing from the north slope has been reduced a lot, you know, this bare stone wall, I don't know how many talented mountaineers' dreams have been buried.

The time to book the start of the live broadcast is approaching, but at this time, it seems that the good luck of the whole mountaineering operation has been exhausted, and the bad luck is coming one after another.

First of all, the weather, the nature that was still windy and sunny just now, suddenly revealed its hideous true face, and when the leader Luo Rong Dawa was attacking the third step, the wind rose.

Although the wind was not too strong, but at an altitude of 8,600 meters, the wind was a fatal thing, Luo Rong Dawa tried his best to lower his height, smashed the crampons into the ice, carefully fixed himself, he shook the safety rope, and sent a signal of safety and inquiry to the team members behind.

Relying on the Xianglong drone provided by Wang Yinan, all team members can maintain one-way contact with the base camp through head-mounted live broadcast equipment, and of course, they can also receive voice commands.

Considering that it is likely to be a local short-term weather phenomenon, the base camp decided to wait in place for about fifteen minutes, and the start of the live broadcast was also postponed for fifteen minutes.

Hundreds of thousands of Laihi users, in order not to miss every minute of the details of the summit of Mount Everest, set an alarm clock the night before, and got up on time at this time, or just lay in the quilt and opened the Laihi App, ready to watch the live broadcast of the summit.

But the estimated live broadcast time has arrived, there is still no live picture in the live broadcast room, the two guests are yawning and there are still a few mountains in the world that have not been conquered, such as Meili Snow Mountain in Huaguo, etc., and then the host told everyone that due to technical problems, the live broadcast will be postponed for at least fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, fortunately, the wind began to slowly lighten, but judging by the final result, this was also the beginning of misfortune.

"Everyone is ready, the live broadcast will start in two minutes", the on-site commander reminded everyone, and Wang Yinan added on the side,

"Everything you see and experience next, hundreds of thousands of people will feel the same way, thank you for your efforts."

Luo Rong Dawa, who was at the front, applied to change to the end of the team, he said, "Commander-in-chief, I had the most live broadcast shots a few days ago",

"When I reached the top, I was in a better position at the back, which can fully reflect the experience of the whole team at the top."

After discussing with Wang Yinan, the commander-in-chief agreed to his request, so Luo Rong Dawa waited in the resting position, and the other team members began to pass him and continue to climb upward.

However, the accident happened at this time, this part of the journey was from the second step to the third step, which was not very difficult, but then suddenly there was a strong crosswind, and the wind blew up some snow on the stone wall, like a temporary snowfall.

The leader of this mountaineering team was not Luo Rong Dawa, but a relatively inexperienced team member, when the snowflakes flew towards him, he panicked, instinctively reached out to protect his eyes, but forgot that he was relying on crampons to fix himself on the snow-capped mountain at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters.

He took out an ice catch, but unfortunately the other crampons were not securely secured and immediately loosened, and after the strong wind blew, he fell to the ground and swirled downward.

"Be careful!" "No", "Catch him", a few panicked shouts came from inside the communication equipment.

The last of the team, Luo Rong Dawa, was the first to react, he heard a shout from the earphones, he knew that an accident had happened, Luo Rong Dawa instinctively lay on the ground, trying his best to stretch himself, when the teammate who slipped slipped past him, Luo Rong Dawa's outstretched leg successfully stopped him, his rotating body immediately stopped, and the mountaineering pickaxe crossed Luo Rong Dawa's legs, and quickly slipped down the mountain.

"Catch me", Rorong Dawa was sweating all over his face, his ice axe digging deep into the ice, holding himself in place, and reaching out to grab his teammate as he crossed him.

The atmosphere in the Everest base camp was like suffocating, a large screen was playing the pictures sent back by the team's head-mounted live broadcast equipment, when one of the pictures suddenly shook, and then suddenly turned into the sky, and quickly slid downward, everyone forgot to breathe, only the loudspeaker came from the public channel in the shouting, shouting.

"Caught him", "Luo Rong Dawa caught him", a voice of ecstasy suddenly came from the speaker, and the picture of the rapid slide also stabilized, slowly, everyone saw clearly Luo Rong Dawa lying on the ground, it was he who stopped the team member who slipped down.

In the Everest base camp, everyone spontaneously applauded this witty and brave young man.

Except for the dropped ice axe, it seems that there is not much loss from this accident, but the team member who had the accident is not suitable to continue to climb the summit in terms of equipment or psychology, but it doesn't matter, it is not too difficult to retreat alone from here.

Wang Yinan let out a long breath, one less person to reach the top will not have much impact on the effect of the whole show, he patted the commander-in-chief, "Is it time to start the live broadcast?" ”，

The commander-in-chief nodded, "If you don't have any doubts, we're ready to start the live broadcast."

After a while, when the commander-in-chief was about to approve the start of the live broadcast, a familiar voice came from the public channel,

"I am Rojung Dawa",

"I think I might not be able to make it to the top", 8)
