Chapter 279: Going Abroad
"Professor Chen, I can't wait any longer, I have to hurry up and get there."
Thinking that Xi Jing might be in inexplicable danger now, I inevitably lost control of my emotions and shouted to Professor Chen.
"Don't worry." Professor Chen patted me on the shoulder, nodded at me, and spoke.
"I called everyone over, just to prepare to leave for Lhotse Peak immediately, but before that, there are still some situations to explain to you."
As he spoke, Professor Chen picked up the photo on the table again and continued.
"This should be our main goal now." Professor Chen pointed to the huge door that appeared after the avalanche above the photo.
"The good news is that the location where this door appears is more than 6,000 meters above sea level on Lhotse Peak, and we were preparing to climb to the top before, but now it seems that it is not necessary, but"
Professor Chen paused and continued.
"The mountain on this Lhotse is majestic and steep, huge active glaciers, ice avalanches, avalanches are frequent, especially the location we want to reach, here are covered by thousands of years of moraines and huge glaciers, the terrain here is quite intricate, and its route is long, not only the slope of this section of the ice slope is large, but also countless huge ice cracks, this distance is the most difficult section of the process of climbing Lhotse Peak."
Professor Chen told us with a solemn expression, just listening to his description, it must have been quite difficult for Lu Dao to reach the location of the huge door buried by the avalanche snow.
"Everybody saw it."
Professor Chen pointed to the photo and said.
"Avalanches are quite frequent on this section, and there are often large high-altitude winds on it, the average snow depth here is at least 50 or 60 centimeters, and the ice slopes are extremely steep, all around 75 degrees, and even more than 80 degrees in some places."
"Okay old man, you're bluffing." Before Professor Chen finished speaking, he heard Qu Fattou speak on the side.
"After talking for a long time, I said something dejected, anyway, no matter what, this business Lao Tzu will definitely go with Da Baihuo, you don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare carriage and horse equipment for the brothers, the most important thing is to bring enough dry food, don't be vague about roast chicken, roast duck, smoked pork knuckle or something, but put it in that bag!"
Qu Fattou's words, I was quite moved when I first listened to it, and the more I listened to it, the more damn it was not taste.
Good guy, this is roast chicken and pork knuckle, and you are going on an outing with Lao Tzu with your dog?
"Okay!"
After listening to what Qu Fattou said, Professor Chen said to him with an approving face.
"The little brother is full of energy, we just need this kind of fearless spirit"
As he spoke, Professor Chen's face showed embarrassment again.
"It's just this roast chicken and roast duck or something"
"Professor Chen, don't you listen to his nonsense." Before Professor Chen could finish speaking, I interrupted him.
While talking, I also glanced at Qu Fat, and pulled him aside to follow Chen Hudan as a companion.
"He's just a bucket of rice, and he's thinking about feeding himself the pig's head all day long, I don't know the importance of what you said, don't pay attention to him, and continue to introduce the situation to us."
"The people take food as the sky, and only when they are full can they be motivated, and this little brother is not wrong to think about it."
As soon as Professor Chen finished speaking, he saw that Qu Fattou was still about to answer the conversation, and Professor Chen was busy changing the conversation.
"Well, I'll continue to introduce the situation below, the location of the door that appears in the photo is on the west side of Lhotse, if we want to get here, we can only climb up from the west wall of Lhotse, then we need to go abroad."
"Oops!"
As soon as Professor Chen's words fell, Qu Fattou slapped his thigh and howled.
"I didn't expect that! Lao Tzu can still go abroad for a walk in this life! When the time comes, the two foreign girls will come back, then this trip can be regarded as a real value! ”
Qu Fattou howled excitedly, and shook my head even more than when I heard it, the dog's is a thing without a city, and I don't know what to be excited about.
Professor Chen's statement that going abroad is nothing more than a trip to Nepal.
This Lhotse is located at the junction of China and Nepal, its east side is in the territory of China's Tibet Autonomous Region, and its west side belongs to the Kingdom of Nepal.
However, until now, the only way to climb Lhotse has been to start in Nepal.
This is because no one has ever climbed Lhotse from the eastern slope of our country.
There has only been one successful climb on the west side of Lhotse in Nepal.
This is the same route as the first human climb of Lhotse on May 18, 1956. It was discovered and used by a Swiss mountaineering team and is also known as the "Swiss Route".
In addition to this, there are two other routes that can be taken to climb Lhotse, but both are located on the south face of Lhotse.
It is relatively easy to climb Lhotse from the south, but it is a bit far from the specific location we are trying to reach.
Listening to what Professor Chen just said, the climbing route we are going to choose is the traditional "Swiss route" in the west.
What Professor Chen just said about going abroad is to go to Nepal, which belongs to the west side of Lhotse Peak.
Qu Fattou was quite excited to hear what Professor Chen said, if he knew that Nepal was the sixth in the ten poorest countries in the world, and the local women looked dark and thin, similar to African girls, I don't know if Qu Fattou was still interested in soaking Nepalese women
The next thing is to set a specific action plan.
This time we are going to climb more than 6,000 meters of Lhotse Peak, in which all kinds of mountaineering equipment are indispensable, for the use of these mountaineering equipment, we have been systematically trained these days, and there is no problem in using it.
Besides.
For we did not know much about the situation inside that great door, and judging by the mournful female ghost-like laughter, we must be in an unusual danger when we enter it.
Therefore, we are also indispensable for self-defense weapons.
During this time, we have also been systematically trained to use various weapons.
For us, there is no problem with the use of ordinary standard weapons.
I won't talk about Qu Fattou and I, now even Chen Hudan can disassemble an AK47 with his eyes closed and then assemble it completely.
Now we are not the rookies who threw grenades out of the gang without pulling the tab.
However, although Nepal is our country's little brother, after all, it is also a foreign country, and we must not allow ourselves to take weapons out of the country.
Therefore, before this, Professor Chen had already arranged for Sima to go to Nepal to prepare all kinds of mountaineering equipment and weapons for us.
Time was pressing, and on the evening of the day when the specific action plan was determined.
Qu Fattou, Chen Hudan, Bai Yi, and Professor Chen and I flew directly to Chengdu on a special plane for the army, and then flew from Chengdu to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, by civil aviation early the next morning.
