Chapter 276: The Gate of the Snow Mountain
Climbing an 8,000-metre-high peak is obviously not an easy task for those who have never been involved in mountaineering.
Unfortunately, none of us who decided to go to the summit of Lhotse had ever had experience in mountain climbing.
Everything must start from the most basic mountaineering training, from the basic mountaineering training, until the most difficult to really engage in the sports of climbing the snow mountain.
This process requires at least one year of professional training.
However. Obviously, what we lack most now is time, and we can only achieve the physical standards of highland mountaineering as much as possible through a month of physical training.
Of course, if you want to engage in mountaineering, the most basic point is not to have heart, blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Fortunately, after a thorough examination, all those who are about to go on the expedition meet this basic requirement in terms of their physical condition.
For a whole month, we were doing physical training in that training ground.
Eating, drinking, and sleeping are all settled here.
Every day of high-intensity endurance training, hypoxia training, and muscle training, almost all of them are about to torture people crazy.
These trainings are extremely boring, and at the beginning, I could still talk and laugh with the fat head Chen Hudan, fart and chat, and step on each other.
Gradually, the number of times we talked to each other every day became less and less.
At the end of the day, the three of them were almost speechless every day.
As the amount of training increased day by day, Qu Fattou and I made the grind the same as Chen Hudan, like a strong man caught from the Congo in Africa.
After a day of training, several people were as tired as dead pigs, and they were still in the mood to chat and fart.
Every day, the only sound I can hear from Qu Fattou's mouth is the dull snoring sound he makes when he lies in bed and falls asleep at night.
After more than 30 days of boring training, it was finally over.
One night, when Qu Fattou and Chen Hudan and I were lying on the bed rubbing our sore legs and stomachs like dead pigs, Bai Yi came over.
"Pack your things and come with me." Bai Yi didn't have any other nonsense, and gave us an order directly.
Hearing Bai Yi say this, I knew that our official action was about to begin.
Bai Yi took us back to Professor Chen's research institute.
After entering a large conference room, I saw Professor Chen greet me with a smile, and he patted me on the shoulder and said.
"Ha Luha, Brother Wang, you are in good spirits, and you look a lot stronger."
"Yes, a few of our brothers are like letting a strong man pull a strong man, playing with his life every day, can such a training method have no effect."
I replied to Professor Chen with the same smile.
"It's also to complete the mission." Professor Chen smiled wryly as he listened.
"Don't talk about you, look at my old bones, is it not the same as being fucked and grinded enough?"
Professor Chen's words are true, as soon as I met him, I saw that he had lost a lot of weight, and it seemed that he had gone through a lot of hard training.
It's just that, according to Professor Chen's identity, he definitely can't go to the training ground in the wilderness to be tortured like us.
"Why are you so old?" I laughed.
"It's just a trip to that place with a few of our brothers, why do you have to suffer foreign crimes."
Taking advantage of this, I persuaded Professor Chen again, hoping that he would dispel the idea of going with us to look for people on Na Lhotse Peak.
"Don't talk about that." Professor Chen waved his hand.
"I've made up my mind, and it's useless to talk about it. Come and see this. ”
As he spoke, Professor Chen turned around and took a folder from the female assistant who was following him, took out a few photos from it, and spread them out on the table.
Professor Chen is also a stubborn donkey, and he has a very strong temper, so I didn't bother to continue to persuade him, so I waved Qu Fattou and Chen Hudan to step forward together to see what new things Professor Chen had brought to everyone.
"After knowing that our goal was Lhotse Peak, we sent several groups of planes around Lhotse Peak every day to observe. These photos are aerial photographs of Lhotse Peak. ”
Professor Chen pointed to the photos on the table and said.
As he spoke, Professor Chen pulled out the closest and clearest photo among the photos on the table, and continued.
"This is Lhotse Peak, the cyan and beautiful fairy"
The photo Professor Chan pulled out showed two peaks, and the distance between the two peaks was very close.
The taller mountain in the photo is the famous Mount Everest, and the slightly shorter one is the Lhotse we targeted.
Lhotse Feng is called "Ding Jie Xie Sangma" in Tibetan, which means "blue and beautiful fairy".
"In the past month, we have made hundreds of flights around Lhotse and taken countless photos, and we have not found anything until three days ago."
Professor Chen paused as he spoke, looked up at the few people around him, and continued.
"Our pilot took this picture." As he spoke, Professor Chen reached out and clicked on the photo he had just pulled out on the table.
"Can you see anything special in the photo?"
Although this photo is the closest and clearest, it is only relative.
In fact, you can't expect a high level of clarity from aerial photos.
"What can you see from this? Old man, you should tell the big guys in a hurry, so as not to worry about it one by one. ”
After looking at it a few times, Qu Fattou said to Professor Chen.
For such a long time, Qu Fattou's address to Professor Chen has always been that of an old man, and after I said a few times to use honorific titles, it didn't work at all, and I don't know if Lu Dao was intentional or I couldn't remember, anyway, Qu Fattou's title to Professor Chen has never changed.
Professor Chen didn't mind, and after listening to what Qu Fattou said, Professor Chen smiled and pointed to the photo and said.
"Look here." The place where Professor Chan pointed was a snow-covered area in the middle of Lhotse Peak.
It does seem to be a little different from the rest of the mountain.
"There's an avalanche here."
Pointing to the photo, Professor Chen continued.
"Our people filmed the moment the avalanche happened."
An avalanche is something that can only be deeply felt when you encounter it when you are climbing a peak, according to those who have experienced it.
That kind of spectacular, breathtaking scene can really destroy a person's willpower from the bottom of the heart.
However, judging from the photos alone, the avalanche scene is completely invisible, and it looks as if nothing happened.
I don't know why Professor Chen asked us to see the avalanche scene in the photo.
"At the same time as the avalanche, the communication equipment on our plane was suddenly disturbed by a strong signal, and all kinds of equipment on the plane were temporarily out of order, if it were not for the pilot's excellent skills, it almost caused the plane to be destroyed and killed. However, "
Professor Chen pulled out another photo from the photo and continued.
"As the plane left there, our videographer captured something after the avalanche."
As Professor Chen spoke, his fingers never took off the newly turned out photograph.
I looked intently, and my eyes widened.
In that photo, a rectangular thing appeared on the snow-capped mountain.
After careful discernment, I recognized that it was a door
