Although there are always some voices in mountaineering circles that "Everest is commercialized" and "Everest is not interesting".

But in fact, the fact that Mount Everest is the top of the world and the highest peak cannot be changed by those people no matter what.

At the same time, this roof of the world can easily kill those who seek to challenge the ability to conquer it.

And Xiao Ning's challenge to the summit in winter, in Zou Yitian's heart, has magnified the possibility of this death many times!

But just now.

He heard the words "oxygen-free" from Xiao Ning's mouth.

Although Zou Yitian has no experience in climbing Mount Everest, as the vice president of the Austrian Red Bull Dragon Region, he is in charge of extreme sports-related affairs, and he is very familiar with the big and small projects of Red Bull in mountaineering.

He doesn't have the experience of standing on the roof of the world, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the relevant information.

The vast majority of people who challenge Mount Everest often start using oxygen at an altitude of 7,000 meters or even lower, and some climbers may be forced to carry the lack of oxygen at an altitude of 7,000 meters, but when they reach an altitude of 8,000 meters, whether they are humans or ghosts, whether they are famous mountaineers or local Sherpas, almost all need oxygen to continue climbing.

Truly.

There are indeed some fierce people in the world who have climbed Mount Everest without oxygen, such as the world-famous top mountaineer, and the Sherpa guide of the strongest local mountaineer will be associated when mentioning Mount Everest......

So at what cost?

In fact, less than 3 percent of all recorded Everest ascent people reach the summit without oxygen.

And this less than three percent of the dream chasers have a mortality rate of more than 20 percent!

To date, more than 100 climbers who have attempted anaerobic ascent have stayed on Mount Everest forever.

And the vast majority of these people involved performed the feat of ascent without oxygen during the climbing season when the weather was good and the climate was suitable!

During the mountaineering season, the oxygen content of Mount Everest at an altitude of 8,800 meters is only 30% of that at sea level, and in winter, due to the different atmospheric pressure, the oxygen content caused by thin air will only be more exaggerated!

In this case, even aerobic climbing may not be able to climb to the top, and even successful climbing does not mean that you will be able to retreat.

And if you choose to climb to the top without oxygen in winter......

Zou Yitian was stunned and picked up the mobile phone that had just fallen on the ground from the ground, and his tone was full of doubts: "Xiao Ning." ”

"Do you know what you mean by that?"

"Winter summit, assuming success, then you will no longer feel the 8,848-meter Everest on the summit!"

"You're facing Mount Everest, which is more than 9,100 meters long!"

"Look at the historical data! Since 1953, only 0.2% of all successful summits have occurred in winter! And this number also includes those who successfully reached the summit but could not complete the retreat and stayed on Mount Everest forever! ”

"Climbing to the top in winter is enough to do!"

"You still say you're going to go to the top without oxygen?"

"It's not playing with life at all, it's simply giving up your life in vain!"

For anyone who knows about mountaineering, Xiao Ning's proposal to climb Mount Everest without oxygen in winter is a fatal death, and the more people who know about mountaineering, the more they will find this idea absurd and comical.

Even the person who said this idea was Xiao Ning, who had [Igniting the Autumn Underworld Mountain], [Flying over the Yellow River], [Leap of the Twin Towers], [Folding Mountain Longboard Rappelling], and [Plane Crossing the Mira Mountain Tunnel].

In the field of extreme sports, Xiao Ning's ability is beyond everyone's imagination, he has indeed completed those impossible in the eyes of people again and again, and even broke some world records in exaggerated ways again and again!

As for how top Xiao Ning's ability is, after experiencing so much, Zou Yitian has a complete idea in his heart.

Even if Xiao Ning hadn't done those free climbing challenges before, he didn't doubt the other party's ability in mountaineering.

In his eyes, Xiao Ning is a genius, all-rounder, and geek in extreme sports, and he is an existence that can leave his legend in this world.

So even if Xiao Ning said on the phone that he was going to skydive above the atmosphere, Zou Yitian didn't think it would be a completely impossible thing to do.

But climbing Mount Everest in winter is still too abstract.

It seems that the limits of human theory have been surpassed.

No matter how rebellious Xiao Ning is, it is impossible to complete this!

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ning remained silent, searching for something on his phone.

Zou Yitian thought that Xiao Ning was moved by what he said, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Listen to my Xiao Ning, this challenge can't be carried out, this is beyond the limit of manpower!" If! If you're planning to summit Mount Everest in the winter, I think we can talk about it, but if you add no oxygen, it's completely impossible, and no one in the world can do it. ”

At the same time as Zou Yitian finished saying this, Xiao Ning had already flipped out the information he wanted on his mobile phone.

"Mr. Zou."

"I know that the challenge of climbing Mount Everest without oxygen in winter is quite exaggerated."

"But you're actually wrong."

"There are indeed people in this world who have accomplished such a feat."

"It's the only case, but it's true that someone has done it before."

Xiao Ning read it while looking at the information displayed on the screen of his mobile phone.

"Ang Rita Sherpa is a Sherpa native and professional mountaineer, born in Nepal in 1948, and is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the first person in the world to successfully climb Mount Everest 10 times without oxygen, and the only person in the world to reach the summit of Mount Everest without using an oxygen cylinder in winter, a feat he accomplished in 1987......"

Zou Yitian originally thought that Xiao Ning's silence just now was moved by what he said, but only to find that people were not only not moved by him, but also began to provoke mistakes and omissions in his words.

This great mountaineer Zou Yitian naturally knows this.

Ang Rita Sherpa has accomplished a feat that the legendary mountaineer has accomplished, even though the great mountaineer died at a state funeral several years ago, and no one can match it decades later.

And the mountaineer's only record of climbing the summit without oxygen in winter, Zou Yitian also knows.

The reason why he didn't say this just now is because this extreme case has no reference value at all.

Shawning is indeed invincible, but this Sherpa mountaineer is already walking back and forth on the exaggerated snowy peaks in his twenties!

Zou Yitian opened his mouth, just as he was about to try to get Xiao Ning to give up this idea again.

Xiao Ning's voice on the other end of the phone rang again.

"Mr. Zou, in fact, it's not just oxygen-free climbing to the top in winter."

"I'm also going to go down the way when the summit is completed."

Zou Yitian asked puzzledly: "What is the way to use the ordinary way?" ”

"I'm going to jump right in."

Zou Yitian was stunned.

Jump???

Jump?

Before Zou Yitian could express his shock, Xiao Ning continued to speak.

"If I jumped directly from the summit, the rate of descent at this altitude was much higher than normal, and the terrain was already complicated, so I needed a special paraglider that could support this behavior."

I have seen those who died, I have seen those who did not die, and I have seen those who died.

But I really haven't seen anyone jumping down to the top of Mount Everest to play paragliding in the past!

Zou Yitian suddenly didn't know whether to admire Xiao Ning's courage or the other party's imagination.

Should......

You still have to admire Xiao Ning's imagination, right?

"Abstract! Truly abstract! The kind of abstraction that is so abstract that it has no edge! What was on his head? How can you even dare to think of such a thing? ”

Zou Yitian didn't know what to say anymore.

Xiao Ning on the other side of the phone continued to speak.

"Actually...... You don't have to have a special paraglider. ”

"If it's a wingsuit, the flexibility should be enough to ensure that I avoid obstacles at the initial altitude after the take-off, and then it would be more reasonable to open the parachute at a certain altitude."

"Actually, wingsuits are a better choice."

"Mr. Zou, what do you think?"

"Mr. Zou?"

"Hey, hey, hey?"

"Mr. Zou? Still listening? ”

Wingsuit ......

Flight?

Climb to the summit of Mount Everest without oxygen in winter, then take off from the top of Mount Everest to fly in a wingsuit, and finally paraglide to the ground?

In this series of operations, any single operation is enough to sensational the world's extreme sports circles!

But now Xiao Ning has combined all these things together.

Zou Yitian felt that his brain could no longer keep up with Xiao Ning's imagination.

He was eager to say something.

But what should I say?

Although each operation in this series of operations is so abstract and exaggerated, since Xiao Ning can put forward this, it already means that the other party has definitely thought about all this.

The single operation is exaggerated, and the combined series of operations is even more unbelievable, but Zou Yitian has to admit that it is......

The fluidity of this series of operations, or the integrity of this whole bold plan, is indeed very reasonable.

The premise is:

There really is a person who can combine these abstract things together!

Even if Zou Yitian has confidence in Xiao Ning's ability, the possibility of the other party completing all this is still slim in his eyes.

But from Xiao Ning's tone and attitude when he raised this, Zou Yitian could see that although the other party said lightly and casually, he definitely really wanted to challenge all this.

What is the meaning of extreme sports, what is the meaning of challenging the limit, and what is the meaning of doing these things, Zou Yitian doesn't want to think about it at this time.

Anything that makes sense is a hooligan.

Now the key is:

He had clearly heard that Xiao Ning really wanted to do this, and he really wanted to do all this and challenge all this!

Red Bull has always sought out those who would dare to risk their lives to do the most unlikely thing on the planet.

And now Xiao Ning, as a person sponsored by Red Bull, is now willing to gamble his life.

Can Red Bull be denied?

From the company's point of view, Zou Yitian absolutely could not refuse Xiao Ning's proposal.

Although there is little hope, Xiao Ning does have a chance to accomplish all this.

And once such a legendary challenge is successfully completed, then both Shawning and the entire Red Bull company will become famous all over the world.

Shawning accomplished what he wanted to accomplish and also gained the massive amount of traffic that came with it, and Red Bull will use this challenge to gather the world's attention again and make exaggerated profits.

And even in the worst-case scenario, the challenge fails, and even Xiao Ning dies.

Red Bull will also gain terrifying traffic exposure from the other direction.

Either way, Red Bull is all about blood.

But from a personal point of view, Zou Yitian really wanted to reject Xiao Ning.

After all, he didn't want to watch the other party take the risk of hanging up to carry out this unbelievable challenge.

However, the most critical thing at present, in Zou Yitian's opinion, is what Xiao Ning thinks.

Zou Yitian shook his head, looked at the third round of "The Masked God of Songs" that had begun to be played on the TV screen, and then said seriously: "Xiao Ning." ”

"Are you sure you want to do all this? I mean, you should know what you mean by that, right? ”

"If you challenge, as you said, the mortality rate will be unprecedentedly high, and even if we are well prepared, you are still at risk of failure."

"And the consequences of failure ......"

Xiao Ning's laughing voice sounded.

"Someone once asked a mountaineer why he wanted to climb a mountain, even to risk his life just to get to the top, and that it didn't change anything, and it wasn't a conquest of nature, but it was worth it just to go up and see it, at the cost of ending his life at any moment?"

"And then the mountaineer said."

"Because the mountains are there."

Frankly.

This paragraph of Xiao Ning's dictation is not the first time Zou Yitian has heard it, to be honest, this paragraph is quite famous, and it is actually an old-fashioned thing.

However, after the other party mentioned this at this time, Zou Yitian had indeed felt Xiao Ning's determination.

Since this is what Xiao Ning wants, then he has no reason to refuse, persuade anymore, if it is just for his own good feel so that he can make decisions about other people's decisions on his own, this seems to be a kind of selfishness to a certain extent.

He gritted his teeth, and was about to promise Xiao Ning when Xiao Ning spoke again.

"But his reason is really a bit vulgar, it sounds really unclear, it actually feels like talking nonsense, cough cough, I don't want to climb the mountain just because the mountain is there, although this idea is romantic, but in the eyes of normal people, it is indeed somewhat problematic."

"I wanted to do all this for three reasons."

"First, I'm curious about where my limits are."

"Second, I hope that after completing some of the most awesome challenges in the eyes of the world, I can still have the enthusiasm to meet the wider world."

"You know a lot of people who gradually lose the creativity that made them famous after they became famous, and I don't want that, so I need to keep looking for breakthroughs."

"As for the third point, I can't tell you about it."

The third point that cannot be said.

Naturally, it's because it's a task issued by the system.

Xiao Ning smiled lightly, and then said:

"Mr. Zou, you have been talking to me for a long time, just to persuade me, but let me tell you, don't persuade me about this, it is very important to me."

"So now, can Red Bull fully cooperate with me in this matter?"

After a few seconds of silence, the sound of Zou Yitian's deep breathing sounded on the other end of the phone.

"No problem, I'll keep an eye on this myself tomorrow during the day."

"I will prepare everything for you in the shortest possible time, including the most professional technical team and corresponding equipment on the planet!"

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone.

In the "Masked God of Songs" program being broadcast on TV, the guests wearing rat-headed duck costumes are stirring up the emotions of all the audience.

Tonight, the mysterious guest, who has gone from lyrical-pop singing to new-style folk songs, jumped to the track again.

In the third round of the show, he presented a song with a distinctly rock and roll style.

For this kind of lyrical to folk, folk to rock and roll changes, all the viewers who watch the show are completely blinded in their brains.

It's not uncommon to see people in the music industry who have a few styles of original musicians who are pretty good.

But it's almost impossible to meet someone who is good at a few styles and takes a few musical styles to the extreme.

But rat-headed ducks seem to do just that.

When everyone's various shocks and shocks filled their chests, they gradually integrated into the song as soon as the song sounded.

The rat-headed duck, whose identity was still not guessed, sang the chorus with a microphone.

"I want a life that blooms

It's like flying in the open sky

It's like walking through the endless wilderness

Possess the strength to break free from everything......"

Zou Yitian, who was originally going to watch the program "The Masked God of Songs", was just about to call his subordinates and instructed the corresponding staff to make every effort to prepare for Xiao Ning's trip to Mount Everest.

When the phone was dialed out and waiting to be answered, he happened to hear the song.

In addition to being shocked that the rat-headed duck who sang "Ordinary Road" can still play rock style.

Zou Yitian had an illusion in a trance.

He felt that this rat-headed duck's song was as if he was writing Xiao Ning.
