225, the top of Mount Everest! The sun is rising! Red flags flying! Long live the Motherland! (Ask for a commuter pass)
After crossing the ice wall of the North Col, we came to the second difficulty of the climb.
In the mouths of some extreme climbers, they will refer to this place as a "big wind outlet".
The reason for this is simple, it is because the wind is very strong on this stretch of road, and it is the same all year round.
Even during the window, the wind here will occasionally soar to level 12 or more, and if you add the frequent blizzards in the summer, then the wind will continue to increase, and even soar to level 15!
Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious on this part of the road, because there is no way to predict when a hurricane will suddenly arrive.
It is very likely that the last second it will be smooth and smooth, but the next second it will be swept away by a sudden wind.
And more importantly, the temperature on this section of the road will also usher in a sharp drop!
minus 10 degrees and 20 degrees is the norm, minus 30 and 40 often occur, and minus 50 is the real peak.
Hurricanes, hypothermia, frostbite... These three situations are the problems that all climbers have to face.
And more importantly, because the bottom of the snow layer is the North Col ice wall, there are often some ice caves and cracks.
So you have to be careful, careful, careful!
If you make a mistake, you will never recover!
As a former summit climber, Messner said, "It's a very lucky stretch. ”
"Yes." Wang Yongfeng nodded, his expression a little gloomy, "I led the team to try to board once in 01, and it was here that we lost 3 teammates in succession, and finally had to go back the same way. ”
If you disappear in such a place, you can't even see a corpse in death!
No one knows how deep the ice is underneath, and once a person disappears, it means that life has come to an end.
~
To everyone's surprise, although this section of the road was extremely dangerous, Chen Fei seemed to have divine help, and he crossed half of the journey very smoothly along the way.
"Hey? This luck? Are you kidding? The wind also didn't have it? Nor are there ice caves? ”
Wang Yongfeng was a little confused.
Seeing that Chen Fei had walked for more than an hour, but had not even encountered a single difficulty, a strong suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.
Obviously, it was the same route, why was it very difficult for them to come before, but Chen Fei was so easy?
He couldn't figure it out, and in the end it could only be attributed to Chen Fei's luck.
"There is another obstacle that he can't avoid."
The sudden sound made the faces of several people in the room change slightly.
Indeed, in the last 1/3 of the trail, there is a hurdle that all climbers need to face!
No matter how lucky you are, it's impossible to escape.
~
After another half an hour, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Fei suddenly stopped.
Following his line of sight, he could see that an ice crack about four or five meters wide appeared in front of him!
The sides of the rift stretched out into the darkness, with no end in sight, and the middle of it was even deeper, like a demon with its mouth open, waiting for its prey to jump in on its own!
At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly said loudly: "This is a naturally formed crack, which is estimated to be caused by the movement of the earth's crust, you can imagine it as a "Y" shape. ”
He had done his homework before he came, so he had a memory of the position.
"How is he going to get there?" Wang Yongfeng was a little incomprehensible.
Under normal circumstances, professional mountaineering teams will choose to use telescopic ladders to pass when faced with immediate difficulties.
But he obviously noticed that Chen Fei didn't seem to be carrying a simple telescopic ladder?
Flory added: "I had a ladder for him, but he didn't take it. ”
Everyone was puzzled, when they saw Chen Fei suddenly, he picked up his backpack from the snow and tied it tightly behind him.
Putting down a signal stick, he slowly retreated three or four meters.
"? He's going to jump over? ”
Wang Yongfeng was stunned.
Almost five meters wide? Do you still have at least 50 pounds of weight? Are you going to just jump over it? What international jokes?
However, just when everyone was in shock, Chen Fei had already begun to charge.
"Bang bang bang!"
With each step, the soles of your feet will fall heavily on the snow, making a muffled sound.
A charge of three or four meters arrived almost in the blink of an eye.
In front of the screen, a group of people widened their eyes and experienced a parabolic jump from a first-person perspective with shocked expressions.
"Bang!"
It wasn't until Chen Fei's feet hit the ground and there was a muffled sound that a group of people reacted in hindsight.
"Oh? Skipped? Just skipped it! ”
"Oh my god, this physical fitness is better than that of horse athletes, right?"
"I can be sure why Chen Fei repeatedly broke world records when he participated in the Triathlon World Championships, with this physical fitness, I'm afraid there are not many in the world, right?"
"Convinced! Really convinced! ”
"If I had this physical fitness, I could be in bed for two hours!"
“……”
In the midst of different opinions, Chen Fei has embarked on the road to continue to move forward.
The scene just now is a very exaggerated and shocking picture for many people, but for Chen Fei, there is nothing to mention at all.
It's easy, sprinkle water~
Perhaps because of the contempt, Everest was a little unhappy.
Without waiting for Chen Fei to take a few more steps, he suddenly realized that the temperature around him seemed to have begun to drop sharply!
Almost in the blink of an eye, a snowstorm roared in the distance, rushing towards his whole person "boom".
"it!"
Everyone in front of the screen only heard Chen Fei throw a dirty word, and then the camera began to shake wildly, and only a cloud of snow white was left in the picture.
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
The violent sound of the wind resounded, the picture shook very much, and some people even subconsciously took their eyes off the screen and waited for the crisis to end.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
However... The hurricane didn't seem to be extinguishing at all, and it was still blowing wildly, like an angry giant roaring!
"Made, it's not a problem to lie on your stomach like this, it seems that you have to go forward against the wind."
Chen Fei's voice talking to himself clearly came into everyone's ears.
Some viewers who chose to look away redirected their gaze to the screen, only to see that the screen was still shaking, but the screen was slowly moving.
Obviously, Chen Fei is not ready to admit defeat and is crawling forward against the wind!
If this is an ordinary person, it is definitely difficult to move an inch in the current situation, but for Chen Fei, this horse is a fart?
He can go slowly, but he can't throw in the towel!
~
Minutes and seconds passed.
Everyone's eyes kept moving with the shaking picture, their eyes gradually widened, and their hearts were full of admiration for Chen Fei!
Although his behavior is a bit "stubborn", I have to say that he is really handsome when he moves forward against the wind!
The wind lasted for 40 minutes, and Chen Fei walked against the wind for 40 minutes.
It wasn't until the blizzard receded that he straightened up, patted the snow on his body, and snorted coldly, "Fighting with the sky, it's endless fun!" ”
After a brief replenishment of energy, he inserted a signal rod in his hand, and he began to move on.
The road is quite long, and as time goes by, the early flat land gradually turns into a sloping slope.
This means that Chen Fei's direction is not wrong, he is indeed heading towards the peak, but at the same time, it also means that the altitude he is at is constantly rising.
The oxygen content in the air is getting thinner, but Chen Fei can withstand it for now.
When he can't bear it anymore, he can add a little physique, and he can be alive again!
The "system plus points" thing is much more effective than any stimulant, and doping is short-lived, but the effect after adding points will last.
~
As Chen Fei continues to move forward, the altitude is also constantly improving...
When the time came to 12 o'clock in the evening, Chen Fei suddenly jumped off his footsteps and slowly raised his head.
What catches your eye is a huge open space.
Before everyone could react, they heard his voice sound again, "This is 8,300 meters above sea level, and the position I am in now is Camp 3, also known as Assault Camp."
When I get here, it means I can make the final sprint to Everest! ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned!
Before he knew it, he was infinitely close to 8848.48!
So, is this challenge going to be successful?
There are many people in front of the screen with hope in their eyes, but they can't see it, Chen Fei's eyes are full of solemnity at this time!
Approaching Mount Everest means that the most dangerous zone is coming.
The altitude of 8,300 meters to 8,600 meters is only 300 meters, but it has to suffer the double test of hurricanes and abysses at the same time!
Walking here is like crossing a single-plank bridge with hurricane tests.
Once you fall, you can't get back!
"The challenge has just begun, and the real crisis has arrived."
Chen Fei muttered, sat down on the ground suddenly, and at the same time inserted a signal rod in his hand, he took out the tent and food from his bag.
"In order to cope with the next difficulties, I am going to sleep for half an hour first, and I will see you in half an hour."
After that, just like at noon, Chen Fei directly pillowed his head on the backpack and quickly fell asleep.
Even though there was a "whirring" cold wind blowing outside the tent, he still slept very soundly, and there was no sign of being disturbed by the external environment at all.
"Good guy, this guy is still asleep?"
"Nima, didn't you say that the challenge has just begun? Why did you sleep before you even left? ”
"Grandma's legs, slippery in the world!"
“…… That's a big heart! ”
"Director Chen is quite good at playing?"
Chen Fei fell asleep, but he and the others didn't dare to learn from him.
If you close your eyes and miss the final time to reach the top, won't you have to die of depression?
Half an hour passed in a flash, and as the alarm clock rang, in the attention of everyone, Chen Fei quickly opened his eyes and began to pack up his equipment.
At 12:40, he officially embarked on the "journey".
This section of the cross-cut zone is the most steep section of the entire Everest slope, because the slope is so large, so he can only move sideways, clinging to the rock wall.
Every step he took was very steady.
The reason is very simple, because there is an endless abyss under his feet, but if there are signs of slipping, it means that he is very likely to be swallowed by the abyss!
In addition to the complex terrain, the glacial winds unique to this section of the region are also very troublesome.
Due to the topography, it is like a natural valley outlet, and strong winds are blowing all the time.
From time to time, the ice cubes and pebbles that you bring up hit your face, and you can easily tear a rift!
It is also thanks to Chen Fei that he wore a mask before leaving, otherwise his handsome face is estimated to not be able to be saved.
"The glacial wind can reach an average speed of 10 meters per second, and the wind direction is just the opposite of the route to the summit, so you still have to go against the wind on this part of the road."
Messner was explaining to everyone, but he wasn't too worried.
With Chen Fei's previous state of moving forward against the hurricane, this road will not have much impact on him, and the only thing to pay attention to is that he must step on it steadily.
As he estimated, this journey did not bring much difficulty to Chen Fei.
He easily crossed the cross-section.
And when he passed through the tuyere, as Chen Fei raised his head, everyone in front of the screen saw the peak that was looming in the clouds.
At this moment, the eyes of the audience, who were still a little sleepy, widened instantly!
"It's Everest! Everest is coming! ”
Liu Yifei screamed wildly, unable to hide her excitement.
She's been following the broadcast since 5 a.m., and now, hope has finally arrived!
Liu Xiaoli was also a little excited, but she was older after all, so she didn't scream like her daughter, but just stared at the screen with a pair of excited eyes.
~
After taking a few steps forward, Chen Fei came to the ridge on the north wall of Mount Everest.
When he reached this position, it meant that he was only a few hundred meters away from the summit.
At the same time, the sight that had been covered suddenly became clear!
As far as the eye can see, the distant sky tilts into a dim sky light, falling on the snow, reflecting brilliant and colorful light waves.
The clouds that were originally covered overhead have been trampled under their feet at this time, and when you look into the distance, you can see dazzling thunder flashing in the clouds from time to time, which is very sci-fi.
Secretly agreeing with Roland Embridge, he took out the camera from his backpack and took many wonderful pictures around him.
After leaving another signal stick at the end, he began to climb in the direction of the peak!
It's already past one o'clock in the morning, and the position of Mount Everest is relatively high, and you may be able to see the morning sun rise earlier than inland.
Therefore, he had to speed up!
"Charge!"
A roar exploded in everyone's ears, instantly stirring everyone's heartstrings.
Under the attention of the first perspective, Chen Fei can be seen to charge along the ridgeline, allowing the first step to charge.
This is the fourth hurdle you will encounter when climbing Mount Everest!
"Death level three."
Once upon a time, I don't know how many people fell in front of this difficulty.
The first step is located at an altitude of about 8,650 meters above sea level and consists of several huge granite rocks that need to be climbed if you want to reach the top.
This is not difficult for Chen Fei, because its height is only a few meters.
In front of the screen, Messner's face was full of emotion, "I think that at the beginning, just a few pieces of granite on this first step stopped me for nearly two hours. ”
Sam Hardy was a little curious, "Why?" Doesn't that look high? ”
"It's not high, indeed." Messner shrugged his shoulders and added, "But you have to know that this is more than 8,600 meters away, and its oxygen content is almost none!"
Oxygen is called a chronic poison, but without it, we humans simply cannot survive.
If there is no oxygen, it means that there is no strength, so how can you complete rock climbing without physical strength? ”
These words directly made the few people around them gasp.
It's just that to everyone's surprise, when he arrived at the first step, Chen Fei didn't stop at all.
The ice manuscript was thrown out by him, and it was heavily chiseled into the gap in the granite.
Just like he had climbed the North Col ice wall before, he easily crossed the first step directly through the gap in the rock wall.
Everyone: "??? ”
"Why do you suddenly feel like you're walking on the ground?"
Wang Yongfeng was a little depressed, but he couldn't hide his envy.
He could see that this was the reason why Chen Fei's physique was very strong.
If all the members of his mountaineering team can have such a physique, then Everest... It should have become a national resource extraction site by now.
~
Stepping on the top of the first step, Chen Fei directly aimed at the second step.
The second step is between 8,670 and 8,700 meters above sea level, and this step is also the saddest part of the way to the top!
From below, the steps are very steep.
Compared to the first step, there are almost no support points available, and the entire rock face is in the shape of a slightly folded pattern.
There are no gaps, no obvious bumps, which means that ordinary people simply cannot climb.
What's more, in the middle of the staircase, there is also a smooth cliff that is almost vertical!
The height of eight meters was like an insurmountable mound, horizontally in front of Chen Fei and Dingfeng, preventing him from completing the leap!
The eyes of the viewers who were watching the broadcast in front of the screen widened.
So high?
So slippery?
How to climb?
At a glance, this stone wall is like an insurmountable dragon gate, and Chen Fei seems to have turned into a carp.
If you want to cross the dragon gate and turn into a real dragon, this is not something that can be done simply.
The audience felt that it was difficult, and Chen Fei, who was standing in front of the stone wall, had the most intuitive feeling, that kind of oppression that could not be climbed over and was prohibitive!
"Hoo ......"
The wind rose suddenly, and a new round of blizzards seemed to mock him for his indiscretion, and reached him again.
Suddenly, the camera began to shake, and Chen Fei followed closely and began to act.
I saw that he suddenly untied the backpack behind him, and then took out more than a dozen palm-length special steel nails from it, which was what he had prepared in advance for the difficulties in front of him.
There are many ways in which humans are superior to animals.
And the most important of these are "action" and "wisdom". ”
Since there is no road, why not carve out a path yourself?
The rock wall is indeed quite high, but so what? There is no limit to human wisdom!
~
Holding a steel nail in one hand and a tool hammer in the other, Chen Fei inserted a signal rod again and slowly approached the rock wall of the second step.
The frost-covered rock wall exudes a quaintness and desolation, and no one knows how it came to be here, or how many years it has existed.
And today, Chen Fei is ready to give it a different look.
Pick up the hammer, aim at the steel nails, and he slams down!
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the steel spikes easily shattered the ice and stuck into the inner rock wall.
After shaking it from side to side to make sure it was stable, Chen Fei climbed the rock wall without hesitation, and stepped on the protruding part of the steel nail with one foot.
Immediately after, he took out a steel nail from his pocket again, aimed it at the upper right position, and crouched down the hammer again.
"Bang!"
In this way, as one steel nail after another pierced deeply into the rock wall, Chen Fei also followed and climbed upward.
At the same time, after each steel nail is nailed, he uses the climbing rope to tie a dead knot on top.
By the time he had made it to the top, a whole row of steel nails had been successfully embedded in the rock wall, and a very strong nylon rope was tied to it.
Seeing this scene, Messner was stunned.
"He's anaerobic, isn't he? He's really anaerobic, isn't he? Why can he swing a hammer at an altitude of 8,600 meters above sea level, as if he were walking on the ground? ”
The foreign old man in his 60s was stunned at this time.
He really couldn't imagine how Chen Fei did it?
Even if an ordinary mountaineer carries an oxygen tank, he can climb to such a high altitude area, and his body is already weak, and his limbs begin to ache and weaken.
But what about Chen Fei?
He actually picked up a sledgehammer at an altitude of more than 8,600 meters?
What exactly is this horse pedaling?
Wang Yongfeng on the side was also quite confused at first, but as one steel nail after another was deeply embedded in the rock wall, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise!
You know, when they first climbed the mountain, most of them chose to detour after encountering these three steps.
But now Chen Fei, with his super physique, actually nailed so many steel nails on the stone steps.
Doesn't this mean that if someone wants to go mountaineering in the future, they can rely on the steel nails left by Chen Fei to successfully reach the summit?
Thinking of this, Wang Yongfeng couldn't help but be a little moved!
"It's laying the foundation for mountaineering enthusiasts around the world......"
~
Passing through the second step, Chen Fei put away the hammer, inserted a signal rod in his hand, and then continued forward.
Soon, he was at the bottom of the third staircase.
As the altitude increases, the temperature drops and even glacial winds become the norm.
In desperation, Chen Fei could only lean over slightly, trying to reduce his contact with the wind to avoid being carried away by the storm.
In front of the screen, Messner's eyes were full of reminiscence.
He still clearly remembers that he spent countless efforts when he arrived in this area!
In order to fight the glacial winds, he almost paid with his life!
~
Coming to the third step, Chen Fei looked up.
It's still a huge granite rock, but it's a bit lower than the second step, and it still has a good point to climb.
However, this time, he did not use the ice draft as an aid, but chose the most primitive way of climbing!
With both hands inserted into his waist, he grabbed a ball of magnesium powder and smeared it evenly in the palm of his hand.
Seeing this scene, some rock climbing enthusiasts were stunned!
"Good fellows? Why did you take out the magnesium powder? Is this rock climbing on Mount Everest? ”
"Damn, I almost forgot, Director Chen seems to be a rock climbing enthusiast!"
"Mother, this is a big increase in the difficulty of rock climbing!"
"How many more world records does he have to break?"
"Look forward to it, I'm kind of obedient......"
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, Chen Fei came to the rock wall, his hands stretched out, clasping the two rock crevices and protrusions that could be used for strength.
Then, with the force of the arm, the feet were dragged up and found a point of focus for pedaling.
Left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot......
His limbs are like robotic arms controlled by a computer, constantly repeating the action of climbing upwards, while his body is tightly attached to the rock wall, and he once again transforms into a big gecko!
It took nearly half an hour, and when a snowy field appeared in the shot, a burst of enthusiastic cheers rang out in front of the screen!
"It worked! He's made it over the third step! ”
~
Time flies, and the darkness before dawn completely envelops the entire Everest.
Chen Fei slowly stood up, facing the glacial wind blowing from the front, gritted his teeth, and tried to move forward!
Once you have crossed the third step, you have reached an altitude of 8,800 meters.
There are only 48 meters left from the final peak!
However... This is also the area where hurricanes are at their worst!
A Category 12 hurricane is raging wildly, and the wind direction is extremely unstable, and strong storms can break out on the left, right, front and back.
Chen Fei endured the discomfort of being torn apart by the hurricane, and looked firmly ahead, only the towering mountain peaks remained in his eyes!
In front of the screen, everyone did not dare to come out, for fear that a violent breath would implicate the terrifying hurricane on the top of the mountain.
Ten minutes have passed!
Twenty minutes have passed!
Thirty minutes passed quietly!
When Chen Fei's feet stepped on the top of the towering mountain, cheers resounded all over the world!
"Yay! Reached the top! He made it to the top! ”
"! Awesome, it's really home! ”
“8848.48?! I, Nima, watched labor and management for a day and a night, and finally conquered! ”
"Oh my god, this will be a historic moment!"
“Fei! I love it to death! That's so cool! ”
“……”
In all regions of the world, all the viewers who were watching the broadcast jumped up at almost the same time, roaring and roaring wildly!
However, at this moment, a scene that brought tears to the eyes of the audience in the Chinese region appeared.
I saw Chen Fei suddenly take off his helmet and put it aside, and pointed the camera at himself.
Immediately after, he took off his backpack and pulled out a bright red color from it!
At this moment, the cheers stopped abruptly!
Everyone froze in place, watching his movements in disbelief.
A five-star red flag was unfurled by him, held high above his head, aimed at the deep and oppressive darkness!
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and how loud the victory song is, singing about our dear motherland, and from now on to prosperity, prosperity and strength......"
A song "Singing the Motherland" resounded at the world's highest peak at 8848.48 meters above sea level - "Mount Everest"!
When the last sentence "from now on to prosperity and strength" fell, the originally deep and oppressive darkness was suddenly torn, and a dazzling light exploded directly from the clouds, rendering on the top of Mount Everest!
Top of Mount Everest!
The sun is rising!
Red flags flying!
Long live the Motherland!
