Chapter 649: Everest Base Camp
Da... Da... Da...
High in the air.
A Mi-26 transport helicopter is constantly approaching the southwest at a speed of 295 kilometers per hour.
At this moment, Chen Ya and Ash Hao were sitting side by side in the cabin.
Although the noise of the propeller was very loud, it did not affect the communication between the two, and after seeing Chen Ya separated from his family, he was speechless for a long time, so he smiled:
"Brother Ya, to be honest, sometimes I really admire you! Being able to put everything down and take risks is not something that everyone has. β
Hearing this, Chen Ya smiled and did not answer.
Then, Ash Hao took out a document and handed it to him:
"The next arrangement, no problem, right?"
Chen Ya took the document and looked at it, the content was about the precautions for climbing Mount Everest, as well as some arrangements.
The specific arrangements have been negotiated by the two in advance.
First of all...
After arriving at the Everest base camp, Chen Ya had three days to do adaptive training.
Training content.
A climbing pull-up is also included.
After all, Mount Everest in March was absolutely terrifying, and even Chen Ya was not 100% sure that he would be able to successfully reach the summit.
Secondly, Soot Hao's team was responsible for logistics and meteorological support.
As for the rescue...
Sorry, no!
If Chen Ya was accidentally buried on Mount Everest, absolutely no one would be able to save him back.
So...
The document also includes a life and death certificate.
Chen Ya didn't speak, picked up the pen and signed his name on the life and death certificate, and then asked:
"The shooting team, have you contacted us?"
"Well, when the helicopter arrives at the Everest base camp, the reality show will start recording. β
Jiang Ming smiled and nodded, this was discussed by the two.
In addition to the live broadcast of the drone, the process before climbing Mount Everest, Soot Hao invited a professional team to shoot a reality show as a later program tidbit.
Obviously.
This is to make a TV show, after all, climbing Mount Everest at this time period is absolutely unprecedented.
And this time...
Chen Ya wants to make history!
......
"Let's rest, it is estimated that it will be one or two o'clock in the morning before I will fly to the Everest base camp. β
Ash Hao said, Chen Ya nodded, after all, from Beihu to the base camp of Mount Everest, the straight-line distance is nearly three thousand kilometers.
Although this Mi-26 is not loaded with cargo, it will take at least ten hours or more to reach the Everest base camp on the premise of ensuring the flight speed.
Besides, you have to refuel at the airport three times along the way.
They set off at two o'clock in the afternoon...
It's nice to be able to get to the place at one or two o'clock in the morning at night!
And so.
Chen Ya also closed his eyes and rested, and began to recuperate.
......
Three hours later.
The Mi-26 landed in Chongqing, filled up with aviation fuel, and then took off again.
Next stop
It was almost three hours again.
At Qamdo Airport, when he refueled again after landing, Chen Ya opened his eyes and looked outside the airport and found that it was already sunset.
Third stop
When the helicopter arrived at Lhasa Airport, it was 12 o'clock in the evening.
When landing at the airport, Chen Ya was also observing the scene below, although the ground was dark in the middle of the night, the runway lights on the airport and the countless brightly lit streets on the ground still made people feel very dazzling.
And at this moment, the cigarette ash hao beside him was also shivering with cold, and after waking up, he opened his mouth and asked with a cold air:
"Arrived in Lhasa?"
"Well, it's almost time to get to the Everest base camp. β
Chen Ya nodded.
Ash Hao changed into a down jacket, and at the same time handed Chen Ya a piece to protect him from the cold, and the latter shook his head and said:
"No, I'm used to it. β
Hearing this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said:
"I almost forgot, you're the second to enter the palace!"
β......β
Chen Ya has a black line, after all, he is the second time he has come to Lhasa, and he doesn't think it is cold here, let alone altitude sickness.
Soon, fuel was replenished.
The Mi-26 took to the air again and directly hit the base camp of Mount Everest, 600 kilometers away.
......
About two hours.
It was getting colder and colder, and there was even frost on the cabin window, and through the window, you could see the fog outside.
This time.
The driver of the Mi-26 was extremely cautious, and he turned on GPS positioning throughout the whole process, for fear that one would accidentally crash into the snowy mountain.
Same...
Chen Ya and Ash Hao in the cabin were also a little nervous.
"In the future, you must learn to fly an airplane. β
Chen Ya secretly made up his mind, he didn't like the feeling of putting his life in the hands of others.
......
Everest Base Camp
Altitude: 5,200 meters
Air temperature: -21Β°C
On the tarmac of the transfer station 'Baidang Camp', a thick fog was shrouded, and even if the four Humvees turned on the fog lights, the visibility was only more than ten meters.
At this moment, cameras are set up on the tarmac, and the shooting team is wearing thick winter clothing and is busy in an orderly manner.
"Director, when will the protagonist arrive?"
Hearing the deputy's inquiry, Cardins said impatiently:
"Wait. β
To be honest, if not the ability of the investors to make money.
Cardins would never have led a team to venture to this ghost place, and he couldn't figure out how that Chinese could launch such a crazy challenge.
Climbing Everest in March?
It's no different from sending you to death.
Although Cardins is British, has a certain adventurous spirit in his own right, and has even made many documentaries about climbers, it does not mean that he will accompany the other party to his death.
No way.
The gold lord's father is so fragrant!
Cardins really had no reason to refuse.
Fortunately...
The filming is very simple, and there is no need to follow the other person to climb Mount Everest.
You only need to record the life of these three days, as well as an adaptability exercise, and finally make a summary recording.
Summary...
There is a high probability that the protagonist died on Mount Everest.
......
March 12, 2020
2:03 a.m. at night.
Da... Da... Da...
In the foggy night sky, the sound of propellers was gradually heard.
Knowing that the protagonist had arrived, and that there was also the father of the gold lord, Cartins saw a Mi-26 gradually fall to the tarmac when the fog was blown away by the cyclone.
"Exxon, start shooting!"
At the order of Cardins, the three photographers pointed their shooting equipment at the landing helicopter and started the recording work.
When the Mi-26 landed steadily.
Chen Ya in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time saw that the pilot was directly spread out in the cab.
Obviously.
The last flight in the night sky is also quite a challenge for the pilot.
Wow!~
As the hatch opened, Jiang Ming immediately smiled:
"Let's go, come out with me!"
Chen Ya naturally saw the filming crew outside, and estimated that the soot hao paid for the reality show team.
The two got off the plane.
The camera first gave Chen Ya, and then one of the blonde photographers began to say in proficient Chinese:
"This is our challenger, Chen Ya from China! In the next three days, we will ......"
Foreign chicks?
Chen Ya frowned, then looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the person who looked like the director was actually a foreigner.
So, Chen Ya turned his head to look at Ash Hao, his face full of unhappiness.
"That...... Tell you about it. β
Ash Hao smiled, and then began to introduce the shooting team.
And at this moment, the camera also turned to this investor.
As the father of the gold owner, it is still necessary to show his face at the beginning, Chen Ya doesn't mind, but he didn't expect to invite a foreign shooting team.
"This is the director, Cardins Ottem, British. β
Ash Hao said, then looked at the female photographer and smiled:
"She's your go-to photographer. β
Photographer Queen...
Or a foreign girl?
Chen Ya was speechless for an instant, but the foreign girl took the initiative to stretch out her hand to him and smiled:
"Hello, my name is Sasha Pivopolova, I'm from Russia, I'll shoot all your training for three days, as well as life ......"
Russia?
Chen Ya's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that the other party was a hairy girl from Xiong Country, and the feeling of resistance in his heart was greatly reduced, so he shook hands with him and nodded:
"Ha la whistle (Russian: very good), nice to work with!"
Obviously, Chen Ya still likes the people of Xiong very much.
A brief introduction.
Soot Hao then said:
"Let's go, get in the car first, here is more than ten kilometers away from the Dongpo base camp. β
Everyone didn't talk nonsense, got into the Humvee, and started to go to the real destination of the trip.
That's it...
The four Humvees immediately pulled to the tarmac and drove towards the base camp on the eastern slope with their high beams on.
The so-called Everest base camp.
In fact, there are more than a dozen camps, such as Baidang Camp, Oga Camp, Tangxiang Camp, etc., most of which are open to tourists.
Camp Baidang is a staging station, and it is considered one of the camps with the most outposts.
γEverest East Slope Base Campγ
It is the outpost at the foot of Mount Everest, the real base camp of Mount Everest, and at the same time it is forbidden for tourists to approach.
On the way to Dongpo, Chen Ya took advantage of the high beams and saw a warning sign appear on the side of the road from time to time, with eye-catching Chinese and Tibetan:
γTourists stop!γ
γ???????????????????????? γ
......
According to relevant laws and regulations, as of April 2020, tourists are not allowed to enter the Everest Base Camp.
Chen Ya's trip to Mount Everest this time has applied for official permission in advance, which is the result of his joint efforts with Ash Hao, and it is also legal to shoot a reality show this time.
On the way to the Dongpo camp, Sasha, who was sitting next to Chen Ya, was still holding a camera aimed at him, and at the same time opened an interview:
"I believe that many people are curious, Mr. Chen, why are you challenging Mount Everest at this special time?"
"No, I just like it, do you believe it?"
Chen Ya turned his head to look at the blonde girl, and there was a playful look in his eyes.
The next three days should not be boring.
It's just a pity that he's ......
Married man.
