Yao Jun held the plastic basin and looked at the sticky food inside. He felt his stomach churn and he had no appetite.
Bi Fang picked up the spoon and took a bite. The taste was bland, and because of the boiling point problem, even after cooking for a long time, the texture of the noodles was still a bit hard. It was paired with pulpy vegetables, and there was a kind of instant noodles that was not boiled and mixed with marshmallows.
The texture when eaten is indeed difficult to swallow.
[Why does it look like pig food (dog head)]
【Ah, can't you eat something good?】
【Eat grilled Tibetan snow**!】
[Don’t talk about chickens, civilize you, me and him]
Rob also sat down with a rice bowl. After a hard day, he was not so particular. He picked up the rice bowl and drank most of it. After finishing it, he said: "There will be Sherpas here every two days."
People bring fresh bread and vegetables, which are all delivered by our company. They are healthy and nutritious and are free. However, some people will also sell some food, but believe me, those things are not much better, and
More expensive."
The materials here are transported over long distances, so whether it is pancakes or eggs, it is not surprising that the price is extremely high, even ten times higher, and even so it is still scarce, and eating a bowl of white porridge makes you feel full of happiness.
Yao Jun sighed, knowing that he could not expect too much, so he drank it in one gulp. When he was done, he smashed it in his mouth and looked at the Sherpa on the side: "Did you add salt? Why do I feel that the taste is so bland?
?”
The Sherpa was confused, dipped his little finger in the plate, and then nodded affirmatively.
"Oh, that's weird, there's no salty taste at all." Yao Jun scratched his head.
"Because high altitude will dull your sense of taste." Bi Fang drank a bowl of sticky food. The taste was also bland, as if there was no oil and water, which was very unpleasant. However, in order to replenish energy, he still had to eat these things completely.
Down.
"When a person is in a low-pressure state, the blood supply will change, and the sensitivity of the brain nerves will also change accordingly. Once the sensitivity of the brain nerves that perceive taste changes, the taste will be different from that in a normal environment. It may become lighter.
Thirty percent, the Sherpas often live here and are used to it, but we just came up, so naturally we are not used to it."
"In addition, there are olfactory reasons, but in our perception of taste, odor accounts for up to 80%. And olfactory cells can only work better in a humid environment, and now we are gathered around the oven
, although it is warm, dryness is inevitable. The two combined, the natural taste is lighter."
At present, the only ones generally recognized by the scientific community are sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami. In addition, in the past 15 years, scientists from Purdue University in the United States have confirmed the sixth taste.
These taste molecules are captured by the tongue, then transmit the information to the brain, and "tell" the tongue what the food tastes like.
At the same time, the sense of smell is also one of the sharp tools for catching food. But now that the brain and nose are much slower, it is naturally impossible to produce too much smell. This is why airplane meals are generally unpalatable.
"Isn't it true that the food becomes more unpalatable as you go up?" Yao Jun looked shocked?
Bi Fang shrugged: "Do you really think you're here for a vacation? It's good to have some food, but we can't even send supplies to you."
Yao Jun felt a little suffocated. He couldn't let go of his mouth. He waved his hands in frustration: "Hey, I'm a little hypoxic again. Let's rest first. I heard from Rob that I have to train tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, eating faster, then spread out their sleeping bags beside the stove and got inside.
Bi Fang was the last one, and then he said good night to the audience and was about to go to bed when he saw many audience members calling him, and he raised his body again after he had just half-lyed down.
[Lao Fang, is your furnace immortal? 】
[Yes, your tent has no slits, right? Isn’t it poisonous? 】
【Why did Lao Fang miss his mark?】
"Oh, this." Bi Fang casually pulled out the fire stick on the side, opened the stove and flipped around. Unexpectedly, not only did he not extinguish the fire, but he added a lot of fuel. Then he smiled and said, "I don't know how to do this kind of thing."
How could I forget? But what is burned here is not coal, but biomass pellets. This thing is made of firewood, straw and various biomass briquettes. There is no tar when burned, and the smoke and dust emissions are low, and most of it is discharged through the smoke pipe.
Outdoors, it is smokeless and odorless, clean and hygienic, and more environmentally friendly than coal. It burns fully and there is no such thing as carbon monoxide, so there is no need to worry."
[emmm, holding my little Tukang, I gained new insights]
[There are so many tricks, I’m so envious of the rich bosses. Looking at Fang Shen’s hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of flowers, I’m so jealous that my teeth are broken]
[What’s the point? You have to know that all he spent is your money. Doesn’t his climbing mean that you climbed? You will also be the man who climbed Mount Everest without oxygen]
【I am Leopard Head Lingchong!】
[Speaking of which, Sir Alex is so perseverant that he can still go up to the base camp at the age of ninety. Last time I went to XZ, I almost lost everyone. Sure enough, age has nothing to do with trash, I am the only one]
The liveliness of the audience amused Bi Fang, and he chatted for a few more words before finally going off the air.
Before going to bed, I looked at the number of people in the live broadcast room and found that the peak number today actually reached 2.45 million, which was gratifying.
My Everest challenge hasn't officially started yet. I'm just chatting and looking at the scenery, and I can actually reach the number of viewers that I usually get during peak hours of live broadcasts.
It seems that Sir Alex Ferguson's arrival has indeed played a big role. The host of Animal World came to Fang Shen's live broadcast room and spread the word about it. He even attracted many people who had never watched the live broadcast just to see it with their own eyes.
Let’s take a look at what kind of live broadcast can attract Sir Alex to join us.
Bi Fang closed his eyes with satisfaction. At the end of this live broadcast, the wilderness points have been increased a lot, at least 300. It is a high-end equipment at least.
Plan pass.
the next day.
"I can't do it anymore. You go ahead. If I try to climb up again, I'll be dead." Wang Yongbo took a big gulp of oxygen and said with thick dark circles under his eyes.
Wang Yongbo didn't sleep well at all last night. He had to take a breath of oxygen from time to time. Even if he fell asleep, it felt like there was something pressing on his chest in his dream. It was extremely uncomfortable. If he climbed down again, he might really die on Mount Everest.
.
It is not easy for him to trek a long distance to the camp with an altitude of nearly 6,000 meters. Going further up, although the vertical altitude is only 3,000 meters, how much distance can be walked?
Climb up Jiuhuang Mountain in Beichuan on foot? It’s only over 2,000 meters. You can imagine how difficult the rest of the journey is. It’s simply not something he can do. If he actually goes up, everyone has to be distracted to take care of him.
This is not good.
As for the rest of the journey, Bi Fang plans to advance step by step, and finally wait for the weather forecast at an altitude of 7,900 meters. Once the weather is qualified, he will climb to the summit before 2,000 meters in the afternoon and then return.
Bi Fang scratched his eyebrows, still expecting Wang Yongbo's failure: "Then do you want to go back first? Rob will go up with us. At this time, no other guide team will go down the mountain. If you want to go down,
We can only go down with the Sherpas who brought us food.”
Wang Yongbo waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just wait for you here. It's more than 5,000 meters, and I feel okay. I just ask the porter to bring me more oxygen bottles."
After that, Wang Yongbo turned on the oxygen concentrator on the side and inserted the oxygen tube into his nose skillfully, as if he was a severe ICU patient. He looked at Bifang a little funny.
Shaking his head, everyone ignored him and followed Rob for training. Today they will go to the pass first, and then conduct a series of training. They will return to the camp in the evening to repair, and then continue to move forward the next day, striving to reach the second place.
A base camp.
Time was tight, but there was nothing we could do about it. Bi Fang and others arrived late, so the home training venue could only be changed to the third camp.
As soon as he left the camp, something went wrong with Yao Jun. He grabbed Bifang and looked constipated.
Bi Fang didn't know why: "What's wrong?"
Yao Jun's face turned red, he looked around, and after a long while he asked: "Is there a toilet here?"
Bi Fang pointed to the gravel array beside him speechlessly.
Yao Jun was extremely embarrassed. He looked at the extremely open gravel array and almost died on the spot. Brother, you are still broadcasting live, and you want me to pull it here?
But when a group of people stopped because of Yao Jun's toilet problem, he felt embarrassed and could only take the toilet paper and find a big stone in the gravel.
Defeating in the wild is definitely something different. Yao Jun has not experienced defecating in the wild, but what is different from his experience in China is that in the past, people used to find trees and other shelters to block the outdoors, and the field of view was not very wide, but here in the gravel array
There are no trees, so we can only find a big rock to hide behind. Although it can block the sight of the group members, the space behind the butt is very wide, and the field of view is at least 2 to 5 kilometers away.
This means that people 2 to 5 kilometers behind can see him. Is there anything more exciting than this?
For the first time, I enjoy spending my youth in such an open sky, what more could I ask for?
When the team regrouped and headed to the pass, everyone once again encountered the Tibetan Snow Chicken. Unfortunately, they did not stop this time. They took two photos and then moved on.
After walking up a comfortable and gentle slope, everyone entered the gravel array. These scattered stone arrays are the masterpieces left behind by the glaciers.
"Start climbing immediately. Check your crampons. Don't be careless. It's already above the snow line and it's very dangerous." After walking 200 meters, Rob gasped.
Everyone stopped and checked, and Bi Fang also tapped the crampons on his feet and showed them to the audience. At this time, many spectators who had no mountaineering experience discovered that there was an extra pair of hiking boots under Bi Fang's feet.
External attachment like sharp claws.
"I use full-clip professional crampons. This type of crampon requires that the shoes must have crampon slots. The advantage of full-clip is that it is very stable after being fixed and not easy to loosen. It is more free and convenient to put on and take off. But the disadvantage is that if the shoes are made
If there are crampon slots, the soles need special reinforcement. The soles will be very hard, heavy, and difficult to make, so the overall price of the shoes will not be too low. I didn't install them yesterday, but today we are already above the snow line.
So I have to pretend.”
Rob pointed to the walking traces not far ahead and said: "Because there are many ice crevices nearby and are dangerous, we can only follow the footprints of our predecessors."
Everyone followed the traces, and soon they came to a huge rock. Then everyone climbed up at an angle of almost 60 degrees. Hail started to fall in the sky at some point, and the only person who could hear it was themselves.
Overloaded gasping sound.
The environment is really very harsh, with thin and dry air, temperatures of minus five or six degrees Celsius, super strong ultraviolet rays, and a tired and wind-cold body. I really can only go on by willpower.
Seeing that the snow on the ground was getting more and more thick, and when everyone could no longer hold on, a vast expanse of white snow came into view.
Rob raised his head, crossed himself on his chest, and said excitedly: "We're here, at the pass!"
As you climb the pass, your view suddenly opens up, and you can even see the entire rolling mountain range through this natural window.
Bi Fang finally saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the endless sandy land under the snow-capped mountains.
Take out the altitude gauge.
5814M
There is no city above the county level higher than this pass. The highest county of XZSH is only 5,000 meters. Now, they are much taller than most human beings. At the same time, there are no permanent residents at this height on the earth.
There is only about 50% of the oxygen content in the air in the capital, but there is a benefit.
There is no smog at all.
The air is cold, but extremely fresh, as if what is being breathed into the lungs is not air, but water.
Standing here, Bi Fang can clearly see a large crater lying across the earth, which is the bed of a large lake - Duoqingcuo, and the snow-capped mountains behind Duoqingcuo is Zhuomula with an altitude of more than 7,000 meters.
Sun Snow Mountain.
On the dry lake, the violent wind swept the rain and gravel across the ground. Everyone looked towards the snow-capped mountains and found that the clouds and mist behind the snow-capped mountains were rushing towards the low-lying passes between the peaks like a tide. It was water vapor coming from the distant Indian Ocean.
, they were trying to climb over the highest mountain range in the world; although they successfully climbed over the peak, they gradually dissipated not far from the pass.
Everyone stretched out their hands, as if they could feel the moist vapor.
Attenborough was a little blinded by the ultraviolet rays, but he could still tell the difference. He smiled innocently and happily like a child: "Behind the snow-capped mountains is Bhutan, and around the snow-capped mountains is the mysterious Yadung Valley. I
I have been there before and it was very shocking. This side of the snow-capped mountains is dry sandy land, and only the most drought-tolerant plants can survive in such an extreme environment; while the other side of the pass is the humid foothills shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
Most areas in XZ are on the north side of the Himalayas. The climate is dominated by alpine desert or dry and warm valley climates. Although species are special, they are not abundant. However, the Himalayas are deeply cut into several grooves by rivers, and water vapor flows along the
The valleys rise diffusely, creating a completely different climate from the surroundings. Many subtropical and even tropical plants are able to grow to higher altitudes along the warm and humid environment created by water vapor.
The temperature and humidity changes brought about by the huge altitude difference from the mountain peaks to the valleys make the plant communities here extremely diverse and rich in species. Moreover, the mountains between the valleys act as natural barriers and form geographical isolation, making the plant species here extremely diverse.
Severe differentiation has resulted in the emergence of many narrowly distributed species; various reasons have made the valleys in the Himalayas the most biologically diverse areas in the entire XZ, and also the most attractive plant sanctuary in China.
I was so excited when I went there, it was heaven!”
At this time, the prince was dancing. He had been to both sides of the mountain, but he had never been to the mountain and looked down on both sides. Such a magnificent scenery even made the mountaineering pole in his hand come out, and he fell straight down the ice slope into the valley.
between.
Argentinosaurus, which lived in the Cretaceous period, is one of the largest known land animals, with a length of more than 30 meters and a weight of 70 tons. In an Argentinosaurus footprint, the fossils of 18 small animals have been found, including 10 small dinosaurs.
He died if he fell in and couldn't get out.
I’m here to promote books again. When people hang out in the world, there are always some human connections.
