Chapter 388: Just a little taste? There is no such thing.
Chapter 388: Just try and stop? There is no such item.
Above the pass, Attenborough opened his arms excitedly, as if embracing the entire sky, his old face filled with blood.
The hiking pole came out of his hand and rolled down the hillside, making the audience's eyelids jump wildly.
[Sir, this is too fierce, he has gone up to 6,000 meters, awesome]
【What the fuck is he ninety years old?】
[No one believes it, and I don’t believe it either. You can run faster than me at the age of eighty, and you can climb Mount Everest at the age of ninety.]
【Starting tomorrow, I will also start working out!】
【Tomorrow, a place that contains 99% of human hope and creativity.】
Compared to the shock of the audience, Sir Alex was not worried at all. Although breathing became difficult, they brought enough oxygen bottles this time. Holding the mouth of the bottle, Attenborough took a big sip and pointed to the Tianshan Mountains in the distance.
, the blush on his face became even worse.
Everyone followed his finger and looked towards Yadong Valley, and found that the road between the mountains was also covered by the sea of clouds.
The Duke said with certainty: "That's a river valley, and it left a deep impression on me. It's really spectacular. As the altitude drops, you can clearly feel that the composition of plant species is also changing rapidly, and the mountains and plains are full of them."
The pink bristly rhododendrons are gradually replaced by yellow scaly gland rhododendrons and golden rhododendrons, and large herbaceous plants such as Trichosanthes coneflower and variegated primroses begin to appear.
Compared with the dwarf herbs on the plateau, those majestic flowers and huge herbs seem to come from different planets. You can no longer find a place on this planet where you can have this kind of experience. It is their appearance that makes
I suddenly realized that I had arrived at a place with the most unique plant species on earth."
When Attenborough talked about this, he was still not satisfied, as if he wanted to experience it again personally.
[Oh my god, I can’t understand what the lordship is talking about. I know the cuckoo, what are the bristles and immortals?]
[Lao Fang’s machine translation is too awesome, right? Can all the scientific names be translated? 】
[That said, I really want to go. For a few hours, I can watch the rapid changes of various plants. It feels so dreamy]
[I see different flowers every once in a while, and the temperature and humidity change at the same time. It’s awesome when you think about it, it’s like visiting a planet]
"We were driving there, and as the altitude continued to drop, we could feel the temperature outside the car rising rapidly. There were many large conifers, such as Yadong fir, Nujiang redwood, small trees such as Yunnan sea buckthorn, Nepalese yellow flower tree, and big-leaved rose.
This woody plant has become the main dominant species in the mountains. Herbs that like a moist environment, such as trough-stemmed impatiens, Tibetan palm leaf primula, strigose plum and bells, also use the shade of trees to grow in the forest.
The growth spreads underneath.
The water vapor from the Indian Ocean also brings more species from the southern slopes of the Himalayas there. If you search carefully, you can find some plants that can only be seen in Yadong in the world, such as Yadong Astragalus, Yadong Lampstand, and so on.
Finally, at the junction of forests and meadows at higher altitudes, we also found a large number of orchid species. 9 species of orchid plants were found in just 100 square meters. This kind of orchid species diversity is unprecedented in the world.
They are among the best in the world; there is also a species of the genus Cypripedium, Alpine Cypripedium, which is a new record in Yadong. This kind of Cypripedium is also one of the rarest species of Cypripedium in the world. Only XZ Jilong and Shannan have history.
Distribution records.”
The lordship was so excited that he didn't notice that the people behind him all turned their eyes upward, with expressions on their faces as if they were listening to the scriptures.
Even Bifang pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He knew many of the plants Attenborough mentioned, but he had never even heard of many of them, which really shocked him.
My biological identification level is already very high, but there are still so many things I don’t know.
If Sir Alex Ferguson could be quantified, what level should it be?
Orange creature identification?
Bi Fang shuddered and felt horrified, and then realized a problem. Orange is far from the limit and the top. In this world, it can be achieved by a very small number of people who are extremely talented and devote everything to it.
Those who have reached the top through their own efforts are truly strong.
In comparison, I just took a shortcut.
Thinking of this, Bi Fang couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but the depression was only a momentary thing. After thinking about it, he realized that his goal was to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, and it was not to reach the pinnacle of a certain skill.
The abilities given to him by the system are tools, not goals.
Even if the content of his live broadcast is mainly about teaching survival, it is just a good way, which is decided based on the experience of the previous life and the judgment of the current world situation. In fact, there is no need for Bifang to do this. It is just that after this, the live broadcast will
The fun and interactivity will be greatly reduced, and the possibility of completing the task is extremely slim.
On the other side, Attenborough was still talking about his experiences, from the eastern part of the Himalayas to Jilong Valley, from Kongtanglam Pass to Jilong Town. He even danced when he was excited. If he hadn't stopped to take a breath of oxygen from time to time, he wouldn't have seen it at all.
To be honest, it is at an altitude of 6,000 meters.
"Since it is a long way from the mountain pass to Jilong Town, we just took a quick look at the top of the snow-capped mountains on the opposite side from the mountain pass, and then went all the way down without stopping. It was already midnight when we arrived; when we woke up the next morning, we
I found myself in a warm, green valley, with towering steep cliffs on both sides.
Continuing along the river valley to lower altitudes, you can even see plant species from subtropical rainforests, such as Euphorbia genus Euphorbia. The plant survey in Jilong Valley is even more lacking than in Biadong Valley, so many new recorded species can still be found here, and even
new species.
On the cliffs of the Jilong Zangbo Canyon, you can often see the characteristic plant of the southern slopes of the Himalayas: Artemisia vulgaris. In the alpine shrubs with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters near the Jilong Valley, we finally saw the most mysterious green velvet grass in China--
Green velvet in Jilong is a rare plant of the genus Green velvet published by Chinese botanists. Its distribution is extremely narrow and there has been no color photo record for a long time."
Everything seems to be back to how it used to be when shooting documentaries.
In the live broadcast room, the audience seemed to have returned to the past, an era before mobile phones and even TV series were booming. They sat around in front of the TV and watched an old man introducing one kind of wonderful animals and plants in the desert, grassland and forest.
What best reflects this is the steadily increasing number of viewers in the live broadcast room. Although it is not an explosive growth, almost everyone who comes in stays.
In the base camp tent a few hundred meters below, Wang Yongbo leaned on the pillow and took a breath of oxygen. He felt relaxed physically and mentally. The oxygen flowed along the red blood cells throughout the body, bringing a sense of comfort and pleasure. The wind and snow were falling outside.
There is a warm stove inside to grill, and you can also feel the bulging feeling in your pocket.
Life is complete.
Bi Fang took a deep breath, and the airflow that was originally white mist was instantly frozen into slag.
The high mountains and deep valleys of the Himalayas contain endless treasures. The scenery here is unique in the world, magnificent and ever-changing, and the plant species here have also become unique and diverse as the Himalayas rise and the rivers cut them. Here too
It is one of the least surveyed areas of plants in the world, with many high mountains and deep valleys not yet visited by many humans.
But these are not the purpose of Bi Fang's visit this time. He took out the thermometer and pressed the switch.
minus eleven degrees.
"The weather is not very good today. It started to hail when I went out in the morning." Rob breathed heavily. It would be difficult for ordinary people just to stand here.
Bi Fang put down his backpack on the ground, then took out his telescope and looked at the top of the mountain.
On the seemingly distant top of the mountain, there seems to be a layer of white clouds lingering endlessly.
Putting down the telescope, Bi Fang looked at Rob: "How close were you to that recently?"
"Three hundred and seventy-four meters, one step away. However, it was too late at that time, and I was really exhausted, so."
Yao Jun laughed: "If it were me, I would probably rush forward."
"I think about it every day."
"Then why don't you do it?"
"Is it too late?" Bi Fang asked.
"Yes, it was 1:28 pm on the South Peak. I watched it for several minutes before my brain realized that it was almost two o'clock. The situation at that time did not allow us to return until two o'clock in the afternoon. We
I can only give up."
[Ah, this, we have to withdraw at two o’clock in the afternoon, why is this]
【Can’t you climb in the afternoon?】
[But isn’t Lao Fang also crawling in the afternoon these days? 】
The audience didn't understand why, when Mount Everest is so dangerous and there are only a few pitiful opportunities every year, why not sprint in the remaining time when there are only a few hundred meters left?
"Because you must follow the 'two o'clock rule' when climbing Mount Everest, that is, you must complete the summit before two o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise you must turn back. This is mainly because after two o'clock in the afternoon, the climate on Mount Everest will suddenly change and become severe.
The weather and violent winds will pose a serious threat to the lives of climbers, making it impossible to continue climbing. Therefore, many climbing teams will set off in the early morning after arriving at the C4 camp, just to rush for time, and the temperature is low in the early morning.
The snow is harder and your feet are less likely to sink into it, saving more energy."
Bi Fang grabbed a ball of snow on the ground. Because the temperature dropped again, the snow was easily crushed into lumps. "As for why we are still climbing in the afternoon these days, it is naturally because the difficulty below the base camp is completely different. Except
You don’t need to worry too much about time other than crawling in the dark.”
"You know so much, I even suspected that the guide was not me, but you." Rob took out an oxygen tank and wanted to hand it to Bifang, but was waved away.
Others can inhale, but Bi Fang cannot. He has not forgotten his goal this time, which is to reach the summit without oxygen. He cannot inhale any technological oxygen in the middle and can only rely on his own lungs.
Rob was a little confused when he was rejected. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He smiled and said, "No, you really decided to climb to the summit without oxygen? In fact, there is no need at all. You are already the first one to live broadcast the climb of Mount Everest. No
It’s necessary to risk your own life, really.”
After getting along with each other for a few days, Rob's impression of Bifang has been greatly improved. Unlike the anchor who imagined that he would only hold back, set the pace, and let the audience buy gifts, the Chinese man in front of him is obviously real and has good physical fitness.
Extremely strong, even much higher than himself. He climbed to 5,600 meters. He was able to climb more than ten meters with bare hands without any stage training, and successfully rescued victims, which simply subverted his own cognition.
And all of this was seen by Rob, and his evaluation of Bifang was no longer silly. He confirmed that the other party was really here to climb to the top, and it was indeed possible, although the possibility was very small.
And the other person is definitely not an inexperienced novice. It is very likely that he has climbed a 7,000-meter peak but has not received a certificate, so there is no record on the profile.
But, no oxygen.
Impossible, really impossible.
At first Rob thought that Bifang was ignorant, but now he changed his mind and knew that the other party had some strength, but he was too complacent. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. After seeing the snow-capped mountains, he should have retreated. Unexpectedly,
High-altitude mountaineering and rock climbing are always different from hiking. Its fault tolerance and controllability are extremely low. Even if every step is taken correctly, and every movement and technical use are 100% standardized, it will not be able to withstand a random burst.
A piece of falling rock or broken ice brought down by strong winds from a high place cannot withstand the unstable snow layer and ice cracks hidden under the pure white crystal of the snow slope. It cannot withstand the sudden blizzard that causes disorientation and hypothermia. It cannot withstand the death zone after 8000m.
Organs throughout the body gradually die due to lack of oxygen.
Every tiny natural force, whether it changes or remains unchanged, may change your life. Historical events repeat themselves again and again: the constantly moving glaciers and the cracks in them swallow up 30% of the climbers who pass through Khumbu.
The avalanche can swallow up 19 lives in the base camp in 2 minutes.
Human negligence has been repeated in turn. Ropes with quality problems suddenly broke at high altitudes. People lost their balance while descending due to lack of oxygen, exhaustion and mental confusion. People fell when they forgot to tie the tail knot of the rope when climbing and descending on multiple sections...
Yes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
But what if he is killed?
"Think about how high the mountaineering mortality rate is. A poor person can only climb 30-40 of his target peaks in his lifetime. Due to seasonal door opening and closing time restrictions, how many top people can climb them all? Too many people fail at 'this one'
Gone."
The person who said this is from Canada and is Rob's colleague. Almost every time they heard about the mountain disaster, they would have such a discussion together.
Everyone has only one chance to live.
So there is no solution.
"I know."
Unexpectedly, Bi Fang nodded. He took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped the candy wrapper and put it directly into his mouth. He chewed it twice and said, "When I started to go to the mountains and fields."
At that time, I would try my best to reduce the impact on nature and minimize the traces of existence. I would carefully bury the fire pit and restore it to its original state, collect dead branches as much as possible when lighting the fire, and try not to cut down trees as much as possible. When I started rock climbing,
You won't touch any uncut rock walls.
Like many people around me, I can't stop dancing when I talk about the outdoors, and my eyes are shining when I look at the mountains.
Even though every time I try hard and succeed in survival, death may follow. Even though I have lingering fears every time I experience life and death, I still adjust my breathing and start over with trembling feet. Even if I can't even see the beautiful scenery above 6000m.
I have never experienced any challenges or tests, but I yearn for every step of the journey to take me to a farther and higher place..."
Bi Fang took a sip of water and swallowed the candy dregs.
"Probably, the option of 'taste a little and stop' is not in my dictionary."
