After drinking a bag of water, Bi Fang stopped and looked around, stationed his hiking pole and came to the edge of a glacier.
He took out the ice pick from his waist, tapped it with the ice pick, and made a small hole. After determining the position, he smashed it down hard. The tip of the pick squeezed into the ice, and the cracks spread as quickly as lightning.
Holding the other end of the ice cube, Bi Fang lifted and pried it with his right hand, and a whole piece of thick ice was pried off. He picked up the ice cube, took out a knife, scraped the ice cube into pieces little by little, and put it into a water bag.
He said while scraping.
"At this altitude, there are no streams on the mountain anymore, and all the water is ice and snow. If you want to replenish water, you can only use ice and snow, and then use the dissipated body temperature to slowly melt it like I did in Mohe."
"Due to the need for frequent hydration, you'd better prepare three hydration bags to avoid running out of water when you want to drink water. Don't put ice in large pieces, as it won't melt easily. It's best to scrape it into pieces like I am doing now.
Crumbs.”
The dagger in Bi Fang's hand is extremely sharp, and with a single scrape, large pieces will be removed, just like removing fish scales.
"Don't underestimate water deprivation, it is very dangerous. I have said before that drinking water can effectively alleviate altitude sickness. Once dehydration occurs and a reaction occurs, it may disrupt the entire climbing rhythm. Wait until you are thirsty and have a reaction to replenish it. By then it will be too late.
Already."
"As a climber, you have to know when to run, when to walk, when to drink water, and when to replenish energy."
The opening of the water bag is very large, and the ice cubes can be scraped in directly by tilting a little, so Bifang can scrape the ice very quickly. When it is full, insert the dagger back, tighten the cap of the water bag, and put it into the inner opening of the jacket.
"In addition, you should not replenish water too much, as this can lead to water poisoning. The frequency should be more but less. It is best to drink a sip, hold a sip, or add some salt to turn it into salt water. This can balance the electrolytes in the body and will be much better."
[By the way, why not use snow? Isn’t the snow finer? Just grab it and stuff it in, and you still have to scrape off the ice. 】
Many viewers felt that Bi Fang was a bit superfluous.
Is this really the case?
Bi Fang smiled. Survival in the wilderness is like this. Pay attention to everything and do your best in every detail, so that you have a greater chance of survival.
Although the drone can no longer fly, Bi Fang secretly changed its appearance, just like a mobile phone. As long as you take it out and take a look, you can also know the content of the barrage, and he does not shy away from it at this time.
"Because ice is cleaner than snow." Bi Fang pointed to the sky, "Many people should know that there are conditions for water vapor in the air to condense into snowflakes, that is, it needs a condensation nucleus. Only with the condensation nucleus can it become snowflakes.
Generally speaking, the condensation nuclei of snow are just particles of dust, but the ice on glaciers is different."
Bi Fang used a knife to cut off a layer of smoothie and put it into his mouth. It was cold and a little sweet. When exposed to the sun, it was as clear as a gem.
"Glaciers are also snow, but they have been transformed through a series of changes. The process is very slow. The snow that fell in ancient times has been continuously compressed over millions of years, and the impurities originally contained in the snowflakes have been squeezed into the snowflakes.
The edges of the crystals are washed away one after another. The resulting ice cubes, especially those formed from single crystal snowflakes, are as pure as triple-distilled water."
Because of this, Bi Fang has seen many merchants selling mineral water in the name of glacier water. It is not a fraud. It is indeed clean, even cleaner than what is purified by a water purifier. The use of water purification pills is all about it.
insult.
After crossing the glacier, Bi Fang continued to move forward with his hiking pole in hand. But not long after walking, he suddenly froze and took two steps back.
Everyone became nervous and saw that the eyes on the screen kept shifting, as if Fang Shen was looking for something.
【What's up, what's going on?】
【What happened, Lao Fang, what are you looking for? 】
【Let me be healthy】
The moving sight gradually stopped, and the audience saw what Bi Fang was looking for.
【Bird's Nest?】
[Holy shit, what kind of bird builds a nest on Mount Everest?]
[The props team, the props team, it’s all over the place! It’s all over the place!]
Fans were stunned and found it incredible that the Bird's Nest appeared at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters!
Bi Fang was also surprised. The bird's nest was hidden in the cracks of the rocks. If he hadn't noticed something was wrong at a glance and went back to look for it, he might have missed it.
The bird's nest is not big. It is made of dead branches, leaves, feathers and even cotton wool. When Bi Fang got closer, he was surprised to find that there were eggs in the bird's nest!
There are three eggs in the nest, which are yellowish-gray-white with slight brown spots.
Bi Fang knelt on the ground, leaned toward the bird's nest, peeled off the cotton wool on it, then took off his gloves and put them on it to feel the air, and said, "There is also the temperature. The mother or father of the bird must have just left not long ago. It is under low temperature."
Birds need a lot of energy, so they will look for food frequently."
Since he could not tell what kind of bird it was, Bi Fang did not touch it rashly.
"Don't touch the eggs immediately when you see them. Many birds are cautious by nature. Once the eggs are contaminated with other odors, they are likely to peck them to pieces and stop hatching."
hiss!
The audience's hearts twitched. No wonder Fang Shen wanted to feel the temperature from a distance just now. This kind of thing happened?
The current altitude is 6289 meters. There are not many birds that can build nests at such a high altitude. It depends on the location, altitude, environment, and the shape of the eggs.
After searching in his mind, Bifang put the hiking pole under his arm and touched his chin.
"If you guessed correctly, this should be the egg of the alpine yellow-billed chough. This bird will nest at an altitude of 3,000 to 6,000 meters, and even 6,500 meters, which is higher than any other bird nesting altitude.
high.
Now it is May again, which theoretically belongs to spring, a time when birds breed in large numbers. When they hatch, it will be summer, and the temperature will rise, suitable for the survival of young birds. Sir, please help me see if they are the eggs of the mountain yellow-billed chough.
.”
Bi Fang took out his mobile phone and contacted Attenborough directly.
The old man's academic status is not for nothing, so it's better to ask just to be on the safe side.
It didn't take long for Attenborough to receive a positive reply. From the environment and egg shape, they were the eggs of the alpine yellow-billed chough.
Bi Fang looked happy: "It seems Sir Alex has been watching my live broadcast and is paying attention!"
【Point a little star】
[Off-site assistance is a yes]
【So can it be eaten?】
【Eat, eat, eat, you eat all day long, so can you make an omelette?】
"You can eat it. The yellow-billed chough is not a protected animal. There are more than one million in number and there is no risk of extinction. However, I don't recommend eating it." Bi Fang put on his gloves and put the cotton wool back on. "The yellow-billed chough relatives especially like to eat in the house.
It rummages through the garbage for food, and sometimes burrows through the garbage and then comes back to hatch its eggs. If it is not necessary, it is not recommended to eat its eggs, as it is unclean."
The audience felt regretful for a while, thinking that it was a rare thing to be able to eat local food on Mount Everest.
Every time I watch the live broadcast, the most exciting thing is watching Fang Shen hunt and eat authentic game.
Wilderness, a work-hard soul!
[Speaking of which, are there any other animals? It’s more than 6,300 meters. Is there any higher? 】
Bi Fang thought about it, and it really reminded him of a kind of creature: "There is a creature that can even live at an altitude of 6,000 meters. It is definitely the highest altitude creature."
What creature?
People who eat melons are always curious about what is the best.
In order to satisfy the fans' curiosity, Bi Fang accelerated his run and quickly came to the edge of a glacier. He looked inside, but unfortunately there was nothing.
[What is it? Tell me quickly]
[That is, let’s talk first]
What on earth can live at such a high altitude?
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I'll find out when I find it. Logically speaking, it's not difficult to find."
Bi Fang calmed the audience's anxiety and walked continuously for more than half an hour while climbing the mountain. He really made a discovery!
Lying on the edge of a glacier again, Bi Fang stretched out his hand to fish it out. He moved so quickly that an afterimage almost appeared. The audience didn't even see what it was. Bi Fang looked surprised. He obviously caught it. Waiting for him
Open your palms.
【Fuck, spider!】
[There should be screaming at this moment.]
Yes, if there are girls here, they will definitely scream because there is a big furry spider crawling in Bifang's hand!
