The rope was removed and tied to the bow of the ship.
Bi Fang stepped on the sand with bare feet, dragged the boat ashore, stretched the rope, and tied it to a big tree on the shore.
The sun has already set, but the remaining warmth of the sun still lingers on the golden sand, dispelling a hint of the coldness of the autumn night.
Rubbing the soles of the feet on the sand brought an indescribable sense of solidity.
The rain will eventually fall to the earth, and travelers will eventually find their way home.
This is a challenge that is difficult to complete, and it is also a challenge that human beings face to the limit.
For most people, the closest distance to Point Nemo is to pick up a map or globe, or open a map software and enter such a mysterious coordinate: [45o52.6S, 123o23.6W]
That uninhabited mysterious sea may allow people to truly abandon all current pressure and relax themselves.
But first, you have to make sure you can get there and survive.
Bi Fang did it and succeeded.
"My hair is a little longer."
Bi Fang was stroking his hair. He didn't know what to say or do for a moment. His chapped lips collided for a long time before these words suddenly popped out.
【Yes, a little bit.】
[Is Fang Shen a little confused?]
【how do you feel?】
"It feels...well..." Bi Fang pondered for a moment, and finally laughed, "It definitely feels satisfying, but if I were asked to do it again, I wouldn't want to do it again."
Storm, volcano, typhoon.
The huge waves, the strong wind that broke the mast, the scalding steam, the corrosive seawater, the ultraviolet rays that almost took off a layer of skin, the leaking boat, the dilemma of no water and no food.
The skin that had just emerged from the arctic night was much darker, and the muscles were sore and weak. It made people feel that the blood flowing in the blood vessels was no longer blood, but lactic acid.
The body is so tired and overwhelmed.
But only the spirit became stronger.
95% of people see obstacles, while a minority of 4% and 1% see goals.
Similarly, 95% of the people in the world are living a mediocre life, only 4% have reached a higher level, and the other 1% have entered a different level.
Little people will painstakingly describe the obstacles that hinder their development and narrow their horizons, while strong people with direction have the confidence and determination to crush difficulties under their feet.
Cowards never start, the weak die on the road, only the strong can cross.
Bi Fang raised his head and looked up at the stars. Thousands of years ago, there was the same group of people who drifted with him on the vast ocean.
Generations of human beings, just like this, got on canoes, carrying fish hooks and lines, carrying bananas, cassava, coconuts and other fruits, taking their chickens, pigs and dogs, and carrying tools made of obsidian.
, bid farewell to my homeland and sailed towards the vast sea without hesitation.
Whenever a new island is discovered, development will be temporarily stopped, and when the time is right, it will be used as a base to embark on a new journey.
“We don’t know how many people were swallowed by the stormy waves, how many people still failed to reach the other shore after exhausting the last food and water, and we don’t know how many people were attacked and killed by ferocious sharks... But one thing is certain
Yes, mankind has never surrendered, and mankind has never stopped."
"This is the story of us, humanity. We should never be forgotten at any time or anywhere. Although we are fragile and small, we are still strong and great."
"I'm Bifang. Next time we meet, we will be in Sahara."
【Fang Shen is awesome!
!]
...
"There is no doubt that this is the Amundsen, Dias, and Magellan of the 21st century." - The Herald.
"If life is a game, how do you choose to spend your life? Should you follow the rules and follow the rules step by step? Or make bold breakthroughs and take risks?
In the years you have experienced, what do you think is the most adventurous thing you have ever done? What kind of experience and feelings did this thing bring to you, and did it bring different changes to your life?" -
—Le Monde.
"Human beings living mediocrely can only watch the people with melted wings fall from the highest point of the arc like the indifferent horses and farmers by the river, and watch the passion finally turn into a tragedy, which we regard as
Action in vain, only a true hero can feel the gaping hole in the soul that longs for something secretly great." - The Sun.
The news that Bi Fang crossed Point Nemo flew around the world like a bird with spread wings. No well-known non-thematic newspaper could choose to ignore this news.
At the same time, the reputations of Magellan and Amundsen in the 21st century have been placed on Bi Fang's head.
There were a few articles that made Bi Fang feel quite ashamed.
"In the book "Adventures Against the Heavens" compiled by the South African writer William Boleso, a total of eleven top adventurers in human history, including Alexander the Great, were also recorded, and the eleven creations they created
This dizzying moment takes us into the wonderful lives of these born adventurers.
These eleven world-class adventurers are Alexander the Great, Casanova, Columbus, Lola Montez, Cagliostro, Charles XII of Sweden, Napoleon I, Catiline, Napoleon III,
Insadora Duncan and Woodrow Wilson.
In terms of the course of history, these eleven adventurers are all important figures who have carved a strong mark in the long history. They may have only dominated the world for a short time, but they are all challengers who defy the odds.
But if William Bolesau lived in the 21st century today, and had not died in 1930, then I believe that the book would no longer have only eleven chapters, but would have twelve chapters!
As the author said: Adventure stories are the most vivid part of personal and social history.
In the 21st century of steel and concrete, when it comes to the most vital part, I don’t think anyone will forget that man, a man whose presence is as strong as the shining sun.
The peak number of viewers exceeded 40 million, and the total number of visitors to the submarine volcano eruption exceeded 500 million, which means that almost one in every fifteen people in the world has witnessed it and knows him.
If we exclude the Third World, would this ratio be even higher?
one tenth?
Or even higher?
Of course, this number is still increasing. I can’t imagine a situation when a person is walking down the street and almost everyone knows him.
The root cause of all this is not that he is a big star, or that he sings well, or acts well, but that it stems from his pioneering and risky moves.
Regarding the understanding of adventure, among the adventurous people in history, Columbus's adventures are the easiest to identify with. After all, faced with the ruthlessness of the sea and the ever-changing changes in maritime navigation, Columbus crossed the Atlantic four times and discovered the New World.
It is undoubtedly a thrilling journey.
However, since Zheng He sailed to the West first, Columbus's adventure was not so prominent among this group of top adventurers.
In fact, these famous adventurers in history all have similarities, such as the background of the times they lived in, the courage to break through the conventional order, the courage to face struggle, the ambition and ability to fight for freedom and power, etc. They may have very fierce methods
, have different thinking from ordinary people, but the brilliance they create cannot but be recognized by everyone.
What they pursue is an adventurous individualistic thought and a desire for all new things. As the author said: There is an adventurer in everyone's heart and we must become social beings are two incompatible lives.
One is what we long for.
The other is the one we have to choose.
Whether these eleven adventurers were pursuing freedom or power, they all benefited society and promoted the development of historical processes in some sense.
Without these adventurous people, the world might become dull and mired in endless primitiveness.
Thanks to the appearance of Mr. Bi Fang, mankind in the dull 21st century is reminded of the glory of its ancestors and once again hears the horn of courage." - Matthew Hall.
Bi Fang looked at the name at the end of the article and thought for a while, and finally found the existence of this person in his memory.
The Globe reporter who had worked together in the ruined city had also written about the journey of the wild goose earlier.
Looking through this person's previous articles, Bi Fang was surprised to find that this person seemed to have become his exclusive news reporter. Almost every live broadcast, he would post an article praising him, sometimes even many articles.
The most important thing is that the number of views of these articles is not low at all.
Perhaps it was due to big data recommendations. The more Bi Fang searched, the more news about him emerged.
There are even a few "second-rate dealers" on Island B who have become popular because they specialize in making their own videos.
Bi Fang casually clicked on another article and read it with gusto on the plane.
I did feel a little embarrassed the first time I read this kind of article bragging about my own brilliance, but after I got used to it, it actually felt pretty good.
"Today, we no longer need to prove the risk-taking gene in human nature, but we still cannot generalize an adventurous personality trait.
The key is how we view the fact that people are naturally adventurous, and how to place our adventurous spirit in the times.
It is undeniable that the spirit of adventure once promoted human progress.
Just like what Fang Shen said before every live broadcast, human ancestors broke through the shackles of primitive nature, great navigators broke through the limitations of geographical conditions, brave aviation, astronauts broke through the limits of mankind... Every adventure brings
The great changes in the human world in the past and the efforts of countless people have created a modern civilized society.
However, as times progress, the spirit of adventure is fading.
In the eyes of many people today, the positive meaning of risk-taking is not as good as the negative meaning it brings, such as blindness and radicalness.
But can blind, radical risk-taking really be called “adventure”?
Is it possible to take risks by taking action on such a cheap item when your brain is hot?
Let’s take a look at Mr. Bi Fang’s resume. He is a retired special forces soldier, one of the top ten in Hunter Academy history, has the highest level professional hunter certificate, is a true martial artist, has strong physical fitness, outstanding mental quality, rich theoretical knowledge, mathematics, geography, biology,
Highly proficient in history, astronomy, meteorology, chemistry, materials and other subjects.
Swimming, rock climbing, hunting, and trap skills are all available.
Whether it is the body or the mind, you can be called powerful. Is there a clear and essential contrast with those popular people on the Internet?
Assuming that the value of adventurous spirit can only be established when considered over a relatively long period of time, then it is bound to not have many fans.
I believe that the progress of society is the process of resisting human instinct. The more advanced it is, the more profound this resistance will be.
Mu Yong said that technology is constantly breaking through the limits of the human body, and in terms of ideology, people also tend to be instrumentally rational.
It is conceivable that in an environment of information explosion, since we have a higher ability to foresee risks, it is also human nature to find ways to avoid them.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Moreover, most people's ability to bear risks has not improved with the times, and the price they have to pay is extremely high in their imaginations. These people will inevitably become cautious and rational people.
However, human nature is complex. If people don't take risks, sometimes they will break out in a more radical way.
Many young people have experienced to varying degrees being forced to choose schools and majors they don't like, take jobs they don't like, and get married and have children in the so-called golden age.
No matter where the pressure is generated, it will always be released at a certain opportunity, prompting people to complete a bold "adventure".
Time has not changed human nature. As long as the temptation given is strong enough, human beings' adventurous instinct will always exist.
All in all, the modern spirit of adventure is no longer a kind of heroism in the face of the unknown, but has become a kind of struggle against one's own instincts.
This is undoubtedly a pity, because it means the disappearance of some wonderful things.
I am sad that I am born in this era, because the heroism in the adventurous spirit is about to disappear.
I am glad that I was born in this era, because the heroism in the adventurous spirit has not completely disappeared, and there are still Fang Shen-like characters who stick to it and inject a shot of adrenaline into my veins."
The yellow wind filled the sky and the sun was scorching.
The figures of two people and one hunchback are illuminated obliquely on the sandstone.
Two days have passed since Bifang landed on the island in South America.
"Pooh."
Accompanied by the rubbing sound of gravel, a mouthful of white saliva stuck to the stone and quickly evaporated under the influence of high temperature, leaving no trace.
Mu Jialun led a camel, glanced at Bifang's mobile phone screen, and couldn't help but spat: "Is this how they brag about you?"
Bi Fang shook his phone: "Are you envious?"
"No feeling at all."
Bi Fang did not continue to talk: "Then come here, give me the things, and you can leave."
Mu Jialun melancholy unloaded the things on the camel and placed them heavily on the ground.
In addition to the common backpack, there is also a pair of reins!
[Note: The above two are joint tasks, with a total time limit of 120 days, you can choose one or the other]
[Note: You can choose assistance for one of the tasks, only one person or one beast can be selected, and only one task is available.]
Bi Fang kept the two notes given by the system in mind. Before crossing the Sahara, he had to catch a wild camel!
