When Bi Fang and Yao Jun arrived at the jungle gym, they heard huge noises, like cheers and cheers.
When I asked someone to come over, I found out that someone was competing in a rock climbing competition.
Since it is a wilderness club, the purpose of building a rainforest pavilion is not only to enter the rainforest environment and see common rainforest animals.
There are also many unique structures here, such as rock climbing walls.
Before the construction of the climbing wall at the Wilderness Club, the world's tallest climbing wall was located in Nevada, the side wall of the Whitney Peak Hotel. It was 164 feet high, about 50 meters.
The most common colored pedals are used. When climbers reach the top, they can overlook the panoramic view of Nevada and even see the snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountains in the distance.
It costs ten pounds each time to go up.
The reason why I mentioned it before is that the rock climbing wall built by the club is higher, reaching an astonishing fifty-six meters.
Because the height is too high, the entire rock climbing wall has been broken into the jungle pavilion and is completely open to the air.
This is also to simulate the wind and rain in the real environment. If required, mechanical watering can also be carried out to simulate a humid environment.
There are no colorful pedals on it, but a simulated rock wall. Of course, there are traces of human work on the rock wall to make it easier to find a foothold.
You need to pay RMB 100 for each use, but if you can climb to the top in one go, you can get it for free.
Those who sign up for training also receive a free trial, but it cannot be said to be free because the registration fee itself includes the use of equipment.
Rock climbing is a very physically demanding thing, especially if you perform non-stop climbing activities. Coupled with the special environment, ordinary people cannot do much, but it is not difficult to practice a few times.
As a result, this rock climbing wall quickly gained a reputation in the industry.
People come here to challenge every day, and people often come here to compete.
Bi Fang and Yao Jun caught up today. It is said that the two young people were betting to see who could reach the top first. It was not clear what the bet was.
Then a large group of people started booing underneath, and now both of them were halfway up.
Looking at the obviously darker rock wall, you can tell that they have also turned on the death mode and poured water on the rock wall in advance.
Bi Fang originally planned to take a quick look and leave, but before he could turn around, a shout from the crowd exposed him to everyone's gaze.
"Fang Shen!"
"Damn it, Fang Shen, where are you?"
"Back there, under that tree!"
"Grass is alive!"
Yao Jun quietly took two steps back and raised his hands: "It seems you have to find a way to escape."
Although Bi Fang's Wilderness Club is a wilderness in name, since the aquarium has moved here and merged, it is obviously not that simple.
A racecourse will be added later.
I heard from Yao Jun that there is also a zoo that is interested in moving here recently, but it is only a preliminary intention and the location has not been decided yet.
But even so, it is evident.
The government seems to be interested in turning this area into a natural recreation area.
So it is unrealistic to say that everyone here is a fan of Bifang and knows Bifang, but it is pure nonsense to say that he will not be recognized when he is walking in the public eye.
Among the ten people, at least six people can recognize Bifang at a glance, three people will think he looks familiar, and the only remaining one may be face-blind.
The crowd surged in, and the two young men who originally bet on rock climbing quickly became uninterested.
The original sound of cheering suddenly disappeared, and I felt like I had lost all the energy to climb.
The ground trembled slightly, and Bi Fang's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
The current situation is comparable to the wildebeest migration in Africa during the dry season. It makes people really afraid that they will be pushed to the Tianshan Mountains in the next second.
"Finally saw a living one!"
“I feel even more handsome than the one on the live broadcast, but I didn’t turn on the beauty function!”
"Why is Fang Shen a man with such good skin? What brand of cosmetics do you use?"
"The muscles are so hard."
"Don't touch me, you bitch, let me go!"
In less than ten seconds, Bi Fang felt that he was overwhelmed by the crowd, and then he could feel some hands randomly touching something.
It was still not easy to break free, and the crowd was cheering, asking Bifang to teach them rock climbing.
Many people here come to watch the fun and don’t know how to rock climb, so it’s understandable to ask for this.
Bi Fang felt the enthusiasm of the crowd and felt that the signatures alone could not offset it, so he could only agree without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, but I'm really busy."
Bifang was pushed by everyone and came to the rock wall. As for the two young people just now, they didn't know where they were going. Maybe they knew that Bifang was coming, and they didn't want to be embarrassed, so they had to run away in advance.
In fact, when Bifang came to the bottom of the rock wall, there were already many people pulling down the locks and sliding down, leaving the entire rock wall empty.
It feels like driving a Rolls-Royce on the road and the Mazda in front of you automatically avoids it.
"Okay, do you have any questions to ask?"
Bi Fang buckled the safety buckle and put on his gloves without any thought of getting bigger.
This is not that Bi Fang is not confident in his own strength, but that he is not confident in the strength of others.
You must take safety measures when rock climbing here.
If Bi Fang relies on his strong strength and does not fasten the safety rope this time, what should he do if someone follows suit next time?
It would be fine if this happened in someone else's house. Just pretend to be cool and leave a legend in the world. But of course you have to take responsibility for your own business.
"Me me me!"
"Fang Shen, you did a good job grabbing the spot, but you just can't exert the force to make the next move?"
"Fang Shen, look at me! Let's take a photo together!"
In the barrage, it was basically Lao Fang, Boss Fang, and Fang Shen who rarely heard of it, but in reality, more and more people called Fang Shen.
"Which brand of skin care products does Fang Shen use? Can you recommend it?"
"I don't use makeup and exercise more, and you can be like me." Bi Fang smiled, "But we'd better ask questions related to rock climbing."
"Fang Shen, why sometimes I need a dynamic flying kick, but my hand falls off before my leg can fly?"
"I find that I like climbing straight walls more and more, and I can't do the movements on the inclined wall anymore."
"If these are the problems, then it may be that your finger strength may have become your bottleneck in rock climbing."
Bi Fang listened to the question and gave a brief answer carefully.
Those who can ask questions are not all novices, they are all people who know some basic knowledge, but there is still a long way to go before becoming professional.
"Watching other people in the rock gym doing cool and relaxed movements, I feel like this line is easy, but when I go up the wall I find that I can't do any moves."
"Many times we think that others have sophisticated skills, but in fact they have no power. Just like a weak country cannot talk about diplomacy. If you can't grasp the point, no matter how good the technology is, you won't be able to use it."
"Finger strength is definitely an important factor in whether we can advance in rock climbing, and it is also a key to getting started."
After putting on the equipment, Bi Fang jumped lightly and clung to the wall like a gecko. He spoke without breathing at all and crawled left and right with extreme flexibility.
With muscle control and balance control, Bi Fang feels that rock climbing is almost the same as walking freely on the ground.
"What is finger power?"
"It goes without saying that, as the name suggests, finger strength is the strength of finger muscles!"
"No!" Bi Fang stopped everyone's literal speculation, "Finger strength is not the finger muscle strength in the literal sense. The fingers have no muscles. The movement of our fingers relies on the 17 muscles of the palm and the 18 muscles of the arm.
Muscles are connected to the fingers by tendons."
Bi Fang freed one hand, took off his glove, flexed his fingers, and pressed the muscles on it.
"You can press and hold the same place to feel it and you will understand."
"The flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus muscles on your arms are the main muscles that help you bend your fingers. Therefore, at the end of each rock climbing, it is obvious that your fingers are exerting force, but you will feel that your arms are the most tired."
"When we grasp, the force exerted by the thumb is completely different. The thumb itself has 8 different muscles to control the movement at different angles. When we grasp and exert force, the lumbrical muscles and interosseous muscles are
We hold the key to the move.”
Bi Fang turned around and held a rock with his back to the rock wall, but his whole body was firmly pressed against the rock wall without any instability.
The crowd below screamed in surprise.
"Though you don't look at a muscle, it's just a lump of meat. The muscle fibers inside are all different. The muscle fibers are united and twisted together to form a rope. When we tense up, our muscles begin to exert force."
"Some muscle fibers have better endurance, but less strength. They are called slow-twitch muscles."
"On the other hand, some muscle fibers are very powerful but fatigue quickly, which are fast-twitch muscles. Within each muscle are distributed muscle fibers of various qualities, ranging from the best for strength to the best for endurance."
"When it comes to increasing muscle strength, it actually means increasing the strength of each muscle fiber. If you exercise slow-twitch muscles, your endurance will be better, and exercising fast-twitch muscles will make you stronger."
"Then if I train all slow-twitch muscles into fast-twitch muscles, will I become a powerhouse?"
Someone asked a question in the crowd.
Bi Fang shook his head: "Unfortunately, the ratio of muscle fibers in each muscle of each person has been determined since birth. Fast-twitch muscles and slow-twitch muscles will not transform into each other due to training, so everyone's potential
It’s also different.”
"Some people's tendon connection points are further away from the joints, which naturally results in greater strength. The moment arms of their muscles are longer, because torque = force * moment arm."
"You may never be Alex Honnold, but you can be a better version of yourself."
There were more and more people gathering around, and the more Bi Fang talked, the more his heart sank.
With so many people, can you really go out after you finish speaking?
But now, Bi Fang can only bite the bullet and continue.
"When you do an action, not all muscle fibers are involved. If you don't need to do an action with all your strength, then your most powerful fast-twitch muscles are just watching."
"And when you exert all your strength to suck milk, even though you can no longer hold on, your slow-twitch muscles haven't started to feel good yet, and your brain will intelligently control to use only the minimum number of muscle fibers to complete the action.
"
"The tension in the muscle fibers of each movement ranges from the slowest slow-twitch muscles to the fastest fast-twitch muscles."
"This is also why bouldering improves strength faster than climbing the route. When climbing the route, even though you are so tired that you can't even grasp the big points, you actually don't use your powerful fast-twitch muscles.
"
Yao Jun yawned under the tree.
Compared to Bifang, he is much less well-known. Although he is often called a profiteer and reviled, not many people really know what he looks like.
Nine p.m.
Yao Jun, who was watching dramas in the office, received a call from Bi Fang.
"Where are the people, come here quickly, I'm out!"
"Ha, it's out? It's earlier than I thought."
"Hurry up, I'm exhausted. This thing is more tiring than live streaming."
"Hahaha, come right away."
It was already half past nine when Bi Fang saw the Gambia rat.
Dozens of mice live together, and the scene is quite spectacular. Especially these mice, each one is as big as a kitten, and they look even more exaggerated, as if they have arrived in some strange country.
Seeing Bi Fang and Yao Jun coming over, these rats were not afraid of strangers at all. When they saw Bi Fang spreading his palms to reveal pieces of bread, more than half of the rats gathered around them, scrambling to grab the food and stuffing their cheeks with it.
It's full and bulging, and it looks like a squirrel.
Bi Fang explained to Yao Jun while feeding and returning the food.
"This kind of rat is larger than ordinary rats and has a more sensitive sense of smell. At the earliest, the Venezuelan military cultivated several qualified demining rats through artificial breeding and selective breeding, so that the rats could smell the
The smell of gunpowder is used to determine whether there are hidden mines, and the reward is only a piece of banana."
"An efficient demining rat can detect tens of thousands of square meters of land in one day."
Yao Jun shrugged: "Anyway, I'm not interested in mice. It's your money that I spent. I don't care. What are you going to do? Take them all back? Or pick two? Keep the others here?"
"Pick two, and keep the rest here so they can interact with tourists."
Bi Fang looked carefully and finally focused on a Gambian rat lying in front of a glass display case.
Behind the glass is a venomous snake curled up and hanging upside down on a branch.
The two sides faced off for a long time, and the venomous snake suddenly reached out to attack, but ended up hitting the glass with its head, making a muffled sound.
What is surprising is that the Gambia rat behind the glass showed no sign of being frightened at all. It even just moved its body slightly, and then moved closer to observe it carefully.
"That's it."
Bi Fang's interest greatly increased and he set his goal.
After living for a long time, animals are not surprised to be aware of the existence of glass, but after the poisonous snake on the other side of the glass attacks, they are not afraid at all.
In this case, people may be frightened, let alone a mouse, which shows that it is not only smart, but also very courageous.
This is what Bi Fang needs.
It was too easy to encounter dangerous situations in the wilderness, and he didn't want a Gambia rat that would be so frightened and run away like crazy when it encountered danger that it could never be found afterwards.
"There are really more and more animals in the house."
