Sherpas are another name for the Bodhisattva people living in Nepal. There are no longer any cars or wheeled vehicles in this mountain because they cannot cross the river to get here.
The Kingdom of Nepal once closed its borders. With the development of the times, Nepal has slowly begun to open up to the outside world, and tens of thousands of tourists every year have become the main source of income for the Sherpa people.
They are hardworking and intelligent. The Sherpas here have long adapted to the cold and oxygen conditions here by living at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters all year round. Slowly, they began to join the mountaineering team to conquer Mount Everest.
The Sherpas who successfully conquer Mount Everest will also receive great honor in their clan society.
Some people joke that as long as you have money, Sherpas will carry you to Mount Everest. On the one hand, this praises the charm of money, and on the other hand, it also praises Sherpas as the masters of this mountain.
No, we cannot call them masters. More appropriately, they should be called the tribesmen favored by Mount Everest.
But this is all glamorous. In fact, Sherpas alone account for a full 30% of the deaths on Mount Everest!
It's not because they lack ability, but because they climb mountains too frequently. Avalanches, storms, etc. may take away their lives.
The supplies and luggage at the 6,000-meter camp were all carried up by the Sherpas. It was like a pile of professional-grade equipment as big as Ren He. If he had to carry it into the mountain on his own, even his physical strength would be exhausted.
With the increasing number of tourists, the economy here has become more and more prosperous. Many hotels have emerged, electricity has been connected, and hospitals and schools have been built. But on the other hand, the forests in the lowlands here have begun to be cut down for use.
To serve as fuel, the Sherpas also gave up many of their traditions.
No one can say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Human development is always accompanied by such troubles.
After spending a night here, Smail began to move forward with Ren He and An Si. It only took the Sherpas three days to cross Lukla to the 6,000-meter altitude base camp of Mount Everest. That was because they were adapted to the thin environment here.
Air, but outsiders can't stand it.
Ren He didn't feel anything unusual. It seemed that his strong alveoli could extract oxygen from the blood more effectively than ordinary people, and the physical fitness given to him by the Heavenly Punishment System would not put any extra burden on him. Even
Smail was a little surprised. He never expected that his financial sponsor would actually show powerful abilities beyond ordinary people.
Looking at An Si, it’s a little different. In fact, many of the riders’ training programs include plateau training. An Si has also experienced three months of plateau training. He is already much better than most people who have never been to the plateau.
.
However, with the speed of Smail and Ren He, it was still a bit too much for him.
Before he came, he was still thinking. He heard that it is not that difficult to climb Mount Everest now. An Si also thought about whether he should spend money to go up and experience it once, but the reality gave him a heavy blow.
One blow, he still lacked exercise after retiring.
An Si was shocked to find out some time ago that he already had a belly. At that time, he not only sighed, was he about to enter middle age?
Because of Ansi, everyone slowed down. Like all mountaineering teams, they only travel for a short 4 hours every day before resting. The broken flags of faith on the roadside are fluttering in the wind. They were planted by the Sherpas.
, there is a pile of stones pushed up under the flag.
The path led them through patches of larch, dwarf white zen trees, pines and rhododendrons, thundering waterfalls, charming stone gardens and trickling lava streams.
The temperature began to drop slowly, and the area covered by snow became larger and larger. By this time, Ren He and the others had realized enough: they had finally entered the range of Mount Everest!
It took a full 7 days for the three of them to finally reach the Everest camp at an altitude of 6,000 meters! Originally, they could rest for another day in the small village below, but Ren He couldn't wait any longer.
The Sherpas arranged by Smail had followed the deputy team leader and five other teammates to the camping site ten days ago. The deputy team leader was not allowed to go to Mount Everest, so he specially arranged such chores.
The reason they arrived there in advance was to allow the Sherpas to sort out a place to camp in advance, and then to open a path up the mountain in the white snow below Mount Everest.
It's like making a tiny gap in the edge of a huge snow-white cake.
When Ren He stood at the foot of Mount Everest and looked up at the majestic snow-capped mountains, it was unimaginable how cold it was on the top of the mountain and how strong the wind was. It was the most magical place in nature and was breathtaking.
At this time, the road down the mountain was still covered with a person's height of snow and had not been cleared, and Ren He still needed to go through the final stage of rest, environmental adaptation training, and psychological enlightenment here.
Even helicopters can't get up here because the air is so thin that the propellers can no longer provide enough power to the helicopter.
This place is already at the edge of the restricted area of life, and even the Sherpas would not choose to build a village here.
It was here that Ren He and the others finally reunited with the large army. Smail led them into a large tent and found that there were already 6 people sitting around in the tent. The six people were very happy after seeing Ren He and the others.
I have to make room for them. It is very lonely here, there is no mobile phone signal, and there is no TV. It is really a very happy thing to be able to meet new people.
However, what surprised Ren He and An Si was that there were two Chinese among the other five teammates!
One is named Lei Ming. At the age of 27, he is already the CEO of a domestic company with a market value of over 100 million. He is purely interested in mountain climbing and has rich experience.
Another girl named An An, who has an ordinary appearance but has quite a temperament. She is a reporter for a domestic travel magazine. She came here to write an article. All her expenses were paid by the magazine. She has already done 6,000 meters 13 times before.
They had mountain climbing experience above the altitude, so the fees they paid were actually normal. Only Ren He himself paid a high price.
The other three were Americans like Smail.
Meeting compatriots in a foreign country is a fortunate thing, but Ren He found that his teammates here seemed to have heard the deputy team leader mention him, a young man who had no experience in Ren He and was just looking for death...
Ren He didn't bother to explain anything. Since everyone thought he was incompetent, there was no point in using words to save face. He just chatted with everyone, and everyone talked about why they came to Mount Everest and what they thought before.
process and the like.
This is the so-called psychological enlightenment, which can allow everyone to climb Mount Everest with a calm mood without causing too much mood swings.
Ren He fell into a trance while chatting. He didn't know why the closer he got to Mount Everest, the more he missed Yang Xi.
It was as if he had a premonition that he might encounter misfortune on Mount Everest, so he cherished everything he had now. But after arriving here, even if he wanted to call Yang Xi, it was impossible.
In the entire camping site, only the base camp group composed of 14 Sherpas and professional mountaineering teams had a satellite phone, while Smail and his team did not.
