301. The first person to climb Mount Everest without an oxygen bottle!
It was on this night that the three team leaders distributed oxygen bottles, oxygen masks, and regulators to everyone. Ren He felt strange holding the heavy oxygen bottle.
In fact, oxygen bottles are controversial in the mountaineering community. Some idealistic climbers insist that talented athletes with excellent physical fitness can climb without using oxygen bottles after going through a long period of acclimatization.
Go to the top of the mountain. Purists take this idea to its logical extreme, arguing that using oxygen is tantamount to cheating.
Therefore, some people have always believed that even if humans climb to the top of Mount Everest, it will not be considered a true summit. Until someone can climb to the top without oxygen bottles, it will be considered the real first time to conquer the mountain. And in this parallel world,
In 2007, no one has done it, at least there is no evidence that it has been done!
There was something strange in Ren He's eyes. Until now, the only thing that bothered him was the rays. He didn't feel the lack of oxygen at all...
And the longer he stayed on this mountain peak, the more he seemed to adapt to the climate here. It was only then that Ren He realized that his extraordinary physical fitness comprehensively included physical adaptability...
Someone's experiments in a decompression chamber have proven that when a human body is suddenly pulled from sea level to the top of Mount Everest, where the oxygen content is only one-third, the human body will lose consciousness within a few minutes and die soon. Therefore, every climber
It requires such a long adaptation period, and it will definitely not be like climbing a mountain in one go. No one can do it.
Ren He seems to be the only exception. His body has adapted to this low-oxygen environment!
Everyone thought they could reach the summit, but the reality was cruel. When they gathered early the next morning, the team leader suddenly discovered that two more people were feeling unwell among the more than 20 people. They did not have any bleeding or obvious symptoms.
The symptoms are just like being drunk and losing the ability to judge.
It's like that joke: a drunk man got up in the middle of the night and used the refrigerator as a toilet and asked his wife why the toilet light became smart...
It was discovered that the origin of this problem was that when the team leader was gathering, he discovered that their shoes were indistinguishable from left to right. Even when they were asked to recognize faces, they began to have trouble remembering the names of their teammates.
They were no longer fit to continue climbing to the summit and had to be escorted down the mountain by Sherpas.
There are still more oxygen bottles, but they are not provided for the team members. Those oxygen bottles will be placed by the Sherpas on the way back to the summit. Everyone will replace them with new oxygen bottles to ensure sufficient oxygen.
That is a fixed supply point.
After everything was ready, everyone set off to Camp 4 at an altitude of 7,900 meters, where they would spend another night and charge towards the top of Mount Everest!
Suddenly, the female reporter from a Chinese travel magazine quietly stuffed some sunscreen on Ren He: "I don't know if it will work, but at least it will have an effect."
This was something Ren He had never thought of preparing, so it was an unexpected surprise.
Xia Boyu's body was finally in trouble. His heavy breathing could not resist his lack of oxygen, and his shaking became more and more severe. Ren He and the others surrounded Xia Boyu, and Lei Ming whispered: "Give up.
You'll die up there."
Xia Boyu grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it on his face to suppress his trembling and said: "I'm ready to give everything for it, even if it means my life, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Ren He looked at the seemingly endless night outside the gap in the tent. He used to infect others, but this time it was others who used practical actions to tell him a truth: There is indeed something more important than life in this world.
things, beliefs.
Those beliefs are as dazzling as the sun, moon and stars in the sky.
The next day, Ren He and the others successfully arrived at Camp 4, which was an ice and snow plateau about the size of four football fields. The mountain wind blew through the V-shaped mountain pass at an unimaginable speed.
They have to rest there for 5 hours and then go directly to the summit. They are expected to reach the peak at 1 pm and have to descend before 2 pm at the latest. This is the rule for returning at 2 pm.
If you are still a certain distance from the summit of Mount Everest at 2 o'clock, even if it is only 500 meters, you have to turn back and go down the mountain.
Otherwise, you may sleep there forever and sacrifice your soul to Mount Everest.
Ren He didn't sleep at all during these five hours. Unlike others who were tired and depressed, he was more excited. When he arrived at Camp 4, he had already put on his headphones, and there was only one song playing in the headphones.
:ade.
Just like what he once said to An Si, he firmly believes that nothing can defeat him in his BGM.
Five hours later, the morning sun rose from the edge of the clouds, and the light slowly spread, which was like Ren He's burning heart.
The light shines on your face, and you begin to feel the meager warmth gradually bursting out.
Then the power that was immersed in his body began to flow in his blood. Ren He was so excited that he wanted to jump down from here and break through the clouds, breaking through the ground like a meteor with a long tail.
But he couldn't do that, at least not this time. He didn't bring any equipment.
Ren He looked up at the mountain peak above his head, that was where he was going to challenge today.
Someone once said to him in his previous life: Ren He, your destiny in this life is destined to be ordinary, just live a mediocre life.
However, things like destiny are born to be stepped on. If you don't have the strength to resist it now, then please save your own strength and wait with your greatest courage.
Ren He had been waiting for this day for half a year. He had planned to come here to conquer the roof of the world as early as half a year ago, but he had been waiting, waiting with courage.
And now, it's time for him to put his fate in his hands.
It doesn't matter whether the storm in the dream will come as promised. In fact, the most interesting thing about experiencing life and death is that it makes you understand the meaning of life.
The meaning of living is actually the things that flash across your mind when you are about to die.
Every time he experiences life and death, Ren He will love life even more. This is the fundamental meaning of risking his life to him!
When Ren He was about to set off, he suddenly discovered that the pressure gauge of the oxygen bottle behind Xia Boyu had reached a very low level, indicating that the other party was forcibly supported by oxygen on the way to Camp No. 4. With this little oxygen, Xia Boyu would not die.
Not on the road.
He smiled, took off his own oxygen bottle and put it on Xia Boyu, and Xia Boyu's discarded oxygen bottle was thrown aside by him.
Xia Boyu had no ability to resist in front of Ren He. He watched helplessly as Ren He changed his oxygen bottle. His eyes widened: "Are you willing to die? I should have died in that storm 30 years ago."
He died, but you are different, you are still young..."
"Well..." Ren He thought for two seconds and smiled: "I don't need that thing. This is my greatest respect for you. Come on, see you at the top."
After saying that, Ren He had already rushed out of the camp and sprinted towards higher areas alone. At this time, there was only one road ahead, and Ren He no longer needed a guide.
Xia Boyu shouted to the others behind him: "Stop him quickly, he gave me the oxygen bottle!"
Everyone was shocked. They looked at Ren He's blurry figure walking out in the snow and then realized that Ren He was not carrying an oxygen bottle!
Are you crazy? Theories are always just theories. How could anyone really try to climb to the top without oxygen bottles?
too crazy!
Xia Boyu stared blankly at the back of Ren He who never looked back in the wind and snow. He was so lonely...and tenacious!
He doesn't know why, but he always feels that today, the first person to climb Mount Everest without oxygen bottles may really be born. This will be the first time that humans have truly conquered Mount Everest!
