Chapter 376 The Challenge Continues
"Looking back at the evolution of mankind, if our ancestors did not have the adventurous and imaginative spirit, the courage to innovate and sacrifice, mankind would not have used canoes to surf the sea and explore the infinite mysteries on the other side of the ocean. Human curiosity generates the urge to adventure, and human adventure ignites the torch of civilization. Adventure is not only in the oceans and mountains, deserts and swamps of nature, but also in densely populated cities."
Three drones took off at the same time, forming a V-shaped formation and flying rapidly. Black mountains and piercing snow-capped peaks came towards them. They flew across the sky like eagles, covering everything in the camera, and looked up at the world's highest peak.
Even if he tried his best to fly, he would only stop halfway up the mountain. Bifang was standing at the foot of the mountain with a bulging backpack on his back. He was as small as an ant, but he could speak the most inspiring words in the calmest voice.
Countless audiences waiting in front of the screen shouted excitedly. This is an adventure, a great adventure of life. The ruined city is a showdown between humans under disasters, but the rally of nature is the most awe-inspiring great existence.
The wilderness is the most fascinating and thrilling impulse engraved in the DNA of the original origin of life!
At this moment, how can one not be excited by that familiar voice and beginning?
In the airport, Etienne ignored everyone's surprised looks, jumped up from his seat, made a trumpet shape with his hands, and shouted loudly: "Go! We want to reach the top!"
Elwan on the side not only did not stop it, but laughed out loud, as if he was back to the wonderful and incredible glider trip last winter.
【Wuhu! Go! 】
【Fang Shen is finally officially on air! 】
[I feel like I’ve been working a lot harder recently. Is it because my family is out of money? (dog head)]
[Although we last met last time, it’s been almost two months since I last saw the wilderness! ! ! ]
"I'm Bifang, a professional outdoor adventurer. Here, I'm going to show you how to survive in some of the most dangerous places on Earth, places where without professional skills, you wouldn't even be able to survive for a day."
"This time, I came to Nepal, the Himalayas, and will start from the foot of the world's highest peak, relying on my feet, hands and an ice axe, without any oxygen supply equipment, to climb Mount Everest without oxygen!"
Mount Everest is a word that countless people have heard and seen. When countless people hear this word, their first reaction is the world's highest peak, the difficulty of climbing, altitude sickness, severe cold, and steep cliffs.
How difficult is it to climb without oxygen?
Many people don’t know that most people have never climbed a thousand-meter-high mountain in their entire lives and experienced the feeling of lack of oxygen due to high altitudes.
They only have one concept, that is, it is very difficult, so difficult that there are only a handful of people in the world who can do it, so difficult that they have never even dreamed about whether they can do it or not, so difficult that it seems like these are two different worlds.
Is it possible?
Wang Yongbo and Yao Jun on the side suddenly laughed out loud. It was so inappropriate, yet seemed so appropriate.
The audience looked at Bifang's companions laughing, and at the same time they were angry and seemed to see themselves in the mirror. Yes, before every adventure, this question would appear in their minds, but Bifang always responded to everyone with an absolute and affirmative answer. The familiar scene reminded people of the first live broadcast of this man called Fangshen by fans.
The tall and slender figure is so small under the mountains, seemingly out of reach, but the skylight shining on it seems to be shining brightly, just like a primeval forest with endless light, and also like an impossible legendary challenge.
Climb Mount Everest without oxygen.
God Fang, can you create a miracle again?
【Go! 】
【Come on, Fang Shen! 】
[I believe in you! Climb to the top! Climb to the top! Climb to the top!]
【Climb to the top! 】
【Climb to the top! 】
【Climb to the top! 】
Hundreds of thousands of viewers posted their answers on the screen. They have only one common wish: to witness Bifang's current and future journeys with their own eyes, and to see him experience legendary adventures again and again.
They believe that Mount Everest will not be an obstacle, but just another milestone!
Bifang laughed out loud. The feeling of being trusted by others was like a car filled with gas, so hot and powerful.
Seeing the atmosphere in the live broadcast room getting lively, Bifang put his arms around Yao Jun and Wang Yongbo’s shoulders and introduced to the audience with a smile: “This time, after 6,000 meters, I will do an Alpine-style climb, that is, I will be alone. But before that, I will have a few teammates. Let me introduce to you all, the thin one is the leader who has long occupied the top spot in my live broadcast room, Prince Mu!”
"And on the other side is my 'immediate boss', Mr. Wang Yongbo. Tell me , isn't he handsome?"
After saying that, Bifang even blinked at the screen on purpose. The audiences were all experienced people, and they immediately understood what he meant when they saw the two people waving and greeting each other on the screen, and they started to flatter him.
【President Wang is so handsome! 】
[I've heard that Langya was on the decline, but it was the wise and powerful President Wang who showed up and pulled it back on track. Now it's thriving. Now I see that he is indeed a handsome man! ]
[Are you serious? ]
[Reporting to Fangshen, we have captured an honest man. We seriously suspect he is a spy sent by the enemy. We suggest that you kill him on the spot! ]
[Shocking, the top guy on the list spent a fortune just to date a famous anchor privately, and the two of them actually did this in the wild! ]
[Come to work at the company tomorrow, and I will give you triple your salary! ]
After laughing, Bifang pulled Jarrett and his photographer partner over and said, "These two are from the Discovery Channel. They were the director and photographer of the last Wild Life program. This time, they are here to help me control the camera and give everyone a better viewing experience."
Jarrett and the other man immediately nodded to the camera and said a few words to create a new atmosphere.
After introducing most of the members, it was finally time for the highlight. Bifang straightened his back and came to the last old man wearing a black felt hat. He pinched his throat and spoke in a low and magnetic English: "In the primitive and vast African savannah, there is almost no water in the dry season, just like a desert, and it can even catch fire naturally. In the rainy season, the savannah seems to be resurrected , and there are vibrant scenes everywhere."
Attenborough laughed twice, pushed Bifang, walked around him, and introduced himself: "My name is David Attenborough. If you have seen me elsewhere, I hope you like my work. I sincerely thank you for your love. I heard that many audiences in China have nicknamed me 'Sir', right?"
As he spoke, Attenborough turned around and looked at Bifang, who nodded vigorously: "Yes, perhaps many people have seen him last night, but I still want to introduce him solemnly. This is the most important guest in this mountaineering team, the famous 'Sir' whom I tried my best to bring here!"
Last night's live broadcast was hastily started, with only a few hundred thousand viewers entering the room. Today, only tens of thousands of people appeared in the room and knew about it. The vast majority of viewers did not know that the famous Sir Alex would come to climb the mountain with them, and at this moment they were almost excited to the point of blushing.
[Fuck, it's Sir! How did you get him here, Lao Fang? ]
[Climbing Mount Everest together at such an advanced age? Aren’t you afraid of hurting your back? 】
[Spring is here, and it is the mating season for animals. With the arrival of the wet season, heavy rains are pouring down on the dry earth, and all things are beginning to stir.]
[Sir, Wuhu! My idol! The idol of the generation! ]
[Fuck you, you're out of line. Those are Mr. Zhao's lines, not Sir Alex's. The ones that Fang Shen said are right, you fake fan!]
[Both chefs are delighted! Both chefs are delighted! ]
Everyone welcomed Sir Alex Ferguson's arrival. People who love nature are almost all fans of Sir Alex Ferguson. Even if they are not, they have heard of or seen this old man. The memories of their childhood and even youth came to their minds, which was a pleasant surprise.
However, a small number of people expressed concerns: Is it still possible to climb Mount Everest at such an old age?
"Don't worry, I have carefully read Sir Alex's medical report. He is very healthy. Theoretically, there is no problem at all. He can still work for at least 20 years and contribute more than 10 documentaries!"
"Ten?" Attenborough laughed. "You can't make 20 of me."
"Anyway, don't worry. It's theoretically feasible, and in practice I'll always be paying attention to it. You all have to believe in my ability!"
Everyone chatted for a while, and briefly introduced the existence and role of the guide Rob, as well as the problem of waiting for other team members.
"Because there are many people in the team who have no mountaineering experience, it will be very helpful for us to have a guide to coordinate with each other. Once the other team members arrive, we will set off immediately."
After introducing the situation, Bifang briefly shared some knowledge and related introductions with the audience.
"Mount Everest, a place once admired by people and a mountain now conquered by people, is located on the border between China and Nepal. Its northern slope is in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of my country, and its southern slope is in Nepal, which is where we are now."
"Mount Everest is 8,844.43 meters above sea level. It is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in the world. In Tibetan, 'Qomo' means goddess, and 'Langma' means the third. Because there are four other peaks near Mount Everest, Mount Everest ranks third. The second theory is derived from the story of the five long-lived goddesses circulated in the XZ region. It is said that Mount Everest is the palace where they live. As for the third theory, the coldest places on earth are the South Pole and the North Pole, but Mount Everest is also very cold. Even in summer, the highest temperature on the top of the mountain is dozens of degrees below zero. According to meteorological observations, the lowest temperature at the top of Mount Everest is minus 60 degrees Celsius, so Mount Everest is called the "third pole of the world." The above three reasons are the origins of the name of Mount Everest. You can listen to whichever you like."
After explaining the origin, Bifang pointed to Mount Everest in the sky. It seemed to be very close, but that was because it was the highest peak in the world. In fact, the actual distance to the summit is far from just 8,800 meters, but a route as long as dozens of kilometers.
The drone also flew up in cooperation, once again strengthening the presence of Mount Everest.
"The body of Mount Everest is shaped like a giant pyramid, majestic and towering into the sky. The terrain is extremely steep and the environment is very complex. It is not only majestic and grand, but also magnificent. Within a range of 20 kilometers around it, there are many peaks and mountains. Mount Everest is high and majestic, with a unique geographical environment. The lowest temperature at the peak is minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius all year round. Some places on the mountain are covered with snow all year round, and glaciers, ice slopes, and ice towers can be seen everywhere. The air on the peak is thin, and the oxygen content in the air is only one-fourth of that in the eastern plains, which is also a major problem for climbing. The towering Mount Everest has always been a holy place for humans to prove their climbing ability. Since the first successful ascent of Mount Everest by humans on May 29, 1953, many mountaineering enthusiasts from all over the world, including China, have hoped to leave footprints on the top of Mount Everest. Unfortunately, only one in ten can really succeed, and many people have become disabled or even lost their lives because of it."
"That's right." The guide Rob suddenly interrupted Bifang's introduction and said to himself, "So every year, the mountaineering team will come to the Everest Base Camp for training in February and March. First, they will go to 4,000 meters to adapt to the high altitude, then to 5,000 meters, 6,000 meters, and finally go back and forth between 7,000 meters and 8,000 meters to exercise their adaptability. When the window period appears, they will launch a charge in the few days notified by the Meteorological Bureau, so there will be traffic jams on Mount Everest. Although Mr. Bi seems to have made a lot of preparations, I still have to say that you are a little late, and you have no experience in high-altitude mountaineering before. Even if you come in February or March, it will not be enough. You need to train for at least a year."
Even though he is a commercial guide, money makes the difference, but Rob is still a professional. He has a record of climbing 8,600 meters, which means he is only 240 meters away from the summit of Mount Everest, which can be said to be just one step away. This has always been his pride and something he often brags about to his clients.
Otherwise, the consequences of accidents to those rich people are not something ordinary people can afford. Therefore, every time we take an order, we will have a very detailed understanding of the customer, from physical fitness to mountaineering experience and experience.
According to the company's information, this group of people had no experience in climbing an 8,000-meter mountain, let alone 6,000-meter mountain. Yet they still boasted that they wanted to reach the summit. This was simply ignorant and fearless.
Having survived several times in the wild, the anchors of live entertainment broadcasts dare to casually talk about reaching the summit. Do they really think it’s easy to reach Mount Everest?
If it weren't for his financial sponsor, Rob still hoped to make more money. He would never say anything that overestimated his own capabilities and might even roll his eyes on the spot.
With the commercialization of mountaineering, the difficulty has indeed been reduced a lot, and there have even been rumors of people carrying people up the mountain.
Eight thousand meters, it’s difficult to walk, how can you possibly carry someone?
If people could really be carried, there wouldn't be so many corpses lying on the road with no one to clean them up. Would the families of those rich people just watch the bodies of their husbands or sons exposed to the elements?
However, rich people do have huge advantages. They cannot carry people, but they can carry oxygen tanks. Others carry 4 oxygen tanks, but rich people can carry 40 oxygen tanks. The more guides the better, so they don't have to carry the equipment themselves, and they can even cover their bodies with hot packs.
20 Sherpa guides each bring 10 hot packs for the sponsors... tie a life lock in the middle of the group, as they have money... do whatever is comfortable. After taking various medicines, the physical strength is in place, and the climbing is over.
A host with good physical fitness starts training half a year in advance, adapts to the environment at an altitude of 8,000 meters, does not do any fancy anaerobic exercises, spends a lot of money, and with a little better luck, he may really have a chance to reach the summit.
But right now, haha.
This anchor is so stupid.
