Chapter 244: Shocking the Sherpas! (Diao Democratic League Title 2)
I hadn't heard the prompt sound of the system task for a long time, and when Du Xiaosheng heard that the mission level was an SS-level death mission, his movements froze, and his face became ugly.
The so-called ice-climbing terrain [level 7] difficulty, which represents the highest level of ice climbing difficulty in the world, Chogori Peak, as the world's highest mortality rate of 8,000 meters of glacier, is it the same as the difficulty level of alpine climbing in the Himalayas!
The weather is not good, the climb is very difficult, and the ice is extremely hard and brittle......
This is a forbidden area for mankind, a holy place for death.
"If you want to climb Chogori Peak, you have to have a fairly comprehensive technical support. Without the Alpine Collaboration to build the road for me, this journey would have been too dangerous. ”
"Look," Du Xiaosheng pointed the camera at the ice surface where the ice axe hit.
"The ice walls here are very hard and brittle, and I judge that these ice walls are close to the hardness of iron because they have been repeatedly squeezed by the ice and snow cover all year round, and the influence of low temperatures!"
"The most feared thing about ice climbing is this perverted ice surface. I need more strength to hit the ice, and the tiger's mouth will soon become numb from the tremors, and the strength of my arms will be depleted very quickly! ”
"The damn thing is, this ice is really, this ice is so brittle! When I knock on the ice, I have to be very cautious, as long as I don't pay attention to it, the ice will break, and I will be finished without protection. Du Xiaosheng said as he subconsciously lowered his head to look at his feet.
Below is an abyss more than 7,000 meters deep, and even if you fall down, even Superman will not survive!
Do you really want to climb freely in such an extreme environment?
Because of nervousness, Du Xiaosheng's breathing accelerated, and he began to be a little out of breath.
SS-class, for him now, belongs to the death-level mission.
He needed to calm down, the dizziness caused by the lack of oxygen made him feel weak for the first time after upgrading to the third level!
"The third-level perfect human physique, it seems a little unsightly here?" He thought silently in his mind.
Facing Qiao Geli Peak, Du Xiaosheng had the idea of continuing to become stronger for the first time.
The altitude here is already 7450 meters above sea level, the air is thin as if it can choke people's necks, Du Xiaosheng has not taken oxygen until now, and the normal mountaineering team has already begun to breathe oxygen at an altitude of 6000 meters.
Hypoxia at altitude is very terrible, it will make the patient dizzy, headache, tinnitus, dizziness, weakness of limbs, with the aggravation of hypoxia, hypoxia patients are prone to confusion, the whole body skin, lips, nails are bruised, blood pressure drops, pupils dilated, coma; In severe cases, it may even lead to difficulty breathing, cardiac arrest, and death due to hypoxia suffocation.
Even with sufficient oxygen, the 8,000-meter snowy peak is still very dangerous to climb, and if the above symptoms of hypoxia occur, the chance of death will be greatly increased.
However, he is not yet able to receive oxygen because he only has two oxygen cylinders, and once he uses it now, although the hypoxia symptoms can be relieved immediately, the consequence is that he needs to be constantly supplemented.
He tried to calm himself down, and only by getting rid of distracting thoughts could he reduce his oxygen consumption.
As the minutes ticked by, the sun had begun to rise, and the golden sunlight shone through the clouds on Chogori's peak, staining the transparent ice walls with a layer of gold.
Breathe – Breathe –
Emptying his mind, he began to imagine his soul traveling through the universe, a meditation method to dispel distractions, and to imagine that the light of the heavens and stars corresponded to his acupuncture points.
Du Xiaosheng lowered his head at this time, and millions of viewers followed the first-view camera on Du Xiaosheng's helmet and looked towards the abyss below the mountain.
"No, I'm a little dizzy."
"It's so cold here, it's really a thousand mountains and birds! The eight-thousand-meter snow-capped peak is too lonely. ”
"I don't feel safe at all, I'm so scared. The anchor still goes back! No one will laugh at you. ”
"Don't be reckless, take the Sherpas with you! There is no shame in commercial mountaineering teams! What's more, you're not a commercial mountaineering team, even the king of the world's mountaineering will bring Sherpa snow mountain guides! ”
"In the past, I always looked down on Wang Shi to climb the Himalayas, but now when I see the ice wall of this dead zone, I feel that as long as I have the courage to face such a desperate situation, my heart is extremely strong!"
"Look at the anchor's bare skin, so red, isn't this hypoxia?"
"That's right! The anchor has not taken oxygen yet. ”
……
Du Xiaosheng didn't interact with the fans, he closed his eyes, and probably didn't move for about ten minutes, and some fans even began to worry about Du Xiaosheng.
I'm afraid that the anchor will pass out like this.
However, Du Xiaosheng did not.
Du Xiaosheng, who got rid of distractions, finally turned back into the wild survival expert who was calm, breathed steadily, and pursued the limit.
In his virtual world, there is an all-round coach who always guides Du Xiaosheng's behavior.
The only thing he lacked was a companion.
Alone in the face of the ice cliff.
What a great force this is!
Du Xiaosheng moved, he first put the protective sound on his body with a figure-eight knot, and then fastened the seat belt and rope. After doing all this quickly, he stretched out his left hand and swung his ice axe.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Du Xiaosheng waved an ice axe with his left hand, and the nail of the crampons with his right foot kicked against the wall.
Du Xiaosheng uses military-grade cassette alpine boots customized by the General Administration of Sports of China, and the full-card crampons kick the front teeth of the crampons into the ice wall, so that he can stand on the ice wall.
Stable left and right hand bow, Du Xiaosheng's crawling is extremely regular, the ice axe wheel out to hit the ice, Du Xiaosheng said: "When ice climbing, I have a trick, when piercing the ice axe into the ice, don't use too much force, and don't shake the ice axe, because this will break the ice surface and affect its stability." ”
"When kicking, use force to keep the crampon tips firmly into the ice. Whether or not crampons can be firmly tied to the ice surface is related to the stability of the body and the quality of climbing! As he spoke, kicking the ice a few times, he continued:
"Climbing such an ice wall, my good Sherpa friend Tenzin taught me a secret, and that is to grasp the protrusions of the rock with your hands, huh!" Du Xiaosheng snorted, reached out and grabbed a bulge that poked out of the ice, and climbed a few more steps up.
Finding a place where the ice surface was very thick, Du Xiaosheng patted the ice surface and said to the audience: "I want to shoot three ice picks here." In the unlikely event that I fall off the top, there are three ice picks attached to my safety rope so that I don't fall to the bottom. ”
Du Xiaosheng's choice of icicle screw-in point is perfect, there are no cracks and no bubbles on the ice surface here.
According to the instructions of the all-round coach, Du Xiaosheng rotated the three ice picks at a distance of about half a meter, and then connected them with the main lock on the flat belt or auxiliary rope, and adjusted the flat belt or auxiliary rope to make the three ice picks stressed at the same time, and the angle should be as small as possible, and the maximum should not exceed 60 degrees. Finally, check all the locked doors, all of them are locked.
Just when Du Xiaosheng was doing a good job of life support and marching towards the ice wall.
A bunch of people climbed up a few hundred meters behind him, one of whom was a Sherpa who exclaimed in surprise when he saw Du Xiaosheng's skillful ice climbing:
"What a skilful way to kick forward with both feet! This person's ice climbing skills are so comprehensive! Look at his rhythm! It's obviously fixed at three points and moved at one point! But his movements are perfectly articulated, and it seems... It looks like a gecko! That's amazing! ”
