? At an altitude of 8,000 meters or more, human intelligence may be reduced to the level of a 6-year-old child due to high hypoxia.

Cerebral and pulmonary edema can be fatal within 36 hours.

Here, it is very enjoyable to drink a cup of hot tea. But don't think about how high the temperature is. Even in Lhasa, which is 3,500 meters above sea level, the boiling point of water is less than 80 degrees Celsius.

The number of people climbing today seems to be much less than yesterday. This is the benefit of adopting plan one, avoiding camping at the windy vent at around 7,500 meters, and saving a day compared to others.

But this requires more physical strength for everyone.

The weather is very bad, the wind speed is very strong, and there is heavy snow in the wind. There is no difference between ice blowing on the face and sand hitting the face.

Chen Ergou took off his mask and said to the camera: "My friends, I will arrive at the assault camp today. I will continue to climb the peak without oxygen. This is my choice."

"The history of humans using oxygen to climb Mount Everest began in 1922. That was the British team on the north side of Mount Everest, reaching an altitude of 8,320 meters. Seven Sherpas were killed in an avalanche, which was also the first official death record on Mount Everest. Their The use of oxygen by team members Finch and Bruce proves that oxygen plays a vital role in human climbing at ultra-high altitudes."

"But at the time, there was still a lot of debate about the use of oxygen. They didn't think it was necessary to carry oxygen, and they made a lot of fun with oxygen equipment. Many people objected to the use of oxygen on moral grounds. They compared the use of oxygen to Considered a 'damn heresy'."

"Even today, the two-sided attitude towards the use of oxygen persists in subsequent expeditions to Mount Everest. There are also doubts about the nature of using oxygen to climb Everest or other peaks higher than 8,000 meters."

"I'm not opposed to the use of oxygen, but I prefer to think that people have to rely on their own ability to challenge mountains."

This is the first time that someone has climbed to the summit of Mount Everest live, and it may also be the first time that a Chinese has climbed to the summit without oxygen.

As Chen Ergou climbed higher and higher, more and more people began to pay attention to his summit process.

"The ice cliff below Mount Everest at an altitude of 8,000 meters is called the [Death Zone]. The corpses of dreamers scattered on Mount Everest are unspoken proof."

"In this high-altitude area, the digestive function of the human body has almost stopped, and the body will automatically consume its own muscle and fat tissue for energy.

After coming here, doing everything is very strenuous, and doing everything will become very slow, just lying down and standing up will cause panting. "

"No one has ever survived five days in the dead zone, and even with bottled oxygen the human body is still hungry for more. Everyone is trying to stay on the ice shelf, and only the safety lines put up by the Sherpas can prevent them from falling down the mountain."

On the way to the summit, the dead body is a signpost.

When he encountered the first one, he specifically looked at the altimeter, which showed 8,200 meters. The red down jacket is the same color as his down jacket, "it looks like a warning sign for the route."

"It seems that he or she has reached the peak and is on the way back. It's a pity that he passed away." The raised hand seemed to be complaining to God, and it seemed to be shouting to his teammates , "Don't leave me behind."

"The Nepalese government will regularly go up to clean up the remains on the mountain, collect the remains and bury them together. Some remains are too high to be transported down the mountain, or they can be seen but cannot be disposed of under the cracked cliffs, so they can only be left there. , and became a signpost for the people who came after.”

Chen Ergou gasped and stopped, and Apa asked behind him: "?" He followed Chen Ergou all the time, even though Chen Ergou never asked him for help.

"I am fine, thank you!"

After a short break, he turned to the camera and said: "'At this altitude, people cannot be strict with moral size'. This is what Jon Krakauer, author of "Into Thin Air" said. Mountaineering It’s just a magic mirror that can clearly illuminate everyone. In such an environment, people’s personalities will be magnified, and selfishness, desire, impetuousness can be observed..."

"I hope I don't become like this."

The altitude is only 500 meters, but it is too difficult to get there.

"Hey, is anyone here? Is anyone here? Ahhh, is it getting dark?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout on the radio, which startled everyone.

"Hoo hoo..."

Chen Ergou connected the walkie-talkie: "Old Chen, you are behind, I can't see you, are you okay?"

His familiar questioning voice was reassuring. The team leader when everyone asked him to attack the summit was because of their trust in him. Although he does not need this kind of trust, he still performs his duties very well.

"I can't see, am I blind?"

Chen Yazhou's voice was full of uneasiness and anxiety, and the team channel fell silent instantly.

"...I can't see, my eyes can't see."

"Don't walk around..." Duoji's voice came to his ears. He was the assistant assigned to Chen Yazhou. When Chen Ergou heard something wrong, he immediately turned around and walked back. Huang Cong said, "I'll go with you!"

Chen Ergou denied: "Lao Huang, you stay and continue to lead the team forward, Lao Chu, you come back with me!"

Chu Nan Gu Yue's physical strength was not very good either, so she hesitated for a while when she heard this, but she resolutely turned back together.

"Sit on the ground and don't move."

Chen Ergou's roar spread through the headset.

"His zombie is sane."

Dorje was a little at a loss.

"Duoji, grab him and don't let him move around."

Everyone was very worried, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also startled, paying close attention to the development of the situation.

Someone once went blind suddenly after successfully climbing Mount Everest. His companions and rescuers tried to help him go down the mountain, but three Sherpa guides rushed over to help him, but after a full 4 hours, they barely walked 60 meters, and the rescuers managed to reach an altitude of 8,600 meters with him. That's still a "dead zone".

You must know that the place above 8,000 meters on Mount Everest is described by climbers as a "dead zone". Due to lack of oxygen, most climbers must do their best to ensure that they can go down the mountain alive, let alone take care of other people.

In the end, his body can only be left alone on Mount Everest, where he will be buried forever.

When Chen Ergou rushed over first, he found that Duoji was sitting on the ground with Chen Yazhou, his fingers kept shaking in front of his eyes, but Chen Yazhou really didn't notice it like a blind man, with white foam flowing out from the corner of his mouth. It's all frozen.

"what happened?"

Dorje said: "I followed him and found that he seemed to have lost his sense of direction suddenly. He started to stagger and stumbled a few times. Then he started yelling like crazy, saying that he couldn't see, and then he seemed to be unconscious. !"

Chu Nan Gu Yue opened his eyelids to look, and found that his eyeballs were filled with blood, and his face was full of ferocious expressions. He looked like a zombie, but it surprised the audience, "Can't you see anything?"

"……"no answer.

"Give him more oxygen!" Chen Ergou pinched his middle acupoints vigorously and massaged several acupoints on his brain. Chu Nan Guyue took out the emergency injection and gave him an injection. Everyone has been busy for a long time, and Chen Yazhou's eyeballs finally began to look a little brighter.

This small recovery is enough to make everyone excited. The studio was also ebullient.

But the danger is clearly not over.

"Old Chen, can you see something?"

It's okay to keep asking questions, only to get a little response.

Perhaps because he sensed someone approaching, Chen Yazhou gradually calmed down, but he was very uneasy, "...I can only see a little outline, and the circles are shaking. Am I blind?"

Chu Nan Gu Yue had a sad face, and said, "Fortunately, it's only temporary blindness. Have you ever had such an illness before?"

Chen Yazhou's thinking seemed to change very slowly. After asking several times in a row, he gradually came to his senses and said, "Have...been..."

Chu Nan Guyue didn't force him to answer, and said: "We must send him down the mountain. His brain reaction is very slow now, and he may have cerebral edema. It happened to him before, but he has never lost his sight suddenly in a high mountain environment. Now he is deprived of oxygen in the high mountains, he is half conscious, and the blindness is not caused by snow blindness, because he does not feel any pain."

Chen Ergou groaned, and let Apa, who had the most experience, stay behind. With Duoji and two other Sherpa mountaineering guides, they helped Chen Yazhou start to turn back to the C2 camp, and at the same time let the rescue team act.

"There is a spare oxygen cylinder in the lower mouth, and the oxygen should not be interrupted."

"OK, I can't help you any more, Chen, you have to be careful yourself." Apa stayed behind, hugged and bid farewell to Chen Ergou, and began to turn back.

This is the only way. Sending one more Sherpa is unfair to others.

Chen Ergou has done his best, but he sent his guide out, which made the audience in the live broadcast room feel uneasy.

"Hope nothing happens again!"

The mountaineering is still going on, with Chen Ergou around, even if Chu Nan Guyue is exhausted halfway, he can carry him up.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived.

The weather was so bad that the sound of the strong wind could not be heard, and the only way to talk to each other was to roar.

Huang Cong came over with an anxious expression on his face, "The weather is too bad, if this continues, there is no way to attack the summit!"

"I figured the weather would improve after the sun went down, as it always does. What about the others?"

"There are the South African team, the British team, the US team, and the Australian team. They are all waiting. There are too many people, and the road on the mountain can only be passed by one person. It is too bad."

Chen Ergou ignored his anxiety, and quickly made a decision, "They wait, we wait too!"

After speaking, he led Lao Chu into the tent, and the wind noise immediately subsided a lot.

The assault camp is set on the exposed rocky slope at about 8,300 meters.

Chen Ergou drank a few sips of water to feel better, and said to the camera: "My friends, the original plan was to go to bed immediately, but it was impossible."

"At such a high altitude, it is difficult for anyone to fall asleep. Even with drugs, they can only sleep for two or three hours. If all goes well, the time to reach the summit will be tonight!"

"I want to eat something, and then try to rest for a while. I will not turn off the live broadcast, see you tonight!"

After speaking, he gnawed on the Snickers bar.

Since we may have to go to the summit in the early morning, we can't sleep for a long time, so we can only take a nap in the tent for a while.

However, the news that Chen Ergou will "take the summit tonight" has spread all over the Internet, and I don't know how many people's hearts are touched. There have been more people paying attention these days, but they definitely don't want to miss the moment of reaching the summit, and luckily it was at night.

Mr. Li asked for one day off, so there is no reason to ask for another day off. She worked very hard today and finished filming her part early. Li Zhongli felt that she was in good condition, and planned to work overtime to film a few night scenes.

"ah……"

Li Shishi was dumbfounded and self-defeating, "Director, I...I have something to do tonight."

Li Zhongli rolled his eyes straight, "What could be the matter, I play with my tablet every day when filming, pretending that I don't know. Forget it, tonight should be the day when Xiao Chen reaches the top."

"Yes, yes, director, you watch the live broadcast too."

"Look at that, I'm busy all day long, how can I find the time to watch the live broadcast?"

After being scolded, Li Shishi didn't feel much, it was better than having to work overtime for night scenes. After finally running out, I found that Muyi Xiaomi was already holding the phone and waiting there, "It's just your ink marks, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I didn't see Xiaoxin, I'll look for it."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxin was still dawdling, "Xiaoxin, you haven't removed your makeup yet, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon!" Lin Xiaoxin took off his braids and rushed out with a bald head. At the door, he was stopped by someone, "Xiaoxin, where are you going, are you having dinner together?"

"Oh, Brother Long, we are playing games. We have an appointment to go to an Internet cafe tonight. Do you want to go?"

"Playing games, Shishi also plays games?"

"Senior sister is playing bubble hall, let's not talk, I'm urging again, I'm leaving. If you want to come, just go to the Internet cafe at the hotel and find me."

When they couldn't wait to enter the private room of the Internet cafe, and opened the live broadcast room while eating takeout, they found that it had completely turned into a doomsday scene.
