Live Singled Out Wilderness

Chapter 198: The Coldest City In The World

After deciding on the live broadcast location of the next episode, Lin Bei began to make preparations. The Siberian ice sheet is far more dangerous than the Amazon rainforest.

When winter comes, in the hinterland of Siberia, in an area 350 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle, the daytime temperature has never been higher than minus 45 degrees Celsius. As for the temperature at night, it is not too easy to reach minus 60 degrees.

Surviving there is more difficult than the Alaskan ice sheet. To be honest, in the cold night of more than minus 60 degrees, without a bonfire, Lin Bei would probably freeze to death. Environment aside, there are plenty of top predators out there.

Especially for Siberian tigers, winter is when they are the hungriest. They need to eat every day to store fat to resist the severe cold of minus 45 degrees. You know, hungry Siberian tigers often attack hibernating brown bears in winter. Every year, hibernating brown bears die in the mouths of Siberian tigers.

With Lin Bei's current attributes, he has no problem fighting a jaguar head-on, but he doesn't even have 10% confidence in fighting a Siberian tiger head-on.

The Siberian tiger is known as the most powerful cat, and it's not out of the top 100. Its size alone is not weaker than the Asian brown bear. The point is, the Siberian tiger has flexible limbs and is very powerful. They can stand up on their hind legs like cats and slap their front paws continuously, which is something that lions cannot do.

Many people think that feline slaps are not strong, but that is not the case. It's just that when cats prey, they lock their throats directly and seldom use clapping, which is why people have this illusion. The bite force of the Siberian tiger is only slightly worse than that of the jaguar, but it also has 1100 pounds, and its front paws can reach 1200 kilograms!

Moreover, the effective killing depth of the Siberian tiger's claws is 11 centimeters, which is equivalent to the length of Lin Bei's dagger. Being slapped by its front paws is equivalent to being slashed across the body by several 11 cm daggers.

Don't look at the documentary, when tigers prey on large animals, their claws seem to have no lethality. Everything needs to be compared. Compared with humans, no matter which attribute of bison is higher than humans, especially the endurance attribute, at least 40 points or more, so it seems that the tiger claws are not very strong. If the shot (cbeg) hits someone, you don't have to think about it to know what the ending will be.

Just looking at pictures and videos, you can't feel the violent power. Only when the Siberian tiger stands in front of you, will you truly feel the terror that exists at the top of the food chain.

However, due to the sharp decline in the number of wild Siberian tigers, there are less than 500 in the entire Far East of Siberia, so the chance of encountering them is very small. What Lin Bei needs to focus on is how to resist the extreme cold. The deep cold blood can only increase the resistance to cold, but cannot prevent the body from being injured by cold. You must know that when a person is subjected to low temperature, there is a critical point. At minus 60 degrees, although people will not be frozen to death immediately, if they are in the wilderness for a long time, their lungs and respiratory tract are likely to be frostbitten.

All day long, Lin Bei was trying to plan a survival route. The preparations must be done well. If something goes wrong, Lin Bei's life will be in danger. It's not a joke, it's a real death

Cold nights in Siberia are nothing like the Arctic Circle in Alaska. There, Lin Bei digs a snow cave casually, and can barely make do for a night. But at night in Siberia, shelter is not enough, there must be a bonfire, otherwise he will really be frozen to death.

The next day, Lin Bei took all the materials to the Russian embassy. Russia is not like Brazil, buying the United States' account. Even though Lin Bei has a journalism B1 visa, he still has to wait for three days.

During the waiting period, Lin Bei purchased some targeted equipment, mainly cold-proof clothes. It is no exaggeration to say that in the hinterland of the Far East of Siberia, it only takes a few minutes to stand still in the wild, and people will freeze to death.

Thick gloves, cotton socks, snow boots, scarves, thermal underwear, etc., according to the list, Lin Bei buys all the ones with the best thermal performance. At this time, he didn't dare to save money.

The coldest time of the year in Siberia is in January, so Lin Bei must hurry up. Three days later, Lin Bei got the visa and rushed to Yakutsk by plane non-stop

Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world. It is located in the hinterland of the Far East of Siberia, only 451 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle. Lin Bei's survival route this time is to use a helicopter to send himself to the ice field 320 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle.

Then go all the way to the south, the southern part of Siberia is close to Mongolia, and the temperature will be slightly higher. Of course, the main reason why Lin Bei chose the south as his survival route was because the Trans-Siberian Railway passed there. His idea is to leave this ice field by train.

As for why you send yourself 320 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle instead of 300 kilometers, there is a reason for this. Don't underestimate the 20 kilometers

The tree line in Siberia is exactly in the 320 km zone. Once beyond this area, continue to the Arctic Circle, and there will be no more trees along the way.

While there, Lin Bei had to keep a bonfire in the cold night. Therefore, he chose the location near the tree line of 320 kilometers.

Walking out of the airport, the biting cold wind immediately made Lin Bei shiver. On the ground, there is a thick layer of solid ice. The entire city of Yakutsk is built on permafrost. Therefore, no matter what buildings are here, keep a distance of one meter from the ground. If they are built directly on the permafrost, the high temperature in the house will melt the permafrost, and the house will easily collapse.

You may not believe it, there are no taxis at Yakutsk Airport during the three months from November to January. Not only at the airport, but in the whole city, few cars can be seen. The extreme low temperature will cause the tires to shatter while driving, coupled with the extremely slippery icy ground, resulting in winter in this city, few people will choose to drive at all.

The temperature in Yakutsk during the day is not too low, but the temperature has reached minus 35 degrees Celsius. Lin Bei could even hear the sound of the white air he exhaled turned into ice slag in an instant.

Even with thick gloves on, he still felt numb from the cold in his fingers. Such a low temperature will force people to keep moving, otherwise they will lose consciousness in their hands and feet soon. With his backpack on, Lin Bei walked quickly towards the city center without any hesitation.

After the whole person started exercising, he immediately felt much more comfortable. The blood flows, transports heat to all parts of the body, and re-warms the hands and feet. .
