Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 414 Acquaintance

After struggling to reach Camp No. 1, Bi Fang spewed cold mist, squinted his eyes and stared at the sun, then rolled up his sleeves to check the time, and let out a haha.

"Eleven thirty-seven, not bad, we didn't miss lunch."

Starting at two o'clock in the morning, it took nearly ten hours to reach Camp No. 1. The entire Khumbu Glacier seems to rise only a few hundred meters above sea level, but the actual distance is more than 14 kilometers. It is a veritable "long-distance trek" .

Among them, there are countless large and small cracks across the domain. Just the aluminum ladder Bifang has passed 17, and now it has finally reached the No. 1 camp.

Standing on this huge platform, the view is very good. Bi Fang expanded his lungs and took a deep breath. Although the air here is fresh, it will never be comfortable to breathe, because the oxygen content you can absorb is too low.

Standing at the entrance of the camp, Bi Fang can be said to be able to see the "high" mountains at a glance. At this time, his altitude is only 6,000 meters, but the height of the surrounding mountains is almost over 8,000 meters.

Holding the unflyable drone, Bi Fang shook his trekking pole and pointed to the distance.

"The weather is good today, the mountain fog is not very heavy, we can see clearly, from left to right, there are four peaks above 8,000 meters, Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu. Above the clouds The peak of the mountain is Mount Everest, the gray area below the mountain is the huge Gozumba Glacier, and the white area below is the frozen Gokyo Third Lake.”

The mountain was so majestic that the audience was at a loss for words, holding back for a long time, and could only make dense grotesques in the live broadcast room to express their shock.

"There are only fourteen peaks on the entire earth that are higher than 8,000 meters above sea level, ten of them are in the Himalayas, and the other four are in the Karakoram Mountains."

[Himalaya is still a card face]

[Ten, but aren't there many hills next to it? Doesn't that count? 】

Many spectators saw the Cho Oyu peak that Bi Fang was referring to, the shortest of the four peaks, but on top of it, there were more than four peaks that were higher than it.

Bi Fang shook his head: "Those are Weifeng or Fengqian peaks, generally speaking, they don't count. In geography, the highest mountain in a mountain range is the main peak; a solitary mountain is an independent mountain; The ones that are relatively close, in the form of a "guard", are Weifeng and Fengqianfeng, and those that are higher than Cho Oyu are just the Weifengs of other peaks, although they are also over 8,000 meters, they are not included in it."

"Of course, what I said just now was not accurate. The accurate description should be a group of peaks with a height exceeding 8,000 meters above sea level. In fact, there are more than 14 peaks with a height above 8,000 meters above sea level on the earth. 8,000-meter Weifeng."

As the name suggests, a peak group is a "collection" of an independent mountain and all its satellite peaks... The concept of the main peak is easy to understand. For example, Mount Everest is the main peak of the Himalayas.

But what is "lonely"? How can there be a "solitary" mountain in the vast mountains such as the Himalayas? How close is "relatively close"? …These concepts are qualitative rather than quantitative, and the definition is not clear, which makes the "identity" certification standards for 8,000-meter-level peaks very unclear.

[Then where did this standard come from? 】

The audience was surprised, where did the unified statement of 14 seats come from?

"That's because in the more than 100 years since the rise of mountaineering, these high mountains have only been systematically measured by the British military surveying and mapping team, so their statement about the '14' was preconceived, and later it was unanimously recognized by mountaineers.

Mountaineers have also concluded based on practical experience that these '14' are actually the highest peaks in the 14 8,000-meter-level peak groups, that is, independent peaks. Around independent peaks, even if the altitude exceeds 8,000 meters, they are also Weifeng. "

[Is Lao Fang also a mountaineer now (dog head)]

Bi Fang was happy, and he didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either: "After I reach the summit of Mount Everest alone without oxygen, you can call me that."

Although I have no specific achievements in mountaineering, just reaching the summit of Mount Everest without oxygen can give Bi Fang a place in the mountaineering world, not to mention climbing the summit alone without oxygen, with double buffs, the entire Mount Everest summit There are no more than two hands with such achievements in history.

If this isn't a mountaineer, most of the climbers who claim to be are suicides of shame.

Awesome!

The audience didn't understand so many twists and turns, but they only had this one thought in their hearts at the moment.

[Climbing alone is an invincible way, so why borrow an oxygen bottle. 】

[I was the first one who refused to agree to Mr. Ma's withdrawal from the literary world. 】

[There is one more identity verification, I wonder if anyone can count how many identities Lao Fang has? 】

[Mathematicians, chemists, physicists, biologists, mountaineers, and adventurers will be added later]

[architect, aviator, astronomer (dog head)]

"They all understand a little bit, and you can't call it a family name. You don't want to kill them." Bi Fang waved his hand, making the audience laugh.

Bi Fang did not stay too much at the entrance of the camp, and he planned to continue climbing after finishing up at the No. 1 camp.

"I will repair here, replenish my energy, restore my strength, and then continue to climb. After passing the Khumbu Glacier, the danger of the next section of the road will be much lower. We only need to go up 400 meters. We arrived at Camp No. 2 directly, and the distance is about five kilometers, but the danger is much less than that of the Khumbu Glacier, and because of this, we don’t need to pursue midnight departure.”

Entering the No. 1 base camp at this time, the audience can clearly see that the corner in the southeast direction has been completely submerged in snow, and there are a few colorful tents on the far side, which are also affected by the avalanche.

At this time, there were still people staying there, mourning for their dead companions, and packing up their things to go back.

This is undoubtedly a gloomy atmosphere. Coming here, not only did not realize the dream, but lost his life because of it.

According to the sign on the tent, Bi Fang came to the resident tent originally prepared by the guide company.

As a formal guide company, there are not only Rob alone, but many guides. These people need a foothold when they come to the base camp. The company will naturally prepare the camp and supplies every quarter, and because of the strong wind on Mount Everest, almost every year. To be refurbished.

Opening the curtain, a gust of hot air rushed in, and the temperature inside the tent was much higher than outside.

"The weather is really good today. It is warm in the tent, but the wind is a bit strong. Now we need to add as much water as possible, and then eat something. I will take a nap later, about an hour and a half , use a complete sleep cycle to refresh your energy."

At this time, there was no one in the tent, but some supplies were left behind. Bi Fang unpacked the fuel, then lit the stove with a lighter, and prepared to cook something to eat.

Unexpectedly, there was a burst of shouting outside the tent at this time.

"Is Mr. Bi in there?"
