Chapter 231 How big can the gap between people be?

Looking at the majestic North Col ice wall in front of him, Qian Zhen tried his best to stop his body from shaking. Then he took a deep breath and began to think about what Xiao Ning had just said.

"Oxygen reduction?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

"Oh."

"Junior Brother Xiao probably means that the more oxygen I breathe, the lighter the oxygen tank I carry will be, and the less weight he will bear."

Thinking of this, Qian Zhen's eyes lit up.

"So I can be useful too?"

Although whenever other people talk about Qian Zhen's trip to Mount Everest, he is actually just playing a "burden" role, he will always refute it in various ways to prove his sense of existence.

But in fact, Qian Zhen knew from the beginning to the end that he was going to reach the summit of Mount Everest. In essence, he had no other sense of existence except to increase the difficulty for Xiao Ning.

There is no such thing as bravely climbing Mount Everest, it's just that Xiao Ning helps him carry the weight forward.

So after Qian Zhen thought clearly that he might be able to reduce Xiao Ning's weight by inhaling oxygen, he felt really happy.

It is a feeling that after you have thought that you are a waste in the garbage dump, you suddenly discover that there is a saying called "waste reuse" in the world.

However, Qian Zhen did not remain happy for long.

He figured it out quickly.

Although the oxygen in the oxygen bottle does occupy a certain amount of weight, even if he kept breathing oxygen at all times during the whole process of climbing the North Col ice wall to reach Camp [-], the weight of the actual oxygen consumed was actually not enough for Xiao who was climbing with weight. Ning Lai, in fact, it can be almost completely ignored.

Taking a few more breaths of oxygen can indeed reduce Xiao Ning's burden, but it doesn't completely reduce it. It helps a little, but it doesn't seem to help.

After realizing the reality, Qian Zhen was very hurt.

At this moment.

All the members of the mountaineering team are ready and have begun to charge towards the North Col ice wall.

Because the climbing plan of the mountaineering team is to climb along the established route that has fixed the road rope, in most of the actual climbing process, in addition to holding the road rope with both hands and moving up with the feet, Besides, they don't require any additional operations.

But even so, climbing from the bottom to the top of the North Col ice wall is definitely not an easy task.

In this combination of extreme altitude, extreme slope and extreme terrain, every forward and upward movement of a climber requires several times the physical energy required in other climbing environments.

The climbing process not only tests the climber's physical strength, but also tests the climber's mind.

Even though the straight-line climbing distance of the entire North Col ice wall is not long, in fact, even experienced climbers often need at least four hours to climb to the top.

The road is not long, but it is indeed difficult to walk.

With the Red Bull, the entire mountaineering team began to move upward.

In this team that is constantly moving slowly upward, someone will stop panting from time to time, getting as close as possible to the direction of the ice wall where the road rope is located, and holding on to the road rope with both hands.

Although the mountaineering team is tied up with safety straps in groups of several people, and the safety belts they carry are always locked on the road ropes, if a hand or foot slips in such a place, these things may not be [-]% safe. lives, and may even cause horrific consequences for one or more people in his group to fall due to his own mistakes.

For the sake of safety, when the Red Bull team made the climbing plan for this section, they did not make any time requirements.

It is also because of this that some people are able to have time to breathe, although this may delay the time to climb to the top of the ice wall.

In addition to people taking breaks from time to time, another phenomenon that had never happened before began to appear frequently in the entire mountaineering team.

Yes.

Including those who had never used oxygen when they set off from the advance camp to the bottom of the North Col ice wall, most of the people who were struggling up the North Col ice wall at this time had almost begun to use oxygen to assist themselves. of climbing.

Although the altitude at which we are at this time is still less than 7000 meters, after all, the altitude of the "steep slope" made of ice and snow on the North Col Ice Wall rises much faster than the previous sections.

If a person who usually does not have altitude sickness slowly rises from a relatively low altitude to a relatively high altitude, he will most likely not develop altitude sickness, because his body has enough time to adapt during the slow rise in altitude. A condition in which oxygen content decreases as altitude increases.

But if the same person who does not usually have high altitude sickness rises very quickly from a relatively low altitude to a relatively high altitude, then because the altitude rises so quickly, his body will not have time to adapt to the hypoxia caused by this rise in altitude. , in this case, even if he is a professionally trained climber, he is very likely to suffer from hypoxic symptoms such as high blood pressure.

And the occurrence of symptoms such as high reflex in a place like the North Col Ice Wall that can almost be called a "precipice" is basically a catastrophic accident.

It is precisely to avoid this situation that even though the altitude increase at this time is still extremely limited, most people still start to use oxygen, and among these people who use oxygen to assist climbing, they even include the four people in the team Personnel in professional mountaineering teams.

As the captain of this four-person professional mountaineering team, and as a professional climber who has successfully climbed Mount Everest many times, Yin Feng learned the word "awe" early in the face of the natural power of Mount Everest.

He can still tell whether talking to people means saving face or life.

Although even he himself believed that his physical function and experience were enough to support him in climbing the North Col ice wall without using oxygen, if something unexpected happened, there really was no such thing as "regret" in this world. "Options.

Climbing without oxygen is indeed a manifestation of "honor" and "ability" for some climbers, but Yin Feng has never cared about such frivolous things.

What's more, since the Red Bull company also pays these "foreign aids" so much money to go up with aerobic climbing, and it's still the same amount of money to go up without oxygen, then why not choose aerobic climbing that is safer and more comfortable?
So Yin Feng was already using oxygen from the moment he started sprinting towards the North Col ice wall.

He does it, and so does everyone else.

But not everyone does.

In this mountaineering team of more than ten people, even after nearly half of the journey on the North Col ice wall, Xiao Ning still had not taken a breath of oxygen - even though he could take a breath of oxygen from Qian Zhen's backpack at any time. oxygen device.

Although the entire Red Bull team had already known in advance that Xiao Ning would climb without oxygen, after actually witnessing the scene of this figure silently heading upwards to the top of the ice wall without using oxygen while carrying a person on his back, he felt in his heart Still can't calm down.

He is really too strong and ridiculous.

So much so that even though it happened in front of everyone's eyes, no one could fully believe it.

After setting off from the advance camp, Xiao Ning's position in the queue has not been high.

However, after starting to climb the North Col ice wall, he took the initiative to walk at the front of the team. At this time, he had even left behind the people behind him by a much larger than normal distance.

The person behind him happened to be Yin Feng, the captain of the professional four-person mountaineering team.

Although I never stopped for a moment, I showed extremely high professionalism during the climb on the North Col ice wall.

But Yin Feng was shocked to find that even if he kept moving upward at a constant speed without rest, the distance between him and Xiao Ning would still gradually widen.

The reason for this situation is definitely not because he climbed too slowly while maintaining a constant speed, but...

"He's always accelerating..."

"He accelerated his climb up the North Col ice wall at an altitude of nearly 7000 meters..." "He was carrying someone on his back."

"No oxygen."

After realizing all this, Yin Feng's original shock gradually shattered.

He smacked his tongue secretly: "I thought this guy's trip to Mount Everest would be a documentary, but now it seems..."

"This is like a sci-fi movie!"

He watched helplessly as the figure carrying a person on his back got further and further away from him.

Under the goggles blocked by the snow, Yin Feng's eyes even began to become numb.

At this time, Xiao Ning's position was only half way from the top of the North Col ice wall.

Austria Red Bull is opened in the official live broadcast rooms of various live broadcast platforms.

Although the viewers who watched the live broadcast could not be there in person, the visually impactful scenes transmitted back from the scene did make many people feel the same emotions as Yin Feng.

"Ning Shen is too exaggerated."

"It's so scary that I'm direct!"

"He is so strong that he is like a superman!"

"You have to be cautious when walking on the North Col ice wall, as if you were walking on thin ice. You have to think carefully about your strength when you take a step up... You're going to have to do some foot racing on this ice wall, right?"

"Report it! This person is cheating!"

"To put it bluntly, everyone is climbing the same mountain right now!"

"I am also a mountaineering enthusiast. From a technical point of view, in fact, from the entire process of Ningshen climbing the North Col ice wall so far, I don't think his skills are that great, they are just average, but... His physical fitness is too exaggerated! He climbed up with a person on his back at this altitude and this terrain! He didn’t even get any oxygen! Is this the physical fitness that humans should have? "

"Isn't the most important thing that I haven't seen Ning Shen panting in any of the shots so far? He's so strong! Ning Shen is so strong!"

"So how strong is Ning Shen?"

"You don't need to know mountain climbing, nor do you need to understand the difficulty of the North Col ice wall. You just need to know that professional climbers need to use their minds to face the sections. Rest assured that they can take a leisurely stroll while carrying someone on their back. That’s it!”

"..."

Various barrages are being refreshed crazily in the live broadcast room.

Xiao Ning's accelerating upward motion on the North Col ice wall showed no signs of slowing down.

The biting cold wind blowing from the side blew across his face, making him feel more awake than ever before.

Underneath this kind of sobriety is the absolute sense of freedom that I have experienced more than once in various extreme sports.

For Xiao Ning, this sense of absolute freedom is actually understood by him as absolute control over his life.

Just do whatever you want to do, and do whatever you want to do.

Absolute mastery of one's own body, absolute confidence in climbing the North Col ice wall and climbing upwards. In this state of absolutely controlling one's body to accomplish what one wants to do, the word "freedom" is as if it has been materialized. Xiao Ning held it tightly in his hands.

Although during this period of climbing, Xiao Ning did not experience the "sense of near-death" that often accompanies extreme sports, his sense of accomplishment did not diminish at all.

In the system learning simulation space, he climbed many mountains with exaggerated altitudes.

But in reality, he has never climbed anything that could be called a "mountain."

The North Col Ice Wall, which he had visited many times in the system space, was also his first time in reality.

Xiao Ning never thought about conquering the North Col ice wall or Mount Everest.

After all, it is not very smart to say that you have conquered a place after you have been there.

But having been here in reality, reaching such a height, and successfully reaching the final peak is indeed what Xiao Ning desires.

I have been here, I have witnessed it, and I have seen scenery that most people have never seen.

The cold wind is still biting, and the sound of hiking boots and crampons on the snow and ice continues to sound.

Although there is still a seemingly endless ice wall ahead, what Xiao Ning cares about at this moment is the warm sunshine shining on the road ahead.

Although at this altitude and with extremely cold temperatures, the sun would not warm people but would only make them feel cold, he still felt like he was about to bloom.

Xiao Ning was somewhat eager to stand on the top of the North Col ice wall, the top of the North Col ice wall from Camp No. [-], to overlook everything below the mountain.

In his opinion, this should be the most relaxing way for him among all the journey today.

Unconsciously, he, who was already climbing faster, sped up again.

For Xiao Ning, accelerating is just to appreciate the spectacular scenery of Mount Everest below 7000 meters above sea level more quickly.

But for others, the speed of the already fast figure at this time was a bit frustrating.

"Why is he so fast again?"

"Brother Ning, you must be on drugs! You're carrying someone on your back!"

"I have to move the ascender to go up one meter, but he moves the ascender with him? Is it so reckless to grab the road rope with bare hands?"

"What a pervert!"

“Are we really climbing the same mountain?”

"..."

All the mountaineers at the scene were in extremely complicated moods at this time.

They were walking uphill at a critical moment... The animal in front felt like it was about to run!

The key point is that they are still carrying a person and are not using oxygen!

This gap is too big!
Rao was Yin Feng, the one with the most mountaineering experience and the most technical skills in the entire team. Seeing himself being pushed further and further away, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "The gap between people is really bigger than that between humans and animals." The gap must be even bigger!”
