Chapter 433

After such a fuss, everyone is ready to rest. This is a camp with an altitude of 5900 meters. Because a large number of materials are carried by robot guides, the three of them actually don't spend much physical energy and have a little energy to talk and laugh.

A full moon hung in the sky, looming under the cover of clouds. Zhang Yuan breathed the cool and thin air on the top of the mountain. Suddenly, he found that he seldom remembered the world of Kunlun mountain.

This cherry blossom world... How to say, it's very good - if you're used to such a leisurely day. It is difficult for a person to completely change the whole era. There is no perfection in the world. Since he came here, he should spend his life well.

I don't know why the average life expectancy of human beings here can only reach 110 years old. There are not many life extension technologies, nor the so-called hibernation technology.

People only live once. How to spend it more meaningfully is a complex philosophical problem.

"Even how to define 'meaning' is difficult to explain."

In such a daze, Zhang Yuan fell asleep and made a uniform breathing sound.

When I woke up the next day, I saw Wang Nana's smiling face as soon as I opened my eyes. My sister, who is a few days younger than him, is always so energetic.

"Good morning!" Wang Nana said hello.

"Good morning!" Zhang Yuan responded.

It's Ma Mingtao who doesn't seem to have slept well. He is ashen and breathing oxygen through his head. His chest rose and fell, and he was almost out of breath.

"Spicy chicken!" Wang Nana laughed.

"Get out! Wait a minute, don't let me carry you! " Ma Mingtao tilted his eyes and soon passed his breath with the help of a lot of oxygen.

"If you go away, your back is also a far back! Those who can't climb the mountain are pigs! "

"Well then..."

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the family affection mode of this equal state very much. "Talk less and save some energy. I won't carry it back at that time. Call her to carry it!"

He pointed to a robot girl with green eyes.

The whole process of climbing Everest takes a total of 4 days.

Camp 1 is the physical "material supply station" before going to West Kum ice bucket and camp 2, and then go to camp 3 and camp 4.

In the past, mountaineering teams usually looked for Tibetan guides to carry materials to camp 4 at an altitude of 7950 meters.

But now it's not necessary. The robot guide has a lot of strength and carries a lot of oxygen and various thermal equipment, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of climbing.

The next West Kum ice bucket is in a "U" shape, like a large valley full of ice, which is the boundary between Everest, Luozi mountain and nubuze mountain.

Mount Qomolangma is located in the north, and straight ahead is Luozi peak, and nubuce mountain is just south. Although the West Kum ice bucket is flat, it is still in danger.

"The first is the difficult high temperature. In this highland with an altitude of more than 6000 meters, because it is blocked by the" high wall "built by ice and snow, once the sunlight on the plateau is reflected, the temperature can easily reach 37 degrees Celsius, followed by the hypoxia reaction and the risk of physical exhaustion."

"Do you know what the climbers in the past saw most here?" The robot guide is a young and lively girl who can still talk at an altitude of 7000 meters.

However, Zhang Yuan felt that he was out of breath. At this height, the oxygen content was only one third of that under normal circumstances, which was definitely a great test for his body and mind.

"What is it?" Ma Mingtao asked tremblingly, "I feel like I'm dying. I really want to go home."

"... it's a human body!" The guide explained to herself, "the climbers in the past had no strength, lacked oxygen, or encountered a sudden climate change, so they suddenly fell down and died silently. And their companions did not have enough strength to carry a corpse down the mountain, so they could only throw the corpse in the snow. "

"These bodies have become ice sculptures and will not rot for ten thousand years. So that, with the accumulation of time, more and more bodies on Mount Everest have become an ecological pollution. "

Zhang Yuan shivered all over and felt like listening to a horror story. He wiped the sweat on his face and looked around. He didn't see the so-called body.

The guide girl added: "... In the past, almost every mountaineering team climbing Everest had Sherpa guides. They were a special ethnic group in the high-altitude mountains at the south foot of Himalaya and had natural mountaineering ability. Many times, their job is to carry a body down... "

"Of course, this is for money..."

Of course, the next thing is simple. With the progress of the times, Sherpas have also lived a rich life. There is no need to work for money.

All the related bodies were cleaned up by robots. These poor explorers were buried for thousands of years and finally came back to their roots.

In the end, people even forgot the names of these explorers.

"It's not worth losing your life because of climbing. Is it to prove human courage?" This question has been lingering in Zhang Yuan's mind.

Sometimes when he is out of breath, he will feel regret like Ma Mingtao. This is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He just wants to avoid this difficulty.

There is also a related small city at the foot of the mountain. The social public support system is similar, but the culture is very different.

Mountaineering, in this city, is a belief of people.

We also met several mountaineering teams along the way. When the two sides passed by, they said hello very kindly and even asked if they needed help.

The robot guide in front gave Zhang Yuan enough sense of security. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to rely on them.

The official rush to the top began in the middle of the night. Starting from Camp 4, we began to climb the cliff on the south slope of Everest. After arriving at the 8384 meter ladder, we turned to the west side of the peak. Through here, we can launch the final climb to the south slope of the roof of the world.

Zhang Yuan felt that he was out of breath. He had to stop to take oxygen every few steps. This kind of climbing has become a kind of pain. All the mild symptoms of altitude sickness came up, vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness. He felt that he looked like Venus and might faint at any time.

If you really faint, you may lose your life directly.

This is also the most dangerous place. There are many climbers falling here.

Ma Mingtao and Wang Nana are equally ugly and terrible. Wang Nana, who has always been lively, has stopped talking for a long time, but her face is iron green and keeps her physical strength as much as possible. Although the robot guide helped her a lot, she still couldn't support it.

"Inexplicably regret it. People are really fragile and want to go home." Taking advantage of the last rest, Ma Mingtao whispered with emotion.

"Yes, once you suffer, you will regret it."

Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "then you turn back and go down the mountain. When you are comfortable, you regret not going up the mountain. This regret may last for decades or even a lifetime. "

"No, you are wrong." The girl guide said, "knowing your limits is a wise choice. If everyone had the courage to go down the mountain, the number of deaths would not be so many. The girl may have reached her limit. It's better to take some oxygen first. "
