Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Chapter 425 [Mountains that birds cannot cross]

"The gritty and unfettered nomadic life that emerges behind the mystical and alluring adventures is an antidote to our natural comfort and ease. It heralds a response to aging, the frailty of others, the responsibility of relationships, the The youthful rejection of all kinds of weaknesses and the slow and tedious process of life." Jon Krakauer, who narrowly escaped the famous Everest disaster in 1996, wrote in "Into Thin Air" wrote.

Indeed, the spirit of adventure and action are the strongest driving force for human beings to move forward, and Mount Everest is undoubtedly the pinnacle symbol in the field of alpine exploration.

For tourists, the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters is already their terminal. However, for the members of the mountaineering team, reaching the 6,500-meter advanced camp is their starting point.

"The road is getting steeper and steeper, and the feet are full of debris and ice walls... There are also huge ice crevasses everywhere!"

Chen Ergou's expression is quite relaxed, and he talks to the camera from time to time, "The base camp is the height that cars can reach, and the forward camp is the height that yaks can reach. For climbers, the North Col is just the beginning of the test. Therefore, mountaineering When athletes reach 6,500 meters, they have to forget the height ahead of them, and climb up completely by themselves without the help of yaks. From this place, they may suffer from altitude sickness at any time.”

The natural environment in the Everest area is extremely complex. The solid ice and snow above 5,000 meters above sea level do not melt all year round. There are countless ice and snow steep slopes and rocky cliffs. Ice avalanches, avalanches, and rolling rocks occur from time to time.

He randomly kicked a pile of gravel, and a large piece of gravel would roll down, "Be careful——"

He hurriedly shouted, and the team members behind him hurriedly avoided.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched with trepidation. This place is obviously different from other high mountains.

Before that, Chen Ergou climbed three peaks for three consecutive days, but they didn't experience too much difficulty. But when I came here, I immediately felt the difficulties and dangers of the Mount Everest area.

The weather is erratic and the wind is extremely bad. Except for the base camp, there is a cold wind all over the sky. Even in the better climbing season, there are almost seven or eight high-altitude winds blowing almost every day.

On the "mountain that no bird can pass over", no other living thing can be seen.

There are many peaks near Mount Everest. The peaks above 8,000 meters are Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. There are dozens of peaks above 7,000 meters, forming the most concentrated area of ​​peaks in the world.

Looking up, there is a sea of ​​snow-capped peaks forming mountains.

Clouds and mist billow overhead, huge glaciers developed from thousands of years of snow, icy lakes and rivers are scattered among the forest of ice towers... The sun is strong at noon, and when the strong sunlight shines down, it immediately presents a cloud of steaming clouds, various poses and different poses, gorgeous and colorful The scenery constitutes a rare ice peak world.

The proudly independent Mount Everest is dominating the peaks. Even if it is more than a hundred kilometers away, it can still travel through the long distance of space and time, and its huge pyramid-shaped mountain can be seen with both eyes.

After reaching a distance of nearly 6,000 meters, his altitude sickness finally became apparent.

Due to altitude sickness and excessive physical exertion, Chen Ergou also began to feel a little uncomfortable.

The situation in the team was also not good, and Sunny fell behind. Although he also serves as the chairman of the Mountaineering Association, his job is the president of a bank, and his long-term pampered life has made him lose his mountaineering physique long ago.

Climbing up this time showed a lack of physical strength. Stepping on the gravel, he staggered and almost fell.

We are far apart, and we are unable to help others, so we can only shout for concern from a distance. After all, climbing to the top of Mount Everest is not something that can be supported by others, and you still have to rely on yourself in the end. Chen Ergou had the best physical strength, so he immediately turned back to help him.

"Old Qing, what are you carrying, why is it so heavy!"

Panting on a sunny day, I opened the backpack and found that it was the last 2kg of the extra bottles of Feitian Moutai in the backpack.

Become the last straw that crushes his physical strength.

He reluctantly took out two bottles of wine, "Xiao Chen, can you recite it for me, I'll give you a bottle of wine."

Chen Ergou originally wanted to decline, but he glanced at the production date of Moutai, which was in 1980, and immediately accepted it with a smile, "No problem!"

"Watch your feet, if you hurt your toe it can be serious."

"I'll keep an eye out, thanks."

From the base camp to the forward camp, the straight-line distance is 15 kilometers, and the traveling distance is about 28 kilometers.

There is no need for technical equipment such as mountain boots, crampons, and ice axes throughout the whole process. This is also the longest journey on Mount Everest. It takes two days to arrive at the advance camp, and in the middle, they need to rest for one night at the transition camp at 5,800 meters. Not only is the climbing time sufficient, but it can also save energy.

Here is also known as the cold midway station, or the middle camp, at the southward inflection point of the East Rongbuk Glacier, at an altitude of 5,800 meters.

A small low tent came into view of the audience.

"Reached?"

"It's a world of ice and snow."

"The wind is really strong, and there is snow and fog blowing... Master Dog, please take a good rest."

Chen Ergou put down his backpack and explained: "Friends, this is just a transition camp, not an advance camp. The altitude is 5,800 meters. I will camp here tonight and rest for a night, and continue to rush to the advance camp tomorrow morning..."

This camp is equipped with alpine chefs, large-scale teams are equipped with gas stoves, can cook water for cooking, and can still eat vegetables and meat transported from the base camp. The source of drinking water is ice-cut water and alpine melt water.

Since most climbing members only stay here for one night, most of the accommodation is in small tents, and there are few big ones. A night of bivouac after departing from base camp here can be excruciating with altitude sickness.

Chen Ergou started to build the tent, and let the audience see once again how easy his "cocoon" tent is to operate. Just find a flat bottom, level the gravel underneath, take out the tent, and just press a button, it will automatically start to inflate and expand the tent.

After a few minutes, the beautiful wilderness house has been successfully built! The others were so tired that they sat down to rest, and before they could unload the packages, he had already started to boil water.

"Old Chu, do you have any wound medicine? Cough..."

Hearing Qin Feiyu's cough from afar, everyone looked at him worriedly.

Chu Nan Gu Yue hurried over and auscultated his pulse, "Old Qin, you have a cold, I'll prescribe some medicine for you."

"Thank you. I have bleeding blisters on my feet. Is there any white medicine, just apply it."

"Come into my tent." Chen Ergou greeted.

Neither of them refused. Qin Feiyu had bleeding blisters on his feet because of the inappropriate shoes, and because the team was in a hurry, his high counters were a bit bad, and he was a little dizzy and nauseous when he arrived here. Wang Jing has a brother's water bag, but after going up the mountain, he found that it was all frozen and he couldn't drink it, and he caught a cold because of the underwear that didn't absorb sweat.

Chen Ergou was tossed by dozens of pieces of coal, and it took 20 minutes to heat a pot of hot water. It doesn't matter if the time is slow, he won't starve to death, and finally, when the sun goes down, he has a delicious meal of beef soup, fried steak, and vegetable salad!

When everyone smelled the fragrance, they finally felt cheerful.

In the dim light, more than a dozen people gathered in a circle to enjoy the delicious alpine food together. Take out the Feitian Moutai and pour out a few small quilts, just to warm the stomach.

"Delicious! Good workmanship!" Wang Shi ate his mouth and raised his thumbs up to praise, "Lao Qing's Moutai is also good, if I knew you had two bottles hidden, I wouldn't have let you bring them here easily .”

Qing Tian smiled and said, "You are the one who is on guard!"

Others did not hesitate to praise, Huang Cong sighed: "As expected of a food adventure show, the same ingredients, made by your hands, are a hundred times more delicious than the chefs here. I am only worried, eating what you made After eating, you will lose your appetite if you eat anything else.”

"Do you want me to be a chef all the time? You have a good idea!" Chen Ergou punctured his dream without giving any face.

Everyone laughed.

She still wanted to drink on a sunny day, but was dissuaded by Chu Nan Gu Yue, "Don't drink alcohol, remember to take your medicine before going to bed."

Although he was greedy for drinking, he didn't dare to disobey the doctor's orders at the moment, so he put down the glass very regrettably. After eating a piece of oily fried steak, he was so hot that he breathed hard, and hurriedly said: "You really deserve your reputation, Xiao Chen, you can open a restaurant with your skills, and the business is guaranteed to explode!"

Chen Ergou just smiled, "I won't compete with others for business. I haven't learned how to cook yet, so it's enough to satisfy my own stomach."

The cold wind is more intense at night. As I have been competing with the mountains for the past few days, I am exhausted, and I am always on guard against danger, but at this moment, I can take a rest in a warm tent. This feeling is very serene, very relaxed, and has a sense of tranquility amidst the noise.
