Rolling up the snow, howling unbridled, it seems that it will swallow everything anytime and anywhere!

The night on Mount Everest is chaotic.
The wind and snow are endless.
The cold and hard rock has no emotion at all and cannot be moved by anyone.
Taking off his wind and snow goggles, Lu Yu took a few breaths and smiled with a stiff mouth: "6500, I think it's not bad."
"I just feel an obvious burning sensation in my throat when breathing. This is normal and there is no need to worry. I will camp here later, rest for a while, replenish some energy, and replace some equipment."
The height of 6,000 meters is really nothing to Lu Yu.
But looking at the snow and wind covering the live broadcast screen, the audience had a personal experience of the cruel environment at high altitude for the first time:
"It looks so scary!"
"It scares me to death! More than 6,500 meters?"
"This man actually climbed 6,500 meters?"
"Damn, you're really awesome!"
"66666, too strong!"
…
Before this, no one, whether from private mountaineering organizations or official mountaineers, had climbed to this height!
Not just Everest.
Even other snow-capped mountains are the same.
It can be said that this young man is the first climber to stand at an altitude of nearly 7,000 meters!
This situation and scene instantly wiped away all the doubts on the Internet!
Professionals from all walks of life felt incredible and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in their hearts!
Call it impossible!
However, this scene is before our eyes.
Believe it or not, it has become an indisputable fact.
Anaerobic 6500!
Already very strong!
In a previous life, the Chinese mountaineering team was denied climbing Mount Everest because they left no images.
Today, under the gaze of the whole world, Lu Yu stands at a height beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Not only did it leave an image, but it was also broadcast live around the world!
After chatting for a while, Lu Yu put down his backpack, took out his mountain tent, used an ice ax to cut open the ground, inserted tent pegs, and set it up.
Pitch the tent.
He picked up the camp lantern, braved the wind and snow, and got in.
Although there is a safe haven, the violent wind is still howling.
The tent was crumbling due to the blow, and it looked like it would be destroyed at any moment.
Hiding in the tent, Lu Yu laid out a moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag, then immediately took out a portable cassette stove and related cooking utensils, grabbed a handful of snow and put it in a small pot:
"The hot water will help my throat feel better."
Taking off his hat and goggles, he unzipped his one-piece down jacket, sniffed his nose, and said with a red face: "In order to avoid hypothermia, I have to change to a new set of quick-drying underwear. Because the temperature is too low. The effect of quick-drying clothes has been greatly reduced. It would be very dangerous to continue wearing wet clothes.”
"I once gave everyone a popular science talk about hypothermia outdoors, also called hypothermia."
"But this does not mean that it only occurs in cold climates. In fact, hypothermia begins to threaten climbers when it is below 20 degrees Celsius. According to the accident report of the North American Mountaineering Association, 0 to 10 degrees Celsius is the limit for hypothermia. "High incidence area."
Taking off his one-piece down jacket, Lu Yu unbuttoned his flight suit and put on a brand new set of underwear for himself.
"On the plateau, moisture and wind are the biggest killers."
"As the freezing point approaches, we are easily paralyzed by the ambient temperature, and will unconsciously make ourselves sweat profusely. At this time, wet underwear will increase the conduction speed of body heat, which is almost 5 times that of dry underwear, which is very The horror!”
"In addition, the wind-chill effect and humidity will also aggravate the loss of body temperature. Once symptoms of hypothermia occur, the consequences will be disastrous. You will be knocked down in half an hour at most, so you must pay attention."
As he spoke, the snow turned into water and gradually began to boil.
But the temperature is not high, and I'm afraid the eggs won't even be cooked.
After drinking some water, Lu Yu took out some good beef jerky and milk clams and ate a few pieces.
Regain lost heat as much as possible.
Outside the tent, the sky was dark, the wind was blowing, and the sound was loud.
The situation inside was not much better, the temperature was pitifully low.
After resting for about 20 minutes, Lu Yu put on his flight suit and one-piece down jacket and came outside.
Braving the wind and snow, he folded up his tent and replaced his usual ice and snow equipment.
Afterwards, we left the 6500 advanced camp and headed towards the North Col ice wall along the ridge.
The height difference of the North Col ice wall is about 400 meters.
Just turn over and you will reach 7028.
The straight-line distance between the ice wall and the advancing camp is really not that long.
Its difficulty lies in the slope and the iron-hard glaciers.
If it is an ordinary commercial summit activity, it will take at least nearly 4 hours to conquer it.
The difficulty can be imagined.
As they walked forward, Lu Yu's breathing became more and more rapid.
The cold climate and oxygen-free environment forcibly slowed down his pace.
The ridges are almost entirely covered with vast tracts of ice.
Hard and steep.
It's a little difficult to walk.
In the picture, the ice wall not far ahead looks like a white and wrinkled curtain, blowing in the wind in the dark night, whistling...
"call--!"
"call--!"
"call--!"
Yanjing, National Mountaineering Team.
on the big screen in the lounge.
The sight of Lu Yu walking alone on the snow-capped mountains silenced everyone.
The sound of heavy breathing became particularly clear in the room where a pin drop could be heard.
All the team members, with excited hearts and complex expressions, were all watching this man's every move.
There were three people sitting at the very back of the lounge.
In addition to captain Wang Yongfeng, there is also Xia Changtian, the old leader of the national climbing team.
Mr. Xia was the first captain of the Chinese Mountaineering Team.
An older generation of mountaineers, absolute heavyweights.
He has devoted his whole life to China's mountaineering career and worked hard.
Although he is over sixty years old, his mental state is still very good.
At this moment, Mr. Xia was sitting upright, with light in his eyes.
Staring at the big screen, he muttered to Wang Yongfeng intently: "This young man is not simple..."
"Whether it is physical fitness or mountaineering skills, they have surpassed the world-class level. It is really unbelievable."
Seeing this, Wang Yongfeng echoed: "If we continue to maintain this state, 8000 should not be a big problem."
"8000?"
"Um."
Xia Changtian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It's possible, it's really possible, there's definitely a chance!"
"I have seen his route to the summit, and it is very well planned. 8000 is indeed no problem, but there are still some necessary conditions for reaching the summit, what do you think?"
Wang Yongfeng asked.
Xia Changtian glanced at him and shook his head: "The climate on the peak is changing rapidly, and it is really difficult to climb to the top. Not to mention the altitude of 8,000 meters, there are many external environmental factors that are enough to make people tired of dealing with them. To get to the top, luck must be greater than strength.”
Then, he changed the topic again:
"However, I am lucky enough to see someone challenge Mount Everest in my lifetime. Even if I do not reach the summit, this is definitely the greatest step that the mountaineering world has ever taken!"
…
After crossing the long and vast ice field, Lu Yu finally reached the bottom of the ice wall before 22:30.
This is the real danger on the way to the top!
What is natural insurance?
The natural danger is that the altitude difference is the vertical limit of more than 300 meters!
The thin air zone nearly 7,000 meters high!
There are also ice and avalanches that may completely bury you at any time!
That's right.
