Chapter 600: Climbing a Mountain Is Harder than Climbing to the Sky!

Ten thousand miles of mountains is just a quantifier. Google search reading

The peaks are stacked, more than ten thousand miles long and wide, and more than ten thousand miles in front and behind.

Relying on human power, it is difficult to measure how many peaks there are in a lifetime.

Not to mention that after winter, its area will double again.

From the direction of the depression, go all the way to the southeast.

After walking 400 kilometers, you can reach the entrance to the mountain, a peak about two thousand meters high.

This peak is marked on the map as: Shishan.

It means that the first mountain you encounter when walking from the depression to the mountain is also the nearest mountain!

Without the terrifying infrastructure power of modern civilization, there is no need to think about the winding mountain road on the mountain.

There are not many means left for humans to climb over these mountains.

One: repair the plank road.

Send a death squad that has committed a serious crime, carrying expansion nails, wooden boards and other supplies, to find a relatively flat road, and hit the wooden boards into the mountain all the way to form a way forward.

This method was not widely used in ancient times.

Most of the time, the construction is carried out after the mountain is included in the territory of power, in order to better send troops.

For example, Prime Minister Zhuge used this method when he went to Qishan six times.

Second: Crossing mountains and ridges.

The key point of this method is "crossing". If you want to cross the mountain, you have to find the route step by step and climb to the top of the mountain first.

Then, find a good direction and go down the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

Only in this way can you successfully cross a mountain.

Of course, there are many disadvantages to this method.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain.

Not to mention the steep mountain road, just the large amount of physical strength consumed when going up the mountain and the movement of going down the mountain is very different from normal walking are enough to be fatal.

Third: retreat when you know it is difficult.

This retreat does not mean turning around when you encounter a mountain, but walking around when you encounter a mountain.

The shape of each mountain is not uniform, but there is one thing in common: the shape of the mountain is mostly conical.

As long as you are willing to walk and are not afraid of the long distance, you can go around the outer edge of the mountain until you have completely turned around and come to the other side of the mountain.

In addition to these three methods, there are many unconventional evil techniques, but these are all personal methods of moving forward, and they are useless for multi-person troops.

Therefore, there are only these three methods left for Su Mo and others to travel.

Considering the time factor, the third method and nature are directly excluded.

After all, there are a total of 19 mountains in the middle of the way from Shishan to the Origin Camp. If you want to take a detour, it will take a long time.

Because there are few people in the depression, and thinking about building a plank road is no less than giving away lives, the first method is also excluded.

Left to Su Mo and his party.

Only the second one is left.

When you encounter a mountain, you will climb over it, and when you encounter a ridge, you will cross it. Walk in a straight line all the way and go to the Origin Camp as quickly as possible!

"This snowy road is really difficult to walk!"

After half a day of traveling, they successfully arrived at Shishan at just after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Su Mo couldn't help cursing in his heart!

At present, before we have completely started to cross the mountain, three people in the hundred-man guard team have been slightly injured.

These are because the ground obstacles were covered with snow on the four hundred-mile road, and they were tripped and fell because they were moving too fast.

If it weren't for the fact that the snow on top was still soft and could buffer and remove most of the kinetic energy.

Otherwise, these three people would not have been slightly injured, but would have directly reduced the number of members in the team!

"Let's set up camp and start cooking first. After we finish eating, we will start to cross the Shishan Mountain."

"In addition, the three injured people will be arranged in the middle of the team when we go up the mountain. Even if we are slower, we must ensure that no accidents will happen again!"

He ordered to set up camp and cook, and hinted Feng Tianmin to go down to calm the emotions in the team.

After everything was done, Su Mo went around alone with his snowboard.

Near the mountain, there is an uninhabited open space, and no human or alien race chooses to set up their own camp here.

In addition, covered with snow, no matter how you walk, it seems like you are standing still, and you can't touch the horizon.

The sky is vast, the snow is vast, and he is all alone.

Su Mo walks alone.

As the saying goes, ‘a horse will die if it runs too fast’, and Su Mo is in such a situation now.

Fortunately, the road to the northeast is not far.

A moment.

After sliding out for about ten kilometers, Su Mo heard the sensor in his arms start to buzz, and a touch of joy appeared on his face, and he began to search around.

Digging here, shoveling there.

Soon, in a sunken snow cave.

Su Mo took off his snowboard, lowered his body, and saw the adventure mechanic No. 1 who was ‘struggling’ inside.

“Hey, you little thing, you fell here!”

Mechanics No. 2 and No. 3 have successfully entered the mountain and are still moving forward according to the set program.

During this period, according to Su Mo’s request.

Every time the three adventure mechanics climb over a mountain, they will transmit the data to one of them, and let him return in the direction Su Mo came from.

The other two adventure mechanics continued to move forward and headed for the next mountain.

This repeated process, when three mountains were explored, the adventure mechanics would stop until Su Mo extracted the data, and then they would continue to move forward.

Of course, if the progress was perfect.

When No. 1 returned, Su Mo extracted the data and instructed it to move forward, No. 2 and No. 3 had just stopped, and No. 1 would take over and continue to move forward.

However, there are unexpected events.

The small size of the adventure mechanics is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

When crossing mountains and ridges, they can easily climb to the top and slide down along the snow.

But if they encounter some deep pits and fall into them, it will be like this. They must wait for Su Mo to come to rescue.

"Wait until we get into the mountains. The geomagnetic shielding is too strong now. Let alone remote connection and control, even this locator can only provide an approximate location!"

Wipe the snow off the No. 1 mechanic and pick out some stones stuck in the gap.

Open the back cover, take out the data memory card stuck inside, and replace it with a new one.

Su Mo put it down happily, and watched it start the horse happily again, and rushed into the mountain again.

The geomagnetic reversal made the Wanli Mountain a pressure cooker.

Because of the shielding and isolation, the inside and outside of the pot cannot communicate at all, and even because the "hot air" in the pot occasionally spurts out, the outside world will be affected.

But after entering the pot, this influence will begin to weaken slowly.

The closer to the center of geomagnetic activity, the smaller the intensity of interference.

Take Shishan as an example. After arriving here, the sensing range of the detector in Su Mo's hand will be increased to about ten kilometers, and the adventure mechanic can also send out a weak pulse signal as coordinates.

In the future, when arriving at the origin camp, according to the direction.

The detection range will increase tenfold directly, directly to a hundred kilometers, and even the long-distance connection can be maintained at about three to five kilometers, which is extremely powerful!

"With this Shishan detection topographic map, I don't believe that I can't get over it today!"

After Shishan, there is Donglong Mountain behind, which represents the direction covering the entire eastward mountain.

It is also here that a small number of humans and aliens have been active, leaving many traces, and even according to Marshal Wang, there is suspected to be a small human gathering place.

Use the second half of the day to get familiar with the dangers in the mountains and adapt to the rhythm of climbing. The time is quite sufficient.

After walking around for a while without rushing, Su Mo followed the trail he had come from and returned to the place where the escort team had camped.

Snow fell all over the sky.

The three tents that had been set up were already covered with a white blanket of snow.

Smoke from the tents drifted out with the wind, carrying a scent of rice far away and filling the nose.

The all-terrain climbing vehicle that had been parked before was also changing rapidly amid the team members' flurry.

First of all, the tires. When driving on flat ground, the central control program can easily increase the friction due to the mechanical assistance of the screws in the tires, ensuring that there will be no slipping and sliding.

But when climbing at an angle of more than 40 degrees, it is necessary to follow the accessory manufacturing manual in the previous supporting drawings to make special snow anti-skid chains for climbing in snowy days.

This thing can greatly enhance the friction between the tires and the ground when climbing, and can even extend spikes into the snow to assist braking when sliding down.

At the back of the climbing vehicle, there are also additional accessories.

Six huge closed-loop iron hooks!

This thing is not an item in the accessory bag, but was developed by Lu Kuan and others and specially prepared for the team's travel.

Climbing is a physical job.

Climbing in the snow, you have to face multiple influences such as low temperature, snowfall, and slippery.

In order to prevent someone from falling down or fainting due to exhaustion and being unable to be rescued in time, everyone must be connected to everything to ensure safety.

But there is a problem here.

In the conventional sense of connection, unless the climbers are brothers or fathers and sons, no one dares to connect themselves to others.

After all, if one person falls, it is easy to cause a chain reaction, causing the entire team to go down and be buried.

So in order to avoid this risk, Su Mo directly placed the center point of the connection on the climbing vehicle.

Think of it as an iron nail hit on the mountain!

In this way, with the advantages of weight and latch, even if someone really falls, as long as there are not ten or twenty people together, the ability of the climbing vehicle can definitely fix it perfectly.

This is also the source of Su Mo's confidence in taking hundreds of people on a trip!

It was six o'clock in the evening.

After a simple but not simple dinner and six large bottles of water boiled with firewood, the rest time was over.

At this point, the sky had completely darkened, and with large snowflakes falling, the maximum sight distance was less than a hundred meters.

Climbing in this situation is naturally the worst environment, the worst of the worst.

The danger during climbing will increase significantly compared to when there is no snow and no wind during the day.

But there is no way.

If you want to quickly get familiar with the terrain in the snow mountain, the first few mountains are the simplest and the least dangerous.

The higher the mountain, the more complex the terrain. Without the previous accumulated experience of climbing, it is difficult to get through.

Moreover, if you want to successfully reach the origin camp within the next five days, you must travel day and night, and you can't let the more than ten hours at night rest in place.

"This is a hurdle we must pass. If we pass it, we will be able to leap over the dragon gate and be very different from the past."

"You will be the bravest soldiers in the territory, the elite among the elite, and the ones that other recruits admire!"

"At the same time, I promise you that if you encounter an accident and cannot return during the journey to the Origin Camp, then your family will enjoy the A-level treatment of the territory forever and be blessed by me, Su Mo!"

"Now, tell me loudly, do you have confidence?"

Standing in front of the team, Su Mo made the final mobilization and encouragement.

With psionic water to restore physical strength and food to provide calories, for the entire team, what is most needed in climbing the snow mountain is not physical strength, but willpower.

After the words fell.

Hundreds of people looked solemn, raised their right hands, hammered hard on their hearts, and shouted in unison: "Cross the snow mountain, fearless of all difficulties!"

"Very good, in the next five minutes, everyone, check the equipment for the last time!"

"Feng Tianmin, come with me!"

Patting his waist, signaling the members of the escort team below to check the climbing equipment again, Su Mo waved and called the captain Feng Tianmin.

"When we go up the mountain later, you will walk at the end, and contact me at any time to ensure the team's progress"

"If anyone is physically exhausted or encounters an accident, be sure to notify me as soon as possible!"

Feng Tianmin nodded carefully: "Yes, Director!"

The climbing car is in the middle as a positioning point.

Su Mo leads as a weather vane.

Feng Tianmin was at the end, as a backup.

Only by following the three points can the entire team be instructed to move forward according to the best route detected by the adventure mechanic.

Five minutes passed.

Looking at the team that was fully prepared, Su Mo took a deep breath and took the lead to hang the rope around his waist on the iron hook of the climbing car.

Others followed Su Mo's way and stepped forward one by one to firmly secure their ropes.

"Start the vehicle, turn on the guidance lights, and turn on the route assistance!"

After getting into the car, Su Mo typed the commands one by one.

The spotlight fixed on the top of the climbing car began to warm up, and then received the data, showing a green arrow on the snow surface in the distance, and giving the direction of advance.

This is the best route established by the central control inside the climbing car by reading the terrain data sent back by the mechanic.

Even if there is danger, it is the safest route on the entire mountain road, no one else!

"Everyone, follow my instructions and move forward!"

Pressing the button on his waist, Su Mo strode forward.

A circle of faint red light strips began to light up slowly from his back, and then formed a striking red triangle exclamation mark.

At the same time, the climbing car also began to move forward, bringing hundreds of ropes on the ground to rub against the snow, making a creaking sound.

Su Mo walked alone in front, about fifteen meters away from the climbing car.

Behind the climbing car, hundreds of people followed forward, and the distance between each person was about two meters.

It was nearly three hundred meters from front to back.

Like a connected greedy snake, the rope responsible for connecting everyone also began to emit a faint fluorescent green, which looked like a dream.

Ice is a single crystal, and snow is a polycrystalline.

Polycrystalline is composed of many small grains, that is, there are many grain boundaries.

Due to the existence of a large number of grain boundaries, light is difficult to transmit and can only be reflected.

Therefore, there is no need for strong spotlight light. With only these faint lights, the team can see clearly within 20 meters around it.

In addition, wearing sunglasses, there is no problem with vision.

Step by step, as a pathfinder, Su Mo walked slowly and heavily in front, trying to ensure that every step was stable and would not collapse due to the heavy feet of the people behind.

Considering that Hannibal led his army across the Alps, only 40% of the troops were left, and the troops were reorganized by verbal hiring and other verbal techniques.

After walking only two kilometers around the four-kilometer road up the mountain, Su Mo waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay where they were and start to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment!
