Chapter 417 Small Animals on the Mountain
Chapter 417 Small animals on the mountain
After drinking a bag of water, Bi Fang stopped to look around, and stationed trekking poles to the edge of a glacier.
He took out the ice ax at his waist, tapped it with the ice ax, and knocked out a small hole. After confirming the position, he smashed it down hard. The tip of the ax squeezed into the ice layer, and the crack spread like lightning.
Pressing the other end of the ice cube, Bi Fang raised and pried it with his right hand, and a whole thick piece of ice was pried off. He picked up the ice cube, took out a knife, scraped the ice cube into pieces little by little, and put it into the water bag. He said while scraping.
"At this height, there are no streams on the mountain, and all the water is ice and snow. To replenish water, you can only use ice and snow, and then slowly melt it with the dissipated body temperature like I did in Mohe."
"Because of frequent hydration needs, you'd better prepare three hydration bags to avoid having no water to drink when you want to drink water, and don't put in large pieces of ice, which is not easy to melt. It is best to scrape into pieces like I am now. crumbs."
The dagger in Bi Fang's hand was extremely sharp, and a light scrape would remove large pieces of debris, just like removing fish scales.
"Don't underestimate water cut-off, it's very dangerous. As I said before, drinking water can effectively alleviate altitude sickness. Once the water cut-off occurs, it may disrupt the whole climbing rhythm. Wait until you are thirsty and have a reaction to make up for it. Then it will be too late." gone."
"As a climber, you have to know when to run, when to walk, when to drink water, and when to replenish energy."
The opening of the water bag is very large, and the ice cubes can be scraped in directly by tilting it. Therefore, Bi Fang can scrape the ice very fast.
"In addition, you can't over-hydrate, as it is easy to get water intoxication, and the frequency should be kept more and less. It is best to drink a sip, take a sip, or add some salt to turn it into salt water. This will balance the electrolytes in the body and it will be much better."
[In other words, why not use snow, isn't the snow finer? Just grab it and stuff it in, and the ice needs to be scraped. 】
Many viewers felt that Bi Fang was unnecessary.
Is this really the case?
Bi Fang smiled. Survival in the wilderness is like this. Pay attention to everything and do the best in every detail, so that the chances of surviving will be greater.
Although the drone can no longer fly, Bi Fang secretly changed its appearance, just like a mobile phone, as long as you take it out and look at it, you can also know the content of the bullet screen, and you don't shy away from it at this time.
"Because ice is cleaner than snow." Bi Fang pointed to the sky, "Many people should know that there is a condition for the water vapor in the air to condense into snowflakes. Snow, usually condensation nuclei are just specks of dust, but ice on glaciers is different."
Bi Fang hangs a layer of smoothie with a knife and puts it into his mouth. The ice is cold and sweet, shining in the sun, it is as clear as a jewel.
"Glaciers are also snow, but they have undergone a series of changes and transformations. The process is very slow. The snow that fell in ancient times has been continuously compressed for tens of millions of years, and the impurities originally contained in the snowflakes have been squeezed into the snowflakes. The edges of the crystals are washed away successively. The resulting ice cubes, especially those formed from single crystal snowflakes, are as pure as triple distilled water."
Because of this, Bi Fang has seen many merchants selling mineral water under the name of glacier water. It is not a fraud, it is indeed clean, and it is cleaner than the water purifier. Using water purification pills is against it. insult.
After crossing the glacier, Bi Fang continued to move forward with trekking poles in hand, but after walking for a long time, he suddenly froze and took two steps back.
Everyone became nervous, only to see that the eyes on the screen kept shifting, as if Fang Shen was looking for something.
[what's wrong, what happened]
【What happened, old Fang, what are you looking for? 】
【Let me be healthy】
The moving line of sight gradually stopped, and the audience also saw what Bi Fang was looking for.
[Bird nest? 】
[Fuck, what kind of bird nests on Mount Everest? 】
[props group, props group, it's over! Dressed up! 】
The fans were dumbfounded, and it was incredible that the bird's nest appeared at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters!
Bi Fang was also very surprised, the bird's nest was hidden in the crevices of the rocks, if he hadn't glanced at it and noticed something was wrong, and turned around to look for it, he might have missed it.
The bird's nest is not big, and it is made of dead branches, leaves, feathers and even cotton wool. When Bi Fang approached, he was surprised to find that there were eggs in the bird's nest!
There are three eggs in the bird's nest, yellowish gray and white, with brown spots.
Bi Fang knelt on the ground, leaned towards the bird's nest, peeled off the cotton wool on it, then took off his gloves and put it on it to feel it from the air, smashing his mouth: "There is still temperature, the mother or father of the bird should have just left, the low temperature Birds have a huge energy deficit, so they're constantly looking for food."
Since he couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, Bi Fang didn't touch it rashly.
"When you see a bird's egg, don't touch it with your hands immediately. Many birds are cautious by nature. Once the egg is contaminated with other odors, it is likely to be pecked and stop hatching."
hiss!
The audience's heart twitched, no wonder Fang Shen wanted to feel the temperature from the air just now, there is such a thing?
The current altitude is 6289 meters. Birds that can nest at such a high altitude are rare. Judging by the location, altitude, environment, and the shape of the eggs
After searching in his mind, Bi Fang put the trekking pole under his arm and touched his chin.
"If you guessed right, this should be the egg of an alpine chough. This kind of bird builds its nest at an altitude of 3,000 to 6,000 meters, and even 6,500 meters, which is higher than any other bird's nesting altitude. high.
Now it is May again, theoretically it belongs to spring, and it is the time for birds to breed in large numbers. When they hatch, it will be summer, and the temperature will rise, which is suitable for the survival of young birds. My lord, help me see if it is the egg of a mountain chough. "
Bi Fang took out his mobile phone and contacted Attenborough directly.
The old man's academic status is not in vain, to be on the safe side, it's better to ask.
As a result, it didn't take long for Attenborough to receive an affirmative reply. Whether it was from the environment or the shape of the egg, it was the egg of an alpine chough.
Bi Fang was overjoyed: "It seems that Sir Alex has been watching my live broadcast all the time, so pay attention!"
【click a little star】
[Off-site assistance belongs to yes]
【So can I eat it? 】
[Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long, so can you fry eggs? 】
"You can eat it. The yellow-billed chough is not a protected animal. The number exceeds one million, and there is no risk of extinction, but I don't recommend eating it." Bi Fang put on his gloves and put on the cotton wool again, "The relatives of the yellow-billed chough especially like to eat it. They rummaged through the trash for food, and sometimes came back to hatch their eggs after drilling a circle in the trash, if it is not necessary, it is not recommended to eat its eggs, it is not clean.”
The audience regretted for a while, thinking that it was rare to be able to eat local food on Mount Everest.
Every time I watch the live broadcast, I am most excited to watch Fang Shen hunt and eat authentic game.
Wilderness, dry food soul!
[By the way, are there any other animals? It's more than 6,300 meters away. Is there any higher one? 】
Bi Fang thought about it, but it really reminded him of a creature: "There is a creature that can even live at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and it is definitely the creature with the highest altitude."
what creature?
People who eat melons have always been curious about what is the best.
In order to satisfy the fans' curiosity, Bi Fang sped up and ran quickly to the edge of a glacier. He probed into it, but unfortunately there was nothing.
【What is it? Quickly talk]
【That's right, let's talk first】
What on earth can live at such a high altitude?
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll know when I find it, it's not hard to find it."
Bi Fang stopped the audience's anxiety and walked for more than half an hour while climbing the mountain, and he really discovered something!
Lying on the edge of a glacier again, Bi Fang stretched out his hand to fish it out, the movement was too fast, almost an afterimage, the audience didn't see what it was, but Bi Fang looked surprised, obviously caught it, wait for him Spread your palms.
【Fuck, spider!】
[There should be screams at this moment. 】
That's right, if there are girls here, there will definitely be screams at this time, because Bi Fang is crawling with a big fluffy spider in his hand!
