Chapter 846: Another Member
When Bifang and Yao Jun came to the jungle pavilion, they heard a huge noise, like cheering and applauding.
When they asked someone, they found out that someone was participating in a rock climbing competition.
Since it is a wilderness club, the purpose of building a rainforest pavilion is not just to walk into the rainforest environment and see common rainforest animals.
There are also many unique buildings here, such as rock climbing walls.
Before the construction of this rock climbing wall in the wilderness club, the world's highest rock climbing wall was located in Nevada, U.S., on one side of the wall of the Whitney Peak Hotel, 164 feet high, about 50 meters.
The most common colored pedals are used. When climbers reach the top, they can overlook the panoramic view of Nevada and even see the snow-covered Nevada Mountains in the distance.
It costs ten pounds each time to go up.
The reason why I say before is that the rock climbing wall built by the club is naturally higher, reaching an astonishing 56 meters.
Because the height is too high, the entire rock climbing wall broke through the jungle pavilion and was completely open to the sky.
This is also to simulate the wind and rain of the real environment. If required, mechanical watering can be carried out to simulate a humid environment.
There are no colorful footrests on it, but simulated rock walls. Of course, there are traces of artificial carving on the rock walls, which is convenient for finding footholds.
Each use requires RMB 100, but if you can climb to the top in one breath, you can get it for free.
Those who sign up for training are also free to try, but it cannot be said to be free, because the registration fee itself includes the use of equipment.
Rock climbing is a very physically demanding thing, especially non-stop climbing activities, coupled with the special environment, ordinary people can not do much, but it is not difficult to practice a few more times.
In this way, this rock climbing wall quickly became famous in the industry.
Every day people come here to challenge, and even often come here to compete.
Today Bifang and Yao Jun caught up. It is said that the two young people bet to see who will reach the top first, but it is not clear what the bet is.
Then a large group of people made a fuss below, and now both of them have climbed to the middle of the waist.
Looking at the rock wall with a darker color, you can know that they have also turned on the death mode and poured water on the rock wall in advance.
Bifang was planning to take a look and leave, but before he could turn around, a loud shout from the crowd exposed him to everyone's eyes.
"Fang Shen!"
"Fuck, Fang Shen, where is he?"
"Behind, under that tree!"
"The grass is alive!"
Yao Jun took two steps back silently and raised his hands: "Looks like you have to find a way to get out."
Bifang's wilderness club is nominally a wilderness, but since the aquarium moved in and merged, it is obviously not that simple.
There will be a horse farm later.
Yao Jun said that there is also a zoo that intends to move here recently, but it is only a preliminary intention and the site has not been decided.
But even so, it can be seen.
The government seems to intend to turn this area into a natural entertainment area.
So it is not very realistic to say that everyone here is a fan of Bifang and everyone knows Bifang, but it is pure nonsense to say that he will not be recognized when walking in the public eye.
Among the ten people, at least six people can recognize Bifang at a glance, three people will feel familiar, and the remaining one may be face-blind.
The crowd surged, and the two young men who had originally bet on rock climbing quickly became unpopular.
The original cheering suddenly disappeared, and it felt like there was no energy left for rock climbing.
The ground trembled slightly, and Bifang's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
The current situation is comparable to the migration of wildebeests in the dry season in Africa. It really makes people afraid that they will be pushed to Tianshan in the next second.
"Finally saw a living person!"
"It feels more handsome than the live broadcast, and there is no beauty filter!"
"Why does Fang Shen have such good skin as a man? What brand of cosmetics does he use?"
"My muscles are so hard."
"Don't touch me, you naive girl, let me go!"
In less than ten seconds, Bifang felt that he was drowned by the crowd, and then he could feel some hands touching something in the chaos.
It was not easy to break free, and there was another crowd who was making a fuss, asking Bifang to teach them rock climbing.
Many people here came to watch the fun and did not know how to climb, so there was nothing wrong with such a request.
Bifang felt the enthusiasm of the crowd and felt that signing alone could not offset it. He could only agree reluctantly.
"Okay, okay, but I'm really busy."
Bifang was pushed by the crowd to the rock wall. As for the two young men just now, they didn't know where they were. Perhaps they knew Bifang was coming and didn't want to embarrass themselves, so they had to run away in advance.
In fact, when Bifang came to the rock wall, many people had already pulled the descent lock down, leaving the entire rock wall empty.
It felt like driving a Rolls-Royce on the road, and the Mazda in front automatically avoided it.
"Okay, do you have any questions?"
Bifang buckled the safety buckle and put on gloves, without any idea of taking advantage.
This is not that Bifang is not confident in his own strength, but that he is not confident in the strength of others.
To climb here, safety measures must be taken.
If Bifang relies on his strong strength this time and does not tie a safety rope, what should he do next time someone imitates him?
If this happened at someone else's house, it would be fine. He would pretend to be cool and leave a legend in the world, but for his own industry, of course he must take responsibility.
"Me, me, me!"
"Fang Shen, I held on well when I grabbed the point, but I just couldn't exert force to do the next move?"
"Fang Shen, look at me! Take a photo!"
The comments were basically all Lao Fang, Boss Fang, and Fang Shen rarely heard of him, but in reality, more people called him Fang Shen.
"What brand of skin care products does Fang Shen use? Please recommend it."
"I don't use cosmetics. If I exercise more, you can be like me." Bifang smiled, "But it's better for us to ask questions related to rock climbing."
"Fang Shen, why do I need to do a dynamic flying kick sometimes, but my leg doesn't fly and my hand falls?"
"I find that I like climbing straight walls more and more, but I can't do it when I climb inclined walls."
"If these are the problems, then it may be that your finger strength may have become the bottleneck of your rock climbing."
Bifang listened to the questions and gave brief answers carefully.
Those who can ask questions are not all novices. They all know some basic knowledge, but they are still a long way from being professional.
"When I see others doing the movements in the rock climbing gym, I feel that this line is easy, but when I climb the wall, I find that I can't do any movements."
"Many times, I think others have delicate skills, but in fact, they just have no strength, just like a weak country cannot talk about diplomacy. If you can't even grasp the point, no matter how good the skills are, they can't be used."
"Finger strength is definitely an important factor in whether we can advance in rock climbing, and it is also a key to really get started."
Bifang, wearing all the equipment, jumped lightly, and the whole person clung to the wall like a gecko, talking without breathing, climbing left and right, extremely flexible.
With muscle control and balance control, Bifang feels that rock climbing is almost the same as walking freely on the ground.
"What is finger strength?"
"Of course, finger strength is the strength of the finger muscles!"
"No!" Bifang stopped everyone's literal speculation, "Finger strength is not the literal finger muscle strength. Fingers have no muscles. Our fingers can move because of the 17 muscles in the palm and 18 muscles in the arm connected to the fingers by tendons."
Bifang freed one hand, took off his gloves, and moved his hands and fingers, pressing the muscles on them.
"You can press the same place and feel it and you will understand."
"The superficial flexor digitorum and deep flexor digitorum on the arm are the main muscles that help you bend your fingers, so every time you finish climbing, it is obviously the fingers that are exerting force, but you will feel that your arms are the most tired."
"When grasping, the force exerted by the thumb is completely different. The thumb alone has 8 different muscles to control the movement at different angles. When we grasp and exert force, the lumbrical muscles and interosseous muscles are the key to our grasping the rock point."
Bifang turned his back and grasped a piece of rock with his back facing the rock wall, but his whole body was firmly attached to the rock wall without any instability.
The crowd below exclaimed.
"Don't think that muscles are just a piece of meat. The muscle fibers inside are different. These muscle fibers are united and twisted into a rope. When they are tense, our muscles begin to exert force."
"Some muscle fibers have better endurance but no strength, which are called slow-twitch muscles."
"On the contrary, some muscle fibers are very strong but fatigue quickly, which are fast-twitch muscles. In each muscle, there are muscle fibers of various qualities, from the best strength to the best endurance."
"When it comes to strengthening muscle strength, it is actually to strengthen the strength of each muscle fiber. If you train slow-twitch muscles, your endurance will be better, and training fast-twitch muscles will make you stronger."
"Then if I train all my slow-twitch muscles into fast-twitch muscles, will I become a power god?"
Someone raised a question in the crowd.
Bifang shook his head: "Unfortunately, the muscle fiber ratio of each person's muscle is determined at birth. Fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles will not transform into each other due to training, so everyone's potential is different."
"Some people's tendon connection points are farther away from the joints, which naturally makes them stronger. Their muscle force arm is longer, because torque = force * arm."
"You may never be Alex Honnold, but you can be a better person."
More and more people gathered around, and Bifang's heart sank more and more as he spoke.
With so many people, can he really leave after speaking?
But at this point, Bifang can only bite the bullet and continue.
"When you do an action, not all muscle fibers are involved. If you don't need to do an action with all your strength, then your most powerful fast-twitch muscles will just watch."
"When you use all your strength, although you can't hold on any longer, your slow-twitch muscles haven't started to feel good yet, and your brain will cleverly control to use only the least muscle fibers to complete the action."
"The tension of muscle fibers in each action is from the slowest slow-twitch muscle to the fastest fast-twitch muscle."
"This is why bouldering improves strength faster than climbing routes. When climbing routes, even though you are so tired that you can't even hold the big points properly, you actually don't use your powerful fast-twitch muscles."
Yao Jun yawned under the tree.
Compared to Bifang, he is much less well-known. Although he is often called a profiteer and cursed, not many people really know what he looks like.
9 o'clock in the evening.
Yao Jun, who was watching TV series in the office, received a call from Bifang.
"Where are you, come here, I'm out!"
"Ha, out? Earlier than I thought."
"Hurry up, I'm so tired, this thing is more tiring than live broadcasting."
"Hahaha, come right up."
It was already half past nine when Bifang saw the Gambian rat.
Dozens of rats lived together, the scene was quite spectacular, especially these rats, each of which was as big as a kitten, which looked even more exaggerated, as if they had come to some strange country.
Seeing Bifang and Yao Jun coming over, these rats were not afraid of strangers at all. When they saw Bifang spread his palm and showed the bread, most of the rats gathered around, scrambling to grab the food, stuffing their cheeks full, bulging, looking like squirrels.
Bifang fed and explained to Yao Jun at the same time.
"This kind of rat is bigger than ordinary rats, and its sense of smell is more sensitive. At first, the Venezuelan military cultivated several qualified mine-clearing rats through artificial breeding and selection, so that the rats can judge whether there are hidden mines by smelling the smell of gunpowder, and the reward is only a banana." "Efficient mine-clearing rats can detect tens of thousands of square meters of land in a day." Yao Jun shrugged: "Anyway, I don't like rats, and it's your money, I don't care. What are you going to do? Take them all back? Or pick two? Keep the others here?" "Pick two, and keep the rest here, and you can also interact with tourists." Bifang looked around and finally locked on a Gambian rat lying in front of a glass display case. Behind the glass was a curled up venomous snake hanging upside down on a branch. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and the venomous snake suddenly stretched out to attack, but ended up hitting the glass with a muffled sound. What is surprising is that the Gambian rat behind the glass did not seem to be frightened at all, and even just moved slightly, then moved closer and observed carefully.
"Let's take it."
Bifang's interest increased greatly, and he determined the target.
It is not strange that animals have lived for a long time and realize the existence of glass, but after the poisonous snake on the other side of the glass attacked, it was not afraid at all.
In this situation, people may be frightened, let alone a rat, which shows that it is not only smart, but also very brave.
Bifang needs this.
It is too easy to encounter dangerous situations in the wilderness. He doesn't want a Gambian rat that is scared and flees wildly when it encounters danger, and can't be found afterwards.
"There are really more and more animals at home."
Bifang sighed.
