Faced with such explosive news, the media who are interested in gossip will naturally not let it go easily.
After learning the news, they gathered quickly and soon blended into the crowd.
For a while.
Countless cameras and drone lenses flashed continuously, and were aimed at the Pearl Tower, looking for Lin Xiao's image.
"Hello, everyone in front of the TV. This is the Urban Time column of Donghai Satellite TV. The current time is 8:30 in the evening. I am the host Wang Xue. A few minutes ago, we received a citizen hotline claiming that someone was climbing the Pearl Tower with bare hands."
A smartly dressed female reporter with short hair was speaking her opening remarks breathlessly, with the crowd as the backdrop of the live broadcast.
After he finished speaking, the camera slowly moved the lens closer and focused on Lin Xiao.
Seeing this, the female reporter continued:
"From the images fed back by the camera, we can see that the climber is not wearing any protective equipment."
"Right now, he is at the edge of the sphere under the Pearl Tower, using only his two hands to move his body, which is really frightening..."
"The situation at the scene is very complicated and dangerous. According to preliminary estimates, there are at least hundreds of onlookers. Security guards and dozens of police officers in the scenic area are maintaining order."
Looking at Lin Xiao's back as he walked alone, the female reporter sighed:
"Dear audience, this is really a crazy act... At present, we know nothing about the climber, and the police are also investigating..."
Relying on his excellent arm strength and waist and abdominal strength, Lin Xiao finally climbed to the top of the sphere.
Next, he had to use the bouldering technique, using both his hands and feet, to climb up and reach the crossbeams of the three supporting pillars of the Pearl Tower.
The night is dark.
The wind keeps blowing.
Lin Xiao held the two connecting rods with both hands and began to do pull-ups in the air.
The next second, when his body rose to a certain height, his right foot was raised first and grabbed the edge of the ball.
After his center of gravity was completely stabilized, he released his left hand, grabbed a little fingertip on the top of his head, and slowly moved upwards.
Three-point fixation.
Move a little.
This is the most basic three-point rule in rock climbing, also known as the three-point balance theory.
The general meaning is that human limbs form four points of support on the rock wall.
When a climber wants to move a hand or a foot, he must first move the body's center of gravity to the other three points before he can move the hand or foot at that point.
Easier said than done.
It looks very simple too.
But it is very difficult to do it in a coherent and coordinated manner, especially during extreme high-altitude rock climbing!
Before, when Lin Xiao was training in the rock climbing club, his limb coordination and movement efficiency were very poor, and he did not make any breakthroughs after training for a long time.
But after mastering the skills of rock climbing, these problems seemed to be solved all at once.
During the entire climbing process, all movements were smoother than ever before!
The next moment, Lin Xiao used this method to successfully flip over the apex of the sphere and came to the "upper hemisphere".
Then, use your hands and feet to continue moving forward.
Seeing this scene, the people under the tower cheered again!
"You're really good at it!"
"Respect you for being a man!"
"Fuck, there are so many reporters. Am I going to be on TV?"
"There are many experts among the common people. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if you kill me!"
"Fuck! The police are here!"
…
After learning the situation from the scenic area security guards and the surrounding residents, the police gathered together to discuss it.
Then, a calm-looking old police officer picked up the loudspeaker, turned it on, and shouted at Lin Xiao:
"Young man, I'm Liu Zhigang, a police officer in the Pujiang Bund Avenue area! Stay up there and don't move. We are working on a rescue plan. We've already contacted the fire brigade and they'll be here soon."
"Listen, no matter what the reason is, your behavior is extremely inappropriate. You must stay calm and don't do anything stupid!"
Hearing the shout, Lin Xiao squatted down and looked down.
Seeing this, Officer Liu continued:
"What on earth are you going to do, young man?"
In the huge white shadow of the outdoor floodlight, Lin Xiao remained silent.
The clown is laughing.
But he was very conflicted.
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Xiao has never been a selfish person.
However, in order to complete the task, enter the game and seek a different life.
Tonight, he had to do it.
"I'm sorry, uncle..."
After whispering something, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed towards the top of the tower.
After seeing his gesture, Liu Zhigang was shocked, his feet shook, and he almost fell.
This young man...
Do you really want to climb up
"Young man, don't do anything stupid! I guess you are not very old, and you still have a long way to go in life, so don't let it get you down!"
Hear the sound.
The crowd was also agitated.
Some cheered, some cursed, some were confused, and some remained silent.
Countdown remaining: 1:00:00
Leave these voices behind.
Lin Xiao paid attention to the countdown and set out on his journey again.
There is not much time left for myself.
Over the next hour, he not only had to climb over the beam, but also climb over the second sphere to complete the climb to the summit.
The final moment of testing your courage is coming!
Thinking of this, the eyes under the mask suddenly became firm.
Then, using his hands and feet, he climbed to the side of the three pillars after passing a winding surface.
At this time, the first sphere had been stepped under his feet!
The height here is about 180 meters.
In the sky.
Many drones with media logos surrounded Lin Xiao.
Tengxun, Toutiao, Sohu, Wangyi, Donghai Online, Xinmin Online, and countless others.
It was as if the whole world was watching him.
After living for twenty-six years, this was the first time that Lin Xiao experienced the feeling of being noticed.
To be honest, it feels good.
After resting for a while, Lin Xiao focused his attention again, stepped on the plastic steel glass on the surface of the sphere, and carefully came to the pillar.
These three pillars run through the entire Pearl Tower from bottom to top.
Between the pillars, there are beams of equal length, arranged in parallel upwards.
There are many untightened screws on the beams, gaps in the boards, and connecting rods. At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary climbing wall.
The only difference may be the altitude and the psychological changes of the climbers.
After all, in the process of climbing nearly 100 meters, it is necessary to ensure both the climbing speed and the accuracy of the landing point.
No matter how you look at it, this is not an easy task.
After planning the climbing route, Lin Xiao hesitated for two minutes and finally started climbing.
I saw him first grabbing the two screw holes, then lifting his foot to get stuck in a gap, and after his body was completely balanced, he completely left the sphere with his other foot!
By doing so, we can ensure the balance to the greatest extent possible and initially form a starting situation with three fixed points.
Next, whether it is moving or shifting the center of gravity, it will be easy.
However, what Lin Xiao did not expect was that just as he steadied himself and looked for the next foothold, the screw mouth that his left hand was holding suddenly broke for some reason!
