I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

Chapter 454: into the mountains

Views:

Back in the room, Chen Mu summoned the map habitually, took a look, everything was fine.

The increase in vitality is getting faster and faster, and after a few days, it has increased by almost one million.

Although the light is a bit dim, it can be seen that the glass greenhouse across the road has begun to set up a shelf, and a rough outline has emerged.

The homestay is also under construction. The foundation has been laid, and several rows can be built to add nearly 60 rooms.

This is quite exciting, and more people will be recruited to work in the forest farm by then.

After looking around the forest products, Hu Xiaoer and his three wives were lying under a Populus euphratica tree, very quiet.

Erhua's stomach got bigger, Chen Mu wondered if he could rush back to watch Erhua give birth.

It would be a pity if he couldn't celebrate the birthday of his soon-to-be-born nephew.

After all, he also wanted to know what the growth of the hump was after the baby camel was born.

Is one plus two equals two, or one plus two equals one...

Or one plus two equals three...

That would be interesting.

After watching Hu Xiaoer's family, Chen Mu turned to the female doctor again.

This silly girl is already sleeping in the room, wearing pajamas, hey, let alone, it's quite sexy... Well, I can't see more.

Look at the Uyghur girl again, this prodigal girl is making up her money and doing experiments at the same time.

Looking at the content displayed on her tablet, there happened to be the formula of the nutritional supplements given to her before, indicating that she was doing related experiments.

There will probably be a result soon. Chen Mu believes that this should be another patent, but he doesn't know if it will be of great use.

After reading it, Chen Mu exited the map interface and went to sleep.

This has become his habit. Every night before going to sleep, he must summon the map to take a look, and only after reading it can he fall asleep with peace of mind.

He didn't know why, anyway, he was concerned about the gas station and the people in the gas station.

When you wake up, it's a new day.

They stayed in the hotel all day and did some targeted training with the two guides.

"How do you feel? The altitude here has reached 3,000 meters. There are certain requirements for your cardiovascular endurance and muscle endurance. You need to adapt yourself as soon as possible."

Pengcuo Tashi helped Chen Mu train one-on-one.

Chen Mu has already come to Scardu, and he doesn't feel any difference.

However, after a little "exercise" today, I immediately felt that I was out of breath. It seems that the altitude is really a heavy load on the body.

Phuntso Tashi said: "From the time we enter the mountain until we enter the base camp, we will stay in the base camp for a while and adapt slowly.

During this period of time, I will continue to train you on cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. After you adapt to the normal amount of activity on the plateau, I will gradually reduce your amount of exercise and let you rest for a few days. Gain maximum energy for a period of time. "

Chen Mu didn't understand, but was a little worried.

The altitude here is only 3,000 meters, and I feel so tired after a little exercise. The mountaineering base camp of K2 is said to be 4,980 meters. I really don’t know if I can bear it.

And when the time comes to go up the mountain, almost straight up 4000 meters, the load on the body will be even greater, which is unimaginable.

A day later, the permits issued by the government and the military came, and they began to enter the mountain.

Chen Mu, Phuntso Tashi, and Zaher drove in one car, while Dorji Wangdui and Lin Yuanchun drove in the same car.

There was another car, a pick-up truck, with porters, cooks and their luggage on it.

These porters are from Zaher and belong to the same company.

It is said that when they arrive at Asker, more porters, donkeys and horses will be hired to carry some daily necessities, and the number of them exceeds ten.

According to Phuntso Tashi's introduction, some mountaineering teams with deep pockets have so many porters that they seem to be moving house.

In the past, the highest record was a mountaineering team from Japan, which hired 1,500 porters in an extremely exaggerated manner.

It can be imagined that it is really equivalent to hiring an army to enter the mountain. If such a luxurious lineup cannot reach the top, you will be ashamed to tell people that you have come to K2, what a shame.

From Scardus to Asker, the straight-line distance is only about 100 kilometers, which is not far.

Still the same sentence, if there is a high-speed road, it can be reached in one hour, but it takes 7 to 8 hours to walk on the mountain road.

This is still a normal situation, because there are often landslides in the mountains, and rocks will roll down the mountains, which is very dangerous.

Once encountering such a situation, the convoy must stop, wait for the rocks to fall completely, and clean up before continuing, so sometimes it is not necessarily possible to return the same way.

After the convoy set off, they basically walked on dirt roads.

Pakistan is relatively poor and its infrastructure is poor, so the so-called road is just flattening the soil on the ground. As time goes by, it becomes less smooth.

Moreover, many roads on the edge of the cliff can basically only accommodate one car passing dangerously, even if the steering wheel jumps a little, it may cause the car to fall off the cliff.

This greatly slows down the speed of the car, and from time to time, it will pass the cable bridge across the river, which is very primitive. The car dangles on it, which really makes people feel that it will break at any time.

After such a lot of tossing, I finally arrived at the place.

Chen Mu felt okay. He looked at the scenery along the way and took photos. Although he was bumped a bit hard, it was still acceptable.

But Zhang Jiahui in the other car was horrified. After getting out of the car, he kept throwing up, and his whole face turned pale.

Manny and Lin Yuanchun are better, and their behavior is still normal, but judging by their faces... they must have suffered a lot.

Chen Mu thought about it, and felt that the reason why he was able to behave so calmly was entirely due to the little Jinbei at home... Well, in short, a man with experience is different from a flower in a greenhouse.

Stayed overnight in Asker, and started hiking the next day, entering the base camp of K2.

There is nothing to say about this night, the only special thing is the situation of hiring a porter.

Divide things into wooden boxes and weigh them.

Hire as many porters as there are things that weigh, and all transactions are based on weight.

Chen Mu asked Phuntsok Tashi how much each porter could carry. Phuntsok Tashi said: "They have to support their families, and many of them can even carry 100 kilograms of weight, which is about the same as their body weight."

100 catties

Chen Mu was speechless.

One can imagine how hard it is to carry such a weight on the plateau.

Moreover, the road is still bumpy and difficult, and it is really a burden to move forward.

The next day, Chen Mu really saw how awesome these porters are.

Most of them were carrying a large blue plastic bucket, more than half the height of a person, and their hands were thick.

The most powerful thing is that Chen Mu and the others are wearing jackets, hiking shoes, etc. They are directly wearing Baguo robes and trousers. Many people only have a pair of sandals or slippers on their feet. It is considered good to be able to wear a pair of sneakers. .

"They are poor, and some people wear slippers to go up the mountain in cold weather. There is no way, everything is for life."

Although Chen Mu was not a holy mother, he felt sad when he heard this.

Moreover, each of these porters looked very naive, and when they smiled at their guests, they had a strong sense of kindness, probably because they were the ones who paid the money.

This made Chen Mu feel that everyone must give them some extra tips afterwards, at least so that they can afford to buy a pair of shoes.
