Chapter 181 Start the challenge directly!
It wasn't Xiao Ning who had altitude sickness.

It was Liu Weiwei.

If you slowly come from low-altitude areas to high-altitude areas and take "Rhodiola rosea" for a period of time in advance, the problem of altitude sickness will be significantly improved.

But Xiao Ning and his party flew directly from the low-altitude Rongcheng to Kangding Airport.

The average altitude of Chengdu is only 500 meters.

However, Kangding Airport, with an altitude of more than 4200 meters, is indeed a proper high-altitude airport.

Highland airports generally refer to airports built at an altitude of 1524 meters (5000 feet) and above, but below 2438 meters (8000 feet).

The high plateau airport is an airport with an altitude of more than 2438 meters.

Looking at the entire Water Blue Star, only Long Country has the most high-altitude airports, and it directly takes the top few high-altitude airports in the world.

The highest altitude airport in the world is Daocheng Yading Airport located in Sichuan Province at an altitude of 4411 meters.

The airport with the second highest altitude is Qamdo Bangda Airport located at an altitude of 4334 meters in Zone Z.

The airport with the third highest altitude is Alikunsha Airport, which is also located in Zone Z at an altitude of 4274 meters.

As for the fourth highest airport, it is where Xiao Ning and the others are located. The exact airport is Kangding Airport with an altitude of 4238 meters.

A sudden increase in altitude in a short period of time is especially prone to altitude sickness.

When Liu Weiwei got off the plane, she felt dizzy obviously. After the group met with the staff of the Austrian Red Bull Zheduo Mountain Special Team.

Because of the feeling of dizziness and headache, she couldn't even walk for a while, so she could only rest on a chair at the airport for the time being.

When ordinary people go to plateau areas, many people will experience "altitude sickness" because their bodies are not adapted to the air density of the plateau and their body's poor tolerance to hypoxia.

The so-called "altitude sickness" is actually a series of dizziness, headache, fatigue, insomnia and other symptoms after the body is in a low-pressure and low-oxygen environment because it cannot adapt.

In severe cases, altitude sickness can directly cause death.

Regarding the issue of altitude sickness, Xiao Ning had already thought about it before setting off.

His current physical fitness has reached an astonishing 18.0.

What is this concept?

According to the system, Xiao Ning's previous physical fitness data was still at 17.5, regardless of technology, his physical indicators are already enough to start a sprint to the existing human world records in various sports.

After the low-altitude skydiving mission of the twin towers, Xiao Ning once again gained 0.5 points of physical fitness enhancement. Now that he has reached 18 points of physical fitness, he is already comparable to the strongest athletes on Aquamarine in many sports fields, and even surpasses them.

With such a heaven-defying physical condition, Xiao Ning didn't think he would have any altitude sickness.

Theoretically speaking, it is not because of good health that there will be no altitude sickness.

Whether there is altitude sickness and whether the altitude sickness is serious depends on which aspect of the body is better.

Many athletes with strong physical fitness and heavy endurance will not experience altitude sickness, such as long-distance runners, football players, basketball players, swimmers, etc.

Because during long-term aerobic exercise, their body's hypoxia tolerance will be stronger than ordinary people, and their ability to adapt to the environment will also be stronger.

However, athletes in anaerobic short-term sports such as weightlifting have relatively poor tolerance to hypoxia.

Even if the overall quality is still better than ordinary people, it is normal if they really have altitude sickness.

As for Xiao Ning...

He is omnipotent.

Aerobic exercise such as marathon, he is invincible.

He is still invincible in anaerobic sports such as sprinting and long jumping.

So after thinking briefly before setting off, Xiao Ning determined that it was impossible for him to experience altitude sickness.

And now he is indeed like a normal person.

At this moment, people from the Red Bull Zheduoshan project team have brought a vial for oxygen inhalation.

With the help of a female staff member, Liu Weiwei took a few mouthfuls of oxygen before her symptoms eased slightly.

However, for the sake of caution, Xiao Ning planned not to take Liu Weiwei with him on the next trip to Zheduo Mountain.

The average altitude of Zheduo Mountain is very high, and the highest point is even higher than Kangding Airport, the fourth highest airport in the world.

Liu Weiwei had severe altitude sickness right after getting off the plane, and it would be really dangerous to go to Zheduo Mountain.

After telling Liu Weiwei about this matter, although Liu Weiwei really wanted to be with Xiao Ning, but she was really unwell, so she had no choice but to agree.

Because it is already night, even if you go to Zheduo Mountain, you can’t see much, so finally, under the arrangement of the Red Bull staff, Xiao Ning and his party temporarily stayed in the urban area of ​​Kangding (2560 meters) at a lower altitude tonight. Stay and rest.

Early the next morning.

In addition to Xiao Ning, including Liu Weiwei who still felt uncomfortable, several assistants who accompanied Xiao Ning from the magic capital also felt headaches, dizziness and other symptoms.

Several assistants were specially recruited by Liu Weiwei to facilitate Xiao Ning's daily work and life.

Originally, Liu Weiwei thought that bringing these people over would always help Xiao Ning at some point.

But now it seems that everyone, like her, really can't help anything.

However, Xiao Ning didn't think there was anything wrong. After comforting everyone, he called Red Bull's staff to help take care of Liu Weiwei and the others.

In order for Xiao Ning to have a clearer understanding of the route situation in Zheduo Mountain.

Going from Kangding to Zheduo Mountain is not by car.

Instead, I went back to Kangding Airport, where I landed yesterday, and boarded a plateau helicopter rented by Red Bull.

Today is a sunny day.

As the helicopter lifted off, Xiao Ning's mood was filled with all the scenery he could see.

It is completely different from those big cities in the steel forest.

Overlooking the ground from the sky above Kangding, there are only open fields and urban buildings with extremely strong ethnic characteristics and most of them are very low...

And in the sky of this city, there is an endless blue sky, covering the city like a whole piece of blue cloth.

Not to mention feeling the rhythm of the city specifically, Xiao Ning can feel the leisure and freedom just by sitting in the helicopter and enjoying all the beautiful scenery around him.

Amidst the roar of the helicopter, the scenery below continued to recede. It didn't take long for Xiao Ning and others to reach the sky above Zheduo Mountain.

This is Xiao Ning's first time overlooking the entire mountain from the sky above Zheduo Mountain.

With twists and turns and steep slopes, all kinds of large trucks are scattered on the winding mountain road.

After letting the helicopter hover over the mountain for two more laps, the plane stopped at a nearby apron near Zheduo Mountain.

Then Xiao Ning finally met the person in charge of the Austrian Red Bull Zheduoshan project team.

"Mr. Xiao, my name is Chen Qing, and I am the person in charge of the project where Red Bull cooperates with you to complete the downhill challenge of Zheduo Mountain."

"Because we were evaluating the road conditions here yesterday and doing some preparations, I was not able to pick you up at the airport in person. Please don't be offended by this matter."

Chen Qing, who was waiting on the tarmac in advance, greeted Xiao Ning just as he got off the helicopter, because he knew how much Zou Yitian valued Xiao Ning, he even made a special explanation about the fact that he didn't pick up the plane yesterday .

Xiao Ning waved his hand to indicate that it doesn't matter, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, have you checked the road conditions yesterday?"

Chen Qing nodded: "Because the main roads of G318 have been undergoing renovation and maintenance in the past few years, and the road in Zheduo Mountain can be said to be the first entrance to the west of Sichuan. After all, the first pass in Kangba..."

"So in fact, the whole section of the road has been renovated and maintained by the government in recent years, and the road condition is very good."

"There is no bad road situation like the one step and three pits in the early years."

"but……"

Chen Qing paused, and then continued: "After all, the geographical environment is special, and there are many trucks passing by, so there are still a lot of gravel on the road..."

"Our plan is to clear the road surface to a certain extent in advance when you are taking on the challenge, so as to ensure the safety of the road conditions as much as possible."

Xiao Ning nodded, and then said: "Let me drive up and take a look around first."

soon.

The Red Bull team got Xiao Ning a car.

This was specifically requested by Xiao Ning.

He did not choose an off-road vehicle with better passability, but asked the Red Bull team to find a car with a relatively low chassis.

The reason why Xiao Ning did this is to perceive the road surface and road conditions more clearly while driving.

After all, the chassis of off-road vehicles is relatively high, and the ability to filter vibrations is better. If you drive an off-road vehicle, you may ignore many details because of the car.

Chen Qing personally accompanied Xiao Ning to drive all the way up from the bottom of the mountain.

Before, Chen Qing was worried that Xiao Ning would suddenly become interested in driving wildly on this Zheduo mountain.

After all, as a staff member of Red Bull's extreme sports department, Chen Qing knew very well that Xiao Ning's driving skills were against the sky.

So he was actually prepared to be foamed at the mouth by Xiao Ning's various fierce driving.

But in fact, Xiao Ning drove very smoothly all the way up or down the mountain.

Even deliberately maintain the engine speed in a very stable range.

There is no hard acceleration and no hard deceleration.

This is the most comfortable driving method for the passengers in the car.

Along the way, Chen Qing would take the initiative to explain the situation to Xiao Ning every time he passed some places marked by the team before.

Similar to where there was a landslide some time ago, the road was repaired, a driver was driving tired in a certain place, and the road protection stone pier was damaged, and the person and the car turned down the mountain and so on.

While listening, Xiao Ning drove the car to perceive the specific situation of the road.

After driving a full circle, after getting off the car to have a look at some sections of the road, Xiao Ning followed and drove Chen Qing down the mountain again.

What I have to say is that in fact, the situation of Zheduo Mountain, at least the road conditions and the comprehensive road conditions, are much better than what Xiao Ning thought before.

When he came to travel a few years ago, there were still many potholes on the road here...

Just like what Chen Qing told him at the beginning, the road of G318, which has been fully commercialized now, has really changed completely.

The road is really visible to the naked eye, much better.

Xiao Ning even felt that the part of the road going up and down Zheduo Mountain was much smoother than that of Qiuming Mountain.

of course.

Although the road conditions were good, Xiao Ning did relax a bit.

But there are still other disadvantages.

For example, it is almost winter after all.

Originally, the plateau area in western Sichuan was cold earlier than other places, so the outdoor temperature at this moment has been hovering between 0 degrees and 3 or 4 degrees.

If the temperature drops at night, dark ice is likely to appear on the road.

The so-called "dark ice" actually refers to the fact that less water condenses into ice on the road surface.

But this kind of "dark ice" may not be noticed by driving if you don't stop and observe carefully.

Another example is the weather problem mentioned by Chen Qing.

According to the forecast of the Meteorological Observatory in the past few days, the weather near Zheduo Mountain is very good, but if it drags on for a few more days, it will be really uncertain.

What's more, the forecast of the weather station is not [-]% accurate.

Although now it looks like there has been no snow or anything in recent days.

But who can say for sure?
What if?
In case it really snows here, combined with the high altitude, even if it is not to the extent that the road management department orders the mountain to be closed, normal cars driving on this winding mountain road must also be equipped with snow chains.

Once such a situation occurs, it is absolutely impossible for the longboard to slide on the road.

Furthermore.

Once the extreme weather really occurs, the road management department will close the Zheduo Mountain Highway for a day or two for the sake of safety.

Then even if the closure of the mountain is lifted later, the mountainous road will be broken for a while and the conditions for the long version of the downhill will not be met.

the reason is simple.

The weather is so extreme that the mountain is closed, it must be a very violent blizzard.

Even if the mountains are closed, the snow melts, and the roads are cleared, these are not things that can be done in a day or two.

Unless Xiao Ning can transform the longboard into a snowboard, he really won't be able to downhill on Zheduo Mountain in a short time.

In the end, I followed Chen Qing back to the vicinity of Zheduo Mountain, behind the small resting point temporarily set up by Red Bull.

After including the person in charge Chen Qing, many staff members of the Austrian Red Bull Zheduoshan project team collected information on the situation of Zheduoshan.

With a rather indifferent expression on his face, Xiao Ning directly issued an order to everyone present that surprised everyone.

"Team Leader Chen told me before that you have obtained the permission from the local authorities."

"Given that weather conditions and road conditions are likely to change from season to season we cannot predict."

"So I think it's time to start clearing the roads now."

"This afternoon!"

"Start the challenge directly!"

After Xiao Ning finished speaking these few words, the audience was completely silent.

Originally, according to the team's expectations, they had to cooperate with Xiao Ning to make full preparations for each specific section of downhill downhill.

But now Xiao Ning just took a look around the road, so he's about to start the challenge right away?

Although he did go to have a look, whether it is directly overlooking the helicopter or driving up the mountain, it will take so much time!

There is no detailed understanding of the road at all!

So this is completely equivalent to not being prepared!
On the Zheduo Mountain at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, do you have a longboard downhill challenge with little preparation?

This Nima is really desperate, right?
