After the noise, everyone was ready to rest. This was a camp at an altitude of 5,900 meters. Since a large amount of supplies were carried by robot tour guides, the three of them actually didn't have much energy and had a little effort to talk and laugh.

A full moon hung in the sky, looming under the cover of clouds and mist. Zhang Yuan breathed the cool and thin air on the top of the mountain, and suddenly realized that he was less and less recalling the Kunlun Mountain world.

This cherry blossom world...how can I say it? It's pretty good if I get used to this kind of leisurely life. It's hard for a person to completely change the entire era. There is no perfection in the world. Since I've come here, I should spend my life well.

For some reason, the average life expectancy of humans here can only reach 110 years. There are not many life-extending techniques, nor so-called hibernation technology. Computer terminal::/

There is only one life for a human being, and how to spend it more meaningfully is a complex philosophical question.

"Even how to define 'meaning' is difficult to explain."

In such a daze, Zhang Yuan fell asleep and made a uniform breathing sound.

When I woke up the next day, I saw Wang Nana's smiling face as soon as I opened my eyes. This girl who was a few days younger than him is always so energetic.

"Good morning!" Wang Nana greeted.

"Good morning!" Zhang Yuan responded.

However, Ma Mingtao, the tampered guy, seemed not to have a good sleep, was covered in dust and sucking oxygen. His chest was undulating, and he was almost breathless.

"Spicy chicken!" Wang Nana laughed.

"Get out! Don't let me carry you in a while!" Ma Mingtao squinted his eyes, and with the help of a lot of oxygen, he quickly recovered.

"If you walk away, you will be Zhang Yuan's back! The one who can't climb the mountain is the pig!"

"Then let's say..."

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and enjoyed this equal family affection model very much. "Speak less and save some effort. I won't carry it at that time, ask her to carry it!"

He pointed at a robot girl with green eyes.

The entire process of climbing Mount Everest takes a total of 4 days.

Camp 1 is the physical “material supply station” before going to Xikum Ice Fight and Camp 2, and then heading to Camp 3 and Camp 4.

In the past, mountaineering teams usually looked for Tibetan guides and carried the supplies to the camp at an altitude of 7,950 meters by carrying them together.

But now it’s not necessary. The robot tour guide has the strength and carries a lot of oxygen and various heating equipment, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of climbing.

The next Sikum ice bucket is in the shape of a "u", like a large valley, covered with ice layers, and is the dividing point between Mount Everest, Lhotse and Nubuce Mountain.

Mount Everest is located in the north, and then you can walk straight forward to Luozi Peak, while Mount Nubuce is located in the south. Although the Sikum ice fight is flat, it is still full of dangers.

"First of all, there is a difficult high temperature. In this highland above 6,000 meters above sea level, because the surroundings are blocked by "high walls" built by ice and snow, once the sunlight on the plateau is reflected, the temperature can easily reach 37 degrees Celsius. Then it is the risk of hypoxia reaction and exhaustion."

"Do you know what the most things you saw here in the past are climbers?" The robot guide is a young and lively girl who can still talk and chat at an altitude of 7,000 meters.

However, Zhang Yuan felt that he was already breathless. At this height, the oxygen content was only one-third of that under normal circumstances, which was definitely a huge test for the body and mind.

"What is it?" Ma Mingtao asked tremblingly, "I feel like I'm going to die and I really want to go home."

"...It's a human corpse!" The tour guide explained to himself: "In the past, climbers had no strength, lacked oxygen, or encountered a sudden change in climate, and then suddenly fell down and died silently. And their companions did not have enough strength to carry a corpse down the mountain, so they could only throw the corpse into the snow."

"These corpses have become ice sculptures that will not rot for thousands of years. So much so that as time accumulates, more and more corpses on Mount Everest have become an ecological pollution."

Zhang Yuan shivered all over, feeling like he was listening to a horror story. He wiped the sweat from his face and looked around, but did not see the so-called corpse.

The tour guide girl said again: "...In the past, almost every mountaineering team that climbed Mount Everest had Sherpa guides. They were special ethnic groups in high-altitude mountains in the southern foothills of the Himalayas and had natural ability to climb mountaineer. Many times, their job was to carry a corpse down..."

"Of course, this is a money to be paid..."

Of course, the next thing became simple. With the progress of the times, the Sherpas also lived a wealthy life and there was no need to work for money.

All the related corpses were cleaned up by robots. These poor explorers were buried for thousands of years and finally fell back to their roots.

In the end, people even forgot the names of these explorers.

"It's not worth losing your life because of climbing a mountain. Is it to prove the courage of mankind?" This question has been lingering in Zhang Yuan's mind.

Sometimes when he can't breathe, he will feel regret like Ma Mingtao. This is the instinctive human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and he just wants to avoid this difficulty. : :

There is also a related small city at the foot of the mountain. The social public maintenance system is similar, but there are very different cultures.

Mountaineering is a belief among people in this city.

I met several mountaineering teams along the way. When both sides passed by, they greeted him very kindly and even asked in a friendly manner whether they needed help.

The robot tour guide in front gave Zhang Yuan and the other two a sense of security, otherwise it would be quite difficult for them to rely on them.

The official peak starts in the middle of the night, starts from Camp 4, starts on the cliffs of the south slope of Mount Everest, arrives at the stairs at an altitude of 8,384 meters, and then turns to the west side of the peak. Through this, you can start the final climb to the south slope of the roof of the world.

Zhang Yuan felt that he was already breathless. Every few steps he took, he had to stop and inhale oxygen. This climbing had become a kind of pain. All the mild symptoms of altitude sickness came up, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness. He felt that his eyes were full of stars and he could pass out at any time.

If you really faint, you may lose your life directly.

This is also the most dangerous place, with climbers lying here abounding.

Ma Mingtao and Wang Nana also had a terrible look on their faces. Wang Nana, who has always been lively, has stopped talking for a long time, but her face turned pale and she kept her physical strength as much as possible. Although the robot tour guide helped her a lot, she still couldn't hold on.

"I feel a little regretful inexplicably. People are so fragile and want to go home." Ma Mingtao sighed in a low voice while taking advantage of the last rest.

"Yes, once it's in pain, you'll regret it."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Then, you turn back and go down the mountain, and after feeling comfortable, you regret not going up the mountain. This regret may last for decades, or even for a lifetime."
