Chapter 56 The Red Flag Flying Over The Snow-Capped Mountains!
The core secret of this challenge is to complete a high-altitude parachute drop on the top of the world's worst peak!
It is not simply "skydiving".
The full name of this challenge should be Parachute Parachuting from Extreme Peaks!
Climbing the peak is the prerequisite, and completing the skydive is the highlight of the entire challenge!
If it were simply compared to the height of skydiving, the height of space parachuting would be enough to instantly defeat the Skyfall among the eight challenges!
But this challenge itself is contrary to the core meaning of Extreme Eight!
The eight top extreme sports represented by the Extreme Eight are an extraordinary way to pay tribute to nature and the limits of the physical body!
All challenges must be completed independently in the harshest and most extreme environments!
Instead of trying to impress people, use the power of technology to fly to the stratosphere at an unimaginable height, and then jump back down!
The challenge of skydiving in space is awesome, but it is inconsistent with the Eight Spirits!
Not to mention the stratosphere, even if you jump back to the earth from outer space, you will not be able to get feedback from natural forces and complete nirvana!
This point and the related tasks of the system have been explained very clearly!
It just wants Chu Chen to truly complete the eight extreme events in the movie, so that all mankind will remember his madness, become a veritable criminal master, and make every crime he commits become something that others can hope for. An unreachable existence!
In order to make every detail of the mission comply with the original Ozaki eight items, apart from the corresponding necessary equipment, even the mountaineering watch awarded to him by the system was not multi-functional.
There are only basic functions such as temperature, time and compass.
Otherwise, Chu Chen would not use this method to test the wind direction and speed.
…
…
…
now!
The summit of Mount Everest!
The moment the stone fell, Chu Chen decisively pressed the timing button on his watch. He didn't stop timing until he looked at it and it was completely hidden in the sea of clouds!
The entire falling process lasted less than 20 seconds.
The wind is blowing northwest!
The wind speed is about 14 to 20 meters per second!
According to calculations based on altitude and free fall speed, falling between 1,000 meters and 1,500 meters should be the best time to open an umbrella!
If converted into altitude, it is probably in the range of 6500 to 7000 meters!
But below Mount Everest, after all, it is not sea level, but a plateau of more than 5,000 meters!
This gap must be taken into account.
In addition, due to the influence of the environment, various restrictions on the line of sight will also greatly reduce the visibility!
In this case, vision is of very little help to the skydiver!
Based on the above two points, Chu Chen must be aware of these data before taking off!
Otherwise, the risk of the challenge will be infinitely magnified!
The Everest environment is inherently volatile.
Especially on the south slope, the situation is countless times more complicated than on the north slope!
Due to the influence of the foehn winds on the back of the mountain and the existence of the Khumbu Glacier, there are very few landing places to choose from. If you make a slight mistake, you may hit those extending seracs!
That’s right!
Chu Chen’s parachute destination this time was not the Tibetan plateau on the north slope, but the Nibel Sagarmatha National Park on the south slope, which is near the base camp on the south slope!
The reason why I chose the southern slope was to avoid being rounded up by the pursuit team!
At this point in time, the show is still going on!
In order to catch him, the pursuit team and the expert team must have laid a dragnet at the foot of the north slope!
Chu Chen had anticipated this before setting off.
He didn't want to jump into the center of someone's ambush trap and be caught in one fell swoop.
In order to avoid this problem, he must find another way and set the Nibel Base Camp on the south slope as the final destination of this trip, catching the pursuit team off guard and escaping!

…
The biting cold wind swirls between the undulating mountains!
Depicting a Himalayan romance that is unique to the sacred mountain!
At this moment!
In the overhead lens of the micro-eye, the eyes of the world are focused on the top of the 8848 peak and the inconspicuous black spot!
The next second!
When the camera was given to Chu Chen again, there was a bright red five-star flag beside him, which was on the top of the 8848 peak, fluttering in the wind!
In the picture, the bright red five-star flag formed a sharp contrast with the holy peak, inspiring the patriotic feelings of every Chinese in the world!
This is the first time in thousands of years of human history!
When seeing this streak of bright red, all the Chinese in the live broadcast room couldn't help but stand in awe and started to post comments:
[Everyone stand up! ]
[@Everyone, stand up and salute! ]
[Tears in my eyes! ]
[At this moment, I am so proud to be a Chinese! ]
[Strongly suggest that the Ministry of Education write this scene into our history textbooks! ]
[That's right! This is the star our children should chase, not some fucking sweet candy! ]
[The first person to climb Mount Everest was a Chinese! This can be boasted for at least thousands of years! ! ! ]
[Really awesome! ]
[Can I die right now? ]
[Take me with you! It's enough for me to see this scene in my life! ]
[At the beginning of the live broadcast, I also followed the trend to slander this young man. I apologize for my words and deeds. He is really great! ]
[My favorite contestant is no one! ]
…
At the same time!
Yanjing, Southeast Sea!
In the meeting room of a special department!
At this moment, the bright red dancing on the big screen instantly quieted the originally noisy conference room!
Looking at the familiar flag that appeared on the top of Mount Everest thousands of miles away, the old men standing in the C position of the venue all saluted the five-star flag solemnly!
They stood tall!
Their eyes were focused!
Everyone's excitement was beyond words!
Under the leadership of the white-haired old man, all the soldiers in military uniforms also faced the big screen and saluted!
For a while, the entire conference room was silent, and you could hear a pin drop!
This scene lasted for a long, long time, until the camera was given to Chu Chen again, and the atmosphere returned to normal!
At this time, in the live broadcast, Chu Chen was standing next to the national flag!
He first looked down at his watch, and then said to the live camera of Tianyan with a weathered face:
"The current time is May 9, 2024, and I am at the summit of Mount Everest, 8848 meters above sea level!"
"This is the highest point on earth, but it is not the end of my challenge, and my crimes will continue... If you still want to arrest me, I am always here for you!"
After saying that, he took off his backpack, took off his one-piece down jacket, revealing the black tights inside, and then picked up the helmet on the ground, facing the south slope of Mount Everest, and walked to the edge of the cliff...
Begin to make final preparations for the upcoming challenge...
