The European Emperor lay on Chen Yang's back, its paws resting on Chen Yang's body.
In mid-air, Chen Yang quickly used the Velcro straps he had prepared to tightly bind himself and the European Emperor together, then spread his limbs, and the wingsuit instantly inflated.
A gust of air suddenly surged by, but it had no effect on Chen Yang, who glided smoothly in the sky.
Dunli turned around and was shocked to see that Chen Yang was actually standing steadily in the air.
The weight of this European-style dog is no less than that of an Alaskan Malamute. It looks like it definitely weighs seventy or eighty pounds, and it can still fly smoothly while carrying such a heavy load.
This is absolutely the first dog in history to participate in wingsuit flying, and it's a large dog, and it's in the Arctic!
This is an unprecedented shock to wingsuit flying! Dunley felt his worldview had been shattered.
When Chen Yang and the European Emperor descended from the sky, the most surprised people were definitely not Dunley, but rather some of the people who were already taking pictures at the pole.
They had just arrived at the pole in an icebreaker and were still quite excited when suddenly a person flew down from the sky. Can you imagine how shocked they were?
Moreover, Chen Yang was still circling in the sky.
His body tilted slightly as he spiraled down through the sky.
He turned a perfectly good wingsuit flight into something resembling a slide.
Wingsuit flyers use body movements to control their gliding direction, using their bodies for unpowered flight. Upon reaching a safe altitude, the athlete deploys a parachute for a smooth landing. Once in ideal flight mode, unpowered wingsuit flying can typically reach speeds of around 200 kilometers per hour. The descent ratio is approximately 1:3, meaning that for every meter of descent, the athlete advances approximately three meters.
They glide forward, while Chen Yang descends in a spiral; these are completely different concepts.
"We're almost at our maximum altitude," Dunley thought.
You must deploy your parachute at the maximum altitude, otherwise you will still fall to your death. On October 8, 2013, at 3 pm, during the second World Wingsuit Flying Championship, a Hungarian athlete tragically fell to his death in the mountains during a test flight at Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie because his parachute failed to deploy before landing.
Soon, Dunli's expression changed; Chen Yang had not yet opened his parachute.
"This guy is incredibly bold!"
Carrying a large dog on his back and daring to land at extreme altitudes, that's truly suicidal.
Wingsuit flying is considered the ultimate extreme sport, and there are probably no more than a thousand people worldwide who participate in this type of unpowered wingsuit flying. That's roughly one in ten million, and especially in China, the number is even smaller.
"Madman," Dunley muttered to himself, but just as he was about to continue filming, a gust of air made the plane a little unstable.
He quickly focused on piloting the plane and kept it stable. He was already some distance away from Chen Yang when he looked back and saw that Chen Yang had already landed and didn't seem to be in any danger.
"Holy crap, how did you do that?!" Dunli cursed.
He truly hadn't expected Chen Yang to land safely.
Moreover, he missed this crucial moment.
"Fortunately, we had a backup plan."
He installed a dynamic tracking camera on the bottom of the plane, which locked onto Chen Yang the moment he ejected.
He took out his phone and connected it to a camera while flying the plane. (Children who can fly planes, please do not imitate this.)
In the video, Chen Yang opened his parachute when he had missed the maximum altitude by about a third, and then landed naturally. I didn't see any particularly advanced techniques.
"How is that possible?" Dunli was completely baffled and wished he could turn back immediately to ask Chen Yang.
However, it's not possible now. Chen Yang has only just landed near the pole and hasn't reached the pole yet. We need to let Chen Yang go to the pole to take a few pictures before we go to pick him up.
Dunley had a million questions swirling in his mind.
However, Chen Yang was destined to be unable to answer him.
He was able to spiral downwards because he could control the wind, so he remained stable while carrying the European Emperor. He missed the limit altitude because he didn't have a concept of the limit altitude; he only opened it when he felt it was about time.
In fact, even if he didn't deploy the wingsuit's parachute, he could still land in the Arctic environment. With his deflection skills and physical strength, he would only need to glide for a short distance to land.
His ability is too great, not his skill; it's something that can't be copied or taught.
Chen Yang landed some distance from the pole. He stood up, brushed off the ice shards, and took Ou Huang off his back.
However, before he and the European Emperor could do anything, they were immediately surrounded by a group of people.
"My God, are you Chinese?"
This group of people were also Chinese, and they all exclaimed in surprise when they saw Chen Yang's face.
"Yes," Chen Yang replied.
"It's incredible that we Chinese have someone as amazing as you. You must have grown up abroad," a girl said in surprise.
Chen Yang glanced at her, not wanting to answer. Although the atmosphere surrounding extreme sports in China wasn't great, her saying it made it sound like China was in a bad light.
"I need to get to the extreme point, please make way."
Chen Yang put his wingsuit flying equipment mask back on; he had noticed this group of people while he was in the air.
Fortunately, his landing was sudden, and Dunley's flight altitude wasn't high, so the group didn't have time to film. Only one person who was already holding a phone managed to capture some footage. However, this doesn't prove anything; Chen Yang was careful not to let them film his face.
"Hey, what's your name? Let's get to know each other," the girl said again.
Chen Yang ignored them. He figured it was probably a tour group. You could take an icebreaker directly to the North Pole, and tour groups did come occasionally, but not often. Unlike Antarctica, where there's a continent to explore and penguins to see.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. How can you be so rude?"
As the girl spoke, she came up and tried to pull Chen Yang away.
Just then, the European Emperor suddenly turned around, looked at her, his body slightly hunched, and a low growl came from his throat.
The girl froze, hesitant to move forward out of fear.
The European Emperor glanced at her disdainfully, then turned and left, while Chen Yang never looked back and kept walking forward.
The girl quickly came to her senses and realized that she had been looked down upon by a dog.
For some reason, she could really sense the dog's emotions—contempt and arrogance.
"It must be an illusion... I was just scared, that's why I had this illusion," the girl said to herself.
"Yili, ignore him. I think he's a lunatic. Otherwise, why would he want to do wingsuit flying?"
One of the young boys in the group said, "But that dog is pretty cool. I've never seen this breed before."
"If you like it, just buy it," another person said as they walked by.
“Okay, I’ll buy it from him later,” the boy said with a smile, as if he hadn’t even considered whether Chen Yang would sell it or not.
Yili wanted to say that there was something wrong with the dog, but then she thought about it and realized that there didn't seem to be anything wrong. Even if the dog really showed emotions, it meant that it was smart, and it couldn't be that it had become a spirit.
