Chapter 295 Helicopter Landing
Chu Qiao put the difficulty of this goal behind his mind: "This time I will go on an expedition to Iceland, and the tools I will bring are these."
Director Xiao's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Chu Qiao to choose this place.
Iceland is located in the Ice Country, on the edge of the Arctic Circle. Its inland is mainly plains, with sandy land, cooled lava plains and glaciers distributed throughout the country. Due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it is also a country with many volcanoes and frequent geological activities.
"That place is full of dangers and the climate is unpredictable. People are often caught off guard."
"Director Xiao, wilderness survival is a test of your courage in desperate situations, isn't it?"
Director Xiao was choked by Chu Qiao's words: "What about transportation, helicopter?"
"Yes, helicopters are faster. Once we get there, we'll descend to Iceland using a high-altitude descent. Our goal is to cross the icebergs, get out of the mountains and forests, and reach a small town with people."
Everyone knows that Iceland is sparsely populated. It takes a long time to walk out after landing on the top of the mountain. During this period, there is no food or water. Can this woman do it?
Director Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Chu Qiao turned around and said, "By the way, was it Director Xiao who arranged the helicopter, or was it Coke who arranged it?"
Director Xiao said to the staff behind him, "Arrange a helicopter."
Chu Qiao suddenly stopped and said, "Director Xiao, since you want to broadcast live, I don't care if you broadcast it on TV. I also want to broadcast it in my own studio. My fans have been waiting for me for a long time."
Wan Shengfeng didn't expect Chu Qiao to make another request. After hesitating for a while, he agreed, "Okay."
The helicopter arrived about two hours later, which was considered fast even though it was not arranged in advance.
Chu Qiao boarded the helicopter, accompanied by Director Xiao and two photographers, Xiao Wang and Mo Li.
These three people are worthy of being an outdoor program, and their expressions were relatively calm in the helicopter.
It takes three hours to reach Iceland.
Chu Qiao squinted his eyes and opened the system to understand the geographical structure of Iceland.
The original owner knew very little about that place.
Iceland is located in the northern part of the Ice Country near the Arctic Circle. The entire country is a bowl-shaped plateau, surrounded by coastal mountains and a central plateau. Most of the country is plateaus, ranging in height from 400 to 800 meters, with individual peaks reaching 1,300 to 1,700 meters. The highest peak in the Ice Country is Vanad (2,119 meters). The lowlands are very small, with marine plains and glacial alluvial plains dotting the west and southwest.
There are over 100 volcanoes in Iceland.
The Ice Kingdom has the most hot springs in the world, so it is called the "Land of Ice and Fire".
Huanada, this is the starting point of this trip.
Chu Qiao familiarized himself with the information and maps as quickly as possible.
In the afternoon, Chu Qiao saw endless white mountain tops below the white air currents. Unlike the snow-capped mountains, the glaciers in Iceland were not very high in altitude.
Chu Qiao opened the live broadcast room and summoned a drone.
Chu Qiao hadn't done a live broadcast for half a month. As soon as everyone heard that she was going to start a live broadcast, they immediately spread the word. In less than ten minutes, the number of people watching had reached 2 million.
Chu Qiao lowered his throat and looked towards the camera:
"Hello, fans online and friends watching TV, I'm Chu Qiao. My eighth survival mission is about to begin. This time, there's no announcement, so it's a bit sudden. I'm honored to be invited to join the Outdoor Channel on this spontaneous adventure."
"This time we chose Iceland as our mission location. Iceland has the most volcanoes in the world and is also covered with glaciers. It is truly a place of ice and fire. Next, I will embark on a five-day wilderness survival mission. Beidou TV's outdoor screens will be broadcasting and monitoring the entire process. I hope to share this adventure with everyone."
Chu Qiao finished speaking and said to Director Xiao: "Director Xiao, I'm going to rappel, do you want to join me?"
Countless netizens and audiences in front of the screen are waiting for the answer from the number one outdoor director.
Director Xiao didn't expect this little girl to be waiting for him here. Before Chu Qiao could even laugh, he said, "You two will land with the plane later. Put a camera on my head and I'll go down with her."
Chu Qiao thought he didn't dare, and was just being petty and making fun of Director Xiao, but he didn't expect...
She instantly felt that she shouldn't have mentioned it, in case something happened. This was the ace director of the outdoor channel of Beidou TV.
"Director, there's no need to work so hard. I'll go down and wait for you."
"I was asked by netizens to supervise you, and I did what I said."
Chu Qiao saw that he was serious and he was not joking, so he said seriously: "Then I will go first."
Chu Qiao entered the state, looking at the screen while pointing at the rope hanging from the helicopter: "It's called rappelling, but it's actually called helicopter rappelling. There are generally three altitudes for rappelling: less than 75 feet, 75 to 150 feet, and more than 150 feet."
"Today we are going to rappel from a height of about 100 feet. Most people lose their ability to perceive altitude at a height of 34 feet, so people with acrophobia and vertigo should never try rappelling."
Chu Qiao fastened his safety belt and took out his own rope to tie it around his hands.
Director Xiao stopped her: "Use this." Director Xiao took out gloves and a helmet from behind: "I want you to survive in the wilderness, not to torture you."
Chu Qiao's lips curled up. This guy is not as annoying as I imagined.
The system in his head didn't make any sound, indicating that the mission hadn't started yet. Chu Qiao put on his helmet and gloves without worrying about it.
Chu Qiao looked at the camera again: "Before rappelling, be sure to check the hook, rappelling base, rappelling lake ring and other equipment again and again."
Chu Qiao threw the rope outward and saw the retractable end touch the ice surface.
She stretched out her legs.
The live broadcast room barrage suddenly bombarded the screen like a bomb:
【Chu, be careful. 】
[Isn't this safe without a parachute?]
My legs are shaking, what should I do?
[Can that old man do it later? ]
Director Xiao looked at everyone's conversations on the live broadcast phone and glared: "Don't worry, I will definitely follow."
Chu Qiao smiled and shook his head. This old man was really stubborn.
While thinking, Chu Qiao had already reached the door of the helicopter. The camera followed her gaze and looked down. Most people felt dizzy.
Chu Qiao turned around and faced the inside of the helicopter.
Her feet were in line with her shoulders, her knees were tucked in, and her waist was bent towards the helicopter.
Chu Qiao bent his knees, pushed hard to detach himself from the helicopter's skid rope, passed it through his hands, and began to descend.
Chu Qiao controlled the speed of descent, descending 8 feet per second, and it would take about a minute and a half to complete.
To the people in the live broadcast room, time seemed to pass very quickly, but Chu Qiao himself felt that time was passing by every second and everything was under control.
Chu Qiao looked at the ice surface. She was already halfway down. She had to slow down. She turned her brake hand with the back of her hand facing outward, reducing the tension on the rope and adjusting the speed of descent.
Chu Qiao's speed slowed down and he slowly landed on the ground.
