Chapter 687 Winter Swimming
On the cleaned ice surface, you can still clearly see white cracks spreading like spider webs. This river, which is completely blocked by ice cracks, exudes an astonishing chill.
Bi Xiang has always been a man who dares to think and do. To the surprise of the audience, he took off all his clothes and left only a pair of shorts.
The cold wind was still biting. When blown by the cold wind, the capillaries naturally had a physiological reaction and contracted rapidly to reduce the heat that overflowed. Bifang felt as if he was wrapped in a blanket that was as prickly as ice.
Not to mention swimming, it takes a lot of courage for a normal person to go into the water.
Every breath makes people feel uncomfortable, and the cold air pours straight into the lungs from the throat, as if every alveolus is condensed into a layer of frost in the low temperature. However, compared to being exposed to the cold wind, the next action will be even more chilling.
It has been more than two weeks since I came to the Arctic. The time has changed from mid-October to November. For people in most areas, this time is not too cold, but once it rains, wearing a shirt is not enough, and you can already feel a little chill.
Seeing what Bifang did at this time, many people subconsciously shrugged their shoulders and got goose bumps all over their bodies, as if they were the ones standing on the screen and being blown by the cold wind.
Especially when looking at the white ice surface from a first-person perspective, the coldness almost overflows, so cold that it is suffocating.
[Damn, I feel my teeth chattering.]
[Every time I see those people swimming in winter, I suspect they are aliens]
[Will you really not freeze to death? 】
There was a drizzle outside the window, and a slightly chilly wind blew into the office. Even though he was wearing a coat, Yao Jun couldn't help shivering and put down the cold drink in his hand.
You are amazing.
Yao Jun wrapped his coat tightly around him, which made him involuntarily take out his cell phone and flip through the contact list.
The night is extremely cold tonight, and he needs an older sister who has a broad mind and can warm people's hearts to watch the live broadcast together.
Ordinary audiences can only bear it alone with tears.
[Too powerful, Fang Shen is so awesome! ]
[What is a tough guy? (Tactical retreat)]
【Let me use my sincere heart to warm the ice! 】
Bifang held his breath and did not choose to jump directly into the ice from the shore, but walked up barefoot.
No one knows how strong the ice is. Even if there are cracks, if it isn't broken, if you jump on it rashly, you might slip and get hurt.
His feet quickly turned red due to the low temperature. Bifang shivered, then walked gently. When he reached the center of the river, the sound of the ice cracking sounded , like a piece of thin biscuit.
Tiny ice chips burst out along the huge crack. When it was about to reach its limit, Bifang tiptoed slightly, and finally exerted force, and the entire ice surface shattered.
“Crash.”
The clear river water rose and fell and splashed onto the ice surface, quickly forming a layer of frost.
Silver bubbles filled the entire world, and Bifang forced himself not to close his eyes.
It feels like there are ice spikes flowing through the blood vessels, further solidifying and expanding under the low temperature, and piercing the elastic blood vessels.
A cold and poisonous snake coiled up the spine along the coccyx, rising at an extremely fast speed and lurking deep in the brain.
It was as if an electric current was flowing through my body. I almost instinctively wanted to open my mouth to breathe, but my mouth was forcibly covered. Eventually, I inevitably swallowed a mouthful of river water.
The thermal conductivity of water is 30 times greater than that of air, which means that when a person is in water, the body dissipates heat 30 times faster than in air at the same temperature.
The temperature of cold water at 14 degrees Celsius feels like zero degrees.
Water at ten degrees Celsius feels like minus four degrees Celsius.
Eight degrees Celsius is the perceived cold temperature for winter swimming, but the physical sensation is just the opposite , which is minus eight degrees Celsius, giving people extreme feelings of severe cold, tingling, pain and numbness.
Most natural waters will begin to freeze at four degrees Celsius, which feels like minus sixteen degrees Celsius.
3℃ water temperature feels like -20℃.
2℃ water temperature feels like -24℃.
1℃ water temperature feels like -28℃.
0℃ water temperature feels like -30℃ or below.
In the Arctic, with temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, the frozen rivers are undoubtedly at the lowest level.
The biting cold almost froze Bifang's mouth, but the cold water flowing through his throat calmed him down.
Normal winter swimming undoubtedly requires warming up, exposing yourself from the comfortable temperature and awakening every cell and every pore of the body to adapt to the cold, but Bifang did not do that, because while swimming in winter, he also had to demonstrate how to survive by falling into water.
Without any rash action, Bi Fang just sank quietly in the water, and the silver bubbles in his sight slowly disappeared.
【Why isn't it moving? 】
[Nothing unexpected will happen, right?]
[I heard from someone that falling into cold water will cause a trunk reflex due to the stimulation of the cold water, causing you to hyperventilate continuously, causing your heart rate to increase rapidly, and possibly causing a short-term shock. Could it be that Lao Fang is in shock? ]
[Fang Shen, Fang Shen, are you still there? Fang Shen, if you can see me, blink.]
You can't see it even if I blink.
Bifang couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The first-person camera has an intelligent recognition function and can complete the picture by itself. Blinking continuously will not affect the audience's viewing angle at all, unless you close your eyes directly.
But in the face of the audience's concerns, Bifang still stretched out his five fingers and scratched, making an OK gesture, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him and he was still conscious.
This made many viewers breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was fine, but Bifang's motionless posture still aroused everyone's confusion.
Why not take action?
But Bifang did not keep everyone waiting too long. The first moment they entered the water was undoubtedly the biting cold, followed by an instinctive urge to breathe.
Therefore, the person who falls into the water must control his breathing and avoid gasping, and after a brief period of cold, he will have to face the danger of hypothermia.
Once excessive hypothermia occurs, life will also be in danger.
After the initial cold passes, the blood has to flow back and expand, sending out heat continuously. The glycogen in the body begins to break down in large quantities, while consuming a huge amount of oxygen.
But Bifang felt that he was feeling fine at this moment.
While remaining completely still, Bifang can stay underwater for more than eight minutes, which is a terrifying number for a normal person. It is also the result of Bifang's continuous improvement in physique, persistence in training, and exaggerated maximum oxygen uptake.
It's just that in cold water, the blood flows at a high speed to provide heating, so the time will undoubtedly be reduced, but three or four minutes is still very comfortable, but even so.
After feeling that the pain in his body was no longer so chilly, Bifang began to move. He first looked up, only to find that the cave where he fell into the water had disappeared at some point.
The audience's scalp suddenly felt numb.
Bifang was washed away by the river!
