Chapter 716: Dull Brain
The second mate's exclamation attracted everyone's attention. No one knew what had happened because before they had time to look up, they heard the terrible sound of falling into the water.
Someone fell into the water.
This was everyone’s first reaction.
Will he die?
This was everyone’s second reaction.
The chainsaw fell on the ice, making a high-frequency vibration sound.
The sailor did not fall into the water immediately. He landed on his back and fell heavily to the ground. Then, under the action of gravity, he slid uncontrollably into the ice cave.
The cold stimulated everyone's thinking to slow down. After a short period of stagnation, someone finally thought of saving people. The second mate took off his coat and was about to jump into the water, but an extremely long black shadow slid out faster than him.
That’s right, it was slipping. The second mate felt that he must be in a trance.
The extremely fast figure stretched out his arm. The man was tall and had long arms, and with one grab, he had the beauty of a monkey's arms stretched out lightly. He directly grabbed the arm of the sailor who was still lying on the shore and pulled him to a stop!
“Cheer up!”
Bifang suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone finally sobered up a little after hearing the shouting.
The second mate did not stop, but rushed over and grabbed the sailor's other arm, and the two of them worked together to pull the sailor up.
When did Mr. Fang come here?
The second mate glanced around with lifeless eyes, and saw the sled still running. His brain was a little slow to react.
Did it jump out of the sled?
In contrast to the second mate's trance, the audience burst into cheers and a drone recorded the entire process.
At the moment the sailor stepped on the ice, Bifang happened to be driving a sled over. When he saw the ice break and was about to slip, he pulled the reins hard and turned the sled 90 degrees. Under the whip effect, the sled was thrown away. Bifang took the opportunity to swoop out, slid to the edge of the ice cave, and caught the sailor who fell into the sea in time.
【cool!】
[Lao Fang's reaction speed is amazing, just like 007]
[This move is so well played! ]
At this moment, Bifang did not bother to respond to the audience's boasting. The two of them pulled the sailor who fell into the water ashore. Gradually, people reacted and gathered around in fear.
The sailor who fell into the water opened his eyes wide, but his pupils shrank extremely small. He held on to Bifang and the second mate tightly with both hands. He did not shout, as if he had lost his voice, and even his chest stopped rising and falling, as if he had stopped breathing.
It was completely dark in front of his eyes, and he had no idea what was happening. Until a few minutes later, the coldness transmitted from his lower body gradually restored the sailor's vision, and the night sky dotted with white spots reappeared.
The blocked throat was finally able to shout out, and a sharp roar broke out on the ice field.
The second mate, who was preparing to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, originally thought that the sailor had suddenly gone into shock due to the stimulation of the cold water. He was shocked. He was relieved when he saw the sailor's chest rising again and he was breathing heavily.
I'm not afraid of a reaction, I'm afraid of no reaction.
Seeing that the sailor was still reacting, the onlookers came to their senses and came closer to take a closer look.
At this time, the surface of the sailor's moccasins was covered with a layer of ice, and the thick stockings covered his calves like iron armor. The laces of the moccasins were a tangled mess like a pile of iron bars that had been burned to pieces by a fire.
The second mate tried to pull it a few times with his numb fingers, but immediately realized the folly of doing so.
Bifang on the other side directly pulled out his sheath knife, inserted the knife into the tongue of the shoe, cut all the laces, and then peeled off the entire shoe along both sides, and did the same with the other one.
Bifang, who was handling the wet clothes, looked up and down and found that the clothes above the sailor's abdomen were not wet. "It's nothing serious. Only the lower body is soaked. The upper body is fine. The core body temperature has not dropped. It's just a little uncomfortable. You need to change clothes quickly. You should have brought spare clothes, right?"
The second mate nodded and quickly had a spare set of clothes taken from the snowmobile.
These clothes are designed to prevent people from falling into the water. In addition, they also provide warmth and charcoal fire.
After taking off his clothes, the sailor put on a thin thermal blanket. It is called a thermal blanket, but it is actually just a layer of tin foil, but it is indeed a very important piece of equipment.
When it is cold, wrapping it around your body or parts that are susceptible to frostbite can reflect the heat emitted by the human body and achieve the effect of keeping warm. The effect is extremely strong. It is neither airtight nor heat-insulating. Apart from being easy to break, it has no other disadvantages.
Seeing that the sailors had begun the rescue in an orderly manner, Bifang stood up, gave up his seat, and also gave an explanation.
"In cold regions, a thermal blanket is very important. It can effectively prevent injury or death caused by hypothermia and is a must-have item."
"And when you see a patient wrapped in a thermal blanket, it can indicate that the person has been injured and has received primary first aid. Even wrapping the thermal blanket around the patient can help rescuers find their target by using its reflective effect."
"It's just that because it's just a layer of tinfoil, it breaks easily."
A bonfire was quickly set up on the ice field. The sailor who fell into the water warmed himself up and finally regained some spirits.
The second mate was a little annoyed. It would be , but how could something happen to a sailor?
The sailor was ashamed: "I didn't know why at the time, my body moved first, and by the time I reacted, I had already slipped."
"Don't think too much. It's not your fault. Nothing went wrong, right? And in extreme cold, the human brain does become more dull."
Bifang poured the boiling water into the kettle, handed it to the sailor and said with a smile.
"The inertia caused by cold is very different from the neurological disorder caused by the core body temperature dropping to a certain level. It is a normal reaction. The colder it is, the more inert it is. There are many reasons, but the main two are."
"One is that when the weather gets cold, people's demand for calories increases, which is reflected in their appetite and their preference for foods high in sugar and fat. The consequence is that blood viscosity increases, blood flow slows down, including blood flow to the brain, and people become lazy and their thinking ability deteriorates."
"Besides, the cold can cause poor peripheral circulation of blood vessels, which affects the blood supply to the brain, which is also one of the reasons. Secondly, the sense of touch becomes less sensitive. It may seem like nothing, but when these conditions are combined, it is easy to make the brain dull, and the actions are one step faster than the thoughts. It doesn't mean that you won't do something just because you know you shouldn't do it."
Several tourists around suddenly realized.
The sailor scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed: "I'm so sorry for causing trouble to everyone."
"Forget it, I'm glad nothing happened." The second mate waved his hand, no longer struggling, "Take a break and go back to the ship. If anyone is not feeling well, don't force yourself to do it. There is no need to force yourself. It will not be good for all of us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people present looked at each other, and then two more people raised their hands, two tourists and two sailors.
"That's perfect. Five people on one motorcycle. Let's go back quickly."
The few of them did not insist any longer, and gradually disappeared on the ice field with the crew members who fell into the water.
