Chapter 1547 - Twenty-four degrees Celsius

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The o2 team members climbed onto the steel beam one by one. The place they were on was a small platform three meters wide and six meters long.  In fact, it is not a platform deliberately set aside, but an extra section when the steel beams are erected.  Because it is between the offshore platform and the sea water, it is equivalent to a suspended platform.

    Fortunately, this location is also very hidden.  Whether it is on the platform or a supply ship not far away, it is difficult to find this blind spot.  How to use this position was a plan that Lin Rui and others came up with after pondering it many times.

    After climbing up, the team members were all panting.  Lin Rui leaned against the cold steel frame and quickly patted the water on his body.  In such a cold sea breeze, if you don't dry yourself, the surface of the diving suit will soon freeze.  They all dried themselves quickly, then opened their waterproof bags and put on their warm clothes.

    Because the temperature under water is higher than that of the surface, they don¡¯t feel cold underwater.  But after getting out of the water, in the biting sea breeze, the body temperature dropped sharply, so you must put on warm clothes immediately.  The team members were huddled together in heavy cold-weather suits. Lin Rui did not take off the hood of the wetsuit. In this case, it would be good to have an extra layer of gelcoat for protection.

    What's more, the head of the human body is the easiest to dissipate heat. He just continued to cover it with the thick winter clothing and hat, and the team members also followed his example.

    Lin Rui connected to Cobain's communication, "Cobain, can you hear it? Testing the signal, we have successfully arrived at the designated location, what time is it now?"

    "I can hear you, and I can even see Crazy Horse in front of you through your battlefield recorder, although the network transmission delay is severe. God, you guys look so embarrassed." Cobain whispered, "Really  Fortunately, we are just a technical support team and don't have to suffer along with you."

    "Okay, I need to know how long it will take for the supply ship to be completed?" Lin Rui whispered.

    "They replenish supplies every so long, so the speed can't be fast. I guess you'll have to endure it for three hours or more," Cobain replied.

    "Okay." Lin Rui looked back at the team members and said helplessly.

    "How are you doing?" Lin Rui looked back at the team members and asked.

    Crazy Horse's face turned purple from the cold. He shook his head and said, "I don't even want to talk too much, so as not to consume calories."

    "This is the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life, blowing the sea breeze in the Arctic Ocean." Sandro said with a wry smile.

    ¡°It¡¯s just the Bering Sea, there¡¯s still a gap between it and the Arctic Ocean.¡± Lin Rui said with a wry smile, breathing hot air every time he spoke.  "Sitting closer to each other is good for maintaining body temperature. Hell, the last time it was this cold was in damn Western Siberia."

    Due to the need for special operations, the o2 team members have been engaging in quite intense exercise.  Therefore, their physical condition is excellent, and the proportion of fat and muscle in their bodies is maintained at an optimal state.  But at this moment, Lin Rui suddenly began to envy Long Zhengwu's fat body.  At least people with higher body fat are more resistant to freezing.

    "You know, guys, I suddenly started to envy Fatty Long's body. If this guy was wrapped in a diving suit, he would look like a plump seal." Lin Rui joked.

    "He? He is not a seal, he is simply a walrus." Sergey laughed.

    "Hey, be gentle." Crazy Horse said dissatisfied.

    "It's okay, with such a strong sea wind, no one can hear him even if he shouts at the top of his lungs." Jiang An whispered, "Damn, we have only been up for a while, and these water traces have already frozen. Guess there are now  How many times?¡±

    "Minus twenty-four degrees Celsius." Lin Rui looked at his watch, "The body temperature is thirty-six degrees two, which is barely normal. But if the body temperature is lower than thirty-five degrees Celsius, we will be in danger, and everyone must  Watch your body temperature. Avoid symptoms of hypothermia."

    Hypothermia, also known as hypothermia and hypothermia, is a symptom in which the body temperature of an organism drops below the temperature required for normal metabolism and physiological functions.  In warm-blooded animals, core body temperature is usually maintained at a constant level through biological homeostasis.

    ¡°But when the body is exposed to a cold environment, this internal mechanism may no longer be able to replace the heat lost to the environment.  When the body temperature drops below 35C, hypothermia will occur.  Severe hypothermia often has symptoms such as disturbance of consciousness, stiff neck, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia or irregular heartbeat.

    This is very fatal to combatants.  They had only been there for ten minutes, but their body temperatures kept dropping.  The main reason is that this location is too special. It is directly hit by the sea breeze, and the wind hurts my face.  And it¡¯s limited to the terrain, making it difficult to move around.  Several team members couldn't help but stand up and stamp their feet because their feet were numb.

    ?"This can't continue like this. If we don't engage in battle, we will lose our combat effectiveness." Crazy Horse whispered.

    "Don't be nervous, we still have this." Lin Rui took out a few packages from the waterproof bag.

    "What is this?" Crazy Horse frowned.

    "Field military rations." Lin Rui whispered, "Good stuff to supplement calories. I asked Aladdin to prepare it specially."

    ¡°Eating food can¡¯t take effect so quickly, except for some wine.¡± Sergey said with a forced smile. This Russian guy was very cold.

    "This thing is not like those chocolate beans and mre rations you Americans have. It is not only for eating, but also for heating." Lin Rui smiled, "Type 09 individual soldier self-heating food, serious Chinese goods  . It has a heating pack, which heats up immediately within 3-5 seconds when it comes into contact with water. The temperature can reach over 150c, and the steam temperature will be even higher. The longest heat preservation time can be up to 3 hours, making it so hot that it will burn your hands."

    Lin Rui added water to a bag and pressed it with his hand, and soon it started to steam.  Crazy Horse grabbed it immediately, "God, this is the best thing I've ever seen. My fingers are almost numb."

    "There are not many things, one for each person. The food is fried rice. You can eat it while it is hot after heating. The heating bag can keep you warm. We still have three long hours to support. Keep your body from freezing, especially your hands and feet. Low temperature frostbite  , even more troublesome than burns." Lin Rui whispered.

    "Great." Sergey held the food and kept moving his hands and feet. "Eating hot food is the best way to keep warm. Why didn't I think of this trick?"

    "Because you secretly carried vodka in your arms, don't think I don't know. You know the rules and you can't drink during the mission." Lin Rui looked at him and said.

    ¡°Okay, I was just trying to keep warm. I swear.¡± Sergey sighed.

    "Only a mentally disturbed person would believe the oaths of a Russian drunkard. But this is a special case and will not happen next time." Lin Rui shook his head.

    "Rick, has anyone ever said you were a great captain?" Sergey raised the flask and said, "Here's to captain."
