Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 236 Drifting is actually... very fun!
"Walking through the Grand Canyon, of course we can't have the opportunity to cross the canyon and rivers with bare hands. We choose to walk through the other side of the Grand Canyon."

"So we have to go to the starting point first."

"And the method we choose is drifting."

Lin Xuan led the way, while Chen Guangxiao was always choosing camera angles.

And An Luyao and Mu Xue Zhuoma also brought a lot of things.

If it was the beginning of this program, two little girls would not be able to do this.

From the top of the Grand Canyon to the river in the canyon, there is a height difference of hundreds of meters.

But in fact, the way down is quite easy to find.

The Grand Canyon terrain has been torn apart by rivers for tens of millions of years.

If you can find the river here, you can find the way down.

Of course, it is also very possible to find the dead end road. When you get to the end, the exit is at the middle height of the cliff.

To find a way, it depends on the level of the individual.

Lin Xuan is too familiar with the roads near the Grand Canyon.

After all, Lin Xuan has crossed the Grand Canyon countless times in the past few years practicing off-road motorcycles in Earth Star.

Although this is Blue Star, there are gaps in the specific details of the landform, especially the gap in man-made destruction.

But generally it is about the same.

And you don't need to know the specific terrain, as long as you have the experience of finding the way, you can find the way.

"When I go to the valley, I can actually find any way to go down."

"But considering the girls in the team, we need to find a better way to go."

For rock climbers, as long as there is a narrow opening, they can go down.

But that is with hands, there is climbing, not walking with feet.

However, Lin Xuan quickly found his way down.

Go in the direction of the original river mouth first, and then look for traces of water flow.

This is the Grand Canyon, with serious soil erosion.

It is not that it does not rain. Once there is heavy rain upstream and the water retention capacity of the downstream is poor, it will directly cause a major flood.

Therefore, although the open waterway is dry, it will actually be very large.

It is easy to find waterways during the high water season by looking for traces of water transporting stones and silt.

Lin Xuan quickly found one.

Go down with a few people.

[The scenery here is really beautiful, but the weather is probably a bit unbearable. 】

[Actually, it’s okay, the place where the sun is directly shining is uncomfortable, and the place where the sun is not directly shining is cooler, and our local people sometimes go in to play. 】

[It's quite fun, but... there are many snakes. 】

So, some people are crow mouths.

A barrage like this just appeared on the barrage.

A few people encountered a rattlesnake.

It's just a smaller prairie rattlesnake.

Chen Guangxiao was walking with the camera on his shoulders, when he saw the rattlesnake, he quickly pointed the camera at the rattlesnake.

Lin Xuan: "Shhh, extra meal."

Now that we have entered the rhythm of wild challenges, this place is not easy to find food.

An Luyao was a little scared: "What kind of snake is this snake? Is it poisonous?"

"Be careful, do we really want to eat snakes?"

Lin Xuan has already walked up: "Don't be afraid, reptiles like snakes have good explosive power, no stamina, and no vision."

What Lin Xuan said was the truth. If you find a way, things like snakes are easy to deal with.

However, it is also easy to overturn.

However, within the army, there is a unique method of catching snakes. After training, there will be absolutely no problems.

This method is very direct, just grab the snake's tail and shake it off, shaking off the snake's joints.

Snakes have no other extra bones, but a spine that connects them to the end.

As long as the joints are shaken, it is equivalent to losing the ability to move, that is, paralysis.

The key to this movement is pure strength.

Therefore, it is the method used in the army.

On the screen of the program, subtitles were also displayed [Dangerous behavior, non-professionals should not imitate]
Lin Xuan's movements were also quick, and he directly caught the tail of the prairie rattlesnake.

The rattlesnake's reaction was quite quick, and it turned around and wanted to bite Lin Xuan's hand.

Unfortunately, its head is getting farther and farther away from its tail.

Its head is indeed moving in this direction, but well, its tail is moving faster.

Before the prairie rattlesnake could react, it had already been thrown several times in the air by the wheel.

This huge centrifugal force is not something that a snake's muscles and joints can withstand.

However, Lin Xuan didn't just stop, but turned it onto a stone.

This time it's completely dead.

Lin Xuan raised his hand and pulled out the outdoor knife from his waist, and cut off the snake's head with one blow.

It's that easy.

[Is this the end? 】

[Is that how you catch snakes?so fierce? 】

[This is to shake the snake's joints apart. Of course, if you catch it and sell it, you can't catch it like this, and it will kill you if you catch it like this. 】

Lin Xuan took out the food bag, immediately skinned the snake, and packed it up.

"This snake has to be treated at high temperature for a long time. This animal in the wild is full of parasites."

"But if it's cooked, parasites equal high protein."

When Chen Guangxiao saw Lin Xuan doing this, he raised his hands, so he wanted to end his life and get over his hand addiction.

A group of people continued to descend from the gentle slope of the waterway.

Muxue Zhuoma: "Boss, this is the channel of the flood, right?"

Lin Xuan walked ahead: "Yes."

Muxue Zhuoma: "Is it possible that there was a heavy rain just upstream, and now there is a flood coming?"

Lin Xuan was even amused: "That doesn't rule out this possibility."

Mu Xue Zhuoma's eyes widened: "Then I think we should go faster!"

Chen Guangxiao: "Boss is kidding you, before we did the live broadcast, we read the weather forecast and did some planning, okay?"

Lin Xuan pointed to the cliff cut by the waterway: "There are caves and crevices everywhere. When the flood comes, just find a place to hide."

The group soon reached the river.

Lin Xuan also brought over a rafting kayak and a life jacket.

The river here is very wide, but the drop is not particularly large.

The main reason is that there is no small waterfall drop, it is not particularly dangerous, and there is no risk of capsizing.

Several people can swim, even Muxue Zhuoma has recently learned to swim.

There is no extreme situation of not being able to water, and after wearing safety equipment, safety is still guaranteed.

"The river here is relatively shallow, there are still shallow talks, there are scattered stones, downhill rafting is more exciting, you are ready."

This river, going downstream, has a depth of about 18 meters.

In this section, there are shallow places of one or two meters.

Many stones come out of water.

However, the characteristic of drifting is that the boat will follow the water, and there is basically no danger of directly hitting the rocks.

Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao sat at the front respectively.

The left and right sides can use paddles to push stones to avoid collisions.

"Are you ready?"

The video is split into two perspectives.

One is the sky, and the aerial camera is taking pictures.

One is to put a GoPro on the bow.

Of course Chen Guangxiao's camera had to be taken down at this time.

It's not that the equipment is broken, it's mainly because of the drifting state, it's impossible to shoot handheld.

After the four people entered the position of the drifting boat, Lin Xuan pushed the boat away with the oars.

Borrowing the buoyancy of the water, the boat slowly started to float from touching the ground to full draft.

What is scary is not the speed of the ship, but the change of the speed of the ship.

Under the lens of the aerial camera, the drifting boat began to accelerate.

But immediately slowed down again.

From the perspective of GoPro, it accelerated first, and then plunged into the water.

And An Luyao and Mu Xue Zhuoma were both screaming.

This is just the beginning, not yet.

Next, the official drifting began.

The orange rafting boat drifts in the current.

Every time it looked like the kayak was about to hit the boulders ahead.

However, the current is also turning the drifting boat.

The speed of water changes is related to the river topography.

The speed change of the drifting boat is also related to the terrain, but the feedback speed is different.

When the water flow is blocked by the stones in front, it will form a vortex, which will slow down and exit the gorge. Once out of the gorge, it will immediately become a flat river and accelerate rapidly.

The deceleration of the ship is not as fast as that of water, so it will rush to the gorge formed by the stone at a very fast speed.

Then because it couldn't squeeze through, it slowed down instantly.

When everyone loses their center of gravity, they will press forward.

With this pressure, the drifting boat had to draft forward.

In this way, the artificial big wave will surge backwards, rush into the boat, and hit the body and face.

Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao were fine, Mu Xue Zhuoma and An Luyao screamed again and again.

Chen Guangxiao: "This thing is very suitable for amusement projects, it is a bit similar to the one in the playground."

Lin Xuan smiled: "In the scenic river section with more people, it is indeed possible to do amusement projects in suitable places."

But amusement rides and extreme sports are two different things.

Can biking down the street be the same thing as biking up the ridge of the Grand Canyon?

Of course not.

Under the lens, the drifting process is extremely exciting.

However, the audience cannot see the reaction of the people and does not know the situation of the drifting.

It's just that the camera looks like it's about to hit a boulder every time, then suddenly slows down, and then the face is covered with water.

After waiting, it was another map of Pingchuan.

[It looks very exciting, but I can't see clearly. 】

[Why not put the camera on the back of the kayak so you can see the whole picture. 】

[Put it in the back and it will be blocked by people. 】

Lin Xuan had thought about this problem a long time ago, so he turned the GoPro 180 degrees during the march.

This is the picture of the inside of the drifting boat.

And the picture can also capture the water flow on both sides of the kayak.

With such a turn of the head, the degree of thrills seemed even more exaggerated.

The audience originally thought that the camera hit the rock, and the sensory stimulation given to them was already very strong.

But I didn't expect that it was even more terrifying after not seeing the stone.

In the footage of the camera, the four people in the entire drifting boat have been ups and downs and swaying.

The sky is exposed on the left side of the camera, while the right side can see that the drifting boat is almost at right angles to the water surface, and it is almost about to roll over.

In the next second, the drifting jig fell in another direction, almost flipping to the left.

Before the audience had time to panic, the entire drifting boat braked, and the bow of the boat entered the water and the stern tilted up.

The entire camera is submerged in the water, and the angle of the stern cover can be vaguely seen, as if it is about to turn over directly. .

The next moment, the audience clearly saw that the water on both sides disappeared, and the entire drifting boat vacated!
[Damn, is it so exciting! 】

The thrill of the sport is not at all the possibility of crashing the boat, nor is it the speed of the current.

What stimulates is change.

The rafting boat drifts with the current and keeps changing, and the people sitting on it are also bumping back and forth.

The controllable and predictable changes in the amusement park have been unacceptable to many people.

This kind of unpredictable and uncontrollable change seems to be fatal every time.

Every viewer sees such a picture, their body will secrete adrenaline hormone.

The cerebral cortex continuously generates electrical stimulation.

This kind of stimulation is not a psychological stimulation, but a physical stimulation, which is inevitable.

Because it is a live broadcast and immersive, the stimulation is very strong, not much worse than the direct experience.

Even, because there is no way to see the front, no way to feel the water flow, no way to feel the temperature, no sense of information, the stimulation will feel even weirder.

The aerial camera of the live footage is also lowering its altitude.

Came to the upper rear of the drifting boat.

Everyone's discomfort has only partially disappeared.

Because it's God's perspective.

And after the distance is close, the combination of God's perspective and experience perspective, and after the brain can judge information, the discomfort disappears a lot.

And more is the psychological stimulation.

[Damn, it's really exciting! 】

[Ouch, the whole thing is flying! 】

[C'mon, c'mon, the boat is going to capsize! 】

[I was scared to death, the drifting boat hit a little bit and went out, I thought it was going to capsize and hit a rock directly. 】

Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao's control is very strong.

Chen Guangxiao has never done the sport of downhill rafting on a drifting boat.

But when he was a special soldier, there was a drifting boat training program, so he had never played this sport in name, but he was actually familiar with it all.

The two took the lead, and An Luyao and Mu Xue Zhuoma didn't need to row the boat at this stage, so they just offered to scream.

Of course, it was also their screams that made the whole rafting experience more intuitive to the audience.

[I can't take it anymore!This is too thrilling. 】

【If it's me, the ship must capsize, right? 】

In fact, most of the time, this is an illusion.

Because the boat follows the current, as long as it does not move around, it will not capsize.

The real challenge is the continuously changing gorge.

This requires technical actions to correct the hull to avoid capsizing.

The difficulty of doing this challenge in this river course is not high, at most it is three or four points challenging.

But in the eyes of the audience, this is already very exciting.

Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao are also showing their evasion skills as much as possible.

The most indispensable thing in this world is a person who suppresses the spirit of challenge in his heart.

They don't know what kind of river they will find to challenge one day. Any novice in sports is always timid and cautious, so there is no danger.

But in the advanced stage, problems are most likely to occur. As the saying goes, those who drown are those who can swim.

Therefore, Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao showed their technical moves as much as possible, and expanded what they had to learn.

When they have learned the basics, they are actually already a master of the middle school, and there will not be too many problems.

This is actually the same as the domestic driver's license test.

In many places abroad, when you take the driver's license test, you just drive a car and go for a walk, and then you pass.

However, there are many subjects in China, and they are tested hard.

Many people think that these test subjects are unnecessary because they feel that they are not needed.

In fact, the purpose of the driver's license test is not to let you get in touch with these technologies at all, but to make you familiar with the car and prolong the time for driving.

The more you practice, the less dangerous situations will be when you actually get started.

Many ordinary people seem to be meaningless things, but the effect behind them is unimaginable.

For example, there is a view on the Internet that, for the examination items of the second subject, it is not necessary to practice reversing and parking, but it is necessary to practice parking on the side.

Because there is no place for you to reverse your car into the garage at all on the road, side parking is more practical.

But why is the main test item of Section [-] is reversing and parking, and side parking is just a small subject?
Because backing into a garage isn't meant to teach you parking skills at all.

Instead, let the driver familiarize himself with the difference between driving on the left and driving on the right.

In the eyes of people who have no concept, the left and right directions are the same, but the difference is that the steering wheel changes the angle of the left and right.

Actually that's not the case at all.

Because the driver is not sitting in the middle of the car.

Of course, many people with a strong sense of direction learn it in a few strokes.

But this does not mean that everyone can quickly adapt to the left and right.

Therefore, each of these things has a profound effect and has been researched by specially assigned persons.

Not just the driving test, but many things in society are like this.

Ordinary people always find these things inconvenient.

But is it possible to be the rule-maker, for the sake of your life?

Lin Xuan is the same now, showing many technical moves that non-professional drifting players don't need at all.

The purpose is to enable amateur players who have just entered the industry to learn more and watch more, so as to avoid the tragedies of being overconfident and directly getting started, which may lead to injury or even death.

Moreover, there is also a benefit after showing more.

That is to let the audience understand the difficulty of the sport.

Those who really like this from the bottom of their hearts will still try it.

But it has prevented a large number of ordinary people from playing.

It also avoids the possibility of ordinary people being injured.

This is necessary.

"The hardest part is coming, be careful."

Chen Guangxiao: "Hurry up."

Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao can grasp the fixed safety handle on the rafting boat with one hand, and then use the other hand to row the paddle.

Mu Xue Zhuoma and An Luyao couldn't do it.

After Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao reminded, the two girls immediately grasped the safety grip.

The arc of the entire drifting boat has become larger.

The frequency of changes is also faster.

Sitting on it swayed back and forth, as if it might be thrown out at any time.

However, this is an illusion caused by too fast inertial changes, and it is actually not very powerful.

It is impossible for an adult's hand strength to be thrown away.

After all, the direction of inertia of the hull is the same as that of the human body.

There is no situation where the reaction force is too large.

At the last big gorge, Lin Xuan: "I can't control it, I'm going to spin, I'm careful to hold on tight."

"Don't let go under any circumstances."

"Otherwise I'll have to dive into the water to catch you in a while."

Both girls nodded.

This time, it was really out of control.

Current eddies are common in lower-level currents.

However, the vortex can be seen directly on the water surface, indicating that the water flow is very turbulent. The sudden change of direction and deceleration caused the water flow to rush over the gorge and start to swirl.

Therefore, it is even more impossible for a boat that decelerates more slowly to rush out, unless it is shot directly on the rocks in the gorge.

Therefore, the boat must turn around and slide out, or turn around, capsize and be washed out by the water.

Sure enough, after entering this terrain, the boat capsized and turned around.

Was rushed out sideways.

Both An Luyao and Mu Xue Zhuoma remembered Lin Xuan's words, so they never let go.

The capsizing of the boat was not due to the lack of buoyancy of the rafting boat, it was purely overwhelmed by the current.

After leaving the gorge, the power of the water flow disappeared immediately, and then turned back.

After Lin Xuan and Chen Guangxiao made sure that the two girls were there, they immediately turned around with their oars.

There are no shallow talks and boulder terrain ahead, and it is getting more and more open.

The current has calmed down.

"Wooo~" Chen Guangxiao yelled, "Come out!"

Listening to Chen Guangxiao howling, Lin Xuan felt that the sound Li Bai heard on both sides of the strait was not the howling of apes.

Maybe someone floated out and roared, and there was an echo from both sides of the bank.

"It's almost here."

"There is a big turn ahead, we are going to dock."

Here the river has become much wider.

It would be strenuous to paddle directly to the shore.

However, it is relatively simple to go directly to the shore along Dawaner.
