Chapter 1547: Minus 24 degrees Celsius


The o2 team members climbed up the steel beams one by one, where they were on a small platform three meters wide and six meters long. In fact, it is not a platform deliberately left, but an extra section when erecting steel beams. Because it is between the offshore platform and the sea, it is the same position as a suspended platform.
Fortunately, this location is also very hidden. Whether it is on the platform or the supply ship not far away, it is difficult to find this blind spot. How to make use of this position was the plan that Lin Rui and others thought about many times.
After climbing up, the players panted. Lin Rui leaned on the cold steel frame and quickly slapped the water marks on his body. In such a cold sea breeze, if you do not dry yourself, the surface of the diving suit will soon freeze. They all dried themselves quickly, then opened the waterproof bag and put on the winter clothes.
Because the underwater temperature is higher than the surface, they still don't feel cold underwater. But after the water came out, in the harsh sea breeze, the body temperature dropped sharply, and he had to put on warm clothes immediately. The team members were huddled together in heavy winter clothes. Lin Rui did not remove the hood of the wetsuit. In this case, an extra layer of gel coat protection is also good.
What's more, the human head is the easiest to radiate heat. He just continued to cover it with his heavy winter clothes and hat, and the team members also followed him.
Lin Rui connected to Kebain's communication, "Kebain, can you hear? Test the signal, we have successfully reached the designated location, what time is it now?"
"I can hear you, and even see the crazy horse in front of you through your battlefield recorder, although the network transmission delay is severe. God, you look really embarrassed." Cobain whispered, "Really Fortunately, we are just a technical support team and don’t have to suffer with you."
"Okay, I need to know how long is the supply ship going to finish?" Lin Rui whispered.
"They only replenish once every very long time, so the speed is not fast. It is estimated that you will have to endure three hours or more." Cobain replied.
"Okay." Lin Rui looked back at the players and said helplessly.
"How is your situation?" Lin Rui turned to look at the players.
Crazy Horse turned purple with cold. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk too much to avoid burning calories."
"This is the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life, blowing the sea breeze in the Arctic Ocean." Sandro smiled bitterly.
"It's just the Bering Sea, there is still a gap from the Arctic Ocean." Lin Rui smiled bitterly, and every word he said was hot. "Sit tighter to each other, it's good for keeping your body temperature. Damn, it was in West Siberia when it was so cold last time."
Due to the needs of special actions, the o2 players have been doing quite intense exercises. Therefore, their physical condition is excellent, and the proportion of fat and muscle in the body is maintained at the best condition. But at this moment, Lin Rui suddenly began to admire Long Zhengwu's fat body. At least people with higher body fat are more resistant to freezing.
"You know, guys, I suddenly start to envy Fatty Long's body. If this guy is wrapped in a diving suit, he feels like a plump seal." Lin Rui joked.
"He? Where is he a seal, he is simply a walrus." Sergey laughed.
"Hey, tap it." Crazy Horse said dissatisfiedly.
"It's okay, even if he shouts hoarsely in such a big sea breeze, no one can hear him." Jiang An whispered, "Damn, we only came up for a while, and these water trails have frozen. Guess there are now. What degree?"
"It's minus 24 degrees Celsius." Lin Rui looked at his watch, "The body temperature is 36 degrees, which is barely normal. But if the temperature is lower than 35 degrees, we will be in danger. Everyone has to. Pay attention to your body temperature. Avoid hypothermia symptoms."
Hypothermia, also known as hypothermia and hypothermia, is a symptom in which the body temperature drops below the temperature required for normal metabolism and physiological functions. For warm-blooded animals, core body temperature is usually maintained at a constant level through the body's homeostasis.
However, when the body is exposed to a cold environment, this internal mechanism may no longer be able to replenish the heat lost in the environment. When the body temperature drops below 35c, it will cause hypothermia. Severe hypothermia often has symptoms such as disturbance of consciousness, stiff neck, drop in blood pressure, bradycardia or irregular heartbeat.
This is very deadly for combatants. They only stayed for ten minutes, but their body temperature kept dropping. The main reason is that this position is too special. It is completely in the position directly blown by the sea breeze. And limited to the terrain, it is difficult to move around. Several team members could not help standing up and stomping because their feet were numb.
"It can't go on like this, we will lose combat effectiveness if we don't go into battle." 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 rations." Lin Rui whispered, "good stuff to add calories. I specially asked Aladdin to prepare it."
"It's impossible for food to work so quickly, except for some wine." Sergey smiled reluctantly, the Russian was very cold.
"This thing is not like your Yankees' chocolate peas and mre rations. Not only for eating, but also for heating." Lin Rui smiled, "09-style self-heating food, a serious Chinese product. With a heating pack, it will heat up immediately after encountering water within 3-5 seconds. The temperature is as high as 150c, and the steam temperature will be higher. The longest holding time can reach 3 hours, and it will be hot to the hand."
Lin Rui added water to a bag and pressed it with his hands, and soon there was heat. Crazy Horse immediately grabbed it, "God, this is the best thing I have ever seen. My fingers are almost unconscious."
"There are not many things, one per person. The food is fried rice. After heating, you can eat it while it is hot. The heating bag can keep you warm. We still have three long hours to support. Keep the body from freezing, especially the hands and feet. Low temperature frostbite , Even more troublesome than burns." Lin Rui whispered.
"Great." Sergey kept moving his hands and feet holding the food. "Eating hot food is the best way to keep warm. Why didn't I think of this trick."
"Because you secretly held vodka in your arms, don't think I don't know. You know the rules, you can't drink during the mission." Lin Rui looked at him.
"Well, I'm just to keep warm. I swear." Sergey sighed.
"Only people who are mentally ill will believe a Russian drunkard's oath. But this time it is a special case, not the next." Lin Rui shook his head.
"Rick, did anyone say that you are a great captain?" Sergey raised the hip flask. "To the captain."
