Chapter 594: Chapter 393: 40,000-Meter Free Fall!!!
"Whoa, I didn’t realize it’s already this dangerous at this height!"
"Could it not be dangerous when it’s close to the altitude of Mount Everest?"
"I remember the average altitude in Fujian is 500 meters. Does this mean Wang Ye has already risen 4,500 meters?"
"That’s right, no accidents have happened so far, maintaining a speed of five to eight meters per second. And as we get closer to the stratosphere, the helium balloon’s ascent speed is gradually increasing."
"Impressive, buddy. How did you figure that out?"
"Isn’t there a current parameter at the top right corner?"
"Oh yeah, I didn’t notice all that dense data."
"This thing... without a geography major, who can understand it?"
"If it weren’t for the host’s explanation, I wouldn’t know what a concept 5,000 meters in altitude is."
"Exactly."
"But I have a question."
"How is Wang Ye able to maintain a normal state in such a harsh environment, and he stays motionless in meditation?"
"Isn’t he afraid of the minus thirty-degree temperature?"
"Now the ascent speed is so fast, and he’s not wearing any protective suit. Not to mention potential issues with his eardrums and eyes."
"Yes, even if he kept his eyes closed the whole time, the dilation of retinal blood vessels would surely harm him."
"I’ve heard at this height, vision can develop black spots!"
"Hasn’t Wang Ye climbed Mount Everest before? Although the climbing speed on Everest is slow, the altitude is higher than now. Could he have already adapted?"
"Adapted my foot! No matter if you bring a Sherpa living on Everest to sit on a helium balloon ascending rapidly without protective gear, they would drop dead within half an hour."
"Seriously??"

Countless comments crazily swept across the top of the screen,
among them interspersed some other languages, seemingly posted by foreigners,
but more than ninety percent were still in Chinese,
after all, Wang Ye is Chinese, so the audience is naturally primarily Chinese.
Yet there are tens of millions of foreign viewers online,
and it’s faintly approaching a hundred million.
Many foreign netizens who encountered Wang Ye for the first time learned of his challenge records and world records through explanations from netizens in the comments.
Many foreigners, upon learning of Wang Ye’s legendary feats, developed a huge interest in this Asian man who sat meditating motionless.
Especially those foreigners from the birthplace of superhero culture, they admired Wang Ye’s superhuman physique greatly, likening him to a real-life Captain America!
As they discussed, many unknowing foreigners were recommended into the live broadcast room, with viewer count snowballing upwards,
and just as the data in the streaming room soared like a cloudburst,
the helium balloon slowly ascended to the stratosphere.
Reaching a height of around ten thousand meters,
the temperature plummeted from minus thirty degrees to minus sixty degrees,
No exaggeration, if an ordinary person stays in this temperature for an hour, they’d definitely freeze into ice,
frost began forming on the balloon surface, blossoming into beautiful fractal ice flowers,
helium contracted due to low temperatures, slowing the ascent speed from five meters per second to about three meters, the oxygen and air pressure here are alarmingly low, ordinary people cannot breathe here, similar to a vacuum region, inhaling dozens of times might not acquire a bit of oxygen, suffocating to death would be an understatement.
Air pressure decreased over ninety percent compared to ground level, the altitude at ten thousand meters, various figures have dropped to fatal levels, much harsher than Mount Everest’s peak conditions, far beyond human endurance limits, even the strongest extreme athletes would not withstand here, if an ordinary person stood here without a protective suit, bodily fluids would boil and evaporate as in low pressure liquids start vaporizing at thirty-seven degrees Celsius.
Ordinary people wishing to survive here normally must wear a fully enclosed pressure suit, otherwise losing consciousness within ten seconds or even dying.
Upon reaching this altitude, the scenery outside the helium balloon became increasingly mystical as the height increased.
The sky turned from azure to a faint dusk, fixed stars stop twinkling due to no atmospheric disturbances, being closer to the fixed stars here, ultraviolet intensity is hundreds of times stronger than the ground levels, the sun burning intensely, if not for the balloon’s film made from special materials, it’d likely be burnt by now.
At this moment, Wang Ye, engaged in his practice, felt a slight discomfort.
But only a slight discomfort.
Extremely faint.
Hardly affecting his body,
Wang Ye slowly opened his eyes.
Breathed out a breath of impurity.
Hiss—
In an instant, his chest and abdomen emitted a muffled roar like a dragon and tiger,
the air in front of his mouth and nose exhibited distortion,
clearly an extremely high temperature causing air density changes,
in life,
only above flames you see this "spatial distortion" phenomenon!
And Wang Ye merely breathed out impure air, yet caused such noticeable change in air density?
Suddenly, the streaming room exploded in comments again!
