How could this metabolic rate possibly allow one to climb Mount Everest without eating or drinking?
Climbing Mount Everest without a guide is itself akin to a suicidal act. Without the help of a local Sherpa guide, an ordinary person on Mount Everest is like a headless fly. It's akin to driving a car without any experience, constantly facing potential accidents and engine stalls that could lead to catastrophic outcomes. Only a few exceptionally talented individuals might survive such challenges.
What they do not know is that Wang Ye's daily metabolic rate has already exceeded 500,000 calories. If it weren't for the energy replenished by solar radiation, he would need to consume nearly half a ton of rice a day just to function normally.
Moreover, he has fully understood the route to the summit.
