Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 211 The Secretly Hidden Suicide Plan

Meng Tao?

Lin Yuan pulled him aside.

"Why are you here?"

"Come back to help you film."

"Why don't you take a couple of days off? It won't be too late to come back once you're in better shape."

"I'm worried about tomorrow's scene. I want to follow it myself."

Hearing Meng Tao's reply, Lin Yuan's heart was filled with turmoil.

He said nothing, walked up and put his arm around Meng Tao's shoulders.

"What? What?! I don't like stinky men touching me!"

"..."

Seeing that he had returned to this familiar tone, Lin Yuan knew that Meng Tao's mentality should be better.

Hanging out with Depp these days allowed him to fully release and vent his emotions.

"Really, don't worry about me. Let me tell you, this Depp kid really knows how to have fun. There are many tricks I've never heard of. Forget it, you don't have to understand them. Otherwise, they will blame me for teaching you bad things." Meng Tao said with a smile.

"You have really fallen." Lin Yuan sighed. The good man he once was finally transformed.

"You're jealous of me! You don't know how happy I've been these past few days! Lin Yuan, do you know if a woman kissing you is true love?"

"Lips?"

Okay, Lin Yuan understood immediately.

(Another short paragraph was deleted here. There's no way around it. Any jokes will be deleted. It basically shows Meng Tao's character transformation, from a relatively honest man to a player.)
Looking at Meng Tao's somewhat crazy look, Lin Yuan knew that the matter was not over.

He used this unrestrained behavior to hide the pain in his heart. Although it could act as an analgesic and anesthetic, he would still feel heartbroken once he calmed down.

Maybe this can only be left to time.

Therefore, Lin Yuan also understood why Meng Tao was in a hurry to get back to work.

On the one hand, he was really worried about tomorrow's scene and Lin Yuan's safety. On the other hand, he simply couldn't afford to relax right now.

You have to constantly find things to keep yourself busy and fill all your time.

"Now that you're back, let's talk about tomorrow's filming." Lin Yuan said.

"Okay, leave it to me. By the way, do you want me to dance with you tomorrow? I'll carry a camera and film you."

"Forget it, you haven't trained in ultra-high altitude skydiving, so don't try to commit suicide." Lin Yuan was really a little afraid of Meng Tao now.

It really seems like he doesn't care about anything and is willing to give up everything.

"Okay, then I'll do the logistics for you."

……

……

The C17 transport aircraft is soaring at an altitude of 13500 meters and flying at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour.

This C17 transport aircraft, which belongs to Buckley Air Force Base, has just been in service for five years and is at the peak of its service life.

"If this plane had human perception, do you think it would be proud that it is about to become a legend?" Meng Tao asked with a smile in the cargo hold.

"Don't make such unreliable assumptions. It's just a plane, it can't think like humans," Lin Yuan shook his head. "What a shame! This plane will be worshipped by countless fans, but it knows nothing about it," Meng Tao said.

"Don't talk too much, or you'll be discovered." Lin Yuan pointed at Director Cohen who was fixing the camera on the side and whispered.

When filming the skydiving scene later, Director Cohen and Meng Tao could not stay in the cargo hold, otherwise the huge pressure difference would suck them out of the cabin in an instant.

Even if we ignore the pressure issue, the low temperature and lack of oxygen outside the cabin are not something they can endure.

So after Director Cohen sets up the camera, he and Meng Tao will enter the cockpit and stay with the crew members.

"Fortunately, the C17 can only fly up to 13700 meters. If it reaches Armstrong's limit, I will never agree to it!" said Meng Tao.

"What? Why are you talking about Armstrong's limit? What does this have to do with Lin Yuan's scene today?" Director Cohen came over and asked vigilantly.

The so-called Armstrong Limit, also known as the Armstrong Line, is a space term.

At an altitude of more than 1.8 to 1.9 meters, when the air pressure is lower than 47 mm Hg, the boiling point of water is close to human body temperature (37 degrees Celsius).

If a human exceeds this height without any pressurization measures, tears, saliva, water in the eyeballs, and body fluids that keep the alveoli moist will all boil and evaporate in a very short time, causing the lungs to be unable to exchange oxygen and suffocate.

The C17 definitely cannot fly to this height, but if it can fly so high, Meng Tao will never agree to today's scene. What does this mean?
"Nothing, it's time to start changing into skydiving suits and get ready." Lin Yuan changed the subject.

Director Cohen felt that the two seemed to be hiding something from him, but it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions, so he had to sit aside in disappointment.

Meng Tao helped Lin Yuan get the full set of equipment, including: a full-coverage helmet, a sealed pressure-resistant cold-proof suit, a portable oxygen tank, a parachute...

The whole set of equipment looks like a simplified version of a space suit and weighs 35 kilograms.

It was a bit difficult to put on this set of equipment by himself, so Meng Tao helped Lin Yuan put it on piece by piece, and let Lin Yuan breathe pure oxygen for a while before putting on the helmet.

"Report the current extravehicular environmental parameters." Lin Yuan said.

"Okay!" Meng Tao picked up the instrument in his hand, glanced at it and replied:

"The current altitude is 13500 meters, the temperature outside the cabin is -55 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is 2.4 PSI, and the oxygen content is 4.2%."

"Roger that!"

"Good guy, you really won't change your mind?" Meng Tao asked in a low voice.

"You guys go to the cockpit, we'll see you on the ground later."

Seeing that Lin Yuan insisted on the previous plan, Meng Tao stood up first and walked towards the cockpit.

Director Cohen was confused, but he patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Good luck!"

After both of them left the cargo hold, Lin Yuan stood up from his seat and began the final warm-up preparations.

In fact, Lin Yuan and Meng Tao kept today's shooting plan a secret from everyone in the crew.

They thought Lin Yuan just jumped from a height of 13500 meters, then opened his parachute at an altitude of 3000 meters, and that was it.

But how could Lin Yuan be satisfied with such an action scene design?
You know, even when Tom Cruise was filming "Mission Impossible 5", he was able to complete the thrilling operations of skydiving from a height of 7500 meters and opening the parachute at an ultra-low altitude of 650 meters.

But this is not an extreme challenge at all.

The world record for ultra-high altitude skydiving was set by Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from 38969 meters.

After 49 seconds of free fall, he reached a maximum speed of 1357 kilometers per hour (at an altitude of about 2 meters), equivalent to about Mach 1.2. He broke the sound barrier with his helmet and was safe and sound. When he reached the predetermined height, he opened his parachute and landed safely.

If Lin Yuan could only perform a 13500-meter skydiving performance, the system would not give him a B-level challenge difficulty.

Therefore, what Lin Yuan is actually challenging today is semi-protected ultra-high altitude skydiving.
