I updated esptool and the original error is gone, but there is still another error：

```arduino
Arduino:1.8.19 (Windows 10), 开发板："AI Thinker ESP32-CAM, 240MHz (WiFi/BT), QIO, Huge APP (3MB No OTA/1MB SPIFFS), 80MHz, None, Disabled"

项目使用了 1015988 字节，占用了 (32%) 程序存储空间。最大为 3145728 字节。

全局变量使用了50788字节，(15%)的动态内存，余留276892字节局部变量。最大为327680字节。

esptool.py v4.8.1

Serial port COM14

Connecting.....................................上传项目出错

.

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: No serial data received.

在文件 -> 首选项开启
“编译过程中显示详细输出”选项
这份报告会包含更多信息。

```

But I've already linked to the ESP32 cam
