Chapter 188

It’s nearly a thousand kilometers from Los Angeles to New Mexico. We departed at 8:00 AM and drove along the highway. Before dark, the entire group finally arrived in New Mexico. Santa Fe, the capital.

Santa Fe is one of the ancient towns in the United States, as well as a distribution center for gold, copper, and agricultural and pastoral products in the central and northern part of the state.

The architectural features here are mainly Spanish style, tourism is very developed, ancient city, church, university town, hot springs, and food are all distinctive.

After a restful night in Santa Fe, after buying a lot of essentials, the entire group moved towards Northwest New Mexico.

Their entire group is going to the northwest city of Gallup. This time it was mainly because Jane Foster wanted to confirm oneself’s prediction of an astronomical astrology, so they called Erik Selvig and came to this plateau desert city together.

This area is one of the most suitable places for observing astrology in United States, so their entire group chose to come here. The general location is in the northeast of Gallup. The specific location depends on Jane Foster’s It depends on the actual measurement.

In the afternoon, I already came to Gallup. Without much rest, the entire group went directly to the plateau desert in the northeast.

Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, and also Darcy Lewis drove in the front, while Ling Xiao drove a pickup in the back. The car was loaded with some equipment detected on the spot this time. , Also Living supplies such as tents.

For astronomers like them, sleeping in the wild is a very common thing, such as this evening.

Stop and go along the way. In order to determine the best observation position, Jane Foster needs to stop and observe every time she walks for a while.

At more than 0.916666667, the entire group finally stopped behind a wind-sheltered hillside, relying on the car as a support, they pitched the tent.

In this plateau desert zone, the night is always very cold, especially now that the winter has just passed and the spring is coming.

Ling Xiao’s familiar materials carried on the car raised a fire on the ground. At this time, the wind was not strong and the fire was done smoothly.

Set up the pot, heat the water, and throw the instant noodles into the pot. It didn’t take long for the entire group to have a warm dinner.

“Ling, thank you for coming this time, otherwise we don’t know how much hardship we have to endure this trip.” Darcy Lewis glanced at Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis who were discussing with Professor Selvig in a low voice. I really regret this coming.

If Ling Xiao hadn’t been brought over at California State University, I’m afraid they would have to sit in an off-road vehicle now, eating dry food, drinking cold water, and shrinking into a ball to sleep. Life is really not for people.

Ling Xiao laughed lightly, indeed, his joining in Jane Foster’s business is very helpful, at least he has packed a lot of daily necessities in his car, if it’s just their off-road vehicle , Just plugging in a series of equipment is very choking.

During the conversation with Darcy Lewis, Ling Xiao learned that she was also a senior student. The reason she came with Jane Foster this time was for the credits that oneself needed urgently. Otherwise, this It will have a great impact on her graduation.

“putting it that way, not only did you participate in a very important genetic project, you also have an own pharmacy in your hand.” Darcy Lewis looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, everyone was big Four students approaching graduation, why is there such a big gap between anyone?

“Yes, I think this is why Professor Goldberg asked me to come with you.” Ling Xiao said with a smile while flipping through the fire, “This is a plateau desert after all. If something unexpected happens, everything is more convenient with a Doctor like me, isn’t it?”

“en.” Darcy Lewis blinked his eyes and nodded, and continued talking with Ling Xiao Go down.

Ling Xiao is not the kind of person who talks too much to please girls, and Darcy Lewis is not the kind of girl who rushes when he sees a pleasing man, although the two of them talked a lot this night , But when the temperature cooled down, they went into their tents to rest. Only Jane Foster and Professor Erik Selvig were still studying the astrology.

The astrology of this World is very different from the astrology of Ling Xiao’s original world. At least the position of Polaris is offset from Northwest by nearly 45 degrees, and it is not so clear. The positions of other stars have also changed. Not small, but Ling Xiao was not an astrologer in his previous life, and he can’t say anything specifically.

It is precisely because of the changes in the astrology that some spells about the astrology in Ling Xiao Divine Magic List cannot be used. Of course, this is also due to his low cultivation base.

When Darcy Lewis woke up in the morning, he happened to see Ling Xiao sitting alone by the extinguishing fire, looking up at the sky, feeling a little sad inexplicably.

Perceiving someone appearing behind him, Ling Xiao moved, and the previous feeling immediately disappeared, which made Darcy Lewis even more curious.

“Ling, when did you get up?” Darcy Lewis walked over and touched the teapot hanging on the fire. Seeing that Yu Wen was still there, he poured oneself a cup of coffee and then sat down Chat with Ling Xiao there.

“I, I woke up at three o’clock.” Ling Xiao took out a bag of biscuits from the box beside him and handed it to Darcy Lewis. At the same time, faintly smiled and said: “I will be responsible for the night after midnight. , You don’t think we are sleeping on this desert plateau, what will not happen at night, right?”

“What can happen, there are no wolves here!” Darcy Lewis looked careless, her attention The force has been put on the hot coffee and biscuits.

Ling Xiao helplessly shook his head, this girl is obviously not deeply involved in the world. You must know that in such an environment, wild wolves are not terrifying, but people are terrifying!

Last night, after Ling Xiao and Darcy Lewis had a rest, Jane Foster and Professor Erik Selvig were busy until late at night, until Ling Xiao got up in the middle of the night to take over with Professor Selvig, and the two went back to rest.

It was already more than 9:00 AM when the two woke up. After a little bit of breakfast, the entire group came to the nearest Puente Antiguo according to the directions on the map.

This small town is located on the northwestern edge of New Mexico, and two hundred miles west is Arizona.

Puente Antiguo, which is above 6000 meters above sea level, has only a resident population of more than 2,000. The entire city is a square shape. The buildings are concentrated in an area within a kilometer. There are no tall buildings or buildings. Most buildings are two , Three-story small buildings and bungalows, the tallest building in the town is just a 4-Layer hospital building, surrounded by a desert plateau outside.

After a busy morning, the entire group rented a bungalow facing the street on the edge of the town. This Sect 1001 house has a large floor-to-ceiling window instead of the wall on the street side. Can clearly see everything outside.

There are not many things that the entire group brings, and I don’t stay here for too long, so after a busy afternoon, it’s basically settled.

After a simple dinner at the fast food restaurant, the entire group drove to the desert again.

As for the specific location of the observation, Jane is still calculating, but for the possible time of the astronomical phenomenon at this time, she has already calculated it before coming. It should be about a week later. It will not exceed one or two days.

The reason why I came a week in advance is because a lot of field surveys are needed to find the most suitable place for observing this astronomical phenomenon.

After a period of side-knack, Ling Xiao finally understood what Jane Foster was going to do here.

According to her observations and data calculations, a certain area of ​​the sky will have a unique aurora phenomenon in the future.

Be aware that aurora often appear in areas close to geomagnetic poles at latitudes, such as the South Pole and North Pole, but here is New Mexico in Southwestern United States. If you can observe aurora here, it is definitely worth remembering Into the annals of history.
