The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 186 Charming Wonderland

The nearly [-]-kilometer journey from Los Angeles to New Mexico, starting at eight in the morning, drove along the road all the way, and before dark, the group finally arrived in Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico.

Santa Fe is one of the oldest towns in the United States, and it is also a distribution center for gold and copper mines and agricultural and animal husbandry products in the north-central state.

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

After resting overnight in Santa Fe and buying a lot of necessities, the group headed for the northwest of New Mexico.

A group of them are going to the northwest city of Gallup. This time, Jane Foster wants to confirm her prediction of an astronomical astrology, so she called Eric Shagway and came to this plateau desert together. City.

This area is one of the most suitable places in the United States to observe astrology, so the group of them chose to come here. The general location is in the northeast of Gallup City, and the specific location depends on Jane Foster's actual measurement. Certainly.

In the afternoon, they had already arrived in Gallup City. Without much rest, the group went directly to the plateau desert in the northeast.

Jane Foster, Eric Sagway, and Daisy Louise drove in front, and Ling Xiao drove behind in a Pickup car, which contained these Some equipment for a field survey, as well as living supplies such as tents.

For astronomers like them, it is very common to sleep in the wild, such as this night.

Stopping and stopping along the way, in order to determine the best observation position, Jane Foster needs to stop and observe every time she walks.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the group finally stopped behind a hillside sheltered from the wind. Relying on the car, they set up their tents.

In this highland desert area, the nights are always very cold, especially now that winter has just passed and spring has not yet come.

Ling Xiao familiarly used the materials carried in the car to set up a fire on the ground. At this time, the wind was not strong, and the fire was made smoothly.

Set up the pot, heat the water, and throw the instant noodles into the pot. Not long after, the group had a hot dinner.

"Ling, it's a good thing you came with me this time, otherwise we would have suffered so much." Daisy Louise glanced at Jane Foster who was discussing with Professor Sagway in a low voice, Daisy Louise really regretted this trip.

If Ling Xiao hadn't been brought here at California State University, I'm afraid they would have to sit in an off-road vehicle, eat dry food, drink cold water, and curl up to sleep. Such a life is really not human .

Ling Xiao smiled softly, indeed, his joining has greatly helped Jane Foster and his business, at least he stuffed a lot of daily necessities in his car, if it was just their off-road vehicle, It is enough to plug a series of equipment together.

During the conversation with Daisy Louise, Ling Xiao learned that she was also a senior student, and the reason why she followed Jane Foster this trip was for the few credits she urgently needed, otherwise, This will have a great impact on her graduation.

"So, not only have you participated in a very important genetic project, but you also have a pharmacy of your own." Daisy Louise looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief. Everyone was approaching their senior year. Graduating students, why is there such a big gap between anyone.

"Yeah, I think that's why Professor Gao Bai asked me to come with you." Ling Xiao smiled lightly while flipping through the fire: "This is a plateau desert after all, if something really happens, With a doctor like me around, everything is more convenient, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Daisy Louise blinked and nodded, and continued chatting with Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao is not the kind of person who is too talkative to please girls, and Daisy Louise is not the kind of girl who jumps at a man who is pleasing to the eye. Although the two of them talked a lot this night, but When the temperature cooled down, they got into the tents to rest. Only Jane Foster and Professor Eric Sagway were still studying the astrology.

The astrology of this world is very different from that of Ling Xiao's original world. At least the position of Polaris has been shifted by nearly 45 degrees to the northwest, and it is not so clear. The positions of other stars have changed a lot, but Ling Xiao He was not an astrologer in his previous life, so he couldn't tell the specifics.

It is precisely because of the changes in the astrology that some spells related to astrology cannot be used on the Lingxiao Gods and Demons List. Of course, this is also due to his low cultivation base.

When Daisy Louise woke up in the morning, she happened to see Ling Xiao sitting alone by the dying fire, looking up at the sky, feeling a little sad for no reason.

Sensing someone appearing behind him, Ling Xiao moved, and the previous feeling disappeared immediately, which made Daisy Louise even more curious.

"Ling, when did you get up?" Daisy Louise came over, touched the teapot hanging on the fire, saw that Yu Wen was still there, poured herself a cup of coffee, and then sat there with Ling Xiao chatted.

"I woke up at four o'clock." Ling Xiao took out a bag of biscuits from the box beside him and handed it to Daisy Louise, at the same time said with a half-smile: "I will be on duty in the second half of the night, you Don't you think that we are sleeping on this desert plateau, and nothing will happen at night?"

"What can happen, there are no wolves here!" Daisy Louise looked nonchalant, her attention was already on the hot coffee and biscuits.

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

Last night, after Ling Xiao and Daisy Louise took a break, Professor Jane Foster and Eric Sagway kept busy until late at night, until Ling Xiao got up in the middle of the night to take over from Professor Sagway, the two People go back to rest.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning when the two woke up. After a little breakfast, the group came to the nearest town of Antica Puente according to the guidance on the map.

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

The town of Antica Puente, which is above 6000 meters above sea level, has only a permanent population of more than 2000. The whole city is in a square shape, and the buildings are concentrated within a kilometer. There are no tall buildings or buildings. Most of the buildings are two, Three-story small buildings and bungalows, the tallest building in the town is just a four-story hospital building, surrounded by desert plateaus outside.

After a busy morning, a group of people rented a bungalow facing the street at the edge of the town. The side of the house with the sect number 1001 is facing the street with large floor-to-ceiling windows instead of walls, so that they can clearly see everything outside.

The group of people didn't bring many things, and they wouldn't stay here for too long, so after a busy afternoon, they were basically settled.

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

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

The reason why I came here a week in advance is because I need to do a lot of field surveys to find out the most suitable place to observe this astronomical phenomenon.

After a period of side-talking, Ling Xiao finally understood what Jane Foster was here for.

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

You must know that aurora often appear in the sky over regions with latitudes close to the geomagnetic poles, such as the South Pole and the North Pole, and this is New Mexico, located in the southwestern United States. If you can observe the aurora here, it is definitely worth recording in history.
