The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 481 Aurora

After resting overnight in Anchorage, Ling Xiao took Hand and continued to fly north, but they didn't fly directly to Fairbanks, but hovered at the peak of Mount McKinley on the way.

Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America, is close to the Arctic Circle, with an altitude of 6193 meters. It is the most difficult mountain to climb among the highest peaks in the seven continents except Mount Everest. It was not until 1913 that someone successfully climbed to the top. Records have been very scant.

Today's weather is not good, the weather is gloomy, and there is a lot of snow on the peak of Mount McKinley. Even in October, with the sharp peak, the butterfly aircraft can't land at all, and it doesn't let the sky rise. The plan to land the plane.

The plane hovered above the peak, Ling Xiao opened the hatch and jumped straight down, while Hande drove the plane and left here immediately.

You know, although the height of Mount McKinley is not as high as that of Everest, its temperature is -60°C, making it the coldest mountain in the world!

Even if Ling Xiao's butterfly-shaped aircraft has concentrated the most advanced technology on the earth, it may not be able to withstand this temperature for a long time, and it can only land on the flat ice sheet near the mountainside.

This is a very clean world, with majestic snow peaks and blue ice depressions. Standing on top of the peaks and observing the mottled and detailed textures on the snow mountains up close, the magnificent beauty is shocking. Ice and snow formed thousands of years ago.

The reason why Ling Xiao came to this place was mainly to confirm whether there is a space channel here, and he also knew whether it was because the timing of coming here was wrong, or because the body was no longer, and he could not borrow the ability of the blue devil Wagner to teleport in space, and could not Feel the special fluctuation of the space channel from it.

Or maybe there is no such thing here at all. According to Ling Xiao's own analysis, if you want to open the space channel, you can't determine the target here, and you need a lot of energy. The naturally formed space channel requires thousands of years of hard work. Stopped energy shock.

For example, in Death Valley, during the day, the stability of the core area of ​​Death Valley can reach more than 60 degrees, and at night, the temperature will drop rapidly to about 10 degrees. The strong temperature difference makes the space barrier extremely fragile. In this case, a specific space channel is formed.

But here, the temperature is low all the year round, and the space barrier will become frozen due to the temperature. Only when the temperature is too low to exceed a certain limit, the space barrier will become brittle. method, the space channel can be opened.

Of course, these are all Ling Xiao's own analysis and guesses. He sat cross-legged all night in the cold wind on the top of the mountain, and didn't come down from the top of the mountain until dawn the next day. This place may not be suitable for him, and he stayed all night. , he didn't gain anything, so he could only leave.

The plane continued to fly north, flying over the snow-capped mountains. The glaciers that were both tough and soft slowly thawed, and the ice and snow gradually replaced the sparse green grass. , replaced by desolation.

In Alaska, the further north you go, you'd better drive along the road, even if it's a plane, especially in this autumn and winter season, there are few people on the desolate land, and you will get lost if you don't pay attention, especially the plane. The closer you get to the Arctic Circle, the greater the impact of the aurora on the signal.

Ling Xiao didn't book a room in Fairbanks in advance. He didn't want to wait until he got there. There were government agents everywhere. Although he had some ways to get rid of these following agents, he still avoided some troubles after all. good.

The plane finally landed in a manor in the north of the city. Who would have thought that Tony Stark also had a manor here. That bastard has his own property in almost every state in the United States. It is obvious that he is rich and powerful. .

Ling Xiao had already greeted Stark before he came, so when the plane landed, the butler who had been waiting in the manor took the two of them into a small two-story wooden building, and the inside had already been prepared. All right.

Inside the small building, there are stuffed animals such as ice deer and ice bears, thick bed quilts, and hot stoves. You must know that even in the fall, the highest temperature here during the day will not exceed ten degrees. When the weather is bad, it is normal for the temperature to be below zero all day long.

This two-story building has two bedrooms, four guest rooms, a large living room, kitchen, bathroom, utility room, and the refrigerator is already full of food. After explaining everything to Lin Xiao, the housekeeper Take the initiative to say goodbye.

In the whole manor, this two-story building is not the only building. Tony and Pepper have their own love nest here, and they have no plans to provide it to Ling Xiao. Once something is involved, Tony Stark's man is very mean.

The food was made by Hand himself, and the taste was not bad. Ling Xiao just put down the knife and fork in his hand after taking a bite of each dish.

He is just the body of the soul now, and it is okay to taste it. After that, all the food will be refined, and the impurities will be excreted.

Coming to Asgard is just a pretense, but even if it is a pretense, there are things that should be done and must be done.

In Fairbanks, there are more than 200 days of aurora nights a year. This place is located in the aurora belt. From October to April of the next year, it is the best time to observe the aurora. The good observation environment also makes Fei Urbans is known as the "Aurora Capital".

After nightfall, a faint aurora appeared in the sky of Fairbanks. As time went by, around one o'clock in the morning, the aurora ushered in a big explosion.

The dark green aurora, with a dark red luster, spreads across hundreds of kilometers of blue sky, like a green satin covering half of the sky, swaying non-stop over Alaska by the wind blowing from the sun .

When the purple-red green light passed through the entire sky, Ling Xiao couldn't help but flashed a line of poetry in his mind: Send mayflies to the heaven and earth, a bundle of the vast ocean.

Before Saffron Hand, who was standing beside Ling Xiao, could react, he saw a golden light rising from the ground and heading straight into the sky.

1000 meters, 3000 meters, ten kilometers, fifty kilometers, the speed of the golden light finally began to gradually slow down, and when he flew to sixty or seventy kilometers, he finally felt that there was not enough energy left. In desperation, he was forced to Give up, turn into a streamer, and fall back to the ground again.

Most of the aurora appear at 90 - 130 kilometers above the earth.But some auroras are much higher. According to records, in 1959, the measured height of the aurora borealis was 160 kilometers, and the width was more than 4800 kilometers.

Standing on the edge of the wooden house, a trace of disappointment flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. His current spirit flight mainly relies on the Guan Xiao Sword, but the Guan Xiao Sword may not be completely refined by him so far, and the height of the upward flight cannot guarantee Ling Xiao's ability to fly. Xiao can touch the existence of Aurora.

If it was the Huiming Sword, Ling Xiao must already be in the aurora at this time. Of course, the pure soul flight can also arrive, but there is no spirit to rely on, and if you break into the aurora directly, it won't take long. Surrounded by the power of Yuan Magnetic in the aurora, it finally faded away.

Since you can't touch the aurora, you can only enjoy the beautiful scenery there. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a band of light, and it's still like waves. It feels like being in a dream!

After staying in Fairbanks for a few days, when people from the federal government finally discovered that Ling Xiao had moved into Stark's private estate, Ling Xiao set off again, driving the plane along the famous Dalton Highway, on the way Tour the Yukon River, the fifth largest river in North America, visit the oil pipeline that runs through the north and south of Alaska, and finally arrive at the Arctic Circle mark at 66° north latitude in Alaska.

If you take a group photo here, you will be awarded a certificate of Arctic Circle exploration after returning to Fairbanks, which is also the end point for ordinary tourists going north.

And Ling Xiao just glanced at the sign of the Arctic Circle, and then went straight to the north, entered the Arctic Circle, and entered this world without mobile phone signals.

If before entering the Arctic Circle, the roads on the ground can still guide you, then after entering the Arctic Circle, even the roads are covered with layers of white snow, and the whole world is a vast expanse of whiteness. Fortunately, the satellite signal is still normal Run, otherwise once you get lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.
