Chapter 392: Why is there a hydra everywhere?
If you're visiting Yellowstone, the best option is to head to Salt Lake City, Utah, then rent a car and head north on a budget-friendly basis that also takes in the sights along the way, such as a road trip through Grand Teton National Park.
But Maya, they didn't come to play, well, at least the students from the geological expedition club didn't come to play, and this time they didn't even have a leading teacher, and they organized everyone together in the form of a national high school club.
Maya's community high school also has a student community of geography enthusiasts, but the economy is far from being comparable to that of today's tech high schools, so President Maya was not surprised to see a large group of private high school students at the hotel the next morning.
Maya arrived at Bozeman Airport in the middle of the night last night, had already booked the hotel, and the hotel sent a bus to meet them. It's all in the United States, although the jet lag is still bearable, and tomorrow they have to travel a long way to do geological research, so they go to the hotel to wash up and go to bed again.
President Maya also released the seed of a little yellow book before going to bed, Tony is so miserable, she must be comforted, right?
"Wow, are you that Maya Hansen? I'm Hope from Jersey City, Hope von Dayne. ”
There were no teachers from the high school in this event, but the U.S. Department of Education still arranged for about a dozen people, including geology professors from well-known universities and people from the USGS, that is, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey.
At this moment, hundreds of students are riding more than a dozen buses, and they are going to the USGS base in Yellowstone Park together.
Maya was talking to a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall figure of 1.7 meters, jeans hiking shoes, short ear-length hair, well, her big brown eyes were unusually bright, and there were words "Jersey Newton High School" on the back of her beige coat, and the whole person was full of youthful vitality.
Looking at this classmate who was smiling and showing two big white teeth, Maya also smiled kindly, "Hello, Hope, just call me Maya... My house is right next to the Hudson River, not far from Jersey City. ”
"Hehehe, I know!" Hope said happily: "I also secretly took a boat to Manhattan to look for you, but although I saw you that time, I was embarrassed to come up and say hello, hehehe, hey, Maya, you are my idol!" The games you develop are so fun, I knew you a few years ago, I thought you were just a nerd who died reading, hahaha, I didn't expect you to love games so much, I love your "Sailor Moon" the most, wow, that dazzling high-tech weapon is amazing, and there is magic in science fiction, there are aliens, there are mummies, there are magicians, ......"
Hmm, I thought I was attracted by our profound knowledge, but I didn't expect it to be an arcade game fan.
Hearing what she said a lot, President Maya couldn't help but find an opportunity to change the topic and said, "Hope, are you also a geology enthusiast?" I heard that after this expedition, if the paper is well written, I can get the guidance of the professor at the University of Arizona, and maybe the paper will be included in the supplement of "National Geographic"! ”
Hope looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, so he smiled and leaned in front of Maya and whispered: "I'm not a member of the geological expedition club, nor am I an officer of the student council, he, my dad works for the government, and he said hello to the people from USGS... Actually, I'm here for a tour. ”
"Is your father a high-ranking government official, but since he is a high-ranking official, wouldn't it be better for him to take time to travel with you?" Maya wondered.
"Hey, he's not an official, my dad is a scientist." Hope waved his hand and explained, "My dad is Hank Pym, a physicist, who used to be a professor at the University of Arizona, and many of the people at USGS are his students, and he is so busy with his work, many times he doesn't see him once a month......"
President Maya didn't listen, but asked in surprise, "Your dad is Dr. Hank Pym?" “
So, you're the Wasp? Maya wondered.
"You know my dad too?"
Seeing Maya nodding, Hope said with some pride: "No wonder, my father is still very good in the quantum realm, but he is almost seventy years old, and the quantum theory has not yet been perfected, and I don't know if he will be able to enter the experimental stage of the quantum realm when he retires." ”
President Maya didn't know how to answer this.
Spanning three states and covering an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, Yellowstone doesn't take a week to visit. Of course, the Mayans are not tourists, their main purpose this time is to investigate the volcano in Yellowstone Lake, and the detection tools are not possible with a pair of naked eyes. Next to Lake Yellowstone is the U.S. Geological Service's crustal activity monitoring station, which Maya walked to after packing her luggage at the USGS base.
"Wow, there's an earthquake, be careful, there's an earthquake!"
President Maya turned her head to see Hope pointing to the LCD on the seismic monitor, yelling there.
The elder quietly turned his face away, a little embarrassed for the new friend he had just met, it seems that "The Wasp" is really the same as she said, and she doesn't know much about geology!
Is it necessary to be surprised that an earthquake was detected in Yellowstone?
This Yellowstone Lake is in the center of the crater, how awesome the volcano in Yellowstone Park is, even if you don't understand geography at all, you have always seen the "2012" movie, right? Well, well, Hope hasn't seen it.
Unlike other earthquakes, earthquakes in Yellowstone are mostly caused by changes in the position of continental plates, while earthquakes in Yellowstone are caused by magmatic activity in underground volcanoes.
If magma activity is unstable, earthquakes will occur, so as long as earthquakes do not occur at high frequency and magnitude, there is no danger.
Just like just now, President Maya, who has a keen sense, also noticed the shaking of the ground, and she didn't need to look at the earthquake monitor, she knew that this earthquake did not even exceed magnitude 1, except for the students who had just arrived and were affected by Hope and became a little riotous, but the staff at the monitoring station were still calm.
With an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters, Yellowstone Park has a beautiful lake in such a plateau, which really makes people sigh at the magic of nature.
"The surface of the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding peaks and forests, and it is difficult for me to distinguish between the virtual and the real."
As he spoke, Hope opened his arms and made a hug gesture and shouted, "Wow, Yellowstone Lake, you are so big, so beautiful!" ”
The members of the geological expedition group were led by the USGS staff to observe the volcanic activity at the bottom of the lake, while President Maya, Annie, Hope, and a few other girls ran to the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yellowstone Lake in early autumn.
Well, President Maya is not so unmotivated, although she also looks along the shore of the lake, she can feel that it is always open.
Yes, President Maya then uses his senses to observe the activity of Earth's most terrifying volcanoes.
It's just that at this time, she frowned, looked at the high slope under her feet, and scolded in her heart: "Hydra is really dead, actually building an underground base near the active crater?" 166 Reading Network
