Chapter 1 Stargazing Mountain

Next Chapter

At eight o'clock in the evening, He Han came to the Nanshan Observatory with a mountaineering bag, a large suitcase, and a folding chair.

Standing still in front of the clearing that belonged to her, she was dumbfounded.

A large black telescope of Cassegrain rests on the turquoise grass, and an empty folding chair next to it coincides perfectly with the position she occupies each year.

Take a deep breath and change places? No, this position is very important, and the photos taken this year should be compared with last year, the year before last, and the year before last.

With the cold decided and so on.

Left and right, the big black tube stood proudly, and the cold put down the box; Right and left, empty chairs in silent invitation, with the cold untie their big backpack.

In the parking lot 500 meters away, Murong Xu, the owner of the big black tube, finished taking his coat from the car and was walking back leisurely. In the distance, he saw a girl guarding a pile of things, staring at his telescope in a daze.

"Is there something wrong?" He stepped forward and asked.

As soon as the girl turned around, she had a clear and moving face. Simple jeans are dressed in white T, tied in a ponytail, and a pair of black fawn-like eyes are especially cute.

"This place is mine." When the girl spoke, her words were not pleasant.

Raising his eyebrows, Murong Xu said, "I didn't see a reservation here." ”

"I was here last year, the year before last, and the year before last." Yohan thinks that this is her predestination.

"I don't mind if your stuff is next to me." I don't want to continue the battle of words, and it's not his personality to admit that he is instigated.

"That's not the same location." Stick with the cold.

What kind of truth is this, you have to inch in, Murong Xu was not happy, and his words were more serious, "You measured it with a ruler." ”

"Facing the pine tree, 9.5 meters away at 10 o'clock, we can use our mobile phone location to verify." He Han has always been accustomed to using data to speak.

"So what, come first and then come to understand," the pretentious woman, Murong Xu began to annoy her, and her speech became more and more unpolite, "You have obsessive-compulsive disorder." ”

Unexpectedly, the girl obediently admitted, "I do have a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. ”

The conversation was at an impasse, and she had experienced it countless times.

But this time she didn't want to give up, and her mother warned her that sincerity is always forgiven.

She adjusted a bit and continued: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at communicating with people, I like this location, the fixed shooting location will give me peace of mind, if you will...... Unwilling to ......"

She couldn't think of a reason to convince and couldn't go on.

The girl looked frightened and obsessive, and Murong Xu suddenly felt bored and didn't want to delve into it. He grimaced and removed his binoculars.

"Thank you." He Han whispered thanks, then opened the box, propped up her refractive telescope, took out the tablet to call up the stargazing software, and began to debug.

It didn't take long for Murong Xu to fall in love with stargazing, it was a trip to New Zealand's South Island. Lake Tekapo has some of the purest blue glacial water in the world, but the open water and towering mountains not far away bring constant and violent winds.

When I returned to the lodging place, the whistling sound kept echoing in my ears, and I couldn't disperse it for a long time. He had to go to bed early, but he was not used to sleeping too much, so he woke up in the middle of the night. The drowsiness dissipated, and he planned to go out for a walk.

Push the door out, the sky is full of stars!

The vast Milky Way was clearly visible, and he realized for the first time that the night sky was not just black and white, it could be colorful and dazzling.

The most wonderful thing is that the lake not far away reflects the Milky Way, "drunk and don't know that the sky is in the water, the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy", he was called by the starlight, walked to the lake, up and down are twinkling stars, his senses were subverted, vaguely felt that the world became ethereal, and he integrated into the endless time and space.

The throbbing of that night was unforgettable for a long time, so when he saw the news that these two days were a good day to observe the Perseid meteor shower once in a century, he asked his secretary to buy equipment and drove himself to the Nanshan Observatory.

It's the height of summer, the stars have risen a bit, and it's very quiet.

Putting down the tablet in his hand, He Han took the lead in breaking the silence: "Your telescope is very good. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Murong Xu didn't do any homework, just asked the secretary to buy it for him according to the most expensive and best.

"Brightness, resolution enough to see spherical stars and nebulae." Talking to Han is always cold, which makes people feel emotionless.

In the wilderness, strange men and women are forced together, awkward and weird. Now that the cold girl opened her mouth, Murong Xu just opened the topic, and he put down the manual in his hand, "I don't know how to debug, can you help me adjust it?" ”

Yohan raised his eyes and looked at him carefully for the first time. The man in front of him was very handsome, looking at her with a pair of cold star-like eyes, which made her heart beat faster, and she wanted to say yes immediately, but she wanted to avoid it quickly.

Calmed down, restrained the panic for no reason, and Han stood up without saying a word, and walked towards the big black tube.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, Murong Xu's position is obviously not enough, maybe it's an illusion, and Han felt that a smile flashed on his face, as if he was playing with his prey. She wanted to reach out and push him away, but reason told her that it would be rude.

She was awkward, almost squatting down against Murong Xu's body. The refreshing and good-smelling smell of shaving water came, and she instinctively felt that it was the taste of Ningxia.

The big black cylinder in front of him was in a state of freshly opened and unboxed, all the settings were in the zero position, and the eyepiece was pitch black. He Han wanted to laugh very much, it was a waste for a novice to bring such a high-grade telescope.

The slender girl squatted on the ground, a small lump, well-behaved and clever, which made people want to tease. He leaned in close to her, got down on one knee, and propped his arm on his knee, "Tell me how to tune in." "It looks like it's a matter of course and it's very familiar.

was concentrating on adjusting the equatorial mount, and a warm body leaned over, and the hot flashes sprayed on his face, and the cold was startled, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at him. On her face close at hand, three light-colored, equidistant moles, distributed on her stiff facial features, were Orion's belt star, the trajectory of the stars, and she froze, as if she had been magically clicked.

"Why are you stunned, you don't want to teach me?" It is estimated that he is used to being stared at, and Murong Xu is not uncomfortable, and there is a little joke in his voice.

"What?" Coming back to her senses, she asked confusedly.

"Teach me how to tune this." The girl was too stupid, and Murong Xu had to repeat it again.

Oh, and while Han began to adjust, he told him how to adjust the equatorial mount, how to do the coaxial calibration of the finderscope and the primary mirror, and told him the advantages of this reflecting telescope, etc.

The girl in front of him analyzed it in detail and gave him an introductory theory class, and her serious appearance was very funny. Although he didn't understand anything, Murong Xu still fought hard and worked hard to be a good student.

Talking about it, he moved out of the way with Han and said that he could see Saturn. Murong Xu approached the eyepiece, the center of the circular field of vision, a small piece, a vague yellow round spot, a small ring, a light and pale color, the same as a colored pencil stick figure.

That's Saturn! He was amazed, not only from the usual photographs of celestial objects on the web, but also from a naked-eye bright spot in the everyday night sky. It's a small colorful picture that you've magnified 1,000 times and suspended in the sky, a huge gaseous celestial body, projecting light at you.

"My telescope can't see Cassini seams." He Han touched the smooth mirror body of the big black tube, with a little envy, and pointed him to take a closer look.

Murong Xu squinted his eyes to see, and sure enough, the small ring split into two, with a thin black gap in the middle.

"Cassini is mysterious and still hasn't been well explained, but it's beautiful." Said yearning with Han.

After that, she continued to focus, pointing the lens barrel at the moon, Jupiter, Andromeda Nebula, and the Milky Way Heart to show him one by one.

The more Murong Xu looked, the more fascinated he became, as if he had fallen down Alice's rabbit hole, and he discovered a strange and magnificent new world.

The atmosphere of getting along gradually became harmonious, the girl was no longer cold and obedient, and the boy was no longer suspicious.

She talked about the stars, and the more he looked at them, the more pleasing they became, as if there was a hint of sweetness in the air. His pale face was shrouded in a faint starlight, and his crystal-like eyes were as bright as stars.

"Why do you like to look at the stars?" He became curious about her.

"The stars are my friends, it's hard to know people, but it's easy to know them. This one is equidistant from this one, how many degrees is the angle between that one and that one, these four form a trapezoid, and those faint little stars are like a hanging sword, as long as you observe, they will never let you down. ”

Never be disappointed, how nice would that be! Thinking of the mess in his home, Murong Xu fell into deep thought.

He Han is not a person who likes to talk, and when she saw that he broke off the chat, she also took the camera and took a picture by herself.

After a while, Murong Xu came back to his senses, he was not a person who liked to be entangled. In the face of difficult problems, he has always risen to the challenge, thinking more and doing more. So, he became a curious baby again, and kept asking this and that.

Personality and emotional problems, and Han is always alone. But she is not averse to socializing with people, and at this moment, she enjoys having someone who can be interested in what she likes and asking questions.

Although she was still an immobile face, her voice was softer.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is late at night, and the meteor shower is coming.

The two of them were full of anticipation, looking up, not wanting a dark cloud to float over and the galaxy to hide. After waiting patiently for a while, the clouds became thicker and thicker, hoping to be completely shattered. Yohan began to pack his things and prepare to retreat.

"What's your name?" Seeing that she wanted to leave without saying hello, Murong Xu couldn't help but ask, "Will you come back tomorrow?" ”

"My name is Yohan, and it has nothing to do with me, the cold of winter," he said calmly with an indifferent face, "Tomorrow if the weather is good, I will come." ”

"My surname is Murong, my single name is Xu, lifelike Xu," Murong Xu took the initiative to introduce himself, seeing that she was carrying and carrying, he couldn't help but want to help, "Where is your car parked?" I'll send you there. ”

"No, goodbye." He Han was very neat, the humanoid luggage rack was assembled, turned around, and walked down the mountain.

Murong Xu secretly smiled bitterly, this attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away really added to people's blockage. What has nothing to do with me? Hmph, it's not up to you. He began to silently hope that tomorrow would be a cloudless day.
