After nearly a thousand kilometers from Los Angeles to New Mexico, the group finally arrived in Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, at 8 a.m. and driving along the highway at 8 a.m.

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

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

After a night's rest in Santa Fe and a plethora of necessities, the group headed northwest toward New Mexico.

The group was going to the northwest city of Gallup, and this time Jane Foster came out mainly to confirm his prediction of an astronomical astronomical phenomenon, so he called Eric Shagway to come to this highland desert city together.

This area is one of the best places in the United States to observe the stars, so the group chose to come here, and the general location is in the northeast of Gallup, and the specific location is determined according to Jane Foster's actual measurements.

In the afternoon, they had already arrived in the city of Gallup, and without much rest, the group went directly to the northeast of the plateau desert.

Jane Foster, Eric Shagway, and Daisy Louise drove in front, while Ling Xiao drove behind in a Pique car, which was loaded with some equipment for this field investigation, as well as tents and other daily necessities.

For astronomers like them, sleeping in the wild is a common thing, like tonight.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Jane Foster needed to stop and observe every time she walked to determine the best vantage point.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the group finally stopped behind a sheltered hillside, and with the help of the car, they set up their tents.

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

Ling Xiao was familiar with the materials he was carrying in the car, and a fire was raised on the ground, at this time, the wind was not strong, and the fire was done very smoothly.

Put the pot on the shelf, heat the water, throw the carried instant noodles into the pot, and it didn't take long for the group to have a hot dinner.

"Ling, it's fortunate that you came with me this time, otherwise we don't know how much suffering we will have to endure this trip." Daisy Louise glanced at Jane Foster, who was whispering a discussion with Professor Shagway, and Daisy Louise regretted her visit.

If it weren't for Ling Xiao at California State University, I'm afraid they would have to sit in an off-road vehicle right now, nibbling on dry food, drinking cold water, huddled up and going to sleep, such a day is really not human.

Ling Xiao smiled lightly, indeed, his joining helped Jane Foster a lot, at least stuffed a lot of daily necessities into his car, if it was just their off-road vehicle, just stuffing a series of equipment would be enough.

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

"In this way, not only are you involved in a very important genetic project, but you also have a pharmacy of your own." Daisy Louise looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, everyone is a student who is about to graduate from their senior year, why is there such a big gap between anyone.

"yes, I think that's why Professor Cooper asked me to come with you." Ling Xiao chipped through the fire and said with an indifferent smile: "After all, this is a plateau and desert area, if something really happens, with a doctor like me, everything is more convenient, isn't it?" ”

"Hmm." Daisy Louise blinked and nodded, and continued to chat with Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao is not the kind of person who is too good at talking to please girls, and Daisy Louise is not the kind of girl who pounces on a man when she sees a pleasing man, although the two of them talked a lot this night, but when the temperature cooled down, they each went into the tent to rest, only Jane Foster and Professor Eric Shagway were still studying the stars.

The stars in this world are very different from the stars in Ling Xiao's original world, at least the position of the North Star has shifted nearly 45 degrees to the northwest, and it is not so clear, and the positions of other stars have changed a lot, but Ling Xiao was not an astrologer in his previous life, and he can't say the specifics.

It is precisely because of the changes in the stars that some of the spells related to the stars on the Ling Xiao God and Demon List cannot be used, of course, this is also due to the fact that his cultivation is too low.

When Daisy Louise woke up in the morning, she happened to see Ling Xiao sitting alone by the fire that was about to be extinguished, looking up at the sky, and felt a little sad inexplicably.

Sensing the appearance of someone behind him, Ling Xiao's body moved, and the previous feeling immediately disappeared, which made Daisy Louise even more curious.

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

"I'll wake up at three o'clock." Ling Xiao took out a bag of biscuits from the box next to her and handed it to Daisy Louise, and said with a smile: "I have to be responsible for the night in the second half of the night, you don't think that we are sleeping on this desert plateau, nothing will happen at night, right?" ”

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

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

Last night, after Ling Xiao and Daisy Louise rested, Jane Foster and Professor Eric Shagway were busy until late at night, and they didn't go back to rest until Ling Xiao got up in the middle of the night to take over from Professor Shagway.

When the two of them woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and after a little breakfast, the group followed the map to the nearest town, Antica Pointe.

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

At an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, the small town of Antica Pointe has a population of just over 2,000 people, the whole city is square, the buildings are concentrated in the area of a kilometer, there are no high-rise buildings and no buildings, most of the buildings are small buildings and bungalows of two or three floors, the tallest building in the town is only a four-story hospital building, and the outside is surrounded by desert plateaus.

After a busy morning, the group rented a bungalow on the edge of the town, this house at number 1001 has a wide floor-to-ceiling window instead of a wall on the street side, so that you can clearly see everything outside.

The group didn't bring much stuff, and it wouldn't stay here for too long, so after a busy afternoon, it was basically settled.

After a brief dinner at a fast food restaurant, the group drove out into the desert again.

As for the specific location of the observation, Jane is still calculating, but for the time when this astronomical phenomenon may appear, she has already calculated it before she came, it should be about a week later, and the error will not exceed a day or two.

The reason for coming a week in advance was the need to do a lot of field surveys to find the most suitable location for observing this astronomical phenomenon.

After a period of side knocking, Ling Xiao finally understood what Jane Foster was doing here.

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

It is important to know that the aurora often appears in the sky near the geomagnetic poles, such as the South and North Poles, and this is located in New Mexico in the southwestern United States, and if you can observe the aurora phenomenon here, it is definitely worth going down in history.
