Chapter 32: The North Star and the Lonely Star [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
Polaris, also known as Beichen, Zigong, and Ziweiyuan, refers to the star closest to the North Celestial Pole, located at the northern end of the Earth's axis, on the five-fold extension of the line between Tianxuan and Tianshu in the Big Dipper.
Due to the rotation of the Earth, and Polaris is on the axis of rotation of the celestial sphere, it is stationary relative to other stars.
But due to precession, Polaris is not a star whose position is always the same.
For example, the North Star referred to at this stage is a star called 'Gou Chenyi'.
In the era of Magellan's voyages, Gou Chenyi had an angle difference of about 8 degrees from the North Celestial Pole, and in the 21st century, Gou Chenyi is closer to the North Celestial Pole, with an angle difference of only 40 points.
Astronomers calculated based on the wobble of the Earth's axis and the gravitational pull of the stars that by 2100 AD, Gou Chenyi would reach the closest position directly above the North Pole, which would be only 28 minutes away from the North Celestial Pole, and then Gou Chenyi would gradually move away from the North Celestial Pole.
By 14,000 AD, Vega will replace Gou Chenyi as the 'new' North Star.
Every 25,800 years, the pole star is reincarnated, during which many stars have the opportunity to become the North Star, such as Shaowei Zengba, such as the right pivot, such as ......
And on the middle vertical line between the fourth Tianquan and the seventh shaking light of the Big Dipper, there is a star called 'Tiansha Lone Star', which happens to be one of them.
………………
After the last time she parted with the handsome guy on the beach, Lorna found herself unlucky.
After getting out of the area shrouded by the electromagnetic pulse, she wanted to set up her destination in the way she remembered cyber teachings, and then let the yacht start driving and send herself to South Carolina.
But after starting the engine, looking at the dense buttons on the console, my head was suddenly as big as a bucket, and I fell into confusion.
After a random operation, although the yacht was successfully launched, the route had long been deviated to the point that I didn't know where to go.
After three days at sea, she finally realized that something was wrong.
At the yacht's speed, half a day from Miami to South Caroliro should have been enough, but she's been sailing for three days and hasn't even seen a shadow of land.
Knowing the fact that she had gone astray, Lorna was furious and used too much force, and slapped the autopilot system again...
In desperation, she had no choice but to use her ability to sense the north and south of the geomagnetic field, and then control the yacht and sail to the northwest.
After another five days at sea, Lorna finally saw land, but not South Carolina, but New Jersey, which borders New York.
Fortunately, the yacht was stocked with enough food and fresh water so that she would not starve to death on the way.
After arriving in New York, Lorna had planned to hire a fishing boat to help her find the island of "Utopia" in Cyber's mouth, where the legendary X-Men were located.
As a result, she sadly found that she was penniless.
But Lorna Dayne is not the kind of person who gives up easily, so she immediately found a part-time job at a convenience store, ready to save enough money.
It's a pity that people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth.
Just a few days after work, I encountered two thugs who entered the store and robbed it.
It's just a robbery, anyway, it's the boss who loses, and it has nothing to do with her, but I didn't think those two bastards would want to do anything to her.
At this time, Lorna couldn't bear it anymore, and directly activated the ability, making the two chickens fly and eggs, losing the most important function of a man.
The identity of the mutant was revealed, and it was naturally impossible for her to continue to stay in the convenience store, and she didn't even have time to ask the boss for her salary, so she took a few packets of potato chips and left in a hurry.
After this incident, Lorna swore that it would be impossible to work part-time in the future, and it would be impossible for her to work under someone else in her life.
Coincidentally, the scene where she used her ability to beat up the bandits happened to be seen by a passing mutant beauty.
After Lorna leaves, the mutant named Sonia Simonson makes the way and blocks Lorna in an alley and identifies himself as a mutant.
Then they invited Lorna to visit their organization, and Lorna, who had nowhere else to go, agreed without much hesitation.
After a few days in this small mutant support group, Lorna felt like home.
Everyone in it is talented, and they speak well, everyone is mutant, and they don't discriminate against each other, she likes it very much.
But the good times didn't last long, and I don't know if it was Lorna or someone else who accidentally leaked her tracks, causing the group to be targeted by the guys from the Sentinel Secret Service who had noses smarter than dogs.
On a dark and windy night, more than a hundred soldiers of the Sentinel Secret Service descended from the sky and launched a surprise attack on them.
Not only are these soldiers equipped with their own weapons against mutants, but they also control a number of combat-type mutants to work for them through some unknown means.
With mental calculations or unintentional, the more than twenty mutants in the organization were quickly defeated and captured, and only Lorna broke through with her own strength.
It's a pity that in this era of surveillance everywhere, she has never been able to shake off the tail that follows her.
The two sides chased and fled, and it has been going on for three days.
Physically, and mentally, Lorna felt like she was reaching her limit.
'Bell, bell, bell—'
A dark green glow surrounded the surface of her hands, and with a flick of Lorna's index and middle fingers, the door of a nearby Ford car fell off automatically, and she quickly stopped in front of her, stopping the ceramic bullet that was fired at her.
"Get out of here!"
Then Lorna raised her hands, then swung forward sharply, roaring angrily.
The surrounding metalwork was like a soldier who had heard the horn of the charge, and it invariably smashed at a dozen or so heavily armed sentry soldiers on the opposite side.
Lorna then controlled the black high-tops with spikes on her feet and flew herself, trying to jump over a high wall and get rid of the group behind her for a while.
However, as the elite troops of the Sentinel Secret Service, how could they let Lorna get her wish with their experience.
After evading Lorna's attack by taking cover, a man and a woman emerged from among the soldiers, their skin pale, their eyes blank, and their faces glazed, like robots.
The blonde man looked at Lorna, who was soaring into the sky, and with a close of his palms, an invisible wall of air stood in front of her.
Then he crossed his index finger and let out a loud shout, creating a vacuum underneath Lona.
Caught off guard, Lorna was engulfed by the raging air currents and fell straight down.
At the moment when the blonde man moved, the Asian woman next to him holding a black and gray ceramic-based carbon fiber dagger also moved at the same time.
Thirty meters away, in less than a second, she crossed it, leaving only an afterimage in the eyes of everyone.
Looking at the dagger that was getting closer and closer to her neck, Lorna suddenly thought of a lot, including her father who died in an accident, her mother who died of cancer, and her mutant friends who were caught, and gradually closed her tired eyes.
Looking back on the life she has experienced, she feels that giving up may also be a good choice.
It would be nice if you weren't a mutant yourself.
