Chapter 7099
In the following days, the aurora borealis no longer appeared precisely every night.
Charlie waited a week in the polar regions, only to witness the aurora twice.
To obtain more Great Sun Tathagata Hand Seals,
He used a total of four Qi Cultivation Pills in these two encounters,
Trading for another thirty-two hand seals from a mysterious entity.
These sixty-four hand seals more than doubled the efficiency of his spiritual energy growth.
Although he only had six pills left,
Charlie still hoped for the aurora’s appearance.
Unfortunately, the warm current from the North Atlantic caused temperatures in northern Europe to rise rapidly,
And the snow began to melt.
Helena told Charlie that the arrival of the North Atlantic warm current signified the end of the long winter.
The end of winter also meant the aurora’s performance in the Northern Hemisphere would come to an end.
To see the aurora in the Northern Hemisphere again,
One would have to wait until the end of the year when winter returned.
Without the aurora, staying in Northern Europe became meaningless.
However, Charlie felt that if the hand seals taught to him by the mysterious entity within him were truly the hand seals of the Great Sun Tathagata,
Then, with the Great Sun Tathagata’s supernatural powers,
The sixty-four hand seals he had learned were likely just the tip of the iceberg.
A powerful thirst for knowledge, like an invisible hand, propelled his mind and body forward relentlessly.
However, he didn’t know what other medium,
Besides the aurora borealis, it could be manipulated by the mysterious entity.
Therefore, the safest approach was to head to Antarctica.
Winter had already arrived in the Southern Hemisphere, the aurora season.
Moreover, Maria had told Charlie that March and September were the optimal months for aurora formation in Antarctica,
When the angle between the Earth’s magnetic field and the solar wind was at its best.
During these months, solar particles were more likely to enter the Earth’s atmosphere,
Resulting in the highest aurora activity and brightness—the best time to observe the aurora.
It was currently mid-March.
So Charlie immediately asked Helena, “Does Northern Europe have research stations in Antarctica?”
Helena nodded and said, “We have three research stations in the Antarctic Circle.”
“But they are all summer stations.”
“People are only sent there in the summer.”
“And the stations are closed, and the researchers are withdrawn in the winter.”
Charlie asked, “So that means these stations are currently unmanned?”
“It should be,”
Helena said. “I need to check with the relevant departments for specifics.”
She then took out her phone and said,
“Mr. Wade, please wait a moment while I make a call.”
Charlie nodded slightly, and Helena dialed a cabinet member.
After consulting with the member, she told Charlie,
“Mr. Wade, I just inquired about the specifics.”
“Two of the three research stations have already been seasonally closed,”
“And the other is conducting early winter testing in preparation for becoming a permanent station next year.”
“There are currently four staff members there,”
“And they will be returning home soon.”
“Our research vessel is currently being prepared in a port in Argentina.”
“Some supplies and new equipment need to be transported to the research station.”
“After the staff completes the installation and debugging of the equipment,”
“They will leave Antarctica with the ship.”
Charlie asked her, “Could you arrange for me to go to Antarctica with the research vessel while waiting for your people?”
“After we leave, will I stay there for a while?”
Helena asked, somewhat surprised,
“Mr. Wade, the temperature in the Antarctic Circle is already very low.”
“It’s reached minus forty degrees Celsius near the research station,”
“And it can drop to minus seventy or even lower during the coldest periods.”
“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous for you to stay there?”
Charlie replied, “It shouldn’t be dangerous.”
“But the main issue is whether it’s feasible to stay at your research station.”
Helena thought for a moment and said,
“I’m not sure if it’s feasible right now.”
“In principle, the directly managed department definitely won’t agree.”
“I can try to see if I can mediate.”
Maria chimed in, “Young Master, directly asking to stay at a national-level research station is unlikely to be approved by anyone in charge.”
“This not only involves the misuse of public resources but also poses numerous safety hazards.”
“I doubt they’ll open that door through normal channels.”
“That’s true,”
Charlie sighed. “But it’s winter in Antarctica,”
“And the climate is harsh.”
“Without a place to stay, it will be very difficult to survive.”
“Even if I can barely hold on, you, Miss Yun, and Miss Song probably won’t be able to.”
