Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 824

"Hot, hot, hot!" In order to get more sponsorship, Jonathan Hadley went to great lengths to please his clients. He was ruthless and took a bag of fast food directly from the iron pot on the campfire, then sizzled and cried out as he was burned.

“Please be careful, Professor Hadley.” Thierry reached out and took the bag of fast food from Jonathan Hadley, then took a bowl, tore open the package, put the bag in the bowl, and took a disposable spoon to sit down and eat.

"Ah! Mr. Lockhart, be careful...it's hot." Although Jonathan Hadley made a fool of himself, he still tried to warn him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Tierra eating the scalding hot instant curry.

"It is indeed a little hot," Tierra said calmly.

Normally, in the wild, in deserts like this, the food for scientific expedition teams usually consists of energy bars, canned meat or canned fish, and would never be instant curry that requires a lot of water to boil.

But
Who told Tierra to give so much money?

Of the thirty-odd jeeps, six were used for transporting water, and eight were used for transporting supplies and scientific instruments.

In addition, most of the professors and scholars treated this scientific expedition as a publicly funded trip, so they preferred packaged instant curry, which is more palatable, when purchasing food.

Tiera, on the other hand, didn't care. He had plenty of money, and they could be as greedy as they wanted.

As the old saying goes, every gift of fate comes with a price already marked in secret.

They thought they were just greedy for some money, but in reality they were being dragged into a huge conspiracy.

The campfire burned brightly, illuminating everyone's faces. After Tierra started cooking the curry, the others gradually scooped their food from the boiling pot and began to enjoy it.

Because they were in the desert, neither Tierra nor the rest of the expedition team poured the curry into bowls to eat. Instead, they carried the bowls along with the curry packets. This was convenient in two ways: first, it saved them from using extra water to wash the dishes; second, it made storage easier. The desert ecosystem is extremely fragile, and any introduction of foreign substances could damage it. Therefore, after finishing their meal, they simply collected the packets with soup stains and took them with them.

The members of Jonathan Hadley's research group were a little reserved at first, but after seeing Tierra simply sitting there quietly enjoying her lunch, they gradually relaxed and began to discuss the expedition, their own work, and some interesting things in their lives.

And Tierra—

I sat there quietly, listening to these young scientists talk about their research and discoveries, feeling the passion and focus from the expedition team.

After lunch, Jonathan Hadley convened a brief meeting with the other research groups to discuss the action plan for the next day.

Of course, people from other research groups also couldn't help but ask their students to meet and shake hands with Tiera one-on-one.

They planned to take advantage of the lower wind and sand levels early in the morning to conduct a detailed exploration inside the George Crater.

After the meeting, the members of the geological research group began to discuss their work plan.

Since this was a joint scientific expedition, they decided to divide themselves into several groups, each responsible for different tasks, in order to maximize efficiency and results.

Because of the large number of geologists, the geology team was divided into two groups. The first group, led by Jonathan Hadley, was a geology and astronomy group, consisting of Jonathan Hadley's research group, Yazd Spin's research group, and Adam Hagiev's research group. Their research focused on geology and astronomy.

These three research teams will travel to the southern area of ​​the George Crater to conduct geological exploration, focusing on the search for potential volcanic rocks and magma deposits. They will use their onboard instruments to conduct detailed analyses of the rock structure and mineral composition to obtain more information about the geological formations.

Additionally, demonstration cameras will be installed on the three highest peaks of the George Ring to capture the movement of stars over the course of nearly a week.

The second team, led by geologist Johnny Oz's group, will travel to the impact crater area around George Crater to explore the characteristics of the rocks and minerals formed by the impact. They plan to use high-tech instruments to sample rocks to determine the time and scale of the impact event and attempt to find possible meteorite debris and collect samples.

The climatology research group decided to set up meteorological monitoring equipment in different directions of the George Crater to monitor changes in meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

By comparing and analyzing data from different locations, they hope to reveal the climate characteristics and patterns of change in this region.

The ecology team will travel to the oasis region in the center of the George Ring to conduct a biodiversity survey.

They plan to understand the species and distribution of flora and fauna in the area through methods such as video surveillance and biological sampling, without disturbing the ecosystem.

In addition, they will collect soil and vegetation samples to study the stability and resilience of the ecosystem.

Of course, everyone present was a seasoned field researcher, and they were already very familiar with the process of field data collection and sampling. The purpose of their meeting was simply to assign tasks and explain how to respond to emergencies in advance.

After the discussion, each research group left someone to keep watch, and then went to rest around the campfire.

After all, we are in the wild now. Although it is a relatively safe area, we still need to keep watch at night in case of any sudden geological disasters that we are unable to respond to.

Tiera was originally prepared to keep watch, since he wasn't required to join the expedition into the George Ring.

But Jonathan Hadley firmly objected, telling Tierra to quickly go back to her tent and rest.

I don't know if it's because they don't want to tire out their benefactor, or if they're worried about Tiyela keeping watch at night.

However, Tierra was happy with this arrangement.

As night deepened, only the sound of the wind and the steady breathing of the team members remained in the camp.

In the stillness of the desert night, the campfire flickered faintly, illuminating the expedition team's camp.

After a tiring day of work, the team members gradually drifted off to sleep, enjoying a rare moment of peace and tranquility.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness. The campfire in the camp flickered with a soft light, casting a warm and peaceful glow over everything. In the distance, the desert sky twinkled with countless stars, like countless glittering eyes watching over this sleeping land.
