891. Red enchantress (2/5)
The dark night sky suddenly became extremely bright because of the aurora.
Wang Bo hugged Eva and the little loli, leaning on the sled and staring at the aurora.
This time he wanted to give Eva a surprise, but he was shocked. I wonder if this is considered as the fragrance of giving away roses.
However, the Aurora was shocked at first sight. After watching it for a long time, although I still felt very beautiful, I didn’t feel the same way I did at the beginning.
Just at this moment, someone came over and said hello: "Hi, sir."
Wang Bo turned his head and saw a thin middle-aged man and asked, "Hi, may I ask?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you to watch the aurora. Is this beautiful scene?"
Wang Bo felt inexplicably, what did this person ask for him?
However, after all, Old Wang is a high-quality talent, so he kept a smile and said patiently: "Yes, yes, I never thought that the sky could be so beautiful, it was simply shocking."
The middle-aged man asked again: "Are you traveling to Rovaniemi?"
Wang Bo nodded and said, "I understand your mood. When I first saw the aurora, I was shocked and trembled all over. At that time, I thought my soul had left and turned into a part of the aurora."
Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand friendly: "Tony Jackson, from Texas, USA, has settled in this beautiful city."
Wang Bo shook hands with him: "I am Wang, a Chinese, and I am an immigrant like you, but I am immigrating to New Zealand. Did you immigrate here because of the Aurora?"
Jackson smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, the more important reason is that I am a sled coach. This event is very popular in Finland. I think I can develop better here."
Wang Bo understood this way. He looked at the sturdy man and the queen around him and said, "Did you come because of them?"
Jackson nodded and said, "Although today's game is far from over, I bet that you will win, and the championship is yours."
Wang Bo shrugged: "It seems that my two children have achieved great results."
"Of course, great results, 155 seconds, this is amazing." Jackson said. "What's more amazing is that this is the masterpiece of two dogs, that is, their explosive power is as amazing as a cheetah."
Wang Bo said angrily: "Yes, but I don't think they are necessarily champions. As you said, the game is far from over."
Jackson said: "They are definitely champions, this is the record of this event, and no dog has ever run into 160 seconds!"
Wang Bo vaguely guessed his plan and said, "What can it mean even if this is the case? The competition is not serious. Perhaps it is related to the low weight of the sled my dog pulls."
Because of Christmas, the competition is not very competitive, and everyone participates in this event for fun.
Therefore, the racers did not try their best to make their results better, but were enjoying the atmosphere of the festival competition. Basically, the owner drove a sled.
In this way, the sled car they pulled is naturally much smaller in weight and is much easier to run.
After the game was interrupted for a while, it started again. A new group of dogs ran over. Eva went to the statistics desk to look at it, and came back and whispered: "The first in this group is 182 seconds."
Only then did Wang Bo understand how powerful the stern and the queen were. They did not defeat their opponents, but crushed their opponents!
So he looked at Jackson and said, "Then, you come to us and don't just want to say hello or congratulate us? Do you want to buy these two children from me?"
When the little loli heard this, she hurriedly hugged the stern and the queen: "No, no, no, no! You are not allowed to sell the stern and the queen, otherwise I will definitely cry every day! I will never go to school again!"
The strong man also whined, his big head burrowed into the little loli's arms, and the queen blinked. It did not understand the current situation and continued to sit calmly aside.
Jackson said: "If you are willing to bid, I think I'd definitely like to talk about it with sincerity."
Wang Bo smiled and said, "No, we won't bid."
Jackson interrupted him and said, "I guessed that these two dogs are not professional sled dogs, you are just tourists. They are so outstanding, do you usually treat them as relatives?"
Wang Bo said: "That's right, this is our relatives, we love each other."
Jackson nodded to show his understanding, saying, "This is probably the best dog I've ever seen. A child's sled can still drive so fast, which means they are not doing their best."
"What's the meaning?"
"In sled car racing, dogs don't just drag their cars, they also need to pay attention to protecting the balance of the car. Therefore, the leading dog is so important. It should pay attention to choosing the route and protecting the owner behind it. Dogs spend part of their energy on avoiding overturning."
Jackson said: "I'm here to find you, and my biggest idea is not to buy these two dogs, because I know it's unlikely, and my primary purpose is to invite them to the Editarod Dog Sled Competition!"
The Editarod Dog Sled Competition is the World Cup in this industry, the marathon in dog competitions, and only the best racing dogs can enter this competition.
According to the rules, if the competition is held, each team will have one sled husband and sixteen dogs, and then set off from near Anchorage and drag the sled to Norm. The schedule is 1,161 miles, which is 1,868 kilometers!
The event originated in the winter of 1925, when Diphtheria was prevalent in Norm, an acute infectious disease that was raging in the city and needed serum to save lives.
A batch of diphtheria serum was transported from Anchorage to Ninana by train, and then encountered ice and snow storms, road damage and traffic jams.
In this case, some brave locals stood up, took away the serum, ran 1,125 kilometers with dog sled relay, and transported them to Nom as fast as possible, saving at least five hundred lives.
At that time, this incident was front-page news all over the world, but later due to war and other reasons, most people outside Alaska forgot the fact that the 20 brave people and their dogs saved hundreds of lives.
In the 1970s, the International Dog Racing Association dug out this incident, in order to commemorate the original behavior of the brave and the earth-shaking dog sled relay operation.
In 1973, the event was launched and was the most popular and eye-catching event in Alaska.
Unlike today's competition, the Editarod Dog Sled Competition is a completely professional event with a generous bonus and the champion receives more than one million dollars.
