Chapter 388: 388
Woo Tianhao roared with laughter as he made fun of Zaro .
With a rigid face, Zaro slapped away the fine white dust on his hands . Beside him, Barbara avoided him like the plague .
Mitisy stifled his laughter . When he saw Colonel Song Ping, he ran over to borrow excavation equipment and mentioned to him their donation ideas that they came up with on the journey here . Song Ping was delighted; regardless whether it was garlic, a dojo, or a gym, they needed all of those!
When Fang Zhao heard this, he also chimed in, "I will take part too . What else does the base lack?"
Song Ping pondered for a bit before coughing lightly in an awkward manner . "How about you contribute a KTV bar?" Song Ping wasn't bragging, but when it came to singing military songs, nobody in Bu Base would claim that they were better than him! Just that it was unfortunate that he didn't have a place to exhibit it .
Fang Zhao: "… I will, if it is approved . "
As they were speaking, Curly Hair, who had been squeezed into a tent by Fang Zhao, stuck his head out and stared over at where Zaro and the others were .
Zaro, who had been just made the butt of a joke, was twitching his lips . He got up, turned on his detector, and changed another spot to survey when he heard a shrill beeping .
The few people who had just been avoiding Zaro all turned to look back .
"Eh?" Zaro waved the detector about . "There is something beneath the sand here… hey hey, what are you doing!"
Zaro squeezed out Woo Tianhao, who had scrambled over and started digging . He then ordered his bodyguards, "It's here! Dig!"
After day broke, the temperature rapidly soared . Everyone had perspiration dripping down their faces, but they were in high spirits and didn't hide inside the tents .
A bodyguard held out an opened umbrella to block out the sun and Zaro stood under it . Zaro downed a glass of water, wiped his face, and observed the two bodyguards digging . This was a metal piece he had detected . When it was out, he could use it as a souvenir and bring it back to show off!
Over at Flemington's side, the excavation activities had gone on for some time already and they had found quite a few metal fragments in succession . Although they existed for a long time, these metal fragments didn't seem to have too severe signs of corrosion . According to the analysis results of the technicians, these metal fragments were probably from a spaceship or exploratory ship . The materials found were similar to the ones found on the Arcturus and other exploratory ships .
The metal piece that Zaro had discovered didn't arouse Flemington's attention . Right now, Flemington's main focus was all on the sand pit .
The two bodyguards dug out the top layer of sand and some rolled-up metal sheets were revealed . One of the bodyguards was about to use force and yank it out but was stopped by Zaro .
"Careful, careful!" Zaro blocked off the bodyguard who had been digging . "In the old archeology flicks I saw, you have to first brush off the sand and then blow lightly…"
As he said that, Zaro got down to his knees and inhaled . He had yet to blow when a gust of wind gave him a face full of sand .
He wiped his face miserably . The sand had mixed with his sweat to turn onto a muddy paste, and his face was all messy . Zaro no longer had any patience and pulled the whole metal sheet out from the sand .
"There are even words—hey!"
Zaro brushed off the sand on the metal sheet and blew gently . This time he took note of the wind direction .
Most of the metal sheet was already ruined and all fuzzy so the words couldn't be distinguished . Fortunately, there was still a small portion in the middle that was clear .
Zaro rotated the metal sheet a few times . "This should be the right way up . It's a letter…'n'?"
Mitisy came over and studied it . "Looks like 'η', the right portion is clearly a little longer . "
"Oh? Is it? No wonder I felt that something wasn't right…" Zaro replied .
He hadn't finished speaking when Barbara rushed over and snatched the metal sheet before kicking Zaro to the side .
Zaro was furious at being kicked aside . He rolled up his sleeves preparing to take revenge but was stopped by Mitisy .
"Barbara, are you able to recognize it?" Mitisy asked as he held of Zaro .
Barbara's reaction was too huge . She no longer kept the image of a noble and virtuous young lady . Even her fan had been chucked aside .
Instances that could make Barbara act this way were extremely rare . Mitisy, who wasn't able to see any useful information, waited for her answer .
Hearing Mitisy say this, Zaro also froze and glanced over . Zaro trembled as he saw the twinkling in Barbara's eyes . Had this unreasonable demon gone crazy?
There was still quite some sand and a layer of grime on it . At this moment, Barbara couldn't care less about her obsession with cleanliness . Her two hands held the metal sheet firmly as she stared at it . There was shock, fervor, infatuation, and crazed looks in her eyes, as though she had seen a 100 kg diamond .
"The Alkaid… the 'η' letter imprint . It is definitely the Alkaid, there's no doubt about it!"
"What?!" Flemington's pitch became higher . He had came over unnoticed by the others . He couldn't believe his ears . All his internal organs shuddered when he heard "Alkaid" .
With his hand propped to his ears, Mitisy had also heard it . His face was similarly filled with shock . "You mean to say that the thing buried here is the Alkaid, one of the seven fabled primal interstellar exploratory spacecrafts of Dream Team?! Wasn't the Alkaid said to have met with an accident in the preliminary stage and was destroyed?"
Flemington breathed heavily . "Contact with the Alkaid was lost . Just that no traces of it were discovered all these years so people guessed that it must have met with some geomagnetic storm in space and was destroyed and vanished from the universe .
Za·Dunce·ro appeared to be at a loss . What was an 'Alkaid'? Was there such an exploratory spacecraft?"
