Chapter 528: Chapter 350: Go find Feng Yi!_1
The meteorite hunters, who were chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere just now, are at daggers drawn at this moment.
Small but powerful groups have taken over the areas they are interested in, aggressively driving others away and monopolizing those spots.
Of course, the location where Feng Yi and his team were didn’t get touched. The tag of the Space Guard on Feng Yi still makes people wary, and the meteorite hunters also show some respect to this expert.
The other meteorite hunters who were driven aside weren’t idle, either. They quickly moved to other areas to search, thinking that the little black dots in the sand might be meteorite debris. They shovelled a layer of sand and stone into their bags—it might just contain little rocks!
Not to mention that group of well-equipped, experienced "Air Force," even Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu were stupefied, and Feng Yi himself was silent for an extended period.
Feng Yi: I always feel like things are developing in a weird direction.
Wen Zhiyu was so astonished that he took a while before he said:
"This is just like panning for gold!"
"You think this is much worse than gold?" Pan Weining said, "If it’s proven that what Feng Yi found is real, these little things are not cheaper than gold!"
Wen Zhiyu muttered, "Damn! Is this the legendary meteorite hunting?"
"... Should we also shovel some?" Pan Weining looked at Feng Yi.
Wen Zhiyu had already made up his mind: "Let’s shovel some too. We’ve been here for so long; we can’t go back empty-handed!"
Not returning empty-handed, regardless of the circumstances, was Wen Zhiyu’s style of doing things.
He went to the vehicle, rummaged for bags, grabbed some tools, and was about to get out of the car when he suddenly came back and asked Jia, who was guarding the car:
"Do you think what your boss found is real?"
Jia earnestly said, "If my boss says it’s real, then it definitely is!"
"Your boss only said it’s possible."
"Then it’s definitely possible."
"... Never mind, it’s no use asking you."
Wen Zhiyu turned and left. The driver’s response was simply because Feng Yi was his boss—no matter what was asked, the answer always favored his boss.
Returning with the bags and tools, Wen Zhiyu handed a bag and a small shovel to Pan Weining and asked Feng Yi, "Should we just dig here?"
Feng Yi sensed for a bit, there indeed were particles here, and said, "Just shovel here, and over there..."
Feng Yi raised his hand to draw a circle when suddenly, two figures dashed past. They were two meteorite hunters who had been keeping an eye on Feng Yi.
Wen Zhiyu swung his shovel, ready to compete, but was stopped by Feng Yi:
"Not just this place, there’s no need to waste time fighting over it."
Wen Zhiyu thought about it and agreed. A meteorite as large as a fireball broke apart; its particles must be scattered over a large area. It couldn’t just be in such a small spot.
"Let’s move a bit further ahead," Feng Yi said.
"Okay. You tell me where to dig, just hint it to me quietly—don’t speak out loud!"
While talking, Wen Zhiyu turned to look back.
Upon looking, he said irritably, "Those damn tag-alongs are at it again!"
It was the group of well-equipped but inexperienced "Air Force" teams.
They continued to walk forward, and after a while, Wen Zhiyu turned back to look again.
"The tag-alongs have multiplied!"
Not only a few of the well-equipped "Air Force," but also other meteorite hunters were there.
Clearly, everyone was convinced that Feng Yi, the "Space Guard expert," had a keen eye.
Feng Yi didn’t bother with the group following behind and pointed out a few locations to Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining.
While those two were busy, Feng Yi saw Jia taking out a jar to shovel sand.
"Are you collecting too?"
"No, the steward asked me to bring a jar of sand back for him," Jia said.
Feng Yi thought for a while and went back to the car to get an empty jar.
He was not shoveling sand. Instead, he was carrying the small jar, picking up black granules on the ground as he walked.
He picked up the slightly bigger particles, ignoring the finer, smaller ones.
Wherever Feng Yi had walked, it wasn’t long before someone would come and shovel away the top layer of soil and stone.
By the time Feng Yi filled the empty jar, Wen Zhiyu had also filled three bags to the brim, drenched in sweat but feeling accomplished.
Three big bags of sand and stone, selected by Wen Zhiyu himself, contained a lot of black-grained sand. Whether it was meteorite matter, he didn’t know, but he decided to shovel it back first for inspection.
Wen Zhiyu, catching his breath, said, "Let’s just shovel these for now. The meteorite’s debris is spread over too broad an area, and even if we picked for a day, it would only cover a tiny spot. What’s the plan next?"
Feng Yi said, "Let’s head back and send this for analysis first."
Wen Zhiyu agreed, "Right, analysis first! I can’t stop worrying until we get the results."
Pan Weining thought the same, "Let’s take the road by the highway on the way back. It’s a little further, but there’s a network."
The group packed up and started the return journey.
Because Team Leader Yuan had specifically mentioned it earlier, Feng Yi sent a message to the other side when there was network coverage.
Another part of the desert.
The Space Guard Special Investigation Team and the Security Department’s personnel were looking at a sample of sand and dust collected.
Besides this area, people had been sent to various other regions to collect sand and dust samples as well.
"No idea if there’s debris from that fireball meteorite in the dust. We have to take it back for analysis and comparison to find out its possible composition. What do you think—is that iron meteorite we found just now our target?"
Team Leader Yuan, who was looking at team members categorizing the samples by label, said, "Let the data speak. This is not something you and I can decide simply by what we think."
The other person, not as solemn as Team Leader Yuan, smiled and then asked, "What about the video, then? Do you think that part of the video is real?"
Team Leader Yuan: "Up to now, according to the results of our investigation, there are no signs of falsification."
