When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 287 Intense Light from the Depths of the Universe

According to the latest news just sent by my country's National Space Administration.

A powerful beam of light suddenly emanated from the depths of space without warning.

However, researchers and space experts from my country's space agency have confirmed that this beam of light will not have any safety impact on any living organisms.

Please do not panic!

As Zhu Chongjiu finished reading the message that suddenly popped up on his phone, the bright light disappeared, and the sky returned to its normal color.

It was as if what had just happened had never occurred.

"Sit down and eat. These are profound matters that ordinary people like us can't understand."

When his wife told him to continue eating, Zhu Chongjiu replied, "I've finished eating," and then went to the window.

"An old saying goes that unusual celestial phenomena indicate that something big is about to happen."

And it's such an obvious anomaly!

"What's the big deal?"

Even if something major happens, the country will be there to support us.

We can only let it be!

After complaining to Zhu Chongjiu, his wife continued, "How many days of rest will you get this time?"

"Not sure, wait for a call from above."

It will probably take three or four days.

As Zhu Chongjiu spoke, he walked to the dining table to help his wife clear the dishes.

When Zhu Chongjiu came to clear the dishes, his wife took the child and went to wash the child's face and change the child's clothes.

Time flew by, and a week passed, but there was still no movement from the construction site.

Zhu Chongjiu was getting a little anxious about the fact that a craftsman like him, who made a living by working hours, was like this.

"Honey, I'm going to check on the construction site. Why hasn't the work started yet?"

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu getting dressed and about to leave, I said, "Why don't you make a phone call and ask?"

"Do I really have to go there in person?"

"No, I won't feel at ease unless I go to the site myself to see for myself."

After replying to his wife, Zhu Chongjiu was already dressed and ready to go downstairs.

Twenty minutes later, Zhu Chongjiu parked the car at the entrance of the construction site, got out, put on his safety helmet, and entered the site.

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu stepped into the construction site gate, he sensed an atmosphere that was different from usual.

The roar of the large machinery was deafening.

"Why are there so many excavators and bulldozers?"

"The construction site doesn't need so many excavators right now!"

As Zhu Chongjiu pondered this, he walked into the construction site.

Before we had gone far into the construction site, we saw our boss looking at the construction site with a worried expression.

Zhu Chongjiu quickly ran two steps to the boss's back.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's voice, the boss turned to look at him and, seeing the construction site Zhu Chongjiu was pointing to, replied:

"Little Zhu is here."

Even if you don't come, I'll still call you.

I've been so worried these past few days.

"What's making you so worried, boss? The project payment settlement went smoothly, didn't it?"

Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu had made a joke, the boss turned around, grabbed him, and walked towards the project site, saying:

"I don't know why, but the excavation of the foundation is getting more and more difficult every day."

The once soft clods of earth have now become almost as hard as stone.

So, I brought in more than ten excavators.

These are all expenses!

Profit margins are already thin.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the project office.

After entering the house, the innkeeper poured two glasses of water, gave one to Zhu Chongjiu, and then asked him to sit down, continuing to pour out his grievances:

"What was originally a three- or four-day project has now taken a week and is still not finished."

I've already invested tens of thousands more, and this isn't over yet!

Zhu Chongjiu also had some questions at this moment.

If his boss had told him this on the phone, he might not have believed it.

I saw it with my own eyes; there's no way to fake it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu asked the boss:

"Why didn't you ask the client for help or inquire with the construction bureau?"

Let them invite some geological experts to take a look.

"Under normal circumstances, the soil here shouldn't be like this, right?"

At this point, Zhu Chongjiu leaned down and whispered to the boss, "Boss, you didn't dig up an ancient tomb, did you?"

I've heard that the walls surrounding ancient tombs were built with a level of sturdiness no less than our modern concrete.

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu acting strangely, the boss angrily shouted, "Get out of here!"

Our place was a sparsely populated wilderness in ancient times due to the climate.

Which king or general could be buried here?

People are being buried in the Central Plains for peace.

Haven't you heard the saying "competing for the Central Plains"?

In ancient times, the Central Plains region was the final resting place for emperors, both in life and in death.

Seeing that his boss was about to launch into a long lecture, Zhu Chongjiu quickly stood up:

"Alright, alright, you should go and see the scene."

I just came to see why construction hasn't started yet.

Now that I've finished reading, I'm leaving.

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu about to leave, the boss hurriedly said behind him, "Little Zhu, what's your hurry?"

Stay with me for a while, please.

I don't even have anyone to talk to here!

"No, no, I have to go home to be with my wife and kids."

After a few days when we officially start working, there won't be much time left.

As he spoke, Zhu Chongjiu's figure had already disappeared from the boss's sight in a flash.

Watching Zhu Chongjiu run off into the distance, the boss shook his head and chuckled, "You little rascal, you run pretty fast."

After saying that, he walked towards the construction site with a bitter face.

Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu return, his wife asked, "How was it?"

What did you find at the construction site?

"Oh!

I ran into my big boss.

While changing clothes, Zhu Chongjiu told his wife about the situation at the construction site.

"Hey, now that you mention it, I also have a strange thing I've been wanting to tell you about."

I just always forget!

"You spend all your time either at work or taking care of the kids at home, what bad things could possibly happen to you?"

Hearing Zhu Chongjiu teasing her, his wife didn't mind and continued to say to Zhu Chongjiu, "It was just the day before yesterday."

Go have lunch with your friend at noon.

I ran out of bottled water at home, so I called and asked for a bottle.

As you know, the spout of a purified water bottle is very short, and my hands aren't strong enough to hold it properly.

Normally, if I need to change the water myself, I have to drag the water bucket to the water dispenser.

However, just the day before yesterday, after the water was delivered, I inadvertently lifted the entire bucket of water.

And it didn't feel that heavy at all.

I carried the whole bucket of water to the water dispenser very easily.

Zhu Chongjiu, who had just changed his clothes and was getting himself a drink of water, replied calmly after hearing his wife's words:

"Isn't it good to have more strength?"

"Won't it be even more fun to hit me then?"

"Get out of here, you're so unprofessional."

I'm talking to you about something important!

Seeing that his wife was a little annoyed, Zhu Chongjiu immediately replied, "It's not that I'm being irresponsible, but my wife asked me something that I can't explain. How am I supposed to answer you?"

"By the way, honey, what's for lunch...?"

The uneventful days passed by one by one.

Zhu Chongjiu also started working on the fifth day after returning from the construction site.

The boss grumbles every day that he spent tens of thousands more due to geological issues.

I wanted to ask the client if they could offer some compensation, but they refused, saying it was all within the normal contract terms!

However, just as Zhu Chongjiu was welding the lightning protection grounding inside the foundation, he inadvertently saw a silvery object on the earthen wall next to him, half-buried in the soil!

Driven by curiosity, Zhu Chongjiu put down his work and began digging with the tools beside him.

Before long, Zhu Chongjiu dug a very ordinary-looking sword out of the ground.

Looking closely at this sword, there's nothing special about it. The hilt has no special inlays or patterns; it's just a wooden target hilt.

The sword itself is nothing special, about a meter long.

It's just that the color is a bit special; it's silver, a rather grayish silver.

Unlike the swords and knives we usually see, whether they are for home use or as handicrafts, which are all shiny and bright.

Moreover, the sword appears to have been broken, with signs that it was passed around in the middle.

"Holy crap, could it be an antique?"

I've found a treasure?
