The two groups of students from Yale and Harvard only exchanged words and did not engage in physical conflict.
With the intervention of Professor Baker and Samuel, both parties soon stopped and went about their own business.
After this little episode subsided, Xiao Ran said to everyone present:
"Guys, we are going to launch a joint exploration operation to explore this unknown colonial treasure"
"I won't chat with you any more, please do it yourself!"
After saying that, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others to where his employees gathered.
Professor Baker and the others immediately followed, and everyone was full of expectations.
When they walked away, Julian immediately whispered:
"Samuel, Langdon, should we go to the Central Cemetery to explore, or should we stay here and observe Sean's actions?"
"Seeing how confident Sean is, I really want to see how he finds this colonial treasure."
Samuel and Professor Langdon looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
"We also want to see how this guy Sean explores the treasure and see if he can create miracles again"
"Let's stay here and observe for a while, as long as we don't disturb them. We'll go to the Central Cemetery later."
After reaching a consensus, Samuel immediately called a doctoral student and whispered a few instructions.
Next, the doctoral student went to notify other members of the Harvard University exploration team.
As a result, everyone in the Harvard University exploration team stayed and watched every move of the joint exploration team curiously.
Of course, the eyes of these guys are full of resentment and disdain!
The other side.
Xiao Ran glanced at the joint exploration team and said with a smile:
"Guys, today is our first exploration operation, and there are opponents watching from the side."
"Just now, I reached a verbal agreement with several Harvard professors to start a competition to see who can find this colonial treasure first."
"What happens next depends on everyone's performance. I hope that our joint exploration team will be the first to find this colonial treasure."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the joint exploration team's eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
Especially those guys from Yale University, they are all eager to try and can't wait to take action.
"Awesome! Sean, it must be us who finally find this colonial treasure."
"At that time, I really want to see the faces of those bastards at Harvard University. It will definitely be very exciting."
Cooper shouted, pumping his fist.
Before he finished speaking, the other Yale students had already responded.
Not only that, these guys also raised their middle fingers to the Harvard students not far away.
Seeing this scene, the guys at Harvard couldn't bear it and started yelling and cursing.
Xiao Ran smiled and then continued:
"Just talking about it is of no use. Whether or not this colonial treasure can be discovered depends on everyone's performance."
"That's all there is to say. Let's start working. I hope we can find something."
"Just group them into groups according to the previously decided one, and start exploring in groups of three."
"If you find anything, be sure to notify me as soon as possible. I will take a look at the situation and then decide what to do."
After the words fell, everyone in the joint exploration team immediately responded:
"Understood, Sean, it's up to us."
Afterwards, everyone immediately took action and started taking action.
In the blink of an eye, the grouping was completed.
Immediately afterwards, each exploration team opened some of the suitcases they brought and took out the exploration equipment contained inside.
These exploration equipment include pulse metal scanners, ground-penetrating radar, etc., which are the most advanced archaeological exploration equipment in the world today, and each piece is valuable.
In particular, the two trolley-shaped ground penetrating radars, as soon as they were assembled, their unique shapes immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone.
Many people didn't know what these two pieces of equipment were and were full of curiosity, including some media reporters.
Professor Samuel, who often leads archaeological teams around the world, recognized these two pieces of equipment at a glance and even exclaimed in a low voice.
"Wow! That seems to be the top small ground penetrating radar in the world today. It is mainly used for exploring various minerals, such as gold mines, etc."
"As far as I know, the detection depth of this three-dimensional ground penetrating radar is close to one hundred meters, and the price is extremely high. One unit is worth millions of dollars."
"Sean is really extravagant. He is equipped with two ground-penetrating radars at once. No wonder he is so confident!"
When Samuel said this, his words were full of envy and jealousy.
The other two Harvard professors standing nearby also looked a little red with envy.
"If we had such a device, we would be much more likely to successfully find this colonial treasure."
"Samuel, do you think we can get a piece of equipment like this?"
Julian said with envy.
However, Samuel shook his head helplessly.
"Such top-notch equipment is not easy to buy. It even needs to be specially customized. It is obviously too late now."
"Although we can't get such an advanced ground-penetrating radar, we can think of a way to get one or two ordinary ground-penetrating radars, which may have a big effect."
While they were discussing, the joint exploration team took action.
After completing their groups and assembling their equipment, many exploration groups dispersed one after another and began to explore the grass on the east and north sides of the Washington Statue.
To the west of the Washington Statue is a piece of hardened ground and a stone road. Not far along the stone road to the west is the road to the west of the Boston Common.
On the other side of the highway is the famous Boston Back Bay Business District, which is the most prosperous business district in Boston.
In order to build various buildings and roads in Back Bay, countless excavations and reinforcements have been carried out deep underground on the west side of the Washington Statue.
There cannot be any treasure deep underground in that land, unless the treasure is buried extremely deep!
If the treasure is buried extremely deep, it will be difficult for a pulse metal detector to find it, and deep ground-penetrating radar can only be used for exploration.
Not far from the south side of the Washington Statue, there is a lake. There is little possibility of treasures hidden in the lake.
After analysis and discussion by Xiao Ran, Professor Baker and others, the two grasslands to the east and north of the statue were finally determined as the focus of exploration.
Since records began, there have been no buildings on these two grasslands. Apart from slight changes in size, they have not changed much.
If that unknown colonial treasure is buried near the Washington statue, it's most likely beneath these two meadows.
Of course, Xiao Ran did not intend to give up the open space to the west of the statue and the lake to the south.
He will ask his employees to explore those two areas with deep ground-penetrating radar to see if they can find anything.
As various exploration groups started taking action, the scene suddenly became more lively.
The onlookers gathered outside the cordon, as well as many media reporters, were full of curiosity and followed every move of each exploration team.
“Is that unknown colonial treasure really buried near the Washington statue?”
"We have been to this place countless times. Who would have thought that there might be an amazing treasure buried deep underground?"
"Based on the current situation, this possibility exists. Otherwise, Harvard University's exploration team and the joint exploration team would not be able to come here to explore."
People were talking enthusiastically and looking forward to a miracle happening.
Compared to others, Professor Samuel has a more professional vision.
Looking at the joint exploration team with clear division of labor and orderly operations, several Harvard professors couldn't help but feel a little worried.
What they were worried about, of course, was that they would lose the game and the colonial treasure would be discovered by Xiao Ran and the others.
In that case, their faces would be somewhat unsightly. After all, this is the home court of Harvard University.
At this time, Xiao Ran was studying the terrain of this area with Professor Baker.
"In comparison, the Public Garden was built a little later than the Boston Common next door, but it was also built before the Revolutionary War."
"After the completion of the public garden, except for the area on the west side near Back Bay, the deep underground in other places has basically not been touched."
"The Washington statue has not moved since it was placed here. It has always stood here."
"If the colonial treasure we are looking for is hidden here, it must not have been discovered and is still sleeping deep underground."
Professor Baker introduced the situation at the scene.
Xiao Ran listened quietly and kept looking at the surrounding terrain.
During this period, he secretly turned on clairvoyance and looked at the situation deep underground, but no one knew about it.
Unfortunately, there were no surprising findings.
While he was talking, a pleasant chirp from a metal detector suddenly came from not far away.
Following this sound, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Without exception, a look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.
Is that unknown colonial treasure really buried here? But it was too easy to discover, right?
…
Beijing, midnight.
In the second ring road, there is a compound surrounded by tall red walls.
In one of the warm and elegant study rooms, several senior leaders were listening to reports.
"Leader, among the information Xiao Ran sent back this time, there is a list of all members of the Skull and Bones Society from its establishment to the present."
"Including all the members of the Skull and Bones Society who are currently alive, and there are many powerful people among them."
"Through the list of Skull and Bones members, we can outline a network of relationships in the upper class of the United States. Some things that originally seemed complicated are now clear!"
A middle-aged man in his forties said.
In front of him was a stack of documents that had just been printed.
Several leaders in this study room also held a freshly printed document in their hands.
Hearing this, one of the big leaders suddenly smiled and said:
"It seems that Xiao Ran gained a lot from his previous trip to Yale!"
"That time he entered the Skull and Bones Society's tomb to hunt for treasure. He must have turned the Skull and Bones Society upside down, and that's why he got so much important information."
“I don’t know how this kid did it, it’s really amazing!”
"Hahaha"
Several other people at the scene all laughed and echoed a few words of appreciation.
"This kid can always create all kinds of miracles and bring us surprises one after another. It's amazing!"
"Yes! What I want to hear most right now is what kind of valuable information this kid has sent back!"
Several leaders said with a smile.
After the laughter subsided, the middle-aged man immediately continued his report.
"In addition to the list of Skull and Bones members, the intelligence sent back by Xiao Ran also contains the outline of many confidential documents from the CIA!"
"That rumor is correct. CIA officials often bring various confidential documents to the Skull and Bones Society to discuss with the Skull and Bones members at school."
"One of the most valuable pieces of information is a strategic research report from the Rand Corporation."
"Ah! I need to take a good look at the Rand Corporation's strategic research report."
One leader said in surprise.
With that said, several leaders quickly flipped through the documents, quickly turned to the summary of the Rand Corporation's strategic research report, and read it carefully.
As for the middle-aged man, he continued to report the situation.
"In this heavyweight strategic research report, RAND Corporation strategy experts propose"
"The United States must find ways to provoke disputes between Ukraine and Russia to achieve the purpose of weakening Germany and Europe, and further attack and weaken Russia!"
“The most fundamental purpose is to attract European capital to transfer to the United States, alleviate the crisis caused by the current special situation, and deepen our control over Germany and Europe!”
"Through this strategic research report, combined with the situation of the CIA's activities in Europe that Xiao Ran reported through the New York Consulate General, everything suddenly became clear!"
"In other words, the CIA has secretly implemented the strategies proposed in this research report..."
Hearing this, the big leader sitting in the middle suddenly waved his hand.
Seeing his gesture, the middle-aged man who was reporting immediately stopped talking, and the scene immediately became quiet.
After a while, the big leader nodded and said:
"The information Xiao Ran sent back is so timely and precious! Especially this strategic research report from the Rand Corporation."
"The Americans are trying to kill two birds with one stone. They are really good at calculating and playing a big game of chess!"
"In the eyes of the Americans, there are no allies, only real interests! For the sake of interests, they will do anything they can!"
"For us, this might be a good opportunity. We can take advantage of it and make a profit!"
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Did the antiques and artworks that Xiao Ran sent back to China this time be sent to the bank vault in Financial Street?"
"Using this excuse, you go and make arrangements to invite Xiao Ran's family over for a casual meal."
"This kid has done so much for the country, we should also show some appreciation and encourage this little guy!"
After the words fell, the middle-aged man in the office immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, leader, I'll make arrangements later!"
"As for the treasures that Xiao Ran sent home this time, they have all been sent to Financial Street, and there are quite a lot of them!"
