The exploration continues at the Boston Public Garden.
Xiao Ran carefully checked the metal signal detected by the pulse metal detector, thought for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.
"Judging from the detected metal signals, these metal objects scattered underground do not look like treasures."
"Judging from their distribution and burial depth, these things may be some old weapons or agricultural tools."
"Before the Revolutionary War, there may have been a small-scale battle here, so these old weapons were left behind, or they may have been barns."
"For the joint exploration team, these things have no value, so there is no need to waste time here."
Upon hearing his words, a look of disappointment flashed across the faces of Professor Baker and others.
The exploration team that discovered these metal objects was naturally even more disappointed.
Next, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the meaning of various data on the metal detector.
In fact, Professor Baker and the others, who often go out for archeology, also understand what these data represent.
They had no different opinions on Xiao Ran's analysis.
Samuel and others standing not far away could guess the result in the blink of an eye through the changes in their expressions.
"Obviously, the metal signal scanned by Sean's men is not the colonial treasure they are looking for."
"As long as it's not a colonial treasure, to be honest, I was really shocked just now!"
"I thought Sean was so lucky that he found this colonial treasure in a blink of an eye."
Several professors at Harvard were talking in low voices, and everyone felt a little frightened.
The media reporters and onlookers outside the cordon have also seen the clues.
Seeing that Xiao Ran and the others did not find the treasure, these guys all sighed.
Of course, there are also those who are gloating among the crowd.
Although he did not find the treasure, Xiao Ran was not at all disappointed.
He gave a few words to the members of the exploration team and then asked everyone to continue exploring.
Next, the joint exploration team thoroughly explored the area, leaving no corner untouched.
In the process, everyone gradually discovered many metal objects buried underground.
However, these metal objects are scattered in various places, more or less, and buried at different depths.
After some analysis by Xiao Ran and Professor Baker, they all ruled out the possibility of being a colonial treasure.
The two teams using deep ground-penetrating radar for detection also operated the ground-penetrating radar and thoroughly scanned the area.
In this area, they discovered two secret underground spaces.
However, the two underground spaces are not large in scope, and they are both located more than 20 meters deep underground.
From the depth and shape analysis of the two spaces, Xiao Ran and the others quickly came to a conclusion.
They are all naturally formed underground spaces, not man-made.
More importantly, these two secret underground spaces are completely enclosed and have no passages connecting them to the ground.
Judging from this, it is naturally impossible to hide any treasures in these two secret underground spaces.
In just over an hour, the joint exploration team had completed exploring the area around the Washington Statue.
Needless to say, the results were disappointing!
After exploring all areas and confirming that there were no valuable discoveries, Xiao Ran called back all the exploration teams.
When everyone arrived, he immediately said:
"Guys, this result is completely expected. There is no need to be disappointed."
"The joint exploration operation has just begun. It is obvious that this colonial treasure is not so easy to find."
"Okay, the exploration here is over. Let's go drink some coffee, warm up and rest for a while."
"Next, it's time for us to explore the Boston Common Cemetery, hoping to find something there."
As he spoke, he pointed to the two coffee machines placed not far away.
Because of the cold weather in Boston, in order to keep everyone away from the cold, he specially asked his employees to prepare a coffee machine.
In addition to coffee machines, other food and drinks, as well as clothing to keep out the cold, are also prepared on site.
After hearing his words, many members of the joint exploration team nodded, and the disappointment on their faces was instantly wiped away.
Afterwards, everyone walked towards the coffee machine in small groups, talking and laughing.
When they picked up the steaming coffee and snacks just delivered from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, they were tasting and laughing while chatting.
The many Harvard students standing not far away who were shivering from the cold suddenly turned red with envy.
Even Professor Samuel and others sniffed with envy.
"Damn it, why didn't we think of getting two coffee machines? It's so cold here!"
"I have to admit, Sean is really thoughtful and kind to his subordinates."
"I heard that the treatment of his employees is not comparable to that of Wall Street investment bank elites. Many people want to join his company."
Several Harvard professors were discussing in low voices.
At this moment, Xiao Ran waved to them and said loudly:
"Professor Samuel, the weather is a bit cold! Come over and have a cup of hot coffee to warm yourself up."
"And your students, you don't need to be strangers. Although we are competitors, we are also friends."
After hearing this, Professor Samuel and the others could not be polite.
Several Harvard professors immediately greeted the students and walked over.
Professor Baker and others at the scene all looked at Xiao Ran.
Invariably, they all gave Xiao Ran a thumbs up.
But how did they know Xiao Ran's real purpose in making friends with these Harvard professors.
It lies in Harvard's collection of many top-notch Chinese antiques and rare ancient books, rather than an unprovoked show of goodwill.
Someday in the future, today's kindness may reap unexpected benefits.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already an hour later.
The joint exploration team has arrived at the Boston Common Cemetery and has already begun exploration.
Also arriving were members of the Harvard University exploration team and the Boston City Government.
Of course, there were also many media reporters and people watching the excitement.
When they arrived here, the Harvard exploration team sat on the sidelines and did not immediately go off to explore.
They may want to see if the joint exploration team can find colonial treasures here.
If the joint exploration team does not discover it, they will end.
When exploring the area near the Washington Statue, it was Harvard University that took the lead, and it was a bit shady.
Perhaps in order to save face, they chose this approach to show their attitude and reduce criticism.
Naturally, Xiao Ran would not refuse this kind of thing.
After arriving at the central cemetery, he simply assigned tasks and asked each exploration team to start their operations.
The central cemetery at this time was slightly different from when I came here two days ago.
On the lawn of the cemetery, there were densely packed footprints everywhere.
Some tombstones that had been erected for more than 200 years were torn down in the past two days.
Not only that, several graves were even dug up.
I just don’t know who did it!
The reason why this happened is related to the fact that Xiao Ran appeared here two days ago and stayed here for a long time.
Because of this, some people with ulterior motives believe that colonial treasures may be hidden in this ancient cemetery.
So when the moon was dark and the wind was high, I came here to rob the tomb.
In the end, they found nothing, and all their hard work was in vain!
It was discovered that the Central Cemetery had been vandalized, and Boston responded immediately.
They sent police to guard here to prevent people from destroying this historical and cultural site.
The rush to dig graves in the central cemetery for treasure came to an abrupt end when the police showed up.
Of course, joint exploration teams with permission from the Boston city government are not prohibited from exploring.
After launching exploration operations, various exploration teams successively scanned many metal objects buried underground.
Without exception, those metal objects are the grave goods of British soldiers and American militiamen buried here.
These grave objects may be crosses, or guns, swords, saddles and other items used by the deceased.
It is possible that it is even a nail on the coffin, but it has nothing to do with the treasure.
Ground-penetrating radar also scanned many underground spaces, one after another.
But those underground spaces were graves for dead soldiers, not secret chambers for hidden treasures.
Xiao Ran would step forward to check all the detected signals, analyze them, and eliminate them one by one.
This result undoubtedly disappointed everyone.
While talking, everyone explored a dozen more tombs, but still found nothing.
At this time, Xiao Ran led a ground-penetrating radar team to the grave of an American militiaman in the center of the cemetery.
The tombstone of this tomb was knocked down just two days ago, and they haven't had time to right it yet!
Even the grave behind the tombstone was dug, but fortunately it was not completely dug up.
Xiao Ran checked the tomb, and then pretended to be helpless and said:
"Obviously, someone wanted to dig up this grave, but fortunately they didn't succeed. They were probably stopped by the police."
"In that case, guys, let's also explore this tomb and see if we can find anything."
"You use ground-penetrating radar to scan this tomb. Scan every place."
"Okay, Sean, leave it to us!"
The three members of the exploration team responded in unison and took action immediately.
In the blink of an eye, they had scanned the front and top of the tomb, but found nothing.
They only scanned some weak metal signals, which were obviously the burial objects of the American militiaman.
While talking, they pushed the ground-penetrating radar to the back of the tomb and continued scanning.
At this moment, these guys suddenly stopped.
The guy staring at the monitor suddenly reached out and rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he just saw.
The next moment, the guy suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Sean, come and take a look. We seem to have found a very secret passage hidden in the tomb."
Before he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads and looked over. Everyone's eyes were full of surprise, but also a little unbelievable.
Xiao Ran reacted quickly and immediately walked towards those guys.
At the same time, a smile quickly flashed in his eyes.
After performing for a long time, I should have gained something!
