In the church.
Peng Jiajie started to introduce the relevant situation to everyone, and he was very excited.
Following his introduction, waves of exclamations immediately erupted from the scene, one after another.
While marveling, everyone also looked at Xiao Ran with admiration, and everyone became more and more excited.
On a bench next to him, Haipeng opened his laptop and got busy.
In the blink of an eye, he had determined the exact spot in the chapel where the shadow of St. George's flag fell.
"Xiao Ran, if Faneuil Hall, which was rebuilt in 1761, is still there, then at 9:16 every March 20th, the St. George flag in the east window of the clock tower will cast its shadow here under the sunlight. "
As he spoke, he pointed to a spot in the middle of the church.
There was a bench there, just off the center aisle.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked over there.
Xiao Ran stepped out directly and walked towards that location.
Professor Baker and the others hurriedly followed, and everyone was full of expectations.
The priest froze on the spot, unable to react for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief.
Coming closer, Xiao Ran first checked the situation on the ground, and then said:
"Guys, move all these benches around and be more careful."
"Then let's explore here and see what we find."
After the words fell, several exploration team members immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, leave it to us!"
As he said this, these guys stepped forward and moved some of the benches placed here.
At the same time, the rest of the people gathered over and looked at the ground curiously.
After vacating the space, Xiao Ran, Professor Baker and others immediately stepped forward to check the situation on the ground.
Unfortunately, they found nothing.
This small church has been standing here for more than two hundred years, and countless people have come and gone and sat here to pray.
Those people didn't notice anything unusual, and naturally they couldn't see anything special at a glance.
After quickly checking the ground, Xiao Ran shook his head slightly.
"Only from the ground, there is nothing unusual here, just like other places in the church."
"But this alone is not enough to overturn my guess. Bring a pulse metal detector over and scan the ground."
After the words fell, an exploration team standing nearby immediately opened the box, took out a pulse metal detector from inside, and began to assemble and debug it.
In a matter of moments, the pulse metal detector was debugged.
Immediately afterwards, the exploration team came forward with pulse metal detectors and began to scan the ground.
The results were disappointing, with no response from the pulse metal detector.
Obviously, there are no metal objects below this ground.
Or rather, there are no buried metal objects within the scanning depth of the pulse metal detector.
Seeing this unexpected result, everyone was stunned.
The scene immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran fell into deep thought and did not give any response, nor did he show the slightest expression of frustration.
"Sean, is your guess wrong? Or you didn't find the exact location?"
Jack asked in surprise.
Not only him, many people at the scene had the same idea.
Xiao Ran shook his head, then smiled and said:
"I am very confident in my speculation, and it should not be wrong."
"Perhaps the detection depth of the pulse metal detector is not enough, so nothing was found."
"In this case, let's switch to deep ground-penetrating radar for detection. Maybe we will find something."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Of course, many people still have doubts, but they just don't say it out loud.
While talking, a deep ground-penetrating radar had been assembled and pushed over by two exploration team members to begin the second round of detection.
The situation this time was different from before, and something was quickly discovered.
"Sean, come and take a look. There seems to be a secret underground space here, and it's quite large."
The guy staring at the ground-penetrating radar monitor screen said excitedly.
Following his words, the scene immediately exploded.
"What? There is a secret underground space under the church? How is this possible?"
The priest exclaimed in surprise and froze on the spot.
Also unable to believe this were John, Jack and others.
Compared with them, everyone in the joint exploration team was very excited and cheered directly.
"Awesome! There is indeed a secret hidden here, it's incredible!"
"Is there a colonial treasure hidden in the secret space deep underground?"
Just as everyone was cheering, Xiao Ran stepped forward and began to check the detected signals and data.
Professor Baker, Professor Adrian and others also joined in, all of them impatient.
At the same time, the ground-penetrating radar is still working and continues to explore the situation deep underground.
Xiao Ran pretended to carefully check and analyze the detected data, pondered for a moment, and suddenly turned to the other exploration team members and said:
"Guys, move all the benches around and expand the detection range."
"This secret space located deep underground looks quite large and irregular in shape."
"Got it, Sean"
Many joint exploration team members responded in unison and immediately took action.
At this time, John, the pastor and others also woke up.
Immediately afterwards, John said hurriedly:
"Sean, please tell me about the situation. What's going on?"
"Our family has owned this land and this church for more than 200 years, but we have never discovered that there is a secret underground space here. It is simply incredible!"
Xiao Ran turned to look at him, then smiled and explained:
"John, it seems that my guess is very accurate. The mysterious numbers originally engraved on the wall of the Faneuil Hall conference hall are indeed a set of passwords!"
"Through the analysis of the signals and data detected by this deep ground-penetrating radar, there is a hole leading deep underground about six meters below our feet."
"But the entrance to the cave has long been sealed, apparently by the British colonists. From the entrance of the cave, it extends about four meters downward, and the space gradually begins to expand."
"Judging from the structure and shape of this underground space, it is most likely a naturally formed underground space, or it may be more appropriate to say it is an underground crack."
"The depth of this underground crack is considerable. The depth currently detected is more than 40 meters, and the space becomes larger as you go down, extending to the north and south,..."
"Wow! This is amazing!"
The scene immediately erupted into exclamations again, and everyone was startled.
Especially John, the pastor and others, their eyes were so wide that they almost flew out.
"It's incredible! There is actually an underground crack here. Why has it not been discovered for more than two hundred years?"
Jack exclaimed, shaking his head in disbelief.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran gave an explanation with a smile.
"This is the center of Boston, surrounded by high-rise buildings. It is really unbelievable that such a crack should appear deep underground, and it also poses certain safety risks."
"But combined with the situation here, it can also be explained that this crack is located just under the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is an American historical and cultural site and is strictly protected."
"Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for people to discover this underground crack. In addition, the length of this crack is limited, which makes it even more difficult to discover, so it has been hidden until today."
After hearing his explanation, everyone nodded, and there were no more doubts.
Next, the exploration continues.
Xiao Ran continued to introduce the situation of this underground crack while analyzing the detected signals and data.
The deepest depth of this underground fissure detected so far reaches 48 meters, which is quite astonishing.
The specific length is not yet clear. It should not be very long, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago.
It is not far from the mouth of the Charles River and the Atlantic Ocean. If this crack in the ground was very long, it might have been filled with river water or sea water.
A hollow area, or underground cave, was formed in this underground crack about 20 to 25 meters deep.
In other parts of this underground fissure, there are many caves, large or small, like an underground hornet's nest.
Since the scope of exploration is limited to this area within the church, the conditions in other parts of this underground fissure are still unknown.
Following Xiao Ran's introduction, everyone exclaimed.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.
Invariably, everyone is speculating.
The unknown colonial treasure is probably hidden in this underground fissure.
It is precisely because this treasure is hidden deep underground that it has not been discovered for more than two hundred years.
After Xiao Ran finished his introduction, Jack immediately asked impatiently:
"Sean, are the colonial treasures you came to Boston looking for this time hidden in this underground fissure?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then smiled and nodded.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it is very likely."
"For a long time before the Revolutionary War, this was a logistics camp for the British army."
"Since the British have already discovered this underground fissure, they might use it to hide treasures."
"Considering that after the British army was defeated, they needed to evacuate Boston as soon as possible, and there was no time to make other choices."
"For them, this crack located deep underground is undoubtedly the best choice for hiding treasures. It is far safer than digging a hole to bury the treasure."
Before he finished speaking, Professor Baker nodded in agreement:
"Yes, since the British colonial army knew about this crack deep underground, is there any better place to hide the treasure than this?"
"No matter what angle you think about it, there is no reason for them to abandon this underground fissure and choose other places to hide colonial treasures."
Following their conversation, everyone on the scene nodded, obviously in deep agreement.
At this moment, the pastor suddenly said:
"Mr. Sean, Professor Baker, what are you going to do next? How to uncover the colonial treasures that may be hidden in this underground crack?"
"I don't know what's in this colonial treasure, but I want to know what our church will get if you dig up this treasure."
"ah!"
Surprised exclamations arose from the scene, and everyone turned to look at the priest.
Even John's eyes were full of surprise and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Ran also looked at the priest in surprise.
The moment he turned his head, he saw jealousy and greed in the other person's eyes, which he couldn't hide at all!
have to!
This so-called cleric has become greedy!
