Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 518
Chapter 518
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.
The joint press conference between the joint exploration team and the Boston city government has long been over.
Prince William and his entourage also completed their visit to the Capitol and completed talks with the Boston City Council, but did not leave.
At this time, the mayor of Boston and the council, as well as Prince William and his entourage, came to the lawn on the east side of the Capitol.
Not only them, but Professor Samuel and others at Harvard University, as well as several professors from MIT and Tufts University, also came here.
The crowd of onlookers and media reporters gathered on the east side of the parliament building was much more than before, blocking the streets on this side.
People are gathered here because of the ongoing excavation operations.
More than an hour ago, a team of explorers scanned a large number of metal objects deep underground on this lawn.
These metal objects are buried about six meters underground, and they are very concentrated and take up a lot of space.
After detecting these metal objects buried deep in the ground, Xiao Ran immediately stepped forward to check the detection data and graphics.
Then I analyzed it and thought that these metal objects were more suspicious, maybe they might be treasures.
After determining this, he discussed it with Professor Baker and Jack, and quickly agreed.
Be prepared to dig up these metal objects to see what they really are.
Later, Xiao Ran asked people to find an excavator and began digging on this lawn.
During this time, all the confidential documents stored in the office of the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee were memorized by him and memorized.
Not only that, he did not let go of some top-secret documents stored in the secret room, and all of them were forcibly written down.
As the news spread that the joint exploration team had discovered something here, people immediately flocked to see the excitement coming.
Even Prince William, who was about to leave, stayed behind to see what the joint exploration team could find.
While waiting for the results, everyone was talking about it enthusiastically.
“Sean, as far as I know, these places around the Capitol have been explored more than once with metal detectors
” “Why didn’t you find these metal objects buried deep underground during the previous explorations, and you found them as soon as you came?”
“Is it because of your good luck against the sky, maybe it’s too exaggerated?”
The mayor of Boston asked curiously.
The others at the scene were also very curious and turned their heads to look over.
Xiao Ran shook his head and explained the reason with a smile.
“This has nothing to do with luck, but with the advanced level of exploration equipment
” “If I guessed correctly, the previous explorations should have happened many years ago
” “At that time, the metal detector could detect a depth of two or three meters underground, less than four meters at
most” “The most advanced pulse metal detector can detect a depth of about seven meters underground, and we use this kind of pulse metal detector”
“Things that weren’t detected before can now be easily detected, and that’s why!”
Hearing his explanation, everyone was stunned.
“So that’s the case, no wonder you always find good things that others can’t,”
the mayor of Boston said with a nevering nod.
Professor Samuel and the others, who were also at the scene, looked at the two pulsed metal detectors placed not far away, and their eyes were full of envy.
At this time, he had made up his mind.
After today’s incident, it will take several sets of such pulsed metal detectors.
He was alone in the same idea at the scene.
Even Prince William took a special look at the two pulsed metal detectors.
As he was talking, a surprise voice suddenly came from the excavation site.
“Sean, come and see, we have dug up those metal objects buried deep in the ground”
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran had already stepped out and walked quickly towards the excavation site.
The others immediately followed, and everyone was full of anticipation.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had already arrived in front of the big pit that had just been dug.
At this time, the excavator used for digging had been withdrawn.
Digging at the bottom of the pit were two exploration team members.
Because this place is located on the top of the mountain, the terrain is high, and there is no water and mud at the bottom of the pit, which is relatively easy to excavate.
When the excavator reached about five meters, it was withdrawn and the exploration team relayed the excavation.
After a period of excavation, they finally dug up those metal objects buried deep underground.
These metal objects are not hidden in the secret room, but directly in the dirt, and no one knows what they are.
Two exploration team members digging at the bottom of the pit are standing on the side of these metal objects.
They all have safety ropes tied around their waists, so they don’t have to worry about falling into unknown underground space, and they are safe.
Coming to the edge of the pit, Xiao Ran looked at the pit.
At the bottom of the pit were several thick wooden planks that were mottled.
Because they have been buried deep underground, although old, these boards are quite well preserved, but with a little charring.
Beneath these planks are the metal objects that have been detected earlier.
As for what those metal objects are, it is unknown for the time being.
Seeing Xiao Ran appear, an exploration team member standing at the bottom of the pit immediately introduced
: “Sean, those metal objects are under the boards, these boards are very strong, people can stand on it is no problem
” “We just scanned it with a metal detector, and found no traces of the existence of traps
” “In that case, can we open these boards”
Xiao Ran shook his head and then said:”
For the sake of safety, don’t open these boards yet, I’ll go down and see the situation before saying
” “One more point, you all wear gas masks, just in case”
Hearing this, the two exploration team members at the bottom of the pit both nodded.
Afterwards, they all took off their masks and put on gas masks.
Xiao Ran was the same, put on a gas mask, tied a safety rope, and then went down the telescopic ladder to the bottom of the pit.
In a matter of moments, he had descended to the bottom of the pit.
He first checked the situation at the bottom of the pit to make sure that there was no complete problem, and then crouched down and seriously began to examine the planks at the bottom of the pit.
The exploration team members standing on the side are introducing the situation here.
After observing for a moment, Xiao Ran suddenly nodded and said:
“That’s right, there are no traps here, you can safely open these
boards” “You clean up the floating soil at both ends of the planks, and then pry these boards to see what is hidden underneath
” “Okay, Sean, leave it to us”
The two subordinates answered in unison, both of them couldn’t wait.
Subsequently, Xiao Ran returned to the ground along the ladder.
The two exploration team members who remained at the bottom of the pit immediately took action.
After a while, they had cleared the floating soil at the bottom of the pit.
Then take two crowbars and start moving at the same time.
Along the gap in the plank, they forcibly inserted the thin ends of the two crowbars, and then pressed down hard.
“Click!”
With a crisp sound, a wooden plank in the middle of the bottom of the pit has been pried up.
When the board was pried up, a piece of dirty air immediately rushed out from under the plank and rushed straight to the ground.
There were no people around the pit on the ground.
Under Xiao Ran’s reminder, everyone had already retreated a few meters to the side.
Xiao Ran and several exploration team members who remained at the mouth of the pit were all wearing gas masks and were not in any danger.
The dirty air that rushed to the ground was blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye, and there was no threat.
Immediately afterwards, the excited voice of an exploration team member also came up.
“Sean, there seem to be some guns under these wooden boards, all wrapped in tarpaulin, the outline is very clear
” “In addition to the artillery, there seem to be some boxes below, I don’t know what it is”
The words did not fall, Xiao Ran had come to the edge of the pit again, and the probe looked at the bottom of the pit.
At this point, the plank in the center of the pit floor has been pried up, revealing what is hidden under the plank.
As the explorator said, under those planks were indeed several guns wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, with clear contours.
Looking down from the crater, only the silhouette of two guns could be seen due to the angle.
As for the other guns and boxes, they are not visible for the time being.
Xiao Ran took a look at the situation at the bottom of the pit, then nodded and said:
“Guys, continue to work, pry open the rest of the boards, and see what else can be found
” “Understood, Sean”
The two guys at the bottom of the pit answered in unison, and then took action again.
At this moment, the mayor of Boston and Prince William, as well as Professor Baker, all walked over.
As soon as he arrived, Professor Baker immediately asked impatiently:
“Sean, what is buried here?” Is it a treasure? ”
What’s with the artillery at the bottom of the pit?” It won’t be the same as yesterday’s Plantagenet family treasure, right?
Xiao Ran shook his head, and then said with a smile:
“Under those wooden planks at the bottom of the pit, there are several guns wrapped in tarpaulin
” “From the outline, it looks like the artillery used by the British army in the eighteenth century, that is, the breech gun that fires solid bullets
” “In addition to the artillery, there seem to be some boxes containing something, it is not clear for the time being
” “I speculate that this may not be a treasure, It’s just some artillery and ammunition that have been hastily hidden
” “I say this because these guns have only a thick layer of wood on them, and the protection measures are simple”
At this, he suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Prince William.
The scene was full of human spirits, and they instantly understood the meaning of his words.
If this is not a treasure, these eighteenth-century breech guns were most likely buried during the War of Independence and when the British army was defeated and evacuated.
Because these guns were relatively heavy, it was troublesome to transport, and it was difficult for the British troops who fled in a hurry to transport them away for a while.
They did not want these artillery pieces to fall into the hands of the Continental Army, and they were reluctant to blow them up directly, and they thought of digging them up and using them after recapturing Boston.
For these reasons, they buried these artillery pieces in the barracks, and as a result, they buried them for more than two hundred years!
Prince William also thought of this possibility, his face changed with a smile, and his expression was somewhat embarrassed.
Here, he seems to be the representative of the losing side!
The truth is just as Xiao Ran expected!
Buried at the bottom of the pit were not any treasures, only some British artillery, some matching solid bullets, and some gunpowder that had long been invalidated.
More than two hundred years have passed, and these ancient breech guns are actually antique cultural relics.
Especially for the Americans, for the city of Boston, these antique artillery guns have a very special meaning.
Simply put, they are the best evidence of the American Revolutionary War and one of the symbols of the city of Boston!
Of course, for the British, it is an unbearable past, a symbol of failure!
It was determined that there were only some guns at the bottom of the pit, and everyone was somewhat disappointed.
At this moment, the speaker of the Boston Council suddenly said:
“Sean, these eighteenth-century artillery have a very special meaning, can you keep them here?”
“We intend to display these antique cannons on the grass in front of the Capitol to commemorate the great victory of the Revolutionary War
” “In this way, I believe that these antique artillery can become a very good scenery”
Hearing this, the eyes of the mayor of Boston and many councilors lit up, and then they all nodded in agreement.
Prince William’s group looked a little ugly, but they didn’t say much.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Ran immediately nodded.
“No problem, I’m willing to give these antique guns to the Massachusetts State Legislature, hoping to add a landscape to this historic building and Boston!”
What he said was indeed from the heart.
I got so much priceless top-secret intelligence from here, and what is it to send out a few antique cannons!
While speaking, an antique cannon has been hoisted up and appeared in front of everyone!
