In the study room of Crawford Manor, Laura and Jiang Hao were checking the information, there were various books stacked on the table, and the housekeeper Horry and computer expert Bryce were also called to help, forming a four-person treasure hunting team.

Bryce frowned, "Laura, so many people have been trying to find the treasure of the German army for decades, but they have not gained anything at all, I think we are wasting our time." ”

"How do you know if you don't try, it's normal to not find it, it's an unexpected surprise to find it, and the moment when you finally find the treasure through various efforts, solve the mystery and uncover the mystery is the most exciting, this is the fun of treasure hunting." Laura said with a smile.

"And where are we headed?" Horry asked.

At this time, Jiang Hao spoke, "First of all, we must delineate a range, then use methodology to delineate the direction, and finally find out the goal." ”

Everyone looked at Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao said with a smile: "I have a general look, many of the treasure legends of the German army point to the Alps, and I believe that those legends are not made out of nothing." ”

"The Alps? Oh my God, the Alps are so big, it covers 7 countries in northern Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany and Slovenia, 1200 kilometers long and 130~260 kilometers wide, how can we find treasures in such a large area. Bryce said.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's definitely not okay to look aimlessly, but we can determine the direction through analysis." ”

"Analysis?"

"Yes, analysis, if you want to hide treasure in large quantities, you need a suitable location, at that time, the German army was defeated in a hurry, and the amount of materials and treasures in their hands was huge, so the place where the treasure needed to be hidden was hidden and not too small, and it was too late to build or dig directly at that time, so I think it was the most convenient and direct way to occupy the ready-made mine hole, what do you think."

Jiang Hao looked at the others.

Laura nodded, "I think your analysis is good, and it should be like that according to normal logic." ”

Jiang Hao smiled, "Then we will analyze according to this logic, and next, we will find out all the mines in the Alps, this work is very tedious, but very important." ”

"What about after you find the mines?" Horry asked curiously.

Jiang Hao smiled, "After that, the secondary analysis will be carried out, okay, this job will be handed over to the two of you, Horry and Bryce, you must be careful, from ancient times to the present, and try not to miss a place." ”

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he looked at Laura and asked, "Are you interested in rock climbing?" ”

Laura nodded, "Of course, since you took me to climb the rock wall on Yamatai Island that day, I swore that I would definitely practice my climbing skills to the full level in the future, and I would never have to be dragged up by you again." ”

"I believe that you will become the most climbing woman in the world." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Watching Laura and Jiang Hao laugh and leave, Horry and Bryce glanced at each other, Bryce raised his eyebrows, "It's good to be the boss, you can leave the work to the employees." ”

Horry patted Bryce on the shoulder, "Do it well, I'll get you coffee and your favorite cookies." With that, he turned and walked out of the study.

Bryce was stunned, "It turns out that you can dump the pot even if you are not the boss." ”

......

With rock climbing equipment, Jiang Hao and Laura drove for more than two hours to a natural park, where there is a good rock climbing place, which will attract many rock climbing enthusiasts every year.

Laura and Jiang Hao came to the foot of the mountain, this mountain has been carefully measured, the climbing height is 295 meters, it will be less than 300 meters, the difficulty is intermediate, the whole climbing process is about 50 minutes.

Hanging the rope and bringing the utensils, Laura took out her favorite pickaxe, Jiang Hao found that the pickaxe was somewhat familiar, Laura smiled and raised it, "We used it last time in Yamadai, and now it is my treasure." ”

Jiang Hao smiled.

The two started climbing, for the sake of safety, the two still hung up the safety rope and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, Laura looked at the time, 41 minutes, "Woohoo! She stood on the top of the hill and shouted.

This feeling is really pleasant, and he turned his head to Jiang Hao and said: "If you have the opportunity, you must conquer those high mountains, Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Elbrus, and even Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world." ”

"Absolutely." Jiang Hao said.

Descending the mountain, the two rested and returned to the manor, and the day passed in a blink of an eye, and at dinner, Laura saw Bryce and asked, "Bryce, what progress has been made, and a few places have been found." ”

Bryce raised an eyebrow with a smug expression, "It's done." ”

Laura was stunned, "It's all done, all the mines?" ”

"Of course, all of them." Bryce replied as he ate his dinner.

"I know it's going to be a hassle to find clues one by one, how could you do it so quickly." Laura was in disbelief.

"Don't you know that there is a kind of person in this world called hackers, I hacked into the geographic service systems of several countries, and found the most detailed information from them, all of which are official, and all the information you want is there." Bryce Road.

Jiang Hao smiled and gave Bryce a thumbs up.

After dinner, the treasure exploration team came to the study again, the information has been printed, everyone looked at it separately, after reading it for a while, Jiang Hao had already memorized all these materials, and said: "Before our studio exhausted the method, the next is the elimination method, there are a total of 322 mines on these materials, distributed in 7 countries, we now exclude 176 that are still under construction, then there are 146 left." ”

"The next thing we do is to exclude the ones that have already been explored, and there are 98 caves that have been explored, and there is data that can be excluded, so there are only 48 left."

"OK, let's target these 48 mines, calculate their most likely probability of becoming treasure caves, and then prioritize them."

Bryce put down the juice and asked curiously, "How to sort it, what standard?" ”

"Whether the actual controllers of these cave areas were Germans or not, the ease of transporting the treasure there, the concealment of the caves, the condition of the roads, the country to which they belonged, whether there were still cave entrances, etc., were all conditions." Jiang Hao said.

After Jiang Hao finished speaking, everyone understood what Jiang Hao meant.

If the Germans wanted to hide the treasure, those mines must be in their control area, which is best for transportation, and it is unlikely that a large number of materials will be transported into the mountains, and they will definitely be camouflaged and closed afterwards to avoid being discovered, and it is absolutely possible to blow up the hole or close the hole.

Laura laughed, the process of treasure hunting and decryption made her feel excited, and the explorer found a treasure, just like a mountaineer climbs the highest peak and a mathematician solves a mathematical conjecture.

"Then let's get started, and continue to collect more detailed information about these mines." Laura said.

Seven days passed.

In the past seven days, everyone has been busy, including Jiang Hao and Laura, consulting a large number of books and materials, Bryce once again played his strengths and hacked into many websites, of course, many of the information on these websites are public information, so they are not as tightly guarded as the FBI and the National Intelligence Agency, and no one has tracked down.

Finally, Jiang Hao had a final list in his hand.

"Guys, let's select 7 places, the characteristics of these places are very consistent with the range of treasure locations we delineated before, so let's start a field trip to these places."

"Okay, you can go on a trip, where are you going to go for the first stop?" Bryce said happily.

"Let's go to Bavaria."

A few days later, Jiang Hao and his entourage came to Munich, Germany, Jiang Hao and Laura each had a box, Horry pushed four boxes, all of which were Laura's things, and Bryce's boxes were more, which were the equipment he had consigned.

If you want to explore treasure, all kinds of equipment are indispensable, and Bryce even brought a lot of small robots that he researched.

After coming to the city of Munich and staying in the hotel, Jiang Hao instructed: "Horry, there are two things that need to be done, the first is to rent a spacious business car, and the second is to go to the local government to report, just say that we want to carry out treasure exploration activities here." ”

Laura looked at Jiang Hao: "Is it necessary to report?" ”

"I think it's very necessary, private treasure hunting is illegal, and reporting can save a lot of trouble." Jiang Hao said solemnly.

The vast majority of countries in the world are forbidden to explore treasures, and digging up treasures does not belong to you, and China is not the only country in the world that is 500 yuan a pennant, and many countries' attitude towards treasure hunting is directly illegal, and even having a metal detector is illegal, which is equivalent to the level of a gun.

Many people say that China digs up things that belong to the country, but in fact, the world digs up things that really belong to them, and it seems that only the United States is the United States, and other countries have to take it back.

The U.S. rules are that there is no denial of treasure hunting, but it is not allowed to explore treasures in private places, but the problem is that only a very small part of the city government land and square parks in the United States belong to the federal government or local state governments and municipal governments, and the vast majority of land is privately owned.

Relatively speaking, Germany is a bit more lenient, allowing treasure hunting, but it must be reported in advance, and if there is a discovery, it must be reported to the country, of course, as a reward, the finder can get a tenth of the treasure.

"Okay Jon." Horry said yes and left.

Jiang Hao took out a satellite map, the map was marked with 7 points, these 7 points represent the selected 7 possible treasure spots, 2 of which are in Slovenia, the other 5 are in Germany, and all in Bavaria.

Even if they want to hide the treasure after defeat, the first choice of the German army will be in Germany, so that it will be convenient to dig in the future, and it will be very, very inconvenient if you stay abroad, and it can only be used as the most helpless choice.

Jiang Hao looked at the map again, and he decided to start looking from left to right.
