Chapter 832 Exhaustion and Exclusion

In the study room of the Crawford Manor, Laura and Jiang Hao were looking for information. Various books were piled up on the table. The butler Horry and the 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 there is no gain at all. I think we are wasting time."

"How do you know if you don't try? It's normal not to find it. It's a surprise to find it. After all kinds of hard work, the treasure is finally found. The moment when the mystery is solved and the mystery is revealed is the most exciting moment. This is the essence of treasure hunting." Fun," Laura said with a laugh.

"So what's our direction?" Horry asked.

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

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

"The Alps? God, the Alps are too big. It covers seven countries including northern Italy, southeastern France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, southern Germany, and Slovenia. It is 1,200 kilometers long and 130 to 260 kilometers wide. Find the treasure in such a large range," Bryce said.

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

"analyze?"

"Yes, analysis, if you want to hide treasures in large quantities, you need a suitable place. At that time, the German army was defeated and the situation was panic, and they had a huge amount of supplies and treasures in their hands, so the place to hide the treasures should not be too small. At that time, it was too late to directly build or excavate, so I think it is the most convenient and direct way to occupy the existing mine, what do you think?"

Jiang Hao looked at the others.

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

Jiang Hao smiled, "Then we will continue to analyze according to this logic. Next, we will find all the mines in the Alps. This work is very cumbersome, but it is very important."

"What happens after you find those mines?" Horry asked curiously.

Jiang Hao smiled, "Afterwards, we will conduct a second analysis. Well, this work will be handed over to you two, Horry and Bryce. You must be careful, from ancient times to the present, and try not to miss one point. .”

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

Laura nodded, "Of course, ever since you took me to climb the rock wall of Yamatai Island that day, I swore that I must train my rock climbing skills to the full level in the future, and you don't need to drag me up."

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

Watching Laura and Jiang Hao leave with a smile, Horry and Bryce looked 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." He turned and left the study.

Bryce was taken aback, "It turns out that you can throw the blame even if you're not the boss."

Bringing rock climbing equipment, Jiang Hao and Laura drove for more than two hours to a natural park. There is a good rock climbing place here, which attracts many rock climbing enthusiasts every year. When Jiang Hao and Laura came here, they saw More than a dozen cars have been parked here, and some people even set up tents next to it.

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

Hanging up the rope and bringing the equipment, Laura took out her favorite climbing pick. Jiang Hao found that the climbing pick was somewhat familiar. Laura raised it with a smile, "We used it last time in Yamatai, and now it's It's my treasure."

Jiang Hao smiled.

The two started rock climbing. To be on the safe side, they still hung up the safety rope and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain. Laura checked the time, and at 41 minutes, "Woohoo!" She stood on the top of the mountain and yelled.

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

"Of course." Jiang Hao said.

After going down the mountain, the two took a break and returned to the manor. A day passed in a blink of an eye. During dinner, Laura saw Bryce and asked, "Bryce, what's the progress? I found a few places."

Bryce raised his eyebrows with a smug expression, "It's over."

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

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

"I know it will be troublesome to find clues one by one. How could you finish it so quickly." Laura couldn't believe it.

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

Jiang Hao smiled and gave Blaise a thumbs up.

After dinner, the treasure hunting team came to the study room again. The materials had been printed out, and everyone looked at them separately. After reading for a while, Jiang Hao had memorized all the materials and said: "Our studio used exhaustive methods before, The next step is the method of exclusion. There are a total of 322 mines distributed in 7 countries in these materials. Now we exclude 176 mines that are still in operation, leaving 146 mines.”

"Next, we exclude the mines that have been explored. There are 98 mines that have been explored here. If there are relevant data, they can be excluded, so there are only 48 left."

"OK, let's take these 48 mines as targets, calculate the possibility that they are most likely to become treasure caves, and then rank them in order."

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

"Whether the actual controllers of these mine areas were Germans, the convenience of transporting the treasures there, the concealment of the caves, the road conditions, which country they belong to, whether there are still cave entrances, etc., are all conditions." Jiang Jiang Haodao.

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

If the Germans want to hide treasures, those mines must be within their control area, which is the best for convenient transportation. It is unlikely that a large amount of materials will be transported into the deep mountains. It is absolutely possible to blow up the hole or close the hole.

Laura laughed. The process of treasure hunting and deciphering makes her feel excited. An explorer finds a treasure, just like a mountaineer climbs the highest peak and a mathematician solves a mathematical conjecture, which makes people happy.

"Then let's start and continue to collect more detailed information on these mines." Laura said.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Everyone has been busy these seven days, including Jiang Hao and Laura, who have consulted a large number of books and materials. Bryce has once again used his expertise to invade many websites. Of course, many of the information on these websites are public information, so unlike the FBI, the country The Intelligence Bureau is so well protected, and no one will track it down.

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

"Guys, we have selected 7 places. The characteristics of these places are in line with the scope of the treasure locations we delineated before. Then, we will start to conduct field investigations on these places."

"Okay, it's time to travel. Where are you going for the first stop?" Bryce said happily.

"We're going to Bavaria."

A few days later, Jiang Hao and his team arrived in Munich, Germany. Jiang Hao and Laura each had a box. Horry pushed four boxes, all of which were Laura’s things. Bryce had more boxes, which he checked in. device of.

Naturally, all kinds of equipment are indispensable for treasure hunting, and Bryce even brought many small robots he researched.

After arriving at the hotel in downtown Munich, Jiang Hao ordered: "Huo Li, there are two things that need to be done. The first is to rent a spacious commercial vehicle, and the second is to report to the local government. Treasure hunting is here."

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

"I think it is 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 prohibit treasure hunting, and the treasure you dig does not belong to you. China is not the only country in the world that pays 500 yuan for a pennant. The attitude of many countries towards treasure hunting is directly illegal, and even owning Metal detectors are illegal, on the same level as guns.

Many people say that what China dug up belongs to the country. In fact, what the world digs up really belongs to itself. It seems that only the United States and other countries have to take it back.

The regulations in the United States do not deny treasure hunting, but they prohibit treasure hunting in private places. The problem is that only a very small number of urban government lands and square parks in the United States belong to the federal government or local state governments and city governments. Most of the land is privately owned, and even if you find treasure, it belongs to the landowner, not you.

Relatively speaking, Germany is a little more relaxed, allowing treasure hunting, but it must be reported in advance, and if found, it must be reported to the country. Of course, as a reward, the discoverer can get one-tenth of the treasure.

"Alright Jon." Horry agreed and left.

Jiang Hao took out a satellite map with 7 dots marked on it. These 7 dots represent the 7 possible hidden treasure spots selected, of which 2 are in Slovenia, and the other 5 are all in Germany and Bavaria. State.

Even if they are defeated and want to hide treasures, the first choice of the German army will be in Germany, so that it will be convenient to dig in the future. If they stay abroad, it will be very, very inconvenient, 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.
