Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 104 Finding Clues
"Then let's look for the abbreviated AMT among the teachers and students of King's College in the 30s and 40s." When the two pieces of evidence pointed to King's College, Liang En put forward his own opinion.

It is very difficult to put this kind of work in the past, and it is likely to need to contact the school and check the dusty files.

But now that these schools have gradually digitized their archives, facing such public information, they can quickly find what they need by connecting their computers or mobile phones to the Internet at home.

After one year was assigned to one person, the six people, including the servants, picked up their mobile phones or computers to check the list of teachers and students of King's College.

"I found it—" Seven or eight minutes later, Mrs. Lewis suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and then turned the computer screen to these people present. "Alan Mathison Turing!"

Mr. Lewis' eyes widened all of a sudden. As a rich man who made his fortune in the computer network industry, he naturally knew what the name represented.

Alan Matheson Turing, a famous British mathematician and logician, is known as the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. He is the founder of computer logic. He proposed "Turing machine" and "Turing test". " and other important concepts.

Later generations set up the "Turing Award" to commemorate his outstanding contribution in the computer field, and it has become the highest award in the computer field today.

"In other words, Turing hid a lot of money because he was not optimistic about Britain's victory in the war." Fan Meng showed a puzzled look at this time. "But I remember that he seems to have participated in some operation of the British military at that time—"

"Yes, he participated in an operation led by the British military to decipher the Enigma used by the Germans during World War II." Liang En nodded and said. "This action allowed the British to figure out what German submarines were doing in the Atlantic and saved Britain."

"But in the end the British government failed him because he was severely persecuted for his sexual orientation, and even had to accept the so-called treatment of estrogen injections. In the end, he committed suicide."

"This is really a tragedy." Mr. Lewis said with a sigh, while the others nodded in agreement.After all, from the point of view of modern people, the series of practices at that time did have big problems.

"But if the owner of this book was really Turing, then the act of hiding money should be real." After sighing, Mr. Lewis said.

"If you know Turing better, you will know that Turing had no confidence in Britain's victory in the war, so he exchanged all his property for two silver bars and hid it."

"As a result, during World War II, he was isolated for a long time because he joined the military to break codes, so after the war, he found that he had forgotten where the two pieces of silver were hidden."

"In other words, Turing was also worried that he would forget this treasure, so he secretly wrote it in this book. In the end, he even forgot the existence of this book." After hearing Lewis' words, Liang En immediately More things were analyzed.

But now there is a key question that has not been solved, that is, if these are really the two silver bars hidden by Turing, where is the garden bench pointed out in the note?
The clue is directly broken here, but this does not mean that Liang En has no way.Soon, he thought of using his own cards to solve the current problem.

So when everyone gathered around this piece of paper or checked the surrounding map from the Internet, Liang En used a [Appraisal (N)] card on the fairy tale book.

After the card was used, lines of tiny text appeared in front of Liang En out of thin air, revealing the story behind Turing's message on the fairy tale book.

[Turing is an expert in computers, but also a cheerful person who loves sports.But his heart is very delicate, and occasionally appears a little pessimistic. 】

[And this record was recorded by the other party on June 1940, 6. A week after the Dunkirk retreat, Turing, who was not optimistic about the war situation, exchanged all his wealth for two silver bars. 】

[At that time, he took this book and two silver bars in his bag into a garden near Cambridge, and then hid the two large pieces of silver in a certain park in Cambridge under the cover of reading a book. 】

[Unfortunately, this fairy tale book was sold among a batch of unwanted old books when he was drafted out of Cambridge by the British army.At the same time, I also forgot where the silver was buried. 】

"It still looks a little blurry—" After reading these words, Liang En confirmed that these things were indeed reminders left by Turing after he hid the silver, but he still didn't know where the silver was hidden.

After realizing that the information obtained now was not enough to find the two silver bars, Liang En thought for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and used the [Appraisal (R)] card that he had been saving in his hand before.

The reason why he chose this card is also very simple, because the [Appraisal (N)] card just now confirmed the time when Turing recorded this text, and treasure hunters often find it shortly after the treasure is hidden. record these things.

[Appraisal (R)] After the card was used, a new picture appeared in Liang En's mind. Soon, he realized that the observer of this picture was fixed on this "Alice in Wonderland".

"This is interesting." Ten seconds later, Liang En learned how to use this new card: he could use the selected item as his observation point, and observe the surroundings 360 degrees horizontally with his naked eyes.

因为不知道图灵写下这些文字的具体时间，所以梁恩就把时间锚定点定位到了1940年6月11日晚上12点，然后观测这个时间点之前72个小时发生的事情。

After this card is activated, it feels a bit like using a VR device, and it also has a series of functions such as fast forward, rewind, and pause.

However, after only a few hours, Liang En saw the image of Turing digging a hole with a small shovel in an artificial bush and burying a tin wooden box with the book he pinned on from his perspective.

And after using this image to fast-forward more than two hours, Liang En took Turing out of the cabinet to take out the silver bars, put them in a book and went out, until he buried the two silver bars and went home.

Unlike what Liang En thought before, Turing didn't hide these things at night as he imagined.Instead, I chose the time between 11:1 and [-]:[-] noon.

After thinking for a while, Liang En quickly figured out why Turing did this. It was because it was a wartime situation, and places like Cambridge had curfews, and it was impossible to go out at night.

That's why Turing chose to go out at noon to bury his silver. After all, the sun is very strong at this time, and most people are having lunch, so there won't be too many people outdoors.

Obviously, there is also some difference caused by the butterfly effect here.For example, in Liang En's last world, Turing hid silver in a wasteland, but after the war, he discovered that the wasteland had turned into a large construction site.

But apart from the differences, the two worlds also have a lot in common.For example, both the Turing of this world and the Turing of the previous world exchanged money for silver, and lost the silver as well.
