Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 10 made a fortune

Sleeping in the open air seems to have become a standard equipment for gold diggers. Chen Ruobai, who was hiding in the crevices of the rocks, got out of his sleeping bag.It felt terrible, even with the moisture-proof mats on, the stones on the ground were still very unpleasant.

It is undoubtedly a very bad feeling to wake up not refreshed, but with a terrible backache and backache.

What was even worse was that it was drizzling again. This horrible weather made Chen Ruobai speechless, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of his work.

After a simple breakfast, Chen Ruobai continued to set off, going upstream along the river, continuing to search for traces of gold.

Seemingly continuing to search aimlessly, Chen Ruobai seemed to be just going upstream along the river.

But this is just a performance, Chen Ruobai is constantly observing the river, carefully looking for any clues.He is also constantly analyzing, hoping to find some clues and find the gold that can make him rich.

Climbing up a small hill, panting heavily, Chen Ruobai observed the direction of the river, "This area is interesting, obviously it's in a canyon. It is said that the river here is relatively fast, and there must be a bend in the downstream. But I didn't see the mine. Field, is there a problem?"

Chen Ruobai, who was thinking carefully, didn't understand, very much, "It is said that there is gold here, at least there should be downstream. But I didn't see it all the way, it can't be that my superpower has lost its effect."

It's definitely not something wrong with him, so there is something unusual about this weird river.

Chen Ruobai needs to observe carefully, since there is nothing wrong with him, then there must be something different around here.As long as you find out some abnormalities, maybe you can get something.

Chen Ruobai, who continued to observe, suddenly realized something, and his heart couldn't help beating violently, "Yes, I was just walking along the river! But with the passage of time, there are too many diversions of the river! The current river course was only recently formed. Maybe the previous river course wasn’t here!”

Chen Ruobai looked at the bottom of the river from the top of the mountain, the dry river course was exposed, there might be water flowing there during the wet season.If it is a little longer, maybe the current bank is also a river channel, and even farther away may be an ancient river channel.

The river beach in front is a bit weird, such a large area is worthy of Chen Ruobai's study.

Thinking of this, Chen Ruobai started to act, and went down the mountain with Da Zhuang, to observe carefully.

"If gold is found here, it will be more difficult to pan for gold, and it will be more difficult to attract water." Holding a small hoe and raking the ground, Chen Ruobai said to himself, "But it's a trivial matter, as long as you can find gold, you will be tired No problem."

Continuing to rake the ground vigorously, Chen Ruobai just wanted to expose the gold to the surface.Even though it may be difficult for others to see the gold, but for Chen Ruobai, as long as there is gold, they cannot escape his eyes.

For more than two hours, Chen Ruobai has been raking the ground hard, but hardly found anything.

Either there's really no gold here, or the gold is buried much deeper.It is also possible that Chen Ruobai found the wrong place.

"This must be a bend in the river!" Chen Ruobai, who was sitting on the ground, thought carefully, but was very surprised, "The stones at the bottom of the river are all gravel, it's obvious, but why can't we dig out gold. Could it be that I really Digging in the wrong place?"

Chen Ruobai, who continued to think, suddenly slapped his head, maybe he really dug in the wrong place.It is very likely that he dug the outer side of the bend, the side where the current is faster.That's not okay, he needs to dig the inner side of the river bend, where the gold should stop.

Excited, Chen Ruobai quickly got up and continued to observe, "The difference is about ten meters, but the difference is huge!"

Continuing to work hard to dig for gold, Chen Ruobai, who kept digging the soil, had some experience.Soil and the like are definitely not acceptable. What he needs to see are the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river, only those things can contain gold sand.

Too big stones will definitely not work. The place where the big stones gather means that the water flow is fast and the gold cannot be retained at all.

Suddenly Chen Ruobai discovered the 'dazzling golden light', and a piece of gold the size of a soybean grain was turned out.It was buried more than ten centimeters below the soil, but this time it was dug out by Chen Ruobai. This is also the largest grain of gold sand that Chen Ruobai has found since the gold panning!
Excited, Chen Ruobai quickly picked up the gold and carefully wiped the sand on it, "That's right, this is a river. Although the current is relatively fast, it is enough for the gold to stay. The big gold is here!"

Although this is what he said, Chen Ruobai did not take it lightly, a piece of gold can't represent anything, he still needs to continue to verify.

Since it is for verification, it needs to expand the area, Chen Ruobai can't just dig in this place.

The place where the gold was dug out continued to expand outwards. Although he was just digging the ground with his waist bent, Chen Ruobai didn't feel tired. What he had was unprecedented excitement. Many of them are too small to be worth picking up by Chen Ruobai.

"It's good here, there's a lot of gold here!" The excited Chen Ruobai picked up a sesame seed-sized gold again, and said excitedly, "I'm well-off now, I must have found gold, I've found treasure!"

This is what Chen Ruobai said in his heart, the small mine that he found before now looks like nothing worth mentioning.When Chen Ruobai kept digging the ground, the grain size of gold he picked up was close to ten grams.

Looking at the area about half an mu in front of him, Chen Ruobai felt that this place should be a place relatively rich in gold.

But this is not enough. The gold dug up now is basically buried at a depth of about ten centimeters underground.But Chen Ruobai did not see the bedrock, which meant that if he continued to dig down, he would definitely be able to find more ore.

With such a calculation, I am a little excited just thinking about it, maybe I can find hundreds of ounces of gold here in one go.It is also possible to pan out millions of dollars of gold here.

Thinking of these, Chen Ruobai trembled with excitement, this is the essence of gold panning, getting rich overnight is not a dream!

Now there is no reason to be calm, Chen Ruobai just wants to quickly dig out this treasure.Open mines early, pan for gold early, and only when you are safe can you really get down to business.

After carefully marking the location and observing the surrounding environment, Chen Ruobai didn't care that the sky was getting dark and wanted to set off immediately.

Anyway, with a flashlight and a gun, naturally there is nothing to worry about.As far as the distance is concerned, if you go all out, you can arrive in about half a day, and there should be no big problem. If you are too tired, consider taking a rest.

At the mine, Devi looked at the gold in the small bottle and said, "Our work is all done. Tomorrow we will eliminate all the traces here, and then go find Robert."

Lesnar has no objection either, the mine washing pit and so on must be restored, including the river blocked by Chen Ruobai before it must be allowed to flow back again.Only by erasing as much human-made traces as possible can it be safer, and everyone does not want to cause trouble.

"I don't know if he found the gold." Lesnar looked at the fire, feeling a little melancholy, "Although I'm tired, I want to make more money. As long as we can mine gold for a few more days, we can make a lot of money. "

It is worthwhile to earn four or five hundred dollars a day.It's a pity that the current workload is too little, and there is no way to further increase the income. I have to say that this is a regrettable thing.

Lesnar and Devi were sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard some voices.

No, compared to those sounds, they were more attracted by the swaying beam of light.

"Be careful." Devi grabbed the rifle and took out the flashlight. "Although it may be Robert, we need to be careful."

Lesnar nodded, and couldn't help but worry, "Why did he come back overnight? Is he in danger?"

Holding flashlights and guns, the two walked cautiously towards the place where the light was on.

Chen Ruobai also noticed the two beams of lights, probably because of his excitement, he persisted, and he walked for most of the night.

"It's me!" Chen Ruobai shouted loudly, "Brothers, I discovered a gold mine, and we're rich!"
