Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 103

Not surprisingly, both John Lawrence and Paul Drake accepted Chen Ruobai's job invitation, not necessarily because of Chen Ruobai's charisma, but mainly because of the very good salary Chen Ruobai offered.

These are the most important things, but Chen Ruobai doesn't care about those things, he is just making money.And his team members started working together, naturally in order to earn more money and live a better life.

Everything was ready, Chen Ruobai's team began to assemble, and it could be considered a strong army.

Drake helped Dick wrap the pickup truck's snow tires with a layer of steel chains, which was also for anti-slip, and he couldn't be too careful now.

"Try the walkie-talkie and tune to channel three." Chen Ruobai, who was sitting in the driver's cab, took off his sunglasses and said with a smile, "Pay attention to receiving the signal. Once we open up the road, you must follow up immediately."

It is obviously not possible to swarm into the mountain. Everyone enters the mine in batches. These are the most correct arrangements.

Montgomery patted the hood of the car, and said to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, I'd better go into the mountains, it's more suitable for you to be behind."

"It's enough for Javier to be here, he knows the arrangements." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "I, the real man, Ryan are responsible for opening the way, let you know what is really strong, let you understand the core of the team the power of."

In fact, everyone is also performing their own duties. Everyone can't be idle at this time. If you want to enter the mine, you need to make comprehensive preparations and arrange all aspects of things.

The snow on the mountain has not yet melted, and the road is very muddy, which naturally means that the road is rough and difficult.

This is also the reason why Chen Ruobai and the others are more at ease in the mine. It is not easy to enter the mine now, let alone in the freezing weather, it is basically difficult, and every step is actually very difficult.

Chen Ruobai, Dick, and Lesnar formed the advance team. Their car was a pickup truck carrying a small amount of cargo, and a bulldozer that opened the way ahead. They were responsible for clearing the road and allowing the follow-up convoy to follow up smoothly.

Dewei is in charge of sitting in the rear and transports the three excavators in time, as well as a large amount of diesel and living supplies.The washing machine can even wait, because there is no way to start working immediately in a short time.

When everything was ready, Chen Ruobai smiled and waved to everyone, and Lesnar in front also started the bulldozer to open the way.

There was no problem when I just left the small town, but when I slowly entered the remote valley road, the road became muddy.There is no problem for the time being, but there should be no carelessness at this time.

Don't say [-] kilometers per hour or [-] kilometers per hour, if you can reach [-] kilometers, Chen Ruobai will be thankful.

Dick was sitting in the co-pilot and said worriedly, "This road is difficult to walk. If our convoy travels several times, I'm worried about accidents."

Dick's concern was normal, because these roads were dirt roads, which would be fine if the weather was sunny.Once it rains, it is naturally very muddy.Now that there is still snow, it will be even more muddy, and the car may be trapped.

Subsequent flatbed trailers will also transport excavators, which also means that the road will be rolled and muddy.

Chen Ruobai could only say, "So we have to come here when the weather is good. Once it rains or snows, it will be over."

This is also true, although there is still a little water from the snow melt to make the road muddy.It’s just that it can be overcome as a whole. If it rains or snows, the road condition will definitely get worse immediately.

Just when Chen Ruobai was still worried, Lesnar's voice came from the intercom, "Robert, bring tools to help."

Chen Ruobai stopped immediately, and walked forward with Dick carrying the shovel.

Lesnar drove the bulldozer rumblingly to shovel the snow, and a lot of snow slid down the small slope in front of him, forming a thick pile.If there was no bulldozer to open the way, Chen Ruobai and the others might really have to spend a lot of effort.

The bulldozer could only shovel the snow to the two sides, because there was a small slope on the outside, Chen Ruobai and the others were still worried that the car would slide down.The snow should also be piled up, as a small sign, so that the following teams can see clearly.

If you are busy with the situation in front of you, you need to continue to set off. There will not be only one situation like this.Along the way, Chen Ruobai and the others basically dealt with such situations constantly.

Lesnar, who was leading the way ahead, was relieved to see the relatively flat and straight road in front of him. No accident, the next section of the road was easy to walk.

Lesnar thinks it's easy to go, but Chen Ruobai can't.

Although there are iron chains tied to the tires, it doesn't mean it's easy to go.The bulldozer is crawler-type, and has a high body and high horsepower. Some general road conditions will not cause any trouble to the bulldozer at all.

But pickups are not good. The road in front of me looks good, but those are relatively flat roads.There was still a lot of snow on the road, and Chen Ruobai himself could only walk on the tracks of the bulldozer.

The next moment Chen Ruobai was dumbfounded, the car sank, the left front wheel went into the pit, and couldn't get out for a long time.

Dick quickly tied the iron chain, and then used the excavator to pull the pickup out.

After climbing out of the pit, Chen Ruobai complained immediately, "It's a good thing we made a way here, otherwise all of us would be trapped here. Let's solve this pit, it can't trap our transport vehicle."

It's good to keep busy, but this time it's to fill up the small pit, all of this is also the work of Chen Ruobai and the others.Choosing to take the initiative to open up the road is to do these things well.

Under normal circumstances, it takes three hours to travel from the small town to the mine, but that premise is 'normal circumstances'.

It is obviously not a normal situation now, the speed of the car itself is slow, coupled with the need to constantly open the road, Chen Ruobai and the others are ready to spend seven or eight hours to open the road.

This kind of thing will not only trouble Chen Ruobai, other gold mining teams will also have such troubles.If you choose to enter the mine when winter is not fully over, be prepared to overcome these muddy roads.

All of this was within Chen Ruobai's expectations, even slightly better than expected.

After all, Chen Ruobai's mine is in a valley, and the terrain is not particularly complicated.Some mines are more difficult if they are located halfway up the mountain, and you need to be more careful when entering the mine.

"Robert, a tree fell in front." Lesnar's voice made Chen Ruobai's luck disappear, "Bring your tools here."

Chen Ruobai could only stop the car again, and set off with Dick carrying the rope and the chainsaw.The heavy snow had knocked down the tree, and now it was lying on the side of the road, which also affected Chen Ruobai's progress.

It's just a small situation, and it's nothing at all, just drag the big tree away and throw it to the side of the road.As long as it doesn't affect everyone's progress, there is no problem.

Dashu has dealt with this, and Lesnar, who opened the way ahead, encountered a new situation.The small dirt slope had landslide, and snow and gravel covered more than half of the dirt road.At this time, the importance of the bulldozer was shown. Lesnar, who studied hard, completed the job very well and cleared those obstacles.

Dick stood by the side of the road, smoking a cigarette, and calculated, "As long as we don't get into big trouble, we can see the mine in an hour."

Chen Ruobai agreed with this statement and was also very troubled, "I am very worried about our follow-up team. We can pass without heavy equipment. But if there is heavy equipment, our team may not pass so easily."

"The mining washing machine will not be shipped this time, and it will be shipped when the weather is better." Dick said with an idea, "They will leave early tomorrow morning, and come here when there is still some ice on the road."

Some ice on the road is actually nothing, and the last thing people living in Alaska worry about is icy roads.

It seems that this is the only way to go. There is definitely no way for the follow-up convoy to arrive today. It can only be that the advance team arrives at the mine smoothly. These seem to be the most important things.

The road is difficult, this is Chen Ruobai's feeling.Since the gold rush, Chen Ruobai has always felt this way.Whether it is during the gold rush season or at this time now, there are always difficulties in traveling, but the specific situations we face are different.

The bulldozer opened the way ahead, and Chen Ruobai followed closely behind in the pickup truck. The road was really not that easy.

Some of the snow on the road needs to be shoveled, and some gullies need to be filled.If you come across fallen trees, or small landslides, these need to be cleaned up.

Although all this took a lot of time, it did make Chen Ruobai and the others feel extremely cumbersome.But these things can't be sloppy, and everything is to allow the subsequent teams to enter the field. The current work is necessary.

There must be no delay, there must be no sloppyness in the slightest, and it is definitely not possible to muddle along, what needs to be done is to be more careful.Full sense of responsibility, this is the responsibility that the advance team should assume.

Although it was a little bit of hard work, the journey along the way was safe and sound, but fortunately, all of this is in the past tense.

The moment he saw the mine, Chen Ruobai almost felt tears welling up in his eyes.Although there are only two rows of low board houses, it is Chen Ruobai's mine.Those snow-covered waste piles also look so pleasing to the eye at the moment.

"We're back!" Chen Ruobai honked the horn frantically, and shouted loudly, "I'm back again! I want to pan for gold, I want to get rich!"

It seems that there is a little bit of madness, but there is no problem, Chen Ruobai has the right to be so excited and excited now.

After a little venting, Chen Ruobai also sent a signal to Dewei and the others that the follow-up team will come early tomorrow!
