Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 108
When the work was on the right track, Chen Ruobai had less things to worry about, and everything was unfolding in an orderly manner.

Although some snow can still be seen as far as the eye can see, the mine is even more muddy.But it can be considered as a complete thaw, which is good news for gold diggers like Chen Ruobai.

Dick carried the water hose and shouted to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, a batch of supplies will be delivered today. If I don't come back in time, I will ask you to count them. You can definitely handle them."

"No problem, Paul and I will take care of these things." Chen Ruobai responded immediately, "Take care of John, he still needs protection."

Lawrence felt a little embarrassed. Compared with others, this young man who just turned [-] was still younger, and he was often teased these days.But it doesn't matter, as long as he can work and make money, he has no other better choice.

In fact, it is almost impossible for low-level people without academic qualifications and connections to find a high-paying job.Even if you want to take some crooked ways, you need to have ability and luck, otherwise it will be mediocre.

Seeing Dick and the others immediately, Chen Ruobai blew his whistle, and Da Zhuang barked twice as a response.The fat dog was having fun when it arrived at the mine, Chen Ruobai didn't bother to care about it, as long as it was near the mine.

With Da Zhuang's bullying personality, he would run back when there was a little trouble, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Gold!" Looking at the golden light coming out of the mine, Chen Ruobai had a smile on his face, "This mine is better than I imagined. With such a mine as a base, this year's income will not be bad!"

When they came to the mine, Chen Ruobai grabbed the walkie-talkie, "Stop, I'm going to check the mine."

The two excavators stopped working. Since Chen Ruobai wanted to inspect the mine, it must be a big deal, which cannot be ignored.

Walking to the bottom of the pit, Chen Ruobai carefully observed the distribution of the golden light, "The situation at the top is better, and the gold is denser. And there is still gold on the rock wall of the pit, that is to say, the top of the pit has to extend forward .”

The situation at the top is relatively good, but the situation at the bottom is not so good. There is no golden light emerging from the distance of about one meter from the bottom, which means that there is no accident, there is no gold there.

Lesnar came to Chen Ruobai, and asked strangely, "Robert, other gold diggers don't check so carefully."

Devi also added, "Those gold diggers really don't check the pits often, they just need to know the range and start digging."

"So their work is not efficient, and they may go bankrupt." Chen Ruobai said bluntly, "My constant inspection will let you know the key points of the work and prevent us from wasting time. The most correct mining plan can improve our efficiency , The accumulated time may allow us to dig one more gold mine."

After saying this, Chen Ruobai said, "The top of our pit will continue to extend forward, and I think there is still more gold here."

Lesnar and Devi felt that this was good news. In fact, when they first started digging, everyone looked for Jiang Xinzhou.

It's just that during the mining during this period, it was not completely aimed at Jiang Xinzhou and started digging.The top of Jiangxinzhou looks like there is more gold, so it is constantly extending forward.The sides are relatively modest, and the tail even less so.

The key area of ​​excavation is constantly moved forward, naturally because Chen Ruobai has set the scope, he knows where there is more gold.

Grabbing the Luoyang shovel to the end of the mine, Chen Ruobai said, "You don't have to be polite, you can do it now."

Lesnar and Devi were also speechless, but they could only grab the Luoyang shovel and start shoveling the soil, one shovel after another stuck to the bottom of the mine from left to right.And the soil samples dug up must be for Chen Ruobai's purpose.

"Three meters." Looking at the distance ruler, Lesnar said, "It seems that we have reached the soil layer, and the soil quality has changed."

Chen Ruobai rubbed the dirt and said, "Continue to dig down to see if you can find the ore. If you can't find the ore, it will be bad."

The soil taken out from the depths was naturally clear to Chen Ruobai at a glance, and he didn't need to do much research to know the gold content inside.

The situation at the bottom was really not good, Chen Ruobai couldn't see any gold, it was basically just useless dirt.

This is also a bad signal, because the soil also shows that the river sand is only covered with a layer, and it is very likely that the ore sand layer is only about three meters left.If this were the case, Chen Ruobai and the others obviously couldn't make more money.

Just when Chen Ruobai was worried, Dewei drilled out some gravel again, "Robert, is this mineral sand?"

Chen Ruobai was also stunned, because he saw gold again, although the particles were finer, it was indeed gold.Could it be that there is only a layer of soil on the ore sand layer, and there is still ore sand deeper?

"This is good news. Overthrow the previous plan and continue digging in this area." Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "Drill again to see how thick the ore sand layer is!"

Devi didn't have any opinion at all, he naturally hoped to see that the ore sand layer was as thick as possible.The more ore he dug, the greater the probability of getting gold. He clearly understood these simple truths.

It doesn't matter if the plan is temporarily changed, as long as the excavation plan is not completely overthrown, then there is no problem.As long as you can make money, it is not a problem to change some small plans.

Devi, who was digging hard, was quite optimistic at first, but after a while, his expression didn't look very good.He pushed down hard, but the feedback force made him feel that the situation was not good.

Chen Ruobai naturally understood that if nothing else happened, he would have encountered the bedrock layer, which also meant that it was unlikely that there would be any more ore sand.

Looking at the telescopic rod, Chen Ruobai knew it.If we continue to dig down, we still have a depth of about eight meters, which is neither too thick nor too shallow. In fact, this is quite a good depth, and we should feel quite satisfied now.

After all, including Jiangxinzhou to the bedrock layer, the depth is nearly 20 meters.Although the surface layer was covered with soil for more than three meters, Chen Ruobai and the others also dug out quite a lot of ore, which is already a good result.

Lesnar also said at this time, "It looks like there are only eight meters left, and I also touched the bedrock layer."

Both of them took back the Luoyang shovel, and some broken stones from the prying proved this even more, and they had indeed bottomed out.

"That can't be helped, we should be content." Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "If we continue to dig down, we can only continue to expand the space at the top, and we will even dig through the earth."

After initially determining the depth of the pit, Chen Ruobai said, "Try the situation at the top to see if the bedrock layer is complete."

Lesnar and Devi also started to act without saying a word. If the bedrock layer was dug out at the top by about eight meters, it means that the bedrock layer at the bottom is intact, which means that it has really bottomed out.Mining is at most extending to the surrounding areas, and it is impossible to develop deeper.

Lesnar and Devi seem to think that this is the bottoming, they just want to know the depth of the mine.But Chen Ruobai didn't think so, he was still paying close attention to the gold content in the excavated ore.

"The distribution seems to be relatively even, and there is still more gold at the top." Chen Ruobai calculated in his heart, "In this way, it is okay to extend towards the top."

It is boring and tiring to drill the soil continuously, but it is very necessary.

The hard work of Lesnar and Devi has also yielded results. If there is no accident, the ore sand layer is only about eight meters deep.The bottom is basically the bedrock layer, so obviously don't take too much chance.

Chen Ruobai rubbed the ore on his hands and said, "Not bad, enough for us to make a fortune. There is gold here, we can make a lot of money."

Lesnar and Devi also came over with smiles on their faces, "These gold particles don't look small!"

What Chen Ruobai pointed at was a grain of gold the size of a pea, such a size is indeed not small.Compared with the previous gold sands, these golds can be regarded as gold sands, and there is still a difference here.

This kind of gold is as fine as sand, so it is called placer gold.It's just that there are different differences in gold dust, some are small gold dust, and some are gold dross.As for dog head gold, generally speaking, this kind of naturally produced, impure gold is produced in alluvial placer gold deposits, and some are produced in secondary enrichment zones near the surface.

This is also an important clue to find gold mines and has high scientific research value.If someone stumbles across the dog's head gold in a certain place, it is possible to find veins containing gold by following the vines and upstream along the river valley.

"There is gold here. We know the depth, so let's start working." Chen Ruobai said decisively, "Work hard for a week, and we will start the first gold laundering of the new season, and we can all earn a lot of money!"

Upon hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Lesnar and Devi became even more excited.In the past six months, they had no income, they just kept spending money.The family background, which was not considered solid at first, is about to be empty, and now it must have income.

For gold diggers, mining is always the most exciting and anticipated thing.Only when more ore is dug out, there will be a sense of accomplishment in gold washing, and it is possible to harvest golden gold.

It was a pretty good drilling and got more valuable information, so Chen Ruobai was satisfied.

Now all he needs to do is wait patiently and work according to the excavation plan, everything should not be beyond his control.

As an excellent gold digger, Chen Ruobai likes the feeling that everything is under control.
