Chapter 109 Preparations Before Washing

Chapter 109 Preparations Before Washing
Oil, food, or other daily necessities were brought in, which also ensured that Chen Ruobai's team could continue to work efficiently and stably, basically without any worries.

Apart from these supplies, what Chen Ruobai looked forward to the most was naturally his washing machine.

Although some modifications and upgrades have been made to the washing machine in winter, the design drawings and plans are also considered to be no problem.But that's just a look on paper, and now it's finally time to formally integrate the brand-new washing machine.

Lesner is driving the largest excavator and carefully transporting several parts of the washing machine, such as the drum, the trough belt, and ultimately some brackets that have been welded before, so as to ensure the efficient operation of the washing machine .

Dick grabbed the walkie-talkie and said while stepping back, "Be careful, pay attention to the slope ahead."

Lesnar didn't reply, but continued to drive the excavator intently, suspending the feeding chute for transportation.Chen Ruobai and the others swarmed up, grabbed the sling, pushed the edge of the chute, adjusted the position carefully, and then instructed Lesnar to put down the feeding chute.

"Perfect!" Chen Ruobai said happily, not without pride, "There is no problem with the connection, let's continue to work."

Dick stood on the iron tower and said seriously, "Next is the conveyor belt, it must be fixed!"

Of course, there is no need to remind me too much. If the conveyor belt weighs more than one ton, it will definitely cause a big accident if it hits a person.

Carefully hang up the wire rope, just in case there is still a safety rope, so that you can feel at ease.Lesnar also drove the excavator to slowly hoist the conveyor belt and slowly drive towards the feeding chute.

"Slow down!" Chen Ruobai grabbed the walkie-talkie and observed carefully, "Don't shake it too much, it won't be easy to connect!"

The excavator that Lesnar was driving was slower, but that wasn't a big deal.Dick also directed everyone to connect the conveyor belt to the outlet of the feeding chute, which was another part of the assembly work.

Although it is still relatively cold, everyone is already sweating profusely. Helping to adjust these steel parts is not an easy job, and these also require a lot of effort.

Devi looked at the three-meter-long conveyor belt and joked with a smile, "It's just an extra section of trough washing, I don't think it's very advanced."

"That's different!" Chen Ruobai was not happy, and said, "This section can be screened and cleaned, and the big stones can be discharged in advance. And the advantage of this section of the conveyor belt is that our ore can be evenly distributed into the drum The ore washing machine part, which can improve our ore washing efficiency.”

Montgomery also said, "I also think this is very good. When we washed the ore last year, we poured the ore directly into it. Sometimes it would cause a burden on the ore washing machine, or there would be too much ore to run. Don't worry about it now. Our ore will enter the ore washing machine at a constant speed, and we can also clean up large rocks in advance.”

Just add a section of trough conveyor belt with nozzles, just for preliminary cleaning of ore and removal of big stones.This is not very advanced, but Chen Ruobai thinks this process is very necessary.

Improving the efficiency of ore washing is what Chen Ruobai looks forward to the most. He will never be satisfied with some small achievements before, nor will he be satisfied with the equipment he owns.

Because he knows that there are more and more advanced machines, and because he can see his own shortcomings and some shortcomings of the equipment in the continuous gold mining work, he needs to improve and make up for it.

Looking at the machine in front of him, Devi also said with emotion, "It's only been a year, but our equipment has been upgraded too much. From the earliest gold pan to the trough washing machine, we are always increasing equipment."

Chen Ruobai grasped the key point and emphasized, "The most important thing is to find enough gold so that our equipment can work. Many gold diggers have bigger washing machines, but they can't find gold!"

Chen Ruobai and the others laughed unkindly, but all this is very normal.

It is true that panning for gold can make you rich overnight, but at the end of the day, you have to find gold.No matter how big the equipment is or how diligent the people are, those are not the decisive factors. Those who can find gold will make money.

While talking, the drum washing machine was also hoisted, and Chen Ruobai and the others couldn't continue chatting.It is still more important for them to hurry up and install the equipment.

"Remember this is the tail tank, not the waste discharge outlet." Dick said to Lawrence seriously, "There are some fine gold that cannot be washed out in the previous process, so stop here, and be sure to check here, Take out the ore inside in time, if it is silted up here, your work is not careful enough."

"The one next to it is the collector, where you can see a lot of gold." Chen Ruobai, who was twisting the screw, also said, "You must have also seen that there are many gaps here, all of which are to discharge the stones. Wash the ore When the situation is different, pick out the big stones in the conveyor belt and the trough washing machine and throw them away."

Lawrence is naturally obedient, this little rookie has a relatively down-to-earth personality, and Chen Ruobai is more at ease in doing things.

After a busy half a day, the washing machine is basically assembled.However, Chen Ruobai also understands that this does not mean that everything will be fine. Next, Dick needs to continue to be busy, check carefully, and do some finishing work.

Obviously, these are not small things. There are no small things in the mine, and everything must be done well.

Chen Ruobai, who was a little tired, walked towards the living area, and could smell the fragrance from a distance, and it was pretty good that Drake was in charge of the logistics.He can't make desserts and the like, and he is far inferior to Abigail in this respect.Just talking about barbecue, Drake's craftsmanship is absolutely nothing to say, his fat is not for nothing.

Seeing Chen Ruobai and the others come back, Drake happily shouted, "I'm preparing Brazilian barbecue, and I've made some improvements!"

Chen Ruobai was puzzled, and asked strangely, "You know Brazilian barbecue? I thought you only knew American barbecue."

"I don't know where Brazil is, I don't even know where Texas is, but I know that Brazilian barbecue is delicious!" Drake said proudly, "I have prepared enough charcoal fire, this kind of barbecue is authentic!"

It also sounds very good, and it should be rewarded after hard work.

Although Drake likes to eat, it is also a kind of enjoyment to see others eating the delicacies he made.

"Wait a minute, coarse salt hasn't been sprinkled yet." Seeing that Chen Ruobai was about to reach out, Drake said hastily, "You have to keep the moisture, this kind of barbecue is authentic."

After saying this, Drake grabbed some coarse salt and sprinkled it on the meat skewers, and he became more and more proud.

Chen Ruobai had no choice but to give a thumbs up and praised, "You can definitely become an excellent barbecue master. I think you are excellent. The barbecue is golden on both sides and has a strong fragrance. I already want to get your barbecue sauce recipe."

Drake immediately shook his head and refused decisively, "I won't give you the recipe for barbecue sauce, it's the secret recipe of the Drake family."

A few people were happily eating barbecue, drinking coffee, and cola. Chen Ruobai was now affected, and he liked cola and coffee more and more.It's just that I'm not used to drinking Coke while eating.

There is no need to make a fuss about a liter of Coke a day like Lesnar. It can be said that Americans are one of the countries that like to drink Coke the most.

Dewei put down the cup in his hand, looked at Chen Ruobai and asked, "We will continue to mine the ore in the afternoon, and the ore washing machine will definitely be able to be debugged within two days. When will we start washing the ore?"

"Can't wait?" Chen Ruobai thought for a while and said, "Actually, I can't wait too. I think that as soon as the machine is debugged, we can consider starting mining."

"We can definitely wash out at least [-] ounces of gold this time!" Leisner said excitedly immediately, "Our first ore washing here last year was very good, and now the ore sand is of higher quality, and our working hours Also longer. It would be a colossal failure if it didn’t reach two hundred ounces.”

Montgomery was unconvinced, and quickly said, "When did you become such a conservative person? I don't believe that there are only [-] ounces of gold here. We can get [-] ounces or even more gold in this wash." !"

The two rookies, Drake and Lawrence, just listened. During the time in the mine, they seemed to understand what panning for gold was.In fact, it is constantly digging soil from the mine pit, and it seems that there is no technical content.

Don't look at Chen Ruobai's confident appearance, but also heard that Chen Ruobai and the others found a lot of gold in this mine last year, but they haven't experienced gold laundering, so they naturally don't know if there is any gold here.

When it came to absorbing gold, Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "I thought the price of gold last year was low enough, but I didn't expect the price of gold to be even lower this year! In January, the price of gold dropped to less than [-] US dollars Every ounce!"

Several people immediately began to scold. Although the price of gold has risen a little, it is only at [-] US dollars per ounce. This is a 'heavy loss' for Chen Ruobai and the others.

Although I feel that the price of gold is unsatisfactory, I must still work when it is time to work.It is also because everyone is somewhat under financial pressure now, and there is no way to stock up and wait for a higher price before selling.

Let’s consider the matter of mining first. After earning money, those who repay the loan need to repay the loan, and those who support their families need to support their families.

There are also people like Chen Ruobai who have to consider continuing to invest, upgrade equipment, and find more gold mines to earn more money. He is also under some financial pressure now.

After washing the ore, Chen Ruobai has to hurry up, and Beringhai can't delay the big money-absorbing.
