Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 133 Success or Failure
If everything goes well, then naturally there is nothing to worry about. For Chen Ruobai, it is time to explore the mines and continue to explore the mines.

Chen Ruobai, who got up early, was about to leave, and Drake immediately delivered a food box, which was full of lunch.Burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, this is very Drake-style food, packed with calories.

Taking a look at these things, Chen Ruobai was a little worried, "I will definitely gain weight, and I may waste food."

Drake didn't care, and comforted him insincerely, "You have a heavy workload, so it's not easy to gain weight. I lost three pounds. When I leave the mine, I will definitely lose fifty pounds!"

Lawrence immediately complained, saying, "He just weighed the day before yesterday, and he is still 203 pounds (92KG), and he has even gained weight."

Drake became furious and warned Lawrence, "Boy, you have to check your food for every meal in the future, and I will add toppings to you!"

Looking at these laughing employees, Chen Ruobai couldn't help laughing too.The mood is still good. As long as everyone continues to maintain the current state, the work will definitely be smooth and easy.

Da Zhuang jumped into the car skillfully, and he was also familiar with the process of going out to explore the mines, so he just followed.

The whole journey is not considered fast, but Chen Ruobai's speed is not too slow, mainly because he is familiar with this place.

It is enough to continue to search forward, and these are the most important things in his opinion.

The ancient river channel, this is the scope of Chen Ruobai's exploration, and this is where he thinks the most likely place for gold to appear.

Chen Ruobai, who was driving forward, was originally in a happy mood, but suddenly his expression became serious, and the next job would be difficult.

The reason is very simple, along the direction of the proven ancient river, what suddenly appeared in front of him was a broken wall.In other words, the ancient river channel is now buried by mountains. If we continue to explore, we will have to dig mountains, and the amount of work will be huge!

It's not even just that the difficulty of prospecting will increase. If a gold mine is found, the difficulty of mining may also increase a lot.

"Detour in?" Chen Ruobai, who was holding a map, was studying it carefully, and he was a little unhappy, "The foundation is too poor. Although there is a map, it is not accurate enough. I thought I could bypass this place, but I didn't know it was because of the mountain. block."

I really don't know what to say about this, the uncanny workmanship of nature is unexpected.Don't say that such a small mountain is blocking it now, the ancient river is just "pressed" by the mountain, it is really not worth mentioning.

The Himalayas were still in the ocean before. If you don’t know about historical changes and geological movements, who would believe it?

It's okay even if you can't believe it. At this time, you can only accept this reality. It is basically impossible to change these things with manpower.

There are two roads in front of Chen Ruobai, one is to detour to see if he can find any mountain roads, or he can open up some roads by himself and continue to explore along the direction of the ancient river.

Another option is for Chen Ruobai to get off the car now, climb up this broken wall and start exploring on foot.

It is impossible to give up, Chen Ruobai will definitely explore along the ancient river.After finally finding out the specific information of this ancient river channel, Chen Ruobai will not give up easily.

"It's fine if I make a mistake in my judgment." Looking at the steep slope in front of me, Chen Ruobai said to himself, "If I make a mistake in my judgment, since the ancient river is not here, I can still change the direction, and maybe I can bypass this obstacle. But No matter how I look at it now, it doesn’t look like I’ve found the wrong place, really not!”

Although I was making complaints about it, and I was holding on to the last bit of luck, but what should be done must still be done, prospecting is not so easy.

If they were all in a flat place, or where the traces were obvious, there wouldn't be so many things.

If it were really that easy, there would be no more gold mines waiting for Chen Ruobai to find out.Although he has certain abilities and skills, just don't underestimate other gold diggers, those people are also capable.

Many of the easy-to-find gold mines, and even some hard-to-find gold mines, have been discovered and mined, and what is left to Chen Ruobai may be some gold mines that are not so easy to find.After all, it has been nearly 100 years, and generations of gold diggers who have come and gone have explored some places that may have gold over and over again.

Then it is better to recognize the reality clearly, the worse the environment is, the worse it is, as long as you can find gold.

Even if he had some complaints in his heart, Chen Ruobai still had no hesitation, he carried some necessary tools on his back, and went to explore the way and check briefly.

This is the case with prospecting, and there is no way to ask for terrain and the like. You can only take one step at a time.When encountering a situation, that is to find a way to solve it and overcome it, this is what he should do.

Da Zhuang didn't care at all, for it, prospecting and the like didn't have any psychological burden at all.From Da Zhuang's point of view, going out to prospect for mines is equivalent to playing games. Being energetic, he obviously prefers to go out, and he can run around without too many constraints.

Before setting off, Chen Ruobai planned to do a little 'rock climbing', just treat it as an adventure.

"Da Zhuang, I don't think it's that difficult to walk this way." Patting Da Zhuang on the head, Chen Ruobai laughed, "The front is a cliff, which looks a bit steep. But if we walk from the side, there must be no problem."

The terrain in front of me should be a 'waterfall', at least it looks like a waterfall.Chen Ruobai didn't think there was a big problem, he didn't need to care about the landform here before, as long as he did the current thing well.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Ruobai can also make some judgments by exploring along the ancient river.

In ancient times, there used to be a river meandering here, and most of the river courses were in river valleys.

There are mountains and mountains on both sides of the strait, that is to say, there are no monkeys here, or it is a reduced version of "the apes on both sides of the strait can't cry".

Holding a branch of a shrub, Chen Ruobai took a step forward and successfully started the first step of 'rock climbing'.Da Zhuang wagged his tail anxiously, took a few steps back, then trotted and sprinted, jumped vigorously, and climbed up the small slope smoothly.

Everything is going well, at least it looks like the starting condition is good.Just continue to climb towards the top of the cliff, and by the way, check the situation of this cliff, and make sure that this is indeed the area where the ancient river once flowed.

After climbing up to a height of more than three meters, Chen Ruobai felt that the foothold under his feet was relatively wide and stable. Naturally, he could check carefully to see what was going on under the soil surface.

The Luoyang shovel hadn't shoveled a few times, but just shoveled away the floating soil on the surface, and Chen Ruobai felt that the shovel had touched the rock wall.

Then there is nothing to say, and quickly shoveled away the surface soil with a shovel, exposing the inner rock.

"Shale?" Chen Ruobai's heart skipped a beat, and he also felt a little drumming, "If it's shale, it will be a big trouble. According to what I learned earlier, if you can't find shale and sandstone, it's not a Feixie Waterfall. There is no water on it. Seeing the protruding slate formations, it's certainly not Feixie Falls."

Although his heart was pounding, Chen Ruobai didn't care so much now, he still needed to continue to check.

Now he is also watching some situations carefully, even if he can make some judgments based on the existing clues, that is not enough.Further exploration is needed to obtain more clues, so that a real judgment can be made.

Go on rock climbing, Chen Ruobai believes that he will be able to find more clues and get a clear answer.It's just that those discoveries just now made Chen Ruobai feel bitter. It seems that the ancient river is really on this hillside.

Whether it will increase the difficulty of prospecting, or whether it will increase the difficulty of subsequent mining, are all things that need to be considered when lagging behind.If you can't find gold, everything is useless.

Chen Ruobai, who is determined to climb rocks, stopped and stopped all the way, and he climbed up this rock slope of about 15 meters smoothly.

Panting heavily, Chen Ruobai also heaved a sigh of relief, now that he is condescending, he feels that he is almost exhausted.This cliff is about [-] degrees. It is not an easy task to climb up. Even if the slope is not high, the road is relatively steep. The floating soil on the surface is shallow and even a little slippery. It is not easy to climb.

But now you don't need to care about those things, as long as you can climb up, that's the most important thing.

After climbing to the top of the slope, Chen Ruobai immediately felt that his eyes were more open, and also realized that something was wrong.

"I'll go, you really made it harder for me!" Looking at the open area in front of him, Chen Ruobai muttered to himself, "The waterfall rushes down here, and there is a huge pool upstream, how can I put the machine Bring it up!"

Thinking about these things, Chen Ruobai didn't delay any longer, because what caught his eye was a relatively wide and huge pool.The slightly sunken area also shows that this is probably the former water storage area.

There may be a large amount of gold deposited here, which naturally means that Chen Ruobai needs to explore carefully.

There was nothing to hesitate, Chen Ruobai immediately started to act, took the shovel and began to shovel the soil.

Chen Ruobai's eyes lit up just after digging up some floating soil on the surface, because some golden light appeared.The strength is also relatively large, which means that the particles of gold are also relatively large.

The excited Chen Ruobai felt that he might become prosperous again, and he probably found Jin Wowo again.

We have to continue digging to see how deep the ore sand layer is here. Compared with just digging less than [-] centimeters, we reached the ore sand layer.This seems to indicate that the difficulty of mining is low, but it also brings huge risks.

If there wasn't too thick a layer of ore, it meant that Chen Ruobai and the others couldn't dig out more ore and wash out more gold.

The volume of the ore sand layer also determines the success or failure of the gold rush!
