Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 14 Hard work
Abigail picked up Chen Ruobai by car, and couldn't help complaining, "My boyfriend is working for you, and I still need to pick you up now. You are attending a training class, but I need to help you purchase supplies."

"Your work will be finished soon, and I have no money." Chen Ruobai spread his hands and said weakly, "I'm going back to the mine soon, and we're going to enter the state of gold panning again."

Passing the satellite phone to Chen Ruobai, Abby said, "These things are expensive, especially the phone bill."

Although Chen Ruobai also knew that the satellite phone was very expensive, but the current situation would not work without it.Not only is it inconvenient for me, but it also needs these things for mining, otherwise I won’t be able to pass the security review.

Abby started the car and continued, "I prepared a second-hand generator for you, which should be enough for you to use."

This is good news, but Chen Ruobai still said, "We must save electricity, and there must be no power lines there. Diesel generators are inconvenient, and our biggest problem there is the inconvenient transportation."

Although there are various inconveniences, in order to make more money, we can only work hard to overcome these conditions.If various constructions are developed, I believe that the work in the mine will be smoother.

"You need to hurry up. More and more people are entering Alaska now." Abby said with some concern, "It's like this every year. People have come to pan for gold since the winter has not completely left. Now is the most suitable time to go to Alaska." During the gold rush season, everyone wants to make money while the permafrost thaws."

It is certain to hurry up, but for Chen Ruobai, there is no need to worry too much now.He has now found a mine, and he has very good gold reserves without accident, so don't worry too much.

Now that the training is over and the procedures are complete, Chen Ruobai will also go into the wilderness to start panning for gold.

Da Zhuang didn't have any objections, whether he was in the wild or at home, he didn't seem to care, as long as he could follow Chen Ruobai.

Chen Ruobai, who was carrying big bags and small bags, trudged through the river. This time, he came over in a fair manner. It was Abby who sent him to the road where cars could not drive.You don't have to continue walking for a day or half a day, it's really a lot easier.

A few small wooden houses were seen from a distance, which made Chen Ruobai couldn't help laughing.The shabby is a little shabby, but anyway, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no need to continue to live in a shack.

Seeing Chen Ruobai, Lesnar and Devi were also very happy.Especially when they knew that Chen Ruobai had brought some supplies, they would be even happier, and the quality of life could be improved a little bit.

"It seems that your performance is great!" Chen Ruobai looked around and said happily, "Not only our dormitory has been built, but you have even leveled the ground."

Lesner said proudly, "Look there, we have sorted out the ore dump, we just need to wait for the water pipe to come, and we can start washing the ore directly there."

"We will start mining tomorrow, and we have no money." Chen Ruobai said frankly, "We will try to mine for five days, and then we have to go back to exchange money, and you have to take turns to participate in training."

If you want to pan for gold, you also need a 'job qualification certificate'. If you don't have training, the Mining Bureau will find trouble.

Lesnar and Devi naturally understand this truth, but at this stage they can only go back in turn, the manpower is seriously insufficient.

Put the brought beef into the portable refrigerator, which can slightly replenish the supplies for two days.Eat better, panning for gold is hard physical labor after all, so you can't wrong yourself.

"We live and work here, and it has attracted some people's attention." Lesnar reminded at this time, "We saw a helicopter flying in the sky the day before yesterday, and it seemed to be the police."

This is also normal. The police equipment in the United States is still very good, and it is very common to be equipped with helicopter patrols and so on.

Chen Ruobai didn't care, and said confidently, "Come on, I don't mind if they come to check our procedures."

Having a license means you have confidence, and you don't need to be sneaky now.

It's true that they are full of confidence, but it doesn't mean that Chen Ruobai and the others have nothing to fear.The laws that should be complied with must be complied with. They are mining legally now, and in some respects they need to strictly abide by the laws.

Da Zhuang was running around happily, and he was obviously happier in this environment where he could let him have fun.And this period of time has been by the master's side, which undoubtedly makes Da Zhuang happier.

Chen Ruobai didn't care so much, he rested after dinner.Now there is no electricity here, and there are indeed no leisure and entertainment projects.Going to bed early is also for getting up early to work.

"We'll be able to fish after a while." While Chen Ruobai was brushing his teeth, Lesnar looked at the river in front of him and said, "Although our place is not the main place for salmon to migrate, we can still see them in the river."

Beginning in June every year, salmon migration has become a beautiful sight in Alaska.Don't talk about people from Alaska at that time, many people from the United States and even from all over the world will come to Alaska.

As for fishing, there is definitely no problem, but there are strict restrictions on the quantity and size of fishing.

"At that time we can catch more fish, although I know it is illegal." Devi also added with a smile, "Our supplies are too difficult, and we have no other better way."

Chen Ruobai joked, "If we find more gold, I don't mind using a helicopter to resupply it."

This is also a way, although Alaska is relatively remote, and the price of many things in the continental United States is more expensive.But in general, helicopter replenishment is not completely out of consideration.

Chen Ruobai can also afford to spend [-] to [-] US dollars for a supply.But the premise of all of that is to be profitable, because he can have a very good output here.

A few people chatted and laughed, and then went out to work in dirty clothes, and now they have to continue digging ore sand.

The method everyone is using now is still the ridiculous looking manual excavation.There is no other way, and this is the only condition at this stage.Only by continuous accumulation can we better mine and mine.

"I think we can consider introducing a 60-type excavator, and there is no problem with air transportation." Lesnar panted while leaning on a hoe, "Although the six-ton ​​excavator is a bit small, it is enough for us. It can have 0.3 tons per shovel. Cube is much stronger than us."

Chen Ruobai said angrily, "Even if it is transported by air, none of us can drive. You have to hurry up, I don't want to hire another person, it will only cost me a lot of money."

It is actually not easy to transport the excavator by air.

Although there are some heavy helicopters, even the Mi-26, the heaviest helicopter in the world, has a maximum load of [-] tons.That is still for military use, and the load of helicopter airlift in the civilian market is not so much.

Devi's eyes lit up, he looked at the ore sand on the ground and smiled, "I just saw a piece of gold, but I've been used to it for a long time."

Devi's words also made everyone laugh. Gold is no stranger to everyone, and you can see some occasionally during this period.

It is better to continue to pan for gold and accumulate more capital.When you have enough funds in hand, you can consider excavators and large-scale mining machines. If you want to make more money easily, you need to work hard now.

Devi and Lesnar were able to take [-]% of the harvest each, a large part of the reason is that they belong to the start-up team.It is impossible for people in the future to take away such a share, they can only get the harvest of the market.

Continue to pan for gold hard, and take turns to study and train, these things are very necessary.

Abigail is not idle either. This non-staff staff is replenishing supplies from time to time, inquiring about market conditions, and even helping to contact excavators in California.

As for why excavators are shipped from California, of course it is because excavators in California are cheaper.Even if it is shipped by sea, the price is much cheaper than direct purchase in Alaska.

Even if you are panning for gold now, and you seem to be making a lot of money, you still need to save what you need.
