Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 175

The work on the first day was quite effective, and the pile of ore in front of me is the best proof. This is the result of everyone's labor.

Although the work is over, it does not mean that everyone is free.There is no obvious concept of going to and from get off work in the mine, and naturally there are no issues such as working hours, and there are things to be done no matter day or night.

And those are naturally not considered overtime pay or the like. If you accept working in a mine, you have to accept the particularity of this industry.Like many ocean-going fishing boats, as long as they are at the working place, except for the necessary rest time, they must work when they should work.

Dewei grabbed a handful of ore, and said to Chen Ruobai, "The particles are relatively coarse, and it seems to be in good condition."

Montgomery also added, "I think it's okay, it looks the same as the ore from our last mine."

These can also be regarded as the judgment of an experienced gold prospector, and some clues can be seen from the ore sand.Whether it is ore sand or soil, river sand or silt, there are naturally some differences.

Chen Ruobai smiled and fiddled with the ore in his hand, and said proudly after a while, "Brothers, this is why I like gold panning!"

Although it was just a tiny piece of gold, everyone was excited at this moment, because it was gold!

It is enough to have such a proof, it is enough to show that Chen Ruobai's judgment is not wrong, and it is enough to show that there is gold here.If you continue to make persistent efforts, you will naturally have a great possibility to find more gold and make more money.

Everyone works so hard for these things.There is no doubt about this. It seems that this new mine can give you enough surprises, and it can also give you more gains.

Lawrence squatted in front of the ore pile with a small stick and fiddled with it. He also wanted to experience the joy of finding gold.

He is also probably puzzled now, why what others see is only ore sand and soil, but Chen Ruobai seems to be able to have gold by grabbing a handful of ore sand at random, this is really amazing and unbelievable.

Chen Ruobai didn't care about those things, just said with a smile, "I think you all know the situation here now, and you also understand that there is a lot of gold here. Continue to work hard here, and I also need to start a new job."

Everyone naturally understood what Chen Ruobai meant. Of course his job was prospecting, which was the key point.

Devi was a little curious, "Robert, the area here is very large, can we complete the work here this year?"

"The mines here are not deep enough, I have already done investigation." Chen Ruobai said confidently, "If I can find a gold mine that has been constructed for two or three years, then I can enjoy life. Unfortunately, I can't do it. I don't have the good luck to find a big mine now."

Lesnar said directly, "If you find a super large gold mine, you will definitely increase equipment and employees immediately, and you will definitely want to dig out all the gold as soon as possible. I understand that there is no way for you. A real big mine."

Chen Ruobai also did not deny that the current team digs some small mines and gold nests, naturally there is no problem.

But if you are really lucky and find a relatively large mine, then the upgrade of the team and equipment is inevitable.

Some small mines now naturally need the current team to deal with, and there is definitely no problem with this.If he can find a big mine in the future, Chen Ruobai will become the boss of a real mining company and do some mining work that looks more professional.

Everyone is in a very good mood, and the smooth work naturally makes people feel happy.Now that I have found gold again, and know that I can continue to make money, I feel at ease.

Even if he has full confidence in Chen Ruobai, but sometimes he changes to a new mine, he still worries that Chen Ruobai will stumble.There is no need to worry now, his prospecting level is still online, and everyone can continue to follow him to start working and make money.

Back at the camp, Devi asked naturally, "The traces of this ancient river channel have been found out, and I know that the existing river channel is ahead. You probably need to change a tributary, or find the ancient river channel that disappeared. "

"Yes." Chen Ruobai didn't hide anything, there was no need to hide it, "I will indeed change places, fortunately this is Alaska, this is the Yukon Territory, the most important thing here is gold."

Devi said braggingly, "It looks like we need to change the area, I'm used to the environment here."

"I don't think there is anything to adapt to. The central interior is like this." Lesnar said, "And this is the Yukon Territory. The only thing we need to consider now is that the next transition may cost more time."

It doesn't seem to be a problem to say that, because these are indeed the main problems, and the others really don't need to care too much.As for the construction environment and the like, it depends on the specific conditions of the new mine.

It is basically impossible for the climate and environment to change, and it is impossible for there to be too many changes in this area.

Devi thought for a while, and then said, "Robert, I think you might need to consider bringing someone with you, which is better."

Looking at Chen Ruobai, Dewei explained earnestly, "You have always taken Da Zhuang to explore the mines. I believe in your outdoor ability, but I don't believe in Da Zhuang's ability. He will not be an excellent hunting dog or guard dog. , it is only a qualified pet dog."

Da Zhuang, whose reputation was hacked, didn't realize it, and continued to lie down in the kennel and take a nap steadily.If someone smears them, they will smear them. Anyway, they are irrelevant people. There is no need to care about the attitudes of these ordinary people. Sleeping steadily is life and enjoyment.

Lesnar also said at this time, "I think so too, you need a companion, it's safer."

Montgomery persuaded, "Yes, you make a lot of money now, you can always find gold, and many people know these things. Although the current situation is much better than before, we still need to be careful. Here is In the wilderness, sometimes people go missing."

If it was 100 years ago, there would indeed be some gold diggers who disappeared inexplicably. It is not surprising that some vicious cases happened in order to get gold. These are very normal things, this is human nature.

This is actually the case now, although the entire region of Alaska has a slightly lower crime rate due to the economy than other parts of the United States.But this does not mean that there are no vicious cases here, nor does it mean that everyone here does not close their doors at night or pick up lost things on the road.

Especially in the wilderness, if you want to attack gold mines, it may be a bit difficult, because those ore sands are useless, and you have to wash the mines yourself.

What's more, these miners working in the mine generally have a long and a short gun, and the firepower is relatively fierce, so there is definitely no big problem in coping with the general situation.If it means dozens of people besiege, then there is no other way, and there is a high probability that they can only accept their fate.

But if such a thing really happened, it would not be a small case. Even if someone wanted to go astray, he had to weigh the impact and risks.It is more straightforward to rob a small gold mine than to rob a bank or cash truck.

Seeing that Chen Ruobai did not speak, Dewei continued to persuade, "And the place where you work is very dangerous, I mean the terrain. Every year, some outdoor sports enthusiasts will encounter accidents, stumble, fall, or encounter wild animals. Attacks, we have to take into account that these things can happen, I don't want to make money and lose a good friend."

Why does this sound like being cursed?It always feels a little weird!

But Chen Ruobai is not a superstitious person, he knows that this is everyone's concern, not really cursing him.

Montgomery also said at this time, "Robert, do you believe that if you continue to find gold mines, some people will use you as a beacon. They don't need to attack you, they don't need to persecute you, they just need to follow you. When they find gold mines, they are the first to buy the mining rights, which is also a smart choice.”

Chen Ruobai was instantly terrified, because he had considered such a thing, and it was indeed an opportunistic way.If the time difference can be managed skillfully, it will really be a good business with huge profits.

If such a situation really happened, Chen Ruobai probably could only be a dumb man who was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis and couldn't tell.

Because this kind of method seems immoral, but it is really effective. At that time, Chen Ruobai will not even have a way to counter it.

"I've seen some movies where some gold diggers worked so hard to find the gold, and then suddenly the cowboys show up and they kill the gold diggers and take the gold mine." Lesnar continued, "Although it was a movie, That was cowboys, that was 100 years ago. But things like that still happen, it's just that people are a lot smarter now."

It seems that everyone is very concerned about Chen Ruobai, and they are also worried that he will have some accidents, or encounter the embarrassment of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole. Such things are obviously unacceptable to everyone.

Lawrence said suddenly, "Actually, I can be his assistant. I know my role and position. I'm not a bodyguard, but an assistant. I help him do a good job as an assistant when he's prospecting."

Drake knocked Lawrence down, "We are talking about bodyguards, not assistants. Sherlock Holmes needs Watson, a doctor with combat effectiveness. I can't take you to prospect, it will only become your nanny!"

Lawrence was in a hurry. He felt that when he grew up, he also had certain abilities and didn't need others to take care of him.

It's just obvious that everyone doesn't think so. No matter how you look at it, if you choose someone to go prospecting with Chen Ruobai, then it won't be Lawrence, there will be other candidates, and there will be better candidates.
