Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 190 Preliminary Construction
The work of washing the ore was completed, and Chen Ruobai also set off without stopping.He doesn't need to worry about the things in the mine. People like Dewei can handle these things well, and this is also some of their professional work.

Picked up old Devi and builder Jason Charles, now just need to head straight for Fortune Creek.

Old Devi was eloquent, very experienced, "I've been here, I used to hunt here when I was very young. We all know Elk Creek, but we didn't expect that there would be something in this creek. Lots of gold."

Chen Ruobai was not happy, and said emphatically, "Is there any mistake? I haven't dug up a lot of gold here yet, why do you all think that there is a lot of gold here?"

Charles didn't say anything, because this is not his major, and he and Chen Ruobai are not familiar with it either.But old Dewei was not happy, Chen Ruobai's words could fool other people, but those who were a little more familiar couldn't hide it.

Chen Ruobai pointed to the stream on the side of the road and said, "This is not a very good place. Generally speaking, it flows down from the mountain. For gold diggers, they don't have enough space to pan for gold."

Old Devi also nodded in approval. This is a section of downhill road, and the stream meanders down the mountain.And in the middle of this narrow river valley, there are indeed not many platforms for various machines, which may be the reason why many gold diggers miss this place.

As for finding gold in a stream, such a thing may have happened 100 years ago.

Whether it was the gold rush in Alaska or the original California gold rush, gold was first discovered in the river.

But this does not mean that every river and stream has a large amount of gold, and it is not that you can see gold by washing ore with a pan.

The gold here may be relatively fine particles, or it may be buried a little deeper.Of course, it is also possible that gold diggers have tried to pan for gold here before, but they just found nothing.

Charles just paid attention to the road conditions. In fact, there are no roads at all, just driving in the wasteland.According to this trend, there may be no road ahead at any time, and not all the time there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain.

Sure enough, as expected, there will be no roads soon, and the vehicle can no longer move forward, so it can only stop halfway up the mountain.

After getting out of the car, Chen Ruobai spread his hands and said, "This is it, we need to walk now. The worse news is that there is no signal here, so we can't use drones anymore."

Charles said with a smile, "You can consider improving the performance of drones. Generally, consumer drones are basically controlled by radio waves. Equipped with ground control stations and signal antennas, these things are obviously not the biggest problem."

Chen Ruobai showed a pensive expression, it seemed that he still had a lot of room for improvement, and he was not familiar with many things.

Charles didn't care about these, he just said to Chen Ruobai, "I will give you detailed drawings soon, and I will complete the work. Trust me, I am a professional."

This is why Chen Ruobai is willing to spend money. He can save a lot of time and effort by entrusting professional things to professional people.

A problem that can be solved with money is obviously not a real problem.Such professionals can make Chen Ruobai's next series of work more effective.

This time, Chen Ruobai brought Charles and old Dewei to Facai Creek to let them know where their next job would be.

All the way through the mountains and rivers, the old Devi probably understood why the other gold diggers failed to find gold.The main reason is that this young man, Chen Ruobai, is so powerful that he actually crossed a section of rapids by himself.

After finally climbing to the top of the torrent, not to mention suddenly enlightened, the big guys are now relieved.Finally, I know the end of the work, and I also know how to do the next work well.

Old Devi looked at the river beach in front of him, pointed to his feet and asked, "Is our destination right here?"

"Yes, it is here at this stage." Chen Ruobai made a request and said, "If we don't cut down some trees, we can't come in."

Looking at the mountainside, Dewei said to Chen Ruobai, "My preliminary plan is to come from the left. Although the road may be slightly extended, the mountain road on the left looks gentler. We can choose a gentle stream area across."

Chen Ruobai also had no objection, he also thought so, "It looks good, we have reached a consensus. And I think the trees over there look a little sparser, which is convenient for us to work quickly and efficiently."

Charles said quickly at this time, "I may not be so optimistic. It does look flatter there. But you may not have noticed that there may be some signs of a slippery slope on the left side. If it were me, I would choose the right side."

Old Devi immediately started discussing with Charles, and the two had their own opinions, which seemed to be well-founded.

Chen Ruobai doesn't need to be anxious now, everyone discusses together, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.This can be regarded as the three cobblers surpassing Zhuge Liang. It is good for everyone to work together to solve some problems.

After discussing with the old Devi, Charles said directly, "If we open up a mining area here, the first thing we need to do is to renovate the upstream. If the road is repaired, I will prepare for drainage, and we need flood control. "

This is of course no problem. If Charles hadn't taken the initiative to guard against the flood, Chen Ruobai would have considered replacing him.

Charles looked at Chen Ruobai and asked, "You want to make sure that this area becomes your mining area, so we need to bypass it, right?"

Seeing Chen Ruobai's affirmative nod, Charles immediately said, "My preliminary idea is to straighten the upper river channel, so that the stream can bypass here and return to the river channel. This will not affect your work, and when the flash flood comes, we can ensure timely flood discharge."

"Sounds good, I think it's quite suitable." Chen Ruobai said after pondering for a moment, "But it's not enough, the last time I came to explore the mine, there was a heavy rain, and the water flow at that time was many times what it is now, and the stream has already arrived This is where we stand now.”

Charles continued, "I understand, so we will also reinforce the upstream. Unless we encounter a particularly large flash flood, if it is just an ordinary torrential rain, it will not affect this place."

It seems okay to say so, but Chen Ruobai is not sure about it easily now, he needs to get more detailed construction drawings.

Now what had to be done had been done, old Devi knew where the trees needed to be cut, and Charles knew where the mines were.

The rest is naturally that they need to work overtime to fulfill some of Chen Ruobai's requirements, so that they can get the final payment.This is their job too, and they have to do these things well.

The three of them are carefully discussing various possibilities, and the current work is just the starting point for the construction of the mining area.Next, it needs to become more and more professional and more complex.The most important thing is that Chen Ruobai does not have so much time, so there is naturally no continuous discussion, and everyone needs to quickly invest in the construction stage.

For the old Devi, this matter is actually not difficult.Just grab some old buddies and start preparing directly.

It's nothing more than cutting down more trees and cutting down less trees, as long as those trees that get in the way are cut down.In fact, he doesn't need to worry about the follow-up road repairs. His job can be said to be the simplest.

It's just that the work of old Dewei is too important. The follow-up series of work are all based on the premise that these loggers complete the work smoothly and efficiently. If they can't get these things done earlier, others can only stare blankly.

The one-day on-site inspection still gave good feedback. Neither Old Devi nor Charles thought the work was too difficult, and they agreed to this cooperation resolutely after accepting some conditions from Chen Ruobai.

Signing a contract is a must, and all aspects are included in the contract.Chen Ruobai didn't believe in the so-called spirit of the contract, it was more reliable to sign the contract, because it was a guarantee for both parties.

The spirit of contract is actually only related to the cost of breach of contract. If the cost of breach of contract is too high, naturally there can only be the spirit of contract.

Chen Ruobai is naturally very concerned about a series of construction issues in the mine, but he is not particularly anxious now.

The main reason is that the time is relatively abundant, and the upstream mine is naturally a large mine, which is beyond doubt.But apart from this mine, Jinwowo downstream can't help but care.

Including the existing mine, Chen Ruobai has at least two months to make full preparations.If there is no accident, his team will be able to truly enter the mine at the end of this gold rush season.

This naturally means that there is plenty of time, and now you can be relatively calm, some things really can't be rushed.

The upstream mine needs to start the preliminary construction, and the downstream Jinwowo can't be delayed, and the things that should be prepared in advance must also be put on the agenda.It is best to achieve a seamless connection, and seize the time to make preparations to ensure more gains.

So it is not that Chen Ruobai has nothing to do, he is still busy now.There is no such thing as wanting to be a hands-off shopkeeper. During the gold rush season, you have to devote yourself to work at full capacity.

There are many things like contacting the logging machine, contacting the transport vehicle, including transporting the prefabricated house to the foot of the mountain, etc.

For the time being, old Dewei and his loggers can be regarded as Chen Ruobai's employees, and they need to provide them with the most basic working and living conditions. This is what he should do.

After two or three days of busy work, I finally saw a five-member logging team headed by Dewei enter the field, and finally the construction officially started!
