Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 22 Returning empty-handed
Carefully studying the map, Chen Ruobai made a judgment based on his simple experience.He is now looking for the river channel, the river channel that disappeared in the years of change.

"In the future, we must learn more about geography, study landform changes, etc." Chen Ruobai said to himself, and couldn't help laughing at himself, "If I was so active and self-motivated when I was studying, maybe I wouldn't be like this. "

This is probably the same reason. When I was studying, I was not self-motivated. A large part of the reason was that I was not proactive.

But now that I have experienced the beatings of the society and saw the actual benefits, my enthusiasm has suddenly increased.

Chen Ruobai, who is holding a small rake, has no way to completely search for the ancient river channels that may have become valleys and flat lands. He can only do some simple searches and excavations along the current river channels and beside the river channels.

In the final analysis, our own ability and experience are limited, and we also lack some relatively advanced equipment and professional teams.That can only be done with some work that doesn't seem to have much technical content, and this can be regarded as Chen Ruobai's method.

The biggest reliance must be that he can see the golden light, which is the reliance of his confidence to find gold.

"It's definitely not going to work here. Once you dig it, it will be a big rock." Hanging the small shovel on his waist, Chen Ruobai shook his head and sighed, "According to my expectation, this place should be a bend in the river. Why doesn't it look like this?"

Depressed, Chen Ruobai climbed onto the rock and was still observing carefully. He also had some basis for his judgment.

Some time ago, he was not idle. When Devi and Lesnar were mining, Chen Ruobai was also trying to catch up on some knowledge.

Forget about mechanical operations and the like, although they need to know a little bit, but Chen Ruobai knows that it is not his job.Finding gold mines is the most important thing, and he didn't lose everything.

Chen Ruobai was still reluctant to leave, mainly because he felt that his judgment was correct, and sometimes he was quite stubborn.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ruobai immediately took action, which can actually be judged.

If it is to find those ancient river channels buried on the surface, it must be more difficult. Chen Ruobai does not have that kind of technology and equipment now.But the ancient river channels exposed on the surface rely more on eyesight.

For example, the ancient river channels we are looking for now are actually the edges of the current river channels, and they can still be found.

"Based on the previous river course, this side must have turned a corner." Chen Ruobai analyzed while digging the soil, "The reason is very simple, that is, the capacity of the original river course is limited, and the water rushes out of a new river course, and the water flow is diverted. .”

It is not difficult for Chen Ruobai to find the ancient river channel, and he is also somewhat happy now.It's just that the ancient river channel has been found now, but it doesn't mean that gold has been found. There are some essential differences here.

Take your time, this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, for example, prepare to slowly dig out some prototypes of ancient river channels.At least dig out some general flow direction and scale, so that we can carefully look for traces of gold.

"At first, I said I made a lot of money, but it's not enough!" Chen Ruobai sat down on the ground, and said depressedly, "When the time comes to develop a remote sensing technology, then it will be a lot of money."

Now it is worth being happy to earn a little money, but if you earn a lot, you need to spend more.

This is all real, but Chen Ruobai also understands the truth that if there is no investment, there will be no return, and the pain can only be spent.

Observing the river sand, Chen Ruobai had some bad premonitions.According to some prototypes, this is probably a river bend, but it doesn't seem to be large in size, and the most important thing is that it is not deep enough.

The reason is actually very obvious. When you dig the surface soil, you can see the bottom layer of pebbles or coarse sand within half a meter.Judging by common sense, this is the deposition of the associated riverbed. The bottom layer is relatively large stones, and the upward transition is a sand layer or a silt layer.In the vertical section, the order of particle size is coarse at the bottom and fine at the top.

There is no depth at all, which naturally means that there must be no way to consider the value of mining.

Disappointment is certain, but it can't be said that I have suffered any blows. The main thing is that I get used to it and it's fine. The work of gold panning is actually like this.It takes countless failures to find some traces, and not every shovel can bring harvest.

Just like the gourd painting, since you can't find gold here, just change it to another place.As long as you find more ancient rivers, you may find gold.

According to Chicken Soup, although Chen Ruobai has failed a few times now, some wrong answers have been ruled out, which is one step closer to success.

Thinking about these things, Chen Ruobai was ready to set off again, which was also an extremely important thing.There must be no delay. This is Chen Ruobai's job. Only by finding gold can he make more money and develop better.

"Anyway, I have an annual income of hundreds of thousands or millions, but my image is too sloppy." Patting his chest with cold water, and getting used to the water temperature, Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "Taking a bath is still pure." Naturally, there is no other way."

There was really no other way, but it had to be done.It's not bad now, and the weather is warmer and I can take a bath.If it is winter, if it is early spring, the body is really dirty.

Da Zhuang happily jumped into the water bay. The dog planing is a natural skill, and he is happy now.

Chen Ruobai also exercised his muscles and bones, and plunged into the water. Although the water temperature was not particularly high, there was nothing wrong with it.Swimming a few laps happily is what Chen Ruobai is looking forward to most now.

Da Zhuang happily swam over, and shook his head in front of Chen Ruobai in disgust.The splashing of water droplets was really intolerable.But Chen Ruobai didn't have a better way, he couldn't push Da Zhuang into the water.

It definitely wasn't because of his swimming skills. Even if Chen Ruobai wasn't a white stripe in the waves or a little white dragon in the water, he was still an outstanding swimmer, and he would definitely be able to catch a strong man who can only dog-paddle in the water.

After swimming, Chen Ruobai went ashore, and quickly dried off the water and put on his clothes.

"We've been away for almost a week, and we don't have enough supplies." Patting Da Zhuang on the head, Chen Ruobai said, "It's time to go back. Although we didn't find anything this week, let's make persistent efforts next time."

Not being able to bring back any good news, not being able to find new gold mines, this must be somewhat disappointing.But Chen Ruobai also has some consciousness about this, try to find gold next time, it is impossible to find something every time.

Let's go back and try to find something next time. Don't count on this time now.

When Dewei and Lesnar saw Chen Ruobai, they were obviously looking forward to it.Because seeing that the current gold mine is about to be dug out, and there is only about a week of work left, this is definitely not enough.

Although they have made a fortune now, they are still looking forward to making more money. Naturally, they also hope to continue to find gold and continue to make a fortune.But now, Chen Ruobai obviously let them down a little bit.

There is no way, it is not easy to find gold, even if Chen Ruobai seems to be lucky and capable, it is obviously impossible to find gold every time he goes out, this is the truest portrayal.

Although it is only in the mine now, it is indeed relatively simple, but compared to the wilderness before, the life here is already very good.

"Nathan went to see me." Chen Ruobai chatted with his friends while drinking, "He seems to want to work with us, but I still hope to discuss this matter with you."

Lesnar said bluntly, "You are the boss, we are just working for you, and we respect your arrangement."

Looking at Lesnar, Chen Ruobai also said bluntly, "I plan to become a professional gold digger, and I hope my team is stable. So whether you two want to follow me and become a professional gold digger, I want to know the answer."

This is very important and needs to be asked now.
