Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 224 Professionals
The main mine here seems to be in good condition, and the preliminary construction is basically in place, which also means that the entrance work can start at any time.This also gave Chen Ruobai more confidence. Even if the main mine may need more mining time, it will definitely not be able to fully mine this year, but it will be fine if the foundation is laid.

As for winter, there is actually no need to worry about illegal mining. Once winter comes, the permafrost layer is very thick, and excavators are helpless.As for using explosives and the like, if the pirates have such courage, it would be more cost-effective to rob the bank.

When you should be careful, you must be careful, but there is no need to be cautious, and the wind is threatening to scare the grass and trees, it is just to scare yourself.

The construction team left and headed for their dormitory, and Chen Ruobai and Morgan didn't need to worry about having no place to live.

Naturally, he didn't live in Chen Ruobai's cabin, he just followed the construction team.Anyway, the basic construction has been built, and there are still some simple work sheds, and even water and electricity.

But when the construction team leaves, they will definitely take the generator with them.But Chen Ruobai has nothing to worry about. His team also has generators, and it will be fine to move them here when the time comes, so there won't be too much inconvenience.

Morgan felt more at ease, the environment was better than imagined, at least he didn't need to eat or sleep in the open, and he didn't seem to need to watch the night.

He was completely misled by Chen Ruobai, thinking that he was going to explore the mines now, that he was going to investigate the situation of the mines in the wilderness where there were no villages or shops behind.I don't know that it is like this now, it is basically a fully built mine, and there is no need to worry about life problems at all, it is completely guaranteed.

This is also very good, at least it can be a lot easier. Morgan doesn't think this is a bad thing.Even if he was prepared to endure hardships when he went to Alaska to pan for gold, but if he could relax a bit, no one would think of making trouble for himself.

After waking up early, Chen Ruobai said directly to Morgan, "We don't need to worry about this side, we will continue to walk upstream."

Morgan pointed to the bay area upstream, "Go around the woods, right?"

"Yes." Chen Ruobai said simply and simply, "The channel of the stream is just upstream, go around that bend and continue walking forward. I have tried to use the drone to look around, and it is a relatively straight channel."

Morgan asked curiously, "Drones?"

"That's why I spent a lot of money!" Chen Ruobai immediately became proud, and said braggingly, "You also noticed that there is a signal here. There was no signal here before. But it's different now. We can ensure communication and use drone."

Morgan didn't say anything anymore, but he did feel that Chen Ruobai attached great importance to Fa Caixi, and he had indeed invested enough funds here.The construction here is not just as simple as having a simple road, but more of an all-round construction.

Communication is something that cannot be underestimated, and these things obviously cost more money.

These investments are obviously effective, and now we can see some clues, and they have indeed greatly improved efficiency.

The initial investment is worthwhile, and Chen Ruobai is very proud of it.These can also bring great convenience to his follow-up work. These can be regarded as sharpening knives and chopping firewood by mistake.

After tidying up briefly, Chen Ruobai set off with Da Zhuang, and Morgan naturally followed.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, even though it was less than one mile away from the upstream river bend.But it's not that easy to really walk.

The main reason is that the river is slippery, and there are mountains and bushes nearby, all of which have greatly affected Chen Ruobai's actions.Walking on mountain roads is several times more difficult than on flat roads.

Morgan said as he walked, "You may consider changing your shoes."

Chen Ruobai was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "My mountain shoes are very good, and their anti-skid performance is very good."

Morgan explained, "I know, but you pay too much attention to non-slip, and maybe it's waterproof. But it's not very wrapped, and you don't pay attention to the upper. You don't just have to pay attention to sharp things stabbing your feet. The soles of the feet should also be protected.”

Chen Ruobai was stunned for a moment, he felt that what Morgan said seemed reasonable.I didn't think there was a problem before, and I was even a little complacent, because Chen Ruobai felt that the money he spent was worth the money, and the performance of the shoes was really good.

But looking at it now, it seems that the professional equipment he spent a lot of money on is not the most suitable.

At least in terms of packaging, there are indeed some problems.

"Your ankles also need protection," Morgan continued. "I know mountain shoes are too thick, and it's inconvenient to wear them on flat ground. But here's the mountain, and you need shoes to protect your feet."

Chen Ruobai nodded again and again, obviously he very much agrees with this statement, because he has experienced all these things, so naturally he has more right to speak, he knows that Morgan's statement is not exaggerated.

Following these topics, Chen Ruobai asked, "If I want to buy an assault boat, do you have any suitable recommendations?"

"Fiberglass or wood is more suitable. I noticed that there will be some sharp stones in the river." Morgan said with a smile, "Although rubber assault boats are also very good, their draft is shallower, but they are not suitable here."

After thinking about it, Chen Ruobai thought it made sense, and said, "It's true, I don't have high requirements for assault boats. I only need them in some suitable waters, like now."

Morgan asked again, "How many people does your assault boat need to carry?"

Pointing to Morgan, then pointing to Da Zhuang who followed with his tongue sticking out, "The ideal situation is two people plus a dog, and maybe some simple salutes, that's my request."

Morgan felt that he still overestimated Chen Ruobai, and he immediately said, "Then we can choose the rubber assault boat, which is lighter in weight. We may need to lift it up when we encounter some situations that it cannot pass through."

Torrents and the like are actually not a big problem, as long as the horsepower is strong enough, this can be regarded as a kind of powerful brick flying.

But the reality is that when some small cut-offs and waterfalls are encountered, it is impossible to continue sailing, and manpower is needed at this time.If you use fiberglass or wood, you are asking for trouble for yourself.

"If I were you, I would consider some products that are better than military supplies." Morgan said enviously, "Those who like outdoor sports have very high expenditures, and their equipment will exceed some military supplies."

Chen Ruobai made sense after thinking about it, and said proudly, "Yes, I do have such a plan."

He doesn't pursue extreme sports, but Chen Ruobai also knows that some of his necessary expenses cannot be saved, and he doesn't intend to make do with it.

Because he can easily afford these expenditures, he doesn't need to deal with them, and he can pay attention to efficiency and labor saving.If you spend a little money, it's really not a big problem for him.

This is not bragging, but Chen Ruobai really has the ability to do this, and he is considered to be quite capable now.

While continuing to trek across mountains and rivers, Chen Ruobai asked, "I plan to learn to fly a plane after the gold rush season is over. Do you think it's suitable for me to fly a helicopter, or some small plane?"

Morgan thought about it carefully before suggesting, "I think a small plane is better for you. If you need to explore the mountains, the speed of a small plane is not fast, and it can guarantee you enough sights. A helicopter can In the landing area, small aircraft can also land."

This is of course an exaggeration. Small aircraft also need to take off and land at the airport. Under normal circumstances, helicopters can basically park and land in open spaces.It's just that in the mountains, it is too difficult for a helicopter to land, and it seems that there are no small aircrafts that are practical.

Chen Ruobai thought about it carefully, and said, "It seems that I really need to consider getting a pilot's license, will it be difficult?"

"I have an airplane license." Morgan smiled, a little proud, "Although many people here have a license, it is very difficult to get it, and you can't get it in a few months. "

Chen Ruobai was not happy, and said emphatically, "I started to learn some flying knowledge at the end of the gold rush season last year, although I paid more attention to helicopter driving at that time."

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Morgan gained some confidence, "It looks like you have a chance to get a license this year, you can choose a small twin-engine aircraft, as long as you don't pursue range and speed, you can easily purchase one. "

Air speed, it definitely doesn't need to be too fast, Chen Ruobai doesn't pursue supersonic speed at all now, what he needs is a small aircraft, not a fighter jet.The speed is too fast, and it is not conducive for him to observe some areas.

As for the voyage, Chen Ruobai certainly hopes to go a little further, not to mention crossing the Pacific Ocean, if he can fly directly from Seattle to Alaska, that would be great.However, the threshold for such an aircraft is a bit higher, and it may not be suitable for Chen Ruobai at this stage.

Then choose an ordinary entry-level small aircraft, which is enough for the time being, and there is no need to ask for one step.

Don't look at everyone's impression that Morgan is relatively taciturn, and there seems to be some distance and lack of common topics with everyone.

But that was only on the surface. If he found some interesting topics, he could still chat a little bit.Not to mention becoming a chatterbox, at least not becoming an audience with a weak sense of presence.

Chen Ruobai and Morgan seemed to be chatting speculatively, and they were chatting and hurrying at the same time, and it felt good.

In the past, I was prospecting alone, leading Da Zhuang to trek in the wilderness.But now it's different. Not only do I have an extra chat partner, but I can also give myself some good advice.

This is why Chen Ruobai needs an assistant, it is really difficult for one person to do all the things well.
