Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 294 A Smooth Start
Not only Chen Ruobai is looking forward to returning to Alaska and Facai Creek again, but other members of the team are also looking forward to and excited.The reason is also very simple, that is because there is a lot of gold here, and a lot of money can be made here, and these are the most important things.

But everyone is also very clear that the gold rush season has just begun, and there are still many things to do.There are a lot of things nowadays, especially the 'new arrival', which is still a bit difficult.

Although there is no need to worry about things in the living area, there are dormitories, etc., but these are far from enough.

For example, yesterday, the generator was not installed, so it was all black and white, and the room was not warm.

These are also things that can't be helped, and now I can only overcome them a little bit.In the next two or three days, the main task of the advance team is to clean up the mine, that is, to clean up some things in the living area.

These are also completely understandable to everyone. It is really not that easy to pan for gold, so the income seems to be pretty good, and it is all earned by everyone's hard work.

Putting on a thick down jacket, Chen Ruobai opened the door of the dormitory, and the cold wind greeted him.Even though he was wearing a down jacket, the biting cold wind hit his face directly, which was still a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing Chen Ruobai, Drake reminded loudly, "Wash up quickly, no one will wait for you."

It is really necessary to hurry up and wash up. If it gets cold earlier, it will obviously not taste good, so hurry up.

While eating breakfast, Chen Ruobai and his team members were replenishing energy in time.When you arrive at the mine, you need to do some physical work, especially now that the gold rush season has just started, and there are more things to do, which means they are busier, and high-calorie foods are more popular at this time.

Devi swallowed the last bite of the sandwich, and said, "I don't need to help here, right? Leave the living quarters to you, and I'll clear the place."

Dick also said directly, "We don't need to rush to install the washing machine now, it can be the last job."

This is indeed the case. At this stage, there is really no need to rush to assemble the washing machine immediately, and you can wait.Everyone knows this very well, and there is no problem with the mining machine being placed there now.

First use bulldozers and excavators to sort out the site and clear the thick snow. These are also one of the main tasks in the past two days. Everyone obviously has no opinions.

Looking at Francisco, Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "It looks like you will be very busy today, and you need to help prepare our living quarters. You don't need to worry about the wiring, but our generator needs to be adjusted immediately."

Francisco said confidently, "As long as there is no problem with the generator, as long as we have enough diesel, there will be no problem. I am not exaggerating. Anyone with common sense can do these jobs."

It doesn't seem to be a big problem to say that, and the logistics support is basically complete.I didn't get these done yesterday, simply because I didn't have enough time, not because I lacked some equipment.

Chen Ruobai still didn't take the initiative to arrange some work-related matters, and Dewei can do these things well.

Regarding Dewei's ability, Chen Ruobai was very relieved. In the past two gold rush seasons, Dewei was more responsible for the supervisory tasks of the mine, and these things were done relatively well.

Since this is the case, Chen Ruobai naturally feels more at ease, and he seems to have nothing to worry about.Just continue to trust Devi, so that he can relax a bit, and don't have to worry about the production problems of the mine.

Everyone started to get busy, and Chen Ruobai naturally couldn't be idle.Even if he doesn't seem to be directly involved in the management of some things now, it doesn't mean that he is a completely hands-off shopkeeper.

Although it has been a holiday, when they returned to the mine again, everyone seemed to be very adaptable, and there was no discomfort at all.

Chen Ruobai took the safety helmet and buckled it on naturally, this is also a habit that everyone who works in the mine has already formed.

Looking at the white snow in front of him, Chen Ruobai couldn't help being happy, it was a little funny, and he felt very much looking forward to it.

In fact, the original complete snow layer at the mine has been somewhat 'broken' at this moment, and the originally pure white snow has many stains.But that's all right, because soon it's going to look worse.

These snows have to be removed, and they will melt, which also means that the mine will return to its original appearance.It just takes time, and it's enough for the weather to be warmer.

Of course, some manpower may be needed here, and Chen Ruobai and the others are speeding up the melting of the snow.

Chen Ruobai looked at the snow beside the living quarters. During his time in Alaska, some of his ideas had changed, and some things had given him a relatively new understanding.

In fact, in a place as cold as Alaska, the snow is also freeze-dried.So these snowflakes don't seem to have much moisture, and in many cases the snow looks like flour.

And don't look at the snow layer that looks very thick now, the snow layer seems to be very complete.But when Chen Ruobai stomped his foot on the snow layer, he could see some clues.

For example, the thick snow seems to be relatively complete and solid, and it will spread out in a large area when you stomp it down.

And if you observe carefully, you can see that the snow in the lower layer is a little empty, forming a series of vertical ribs. These are really a proof that the snow is constantly melting.

All of this is actually very easy to understand. When the weather is cold, the snow continues to accumulate, so it looks very compact.But even if there is still thick snow, the snow has begun to melt.

The water formed by the melted snow on the upper layer penetrates downward, so the snow on the lower layer is also washed out into ridges.

For gold diggers like Chen Ruobai, they didn't wait until the snow had completely melted before entering the mine, nor did they have the basic conditions for gold panning until the snow had completely melted.

The snow cover is beginning to melt, which is an obvious signal, which also means that the permafrost is beginning to melt.Even if it is still a little difficult, but anyway, it is time to start work.

Chen Ruobai understands this truth, and other gold diggers also understand this truth.

Chen Ruobai's team was basically the first batch of people who came to Alaska to seek gold. Everyone knew that the first batch of people who came to Alaska would not be easy, but they had to do it to make money and work.

The current situation looks pretty good, so Chen Ruobai naturally feels more at ease.The thick snow is not a big problem at all, as long as the work can be carried out in an orderly manner, it is obviously enough.

Compared to other people in the team, Chen Ruobai seemed to be just a little bit on the fence, he was walking around to have a look.It seems that he doesn't need to do specific things, but that doesn't mean he can be idle.

Even if he has made a lot of money now, with Chen Ruobai's current appearance, if he wears a pedometer, he can definitely break through [-] steps easily, because this is simply not idle, young talents also need to work hard.

This is Chen Ruobai's point of view and attitude. He enjoys it better than anyone else when it is time to enjoy it, but when it comes to working hard, he will never slack off. This is Chen Ruobai's character and characteristics.

Walking around carefully, looking at some situations in the mine, I feel relatively at ease for the time being.

Chen Ruobai, who was in a good mood, walked around and trudged through the thick snow.This can be regarded as the dam upstream. Although there is still a layer of ice on the edge of the stream, it will not be too much trouble overall.

After climbing up the embankment, Chen Ruobai was naturally very satisfied.Speaking of it, the dyke is very complete, and it has withstood the test of the severe cold in Alaska, all of which naturally make people feel at ease.

But Chen Ruobai also understands that these are obviously not enough, because the real test has not yet come.

As the temperature continues to rise, the snow will continue to melt, and the river will begin to soar.

At that time, the ice floes and so on in the river will continue to accumulate.Most of the ice floods and the like are inevitable, and then will be the real test for the dam.

These are indeed a test for Chen Ruobai and the others, but there is no need to worry about these things yet.It is enough to be cautious. At that time, everyone will be ready to deal with these things.

Everyone is busy, and the things in the living area have been sorted out. Naturally, there is nothing to worry about if the water and electricity are all connected.The reason is that the foundation in the early stage is good, so now you can prepare to start working.

As for the shoveling of the snow in the mine, etc., it is also carried out in an orderly manner. A few high-power excavators are the best proof, which has indeed greatly improved work efficiency.

Chen Ruobai is quite satisfied and proud of this, his money has not been wasted, so now he can be regarded as initially seeing results.He should also feel more satisfied, this is just the beginning, the gold rush season has just begun.

Satisfied, Chen Ruobai watched everyone continue to be busy, and he also knew very well that the members of the team would also arrive one after another, and it was no secret that the work of the gold rush season was in full swing.

It should be like this, this is gold panning, these are also Chen Ruobai's work, and this is their life.

Chen Ruobai has some small pride. The new season of gold rush has begun, and it seems to be going smoothly.

That's good, for him, a smooth job is more important than anything else.
