Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 323 A new journey, a new starting point
Seeing that Dewei is in a good state of mind, Chen Ruobai couldn't help joking, "It seems that our new vacation mode has been recognized to a certain extent. I believe you are more motivated to work now."

"Maybe, but before I was on vacation, I couldn't concentrate on my work." Devi was very frank, "It feels so good to be back in Seattle, I don't even want to go back to the mine. I belong to the bustling Big cities, not places like this, it looks so bad."

Montgomery, who was next to him, complained directly, "You can only belong to gas stations, forest farms, and mines, and these places can make you make money. You don't belong to big cities, everyone here is like this."

Although the truth is a bit hurtful, it is still a fact. These things are real situations.

Big cities do have a lot of convenience and attractions, but they may not be suitable for everyone.

"You haven't taken a vacation yet, it can only be next time." Devi didn't care, and said gloatingly, "Our team has too many people, and we have to queue up if we want to take a vacation."

Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "I don't know how you think about it, the schedule is arranged by you. If I were you, I would put myself at the last of the vacation, not the first to start the vacation. "

"Why is it the last one?" Devi became confident, "So you are the boss, and I am the on-site supervisor!"

It doesn't seem to be a problem to say that, and promoting style may not be acceptable here, and Devi doesn't intend to do that.

Although he was complaining about Dewei, Chen Ruobai was not unhappy at all.It's not a big deal if you don't develop your style, as long as you don't use the little power in your hands to mess around, then there's nothing to get on the line.

Beckoning to Morgan, Chen Ruobai asked, "How do you feel about your preparation?"

Morgan is very confident, "In order not to lose this job, I have been working hard and staying in shape."

Henderson also took the initiative to say, "I think so too. I believe that more money can be made here."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. When Morgan introduced the job before, Henderson was dubious.After all, Morgan has also struggled in the gold rush industry for several years, and the situation has been good and bad. Generally speaking, he has not earned much enviable income.

But after coming to the mine, the situation is different. Henderson doesn't think Morgan is exaggerating.Mines are washed every now and then, and the results of each washing are satisfactory. If this situation does not make money, it cannot be justified.

The enthusiasm for work has naturally increased a lot, because this is a promising career and can really make money.

In order not to mess up, in order to be able to have more life, Henderson naturally took some things more seriously.He also knew the main reason why he was able to come to the mine, and he knew exactly what he should do well.

Hearing what Henderson said, Chen Ruobai was naturally very happy, "That's fine, you all have to be ready, unless the weather tomorrow is particularly bad, otherwise we will start the formal prospecting work."

The weather shouldn't change too much all of a sudden, and Chen Ruobai has made enough preparations for prospecting.

This is obviously not just some equipment and material preparations, but also some 'soft power'. Checking the weather forecast is a compulsory course.

Morgan and Henderson naturally had no objections, that was their job.Dewei wanted to complain a little, the two of them are on vacation, and now they are going to explore the mines with Chen Ruobai.

It is really worth complaining that the mine that seemed to be well-staffed has now become short-staffed.But he also understands that even if he wants to complain, he can only accept this situation. He naturally knows the importance of some things and knows that some things are inevitable.

Since this is the case, other people should just work step by step and do what they should do well.

This matter is easy to say, but if you really want to do it well, it may not be so easy.

Morgan and Henderson took action, and they more or less knew that the prospecting work was likely to start during this time.The replenishment of various supplies has been in place one after another during this period of time. It can be said that everything is ready.

Chen Ruobai felt that he seemed a bit redundant, because even if some of the equipment purchased was for his purpose, some things were even proposed by him.But he may not be good at specific operations and so on.

For example, for assault boats, Morgan and Henderson have very good experience, and they have completed the assembly and debugging very well.

Da Zhuang just watched the excitement, standing on the bank like Chen Ruobai, watching the two retired veterans operate in the waterway upstream of the embankment.

Watching the excitement is all about watching the excitement, but Chen Ruobai also feels quite satisfied. With such two good players driving assault boats, it is possible to avoid capsizing as much as possible. This is naturally a big improvement. Worth the money' too.

While Henderson and the others were busy, Chen Ruobai asked, "How does the mine look like now?"

"I think it's very good, the ore sand layer is complete, and the harvest of each ore washing is good." Devi is very proud and confident, "Everything is within our expectations, and the temperature is constantly rising, and our work is also improving. It went well. I can guarantee that the area near the river will be exhausted before the flash flood erupts."

This is also good news. There is no way to control mountain torrents and the like, and the dam can only be said to provide a little insurance.But this is far from enough, and we need to make persistent efforts and make more preparations.

For example, mining the area near the river can be regarded as a buffer zone, which can reduce losses.

Hearing what Dewei said, Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "That's good, this is what I want to see."

These can indeed be regarded as one of Chen Ruobai's plans. The ideal situation is to have some more buffer zones, so that the mine has an extra insurance.Or because the benefits here are too great, and it really can't afford any losses.

The two were chatting about some things in the mine, whether it was the current production or some future plans, which needed to be constantly determined.After all, no matter the weather or the right place, there may be some changes.

So even with some previous plans, a series of changes may occur, which is also a common thing.

Dewei was full of confidence and continued to say to Chen Ruobai, "I think this year's work is mainly about flood control. There are no other challenges for us, as long as we follow the plan."

Chen Ruobai also thinks so, "I think so too. The situation in the mining area looks relatively simple, and mining ore sand is not too difficult. As long as we do a good job of flood control, our work will go smoothly."

This is not Chen Ruobai's own thinking, other members of the team also think so.

To put it simply, when this mine was first discovered, the only difficulty was entering the mountain, as long as the reason was opened up, it was enough.

The specific mining situation is actually not complicated, the site is relatively spacious, and there is no rough terrain.Such conditions are the dream of countless gold diggers, and they are very convenient for mining work.

Just need to do a good job of flood protection, these seem to be the most important.We have been preparing since last year, whether it is ice flood prevention, or the current spring flood prevention, or the next flash flood, etc., everything is to prevent the river from rising.

Even if the gold is found in the river, which is some opportunities, but these are also a challenge.

Chen Ruobai didn't need to worry about some things in the mine, so he started to pack up and prepare for the next trip into the mountains.

I woke up early in the morning and started to wash, and I also felt that the food had dropped.That guy Drake is on vacation, and the current logistics is naturally done by everyone in turns, which is relatively less 'professional'.

Although Decree's cooking skills are not very good, he is still better than the rest of the team.Now, as long as you can eat it, as long as you have enough calories, you can't ask for too much.

After eating and drinking, Morgan said directly to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, if you don't mind, can I see your package?"

Chen Ruobai probably understood, and was very speechless, "I have explored mines many times, so I know what to bring!"

"I know." Morgan said insincerely, "So I want to learn, and I want to know if there is room for improvement. You also know that I have very little prospecting experience, and I rarely sleep in the wilderness."

Henderson next to him also nodded approvingly, as if he really planned to learn from Chen Ruobai.As for the true thoughts in the heart, it is a bit difficult to say.

Chen Ruobai didn't feel embarrassed at all, and there was nothing wrong with asking two retired soldiers to check his salute.

The main reason is that this time there are more things to bring, and the time may be longer, so the necessary things must be brought.But there are some unnecessary things, there is no need to bring them with you for the time being, so as not to add some burden.

Morgan picked up a dagger and said to Chen Ruobai, "This is redundant, we all have enough weapons. If necessary, we can also lend you our weapons."

Chen Ruobai had no objection, but pointed to the multifunctional military shovel and said, "That needs to be kept, it's useful."

Morgan said, "Of course, since you brought it, we don't need to bring it. A shovel is enough. Our assault boat is not suitable for carrying their luggage, three people and a fat dog, and many salute."

This seems to be understandable. At this time, we need to reduce some supplies a little. If we really bring all the belongings, it will obviously not work.The three of them are also communicating, and they need to bring those reasonable supplies.

Chen Ruobai felt that a lot of things he had prepared were useless now, daggers, first aid kits, etc. were useless, and rifles were unnecessary, so a pistol was enough.Luoyang took the shovel and the drone, and the tent thought it was enough to bring a total of one.

This is really saving as much as you can. The feeling of continuously compressing the key points is like building an airplane. It does not need any extra weight to achieve a so-called perfect balance.

Although it is a bit difficult, fortunately, after serious discussion, a consensus has been reached.

Chen Ruobai thinks he is quite professional, but Morgan and Henderson are also laughing at him. Most of the things are quite professional, but they are also more expensive.It seems that for Chen Ruobai, expensive ones are the most suitable ones.As for Henderson and the others, they are professional enough and cost-effective enough, and they will never spend more money.

With a huge rucksack on their backs and Da Zhuang carrying a waterproof bag containing first aid medicine, Chen Ruobai and the others set off.

Henderson and the others looked like they were going out to fight, the dagger was strapped to their calves, and each of them was carrying a semi-automatic rifle. The pistol was hung on his waist like this, so that Chen Ruobai felt regretful, he should also carry a gun, This way the momentum is a little bit more.

And as far as the package is concerned, Henderson and the others have a small package on top of a large package, which seems to be more professional.

Forget it, there's nothing to say about it. In fact, everyone's luggage is not light. As long as you go out for prospecting for a long time, you naturally don't expect any ease and comfort. You can make do with it.

Putting the package on the assault boat, Henderson took the helm naturally, "Actually, I don't think it is necessary to bring all the supplies at once, but we are in a hurry. If we find a gold mine, we can continue to transport some supplies there. "

This is naturally a good solution, and it seems to be good to travel light now.

But Morgan, who has a little prospecting experience, said, "Of course I hope so, but here, you don't have a specific location, and it is difficult for us to guarantee that we have enough time to transport supplies. So it is very important to bring the necessary supplies. .”

Assault boats go upstream, this kind of assault boat has some advantages, even in shallow water areas.If you encounter some places that are really not suitable, it is very simple, and the weight of the assault boat is not too heavy.

The result is that three people take a boat in a place suitable for sailing, but when the river is blocked, three people carry the boat.

There is no way to do this. To sail in such waterways, one can only accept such results and arrangements.

Even if sometimes it makes the assault boat redundant, but more often than not, it can still reflect its value, and it can make Chen Ruobai and his group's journey much easier, so it's worth it.

After going upstream like this for about an hour, Chen Ruobai looked in front of him, "Here, a place we are familiar with!"

I am really familiar with it. I visited the mine last year, and this year, I have used drones to inspect it carefully many times.Not to mention knowing everything about the situation here, but I still know a little about the general situation.

Let's get ready, we're going to start the 'mountain climbing' prospecting.
