Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 374
Although the equipment is not the most advanced, it is enough as long as it is sufficient. Some of Chen Ruobai's requirements are not too high sometimes.

Dick was also helping, installing the drilling machine on the transferred excavator.

Montgomery was proud and said loudly to Devi, "You see clearly, I am the most skilled operator in this team! Anyone can become a supervisor. That position only requires Robert's trust. Everyone can do it. ! But the operators can’t, especially the chief operator!”

Dick also smiled and helped his cousin stand up, "I also believe that technology cannot be taken away by others. You can find a job anywhere. But some positions may be replaced at any time. For example, he lost Robert's trust. , or Robert discovered someone who is better!"

Devi was not angry at these jokes, but still raised his middle finger to show his attitude.

Chen Ruobai watched happily. The atmosphere of his team has always been relatively good. Even if some people who were not in the same circle have joined now, overall there are not too many problems. This is something to be happy about.

Kessler laughed and joked, "I used to dislike it when the team was made up of people from the same place and community. It was difficult to manage. But now that I see our team, I like this composition very much." .”

"I think so too. Although sometimes such a model is difficult to manage, for our industry, unity is very important." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "This is very good now. There has been no conflict within our team. "

Basically, they are all people who know the basics, so naturally that is the best.

Of course, there is also the matter of mixing sand. Whether it is Henderson, Morgan, or Francisco, these new additions are not related to each other. They all have their own skills, and they have indeed added some fresh blood.

Although it cannot be said that the previous team was a family model, it was still more or less nepotism.But now it's different. It seems to be a little more professional, and the composition of the team is indeed more reasonable.

Montgomery drove the excavator and set off towards the predetermined location, while the others did whatever they were supposed to do.

Even everyone is concerned about the exploration of new mines, but they can't let go of their work.

Chen Ruobai set off in a Hummer. A relatively powerful off-road vehicle had some advantages.At least I don't care much about these rivers. If you need to rush over, just rush over.

That's not to say that only Hummers can do it. Previous modified cars can actually do it, but they may not be as powerful as the current Hummer. For more complex terrain, this Hummer does perform better.

The Hummer was faster after all, and Montgomery was still driving the excavator slowly over at this time.

When they arrived at the location, Chen Ruobai looked at Morgan and said, "Man, how do you feel about this place?"

"If a gold mine is found, I will fall in love with this place!" Morgan said with a straight face, looking very serious, "But I want to guarantee that even if a big gold mine is found here, we will make a lot of money here. But in everything I'm definitely going to poop here when the mining is done!"

It seems that the resentment is a bit deep. Morgan hates the previous prospecting work.

But it doesn't seem strange at all. It's normal to hate this place. The prospecting work is indeed too hard, so it's normal to want to take revenge to vent your emotions.

Chen Ruobai also said seriously, "I support this decision. If we leave Facai Creek, I may cry bitterly. I can make a lot of money here and I will fall in love with it. But considering our hard work, I You may also poop, I have to work harder here than you!"

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Morgan subconsciously wanted to refute. He felt that the team members must have suffered more.

Just thinking about it, Chen Ruobai's words are not unreasonable.The reason is that Chen Ruobai put in more effort in prospecting here. He failed again and again, not only traveling through mountains and rivers, but also having the experience of being trapped in the mountains by heavy rains. In fact, he also did a lot of physical work.

So whether you have feelings or hate this place very much, those are all normal emotions.

But it cannot be denied that in order to find gold mines here, no one will take it easy and everyone has made enough efforts.

It's not that easy to be successful, even if Chen Ruobai seems to be very successful.His efforts that are seen by everyone, or his efforts in private, are all real, and these are the keys to his success!
No one succeeds casually, that’s just a fact.

He and Morgan were just joking, laughing at themselves about the hard work they had done some time ago.As for things like vulgarity, they are not worth mentioning. Among this group of people, Kessler is probably the only one with a higher education level.

Sometimes it seems vulgar, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have no quality, or that you don't have enough virtue.

Chen Ruobai never took those things to heart. He was not a so-called elite, and he had no intention of being sanctimonious.

While chatting, the excavator driven by Montgomery was slowly approaching.Henderson was huddled in the cockpit, directing Montgomery to park the machine at a predetermined location.

Looking at the drilling machine on the excavator, Morgan smiled happily, "The happiest thing for me is that we have a new machine. We must find gold mines. I don't want to repeat the prospecting work again."

Chen Ruobai, who did not want to give face, poured cold water directly, "Don't worry, you will definitely repeat that kind of work again. There is no escaping it."

Morgan became anxious and asked in confusion, "We have found the gold mine and we have a drilling machine, why not make it easier?"

"No one knows how big this gold mine is now and how long it can be mined." Chen Ruobai explained with a smile, "And only when we have initially determined that the gold mine may exist can we use drills. Hole machine. It’s so inconvenient that sometimes you can’t just use the machine.”

Morgan was stunned for a moment and then said feebly, "So before using it, we need manpower to find some places?"

Chen Ruobai nodded. The drilling machine was only for convenience and efficiency. It was really impossible to carry it all over the mountains and fields.

Therefore, some work is unavoidable. It is really necessary to initially determine the existence of gold mines before using a drilling machine to further improve efficiency.As for before that, it’s all about manpower, and the Luoyang shovel should still be used when it’s time to use it!
Even though he was very depressed, Morgan could understand this truth and weakly accepted this reality.

These are probably the jobs that gold diggers have to accept, especially at Robert Mining Company.

Teams with high output are naturally different, not to mention that one of the meanings of Henderson and Morgan's presence in the mine is to assist Chen Ruobai in prospecting.So it is inevitable to be tired at certain times.After thinking about this, Morgan, although he was quite depressed, still accepted this reality.That's the job content, so there's nothing more to say. He couldn't bear to throw away such a high-paying income. He couldn't earn it elsewhere.

Even if you do something illegal, you may have higher income.It's just that those things are too risky, and he still has children to support, so he can't just go wrong.

Since you don’t have the ability to find a better job and make more money, then just do your current job in a down-to-earth manner.

Dick also came over at this time and said with great confidence, "I don't actually need to come here to help. I still have an excavator that needs maintenance."

"You'd better be here. As long as the excavator is not faulty, the prospecting work cannot be delayed." Chen Ruobai said immediately, "We will try to complete the preliminary survey of the gold mine in two or three days, and then we can arrange the next work. ”

In fact, no one has any opinions on this statement, and they think so in their hearts.

Prospecting work actually affects the progress of mining to a greater or lesser extent. This is an undeniable fact.

Although Henderson and Morgan are not the best operators, they both have certain operating experience and abilities.When there are no prospecting tasks, the gold mining team can ensure that the machine is always running during working hours.

After these two people were transferred, a large excavator was now transferred, and Dick, the 'chief engineer', also came to help.This immediately affected the mining progress, which is also very obvious.

But no one will complain about this. It is very important to seize the time to pan for gold, but the prospecting work cannot be delayed.

Only when we find a gold mine can we have a stable job. This is a top priority that cannot be delayed.

After all, everyone knows that the current gold mine can only support mining for about a year at most.Now if we don't find the gold mine early, the pressure will become greater and greater, and we will feel less and less at ease.

After all, judging from the current situation in Facai Creek, even if a gold mine is found, it will still take a certain amount of time to carry out some preliminary construction, which will naturally take a lot of time.

It can be as short as a few months. If it is longer, the construction period will exceed two or three months, which is relatively normal.No one can guarantee the size of the mine, and naturally no one can guarantee how long it will take to truly lay a solid foundation.

We cannot stop work and wait for the construction of the mine. We can only start construction directly and seamlessly connect after the construction of the mine is completed.

So even if it seems that some construction schedules have been delayed, we can only accept it. After all, even if we rush for construction schedules, it will not conflict with Chen Ruobai's work.

Chen Ruobai felt a little complacent now. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt proud.

I think he started his gold mining career alone with Da Zhuang, but now he has a team of nearly ten people.In the early days of establishment, everything was based on frugality, but now all kinds of equipment are basically complete and the performance is relatively powerful.

I think when my team first opened, there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns.
Now that I think about it, it really feels like a world away. Although it has only been a little over two years, those things in the past seem a bit long ago.The current development and current gains are also beyond our imagination at the beginning.

But all of this was made by myself, and all of this is thanks to magical encounters.

When Chen Ruobai was full of ambition and enthusiasm, Montgomery drove the excavator to the predetermined area.

Dick said nothing more at this time and waded directly to the middle of the river.Even though he looked confident just now, he didn't dare to be careless at work. He was about to drill holes for prospecting, so he naturally needed to be more careful.

Although I received some temporary training, it was still my first time to use a drilling machine myself, so I was still a little worried.If you look carefully, that's what it should be, and it's something that must be done.

Everyone is basically the same, they are all making final preparations.

Although I had received relatively optimistic news from Chen Ruobai before, I knew that there was probably a mine here.

However, more careful exploration is still needed to determine whether it is a rich mine or a small mine. The answer will be revealed soon.

Chen Ruobai couldn't help but feel a little nervous and worried at this time. It was really just such a shuddering thing.Even if I have a lot of speculations in my mind, but I haven't seen any substantial evidence, I still feel unsure.

Only when you see the ore, only when you see the gold, can you feel at ease.Only by confirming some data and scale through continuous drilling, could he have enough confidence to announce the scale of this gold mine, and then he could roughly estimate the output.

And it must be admitted that only when these things are determined can the next work be carried out in an orderly manner.

Montgomery got out of the cockpit and asked Chen Ruobai loudly, "Robert, are you sure you are here?"

Henderson and Morgan rolled their eyes. They thought that the simplest 'leading the way' must be no problem.But they can also understand, not only because Chen Ruobai is the boss, but also because everyone has blind trust in Chen Ruobai's prospecting ability.

Without Chen Ruobai's nod, no one can guarantee whether they will find a gold mine next, and they will have more or less confidence in their work.

Chen Ruobai laughed and responded, "That's it. Pay attention to the depth of drilling. Try a depth of five meters first. If you find bedrock, tell me as soon as possible."

Montgomery responded immediately, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on the numbers."

Then start working. Prospecting is very important. It may seem boring but it is also very interesting.

The most important thing is that the expectations in the heart can also make people nervous and worried. This is quite exciting!
