Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 379 Changes
The prospecting work continues, and everything seems to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

Montgomery is responsible for driving the excavator to continuously drill holes, while Morgan and Henderson are tasked with continuously taking out some ore sand as samples.

Chen Ruobai's task is very simple, that is, to carefully study these mineral sand samples, and everyone performs their duties.

Through these constant observations and surveys, everyone has become more and more certain about the prototype of this new mine.

The area surveyed so far is actually less than two acres, which is almost twelve acres of land.Such an area is indeed not large for a mine, but the depth of the ore sand layer measured is satisfactory.

The deepest point has exceeded the depth of ten meters, and there are many such deep areas and they last for a very long time.This naturally means that the amount of mineral sand that can be mined is amazing, and the potential and value are reflected.

Watching Chen Ruobai leave with the Luoyang shovel, Morgan joked, "It looks like Robert is angry, and he wants to find out why."

Henderson glanced at it and said, "I can understand that he has always been successful, and he has become a gold digger respected by everyone. But this time he almost made a mistake. There must be a gap in his heart. .”

This is not just a view held by Henderson and Morgan, but in fact by many others.These seem to be reasons to tease him. After all, there are fewer and fewer reasons to laugh at Chen Ruobai.

The two mines were almost identical and so close to each other. Even Chen Ruobai couldn't find them under such circumstances. This was really a big loss and it simply didn't seem like something he could do.

Although a gold mine has been found now and it seems to have been repaired, we have to admit that some of the previous small mistakes have become reasons for ridicule.

"Do you think we have a chance to find the main mine?" Morgan asked while collecting the ore, "We all know that being able to find this mine is not an accident, it is Robert's strength."

Henderson also understands this truth. Everyone is teasing him, but he still admires Chen Ruobai's strength.

Being able to continuously find gold mines is the best proof of strength, and there is no need for any other unnecessary explanations.

Morgan continued, "He had previously judged that there must be gold mines upstream. Although the distance was a little closer, the facts proved that his judgment was correct. There are indeed gold mines upstream, and it seems to be a very rich ore."

Henderson thought about it carefully and said, "I think there must be big mines upstream. This is Alaska, and there must be a lot of gold here. This is a truth that everyone knows."

There’s nothing wrong with saying that, there’s gold in Alaska, it’s really no secret.

Especially since it belongs to the Yukon Territory in a broad sense, Fairbanks is a city that grew up due to the gold rush a hundred years ago.At that time, gold was discovered in rivers. This is something that many people know.

There is no need for many people to delve into where this gold comes from, but in the eyes of some gold diggers, there is probably a main mine upstream of the rich mines.But no one knows whether the main mine is buried deep or whether it has been mined.

"I think he will definitely continue to prospect for minerals upstream." Looking at the river, Morgan said, "If I make millions here, I will definitely continue to search, and I will not give up."

Henderson thought for a while before speaking, "Now the value created for him here is not just a few million, he has the opportunity to earn more than 1000 million here! There is no pressure, this is a real fortune stream!" "

Morgan made sense when he thought about it. With these two rich mines in hand, a wealth of tens of millions would really not put much pressure on him.What's more, a small mine was mined downstream last year, which also created a considerable amount of wealth for Chen Ruobai.

Fortune Creek, it’s true to its name, everyone can make money here.

It’s just that Chen Ruobai, the boss, makes the most money. Who makes him the boss? Who makes him the most outstanding? Don’t be convinced!
Chen Ruobai didn't know what his second general Heng Ha was muttering. He was just carrying the Luoyang shovel and walking downstream. He had to figure out some things, otherwise he would always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The exploration situation of the new mine has already been revealed, and it is basically unlikely that any major changes will occur.This also means that you have more time to do things that interest you.

This is naturally part of the job, which is to accumulate experience and accumulate some knowledge for the subsequent prospecting work.This is also to make a summary for future prospecting and to avoid similar situations from happening again.

This is not just about being interested, not just to satisfy your curiosity, it is also part of growing up.

Chen Ruobai really wanted to know what happened and what kind of differences there would be here.

Anyway, some gold mines have been found now. Under such circumstances, I can naturally do things that I am more interested in, and there is no need to worry about tasks at all.

This can probably be regarded as a change in mentality. In the past, I always thought about making more money and always felt that I should work harder.But things are different now. Although we are not yet financially free, we are still able to live without worries about food and clothing.

At this time, it’s time to make life more interesting and calm, and I feel I have a little more confidence.

When he reached the area where the gold disappeared, Chen Ruobai laughed at himself, "You can really find this place by walking a few more steps, and then go around in a big circle and come back here. It's really a joke, I made a scene. Big joke!”

Chen Ruobai really felt that way. Not only was it a big joke, the most important thing was that he wasted nearly a year and invested a lot of manpower and financial resources. Thinking about this, it is naturally even more upsetting.

If you don't figure things out, you probably won't feel at ease when you sleep, and you'll definitely feel unhappy.

Chen Ruobai, who was holding the Luoyang shovel, was not polite. He really wanted to find out what happened.Only by knowing the answer can he sleep peacefully. Only by knowing the answer can he smooth over the knots in his heart and sleep peacefully.

The Luoyang shovel is the best tool now. Sometimes, in order to satisfy your curiosity, you don't have to worry about some physical fatigue.Physical fatigue is nothing, but if there is some mental fatigue, that is truly a big deal.

"The gold is buried relatively shallowly in other places. Logically speaking, there must be some gold here, and I can find it." Chen Ruobai was still mumbling to himself, waving the Luoyang shovel in his hand, "That's it. It’s weird, I couldn’t find gold in these places, I feel uncomfortable!” These are really not a joke, I’m still confused now, it’s really hard to understand.

The two mines found so far are exactly the same. Not to mention that they are inexplicably separated, just that the surface ore is shallower, about half a meter deep, which can explain a lot of problems.

But the problem is that there seems to be no gold in these areas, and they seem to disappear suddenly, and even continue for some distance.This is the reason why Chen Ruobai failed to find the gold mine before, and this is also the biggest doubt in his heart now.

As a seemingly experienced gold digger, tools like the Luoyang shovel couldn't be easier for Chen Ruobai to use, and he can now use them easily.

Every time he uses the Luoyang shovel and every survey, he can know what angle to choose, how to save more time and effort, how to be more efficient, and more targeted.

The depth of about half a meter has been reached, but Chen Ruobai saw no sign of gold here at all.

But after carefully observing the mineral sands, they found that these were relatively standard river sands, which made Chen Ruobai even more confused.

Although it is only about half a meter deep, gold may not necessarily be found in other places.Just look at these river sands. In fact, they are almost exactly the same as the ore sands in the mines.

This also shows that these are originally integrated, so there is no reason for some faults to suddenly appear.So seeing this scene, Chen Ruobai naturally became more puzzled. He had to figure out what was going on here.

If I don't understand these things, I really can't feel at ease now, and I will definitely become more entangled.

Put aside some of the little doubts in his heart and continue drilling hard with the Luoyang shovel. These are what he should do.

The answer to the mystery will be revealed soon. There is no need to worry at all now. I still have some confidence in myself.What kind of situation is here is naturally something that does not need to be doubted.

Continuing to work hard at prospecting, the depth is also continuously extending, and the river sand temporarily taken out has not changed much.Looking at these mineral sands, Chen Ruobai's expression became even weirder.

Speaking of which, it means it is river sand. If there is some gold in it, it is ore sand, which is exactly the same as those two mines.

Suddenly Chen Ruobai felt something was wrong. The Luoyang shovel seemed to have hit a hard object.

This kind of thing is also common. When prospecting in other places, sometimes the shovel will hit the stone. Just change the place and continue digging. Just change the place and continue drilling. It is not a big deal.

It is almost two meters away from the first cave. It is said that this distance should be no problem. There is no need to worry about being blocked by the same big rock. This is Chen Ruobai's judgment at the moment.

Just when it reached a depth of one meter, it encountered a rock again, and the Luoyang shovel could no longer continue drilling downward.

At this moment, Chen Ruobai couldn't help but murmur, and there was indeed some confusion in his heart.

Could it be that we encountered some big rock?
This is a river, so it wouldn't be surprising if we encounter some boulders.If you change the place and keep digging, you will probably know the answer. There can't be rocks everywhere!
After making such a judgment, Chen Ruobai continued to act. He felt that he had to study it carefully.

After walking just a few more meters, Chen Ruobai started drilling again.His expression soon froze slightly, because this time he encountered the stone again, still at a depth of about one meter, and he still couldn't continue drilling downwards.

This big rock was much bigger than expected. This was why he had been unable to find gold mines before.Maybe it's these big rocks that are working against it, making it difficult for the mineral sand to deposit here.

Maybe I already have some answers in my mind, and what I need to do next is probably to verify some of my guesses.

Chen Ruobai, who had some guesses in his mind, continued to drill. He seemed to be drilling holes at different locations.

But even if he is constantly changing locations for prospecting, the frequency of changing locations can be said to be very high.But such constant changes of location can also mean that this is a constant setback in the process of prospecting.

The area of ​​​​this big boulder is somewhat beyond imagination. This is not a boulder in a river or a pile of rocks.

In fact, Chen Ruobai did consider the pile of rocks at the beginning, but if it was a pile of rocks, it would be different in size, and there would be some bulges or depressions.

But now it's different. Chen Ruobai has discovered something through the drilling situation.For example, these depths are basically about one meter, which means that this so-called big stone is likely to be one piece.

If nothing else happens, this is most likely a bedrock, and this is an out-and-out rock formation.

With such guesses and judgments, Chen Ruobai seemed to have a good idea, and seemed to feel that some of his previous 'mistakes' were justified and there was no need to make a fuss.

It is probably such a 'middle area' that is strangely a bedrock layer. They suddenly bulge, making it impossible to deposit more mineral sand here. It can be said that there is no gold in this area.

If you have some guesses in your mind, you need to confirm your guesses. This doesn't seem to be difficult.

These things are no longer difficult for him. Now that he almost knows the answer, it will be a little easier to find clues accordingly.

Just do what you should do. This is no problem for Chen Ruobai. This is what he should do. This is what he should do. There is nothing to say at all.

What's more, what he is doing now is not just work, these are also things that he is interested in, which makes it even more meaningful. For him, these things are things that must be done!
