Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 40
Prospecting, this is Chen Ruobai's main job, and this is also his most important position in this team.Only by mastering the core technology can it be irreplaceable. After all, the current gold panning method does not actually have much gold content.

Not to mention that there are many professional gold diggers in Alaska, even some newcomers can enter this field with some simple equipment.The one looking for ore is the most powerful.

This is also the third 'gold mine' that Chen Ruobai has found. One time can be called luck, but two or three times, it can't be explained by luck. This is the best proof of strength.What's more, there is a bonanza for everyone to make a small fortune.

"You run by yourself, don't always try to be lazy!" Chen Ruobai just drove out the all-terrain vehicle, and Da Zhuang jumped on the vehicle, "I fed you a little fat, if you continue like this, you will really become Arras Pig!"

This is not a casual talk, Alaskan puppies will grow into chubby Alaskan pigs if they are not careful.Even when they are adults, they look bigger and stronger because of their large skeleton and thick hair.If you accidentally gain weight, Alaska will really become an Alaska pig.

Da Zhuang obviously didn't care about Chen Ruobai's good intentions, he adjusted his steps and squatted on the all-terrain vehicle.If you are tired from running all the way, you can take the car first, and then trot by yourself when you are bored in the car. This is the way Da Zhuang likes to go out.

Seeing that Da Zhuang didn't get in the oil and salt, Chen Ruobai could only smile and shook his head, then ignited the ignition, drove the all-terrain vehicle towards the river, and started a new exploration trip.

Chen Ruobai signed an agreement with the mine owner Dawson, but it doesn't mean that they can only explore ore in the river.Theoretically speaking, as long as it is Dawson's mine, Chen Ruobai can prospect and mine here. This kind of cooperation is also very common in Alaska.

Seeing Chen Ruobai set off, Montgomery just waved his hand from a distance, and continued to work while dragging the water pipe.Although mining has just started, it is still necessary to prepare for the next washing, so don't be idle.

"You said you insisted on being in the car, can it be comfortable here?" Chen Ruobai looked back at Da Zhuang, and said with disgust, "The river is full of potholes and stones, and it's not easy for me to balance the car. Next time I'll find a way to get a horse , but it seems that riding a horse is not very convenient, some areas cannot be climbed by people, let alone horses."

However, Chen Ruobai was still a little moved. If riding a horse is not easy, then he should make a detour.Getting a horse is fun too.

"If I really buy a horse, I still don't know how to ride a horse." Chen Ruobai suddenly became a little worried, "I never worked as a cowboy before, and I don't have the money to go to a racecourse to practice horseback riding. Let's forget about it for now. Let's talk about it after I buy it. At that time, it will be a BMW with a hero." .”

Da Zhuang didn't respond, he just tried to maintain his balance. The rugged river was very bumpy, and he was about to fall if he was not careful.

Da Zhuang, who was trying to persevere, made a change. When Chen Ruobai wanted to avoid the pile of rocks ahead, Da Zhuang jumped out of the car.Let’s run slowly, don’t worry about not being able to keep up. Naturally, it is because driving an all-terrain vehicle on the river is faster than walking and saves a little effort. The speed is not fast at all.

If there is sand in the downstream, it means that it was washed down from the upstream.Although it is possible that the gold has already been discovered, it is naturally possible that some fish that slipped through the net have not been discovered. This is something that is difficult to determine.

What Chen Ruobai should do is to search hard, maybe there will be some unexpected gains, maybe there will be surprises.

Looking at the straight river, Chen Ruobai didn't care about it.Flying the drone and staring at the feedback image, Chen Ruobai can see the direction of the river more clearly.Especially now that it is still a wet season, some clues can be seen.

"I seem to have seen it before, there are a few things, but not many." Chen Ruobai stared at the screen while talking to himself, "That little bay is really not enough to see, but I might have seen it when I first started panning for gold."

It's not that Chen Ruobai is inflated and doesn't like a small amount of gold, but that he needs to make some rational judgments.

Now if you use excavators and other equipment for ten ounces of gold, you really need to carefully weigh it.If you can still buy it by piggybacking, if it's just for such a little gold, it's not worth it, and the cost can't be covered.

Da Zhuang anxiously walked up and down beside Chen Ruobai's feet, wagging his tail vigorously, rubbing his body against Chen Ruobai's legs from time to time.

"What can you understand?" Although Chen Ruobai thought it was funny, he still squatted down, "Do you know about the drone? It's just that I didn't use it very well a few days ago, and I fell twice, which broke my heart."

Da Zhuang didn't understand this, he just stared at the small mobile phone screen.After watching it for a while, I lost interest, ran happily along the river, and ran to the water's edge in one breath, and then ran back.The little bit of strength on his body was consumed in this way, and he only knew how to play like crazy.

Chen Ruobai just smiled, let Da Zhuang continue to let himself go, it's no problem.

It took two days to search continuously along the river, and Chen Ruobai also slowly arrived at the river valley, which seems to be a bit deep in the mountains and old forests.

Looking at the lush trees on both sides of the river, Chen Ruobai shook his head slightly, "It's really hard to find here, even if there is gold, it may not be easy to mine. Once the water rises, the entire river will probably be flooded."

Looking at the time, Chen Ruobai also planned to go back home temporarily.Constantly searching and marking along the river, Chen Ruobai almost thought that he had become a geologist and was always conducting field surveys.

This feels a little strange, but it's not a big problem, the main reason is that Chen Ruobai is now panning for gold and can make money.As long as you can make money legally, it doesn't matter if you work a little harder or get tired.

Chen Ruobai, who was covered in sweat, returned to the camp, and the first thing he did was to walk towards the river with his underwear and shower gel.Just start taking a bath directly in the river. Many things just need to be simpler, just overcome a little.

Now this is already an improvement, although Chen Ruobai prefers to take a bath in warm water, but it is also summer now, so splashing in the river is also quite good.This is not winter swimming, but overall it is very good.

"Come here!" Chen Ruobai couldn't help shouting, "You really smell weird if you don't take a bath anymore!"

Da Zhuang also needs to be washed well. In fact, dogs generally have some body odor. Compared with German shepherds, Alaska is slightly better.But if you don't pay attention to hygiene, your body odor will be very strong. Keeping a dog doesn't mean just giving it food and drink.

While Chen Ruobai was bathing Da Zhuang, Dewei came over, "You can't leave here tomorrow, people from the Mining Bureau and Environmental Protection Bureau will come, and the mine owner will come too."

Chen Ruobai frowned slightly, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, "They're coming to check? It's okay, our work seems to be in place, and they can't find a reason to issue a ticket."

Devi joked, "Although you had a quarrel with the mine owner, he definitely doesn't want our mine to be shut down. He contacted us and gave us a lot of suggestions, which we checked carefully."

Chen Ruobai was slightly surprised, and also a little puzzled, "Could it be that he got angry after we had a fight last time? Instead of contacting me, contact you directly. It seems that he doesn't want to talk to me anymore."

"It's just because your phone has no signal." Devi explained, "The place you went is too remote, he can only contact us."

After saying this, Chen Ruobai naturally understood.There is a signal to contact the mine here, but if Chen Ruobai went to find the mine, he might end up in the deep mountains and old forests, so it is normal that he cannot be contacted.After all, not everyone has a number for satellite phones.

Although he was notified in advance, Chen Ruobai was still a little worried, "Are you sure there won't be any trouble here at the mine?"

Devi said confidently, "We have been mining according to the procedures, and with the reminder from the mine owner, we have made some preparations. We will definitely not cause trouble or receive a fine."

For this answer, Chen Ruobai was very satisfied, and he didn't want to cause any complications, and he didn't want to be punished by the administration.
