Alaska Gold Rush
Chapter 404 Hardship and simplicity
Although traveling all the way is hard, these things are normal to Chen Ruobai and the others.Gold prospectors have to get used to trekking through mountains and rivers like this. There is nothing to say about this. When prospecting, you must be prepared to endure hardships.
Henderson may have learned some wilderness survival experience when he was in the army, but he learned more after retiring.Especially to survive in the wilderness, this needs to be learned carefully.
After carefully selecting a safe camping spot, the three people immediately began to get busy.
Even the boss Chen Ruobai would not care about his status at this moment. He must do something within his ability.
After stacking the collected firewood, Chen Ruobai said with emotion, "Once people are poor, they really don't care about anything. When I first entered this industry, I had no choice. I just brought a big body and some simple things." Dare to run into the wild if you have tools."
Morgan joked, "I heard Javier mention it and they all thought you were crazy."
Chen Ruobai nodded with deep understanding and said, "I also thought I was crazy. Now that I think about what I did back then, it was a particularly dangerous behavior. If I were asked to do this again, I would definitely choose to retreat without hesitation."
Henderson disagreed, "I think you might still do it because you had no choice at that time. Especially now that you realize how dangerous and lucky it was, you will be more careful."
There seems to be no problem in saying this. Although what I did at the beginning was a bit ignorant and fearless, I really couldn't be rational at that time.
With no job, no income, and no savings, it really drove me crazy.On the other hand, if you get a golden finger and are in a state of excitement, you will be even more unable to look at some things rationally.
So what Henderson said is very reasonable. If he were really asked to choose again, he would probably choose to continue to dig for gold.
I am feeling emotional here now, mostly because I am considered successful now, and I feel qualified to remember my past hard work.
Morgan said jokingly, "They talked about the situation of your work at the beginning. I didn't expect that your gold mining method was so primitive at the beginning."
Chen Ruobai was instantly proud, it was such an eventful time, "We didn't expect it, but it was very difficult for us at the beginning, and then it gradually got better. You are lucky, everything got better when you joined the team. "
Henderson said directly, "Although I admire your efforts during that time, if I had to choose, I would be the same as Javier and Ryan. We only endured hardship in the beginning, when we were in the army, or when I retired. I suffered more when teaching some students how to survive outdoors, but that didn't give me a higher salary."
Morgan also nodded. He naturally agreed with this statement, but this is probably fate. There are some things that you really can't envy. Who doesn't have such a good friend who is so powerful!
Everyone is somewhat aware of the contributions of Devi and Leissner. We know that they are the veterans who accompanied Chen Ruobai to start his own business.But I have to admit that those two guys were lucky. After a period of hardship, things became clear. They can now enjoy a better life relying on those achievements.
Envy is for sure, but when it comes to jealousy, it's a bit out of the question.
The three of them were talking and laughing. It was a small reminiscence of bitterness and sweetness, which was naturally motivated by feelings.
Don't look at the fact that Chen Ruobai may look like an enviable young talent outside now. He can live in a villa and drive a sports car. He doesn't care much about price when it comes to consumption, and he can go to some high-end restaurants and so on.
But now he can only bake potatoes over a campfire in the wilderness, and he can only lie in a tent wrapped in a sleeping bag at night.
However, many people may not see this side, and they may not care about such things at all. They cannot see the sacrifices, and can only see the glamorous side of Chen Ruobai.
There's no way around it. Chen Ruobai obviously can't control what others want to see, and he doesn't care what those unimportant people think. He just needs to work hard and down-to-earth.
After eating and drinking, despite the darkness outside, I occasionally heard the sound of branches and leaves when the wind blew, or the sounds of animals in the distance.But it's still less than seven o'clock, and people in some big cities haven't started their real nightlife yet.
Henderson then said, "Robert doesn't have to keep vigil, you can sleep until dawn."
Morgan had no objection, "You stay up for half the night, and I'll stay up for the rest. In fact, I wanted to stay up for the rest of the night, but you spoke first."
Henderson immediately became proud. He would rather stay up all the time now. Being woken up while he was sleeping soundly would be the most uncomfortable thing.
Chen Ruobai didn't say anything at this time, so it was the best thing if he didn't need to keep vigil.
This may be preferential treatment for the boss, or it may be because General Hengha knows that he cannot help much with the prospecting matter.
Chen Ruobai got into the tent with peace of mind and prepared to have a good rest. This day's trek was also quite tiring.Most of the roads are carried out by Zodiac, but even if the water level rises a little, some river sections still require pushing the Zodiac, which is also physical work.
When it comes to enjoying, Chen Ruobai can be said to be very picky.But when it is time to endure hardship, he will not complain.I slept until dawn and then got out of the tent.
Morgan dozed in front of the fire. When he saw Chen Ruobai getting up, he said, "I have boiled hot water."
Chen Ruobai nodded and started to wash up. Although he was still a little listless and unkempt, he felt refreshed at least.
Henderson also got up. After washing, he ate bread, bacon, and drank coffee. Drinking coffee early in the morning is normal for these people. They don't think it is unhealthy. This is their way of life. .
Chen Ruobai can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, and there is really no room for being picky now. The actual situation is that people will make do with it, and there is no way to pay attention to it, so he can only work hard to overcome it.
After eating and drinking, and taking a short rest, Morgan asked, "Will you continue heading upstream today?"
Chen Ruobai nodded affirmatively and said, "We have no other choice."
Morgan and Henderson didn't complain. In their opinion, prospecting work was just like that, so there was no room for complaint.Then just continue taking the boat upstream, although they don't understand some of the tips of prospecting.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Chen Ruobai can understand, he only needs to do a good job of execution.As long as the boss can find clues, then this prospecting is not a loss.The assault boat set off again, and Chen Ruobai and the others once again embarked on the road of prospecting and looking for gold.You have to work hard, and you must not be complacent just because you have achieved some small results. That is not an excellent quality that you should have.
What's more, Chen Ruobai knows very well that even if he is not a very ambitious person, he still knows how to be satisfied, but his current career is nothing.I don’t have financial freedom yet, and I still can’t afford many of the things I want.
It can only be said that if you are relatively wealthy, you need to continue to work hard to make money. This is his simple understanding.
Chen Ruobai looked at the water from time to time, observing carefully. Most of the time, he found nothing, but occasionally he found something.And those little discoveries gave him strong confidence and gave him more self-confidence.
Because there was basically not much gold along the way, especially in the areas he had explored before, he once suspected that there might be no gold further upstream.
But now in a brand new area, in the fast-flowing river, you can occasionally see sporadic golden light flowing downwards with the river water.
As he continued to advance, he could also see that the golden light appeared more regularly, which meant that there was probably a 'stable output source' further upstream, where a lot of gold was washed into the river.
These are valuable discoveries, these are brand-new cognitions, and some smiles appear on Chen Ruobai's face unconsciously.He considered this prospecting trip valuable, and finding clues was a success.
At the same time, he was also a little annoyed. If he had gone a little further in the previous prospecting last year and this year, he might have made some discoveries, and he would not have been disappointed again and again, or even made mistakes in judgment. Search the mountains on both sides.
What a waste of time it has been, and a lot of time and energy wasted.
But then he thought about it, if it hadn't been for those mistakes, he wouldn't have discovered the new mine. It was an out-and-out rich mine.
If you think about it this way, it is not a complete failure. This is also a true manifestation of a blessing in disguise.
Although he didn't know what Chen Ruobai discovered, he was indeed confused.But seeing Chen Ruobai's very happy look, Morgan and Henderson felt happy. Simply because they felt that they must have found some clues.
They don't understand the matter of prospecting. It is indeed not their area of expertise. The answer is that as long as the boss can find gold, it is enough. When the boss eats big chunks of meat, they can drink some soup.
Seeing Chen Ruobai recording again, Morgan asked, "Robert, what are you recording?"
Chen Ruobai said vaguely, "The speed and location of the water flow, these are key information."
Henderson, who was at the helm, said in confusion, "I didn't see any valuable clues. I even suspected that I was out exploring or camping this time. I couldn't find any valuable information at all."
Chen Ruobai joked, "This is why you can only work for me, and I am the boss. You think your current work is unnecessary, and you think you have not gained valuable clues, but I think we have made some discoveries."
This is not to deceive General Hengha, but Chen Ruobai is telling the truth. He has indeed made some discoveries.
Since gold was discovered in Facai Creek, he has always believed that there must be gold mines upstream, and there must be more gold.
Although no clues were found in the previous explorations, there was a breakthrough in the new mine.But those are not all that Chen Ruobai thought, especially now that they have arrived at a new section of the river, it feels like another village has a bright future.
In the eyes of Henderson and Morgan, the water level of Fortune Creek is now rising sharply, and they can't see anything else.After Chen Ruobai experienced nothing for a while, he occasionally found a little golden light in the rapid river.
This gets interesting. The missing gold appears again, which means there must be gold upstream.This naturally means that Facai Creek still has potential that can be tapped. There must be gold in the upper reaches, but it has not been found yet.
It actually doesn't matter if you don't find it. Keep searching hard and maybe you will find something.
The source of this gold has not yet been found. Chen Ruobai certainly takes this matter to heart, but he is not particularly anxious.
Because there is really no rush for these things, we can only handle the current things in a down-to-earth manner.
However, Chen Ruobai was now interested in where the gold went. He felt that he had probably found some clues about gold mines. He might be able to find another gold mine.
The reason is very simple. It is simply that in the river all the way upstream, the gold washed down from the upstream suddenly disappeared. Only a very small amount was washed into the gold mine area currently being mined, or in the new mine. There.
According to the golden light discovered by Chen Ruobai, according to his judgment, the quantity obviously did not match.It can only be said that it was 'trapped' by Facai Creek, and most of the gold suddenly disappeared at a certain location.
Finding these disappeared golds is his main task now. He also has some guesses in his mind and can slightly delineate the area. The next step is to search carefully and continue to narrow the scope.
These can be regarded as his advantages. He can see the golden light that others cannot see. Others have no way of knowing where the gold appears from, nor where they suddenly disappear, let alone where they are. quantity.
But Chen Ruobai knew that a certain amount of gold had been washed down the upper reaches in the current section of the river.There is no need to think too much about the downstream, because there are almost no more clues and no more golden light.
In any case, now that some clues have been found, it is very worthwhile for Chen Ruobai. This trip to prospecting is valuable, and this time it is indeed exciting.
Continue to move forward by boat and carefully collect more clues. This is also a series of preparations for the next comprehensive prospecting.
We can't make the mistakes we made before again. We should collect some information now to make preparations, so that we can fight a more confident battle and find more gold mines.
As a gold digger, no one thinks there is too much gold.Even if there is still a new mine that has not yet been mined, Chen Ruobai will not slow down the pace of prospecting. He will expand production and dig out more gold! (End of chapter)
