Alaska Gold Rush

Some of the things that Chen Ruobai and Henderson were worried about did not appear. Although they were now in the wilderness, especially Alaska, which has rich wildlife resources, this did not mean that they would inevitably encounter some wild animals.

Although the quality of sleep was not very good, after taking turns to watch the night, both Chen Ruobai and Henderson were able to ensure a certain amount of rest, so there was nothing to worry about in terms of physical strength.

After washing up, Chen Ruobai was eating breakfast and felt that the morning in Alaska was still a little cold.

Let's overcome it a little bit. There is obviously no better way at this time, because there is really no choice.

There are actually some benefits to being in the mountains. For example, some of the air here is indeed fresher than in the city. This is indeed a fact. It's nice to breathe the fresh air early in the morning.

Henderson stretched and said to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, our task today is to find more clues here?"

Chen Ruobai observed the surroundings and did not hide his thoughts, "Yes, I think the possibility of finding some clues here is relatively high. We are going to the bottom of the cliff now. It might be good there."

There are mountains on both sides, and Chen Ruobai and the others are in the valley now. As for the exploration area this time, it was actually the open areas in the valley. In his opinion, there was a certain probability of finding gold in these places.

Henderson naturally has no objections. When it comes to doing some strenuous work, it is not difficult for him. These are also things he thinks he is good at.

But in terms of technical work, there is some reluctance. It doesn't matter if he just uses Luoyang to shovel him down. He has some experience now. However, it is very difficult for Henderson to choose prospecting sites and so on during prospecting. It is not his area of ​​expertise.

In fact, it's not just Henderson who feels this way, Morgan is not much better either. Even though they had followed Chen Ruobai in prospecting many times, they had once thought about stealing from him, mastering some prospecting techniques, etc.

Although I am quite satisfied with my job and income at Robert Mining Company, who hasn’t thought about making progress yet? Who doesn’t want to earn more money?

Look at Chen Ruobai's income, look at the villas and luxury cars he bought without any pressure, yachts, business jets, etc. These are no longer stressful things for him. It's not at all. Envy is also impossible.

Not to mention Henderson and Morgan, even people like Devi and Lesnar still want to go it alone.

After all, even if the income in Robert Mining Company is good, slightly better than that of ordinary white-collar workers and middle-class people, it is essentially working for others. If you want to make a fortune and make a lot of money, you still have to consider being your own boss. more income.

This kind of situation is also common in Alaska, and many gold diggers are like this. After accumulating a certain amount of experience and connections, etc., they will also consider setting up their own business, and some people do develop quite well.

This is not a betrayal. This is normal career planning and development. It is simply a way for people to move towards higher places. Naturally, these are not worthy of criticism.

It's just that people like Devi and Henderson are considered sensible. Although they have been working with Chen Ruobai and can get close contact and learn from each other, if they really want to say that they have mastered the secret of making a fortune, these people now think that it is true. No mastery.

Therefore, before you feel that you have learned something, it is better to work hard in a down-to-earth manner. Instead of being lofty and lofty, you still need to have some self-knowledge.

After simply arranging some work, Chen Ruobai and Henderson will start to take action. Working well is what they should do. There is no way to relax next. They have to work hard to have the opportunity to make discoveries.

The drone was released again, and all Chen Ruobai needed to do was observe carefully. If you want to find a gold mine, you really need to adapt to local conditions. Only by knowing more about the terrain can you have a chance to get close to the gold mine.

Henderson looked at the screen, pointed forward and said, "Look here, I think there is a greater chance of gold here."

Chen Ruobai looked at Henderson and asked with a smile, "Tell me about some of your evidence. I think you have made great progress and are beginning to have some understanding and judgment of your own."

Henderson said with great certainty, "The basis of my judgment is very simple. I just think that if this area was once a big river, that would be the best bay. And according to the location of the river, it should be an inner bay, which is more suitable for gold." Sediment.”

Hearing what Henderson said, Chen Ruobai praised and said, "It seems that you have made great progress. I believe that you can achieve success even if you lead a team by yourself. You have mastered the true meaning of prospecting!"

Henderson would not believe these claims. He had some self-awareness. He knew that Chen Ruobai's praises were somewhat exaggerated.

Just with my little experience and eyesight, not to mention some experienced gold diggers, even people who have been in the industry for two or three years can judge these things without much difficulty.

If you were to pull together a team to pan for gold based on such knowledge, then there is no need to doubt anything. This will definitely end in failure, and there is no suspense at all.

After some small jokes, Chen Ruobai and Henderson took action. They were going to see if the area was valuable and whether there was gold there.

Not only is Henderson optimistic about that location, but Chen Ruobai is also very optimistic about it. If you can find gold there, you don't have to be surprised at all. It is definitely a geomantic treasure land and a treasure land that produces gold.

When he arrived at the location, Chen Ruobai frowned. He felt that he might be a little optimistic, and the current situation was not as good as he imagined.

Henderson also hesitated a little, although this place looked more like the inner bay of a big river. It's just that some of the exposed stones are relatively large. According to some natural laws, if this is a big river, it must also flow very fast.

If this is the case, it basically means that gold cannot be deposited. If gold really has to be deposited, it will basically be in a location where the river flows relatively gently, so that it can be deposited.

Henderson looked at Chen Ruobai and said comfortingly, "I think there is still a chance. Maybe they just slipped down, but there are some big rocks on the surface."

Chen Ruobai was speechless. He stared at Henderson and asked, "Do you really think so? If this is your view, I take back my previous words. You should continue to study prospecting with me. If you go prospecting by yourself , will definitely go bankrupt soon!”    Henderson laughed, although Chen Ruobai’s words were a bit rude. But that's nothing to worry about at all. The actual situation is that the surface of this area looks a bit like a gold mine.

Even if you look carefully, you will not be optimistic about this area. These exposed large rocks will make gold diggers retreat. It does not look like there is more gold here.

Chen Ruobai was observing carefully. He wanted to see if he could find the golden light. If he really saw the golden light, then he would be willing to conduct in-depth research in this seemingly less than ideal place, because it would still have a certain reference value.

However, Chen Ruobai, who observed carefully, soon became disappointed. The main reason was that he really didn't see anything. There seemed to be no sign of gold here.

Even though there may be less exposed gold sand, there is no golden light in this area. This naturally greatly dampens Chen Ruobai's enthusiasm. He really began to doubt this area.

Maybe you really need to change a place and take another look. The previously selected area doesn't look like gold. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, or if you don't accept the result.

If you choose not to hit the wall and never look back, that's not impossible. But then it will be a waste of a lot of time and effort, which is obviously not very cost-effective. Such a loss-making transaction cannot be done.

Chen Ruobai is a decisive person. Since he knows that it is unlikely to find gold here, he naturally gives up decisively.

This is not about quitting despite difficulties, it is simply about working more efficiently. Learning to give up is also a sign of maturity.

"We found the wrong location, and now we need to change to another place." Chen Ruobai looked at Henderson and said helplessly, "Keep moving forward, or go to the opposite side, there may be some changes."

Henderson understood what Chen Ruobai meant and joked, "The inner bay we thought might be the outer bay. Obviously we made a mistake in our judgment. But the real inner bay seems to have disappeared and become part of the mountain."

Chen Ruobai nodded slightly, agreeing with Henderson's statement. Judging from what we see now, the reality is probably the same, that is, the inner bay becomes an outer bay.

Since this is the case, then naturally some small changes need to be made. There will be no giving up in the true sense. At most, it is just a slight change in the prospecting plan, which is just a matter of taking a few more steps, a piece of cake!

Chen Ruobai and Henderson took action again. Prospecting work is like this. There will always be some emergencies, and there will always be some things that are slightly beyond control and expectations.

If you really encounter this kind of situation, you will naturally have to adjust your plan in time. Sometimes persistence will not bring more help.

While walking, Chen Ruobai was observing, "If a gold mine is found here, it will be of great help to the mining work. The site is wide enough."

"I think if you mine here, you need to avoid flash floods in summer." Henderson also expressed some of his thoughts. "If there is a flash flood, the mine will be washed away. I am more worried about the safety of personnel and equipment."

Chen Ruobai nodded. He naturally recognized Henderson's statement. This area is suitable for mining, but this is still a valley. If there is a flash flood or the like, it will naturally be more dangerous. This is a fact.

Therefore, if you really want to mine here, you must also consider the appropriate time node. It is not suitable for mining here in any season. There are still some small differences between here and Facai Creek.

But now it seems that there is no need to consider such far-reaching things, and there is no need to worry about those things for the time being.

In the final analysis, the gold mine has not been found yet, so there is no need to worry unfoundedly. After finding the gold mine, it is better to consider the follow-up work arrangements. There is no need to think too much at this stage.

Walking forward, Chen Ruobai asked, "Do you feel that we are going uphill now?"

Henderson has wanted to say these things for a long time, and he also feels this way, "I think so too. Although the slope is not big, we are definitely going uphill!"

After receiving Henderson's response, Chen Ruobai said dumbfounded, "Nature is really magical. It should be an inner bay at first glance, but it has become an outer bay. And it is actually a small slope. We actually want to be on the slope. Go prospecting, not in the sunken areas!”

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Henderson couldn't help laughing. He also felt that the things happening now seemed a little ridiculous and slightly different from some common sense.

But it's useless even if you complain. The wonders of nature are just like this. Many times, it feels like common sense has been subverted.

If everything is done step by step and remains unchanged, it will lose some charm and some surprises.

This is the situation Chen Ruobai and the others are encountering now. Although it is a little different from common sense, there is nothing to worry about. As long as they can find gold, it is enough. These are the most essential things.

Henderson said as he walked, "I think it may be that there have been many geological changes here in history. Landslides, diversions, and other factors have allowed us to see these abnormal signs."

Chen Ruobai nodded, but then said, "If this is really the case, the difficulty of our next work will also increase. By then, the rock layers will have changed greatly, and our pressure will increase."

Henderson shrugged and had nothing to say about it. He never thought that work would be easy, and he never thought that finding gold would be a simple matter.

It doesn't matter if it's a little difficult, as long as you handle these little troubles smoothly. As long as more gold can be found, it means that the hard work has paid off, and that is something to be proud of.

After walking up the hill, Chen Ruobai pointed ahead, "This is it. Let's see if this is a mountain or an ancient river!"

Henderson began to pray. He hoped that this was an ancient river channel. He hoped that there would be some breakthroughs in his prospecting career and he hoped to find a real gold mine! (End of chapter)
