Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 47 Small Crisis

With confidence in his heart, Chen Ruobai naturally seemed more confident, mainly because he had found a new mine, so of course he had confidence.

When he returned to the living area, Devi immediately came over, "Robert, you found gold again, right?"

"It seems that the situation is good, but I still need to continue to confirm." Chen Ruobai was full of confidence, and said with a smile, "This also means that you need to work hard, and you don't need to worry that there will be no next mine to start."

Lesnar looked around, regretting, "It's a pity that we didn't bring champagne, otherwise we could have a good celebration. Now we can only celebrate with beer, but this is enough for us."

It's not a high-end reception, so there's no need to hold it.These people are all at the bottom. Even if they made some money, they didn't say that they would complete the so-called class leap immediately, or that their connections and resources would be greatly improved. All of these would take some time to accumulate.

Good news keeps coming, the main thing is that being able to make money and find gold during this period is more important than anything else.

Now gold has been found in the dug waterhole, and it seems that there can be a good harvest here.Moreover, Chen Ruobai found a new gold mine shortly after, and everyone has the opportunity to increase their income again. This is all good news.

That is to say, it is still in the living area. Otherwise, it would be worth throwing a party to celebrate. This kind of achievement is also very good among the gold digger group. There is no need to be modest about this.

Lesnar was very happy, and said to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, in this gold rush season, our total harvest will exceed [-] ounces. I set the goal at [-] ounces, and we definitely have a chance to achieve it."

Devi doesn't think so. He analyzed, "We dug up 840 ounces of gold in the first mine, and now this gold mine may be able to dig about 250 ounces. That means we still need to find another rich mine, which is not the case. easy."

"I don't even think it's difficult, [-] ounces is too conservative." Leisner said confidently, "If we find around [-] ounces in the next mine, we can have a chance to reach the goal .”

Montgomery said, "I was cleaning up the site today. The area there doesn't look that big, and it's all the ore that was once panned out. It may not take too long. I think it can be completed in about a month. Brothers, It's hard to pan for three hundred ounces of gold there, maybe you can pan for a hundred, two hundred ounces there."

Looking at the friends who were discussing enthusiastically, Chen Ruobai suddenly asked, "Is it a low harvest to get [-] or [-] ounces in about two months?"

Hearing Chen Ruobai's words, Leisner and the others were also stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help becoming proud.

Because there are many gold digger teams, after a whole gold rush season, they can harvest three to four hundred ounces.Those who can harvest close to [-] ounces belong to a capable team, which must be experienced gold diggers and complete equipment.

There are indeed many gold mines in Alaska, but not every gold prospector can earn hundreds of thousands or millions.Even the actual goal of many people, which is to earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, is acceptable.

Chen Ruobai's reminder also made everyone more proud.Especially Lesnar and Devi, although the gold rush environment was very difficult at the beginning, they also made a lot of money because of it, and they seem to have found an enviable job.

It is true that it is dirty and the environment is relatively bad, but the money earned will also make many people envious.

Montgomery couldn't help but look forward to it. Although he didn't join the gold rush team before, but now he joins the team in time and can make some money along with it, which is enough.

Everyone is celebrating happily, and the good news that keeps coming in naturally makes everyone more motivated.

Everyone drank, chatted, and ate some small barbecue until midnight, and then returned to the dormitory to get ready to rest.

She fell asleep drowsily, but Chen Ruobai suddenly heard the sound of raindrops hitting the roof.I thought it was just light rain, and I didn't need to pay special attention. After all, I have encountered rainy weather since the gold rush.

Even when it was raining, Chen Ruobai and the others could overcome it, and there were many things like working in the rain for them.The rain in this season is actually not a big problem, at least it will not be too cold.

It's just that Chen Ruobai sat up suddenly, because the rain seemed to be a bit heavy, which made people a little worried.

Chen Ruobai really couldn't sit still, if it rained heavily, it might cause the river to swell.If such a situation really happened, Chen Ruobai would suffer a lot, so he had to worry about these things.

It's not just Chen Ruobai who is more anxious, but other people are actually the same, they will worry about some situations.

Devi and Lesnar got up in a hurry, and the searchlights outside were turned on, and now everyone was going to be nervous.

Lesnar hurriedly put on his poncho and ran towards the river, "I'm going to check the embankment, it must be reinforced."

"The diversion tank must be checked." Chen Ruobai also hurriedly pulled out the poncho, still worried in his heart, "If the water volume rises sharply, we must consider these matters immediately, and there must be no accidents."

Now the mining pool is in the middle of the river, if the water volume increases, it will definitely be able to deal with it.If it really happened that the flood flooded the river bank, Chen Ruobai and the others would definitely have nothing to do about it.

The same is true of gold panning, especially in river panning, some things are really beyond human capabilities.

Montgomery also hurried to the river, and the excavator rang after a while.Busy to reinforce the embankment, busy to further widen the diversion trough, and to prevent the excavated ore from being washed away, these are all things that need to be prepared.

After two busy hours, the sky finally became bright.Chen Ruobai and the others didn't feel happy, but now they all looked worried, mainly because the rising trend of the river seemed to be more obvious.

If it continues to rise like this, the risk of 'dam failure' will naturally increase.The most important thing was that the rain didn't stop, but it was getting bigger and bigger, which naturally made Chen Ruobai and the others even more worried.

Wiping off his sweat, Chen Ruobai said with lingering fear, "I don't think everyone's efforts were in vain, and should have some effect."

"I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is that it will continue to rain." Devi said bluntly, "If it's just light rain, it will be fine. Our embankment can hold on. But such a heavy rain only lasts for one day. The work is wasted."

Not to mention the waste, the loss may be a little bit, the main reason is that the mining area will be washed away, and that is the real loss.If such a situation really happened, Chen Ruobai and the others would want to cry without tears.

The worried Chen Ruobai and others could only wipe away sweat and rainwater, and could only drink coffee and watch the heavy rain worriedly.

There is definitely no way to start work immediately. If the rain doesn't stop, there must be no way to start work.Even if the rain continues, even if the rain stops, it may have to stop for a day or two.

Looking at the pouring rain, Chen Ruobai said, "You'd better go back, I'm not a ruthless capitalist, you can date Abby."

Devi shook his head and said, "It should be Nathan's turn to have a holiday. I'd better stay here and see what's going on here."

"There are still two days before my vacation." Montgomery also shook his head and said, "But I dare not leave in this situation. I am the best excavator driver."

There are actually holidays here, but they are all single holidays.It's just that in the current situation, if you want to go home and rest with peace of mind, you may have no idea.After all, it is raining heavily outside now, who knows if the traffic will continue to increase!

Several people continued to watch here worriedly, also praying.This pouring rain cannot continue, otherwise the difficulty of the work of the big guys will continue to increase!
It's just that God and the Dragon Lord's affairs are beyond the control of ordinary people. It seems that the only thing left that can be done is praying.
