Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 477 Persistence is victory

Not being able to find any useful clues is Chen Ruobai's biggest problem now. They seem to be feeling a little tricky and embarrassed because of such situations.

But you still need to persevere when it's time to persevere. Now it's very likely that you are spinning on the edge of the gold mine, and what is missing is to find the key to unlock the treasure.

In order to find gold mines, you need to be more serious and hardworking at this time. This is what you should do.

It's not Chen Ruobai's style to back down because of the slightest difficulty, and these people are not the type to give up easily. For them, hard work is one of their basic qualities.

So even if the feeling in the mountains is very ordinary, and I have indeed suffered some hardships in the past few days, in order to find gold, all this is nothing. You need to continue to persevere when it is time to persevere.

Chen Ruobai and the others really wanted to find some valuable clues, and they worked very hard, but some things didn't go as smoothly as they expected.

It seems that this is another day of futility. For people like Chen Ruobai, it seems that they have become accustomed to it. They have not found anything in the past few days, so they seem to have long accepted this reality.

They already feel a little numb, so naturally there will be no depression at this time.

But this is not a good thing after all. It has become numb, which means that it has experienced more failures and that the work is not progressing smoothly.

If this can be considered a good thing, it also means that Chen Ruobai's prospecting work can be declared over. It also means that the gold mining work is basically over, and there is nothing to look forward to.

Chen Ruobai was a little depressed. After taking a shower, he looked at the supplies and said, "I will go to the town tomorrow to purchase some supplies and come back. Our supplies seem to be a little unsustainable."

Morgan agreed, but seemed a little unwilling to do so, "We have brought supplies for five days. Should we continue to persist this time instead of going back to rest for a weekend?"

Henderson also looked at Chen Ruobai. Prospecting work usually lasted for five days, followed by a short break. But that’s not an absolute situation. Sometimes the work is urgent and things get messed up. This is something that has happened before.

If we encounter this kind of situation, it naturally means that the next vacation will definitely not be a simple weekend, but a real rest.

Chen Ruobai looked at Morgan and asked with a smile, "What do you think? Or were you not mentally prepared before entering this camp?"

Morgan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "I'm actually ready to work here for a long time. I also thought about working for ten or fifteen days in a row. I won't have any complaints about this. That’s what my job is and I’m totally okay with that.”

Next to him, Henderson said silently, "I'm also mentally prepared to work here for a long time. I'm even prepared to never leave until I find a gold mine. I'm not afraid of working hard, I'm just not willing to leave." Like never being able to find something.”

These seem to be the biggest problems. We have not been able to find some valuable clues, which naturally greatly dampened everyone's enthusiasm.

Henderson is like this, and so is Morgan. They don't think there is any problem in staying here, but they can't find any clues. The feeling of powerlessness is too torturous.

Sometimes, compared to physical fatigue, this kind of mental powerlessness is more unbearable, and this is what Chen Ruobai and the others are experiencing now.

Chen Ruobai originally wanted to say something, to cheer everyone up, but the words could only turn into a sigh when he reached his lips. In fact, he didn't even want to talk about his work these days, and his enthusiasm was somewhat affected.

If a few words could mobilize enthusiasm, he would have said it long ago. He knew that those things actually had no effect. The thing that could boost morale the most at this time was actually finding clues, even small clues.

If we find any clues, we can at least see some directions for our efforts and some results of our work. This is enough.

It's just a pity that Chen Ruobai and the others can't even meet these small demands. The whole team looks a little listless, which is understandable.

For these gold diggers, gold and ore are the best things to boost morale. Once they find them, everyone will be full of energy.

This is really a headache. Now we not only have to consider the lack of clues, but also the morale of the team. This is also an extremely important thing.

With the characters of Morgan and Henderson, Chen Ruobai naturally does not need to worry about their 'rebellion' or anything like that. However, it is not a good idea to work feebly and only produce work without exerting any effort.

Seeing Chen Ruobai's frown, Henderson asked, "Robert, you didn't collect information last time?"

"After collecting information, how could I not collect information." Chen Ruobai complained, "I am a professional gold digger. After knowing that there may be gold here, I made a lot of preparations."

Regarding this point, Morgan and Henderson didn't seem to have any doubts. They also knew Chen Ruobai's character and knew that he would definitely not be opportunistic or perfunctory in the matter of prospecting.

Pointing to the valley area, Chen Ruobai said, "I asked people to collect information, and asked geologists to simply judge the directions of some valleys and rivers. Based on some clues we found, we inferred the possible directions of mineral veins, etc. I did the preliminary preparations.”

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Morgan and Henderson became even more convinced. They also believed that Chen Ruobai's success could not be explained by just good luck.

In addition to his outstanding abilities, he has indeed invested a lot of money in prospecting and often consults professionals.

With such an attitude, if it fails to succeed, that seems to be the most surprising thing. If you can achieve success, everyone will feel normal. This is a true portrayal of how hard work is rewarded.

However, these true portrayals may not be suitable for use in this time's prospecting, because Chen Ruobai and the others still have not made any valuable discoveries so far. Henderson was a little surprised and found it a bit difficult to understand, "Since you have done a lot of preparations, according to normal circumstances, we should be looking in the right direction, and we can have a chance to see those mineral sands."

Chen Ruobai complained and said, "You also said that such a discovery would be made under normal circumstances. Obviously, what we are encountering now is an abnormal situation."

Henderson was speechless for a moment, because he felt that what Chen Ruobai said was very reasonable. Now it seems that there are some abnormal situations, and nothing can be found. This is the situation that everyone is encountering now.

Henderson and Morgan were even more shocked by Chen Ruobai's truth. Even though they were extremely well prepared, they still couldn't change the result of having no clue and no discovery, which seemed to be even more unacceptable.

It's so ridiculous to say that now I can't even find an excuse for my work to be stagnant. I really don't know what to say.

It seems completely understandable if I continue to feel dejected at this time, because I really have gained nothing.

After a moment of silence, Henderson asked tentatively, "According to our previous detection ideas, we must be searching based on the direction and distribution of the mining area. But now it seems that this idea is wrong. We have already searched too many place."

Morgan nodded again and again. He very much agreed with this statement. "I think that's the case. We have to adjust our thinking. It's obvious that the conventional thinking is wrong. That's why we can't find any more clues!"

After hearing the opinions of his subordinate General Heng Ha, Chen Ruobai also fell silent. He felt that he needed to think about these things carefully.

Morgan and Henderson were not trying to rebel, nor were they questioning Chen Ruobai's decision. It was simply that based on the current situation, it seemed that some of the previous ideas were not guaranteed to yield results.

So now it is necessary to readjust. At this time, timely changes are needed. It is necessary not to hit the wall and not look back, because that is just a waste of time. They cannot continue to waste like this. It is extremely important to change their thinking in a timely manner.

Morgan pointed to the mountains 'behind' the mining area and said, "Robert, regardless of the direction of the mining area, do you think they might have been washed down directly?"

Chen Ruobai was stunned for a moment, and then he began to analyze it seriously, "You are saying that according to our thinking, the ore is brought from landslides and debris flows. It may run east-west or north-south, but it may also be formed directly. of?"

Morgan immediately said, "Yes, I think so too. This possibility cannot be ruled out. We can do some more investigations now!"

It seems that there is no problem at all, because the previous conventional ideas have been proven to be unreasonable, so naturally we have to try unusual ideas, which may also bring some unexpected gains.

Morgan continued, "I thought about it carefully. Those landslides or mudslides brought the mineral sand here. But because of the terrain, the sand spread out in all directions, forming the shape it is now!"

Henderson's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Yes! Such a possibility does exist. Maybe we have overlooked the most important cause!"

According to some common sense, landslides and the like are naturally rushing down from the mountain. There is naturally nothing to say about this. It seems that all this is completely understandable.

What Chen Ruobai and the others had previously considered was that debris flows and the like formed 'horizontally'. But they ignored that the silt was washed down directly, which could also form the current mining area. This possibility cannot be ruled out!

Chen Ruobai also stood up immediately and looked at the mountain behind him, "I did ignore this place. It looks too flat, so I subconsciously felt that it was unlikely to form a landslide or something like that."

"Yes, we have ignored this information before." Morgan continued, "If you think about it carefully, it looks very flat now, but it could have been a mountain before. This is the geological change you have been talking about. We cannot Just because it’s a low hill now assumes it’s always been that way!”

Chen Ruobai nodded repeatedly and said with great approval, "That's true. I also think we should reconsider this matter and change some of our original ideas."

Now this is a low hillside, and the surface looks very complete. There seems to be no threat here, which is why everyone subconsciously ignores some possibilities.

However, all this is just a possibility. Now Chen Ruobai and the others have no choice at all. They must start a new phase of work again.

At this stage, Chen Ruobai and the others can really only continue to try new ideas. These people can only continue to work hard. For them, any possibility needs to be confirmed, because it may be An 'answer' they are searching for.

"Then we will take action tomorrow to find out some of the conditions on the front of the mining area!" Chen Ruobai spoke directly and arranged the task, "As long as we find those clues, we can succeed!"

Henderson joked, "I hope the work can go smoothly this time, so that we can go back and rest early."

Things like rest are indeed very necessary, but these also need to be based on some harvest results. This time, Chen Ruobai had enough confidence, and he never gave up his determination to find clues.

Naturally, we have to wait until this stage of work is completed before considering things like vacation. Now we can only ensure the basic rest time every day and ensure that it will not affect the subsequent work. We really can't expect too much for other things. .

Chen Ruobai continued to take a good rest in the Hummer, preparing for a new day of work that was about to begin.

As for some of his own confidence, etc., Chen Ruobai doesn't seem to have much confidence now, probably because he has been getting nothing these past few days, which is somewhat disappointing.

At this stage, it can only be a routine. With some small expectations, we can only continue to work instinctively. It is as simple as that.

Chen Ruobai doesn't have much confidence, let alone Henderson and Morgan. They seem to be just persisting instinctively now. This is their job.
