Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 478 It takes no effort at all

The thinking may indeed need to be changed slightly. Some previous attempts seem to have failed, so it is necessary to reconsider some things and strive to get back on the right track in the shortest time. This is what Chen Ruobai should do. .

He is not a stubborn person, and he does not think that some suggestions are made by Henderson or Morgan, which will hurt his dignity, prestige, etc., it is not that exaggerated.

As long as he can find ore and gold, Chen Ruobai really doesn't mind if his team members bring him more inspiration and help. That's a good thing for him.

It is impossible to be stubborn. For a pragmatist like Chen Ruobai, being able to find a gold mine is the most important thing.

A new day began, and the first thing Morgan had to do was go to the town to do some shopping, carry out a series of supplies, and so on. In addition to daily food and diet, you also need to consider some gasoline, etc. These things are somewhat consumed and require some replenishment.

Henderson used the drone to fly and observed the surroundings, "Robert, the situation on the back side of the mining area is relatively optimistic. We shouldn't have much problem walking."

Chen Ruobai nodded. He was generally familiar with this place. "I don't think the problem is big. The only thing that needs to be considered is the small steep slope."

"I don't think those are problems. The key is to find our starting point." Henderson joked, "We can't continue our failure this time, but we can't find a half-mile length and still fail to find something valuable." clue."

The failure of the past few days has obviously left some psychological shadow on everyone, and now that I think about it, I feel a little scared.

This is not only the feeling of Henderson, but also for Chen Ruobai. He is also very worried about repeating the same mistakes and reenacting some relatively failed experiences. That is indeed too tortured.

Therefore, some of Henderson's opinions are also very correct. Judging from the current situation, they really should not consider detecting in the parallel direction of the entire mining area. The amount of work would indeed be too large.

Chen Ruobai thought about it carefully and said, "I think we can start thinking about it from the middle part. This is an option. Another way is to use the widest part of the mining area, which may be the center point of the ore source, and then the sediment spreads to all sides. .”

Both of these speculations have a certain truth, and they seem to have a certain degree of operability. That means we have to see how to make some choices.

If the guess is correct, maybe he will hit it with one hit. If there is a mistake in judgment, it is very likely that you will do some useless work again.

After all, judging from the current situation, even if it is a mudslide or landslide, the area should not be too large. It is very likely that it is a relatively narrow broken zone. It is not easy to find it. This also requires some 'precise positioning'.

Looking at Henderson, Chen Ruobai asked, "Give me a suggestion, where do you think we should start looking?"

Henderson did not hide his thoughts and said directly, "I think we should start looking at the widest place. I believe that the mining area is caused by a large amount of siltation that spreads to all sides. I don't think the center position is the best." Good choice."

Chen Ruobai also nodded directly and agreed with this statement, "It seems that we have reached a consensus on this point, and I think so too. Then if we take action, we can have a chance to win the final victory!"

Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the best choice. Whether it is Chen Ruobai or Henderson, they both feel that starting from the widest part will give them a chance to win.

Take action, there is no need to hesitate at this time, just start taking action.

Time is money, especially for these gold diggers. Gold panning is inherently a race against time.

What's more, people like Chen Ruobai haven't gained much before, and they have already "wasted" some time. This time naturally means that they need to grab time.

There can be no more mistakes this time. Chen Ruobai can't stand this kind of setback anymore, so he needs to seize the time. At this time, not to mention "going straight to Huanglong" to achieve the final victory, he should also find some valuable clues. .

Now that they are almost ready, Chen Ruobai and Henderson no longer waste time. They start to go up the mountain and prepare for continued exploration.

He knows a lot about this mining area and naturally knows some relatively accurate locations. For example, the layout of the mining area, some key data of the mining area, etc. are all clearly understood.

Henderson was holding the Luoyang shovel and looked somewhat confident, "We shouldn't make any mistakes this time. This time we will definitely be able to find valuable clues."

"I think so too, we will definitely make a discovery!" Chen Ruobai also echoed, "At least we have eliminated a wrong option, and we are definitely getting closer to success now!"

There was indeed no valuable discovery in the work of the past few days. This is an indisputable fact. There is no problem in saying that it failed.

But to comfort myself, the work of the past few days was to eliminate some wrong options. It can even be said that the option with the highest probability of error has been eliminated, which means that Chen Ruobai and the others have increasingly smaller options.

This can be regarded as a small victory and discovery. The work of the past few days can not be regarded as nothing.

Henderson also continued, "If we do find a landslide, are we likely to find a big mine?"

"It's hard to guarantee such a thing, and I don't have much confidence now." Chen Ruobai told the truth, "Of course I hope to find a big mine and a new fortune stream, but no one knows what will happen."

Looking at Henderson who seemed a little disappointed, Chen Ruobai smiled and continued, "These are just some possibilities, but I believe that as long as we find the source of the ore, our harvest will have the opportunity to further improve."

No one can guarantee whether a rich mine will be found, but as long as there is an opportunity to improve some results and increase some gains, it will obviously be worthwhile.

It's useless to say anything at this time. You should just work hard at this time to see if you can find some more important information and see if there is a chance to find more clues.

As before, those dense shrubs will hinder Chen Ruobai and the others from prospecting. At this time, they only need to cut them down and clean them up. It is as simple as that. Looking at some fallen leaves, pine needles, etc. on the ground, Chen Ruobai sighed. Judging from the surface soil layer, the possibility of finding anything here is actually not very high. This is a fact.

However, you still need to continue to work hard when it is time to work hard. What you see now is just the superficial phenomenon.

Whether there can be some decisive clues still requires continuous exploration. The clues deep in the soil are even more important.

Henderson almost has the same kind of thinking. Simply looking at the most superficial situations, it's really not a good place right now.

As if to further confirm some of their speculations, the first mine was drilled about three meters away, and there was still some soil. It seemed that there was no sign of sediment or river sand at all.

If this is just the case, it probably proves that the new ideas of people like Chen Ruobai may also be wrong. They seem to be still standing still and continue to achieve nothing.

This is naturally a worrying matter, and Chen Ruobai is also under a lot of pressure for such discoveries. It’s just that no matter how great the pressure is, you still need to persist at this time. Now is definitely not the time to give up.

If there is no discovery at three meters, then continue drilling, hoping to make some discoveries at about five meters, and hope to usher in a turning point.

But even if the exploratory hole was drilled to five meters, Chen Ruobai and Henderson still found nothing. The soil dug out from the exploration holes is still just soil. At first glance, it is a completely different concept from the ore sand in the previous mining area.

This is a shocking thing. For them, this is extremely bad information. They seem to be getting closer and closer to failure, and it seems that they will continue to make the same mistakes.

This feeling is really bad, but even if it feels extremely bad, I can only continue to persevere feebly at this time. There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Even if you want to retreat at this time, you can't. It seems that you can only choose one path until it is dark.

Morgan returned home with a full load, and he seemed to be in a good mood, "I feel it went very smoothly. My purchase was very simple. I just had to follow the list to complete it. Moreover, my presence in the team was not strong, and no one knew me." "

The BMW he drove out was also Chen Ruobai's. Although Chen Ruobai was somewhat famous among the gold diggers, not everyone knew his car.

Coupled with the fact that Morgan, a gold digger with a weak sense of presence, naturally attracts even less attention. Even if you meet someone on the road, it might not arouse some curiosity from others.

Seeing that Morgan was in a good mood, Henderson complained, "Your work is going very well, but we don't have any valuable discoveries. I feel terrible. We have drilled seven exploration holes, but still nothing." Find any valuable clues."

Morgan couldn't be happier at this moment. His procurement task was only very simple, and it was not the key to the success or failure of the exploration operation.

There are still no valuable clues found, which seems to be the most frustrating thing. This is also the situation that he is most worried about.

After all, it seems now that even some changes in thinking are still useless, as if all our efforts are in vain and they are destined to fail.

This feeling is really extremely bad, but the current situation is like this. If there is no discovery, there is no discovery. These are the realities that cannot be changed. This is the current progress of this prospecting work.

The three of them had a simple lunch unhappily, and then naturally continued to work. Even if they didn't make any valuable discoveries, they still needed to persevere. It was not the time to give up completely and go home just yet. .

Morgan's job is also very simple. He keeps a distance of about a hundred meters from Chen Ruobai and Henderson. He is now starting to drill holes parallel to the widest part of the mining area to see if any clues can be found on this hillside.

After the first exploration hole was drilled, Morgan was inevitably a little disappointed, because what was dug out was just some ordinary soil, which really had no connection with the ore in the mining area.

This feeling is indeed very bad, but even if it feels bad, Morgan can only grit his teeth and persist.

Change the place and continue drilling. Even though he no longer has any sense of expectation in his heart, he still persists instinctively. That's his job, there's nothing to say about it.

Morgan, who was just moving sideways, suddenly felt something was wrong. The land under his feet seemed flat at first glance. But once I stepped on it, I always felt that something was wrong. What was missing was the most complete slope.

When he thought of this, Morgan couldn't help but get excited. He felt as if he had made some great discovery. The clues that everyone worked so hard to find in the mine were stepped out by him like this!

Looking up towards the slope, Morgan's feelings became more intense, so much so that he felt that even the growth of the shrubs was something wrong.

It seems that the shrubs are very dense and the trees seem to be relatively intact. But if you are not here, you may think that the slope here is very complete because of those branches and leaves, or you may mistakenly think that the vegetation here looks very dense because of those branches and leaves.

Because what caught his eye was a small 'road'. There was a path about half a meter wide that extended all the way up the hillside. As far as he could see, there were almost no trees growing on this small island.

"Robert!" Morgan immediately shouted excitedly as he grabbed the walkie-talkie, "I seem to have found the path from which the mudslide came out!"

Hearing the sound coming from the walkie-talkie, Chen Ruobai also became excited, "Did you find it? Did you dig out the river sand?"

"It's not river sand!" Morgan quickly explained, "Come here quickly, I must have read it correctly. There must be a ditch here, the ditch we have been looking for!"

Morgan's words made Chen Ruobai dumbfounded. For a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression he should make.

They were working hard digging the mines, hoping to find some clues, including buried river sand and so on.

But now, Morgan found the ditch directly. It really took no effort at all!
