Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 48 Trouble is coming
Chen Ruobai and the others were worried. The rain had lasted most of the night and continued throughout the morning.The river water has risen visibly with the naked eye. According to the normal law, the river water must continue to rise.

Looking at the turbid and rushing river, Chen Ruobai couldn't help worrying.Although the torrential rain has subsided a little since the afternoon, it still continues.

This is not good news. For Chen Ruobai, a gold digger, this is what worries him the most.After all, this time it was mining in the middle of the river, and it was very likely that the mining area would be washed away by the soaring river.

Lesnar touched his pocket, Devi glanced at it, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it over.

Just sitting at the door of the dormitory or the office, a few elders looked out the window worriedly.This heavy rain also extinguished Chen Ruobai's fiery hearts, the good news of the previous two days was thoroughly chilled by this heavy rain.

A heavy rain may make Da Zhuang happy.Although the summer here is not particularly high temperature, it is still a bit hot.Especially for Da Zhuang, these days are not easy, it has been sticking out its tongue to dissipate heat.

Now I don't understand the troubles of Chen Ruobai and others at all. After Chen Ruobai didn't pay attention, it ran outside the house and drenched in the light rain happily. It was a joy.Even if it was Chen Ruobai's scolding, Da Zhuang seemed to be deaf to it and didn't need to pay attention at all.

"This is good news. The rain is getting less and less." Devi cheered up and said with a smile, "Our dam is still very strong, and it seems that there will be no problems."

Chen Ruobai was not particularly optimistic, but said, "Water from the upper reaches will continue to pour in, so the river will continue to rise. Now it has almost reached the warning line, and no one can guarantee how long it will last without this rain."

Lesnar said harshly at this time, "If the rain stops, I will dig mines immediately, I am fed up with this worry!"

Montgomery also said, "I think so too. As long as I think that the flood may wash away my income, I am very irritable. I don't want to wait any longer, and I have to work overtime to finish the mine ahead of time."

This was everyone's determination, but Chen Ruobai thought it would be good to just listen.After all, people are not machines, not to mention that even machines need maintenance and maintenance. It is impossible to keep spinning continuously, which is not realistic.

Just when everyone is still worried, there is some good news.Although the light rain is still continuing and the water level of the river is also increasing, the dam still looks very stable.

The most important thing is that in the evening, the rain finally stopped, and I saw a little sunset, which seemed to be good news.

The rain stopped completely, which also made Chen Ruobai heave a sigh of relief, the big guys don't need to continue to worry about it.

After the rain, the air became fresher, and Chen Ruobai, who had a peaceful sleep, got up and started to get busy.His team needs to be more professional and thoughtful, and needs to specialize in the technical industry, so that it can be more efficient.

Everyone has to start preparing to return to work, and the hidden dangers are temporarily lifted, so there is nothing to say.Continue to invest in your work and continue to work hard to make money. This is what everyone should do.

Devi and the others packed up, and walked towards the river while wearing helmets, talking and laughing.

You don't need to be too concerned about the rising of the river, you just need to run in some areas, and the depth of the water is not too deep, so there is no problem at all.

After carefully checking the embankment and the water channel, Chen Ruobai felt that everything was fine.Leisner and the others circled the excavator and looked at the small pile of ore, but found nothing wrong with it.

That's good, it looks like it's just a false alarm, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Then just continue to devote yourself to work, there is no problem with this, just continue to work hard to earn more money.

Everything seems to be on the right track, and everyone is in a good mood.It's just that this kind of happiness is very short-lived, and some things are always so unexpected.For example, the weather may also be some major or minor accidents.

Lesnar was driving the excavator to dig the ore. He just dug a bucket, and he didn't notice the soft sand under the crawler when he unloaded the ore.It may be because too much ore was dug a few days ago, or it may be that the river is slippery and swollen due to heavy rain.

Suddenly, there were some small sandstone landslides under the excavator, and Lesnar didn't even have time to react, and the excavator had already slid down as a whole.

Even if it was just a small tilt, everyone panicked.The bucket didn't come back at all, the terrified Lesnar subconsciously moved the joystick, the bucket didn't hit anyone, but it hit the ground hard.

A false alarm seems to be just a false alarm.

Lesnar turned off the excavator and opened the cab door, "No problem, I'm safe, everyone okay?"

Chen Ruobai, who was standing in the river, felt relieved, and said with a smile, "We are all fine, but you have to check the ground carefully."

Lesnar didn't care too much, and said with a smile, "I took a cigarette and took a break. This is the most thrilling part we have encountered since the gold rush. I admit that I was just scared, but now it seems that there is no problem at all."

It's not just Lesnar who thinks this way, Chen Ruobai actually thinks the same way, and panning for gold is somewhat risky.But now it seems that there is no problem, and even what happened just now is not an accident.

This seemed to be a false alarm, and everyone didn't care too much about it in an instant. The most important thing was to continue to devote themselves to work in full swing.

Montgomery was simply looking at the situation, but suddenly felt something was wrong, "Robert, we are in big trouble."

When Chen Ruobai heard this, he became anxious and nervous, and hurriedly walked towards the excavator.

Montgomery pointed to the track, with a serious expression on his face, "It seems that two of our tracks are broken, which is a big trouble."

Hearing this, Chen Ruobai couldn't relax.Because like Montgomery said, it's a big problem.

Chen Ruobai and the others are all novice gold diggers. Although they can drive an excavator now, they are definitely not as good as some veterans when it comes to maintenance.What's more important is to replace the steel plate of the track. Chen Ruobai and the others need to hire a technician.

But in Alaska, these engineers are relatively popular, and the labor cost here, including the cost of some accessories, exceeds that of the United States.And the more terrible thing is that these engineers are not on call, which may delay a lot of time.

With a solemn expression, Chen Ruobai immediately said, "Ruen, check the machine quickly to see if something went wrong after the bump."

It seems barely acceptable to not move the excavator for a while, but if there are other problems, it will be a big trouble.

Lesnar also quickly climbed onto the excavator, and wanted to do some simple inspections after starting the excavator.But the next moment his expression changed. The situation with the most important boom bucket hydraulic cylinder of the excavator was wrong.

If the bucket of the excavator can't move, it can't work. This trouble is bigger than everyone imagined.

It seems that it is just a small slip and knock, and it seems that there is no big problem.But the reality is like this. Some seemingly insignificant small situations bring more hidden dangers and troubles than imagined.

For Chen Ruobai and the others, trials and troubles have indeed arrived.The gold panning trip that was originally smooth sailed also encountered a substantial test.

Chen Ruobai sighed, and seemed to be relatively calm, "This machine must not be able to move in the mine now, please contact me. I remember a call from the engineer, let him come and have a look. It is best to check carefully to see if there is any No other questions."

Leisner and the others have no objections either. If there are other problems, it is best to solve them together.

Chen Ruobai walked towards the office weakly, contact Dawson, first talk about the situation here, and see if he can get some help.

Previously, he was thinking of bringing an engineer to the team, at least someone who needs to be able to maintain and repair the excavator. This is an urgent matter, and Chen Ruobai must do the same now.

After all, it is a waste of time for the machine to stop here, and the worst thing is that such things delay work.

Don't blame others when something happens, the most important thing is to find a solution.
