Alaska Gold Rush

With some new discoveries, this certainly seems to be something that makes everyone happy. But no one can guarantee how long this happiness will last. Whether this is a small happiness or a huge surprise, I'm not sure.

All of this requires a series of subsequent explorations to know the final results. This may be some surprising gains, but there may also be some minor disappointments.

Chen Ruobai knew this well, and he knew he had to work harder. Heng Ha Er will be working hard to find some clues, but they can only find some preliminary clues.

The final series of discoveries and so on still need to be finalized by Chen Ruobai. He will complete the real technical work.

This is my confidence. My previous series of work results have been outstanding, and I have gained everyone's trust. He is the core and soul of this team. This is obviously not something that can be said casually. All of this is proven through work.

Chen Ruobai is very confident. Some jobs are irreplaceable. Some jobs may be done well by others, but those people's jobs are only good. He can do his job well and excel.

Go take a look now and see what the little clues that General Hengha found are going on, and see if there is any greater potential.

Looking carefully at some of the excavated sand, Chen Ruobai had a smile on his face. It was indeed a real smile. This was a good discovery.

In the opinion of Henderson and Morgan, they dug out river sand in the direction suggested by Chen Ruobai. This is very similar to the river sand in the gold mine they found before. It is very likely that it is one piece, which is considered very good. It was discovered that the missing river sand was found again.

This is something to be happy about. It also means that the next prospecting work has actually found a more accurate direction again, and everyone can continue to work hard in the right direction.

It's just that Henderson and Morgan didn't understand it well enough, and they couldn't see the tiny gold in the river sand, so they missed the most important information.

Others might miss this extremely critical information, but Chen Ruobai would not. He saw these bright golden lights at a glance, and he became more and more certain that this was the Golden Mountain, and it was worth investing more of his energy.

Rubbing the river sand in his hands, Chen Ruobai said with a relaxed expression, "We can know that these river sands are one with the river sands we found before without the need for testing with scientific instruments."

Henderson also agreed with this point of view and joked with a smile, "I think so too. If it weren't for you buying this place, I would have wanted to raise money to mine gold here. I have learned how to prospect for gold. As long as I find it, This river sand is enough.”

Morgan was also joking, "You still need to study with Robert for several more gold mining seasons. Now you have only learned to find river sand, but you haven't learned to find the mud and sand. This is not enough."

"He is right. You haven't mastered all the core technologies yet." Chen Ruobai also joked to Henderson, "In order to avoid bankruptcy, you need to study with me for a while. You are not qualified yet. Gold digger.”

These are naturally just jokes, and no one takes them seriously. Henderson obviously has no intention of starting his own business. He knows how much he has.

Even though it seems that he has found river sand now, he seems to have learned to use the Luoyang shovel to find some mineral sand. But without Chen Ruobai drawing maps and circling the terrain, Henderson wouldn't know where to dig.

Furthermore, even if he knows where to dig a mine, how to determine the gold content in some ore sand, etc., this is still extremely troublesome for Henderson. These technologies are not yet mastered at all.

So if you start your own business now, that would be the stupidest thing to do. If you lose all your money and are almost bankrupt, there seems to be no need to make a fuss.

Confidence is a good thing, but if it is overconfidence, it may become a completely bad thing. The losses at that time will be extremely heavy, and even unbearable.

It is more appropriate to stay in Robert Mining Company down-to-earth. You may not be able to make a fortune here, but the basic income can still be guaranteed, and it can be better than most people. This is also good for people like Henderson. Will suffice.

Kessler observed the mineral sand carefully and then raised his own question, "This is just ordinary mud and sand. I just saw some tiny gravels in it. I don't think there is anything special about them."

Morgan jumped to the conclusion, "That's why you're in the office, and we can prospect here for gold. I'm pretty sure these are river sands, and these are one of the mineral sands we're looking for."

He pointed to the mountainside and then to the mining area at the bottom of the mountain, "I don't know about prospecting, but I know that you also found gold mines in those two places, although one of them doesn't seem worth mining."

Henderson and Morgan were a little regretful. In Chen Ruobai's opinion, the gold mine on the mountainside had no actual mining value, which could be regarded as a pity. The hard work paid off, but it wasn't as expected, which was a bit of a shock.

Kessler continued, "If my judgment is correct, based on the information currently available, the distribution of mines here seems to be very scattered."

This time Henderson and Morgan have no say. What Kessler said is very reasonable. According to some information currently available, this seems to be the case.

But these matters also need to be determined by Chen Ruobai. He has some absolute say in these matters, and some of the decisions he gives are the most authoritative.

Seeing everyone looking over, Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "I think the preliminary clues are like this, but we still need to continue to observe. I need more clues and evidence to support the theory, but now there are some good ones. News.”

It is still necessary for Chen Ruobai to make some final decisions. Although some of his words were not fully expressed, everyone seemed to think that they were very reasonable after hearing his words, and more clues were indeed needed to support them. infer.

Chen Ruobai was still in a good mood. He pointed to the river sand at his feet and said, "We need to continue working hard along this point. Maybe there will be more discoveries and gains."

"I hope so. This is also good news." Henderson said, "If more gold mines are found, we can consider developing this place."

Morgan nodded with deep understanding, "We can also get a bonus. I like the results of such work."

Kessler thought deeper and pointed to the mountainside, "Robert, if our mines are scattered, mining will definitely be difficult. But if the planning is more reasonable, we can also consider mining that gold mine."

Chen Ruobai was stunned for a moment, then realized, "It seems to be true. The cost of mining that gold mine alone is too high and it is not cost-effective. But if that gold mine is only used as a derivative, it is worth mining." But all this The premise is to lay a solid foundation when mining other gold mines. Only then will it be possible to logically consider mining the gold mine on the mountainside.

However, these are also difficult to a certain extent. The reason is naturally that the gold mines are too scattered now, and the gold mines are not connected in a line, so some obstacles have not been eliminated.

The mine on the mountainside is still worthless for mining. These are the facts. Whether the gold mine on the mountainside can be mined depends on the subsequent prospecting results and the progress of the subsequent gold panning work.

These things really cannot be rushed, and all of this requires more patience. There is really no rush.

Kessler smiled and said, "If there is no main mine, but it would be good to have more smaller gold mines, we can still make a lot of money here."

Finding the main mine is naturally the best thing. It's just that things like the main mine can be regarded as rare, and it is really something that cannot be guaranteed.

Even if Chen Ruobai seems to have made some achievements in the gold mining industry, it seems to have been unanimously recognized by everyone. He has found some gold mines with good reserves. These are also indisputable facts.

But even if it is said to be a rich mine over there at Facai Creek, it is actually deposited gold sand, which is two different concepts from the main mine with veins.

If you want to achieve better results, you obviously need to put in more effort, and Chen Ruobai knows this. He longs to find the main mine one day and become a real mining company boss, but he will not deliberately force it.

Do your own work well first, and the rest can actually wait a little longer, and let nature take its course.

Because these things are useless no matter how anxious they are. They require hard work, skills, and a certain amount of luck.

It's better to do the things that you can control first. The main mine is temporarily out of reach, but these small gold mines are within his reach, so don't aim too high.

Chen Ruobai continued to arrange the work and said, "The new equipment we got is pretty good. Let's speed up drilling. We can choose to give up these Luoyang shovels for the time being."

Some mining equipment naturally includes drilling machines, but Chen Ruobai did not necessarily have the financial resources in the past. On the other hand, the roads in the area where he was prospecting were rugged and not suitable for some larger equipment to enter the site, so it could only be done by manpower.

However, the efficiency of using Luoyang shovel is indeed relatively low. This is a passive situation that Chen Ruobai has always wanted to change. He wants to slightly improve the efficiency to make everyone's work easier.

After all, prospecting does not happen overnight. He needs to continue prospecting, and the demand for some mechanical equipment is naturally much higher.

In fact, this time Kessler came to the mine because he brought some mechanical equipment that Chen Ruobai needed. The highlight naturally included the drilling machine.

This is not a particularly large piece of equipment, and transporting it to the mining area is not an easy task, but there is no need to worry too much. The most important thing is that even on rugged mountain roads, Chen Ruobai and the others can easily disassemble and assemble the mechanical equipment.

The trouble is that it is a little troublesome, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The strength is really limited and there is no way to use some large equipment like some large mines.

But even so, these devices can still bring some help, making Chen Ruobai and the others more efficient in their prospecting, and making them feel a little more relaxed.

In fact, it is enough to say that. Some of Chen Ruobai's requirements are not too high. Continuous development, continuous progress, and some small improvements in doing this series of work, that's fine.

Of course, he also envied those mines that could directly carry out mountain blasting. He also longed to use super large excavators, etc., but those things were not practical.

For Chen Ruobai, it is really either big, advanced or good, and it can bring real convenience to his work, that is the most important and most suitable.

Chen Ruobai naturally knows which things are more suitable for him now and which things his financial resources can allow.

Henderson couldn't wait, he was really happy. "We should have done this a long time ago! The biggest reason I don't like prospecting is because it's too tiring. It's real torture."

Although Morgan didn't say anything, his expression said some of his thoughts. He seemed to agree with some of Henderson's views, and he felt the same way about many things.

The living conditions in the wilderness are not as good as those in Facai Creek. This is actually nothing. It can be overcome to a certain extent. These are indeed not the most uncomfortable places.

But every time they saw the Luoyang shovel, Heng Ha and the two generals felt frightened. They didn't like the feeling that their arms were so sore that they almost didn't belong to them.

It was an out-and-out torture, but they could only overcome these things because this was what the job required.

Chen Ruobai smiled and then joked, "This is just an attempt. No one knows whether they can really suit us. And I can guarantee that some places cannot transport them, so we still have to maintain a relatively original working mode. "

Henderson probably understood this, but he didn't take it seriously, "I know, but as long as not every place needs to use the original working mode, my requirements are not high at all. Now that I can relax a little bit, I am very happy ”

Morgan added, "The place we are now is very special. There are many detection areas here, and the workload is very heavy."

So now that we have sent some equipment, it is really a big help and can make everyone's work a little easier.

Even if it's just a small thing, it's still a very good thing. (End of chapter)
