Alaska Gold Rush

Although the road is a little bumpy and difficult to navigate, it is not a big deal at all to Chen Ruobai and the others.

Just take the drilling machine apart. This was also specially considered for Chen Ruobai and the others. It has been modified and customized to a certain extent. It is more convenient for repair and maintenance, and it is also easier to take apart.

All you need to do is push and pick, and spend some time assembling it, and that's basically it.

Although it takes some effort and so on now, if you consider that the next work will be much easier, it will be more valuable and meaningful.

Chen Ruobai and the others do not have high requirements at all. This is also because their previous drilling experience is too difficult to describe, so now some small improvements and progress will make them feel happy.

There is nothing we can do about it, mainly because the past life was too bitter, so now with a little sweetness, everyone seems to be somewhat satisfied.

It seems that the pursuit is not high, but there is nothing you can do about it, this is work. This is gold mining, and in many cases you really can’t ask for too much.

The new mechanical equipment was delivered, which naturally made people like Chen Ruobai feel happy. Everyone thought that this could bring some help to their work, and they also had high expectations for the punching machine.

Everyone's enthusiasm is very high, mostly due to work. However, it is difficult for men to resist the attraction brought by large machinery. These things are really eye-catching.

When I was a child, I may have loved excavators, but this love has completely disappeared, but sometimes it is not obvious. But when I have the opportunity to come into contact with these again, I am naturally very enthusiastic.

After simply assembling the mechanical equipment, Chen Ruobai seemed to have high expectations, "I hope the money spent is worthwhile. I think it should be good."

Henderson gave his own opinion, "I think we can trust it. It looks like a brand new device at first glance, and there will definitely be no problem with its reliability!"

Although this basis of judgment is a bit crude, it still makes sense. New mechanical equipment, etc., the possibilities should be relatively good, and it is worth looking forward to.

Morgan said with some prayer, "I hope this attempt can achieve the best results. I hope that the probe shovels can be completely eliminated. I hope that they will never be used again!"

The nightmare of Luoyang shovel was so unforgettable that Morgan seemed a little distracted now. His requirements for the drilling rig are not high at all, as long as it can replace the Luoyang shovel, that's fine. He really doesn't care about picking and pushing, it is better than using the Luoyang shovel.

Not to mention Morgan and Henderson, even Chen Ruobai was deeply touched by this. The Luoyang shovel is indeed a good thing, and it has also brought great help to his prospecting business, but it is also really tiring.

So if there is a chance to eliminate Luoyang Shoun, he will definitely have no nostalgia and there will be no old feelings or anything like that. It's just that the Luoyang shovel is too tiring to use. It would be better to end some nightmares as soon as possible.

It seems that everyone has reached a consensus on these matters. The biggest role of the drilling machine is to replace the Luoyang shovel. Some mechanization replaces manpower, which is not just as simple as improving work efficiency.

After a simple debugging, Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "Although we can drill better now, our machines are not accurate and advanced enough."

Morgan probably understood what Chen Ruobai meant and asked, "Are you worried about the samples taken out? If our machines are more advanced, we can know at what depth we got good samples."

These are also facts. Some advanced drilling machines can take samples very well and can know at what depth the ore sand is found and whether it contains gold.

But the current instrument actually does not have these functions. Even many drilling machines are only responsible for drilling holes and do not have other functions.

Henderson also reacted and said, "So its role is just to slightly reduce our workload? It just doesn't require us to dig out a few meters or more than ten meters of prospecting?"

"That's true. It can't replace some of our work, it can only make it easier for us." Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "But this is not bad. Don't say that we may have to dig a few meters of drilling holes. Even if it is a depth of more than ten meters, we still need to complete it.”

Henderson and Morgan suddenly felt shuddering, because this is definitely not alarmist, but they have actually had such experiences, and it was an out-and-out nightmare.

So even if the drilling machine cannot completely replace some jobs, it doesn't matter. At most, the drilling machine can be used to drill out the minerals efficiently, and then the manpower can be used to take some samples along the prospecting.

These are actually an improvement. After all, the efficiency of manpower drilling holes is indeed average. It is common for three people to not be able to drill ten prospecting holes in a morning.

When using a drilling machine, there are basically no worries and worries in this regard, and the efficiency can be improved. This is a very big progress, and it is also something worth being happy and looking forward to.

There is no need to complain too much. The efficiency will be improved a lot and it will be much easier. That is very meaningful.

If mechanical equipment really replaced manpower, then Chen Ruobai would have no reason to pay everyone. There is no way to replace manpower, which can be regarded as ensuring job opportunities for some people.

If you think about it this way, some things seem to be good. Henderson and Morgan don't need to worry about being eliminated. They still have a full sense of presence in the team.

Kessler also took the initiative to say at this time, "During the use process, you must pay attention to communicating with us in a timely manner. I know that these equipment may not be perfect now, but we can continue to improve and upgrade. The current equipment is not perfect yet. "

Needless to say, this point goes without saying. Customer feedback is also extremely important and must be taken seriously.

Chen Ruobai really needs to collect further information. In the final analysis, how much help the drilling machine can bring. Now everyone only has some expectations in mind, and there is no absolute guarantee. When the drilling machine started roaring, Chen Ruobai started to complain directly, "My first thought is that if we use it, we will definitely not be able to keep it secret. Not to mention that it may attract the attention of some people nearby, even if it is installed Everyone in Creage can hear it.”

Henderson and Morgan also laughed at Chen Ruobai's complaints, but they did not refute. Although it's a bit exaggerated, the noise is indeed quite loud.

Not only the noise caused by the machine itself, but also the rapid rotation of the drill bit and the drilling of soil, which also caused a lot of noise. It was indeed quite noisy.

"If my hearing is affected in the future, it will definitely be counted as a work-related injury." Henderson also said, "And we may need to be more careful. The flying sand and gravel may also injure us."

Chen Ruobai does not object to this statement. This is not particularly advanced equipment, and the work is simple and rough. Of course, it also requires enough thick skin and easy operation, which of course requires some sacrifices in performance.

Kessler also warned at this time, "If you want to prospect in the future, you must prepare more drill bits."

"I also need a visual hose probe. Our preparations will definitely become more and more advanced." Chen Ruobai smiled, still a little proud, "It will look more professional than others." Gold diggers need to be more high-end.”

Kessler thought about it carefully and said, "That's true. Compared to most gold diggers, our equipment is much more advanced. This equipment is very suitable for us, but it is not suitable for other teams."

Henderson said proudly, "Those guys don't need these advanced instruments. They only need an excavator and a gold washing plate. This is a necessity for their prospecting."

Everyone also laughed. Other gold mining teams may not be really just a combination of excavators and gold washing dishes. But it is also true that most smaller gold mining teams do not need too many seemingly advanced equipment.

It is of no use at all, so naturally we can save costs, and we must also deal with the fact that the benefits do not seem to be high.

Although everyone was chatting, the serious work was not delayed. They were also paying close attention to the progress of the drilling machine and the progress of some prospecting.

What Chen Ruobai focused on was not necessarily the mud and sand that came out of the drilling. It would be best to see the golden light. But it doesn’t matter if you can’t see it. It’s acceptable if the exploration hole reaches the predetermined depth.

This is a key exploration area, and some clues have been seen here before. Continue to investigate carefully to see if there are any surprises and to see if you can find more clues and gold.

These all determine the potential of the gold mine, and whether it can make the prospecting results go further this time. In fact, it is spent in this process of constantly drilling holes. There is no way to take chances, and we can only prospect one after another. beat.

It's impossible to be lazy. Some equipment upgrades, etc., just make everyone a little more relaxed.

The effect of the drilling machine was obvious. Chen Ruobai and the others observed carefully and soon reached the predetermined depth. In less than half an hour, they drilled to a depth of five meters.

This speed is basically acceptable, mostly because the soil here is relatively soft. If it hits a rock, it will naturally not be as fast and effective, and the drill bit may be damaged by then.

Chen Ruobai basically accepts this performance and thinks it is completely within the expected range. If we continue to maintain such efficiency, it means that the money spent is not lost, and it is really effective.

"The depth can be increased a little more. This is not its limit." Kessler said confidently, "I have already considered the special nature of prospecting, so under normal circumstances we can have a detection depth of 25 meters. .In extreme cases, it can be done at thirty meters, but the efficiency will decrease."

Chen Ruobai smiled and joked, "We don't need a depth of twenty or thirty meters now. I think fifteen meters is a good choice. If necessary, ten meters may be enough, and we don't need to ask for too much." .”

It is very necessary to leave a little margin, and you cannot reach the limit value of the equipment every time you prospect. But I have to say that you can't think of some things too simply. If the performance is more powerful, it might come in handy at some point.

Pointing to a short distance away, Chen Ruobai said, "Clean it up. After drilling the holes here, it will be over there. Keeping a distance of ten meters is enough. With the help of the machine, the density of prospecting can be increased a little."

Henderson nodded and said, "That's true. We used to choose a larger spacing to ensure a rough range. But it's different now. We can use the help of machines to get more accurate data and a clearer scope of mining areas. "

This is indeed the case. Chen Ruobai also believes that with the help of machines, he can grasp the information of the mine more accurately. Although you could continue to explore after finding a gold mine in the past and get more accurate data, the efficiency was not necessarily particularly high.

But now, it seems that there is no need to worry too much. We can still consider obtaining more accurate data while ensuring efficiency, which can ensure that the prospecting work is more accurate and can ensure that some useless efforts are avoided.

Second General Heng Ha left and went to clean up the site in advance. This was also to prepare for the next precise prospecting.

Looking at Kessler, Chen Ruobai said, "You have done a good job. The next step is to send other equipment. The visual probe is what I need, and there are some spare parts. I will send them together next time." come over."

Kessler nodded, still relatively happy, "Since you think these devices are helpful for your work, that's enough. I will take care of the rest, and I also look forward to seeing you when you have new tools. Find more gold."

Finding more gold is the simplest and best wish. For these gold diggers, only by finding more gold mines can their income be guaranteed. This also proves that everyone's efforts have paid off. s return.

Kessler needs to be picked up when he comes, but there is no need to drop him off when he leaves. Chen Ruobai and the others are still busy prospecting, so they don't have time to care about Kessler. It's not like he can't drive!

Chen Ruobai is just thinking about finding the gold mine as soon as possible. He is also just looking forward to getting more clues. There is no need to think too much about other things. As a gold digger, prospecting should always be your first priority! (End of chapter)
