Alaska Gold Rush

Although we encountered a coyote, it slightly disrupted everyone's work progress. However, this is just a false alarm. After solving this matter, we still need to continue working.

However, everyone is not taking it seriously. Since coyotes can appear, it means that it is completely understandable for other beasts to appear here.

After placing some parts and other things in place, Chen Ruobai and the others returned to the camp.

Henderson took the gun and walked out without saying a word. It seemed that the existence of the coyote really made him pay attention to it. Before, everything was fine. It was just calm on the surface. In fact, there were a lot of fluctuations in my heart.

Seeing Henderson leave, Chen Ruobai joked, "I suspect that even if he sees a hare now, he will shoot it. There will definitely not be even a small animal near our camp."

Morgan was not joking and said, "I have no doubt he would do this. He would think that too many herbivores like rabbits would attract some carnivores. Unless it's those mice, we can't catch them. Otherwise I will too." Eliminating them is the safest thing to do.”

Chen Ruobai didn't know what to say. He was joking, but it didn't look like Morgan was joking. This means that Henderson can really do such a thing.

However, Chen Ruobai didn't care much about this. He was not a soft-hearted person. He was already interested in things like hunting, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Alaska in the first place.

Being soft-hearted to some wild animals, etc., this may not be Chen Ruobei's character. The most he can do is not hunt some rare animals or poach them for profit, that's all.

As for other things, don't expect it. Chen Ruobai is really not a particularly enlightened person.

What's more, if you think about it carefully, Chen Ruobai also has a "criminal record". He has shot a bear during non-hunting periods.

So now if a bear appears again, as long as you feel that your safety is threatened, as long as the bear affects Chen Ruobai's work. Then there is no doubt that he will definitely pull the trigger without mercy.

Chen Ruobai joked, "I think so too, but we need to be careful not to be reported or the police find evidence, otherwise we will be fined."

There is no shortage of people in Alaska who go hunting deer and bears during non-hunting seasons. If caught, they basically cannot escape the fine, and sometimes they may be imprisoned. But if you don’t get caught, that’s a different story.

Morgan seemed very confident and said, "I don't think there is a problem. This is not a hunting area in the traditional sense. Very few hunters will come here. Except for gold diggers, I can't imagine anyone coming here."

Chen Ruobai felt it was very reasonable, "That's true. No one except us would like a place like this."

This is not an exaggeration, these are facts.

Except for these gold diggers who like to run to the mining areas, there is really no one else. There are relatively few wild animals here, and hunters prefer hunting areas with more wild animals.

And transportation, organizations that grow some medicinal herbs, etc., will not take the Alaska route. The climate and so on are not suitable, and the market is smaller. Going from Alaska to Canada is far less cost-effective than going from Mexico.

The same is true for those who cross the border illegally. It’s not that there are no people who cross the border from Alaska, but that there are relatively few such people. What's more, no one would come to the Fairbanks mining area.

So there are some things that you really don’t need to worry about. As long as you don’t go too far, there’s nothing to worry about.

After pouring some water for Da Zhuang, Chen Ruobai said, "If we can complete the work on Golden Mountain this year, we will prepare for the situation at Facai Creek. Facai Creek is my foundation, but its mining period is getting shorter and shorter. .”

Morgan can completely understand these things, "The current mine will not last long after this year's gold rush season ends. Even if there is another rich mine, the total of it will only last for more than two gold rush seasons."

Not counting this year, there seems to be no need to worry about Fa Cai Xi in the next two years, which is something worth comforting.

However, considering that prospecting takes time, and now that all the easy places have been found, gold mines have been found in more remote places. The construction of some early mines also takes a lot of time, which is what Chen Ruobai needs to consider.

So once we have it done on the Golden Mountain side, we need to start the continuous exploration of Caicai Creek intensively.

Even if some exploration has actually been carried out on the Facai Creek side, it can be regarded as a slight gain, but it is really far from enough.

Therefore, you need to continue to work hard when it is time to work hard. Some tasks just cannot be delayed for too long.

This is especially true for Gold Mountain. A new gold mining team is already being formed. Even though it seems that some mines have been found here in Gold Mountain, some preliminary construction here does not need to take too long for the time being. It seems that construction can start at any time.

However, considering the terrain characteristics here and the distribution of gold mines, all this means that Chen Ruobai needs to spend more time and understand this big game, otherwise it will definitely waste more resources. and time.

No one understands this truth better than Chen Ruobai. After all, this is his industry, so of course he needs to take it more seriously. He will never dare to slack off, nor will he start to forget about it now that he has achieved a small amount of success.

That doesn't exist, and that's not his character.

Looking at Morgan, Chen Ruobai asked, "During your break this time, did you contact your former friends?"

Morgan understood what Chen Ruobai meant and immediately said with a smile, "Of course, I take this matter very seriously, and I know you care about it too. But you also know about gold diggers, everyone is very busy during the gold mining season."

Of course Chen Ruobai knew this, but he still said, "If there is bad weather, we can have a drink. They must also need a rest and do not want to be in the mine all the time. The environment there will not be very good."

This is true. For gold prospectors, it is of course the best thing if the mining area is close to the town. But if you are far away from the city, you can only grit your teeth and persevere. If it is not suitable to start work and time permits, many people are still willing to leave the mine for a short rest and adjustment.

Morgan also understood what Chen Ruobai meant, "It is indeed the case, but no one can guarantee the time. Of course they also hope to become friends with you. You are a successful person in this industry, and it is not a bad thing to have more personal relationships with you."

This is not flattering. Although not everyone wants to be friends with Chen Ruobai, some people do think that there will be no harm if they become friends. Who knows when this friend will come in handy. Many friends, many paths, similar proverbs are also found in the United States.

There will sometimes be some cooperation among colleagues, etc. This is also a very normal thing and will not be surprising at all.

Chen Ruobai laughed confidently, "I think so too. They are interested in me, and I hope to learn some valuable knowledge from them, which will be beneficial to everyone."

Naturally, that's what I said. As for whether it will really help, this is something that no one can guarantee. But anyway, it's not a bad thing to have a drink if time permits.

Maybe there will be some unexpected gains, maybe some valuable information can be obtained. This is also very possible, and it is not necessarily a fantasy.

Chen Ruobai also knows that these things cannot be rushed, so he can only be more patient.

When he has time, others don't have much time. What's more, he cares more about this matter, while other colleagues may not care so much. After all, those people don't seem to be asking for help for the time being.

Thinking about this, Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "I always thought that I had more frequent and close contact with some colleagues, but now it seems that what I did before was not good enough."

Morgan joked, "Your contact with your colleagues is only after the gold rush season is over, but this is normal. Many people left Alaska after the gold rush season. You are in Seattle, they are in other places, and no one has time." Party. Unless you have been in this industry longer, you can accumulate contacts."

It is true that Chen Ruobai is not particularly careful in managing connections, but he does not easily build grudges with his colleagues. Sometimes when we get along more pleasantly, change phone numbers, etc., he is still very happy and willing to chat a few words.

In the final analysis, this industry is special, and Alaska is also special. We don’t have time to gather and communicate. Even if the mine is relatively close, we don’t have much time when everyone is working, not to mention that after the gold mining season, most people go back to their own places. Home.

Some things are really not about Chen Ruobai being aloof, etc., but simply because time does not allow it. It is just because some practical conditions are not convenient, and it has nothing to do with being aloof, withdrawn, etc.

After chatting with Morgan for a while, Chen Ruobai naturally knew what was going on and didn't take it too seriously.

It is of course extremely important to learn some experiences from some peers and find ways to better develop your own golden mountain. But this matter cannot be rushed. At least we need to understand some of the situations here in more detail first.

Some things just need to wait a little longer. Chen Ruobai is actually not particularly worried about this. He has a lot of things to do now. Even if some colleagues come over, he may not be able to spare some time.

We need to find more gold mines first before we can proceed with the real development planning.

While Chen Ruobai and the others were still chatting, they suddenly heard a gunshot. In this quiet wilderness, the sound of gunshots also startled many birds that were originally resting in the woods.

Chen Ruobai looked at Morgan and joked, "Our guess is correct, that guy has entered hunting mode now."

Morgan said with some envy, "I also like hunting very much, but I missed the opportunity this time. It is such a rare opportunity to experience the joy of hunting at work."

Chen Ruobai also admitted this and continued, "That's true. That guy used to be a hunting guide and survival trainer, but he couldn't really enjoy hunting and could only serve customers. This is a kind of torture, for me so."

Morgan said with deep approval, "I think so too. You can't shoot when you see moose or grizzly bears. It's too tortured to know that your clients are hunting when you're protecting them. So I came to Alaska to earn money as a gold digger." Big money, he continues to suffer in the hunting area.”

Anyway, Henderson is not here. Since he is absent now, of course he will be programmed. Anyone who is not present must be mentally prepared for the possibility of being choreographed. This scene is probably familiar to many people, and such scenes are staged everywhere.

Chen Ruobai and Morgan are still a little envious of Henderson. That guy is hunting right now.

What's even worse is that that guy is hunting in the name of work, which makes him even more enviable when he thinks about it.

After being sour, Chen Ruobai said, "He will definitely not be able to find the big beast, and he won't leave too far."

Morgan could also understand this truth and continued to add, "It is true. Real hunting requires continuous search for prey. He is only hunting small animals now. He has just become more interested, warmed up and excited, but he will be back soon." This feeling is even worse, and he will soon be very disappointed and collapsed!"

If you don't have enough fun, it will definitely be a huge regret, and you will definitely have some uncomfortable feelings in your heart.

Chen Ruobai said with a bad smile, "So it's better if we don't go hunting. It's enough for me to maintain enough enthusiasm and wait for the arrival of the hunting season."

There is really no need to envy that guy Henderson. There will be plenty of opportunities for good hunting in the future, so there is no need to rush in this moment.

But suddenly Chen Ruobai and Morgan looked at each other, and they fell silent after looking at each other.

It's true that that guy Henderson didn't have much fun when he went hunting, but he had a good time at least.

Chen Ruobai and the others wanted to have a good time during the hunting season, and this idea was correct. However, the hunting season overlaps with the gold prospecting season, and these gold prospectors simply cannot spare three or five days to hunt properly.

At least that guy Henderson is having a good time, but people like Chen Ruobai can only watch. If you want to go hunting properly, you can only wait for the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Or it would be acceptable to wait until the gold rush season is over, find a private hunting ground, and enjoy hunting a dozen specific animals.

There is nothing we can do about it, why would we be engaged in the gold mining industry now? Hunting and fishing are basically hard to enjoy.

Even if I feel itchy, I can only endure it! (End of chapter)
