Alaska Gold Rush

For Chen Ruobai and the others, work has now entered the normal track and they are about to start the next prospecting work.

The morning in the mountains is a little cold, but it's not particularly cold. After all, it's not the dead of winter. Even when I get out of the shelter, it's good to be cold so that I can wake up a little bit.

Although the initial construction of the current Jinshan Mine is very ordinary, it can even be said that it is very crude. But no matter what, it is not particularly uncomfortable, and basic life can obviously be guaranteed.

Not only can the basic life be guaranteed, but there are even some lower limits, and you can live a pretty good life.

Breakfast is oatmeal, milk, bacon, fried eggs, etc., which is not as good as some restaurants. However, some of these foods are large in calories and obviously not lacking in nutrients. For outdoor workers like Chen Ruobai, this is acceptable.

After breakfast, the three of them set off directly, each one knowing what to do.

Carrying the gun, Chen Ruobai said as he walked, "If this area is detected this year, our work will be easier. I hope that the next work will go smoothly. This is my expectation."

Henderson also said, "I think so too. As long as the exploration here is clear, everyone will definitely feel a lot easier. Our territory is too big and the workload is also very heavy."

This can be regarded as a kind of happy trouble. Facai Creek is Chen Ruobai's territory, and now there is a golden mountain. There is indeed a lot of land, which means there must be a certain amount of work.

It's just that everyone doesn't have any opinions on these things, and they can completely understand these things.

This is definitely a good thing. The heavy workload also means that there is the possibility of more gains, and the expectations are rising unconsciously.

Morgan was carrying his bag and was looking forward to it. "I hope our work can go smoothly. We have basically figured out the terrain here."

This is also information that can be obtained with money. Ever since it was confirmed that there was gold in the Golden Mountain, Chen Ruobai has done a lot of work. Those are not simple things and they all require money.

Punch machines and the like are actually trivial matters. These are naturally important production tools that can greatly improve work efficiency and will definitely bring a lot of help to everyone.

But all this is not all of his preparations. He has actually made a lot of efforts and preparations in other aspects.

For example, the surveying and mapping of some topography of Jinjin Mountain, etc., these tasks have not been delayed. These are also very important matters.

Of course, Chen Ruobai did not do these things himself, and he indeed did not have such a skill. These were very professional matters. For him, professional matters must be left to professionals.

It's nothing more than a matter of spending some money. As long as the current investment can make Chen Ruobai's work easier, it will be considered worthwhile.

What's more, he can't just consider it easier and simpler. It also allows him to better grasp the situation of Golden Mountain and better arrange the subsequent exploration situation.

These are what Chen Ruobai should do, and these are the things that make him different from many ordinary gold diggers.

Chen Ruobai, who has a big family and a big business, can spend more and make more detailed preparations in order to be more efficient in the later stage.

This is not only the case in Golden Mountain, but in fact, a series of detailed investigations were also conducted on the Facai River. Even though he needs to do prospecting, he is not good at surveying and mapping topography.

The three of them were talking and laughing. They didn't feel any burden or pressure about the work ahead, nor did they think these things were particularly difficult. They just had to do it step by step.

I am already very familiar with many things and know how to do them, so naturally I don’t feel any burden or pressure, let alone find them tricky or unable to start.

For example, as soon as they arrived at the location, Henderson and Morgan started to take action, directly assembled the punching machine and then turned it on.

Chen Ruobai stood in front of the punching machine and was in a very good mood, "Compared to our manpower, it has indeed improved efficiency."

Henderson said with a look on his face, "I admit this, but I think there is room for further improvement and improvement."

Morgan also understood what Henderson meant and echoed, "That's true. It just made a hole now and failed to bring out the ore sample. If these tasks can be completed in one piece, it will be more efficient. .”

Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining and said, "If that happens, I will spend a lot more money. We can't use those particularly advanced instruments now. On the other hand, if those machines are used, the value of your existence will drop a lot. You need Maintain a sense of crisis and don’t be replaced by machines.”

Henderson was not particularly under pressure and said confidently, "We can also help you with some analysis, and we can also protect your safety. These cannot be replaced by machines, and we all know this."

This is not to say that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. What Henderson said does make sense.

Machines can indeed improve efficiency. Sometimes they are more efficient than human labor, and even the cost is much lower. But this does not mean that machines can completely replace manpower. Especially in the gold mining industry, many machines and equipment require people to operate.

What's more, whether it is Henderson or Morgan, their first job is to accompany Chen Ruobai in prospecting and protect his safety. These are the most fundamental. These things obviously cannot be completely replaced by mechanical equipment.

Therefore, there must be a sense of crisis, and they need to maintain progress and learn, but they don't have to walk on thin ice all the time, and they don't need to worry about being replaced by machines in the short term.

Morgan looked at the puncher and said, "Okay, now it's time for us to continue to play. We have to prove our strength."

Chen Ruobai interrupted directly and said proactively, "If you want to express yourself now, you must have missed the best opportunity. I will complete the work now, and you can continue to dig holes."

Chen Ruobai naturally prefers relatively easy work. Prospecting itself is not easy, but being able to find something that is relatively easy is definitely not a bad thing, and these are things that should be grasped.

Now we just need to take out some ore samples from the drilled holes, which is much easier. We must seize the opportunity.

Morgan spread his hands helplessly and said, "You are the boss, we can't argue with you on this matter." Chen Ruobai smiled and admitted this, "I think so too, I am the boss, so I can arrange some relatively easy jobs for myself. But you can’t. You have to do more burdensome and stressful jobs.”

Now that everything is said so straightforwardly, there is no need to argue about anything, because there is really no room for negotiation, so we should do things according to the boss's arrangements.

Seeing Henderson and Morgan busy, Chen Ruobai just smiled. He didn't intend to be idle, and he had a lot of things to do.

Picking up the Luoyang shovel, Chen Ruobai also started to take action. Just apply scraping directly along the drilled hole.

If it is integrated and automated, it can directly bring out the ore, record the depth of the ore, etc., then it would be great, and it can indeed slightly improve the efficiency.

But such high-end things are really not necessary for Chen Ruobai. At this stage, he cannot use such good equipment. Blindly pursuing high-end products is not cost-effective, and you cannot do such uneconomical things.

This is good now. In the past, the most difficult and tiring thing to do was to drill the hole for prospecting. This hole is enough to make people very tired, and it also takes a lot of time.

How good it is now, you can start scraping directly, it is simple and efficient, not too tiring, saves worry and trouble.

While taking samples along the exploration hole, Chen Ruobai was also observing carefully, absolutely not wanting to miss any bit of golden light or making mistakes.

"It looks okay, and the density can be guaranteed." Chen Ruobai rubbed the sand with his fingers, with a bright smile on his face, "Golden Mountain, how big it used to be, but the only bad thing is that it is too scattered."

These are not Chen Ruobai's wishful thinking or being too greedy. This is just that he wants to earn more. It is simply that he hopes to find more gold and be a little more relaxed at the same time.

Unfortunately, judging from the current series of discoveries, it is basically not too difficult to find enough gold, and there will be some guarantees. This can be considered a relatively happy thing.

However, it is obviously impossible to expect to relax. Don't expect this to happen. This is Golden Mountain, not Fortune Creek. The terrain and gold mines are all different.

There is nothing you can do about the difference. As long as you can find a good gold output, you can completely accept this result.

After all, Chen Ruobai is not actually doing the mining. It is not simple or easy for his team members to get these wages. These people also have a need for their existence.

Henderson and Morgan are now responsible for drilling, while Chen Ruobo is following up to take samples.

After a day's work, there were no disturbances. Overall, the work was relatively smooth.

Henderson joked, "Looking at your face, I know the results of today's work are very good. You must have seen a lot of gold again."

Morgan thought so too, and continued to add, "Although we can't see the gold, this is a mountain of gold. In the place you choose, I suspect that you can wash out gold by just digging a shovelful of mud and sand."

Chen Ruobai was very proud and said, "You reminded me of an idiom called 'turning stone into gold'."

Although Henderson and Morgan don't understand, they can simply talk about it and explain it, which is not difficult for Chen Ruobai.

Henderson's eyes lit up, and after he understood, he said, "I think you must have such an ability. This is the best alchemy. What we see is only soil and sand, but you can turn them into gold. "

Chen Ruobai couldn't help but become happy, "If only I really had that ability, I wouldn't have to work hard in the mountains to find gold mines. At that time, I would be in the alchemy room, refining a lot of gold, and using gold It would be cool to build a villa and put a statue of me at the door."

Henderson complained and said, "You remind me of the Grand Commander. It is said that his manor and his private plane are decorated with some gold. And you must know that the building named after him is one of the ugliest buildings. .Bling doesn’t mean beautiful, it can also be very vulgar.”

Chen Ruobai disagreed, "His building is just fake and glittering. If I really use gold as the roof and use gold to build faucets and swimming pools, it will definitely be very cool!"

Morgan followed up and said, "You can plate your car with gold, and your watch can also be set with diamonds. You should learn from those athletes and rappers, and you can even put a gem between your eyebrows. You have enough gold. , you can do these things.”

"That's too avant-garde, and it's very burdensome for me." Chen Ruobai couldn't help but laugh, "And I think it's very unsafe. Someone will take away the gems, and there may be infection."

How to become a better nouveau riche, it seems that Chen Ruobai still needs to learn it. Although he seems to have a villa and a yacht now, compared to the methods of some nouveau riche to show off their wealth, it is really Not enough.

Those people may like to show off, but why not use it as a kind of publicity and gimmick? After all, those people are basically public figures. Being famous for those people means that they can realize cash and make more money.

But these are not necessary for Chen Ruobai. He does not need to rely on fame to cash in. That is not the right way for him.

Even if he likes to show off a little sometimes, it's still within control.

Who said that Chen Ruobai didn't have the real ability to turn stone into gold, so he couldn't show off his wealth in a particularly high-profile manner. He thinks he has not yet achieved true financial freedom, so even if he wants to show off his wealth, it is not enough.

This also means that he needs to continue to work hard. Now such a small achievement is simply not worth mentioning.

Only by working hard to earn more money and possessing more wealth can you be qualified to enjoy life.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

Chen Ruobai, who has already achieved some small achievements, must not be complacent. He still has great potential that he can continue to explore, and his career can also develop further and better! (End of chapter)
