Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 54 A Little Accident

The busy Chen Ruobai drove to the mine again, not the mine in the river, but a new mine to be developed.

"There is a problem with mining here, mainly because there is too much soil." Looking around, Chen Ruobai was a little worried, "Once it rains, it is easy to stop working, and this matter must also be considered."

Chen Ruobai, holding a small rake, continued to rake the ground. Although he knew the approximate place where the ore was buried, Chen Ruobai was always looking forward to more discoveries, hoping to have the opportunity to find more gold.

However, there were no more surprises. It seems that now we can only wash gold in the ore fields that have been detected.

Thinking about having fun in bitterness, the ore sand here was dug out by gold diggers in the early years, and there is basically no mining difficulty.Moreover, the gold content here is not low, and the work efficiency will definitely be higher, which is also a good thing.

A month would certainly be enough to finish the work here, and it might not even take a month at all.Judging from the current speed, as long as there is a seamless connection, basically all the work can be completed in about three weeks.

The preparatory work for the new mine is about to start now, but the follow-up search for new mines is also urgent.

While Chen Ruobai was still observing the mine, Da Zhuang, who was running around leisurely, suddenly barked nervously.

At this moment, Chen Ruobai became nervous, and instantly pulled out the Glock 20 from his waist, which he bought for 550 dollars after making money.In addition, there is a Remington 600 worth more than 700 dollars on the all-terrain vehicle, but it is equipped with an ACOG scope of about 4 dollars, which is a [-]x scope in some games.

Although these are civilian versions, they are not considered high-end, but compared to many people, Chen Ruobai's equipment is not bad, and these also need to spend some money.

Da Zhuang quickly ran to Chen Ruobai's feet, although Da Zhuang was very big, it was just that he was not particularly courageous.When facing some beasts, Da Zhuang obviously does not have the ability to single out.

Holding the gun, Chen Ruobai also quickly arrived in front of the all-terrain vehicle. Although the pistol can defend himself, it is not as powerful as the rifle.

A chubby black bear suddenly emerged from the woods. This is the American black bear. It seems to be nearly two meters long and about one meter tall at the shoulder.Such a big guy weighing nearly four hundred catties is obviously an adult male bear.

This is still a black bear. If it were a brown bear, it could be bigger in size and weight.

Chen Ruobai didn't dare to be careless, this is a bear, don't look at Chen Ruobai has a gun in his hand, if his marksmanship is accurate, he can basically knock down a black bear with one shot.But once the shot fails, the black bear is likely to be angered.

Don't look at the black bear looks a little chubby, and the speed of walking is not fast.However, these natural overlords can easily kill moose weighing three to four hundred catties, and black bears can also run at a speed of fifty kilometers per hour.

Although I have encountered bears many times in Alaska, but now we only meet within 100 meters.The black bear obviously also smelled Chen Ruobai and Da Zhuang, and the bear with poor eyesight may even have seen Chen Ruobai and Da Zhuang clearly.

The tense Chen Ruobai swallowed, and without daring to be careless, he raised the gun and slowly opened the safety.Once the black bear wants to act, he will definitely shoot at the first time.

Whether it's accurate or not, I dare not say for now, but Chen Ruobai's marksmanship is actually relatively average.But in such a situation, I don't care so much. Maybe the sound can scare the black bear away. In fact, under normal circumstances, bears will not take the initiative to attack humans.

The black bear also noticed Chen Ruobai, it didn't growl or sprint, it just seemed to be confronting Chen Ruobai quietly.

Suddenly the black bear turned around slowly, and then staggered into the forest, which made Chen Ruobai heave a sigh of relief.

Suddenly encountering a black bear at such a close distance also made Chen Ruobai a little weak.Even if you have a gun in your hand, even if you have a certain amount of hunting experience, you will still feel frightened when you suddenly encounter a top hunter in nature.

As for why he didn't shoot when the black bear turned around, the reason was naturally that it was not the hunting season.If Chen Ruobai shot, he might encounter some troubles, after all, it wasn't because he was attacked by a black bear.

"It's not bad luck." Chen Ruobai patted the restless Da Zhuang, and said with a smile, "We're lucky, this bear is full, otherwise it might treat us as prey. But don't worry , I can protect you."

Not to mention the Remington 700 in hand, even the previous Ruger is the same.There is no need to myth some wild beasts. Many hunters in the United States use these seemingly weak guns to knock down larger brown bears, as long as the marksmanship is accurate.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Chen Ruobai felt that he might have broken into this black bear's territory.

Black bears are very territorial animals. In order to protect their territory, they often fight with some wild animals.

Chen Ruobai, who left with Da Zhuang disheartened, still couldn't help feeling emotional, "This is prospecting. I knew that such things might happen before, but I still get nervous when I actually encounter these things. I haven't encountered them a few times before." It, that's just luck."

This incident should also remind Devi that encountering wild beasts in this wilderness is not worth making a fuss about.But if you encounter such a thing, you also need to tell your companions, so that you can avoid some accidents as much as possible.

Making money is very important, and Chen Ruobai never denied it, but he paid more attention to safety.

Whether it is the safety of the construction or the accidents that may be encountered, they are all things worthy of his attention.

After returning to the camp, Chen Ruobai immediately said to Abigail, "Our new mine may be in the territory of an adult male bear. Don't run to the edge of the forest, it will be dangerous."

Patting her waist, Abigail said confidently, "I have more experience than you. I have lived and grown here since I was a child, and I know how to deal with this situation."

That's right, even though Chen Ruobai worked as a lumberjack before, he also encountered some wild animals.But at that time, I was basically with the workers, so there was nothing to worry about.

And Abigail herself has a tough personality, and she has also experienced such a scene, so instead of worrying about her, it is better to consider how to deal with such a situation more calmly, this is what Chen Ruobai should consider.

Having said that, what should be reminded still needs to be reminded.

Even if Abigail is capable of coping with such a situation, she still needs to be reminded so as not to be caught off guard.

Let's remind each one, this is definitely not Chen Ruobai's fuss.Regarding Chen Ruobai's reminder, the big guys were not too nervous, mainly because they felt that this was considered normal in Alaska, and naturally it didn't feel new after more experience.

But none of these were taken seriously, it was precisely because I had experienced many such things that I was more aware of the risks in such a situation.Security matters are never trivial.

Safety in production is no small matter. Chen Ruobai did what he should do, and that's about it. It's enough for everyone to have a sense of prevention. It doesn't have to be ready to hunt the black bear with great fanfare.

Abiding by laws and regulations, Chen Ruobai is relatively law-abiding in most cases, mainly because he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

The situation is different now. Now he has a little wealth and a career, and he doesn't want to waste all his previous efforts.

Gold panning and mining is the main business, and hunting and other things can be put aside for the time being, and these things are not necessarily considered now.

Some plans were slightly disrupted by a black bear, but Chen Ruobai didn't particularly care about it.As long as things are settled, life and work must go on, and he still has a lot of things to go on.

Whether it is life or work, Chen Ruobai has his own things to do.To run his own business more impressively, to find more gold, to improve his ability, all these are things that Chen Ruobai wants to do well.

Arrogance and self-satisfaction obviously do not exist, perhaps because he knows that he still has many shortcomings, Chen Ruobai feels more and more that he should study hard and improve.
