Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 60 Conjecture
A figure emerged from the tent in the middle of the river, and it was naturally Chen Ruobai who was looking for ore.

"It's another beautiful day!" Taking out the toothpaste and toothbrush, Chen Ruobai walked slowly towards the water's edge, "It's a beautiful day, and it should turn around. If I can't find it again, I'll have to walk this river to the end!"

After brushing my teeth, washing my face, and having a simple breakfast, I've dealt with it.After checking the luggage and packing the tent, Chen Ruobai set off again.Continue to walk along the river, although it is estimated that if you continue to go back to the main river, it doesn't matter, it just takes some time.

Searching for each river, and looking at the mainstream after the tributaries, you can always find something.If a whole section of the river has not been found, then it is as simple as ruling out a wrong answer and going to the next river to find gold.

The method may be a little stupid, but as long as it works.What's more, Chen Ruobai now has some experience, he doesn't just find a river and start looking for gold along the river, he has his own strategy and method.

Looking at the meandering river, Chen Ruobai was slightly lost in thought, always feeling that something was wrong.

He took out the map and looked at it carefully. The flow direction of the river had already been shown on the map.Chen Ruobai also observed carefully, he can confirm that the map is very accurate, basically there is no problem.

Since there is nothing wrong with the map, the question naturally arises, where is the gold? !
There is a good gold gathering place downstream, but along the way upstream, there is no gold at all.Even a little gold seen sporadically is undetectable, and it can almost be regarded as not found.

The most important thing is that the more you go up, the less you can see gold, even sporadic gold.All of these are naturally what Chen Ruobai thinks is abnormal, and these are obviously what he feels is wrong.

"The river diverted?" Chen Ruobai thought about it carefully, and there was only one guess, "It seems that the river has changed its course somewhere!"

Suddenly remembered something, and Chen Ruobai suddenly realized, "It's the old mine, it's above the pool. If the river was diverted hundreds of millions or millions of years ago, it's entirely possible. The river came from there. , Now this is not a gold mine at all, only the lower reaches of this river have gold!"

Although this is just a guess, such a guess is very possible, and this can be regarded as Chen Ruobai's analysis and judgment.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain that there is almost no gold in the river section above the pool, especially the further upstream you go, the less gold you can see.Chen Ruobai didn't think that there was another problem with his eyes, it could only be that the place where the gold was buried was not here!

Thinking of this, Chen Ruobai didn't delay, and immediately turned around to check the situation and verify one of his conjectures.

"If the river is diverted, I might have a chance to find the ancient river channel." Chen Ruobai, who muttered to himself, analyzed, but he was also worried, "But if the ancient river channel is buried underground, I can't dig it all up. It's not worth it."

This is also a fact. Of course, even if Chen Ruobai found the ancient river channel, it doesn't mean that he can find gold immediately.It is simply unrealistic to dig out the entire ancient river channel.

Chen Ruobai wouldn't do such a thing, and now he doesn't have the financial resources to support such a huge project.

Now turn around and go directly downstream, Chen Ruobai has to make some judgments and verify his guess.

It doesn't matter even if gold is not found this time, as long as such a thing is verified, it can become a basis for Chen Ruobai's next prospecting.It doesn't have to be to find gold every time, it also depends on the long-term career development.

Walking slowly down the river, Chen Ruobai felt more and more that his judgment was correct, "I guessed so, there is almost no gold in the upper reaches. That is to say, the gold that was really washed out of the golden veins is not in the present Up this river!"

The river has changed its course, which is one of the key factors why Chen Ruobai has not been able to find gold along the river during this period of time.

Without gold, no matter how powerful Chen Ruobai's eyes are, it's useless!
"Scattered gold appears!" Chen Ruobai suddenly stopped, staring at the river in a daze, "This is the place, the river is diverted here. There is no gold in the upstream, and there are some shadows of gold here. It must be like this, now this road The river course is new!"

The confident Chen Ruobai made a firm judgment, and the biggest basis is naturally the distribution of gold.It is easy to see that it is not that Chen Ruobai has excellent geological knowledge, but that he can see gold, so he can have a reference!
There were some small excitements and some small excitements, Chen Ruobai felt that he had grown a lot.

But he is more aware of his identity as a gold digger. He is not a geologist, he will not be interested in topography and landforms, and he does not intend to study in-depth science of the development of the earth.

He came here to look for gold. Finding the ancient river course is nothing. Finding the possible gold in the ancient river course is the most important thing. This is also what Chen Ruobai cares most about.

If you can't find gold, everything is just empty talk. Gold diggers rely on gold to support their families. It's such a simple truth.

After marking on the map and simply marking the river, Chen Ruobai continued to go down the river.

"Let me just say, the river diverts its course here!" Looking at the golden light shining slightly in the river, Chen Ruobai smiled complacently, "Even if it's just an insignificant golden sand, it can prove that my judgment is correct!"

From time to time, you can see a little gold in the downstream, but basically you can't see gold in the upstream, which is very telling!

Even if there are other possibilities here, it's just that Chen Ruobai guessed that the probability of the river diverting is higher!
The golden light that appeared from time to time confirmed Chen Ruobai's guess that the river in front of him had changed its course countless times.The current river course, that is, there can be some gold in the middle and lower reaches, but it is unlikely that there will be gold in the upper reaches!
This can also save Chen Ruobai a lot of effort, he doesn't have to continue running upstream, and if he is looking for it, he is looking for the disappeared ancient river channel!
There is a little pride, a little pride.Regarding his own growth and progress, Chen Ruobai also felt complacent.

Every gold digger has his own gold panning secrets, or a summary of experience passed down from generation to generation of gold diggers.

The number of roads Chen Ruobai is walking now seems to be not much different from most gold diggers.There are many gold diggers looking for gold in river valleys and river channels, but Chen Ruobai and them also have some technical surprises.

He slowly drove the all-terrain vehicle towards the camp. Although he only went out to explore the mines and came back within two days, it was no problem.Prospecting is like this, with too many uncertainties.

Seeing Chen Ruobai came back, Dewei and the others didn't make a fuss, it was all normal.

But they were also expecting in their hearts, hoping that Chen Ruobai would bring back the good news that he had found a new mine.

This time they might be disappointed, Chen Ruobai was useless to bring back the good news of finding a new mine.But this is also normal, even if Chen Ruobai seems to be lucky and capable, it is impossible to find gold mines easily every time.

"I'm going to do an experiment, and I'm going to verify my conjecture!" Chen Ruobai said after taking a big sip of Fat House Happy Water, "Guys, standing in front of you is a supernova in the gold digging world! Geology expert, you will soon see how powerful he is!"

Regarding Chen Ruobai's narcissism and boasting, everyone seemed to have no intention of applauding, but they also didn't intend to laugh at it.

The reason is that such things are very common in the United States. Many people like to affirm themselves and exaggerate when they have nothing to do.

As long as Chen Ruobai is stinking good, he is willing to call himself a supernova, then he is a supernova, as long as Chen Ruobai himself recognizes it, and he is happy!
The rest don't matter at all, those 'titles' don't really matter.
