Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 61

While eating barbecue and drinking wine, Chen Ruobai couldn't help but said with emotion, "Although the environment in the camp is not very good, the conditions here are much better than when I camp alone!"

Devi was curious and concerned, "Why did you come back early? I thought you found gold, so you came back three days early."

"There may be no gold ahead. I observed the river carefully. It may be that the river has changed its course." Chen Ruobai explained, "I need to find the ancient river instead of continuing to search for gold that does not exist in the current river."

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, everyone could understand it, and they didn't think there was something wrong with Chen Ruobai's decisions.

Dewei and the others who worked with Chen Ruobai knew that Chen Ruobai liked to look for gold in the river.Although Roy started working with him not long ago, this experienced gold digger also knows that some people are looking for ancient river channels when they are looking for ore.

These are all normal things, it is not so easy to pan for gold.It is obviously unrealistic to just find an open space and start digging. If it is so simple and rude, the gold mining industry will really be abolished, and it will be impossible to make money.

"I'm going to look for the ancient river channel. If the ancient river channel can be found out, I may continue to search for gold along the ancient river channel." Chen Ruobai also said his own thoughts, "If the ancient river channel is too difficult to excavate, we may have to Change to another mine.”

Roy said at this time, "I can give you some advice. I know that there are gold mines near some rivers."

Chen Ruobai naturally would not refuse such a thing, collecting information is very important to him.Even if there are only some superficial preparations, there is only incomplete data collection and collation.But no matter what, these things need to be constantly improved, even if the gold rush season is over, Chen Ruobai will not really be idle.

Or because I just entered this field this year, many things can only be rushed to the shelves, and I can only hope that the ship will be straight when it arrives at the bridge.And next year's gold rush season will definitely not be as hasty as it is now.

Abigail said at this time, "Then you can wait for another two days, maybe we will start mining. Many of our items have already been shipped to the new mine, and the reserves of living materials and oil are there. "

"The direction of the diversion of the river is not far from here, and I can come back every day." Chen Ruobai continued to explain, "It will not delay the ore washing. I know that everyone is full of expectations for the next ore washing, and so am I!"

Everyone is naturally full of expectations for the matter of mining, which means that money can be credited.

Montgomery asked curiously, "If you are looking for ancient river channels, what tools do you need?"

"I definitely don't need a large machine right now, I'm just looking for some clues and circled the area." Chen Ruobai could only explain, "Maybe it's a shovel, and I'll bring a hammer. If necessary, I'll call for backup, but it doesn't look like it needs to be now." These."

There is really no need to do this now, just find some clues at this stage.It is more important than anything else to circle the forks of the ancient river. These may even be an inch-by-inch investigation. This is not an easy task.

In fact, Chen Ruobai also had some expectations. If he found a fork in the ancient river, there must be a river bend there.It also means that there is very likely to be gold there, and it is worthwhile for Chen Ruobai to spend some effort to find the traces.

Everything is for work, and everything is for earning more money, things are that simple for Chen Ruobai.

Everyone has long adapted to working in the mine, and there are many things that Chen Ruobai doesn't need to care about at all.They all know what to do and how to maintain the normal order of the mine, so there is no need to worry about production and life.

As long as everything is in order, Chen Ruobai can continue to search for mines in a down-to-earth manner.These are the things he cares about, and the others don't necessarily need to worry about.It is better to wait for some important moments to preside over the overall situation, such as when washing ore.

It may also be that when some unexpected accidents arise, it is enough to make some decisions.

Because it was relatively close to the camp, this time Chen Ruobai just took a light car and simply carried a few items with him.

When he arrived at the previously marked spot, Chen Ruobai planned to investigate inch by inch, looking for any clues left by the ancient river.

"If there is any river section where the ground is uplifting or sinking, then I basically have nothing to do." Chen Ruobai looked around, and his heart was beating, "The buried ancient river course is the most difficult for me, especially the kind that The ancient river channel buried under the mountain is even more helpless."

I hope my luck is better this time, and it must not be the kind of ancient river channel that is buried deep.

Chen Ruobai, who started to work hard, has his own basis for judgment, which is based on the distribution of gold he found before.But now he is looking for associated river bed deposits, and wants to judge the direction of the ancient river channel through the distribution of river stones.

This is not something that can be done overnight, and these are not things that can be investigated clearly at once. It may take more time, or it may be a mistake in judgment and you will have to look back and find it again.

All these are very possible things, but all these difficulties did not stop Chen Ruobai from moving forward.He is not afraid of making mistakes, but he is afraid that he does not have enough determination and perseverance. He only needs to work hard.

After a whole morning's work, Chen Ruobai roughly found the associated riverbed of the ancient river channel, which seemed to be in good condition.

However, in the process of making persistent efforts in the afternoon, Chen Ruobai discovered that the accompanying river bed had disappeared after digging.

It is obvious that Chen Ruobai has found the wrong direction, and he needs to follow some traces to find the correct direction of the associated river bed.These things can't be up to him whether he is willing or not, these are all things that must be done.

Chen Ruobai, with a sore back, looked at the bare sand, gravel and soil on the riverbed, and thought that he could find the right direction by following these clues, but it was not easy, if he was not careful, he might go the wrong way, and it would be a waste of time. I have strength.

Although he took some small detours, Chen Ruobai quickly corrected his mistakes and then moved on to the right path.

Continuing to dig like this, Chen Ruobai was sure that he basically found the associated river bed, and now he was heading towards the direction of the ancient river channel.If there is no accident, the ancient river channel that has disappeared for a long time will soon be found.

Just digging, Chen Ruobai realized something was not right, and felt deeply helpless.

Because the deeper the digging, the ancient river channel was really buried underground.What's more terrible, the place where the ancient river extends is towards the direction of the forest. Looking at the hillside in front of him, Chen Ruobai knew that his ambitious exploration trip had basically failed.

Being able to find the ancient river course is naturally something to be happy about, but the reality is that if you want to continue to explore, then it will really be a mountain, and the process will be a bit heavy.

If you can find gold, that's all. If you dig a mountain, you dig a mountain, that's nothing.But now there is no trace of gold, and the specific direction of the ancient river is not clear. To use large machinery now is a waste of fuel and time.

Then what else is there to say, that is, it is simply that this journey of exploration has ended without a disease, it is that simple.It is not cost-effective to continue searching, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the investment and return are too low, and the risk is too great.

Resolutely giving up is also considered one of Chen Ruobai's excellent qualities, he didn't plan to hit his head and bleed to see the reality clearly.

Giving up this choice and looking for a new one, Chen Ruobai felt that he might go to a new river to look for gold.

But before that, Chen Ruobai had to start a new mine.This means that basically all the gold in the water pool has been dug out, and the work of such a small gold nest has completely entered the final stage.

This is a big event, and many people are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this bad moment.
