Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 63 The sense of urgency

There is no need to worry about the new mine, as long as everyone enters the site in an orderly manner, the work can be carried out in an orderly manner.

Chen Ruobai made a trip to Anchorage to exchange the gold into checks, which was a big deal in the first place.On the other hand, you also need to accompany your girlfriend. Work and life are very important, and it is best to go hand in hand.

Selena was also very happy to see Chen Ruobai, "The mining team is done?"

"The mine in Hedao has been completed, and now we are busy transitioning." Chen Ruobai smiled and said about the situation, "This time I came here to exchange a check, and I need to cash out the gold."

This is good news, Selena blinked her big eyes, "Then can I order a snow crab?"

This is of course no problem, snow crab crab meat is particularly sweet, and there is a lot of catch in Alaska.The price is not as expensive as king crab, but it is not much cheaper. It is considered a relatively expensive seafood.

In the United States, even some seaside people are not free to treat bolong and king crab, and they are not so cheap.

While eating the crab legs, Chen Ruobai said, "I want you to help me find some information in the school library. I want to know more detailed and specific information about the topography and landforms of Alaska."

Selena looked at Chen Ruobai and said jokingly, "This is not a simple matter. Although I am not a geologist, I understand that sometimes a river can have hundreds of pages of information."

"I understand, but in order to find the gold, I can only do this." Chen Ruobai said honestly, "I not only want to entrust you to help me find some information, but I also want to contact some professional companies. They may have more detailed information. For maps and survey data."

Selena was noncommittal. Although there are indeed a lot of books and materials in the university, it is not necessarily more detailed than some companies.

Chen Ruobai continued, "Especially those river basins where gold mines have been found, I am very concerned about these."

Selena nodded, but then asked, "What about my reward?"

Chen Ruobai was not unhappy either, such things are too common in the United States.Don't say it's just boyfriend and girlfriend now, even between husband and wife, sometimes these things have to be clearly distinguished, which naturally means that Chen Ruobai can't just think about whoring for nothing.

Chen Ruobai said with a smile at this time, "I can pay you five hundred dollars a week, but you need to ensure that the collected information is valid. I will also consider giving bonuses, this is my payment for information."

Selena had no objection, she felt that such an arrangement was quite good, so naturally she readily accepted such a proposal.

Chen Ruobai didn't just talk about it casually, he did have more ideas and wanted to find more gold.

Naturally, more preparations have to be made, and only with more adequate preparations can there be a chance to find more gold.Don't fight uncertain battles, all of this is Chen Ruobai's most real thought now, he won't just rely on his ability to go to the river to try his luck.

Targeted prospecting, so that we have the opportunity to have more discoveries.At this stage only a few 'offcuts' have been found, just sporadic deposits of gold pulsed from the main mine.

Although these can also make Chen Ruobai earn some money, but this is not all Chen Ruobai's pursuit, he also wants to find more gold, he wants to find a real gold mine!

It's pretty comfortable in Anchorage, and dating Selena is naturally very sweet.

It's not just a sweet date, there's a lot of business to be done.Apart from collecting some information from Selena's side, Chen Ruobai also went to visit a few brokers and inquired carefully about the distribution of the mines.

Some old gold diggers also want to ask, even though Chen Ruobai is just a fledgling, but at least he has some achievements, so he can't be regarded as a complete rookie.Coupled with Dawson's recommendation, Chen Ruobai can also develop his own contacts.

After three days in a row, Chen Ruobai rushed back to Fairbanks with some unfulfilled intentions, and finished his business and personal affairs.

Driving on the muddy mountain road, Chen Ruobai couldn't help but want to complain, it was another heavy rain.

It is certain that it will affect the work, and there is no need to doubt it at all.Fortunately, although it has some influence, if you overcome it, there should be no big problem, and everyone will not rest.

When you arrive at the mine, the first thing you need to do is to distribute money to everyone.These checks are the ones that can mobilize everyone's enthusiasm the most. No matter how many big cakes are drawn, it will be of no use.

After distributing the money, Chen Ruobai began to inspect the mine with great enthusiasm. These tasks are also very important.

Looking at the excavator in front of him, Chen Ruobai asked strangely, "Why did it stop here?"

"The engine filter needs to be changed." Devi explained, "Father is also going to change the oil in the engine oil pan, so I can only drive the machine over."

Then there is nothing to say, this is also one of the items of daily maintenance.If you want the machine to stay in good condition, these maintenances are naturally very important.

Devi also pointed to some ore sand in front of him, and said with some distaste, "This is the most soil-containing ore sand since our gold panning. We used to dig river sand, but now there is a lot of mud."

Chen Ruobai also agreed with this statement, and it was indeed the case before. Even if these were the backfill areas of the previous mine pits, there were a lot of ore sand and soil.

Chen Ruobai followed along and asked, "The difficulty of mining here is not high, is it?"

Devi didn't agree with this statement, pointing to the mine pit in front of him and said, "Originally we had the same idea as you, thinking that this is the former mine backfill area, and it would be very easy to work. But look there, there are a lot of wooden strips, wooden sticks, and we dug a lot of stakes."

Having said that, Chen Ruobai naturally understood that the difficulty of the construction this time was not so simple.It seems to be a backfill area, but there are a lot of sundries inside, which is also a test for everyone.

Devi also continued, "And now it has just rained, and the soil is sticking together. We want to increase the difficulty of the initial screening, so we can only pile them aside first."

Frowning slightly, Chen Ruobai didn't say much, he could only walk towards the ore pile on the muddy road.After a cursory look, I feel that the harvest is barely satisfactory. Although the ore sand looks very inconspicuous, the gold content is still acceptable.

As long as there is gold in it, everything else can be overcome a little bit.What's more, at that time, the mining machine must be working, and now there is no need to pan for gold again, so naturally it will be a lot easier, and some things don't need to be taken care of.

The big excavator is now being maintained, and the small excavator is working continuously. Only when the ore is dug out can there be a chance to make money.

Devi pointed to the ore in front of him and said, "Have you contacted the engineering vehicle yet?"

"It must be done, this is not an easy job." Chen Ruobai had no choice but to wash the ore this time and transport the ore to the river, "The ore here is not too much, and it will take a few days to get enough for the ore washing Ore."

Cleaning the mine once a week is also Chen Ruobai's current plan.In fact, if it wasn't for the agreement with Dawson, Chen Ruobai would have liked to wash the mines once a month. After all, he has some savings now, so he doesn't need to rely on washing the mines to maintain the mining operation.

There are quite a lot of things, but everything is within the normal range, and there is not much to worry about now.

It seems that I really don't need to keep an eye on the mine all the time, I just need to come and walk around at a specific moment.

This should be pretty good, as it can give me more time and work more efficiently, which can also make my life more fulfilling and interesting.

What's more, he still needs to study hard and improve. Chen Ruobai is now thinking about enrolling in the class, and also thinking about some things to continue to improve his professional knowledge, all of which are for better development in the future.

Next, let's continue to look for the mine. The new mine is already under construction, and it is getting closer and closer to digging out here. There must be a sense of urgency.
