Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 80 Site Construction
The vacation was short, but it was enough for Chen Ruobai and others.It's not a serious vacation now, as long as they relax a little bit, they will naturally need to get into work immediately.

For Chen Ruobai, the good news is that the manager Thomas has completed all the procedures.It can be said that it was very timely, Chen Ruobai and the others were able to smoothly start the preparatory work for the mining area.

Driving a pickup truck to lead the way, the slightly muddy road is a bit uncomfortable.But that's part of the job at the mine, and it's not bad here, at least cars can drive in.

"The road here will definitely be crushed." Looking at the truck carrying the excavator in the rearview mirror, Chen Ruobai couldn't help worrying, "The light rain now makes it difficult to walk. I just couldn't see it."

Even though he said so, Chen Ruobai had no better way, he could only lead the large army to move forward.

Dewei, Lesnar and the others also followed closely by car, basically they have never been to this area, and they did not expect Chen Ruobai to find gold here.The further we went into the valley, the more everyone seemed to feel that the work this time was not easy.

Abigail, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said to Devi, "It seems that this time the gold rush is not easy, we are far away from the river."

"We will definitely need a lot of water to wash the ore, and we will have to lay a long pipeline." Devi said, "I don't think the biggest challenge is these. This is a valley area and it is relatively close to the town. The Environmental Protection Agency will definitely Come here often."

Abigail didn't speak anymore. She also understood these things, and those organizations were really difficult to deal with.

It is difficult to deal with and there is no way to do it. You can only mine well, otherwise there will definitely be some troubles.

And Dick looked around, counting the time, "We are two hours away from the town by car, and it will be inconvenient if we want to purchase fuel in the future. We need to store fuel in the warehouse, right?"

"Normally, we will prepare three days of storage in advance, so the safety of the warehouse is very important." Montgomery said with a smile, "Our funds are relatively abundant, and Robert will handle these tasks."

Dick joked, "What I'm worried about now is whether I can do this job well. I'm not a professional maintenance technician."

Montgomery naturally had no choice but to encourage Dick's concerns.He believes that his cousin is qualified for the job, but after working in the mine for a while, he also knows that the work here is not easy.

If you want to get this job, you will naturally need to put in more effort, and you must go all out to ensure that you will not be eliminated.

The convoy was driving on the narrow valley road, and suddenly the eyes opened up, and it was also the destination.

Chen Ruobai stopped the car, jumped out of the car, and directed the convoy to stop and start unloading.

"The living area is close to the inside!" Chen Ruobai patted the front cover of the car and said to a driver, "Drive the car inside, we need to stay away from the intersection, otherwise it will affect our work."

The driver didn't say much, he just drove towards the open space, and unloaded in the area designated by Chen Ruobai.

Devi and Lesnar drove the excavator down, and Montgomery came to Chen Ruobai, "I took a look at the terrain here, and our biggest problem is that the space for activities is relatively limited, and the various layouts of the mine will be very compact."

Chen Ruobai also nodded and said, "According to the requirements of the Mining Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau, we can't build living areas on the valley roads, and we can't damage the roads. So we can only do it here. My idea is that the warehouses and living areas should be closer together."

Montgomery nodded and said, "I think it's okay. What I'm worried about now is the waste area. There's not enough space here."

When it comes to this, Chen Ruobai naturally has some worries, this is a real problem.

Although it seems that the area here is not small, but in addition to the mining area, there is also a living area, an ore storage area, and a buffer zone.The most important thing is that the gold is buried relatively deep this time, which also means that a lot of waste soil will be dug out.

These waste soils can't just be dumped in a random place. After the mining work is over, they still have to be backfilled.If he didn't do this, the Environmental Protection Agency would definitely trouble Chen Ruobai and issue a fine.

Pointing to the intersection of the valley, Chen Ruobai said, "We also need to pay attention over there. If we want to wash mines, the water pipes must be laid from there. Although few people come here, we still need to pay attention to safety."

"Clinging to the edge of the valley, we can only do this." Montgomery gave his own thoughts, "Is the river far from here?"

Chen Ruobai spread his hands, and said rather depressedly, "If the river didn't change its course suddenly, we would need to lay three miles of pipelines to bring the water in. And the problem now is our domestic water, and we can only save it."

This is really a place that doesn't shit. If it wasn't for gold mining here, no one would really want to come here, let alone work here. In short, there are all kinds of inconveniences.

It is inconvenient and there is no other way, and now I can only try to find a way to overcome all kinds of inconvenience.

"Javier!" Now is not the time to chat, Chen Ruobai suddenly shouted, "Hurry up and level the living area with Ryan, we have to build the prefabricated house quickly!"

Lesnar and Devi also acted immediately, driving the excavator forward to level the living area.

Now is not the time to start mining immediately. If you don’t do the preparatory work well, your life and work will be in trouble.

Chen Ruobai was not idle at this time, he was directing Devi and Lesnar to level the site, and also directing the workers who built the prefabricated houses to start working. These things had to be done in advance.

"Today is definitely too late. Our living quarters will be initially completed tomorrow." Chen Ruobai looked at the messy construction site in front of him, with a smile on his face, "Guys, let's go back and continue working tomorrow."

Of course, everyone has no objection. Although it takes two or three hours to drive, it is indeed inconvenient to go back and forth, but it is not realistic to sleep in the wilderness now.What's more, after returning to the town, it's not just a simple rest.

I came here today just to bring in large-scale equipment and do some of the simplest pre-construction work.

There is still a lot of follow-up work to be done. This is definitely not something that can start mining immediately, and it still needs a process.

At the end of a hard day's work, everyone can also have a drink at the bar.This is not a high-end bar. Such bars are also common in small towns, just for residents, loggers, drivers and others to have a drink and have fun at night.

Lesnar knocked on the bar and said to the bartender, "Are there a lot of gold diggers here?"

The female bartender with a good figure and indescribable appearance said while busy pouring wine, "There are not many gold panning teams now. There were many gold panning people here a few years ago. I was listening to gold panning stories when I was very young. Now Fewer and fewer."

An old man sitting next to him said, "The current gold rush team can only look for those abandoned mines, and it is difficult for them to find new main mines. It has been too long, and we have not heard any exciting news. Flooded into Alaska to pan for gold."

These seem to be true too. Many gold digging teams now, like Chen Ruobai, are looking for some 'leftovers'.It would be nice to be able to find five hundred ounces or a thousand ounces in gold rush season.

The old man was a little curious, and pointed to Chen Ruobai and the others, "I noticed you, this team is very young. Now there are very few young gold digging teams, and your team doesn't seem to have any old guys."

"Our team originally had an old guy, but he didn't like us." Lesnar continued, "So we were given up by him, and now he may regret it."

The old man just smiled, noncommittal to Lesnar's statement.If it was him, he would also give up this young team.

As for the female bartender, she didn't even bother to look at Lesnar. She was used to all kinds of horny men looking for her to chat with, and there was never a shortage of all kinds of people who could brag, and many lies were also very clumsy.

Chen Ruobai joked, "Rui En must fail, he should chat with us instead of trying to pick up girls."

"He is hurrying up. If he goes to work in the mine, he can only see women other than me one day a week." Abigail said gloatingly, "Our current mining environment is very difficult, and he even No way to watch TV, no way to see what the girls in the San Fernando Valley do."

The San Fernando Valley is a place that fascinates many people, and there are many artists in the island country.In the United States, the San Fernando Valley can be regarded as a symbol, and this is also the Hollywood of alternative works.

When this topic is mentioned, everyone is also interested, and it seems that they are all 'well-informed' people.

After drinking and chatting, everyone returned to the hotel to rest.In fact, it's just a motel, so it's not very good conditions, but at least it's good enough to rest in peace.

Waking up in the morning, Chen Ruobai said while eating breakfast, "You guys go to the mine first, and the house in the living area must be built today. We will not come back today. I and the Abby area receive supplies, our generators, The wires are all ready."

If there is no electricity, then the diesel generator is fine, and it is enough for the living area to use.

Now that we are going to set up camp, it means that everyone needs to be more fully prepared. In the new mine, everyone must be prepared to 'take root', because maybe everyone needs to work and live in that place for a very long time.

If the environment is not good, then we should work hard to overcome it and continuously improve it, that's the only way to go.
