Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 92 Let's Start!

The snow that kept falling made Chen Ruobai know that he should get nervous, a layer of snow had already covered the area around the mine.In the past few days, there have been several snowfalls one after another. Although it is not a heavy snow or blizzard, snow has already appeared, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

"Brothers, we may not be able to continue working." Looking at the muddy bottom of the mine, Chen Ruobai said with some regret, "The weather is worse than I imagined, we have to hurry up."

Lesnar was not reconciled, and still said, "Robert, give me some more time, I saw gold!"

Hearing what Lesnar said, Chen Ruobai couldn't help laughing.Others still can't see a lot of gold, but it is still possible to see a gold ore in the ore occasionally.

Dick's voice also came from the intercom, worried, "I don't think this is a good suggestion. The river has already started to freeze, and there is already a thin layer of ice on the edge of the river bank. If we continue to wait, the situation will be even worse."

These situations are indeed quite bad, the most important thing is that the soil has also started to freeze, these are the worst things for Chen Ruobai and the others, this will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of their work.

Although I was very reluctant to part with it, it's just that gold mining is like this, and the factors constrained by the weather are too great.

Knowing that there is still a lot of gold here, everyone can't wait to dig them out in the next moment, but time is no longer allowed.

The best way is naturally to wait until next year to continue working, and now they can only continue to let them sleep in the sand.Anyway, they can't escape, at most they need to wait for a few months.

Chen Ruobai didn't hesitate anymore, and said, "Our first gold panning season is coming to an end, and tomorrow will be the last day of gold panning work. After work, everyone should get ready. Nathan and Javier will check the water pipes again." Pipes, real men are going to check the ore washing machine, we are going to start washing the ore!"

Chen Ruobai's arrangement also received enthusiastic response from everyone, although some were reluctant to leave such a rich mine.But for these gold diggers, only when they wash the mines can they know the real gains.

Even if you have a good hunch now, you don't know the result until the last moment. You don't know whether you have made money until you see the gold. Obviously, everyone knows this.

Although I have to work overtime temporarily, it seems that there is no problem.The busy and hard work of gold digging is about to end, all you need to do is stand on the last shift, and you just need to finish the work of washing the ore smoothly.

After finishing these things, it is natural to have time to enjoy life. There is no doubt about this, and this can be regarded as the unanimous judgment of everyone.

Chen Ruobai carefully walked around the ore washing machine a few times, carefully observing the condition of the ore washing machine.

Although covered with a thin layer of snow, it seems that the washing machine is in good condition.It is really necessary to check carefully, so as to ensure that the next washing work will not fail. The next work is very critical, and there must be no omissions.

Abigail came over in a hurry and said, "Robert, I checked our warehouse, we may be in trouble. If we wash the ore tomorrow, our oil can only last up to six hours."

Chen Ruobai immediately asked, "If you ask them to bring oil over, is it still too late?"

Abigail shrugged, it seemed that Chen Ruobai's question was a bit stupid.If it can still be delivered as usual, it will not be a problem, and things are indeed not so smooth.

After all, the mine is in the wilderness, and now there is some snow and the roads are muddy. It is not easy to expect door-to-door delivery.It can also be said that the delivery is OK, but the price is a little higher, and the timeliness cannot be guaranteed.

"If it's only six hours, I think it's barely enough, as long as we don't waste fuel." Chen Ruobai thought about it carefully, and said, "Then ask everyone to do their jobs well. I think our running-in will be fine long ago. , we have enough tacit understanding."

Chen Ruobai is quite confident about this, he believes that the team can handle these small problems well.

Thinking of something, Chen Ruobai asked, "Our snow tires and snow chains are all in the warehouse, right?"

Abigail said confidently, "Of course, this is Alaska. I will never forget this. We are all ready."

These things really need to be prepared in advance, otherwise it may be difficult to leave the mine.

Although there is a small problem, there is no big problem. As long as everyone works together, these small problems can definitely be overcome.Panning for gold is not that easy, and you need to constantly solve these problems, large or small.

Devi and Lesnar also started to act, driving the excavator out of the mine.Although there is a lot of reluctance, it is just that there is no way to continue mining the ore now, and now I have to wash out the ore that is like a hill in front of me.

"We don't have much oil reserves, so we can't transport the waste after ore washing to the waste area now." Chen Ruobai said the situation, "We will solve these problems next year, and now we must hurry up and save oil."

This problem is not too big. Everyone has been panning for gold for half a year, and they all have some experience. They know that fuel can be saved even more when fuel is insufficient.A little more preparation in the early stage is enough, and a little more carefulness is enough.

The ore pile has also been carefully inspected. Basically, there are no problems, and the next work can be smoothly advanced.

Dick also came back and checked the pipes carefully. Everything was fine, and that seemed to be enough.

"Tomorrow we will start washing the mines, and end our exciting but successful gold rush season." Although it was already late at night, Chen Ruobai said vigorously, "We have all made money this year, so we can enjoy the next season better." Down to life! Hunting, vacationing, or studying."

Dick raised his hand and joked, "I came to the team too late, although my salary seems to be good, but obviously there is no way for me to spend this time easily, I can't be like you, I still need to find a job."

"Our current cooperation is very good, and your ability has been recognized by everyone." Chen Ruobai formally issued an invitation, "If you are still willing to work here in April next year, I will provide you with a position."

Dick smiled, "This is good news. I can make more money by participating in the gold rush season next year. Maybe I can also enjoy a happy vacation with my family after the gold rush season like you."

Maybe, as long as you participate in the complete gold rush season, you can really get a relatively generous salary and bonus.There may be some problems in wanting to be rich, but as long as Chen Ruobai maintains a normal level of performance, people like Dick have a higher income than the middle class, so there shouldn't be much problem.

Trying to make more money is also the common goal of everyone, which is why everyone works hard in the wilderness.

The work of laundering mines is not difficult. Except for Dick, everyone has experienced it more or less, and naturally they all know what to do.

Lesnar was curious and asked, "Robert, how much gold do you think we can launder?"

"I think there may be a hundred ounces." Devi said immediately, "The quality of the ore we dug out at the beginning was not high, and there was too little gold there, which seriously affected our harvest. If it is the next three days Ore, our harvest will be higher."

This is the special feature of ore washing. It is not measured by the amount of ore washed, nor is it determined by the working hours.The most important thing is how much gold is in the ore, which is very critical.

For some mineral sands with relatively low gold content, one or two ounces can be washed out in an hour, which is not bad.And some mineral sand can wash out more than five ounces. In the final analysis, the quality of the mineral sand determines everything.After several months of washing in the mud, gold cannot be washed out.

Chen Ruobai thought for a while, and made an estimate based on the observed golden light, "About 150 ounces, this is a figure I'm looking forward to. As you said, the quality of the ore in the early stage was not high, which seriously affected our harvest. "

For the number reported by Chen Ruobai, everyone felt a little surprised and quite pleasantly surprised.

To be honest, this number is not too much. Everyone has worked here for a month and a half to gain so little, which is almost 'making ends meet'.

But think about the ore that was dug out in the early stage, and the real high-quality ore that has just been dug out now, and there is still a thick layer of ore in the pit.This also means that when you come to the gold rush next year, everyone is bound to make a lot of money.

The ore washing this time is actually an experimental ore washing. It will let everyone know how good this new mine is, and let everyone know whether they can get rich overnight here.

Whether it is a rich mine, a relatively mediocre mine, or a barren gold mine, the result will be known tomorrow.

Everyone was very excited because the mine was going to be washed.This is the case for gold diggers. Ordinary sand mining is the daily life. What is really exciting and expected is obviously the moment of mining. This is the moment that makes people excited.

Usually Chen Ruobai would wake up a little later, but this time it was obviously different.He is also very excited and looking forward to it, so he doesn't need mobilization from others, he will get up early.

It seems that everyone is in the same mood, waiting for the moment when the answer will be revealed. This is a moment of expectation and tension.

Chen Ruobai couldn't help laughing, "It seems that everyone is ready, so let's start. Pay attention to fuel consumption, and be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time, let's start!"
