Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 99 Accumulation
Dawson has kind eyes and kind eyes, a very friendly look, and also has a little pride, as if he is Bole.

"Robert Chen, one of the best gold diggers." Clearing his throat, Dawson introduced Chen Ruobai to the people around him, "He found [-] ounces of gold in the gold rush season that has ended, he is Phil Banksy's finest gold digger."

For this achievement, many gold diggers will look sideways.Everyone works in this field, so they naturally know how rare [-] ounces of gold are. This is definitely an extremely enviable achievement.

Dawson went on to say, "This is his first gold rush season, but he's achieved heights that most people can't reach."

These real achievements are the most convincing. It is obvious that Chen Ruobai's achievements immediately made the gold diggers express their respect.This is not a kid, even if he may have some luck, but the gold is there, and the harvest can explain everything, which is the most enviable thing for everyone.

A more formal and natural handshake, as well as a nod and a pat on the shoulder, Chen Ruobai has expanded his circle of contacts now, and has more contacts with the gold diggers in Alaska.

Although this does not mean that Chen Ruobai has become famous among the gold digger circles in Alaska, but in the area of ​​Anchorage, Chen Ruobai's reputation will soon spread in the gold rush circle.

"Now only some middle-aged and elderly people are willing to come here." Morgan wiped the corner of his mouth, and said to Chen Ruobai, "I came here when I was young, and I was close to bankruptcy. I made a bet, and I really went bankrupt."

Dawson next to him smiled and said, "I took him in and let him work in my mine. He worked for me for several years, and then he started panning for gold himself. There have been many failures, but he has been persevering and has been on the brink of bankruptcy."

Morgan didn't care, and said with a smile, "This is the charm of gold mining. You don't know whether you will make a lot of money or go bankrupt. I always think I can find a bigger gold mine, although I haven't been able to find it in the past 20 years." , but my life goes on, I have a family, children, and I believe good luck will come."

John Morris also patted Chen Ruobai on the shoulder, jokingly said, "So he is always on the verge of bankruptcy, he believes that he will make a fortune, just like us. Everyone who comes to Alaska to seek gold is like this, believing that he is the next Lucky."

Everyone does have this kind of thinking, believing that they are indeed lucky, but whether they can make a fortune is hard to say.

Morgan was a little curious and had to put down his airs, "Robert, they said that you found four gold mines during the gold rush season. It's hard for me to understand your harvest. We can get rich if we can find one gold mine."

"The situation is different. I only found a rich mine." Chen Ruobai explained, "And the mining difficulty of those gold mines is relatively low, so I made some money. I have always hoped to find a mine that can work for a year or two years." big gold mines, but it's not easy and I'm not capable of doing that."

It's not just Chen Ruobai who has this distress, but other gold diggers are also the same, always looking for new mines.

Morgan continued to ask, "Even if it's a small mine, it doesn't matter, as long as you can find gold, it's enough. Do you have any tricks?"

Chen Ruobai pointed to Dawson, and then said, "I will choose to pan for gold in the river, I think there is more gold there. Every time I find a place where I think there is gold, I will do a lot of experiments, and I will decide whether I will do it after testing." Start working. Experiment with ten or one hundred mining areas, maybe I can find gold."

Chen Ruobai's statement made Morgan and others quite disappointed, because other gold diggers also followed the same pattern.It is to find some areas with more gold, and then conduct a small sample test, and then confirm and start work.

There is no gold content in this. Could it be that the kid found four gold mines just because of luck?

While Chen Ruobai was chatting with several mine owners, Dewei couldn't stay idle, chatting with some miners.Everyone is working in the mine, and they are all panning for gold, so naturally they can have some common topics.

"The thing I hate the most in the mine is to check the fuel filter element. We didn't have a mechanic before, so I can only be a rookie like me." Devi complained, and said, "There are also cleaning the filter screen of the hydraulic oil tank and the turbocharger. Check cleaning, I hate jobs that are dirty and grueling and make me look like an auto mechanic."

Lesnar asked at this time, "I have too little experience in driving an excavator. Many times I feel that the bucket has dug rocks and cannot be full. You have worked in the mine for a long time. Do you have any skills?"

These are probably the most important reasons for coming to the bar where gold diggers like to party this time. Here you can exchange ideas and get some experience from your peers.

Although many of these experience talks are relatively superficial, they are not secret books.However, if you simply rely on your own groping, it will take a lot of effort, and you may have to take some detours.

After gathering with these gold diggers, Chen Ruobai returned to his residence.Right now, I just know them. If we want to talk about the deep friendship, it is obviously out of the question. Let's get along slowly and see if we can get more help.

However, Chen Ruobai was also lamenting that gold diggers in Alaska are generally middle-aged and elderly.Young people naturally have them too, but relatively speaking, there are relatively few of them. Obviously, young people prefer decent jobs and the prosperity of big cities.

Dirty and tiring in the mines, you may be able to make a lot of money, which is the biggest attraction, but making a lot of money may not necessarily be achieved.

What's more, the life in the mine is too boring, which is the main reason why young people don't have much interest in working in the mine.

You can't just expand your social circle to middle-aged and elderly people, but fortunately, Chen Ruobai has his own circle of friends, so he doesn't need to worry about being out of place for the time being, and his life is still very interesting.

The biggest advantage of the end of the gold rush season is that Chen Ruobai now has a lot of time, too much time to manage by himself, he even looks like a vagrant, he seems to have no job.

It's no big deal to be at home all day, and Chen Ruobai has no sense of urgency about it.

Chen Ruobai, who studied the map carefully, drew out several key areas, which are just the key areas for the preliminary screening. Next, the data of these key areas will be collected to prepare for the next gold rush season.

"The river, the river is the focus of my attention." Chen Ruobai was in a good mood, looking at the red circles on the map with pride, "I'm looking for gold in these areas, the probability must be relatively high."

This is Chen Ruobai's heartfelt words, he believes in his own judgment and decision-making.Even if the experience is slightly lacking, but no matter what, Chen Ruobai has accumulated some experience, and if he cooperates with his own ability, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Devi called and said enthusiastically, "Robert, you can bring Da Zhuang to training now!"

This naturally refers to sled dog training for Da Zhuang, which is very professional.

Sleds are an extremely important tool in Alaska, and the earliest records of training sled dogs have been from a tribe of Eskimos.In the process of using sled dogs, they can also be used to hunt animals such as polar bears and wolves.

Nearly 100 years ago, it was a dog-drawn sled team that set off from the small town of Ninana in Alaska to Nome, and it took five days to transport blood plasma over 1000 kilometers to prevent the outbreak of diphtheria.

So now every year on the first Saturday in March, the best dog mushers all over the world, it's to commemorate this great event.

Chen Ruobai set off, and set off with Da Zhuang.Chen Ruobai couldn't raise more than a dozen sled dogs, and naturally he couldn't compete with some professional sled dog teams.

He didn't plan to participate in the competition to win the tens of thousands of dollars in championship prize money, but he could fully experience the fun of dog sledding.

Although Da Zhuang is a little fat, he is also very active.Although being put on a rope made it a little uncomfortable, the initial training also caused the whole team's sled dogs to lose their rhythm because of Da Zhuang's presence.

But Chen Ruobai didn't care about these things, he just watched happily, hoping that Da Zhuang could make some progress.

Devi looked at Da Zhuang, who performed poorly, and said seriously, "It can't be the leader dog, it doesn't have the ability to lead the team. It should be ranked in the sixth team, the leader dog needs to control the rhythm and direction, Da Zhuang doesn't have it Such ability."

Lesnar said, "I think you can be in the second team, and you also need to control the direction at the end of the team. The most suitable job for Da Zhuang is to contribute, and it has great strength."

It is impossible to do technical work, so the unanimous opinion of everyone is to let Da Zhuang be responsible for his efforts.

Chen Ruobai, who enjoyed it, led Da Zhuang to train for two days, which can be regarded as a taste, and this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Chen Ruobai, who answered Seattle again, is continuing to study hard. He wants to board the plane early and learn how to drive a helicopter early.

Helicopters are obviously not omnipotent, but Chen Ruobai knows that helicopters can help him work more efficiently.As long as you can work efficiently, this is enough, and these are the most critical.

Chen Ruobai's life is still enjoyable, he enjoys his current state very much.Working for half a year and resting for half a year, this is what he thinks is the most ideal state of life. These are also the life and work he once dreamed of.

Chen Ruobai also knew that he was still improving during this period, and some things might not seem to have changed significantly.But in such continuous accumulation, it may be that quantitative changes have caused qualitative changes.

In the final analysis, it still needs continuous accumulation, which is the most important thing.Without accumulation, how can there be progress!
