Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

In fact, when Zhao Qin first came here, he used the system's search function to see if he could find the place with the richest gold without the help of Old Wu.

But in the end he gave up because the search results were all over the place.

The system cannot give a hint as to which place has the highest gold content.

During this period, Kane often came to Zhao Qin's place to play, and of course he would eat a meal every time before leaving.

In the end, no one could tell whether this guy came to play with Zhao Qin or just wanted to eat for free.

Because every time he comes, the first thing he asks is whether we want to eat hotpot today.

It was another early morning, and the chill was clearly fading away. Zhao Qin had just gotten up when he heard a roar from the base.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he ran back in surprise, "Xiao Mei, you finally woke up."

As for hibernation, Xiaomei and her family should have ended it long ago. Perhaps because there was no shortage of food, the three of them were not very hungry and slept for a while longer.

Well, bears can be lazy too.

Although there was enough food, Xiaomei still lost weight. However, the two little ones were still plump.

Hearing Zhao Qin's voice, the two little ones were more excited than Xiaomei. They came forward first, then each grabbed one of Zhao Qin's legs and licked it with their tongues.

"Get out of here! You didn't even brush your teeth! It's disgusting."

The two little guys kicked each other lightly, and Zhao Qin walked up to Xiaomei and patted her on the head, "Are you hungry?"

Xiaomei screamed, Zhao Qin smiled, walked back to the base, and soon carried out a cow leg from the kitchen, which weighed more than 100 kilograms.

He threw it in front of Xiaomei and said, "Eat it. After you are full, you still have to help patrol the territory, understand?"

Li Gang got up and saw this scene. His mouth was wide open enough to swallow a goose egg. "Aqin, this bear... did you raise it?"

"Haha, almost."

"Oh my god, with such a big body, it can sit on someone to death with one move. Aren't you afraid?" Li Gang's eyes widened.

"It's okay, Xiaomei is very docile."

Watching Zhao Qin petting the bears, Li Gang actually wanted to pet them too, especially since the two little bears were so cute, but he really didn't dare to get close.

In the next two days, wherever Zhao Qin went, Xiaomei and her family of three followed him like little followers, which made Li Gang very envious. He also wanted to have three bodyguards like this.

By the end of March, Jiang Bing had already prepared all the equipment, and the necessary equipment had also arrived.

As for the helicopter, Zhao Qin finally decided not to buy one, mainly because helicopters can only be used for short-distance transportation and can only fly a few times a year.

Not to mention how much a helicopter costs, just to hire a pilot would cost over a million US dollars a year, which is not cost-effective.

Kane came again and told Zhao Qin that the real gold rush season was about to begin, and wished Zhao Qin all the best.

In fact, Zhao Qin has not been idle during this period. He has learned how to operate several important equipment. At this moment, he is operating the defrosting machine.

Just like plowing the land in his hometown, Arnold was breaking the slightly frozen cover, while he was operating the bulldozer, pushing the soil he had broken to the side.

They are working on the No. 3 material yard, which is also the best for batch testing.

One bad thing about this area is that the covering layer is a bit thick, about eight meters on average. According to Wu Xing's estimate, this material field is about 75 acres.

This means that all of the more than 70 acres of land have to be dug eight meters deeper.

Two bulldozers consume more than 50 liters of diesel per hour, plus two excavators and a defrosting machine.

This means that more than 100 liters of fuel are consumed every hour. Add to that the generators at the base, and 1000 liters of diesel are consumed every day.

The large oil tanker at the base has to go to town every five days.

This is before the screening and washing begins. Once the screening and washing begins, we will have to add the large trucks that transport the soil and the oil consumption of the screening and washing machines.

Anyway, any equipment in the base is a fuel guzzler.

Gold panning is not something that ordinary people can handle. Many people have gone bankrupt because of this.

Just as they were removing the covering layer from the No. 9 material yard, a large group of people arrived. The three brothers, plus the six people that Li Minghui helped to find, a total of people arrived.

Make the base more lively.

"Boss, should I learn Chinese?" Arnold was a little depressed because he was the only foreigner in the entire base except Joey.

Moreover, Joey could understand a little Chinese. Even Xiaomei's family in the back mountain seemed to be able to understand Chinese, except him.

"Haha, Arnold, don't worry, Ruan Cheng will always be here, so there's no need to worry about us not being able to communicate."

Arnold is a simple person, but Zhao Qin likes him quite a bit.

With the new force joining in, Zhao Qin had no chance to show off, because there were only so many devices.

Under the guidance of a master, Liu Jing inspected the gold separation equipment. After confirming that there was no problem, the master took over the job of refueling.

Although this job is relatively easy, it requires carefulness.

For example, how long the screening machine can run after one refueling and when it was last refueled should be clearly recorded. If you are not careful, the machine will stop working due to lack of oil.

If we add more energy at that time, it will affect the progress.

April 4th was a good day. The gray weather before was completely gone. When I woke up early in the morning, the sun was hanging high in the sky.

With the sunshine, the temperature continued to rise, and part of the permafrost melted, making the entire base a bit muddy.

On this day, Joey and Arnold each held a shotgun and fired several shots into the sky, which meant that the panning had officially begun from that day.

Two screening machines were in operation at the same time. Not counting Zhao Qin and Lao Wu, the team still had 12 people, which was considered a relatively large gold mining team in the area.

What made Kane envious was that these people who came were very disciplined and really did what they were told to do without any compromise.

Kane said that his team has alcoholics and drug addicts, and there are changes in personnel every once in a while.

Therefore, people often leave or are fired on their own initiative, and the team is always recruiting. If the team is unstable, then the proficiency of the work will definitely vary, which will greatly affect the efficiency.

Except for Arnold, almost all the people here are from China. They come here to make money.

According to Kane, one person here is more capable than two people on his team.

Zhao Qin just laughed after hearing this. In this regard, the discipline of the Chinese people is indeed impeccable.

Someone once said that one Chinese person is a dragon, but two Chinese people are worms. This is pure bullshit. When you learn more about foreign countries, you will find that there are very few people who are more disciplined than Chinese people.

Because of this understanding, Zhao Qin wanted to scold those public intellectuals, saying that they really treated the Chinese people as fools and fooled them at will.

Zhao Qin originally planned to work 10 hours a day, but he felt a little embarrassed to speak up.

But a senior worker named Zhu in the team objected when he heard that gold mining was only possible for five months a year.

Not to mention working 24 hours a day, you have to work at least 14 hours a day.

"Boss, don't let them have too much free time. If they have too much free time, they will have random thoughts. It's best to let them work until they fall asleep every day.

As for food, let’s make sure everyone eats better.”

"Uncle Zhu, this is much more tiring than being in China. I'm sure everyone will have some opinions."

Old Zhu's eyes widened, "If you have any opinions, come to me and tell me. Everyone comes out to make money, not to enjoy themselves?

If you want to enjoy yourself, go home as soon as possible, lie down every day and starve to death. "
