C1547

It took more than an hour to get to the mining area that Jones said. Xiao Peng and Amelia were bumping in the plane, but it was very hard.

After getting off the plane, Xiao Peng saw the whole gold mine.

Here, beside a stream, there are many large machinery, vehicles, two small planes and several container houses. On the ground, a huge pit with a depth of more than 10 meters has been dug.

But there is no mechanical roar in the imagination. Now several people are gathered in front of a machine.

"What happened?" Jones opened the door and exclaimed.

No one answered, but a young man in a cowboy hat answered his question: "Damn it! The generator is broken! "

"What?" Jones widened his eyes. "Fix it quickly."

"Boog is drinking tea!" Said the young man in a cowboy hat.

"This damned Englishman!" Jones said angrily

Xiao Peng just helped Amelia get off the plane. Jones explained to them, "our mechanic is Homer. His wife has children to accompany us. So we hired a British mechanic. The damned one has to drink tea at this time every day. No matter what happens, he won't be in charge of it."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng laughed. No matter where they go, this Englishman always wants to be a "gentleman", so is machinist. For them, the best way to keep a gentleman is to drink tea.

At present, there are electric teapots in British tanks, that is, tank soldiers can drink tea. A few days ago, there was even such a thing: a British civil aviation plane flew for a day and returned home, because there was no hot water on the plane, so it was impossible to make tea......

I really don't know what the brain circuit structure of corrupt people looks like.

"All right, you guys can't see. Why don't you have dinner first? Jeff, help me carry the fish quickly!" Said Jones.

The young man in the cowboy hat sighed, "I really hate fish now...... Eh? Jones, who are these two? "

After listening to his words, other people also looked back. There were both men and women in it. The older ones were 50 or 60 years old, and the younger ones were more than 10 years old. Everyone's dressed up surprisingly the same: jeans, boots, hoodies.

Jones said, "the friends who came to our town to refuel just now, I invited them to see our work. To tell you the truth, the fish he cooked was fantastic! I never thought salmon could be so delicious. By the way, go get two dozen eggs! There's a better way to eat fish roe

It's really a way to be a chef

Jones laughed. "Aren't we friends? Amanda, Jennifer, come over and say hello to our new friend. Shaw, Amelia, these are my two daughters, this is Amanda, this is Jennifer

After greeting them, Xiao Peng and Jones said, "are they thirteen or four years old? Don't you go to school? Is it too dangerous here? "

Jones shook his head and said, "don't look down on my two daughters. They are top class excavator drivers."

Looking at these two little girls, I can't get rid of them. Did you study in Lanxiang?

Jones went on to say, "they also have education, but summer is so short that we need people, so they come to help. After all, it's more important to make money, isn't it? How to support a family without making money? How to buy them beautiful clothes? "

Xiao Peng didn't know how to answer. Well, this is the Alaskan version of "reading is useless"?

Jones took out the grilled fish he had left in the cab: "everybody come and try the salmon made by Chinese people. It's really delicious! Amanda, Jennifer, come and have a taste

Xiao Peng stopped him from tearing meat from the fish: "heat the stone plate, heat it up to make it delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jones nodded hastily, and with all his hands and feet he set up the slate and baked it there.

This process is a bit boring, Xiao Peng curiously walked to the front of the generator. The generator used here is not a small generator, the size of a minivan. There are wheels under it that can be dragged around.

"Why did the generator stop working when it broke down?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

Jones explained: "the core of the whole construction site is the generator. Without it, the pump can't work. How can we find gold?"

Xiao Peng noticed that they were talking about "panning for gold" rather than mining. He had seen the gold mine in the Republic of Saha, but he had never seen it. He was also curious to see how gold was found, so he stretched out his head to observe the generator.

"Can you fix this thing?" Jones asked curiously.

Xiao pengtou also did not return to say: "I have a look at it again."

He paid attention to the generator. It is still working, but it only emits smoke and does not generate electricity. He carefully observes that all the fuel injection nozzles are open, but the machine just can't start.Xiao Peng observed it carefully. It was strange that everything was normal. What was the problem?

He was just about to give up when he suddenly thought of something and opened the loose leaf under the generator operation panel.

The problem is really here! The throttle valve of the generator is faulty. As long as the generator is powered on, the throttle valve will jump up and down randomly. Although the frequency is not large, it can not be fixed at all, so the generator fails.

He was just about to tell Jones what was wrong with them when a man in an assault suit came up and said, "Damn it! You laymen, don't move around and make maintenance difficult for me! You laymen, get out of the way and don't let me say it again

Xiao Peng didn't even have to look at it. He knew it was a mechanic, Boog.

Xiao Peng didn't want to see the fault of the generator, but he told him who didn't want to see the fault.

"Jones, where are the eggs? What about fresh water? Let's get something to eat. " Xiao Peng greets Jones.

Jones took a look at Boog, shook his head, and pushed his two daughters to see Xiao Peng make roast fish and steamed egg fish roe.

The big slate is still used for grilled fish, but steamed eggs are not needed. Jones, they have a kitchen in their container house. This is more convenient.

Jones also took out beer to treat Xiao Peng, which is very rare. After all, these people don't drink when they work.

Xiao Peng also knew these people.

The young man named Jeff in a cowboy hat is a big landlord. A large area of land here is his inheritance.

They have a unique way of distribution here: if they get more than an ounce of gold an hour, they will give Jeff 15% of his total income; if less than an ounce, they will give him 10% of his total income. The rest will be distributed according to the investment proportion of each company.

The land here is permafrost, so you can't find gold in winter. You can only wait for Alaska summer when the permafrost melts.

They first insert a lot of hollow pipes on the ground, and then water them, so as to speed up the thawing time of frozen soil. Then they use excavators to excavate the frozen soil layer, and use huge water cannon to flush the frozen soil layer to expose the rock bed with gold. Then they use the mud pump to pump out the mud washed down, and then they start the real gold rush.

The thickness of the frozen soil layer is 15 meters, which is a slow process. When the frozen soil layer is completely excavated, the real gold panning is started. That is to say, the sand soil containing gold in the permafrost layer is dug out with a forklift truck and transported to the screening machine by a large truck. The screen washing machine is far away from the common sand filter screen in China, but it is larger, with several powerful nozzles on it Wash the sand with water to filter out the gold.

If used at maximum power, the dredger can filter ten trucks of sand per hour. It's a powerful tool.

It's also a business with great risks: it's a matter of seconds to rush for gold here, and you can't stop every hour. After all, there are only a few days every year when you can do gold rush. Not to mention that so many heavy equipment are bought by loans, the daily fuel consumption is very frightening. If you can't collect enough gold, it is very likely that this group of people will go bankrupt!

Jones and their calculation, if you include depreciation of machinery, fuel costs, labor costs, etc., almost an ounce of gold per hour is needed to maintain the cost.

In fact, every year, there are many mining companies that go bankrupt in Alaska. By comparison, Jones and they are lucky, because after all, the land here belongs to Jeff. But even so, they are still under great pressure. They usually work 24 hours a day during the gold rush.

All aspects of gold rush are inseparable from three things: water, electricity and diesel.

Without water, there is no way to break through the frozen soil and find sandy soil; without oil, excavators and the like can't be used; what if there is no electricity? All the washing machines and pumps will not work.

Now there's a problem with the generator, so we have to stop working. Although Xiao Peng's roast fish is really good, they found for the first time that the fish would not be burnt and the taste would be more delicious. But delicious food can't make them forget the urgency of time. Everyone's attention is still focused on the mechanic named boorg, who has been working there for a long time and hasn't finished the generator yet.

"Boog, what's going on now?" Jones, fed and drunk, couldn't help it, and yelled to Boog, whose head was in the generator.

When he asked, Boog became angry first: "what are you urging? Damn it, this generator is completely destroyed! You'd better get a new one! "

After listening to boorg's words, everyone's face is very tight. A generator can cost a lot of money. The most important thing is that it will take several days to get it back. But they can't accept such a waste of time!

But at this time, Xiao Peng couldn't help laughing.
