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

Zhao Qin carefully observed everything around him and found that the trees around here were slightly more lush, but there were no trees in the middle.

Large weathered rocks can still be seen on both sides.

"The process of burying the Jiwan was very complicated. When the mud slid into the Jiwan, it would first be washed downstream to form a dam. Therefore, the first condition for determining the Jiwan must be that the upper part is low and the lower part is high.

After the dam is formed, the water will still flow and will look for other outlets, overflowing from the sides to form countless new small rivers.

Until these small rivers are buried, so you can tell by looking at the clues in the landforms.”

Well, it’s the same as not saying anything. Anyway, Zhao Qin understood it, but when he asked him to confirm it himself, he was still in the dark.

Wu Xing waved at the excavator and pointed to an area on the left. "I estimate the covering layer is at least seven or eight meters. Let's dig."

Zhao Qin asked Arnold to start working.

This time it took even longer, nearly two hours, and we had to bring in a freezer because the ground underneath was too solid.

The excavator's plow was digging and sparking, but it still couldn't break the frozen soil.

The so-called defreezing machine is actually a modified excavator. The excavator bucket is removed and replaced with an iron spike, which is used to hammer and break the frozen soil.

"That's enough." Seeing that the excavated soil turned black and was accompanied by a large number of pebbles of varying sizes, Wu Xing called for a stop.

He took out the washing basin, scooped up some soil from the side, and started washing in a sink. After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

Show it to Zhao Qin, "How is it?"

Zhao Qin took a look and saw that there were still dots of gold sand, but there were much more of them than before. "Uncle Wu, we have found the best spot."

Old Wu was not so optimistic. "We are not 100% sure yet. Ask Xiao Jiang if he can set up a screening machine first. We can get a few truckloads of soil and do a batch test."

Zhao Qin responded and took out his intercom. Jiang Bing quickly replied, "It will take at least three days, and there is a spare part that needs to be purchased."

It was getting dark and today's exploration was almost over, so the three of them returned to the camp.

Jiang Bing took the inspection results and the list of items to be purchased and said, "Aqin, I estimate that all these will cost nearly a million."

Zhao Qin was not frightened by the data. He had talked with Joey before. Any equipment here costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of US dollars.

Joey took the order and looked at it, then shook his head, "Boss, his estimate is too conservative. Just one D11 bulldozer would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

All these equipment and accessories have been purchased. Boss, please prepare 200 million US dollars. "

Zhao Qin frowned this time. Damn, everything in this damn place is expensive. If it were in China, it would probably cost only four or five million at most, but here it costs more than ten million.

I only saw three or two grams of gold, but I had to pay so much money.

As expected, the risks of gold mining are really high, and not everyone can afford the initial investment.

Fortunately, he had foresight and got another 50 million from A Ke. "Joey, starting tomorrow, you will work with Jiang Bing to purchase these equipment. You can use the helicopters at your convenience."

"No problem. Boss, aren't you going to buy a helicopter?"

"Buy it. It's really hard to get by without a helicopter in this damn place. Please ask for me. If you want to buy one, buy a better one."

"OK, I'll help you contact them in the next two days."

In the next two days, Jiang Bing was the busiest person. He really worked hard and never complained. It was very cold and his hands were almost blue, but he never said a bad word.

Zhao Qin also discovered that the daily sunshine hours were gradually increasing, which meant that the time to actually start gold mining was getting closer.

On the fourth day, Jiang Bing finally managed to successfully start one of the screening machines. "Aqin, it's done. We can start batch testing."

Jiang Bing's voice was also full of excitement. He felt that his ability had been put to good use at this moment.

In three days, not only did they fix the screening machine, but they also made three of the original four trucks work normally.

His job for the next two days was to turn the two broken bulldozers into one.

Zhao Qin was also busy because the main force had not arrived yet and there was a shortage of personnel. Arnold had to operate the excavator, and Ruan Cheng had to control the screening machine and feed the soil.

The job of transporting soil fell solely on him.

It's really fun to drive this big truck. It has a lot of horsepower. Once you step on the gas, it's like a demon running rampant, riding on clouds and mist.

After testing for a whole day, they opened the gate at night and could easily see gold particles in the flow channel.

It seems that the land is indeed worth screening, but everything still depends on the data.

Although there are gold separation and purification equipment in the base, no one knows how to use it. Second Brother Liu Jing learned this. From now on, Liu Jing will be responsible for all the gold separation and purification here.

There was nothing Zhao Qin didn't believe about his second senior brother.

But his second brother hadn't come yet, so he could only ask Kane to help him purify the gold in the trough.

After a night, Zhao Qin returned to the base again holding a small bottle.

"Guess how many?" Zhao Qin stood in front of the small electronic scale and everyone gathered around it.

Joey stroked his chin and said, "Based on past experience, the total amount of soil we washed yesterday was about 1000 yards, and the gold should be about 8 ounces."

Arnold nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.

1 ounce is equal to a little over 28 grams. The price of gold this year is about 20 US dollars per gram, which means 1 ounce is 560 US dollars.

8 ounces is more than 4000 US dollars.

Calculated based on yesterday's costs, there is really no profit at this price. After all, several large machines are big oil consumers.

Wu Xing calculated in his mind, "Aqin, at least 12 ounces is needed to be suitable for mining."

Zhao Qin laughed and did not keep the audience in suspense. He began to pour the gold in the bottle onto the scale. Soon it reached 10 ounces. Everyone became excited.

As the electronic scale ticked, Joey read out the data in a louder and louder voice, "13...15...16..."

The final data stopped at 22.7 ounces.

"Oh my God, this piece of land is so valuable. Zhao, damn it, I regret it." Joey said with an exaggerated expression.

"Hey, Joey, you're going to get a commission."

"Well, I feel better now."

Wu Xing also nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that we have found the right area."

Zhao Qin said sincerely, "Uncle Wu, thanks to you."

Old Wu waved his hand and said, "It's the result of everyone's joint efforts. You have a good vision and bought this piece of land. Starting tomorrow, we will start testing the second piece of land."

In the next few days, the four plots of land that Lao Wu had identified were tested one after another.

The least amount of soil was 16.3 ounces per unit, which was very profitable. The No. 3 plot even produced 29.6 ounces of high-grade soil.

Joey has become autistic, and even Wu Xing didn't expect that this piece of land has such high value.

"Aqin, you can start mining in plot 3. We have nothing to do these two days, so you can remove the covering layer first. Frozen soil is still quite troublesome, so just do as much as you can."
