American Ranch

Chapter 3
With more than a month to go before Chinese New Year, Chen Mo left the small town and rented a house in the suburbs of AK City to prepare for gold mining.

Although I haven't thought of how to sell gold unobtrusively, it doesn't prevent me from getting more gold reserves.

It is not easy to buy a complete set of gold panning equipment in AK City, not to mention AK City, even in the whole country.Simply Chen Mo knows some machinery, and also knows how to weld these jobs...

First, I bought an excavator for 7 yuan, a miniature excavator for orchards.Anyway, the gold is on the surface, and there is no need for too big a machine.It cost more than 2 yuan to buy a water pump and a diesel generator.Material trough, vibrating conveying trough and running water trough (vibrating trough for rice milling machine), one is directly ordered.The sticky gold wrench is directly used to enter the household plastic anti-slip blanket...

Gas welding torch nozzles can be bought online, and can be used directly when connected to a liquefied gas tank.In order to increase the combustion temperature, Chen Mo also ordered a household portable oxygen cylinder... These things are used to smelt gold, why can't Jinsha just buy them?
It took Chen Mo a week to get all these done and then began to officially pan for gold.

A few days ago, because I was not familiar with the gold panning process and had to improve the equipment according to the actual situation, it can be said that everything was not going well.It got better after that...

A small excavator can excavate half a square meter of sand and gravel at a time, and can find an average of [-] to [-] grams of gold. The gold content is high, but it is not uncommon.

At present, the gold ore with mining value has a gold content of 0.3-0.5 grams per ton.The average grade of most of the general gold mines in China is below 5 grams or even 2 grams (grams per ton).The average grade of gold ore abroad, especially in Africa, is generally between 2-15 grams, but some mines can even reach tens or even hundreds of grams.According to the online reading, the gold mine is the most against the sky, and the gold mine grade is as high as 9000 g/t.

The gold content is much higher than the gold in Space Creek.

However, this is a river bed mine, or an open-pit river bed, and the mining cost is almost negligible.

There is gold in the sediment about 2 meters from the river surface to the bedrock of the river bed, especially on the bed rock of the river bed, which can almost be described as a gold bedding.

The river bed gold mining area is between 2.3 meters and 4.5 meters wide and about 1.2 kilometers long.This is Chen Mo's rough estimate...

Because of the problem of space and time flow, Chen Mo dug in the space for 30 days, and the outside world only had three days.

For 30 days, Chen Mo first let the creek change its course, and then dug.Finally, a rough statistics were made, and there are about 430 grams of gold per square meter of the riverbed gold mining area.

The bedrock area of ​​the river bed deposits the most gold.

According to this calculation, the gold content of one cubic meter of gravel soil is 215 grams.If it is outside, this is a super gold mine (gold content calculation).

The entire gold mining area is about 4000 square meters.If the source of these gold is not found, that is, the real gold mine... This stream can probably get 170 million grams of gold, worth more than 4 million.

After calculating this result, Chen Mo was a little dazed, either surprised or frightened.How to sell more than one ton of gold?And with so much money, how to bleach.

Restricted by excavators and gold panning equipment, Chen Mo works more than ten hours a day, and can only clean up more than 200 square meters of Jinsha River. Because the gold panning equipment can't keep up, he went out to get a bigger machine and came back... In this way, he can pan for gold every day About 10 grams.

Chen Mo melted these gold bars into gold bars, with one bar weighing about 100 grams and one bar weighing about 1000 grams.

A gold bar of about 100 grams is sold.

There are also many gold shops in AK City, and each gold shop selling a piece of gold will not attract much attention.

Chen Mo only stayed in AK City for more than a dozen days, and then went to Liujiang County, Luochuan County... each county town for three or four days, selling gold bars everywhere.

Everywhere, there are advantages and disadvantages to small-volume shipments.Lai Shi does not attract special attention. After all, only 100 grams of gold is sold in each place. Generally speaking, buyers do not care about the origin of gold.The disadvantages are also obvious, firstly, it is troublesome.Two, if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably go to hell... If you are lucky, Chen Mo will also be able to read his words.Before selling gold, I will go to see it first, and then I will check it online...

In addition to selling to gold shops, the main target of sale is pawn shops and pawn companies.Selling to pawn shops and pawn companies, Chen Mo was more careful, not only put on makeup, but also got a fake ID card...

Day by day, before you know it, the New Year is coming.

陈默总共有7张银行卡，每张银行卡存款都超过了20万。微信钱包里有36万，支付宝账户上41万……现金六10,000+。

At first, he didn't feel anything, but after the excitement passed, Chen Mo was terrified when he saw so much money, feeling that something was going to happen.

"Too greedy."

"Too greedy!"

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, but on the way home, Chen Mo didn't have any joy of celebrating the New Year. He really wanted to slap himself, why was he so greedy.Please don't let anything happen...

The real world is only 37 days.The space time has passed 370 days, and one of the gold digging machines has broken down.The orchard excavator also broke down, and was sold by Chen Mo to the scrap yard, and he bought a large second-hand excavator back...

The 4000-square-meter gold mining area initially explored has been dug long ago.

The upstream of the creek is not without gold, but the relationship between the water flow is buried deeper.Chen Mo also figured out the source of the gold. It came from the edge of the lake. Occasional bursts of floods brought sediment and washed it down... The gold content at the edge of the lake is not high, not as high as that of the river gold mining area.In addition, Chen Mo also found several 'ancient rivers' on the plain, all of which contained gold.

The stream gradually becomes as high as the grassland over time, and the river will naturally change its course.But this space seems to be protected by magical powers. No matter how much sediment is washed down from the northern highlands, over time, these sediments will return to the north, forming the inherent topographical pattern of the space...

These are off-topic.

Now, the gold panning equipment and the excavator have been moved out by Chen Mo, and sold to recycling bins cheaply or split up and thrown away. 1 kg of gold bars are neatly stacked in the space, a total of 1685 bars, nearly 1.7 tons, and I don't know how to deal with them.

"It's too greedy, it's too greedy... You shouldn't sell too much at once, you should keep it flowing, and sell a little bit at a time."

Chen Mo rode his motorcycle to the entrance of the village, and couldn't help but want to slap himself.

There are a total of nearly 150 million yuan in deposits in the seven banks, and 77 yuan in WeChat and Alipay.I carried a big bag on my back, which was full of cash, six 10,000+...

Chen Mo regretted his impulsiveness.

Mainly... the feeling of constantly adding money is really cool.

"Am I so stupid!" Chen Mo scolded himself again, the motorcycle had already entered the village.

Liangshui Village, a remote village in the mountainous area of ​​Chongzhou City.There are several small villas at the head of the village. Chen Mo’s home is at the end of the village, on the slope of a big mountain, surrounded by three two-story buildings and two tiled bungalows... Chen Mo’s home is the most eye-catching, with red bricks and old tile houses, none of which has a yard. kind of.
