Twenty-one: Mammoth

"I don't think my cousin is a stingy man anyway...... The pressure on the miner is high, and he sometimes has a bad temper, but from what I know about him, he will never be angry for no reason. There must be something in his heart...... "Xiong Xi turned on the volume of the radio.

"What do you say on the radio?" Mo Yu passed the sixth level of English exam, but he was still far from the level of understanding the radio. Not to mention radio programs, even foreign movies, I can't understand them.

"I'm telling Mo Fan's story. He is a workaholic, working more than 15 hours a day, and seems to be a superman who never gets tired. Xiong Xi spread his hands and made a strange expression: "If you don't have a particularly strong relationship, or your family is not particularly rich, it is not easy for Chinese people to live in Canada, let alone start from scratch here." ”

"Working 15 hours a day?" Mo Yu was stunned.

"It's just during the gold rush. Mo Fan is usually lazy......"

The two girls chatted about Mo Fan along the way, and unknowingly came to Dawson City.

Originally, this was just a small town in decline, but when you drove over, you saw a completely different scene.

There are many people upstream of the town, and there are patrolling policemen everywhere.

Dawson, the town born of the gold rush, fell in large part because of the security problems at the time. When the second gold rush appeared, the Yukon government paid special attention to the security of the town......

What was once a dead town now looks very bustling.

On both sides of the main street of the town, you can see many second-hand excavators, bulldozers and so on. There are also new travel agencies with signs such as 'Walk the Golden Trail', 'Yukon Hunting Project', 'Gold Rush Project', 'Go to Indigenous Tribes' and so on.

……

In the big mine, Mo Fan took the last exploration report of the exploration company, and then went to the exploration cave to take a look.

The exploration hole was over 100 metres deep.

There are 47 such exploration holes.

From 70 metres underground, the gold content of the ore gradually decreases. Mo Fan probed his spiritual power into the mine, and then explored 25 meters downward, gold is very rare, roughly estimated, each ton of ore gold content does not exceed 0.3 grams.

Initial exploration at the Great Northwest gold mine has largely yielded results with a maximum grade of 13.6g/t at a depth of 40m at 1.9-2.7m. The grade and gold content of the upper gold ore are also different...... The gold of the entire large mine has proven reserves of more than 950 tons, and most importantly, it is a surface gold mine with high gold content.

After discussing with the exploration company about filling the exploration hole, Mo Fan got on a helicopter and prepared to go to the Mobia ruins to have a look. A Chinese archaeologist has come and is translating the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in the sacrificial pit.

As soon as he got on the plane, Mo Fan's phone rang, and the security guard called: "Boss." ”

Say. ”

"Two girls came at the gate, saying it was your sister. ”

"Call them. ”

After a moment, Mo Fan heard Mo Yu's voice: "Brother, are you busy?"

"Nope. How did you get over and with whom. ”

"Cousin Xiong Xi, she drove me over. ”

"It's nonsense. Call the security and I'll ask them to bring you in. ”

The two girls were driving long distances and were still in the Yukon off the beaten track, and Mo Fan was really afraid that something would happen to them......

Let the driver Will return to the mine, and in the sky, he can see a pickup truck jolting by.

After getting off the plane, Mo Fan knocked Mo Yu's head hard: "Why didn't you run over without saying a word." ”

"I want to surprise you. Mo Yu pursed his lips and looked around curiously.

There is a world of difference between the current mine and the original mine. There are quite exquisite wooden houses, as well as large wooden house restaurants and shops, but there are few people in sight here.

Mo Fan outsourced the restaurant, the owner was the former chef, and the company's security guards and doctors were all shared.

The miners who work here in Mo Fan have a good income, with wages and dividends, the most can get more than 100,000 Canadian dollars a month, and the lowest monthly income is more than 30,000 Canadian dollars.

The income is high, and the work is hard, so I want to eat something good, have a separate meal or something.

Mo Fan didn't have much energy to take care of everyone's food, so he contracted out the restaurant, and each person was given a food subsidy of 2,000 Canadian dollars per month.

For employees who help themselves make money, Mo Fan will never be stingy.

Dawson's side is notoriously expensive.

The restaurant has a fixed nutritious package, and the set meal of milk bread and fries in the morning is only 15 yuan. Noon is a big meal, after all, manual work can't be solved by eating casually at noon like the white-collar class, and if there is a steak or something, it's only 35 yuan. Dinner is the most abundant...... If you only eat a buffet-style fixed meal, 2,000 Canadian dollars a month is definitely enough. The restaurant also has à la carte dining, exquisite chef-level food and dozens of wines to choose from......

Mo Fan led the two girls to the restaurant: "Have you eaten?"

"No, we set off in the morning, and we're just here now, and we're exhausted. ”

It was past seven o'clock local time, and it was still very early before dark. Now is the time to get off work, there are only two people in the restaurant, and the others are busy delivering food to the workers. I came to Yukon all the way to make money. The gold rush season is almost over, and everyone is working hard.

Mo Fan went to the backyard, where the environment was relatively good, and he could see the vast wilderness.

As soon as he sat down, Mo Fan saw a car coming from a distance, it was Zhang Dong's wrangler: "I'll go out for a while." ”

"Busy man, I finally see you. Zhang Dong saw Mo Fan, trotted over, and said.

"My sister came and had dinner together. Mo Fan looked at Zhang Wei and the three of them and smiled.

They came here to make a tooth sacrifice. Zhang Dong's hunter gold mining company is not as large as Mo Fan's side, and the miners are all self-fed.

After entering, Mo Fan asked the waiter to put together a table.

"The mining season is almost over, how are you doing over there?" Mo Fan said, opening a bottle of sparkling wine from Lake Okanagan in Canada and pouring it for a few people.

"It's ok. I just can't compare to you. I heard that your output here has exceeded 100 million?"

"At the end of the mining season, it should be close to 100 million yuan of production. Whether it can be broken or not is not necessarily said now. ”

The restaurant staff brought the menu, Mo Fan ordered a steak for himself, and handed the menu to Zhang Dong.

"This stuff is really expensive. Zhang Dong helped Zhang Wei and a few of them order the same steak: "I let you contract it at the beginning, but now I regret it." ”

Mo Fan looked at Zhang Wei and the others and shrugged his shoulders.

Zhang Wei and the others laughed, to be honest, they regretted it. I thought that there would be no business in a small restaurant, but Mo Fan was tricking a few of them, and after learning about the operation mode of the restaurant, he regretted that it was too late.

When he originally planned to contract out the restaurant, Mo Fan approached Zhang Wei and planned to contract the restaurant to the three of them, and only asked to build a restaurant according to the design drawings...... The three of them felt that the investment was too high, and jokingly asked Mo Fan to contribute to them, saying that if Mo Fan contributed money, they would do it...... This made Mo Fan speechless, and he didn't pay attention to them after that.

The upfront investment for this restaurant is no more than $100,000 and includes a small shop.

There are nearly 80 people in Mofan's mine, and there are dozens of people in Zhang Dong's mine, as well as people from the exploration team. It is located in the middle of nowhere, nearly 300 kilometers from the nearest populated area, Dawson Town. The restaurant was built, and all the food and drink of more than 100 people were here, and the miners on Mo Fan's side also had a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per person every month, and the subsidy was directly recharged in the consumption card in the form of punching cards. It has only been more than 20 days since the construction of this small restaurant, and the turnover account has more than 400,000 Canadian dollars, and it is estimated that it can make a profit of 100,000 yuan.

In the future, the mining area will be expanded, and more and more people will be here.

"It's not possible to be expensive. But it's much cheaper than Dawson City, isn't it?" Mo Fan diverted the topic and said, "Some time ago, your mine dug up mammoths, are there any after that?"

"Yesterday another one was dug up, and it was relatively complete. There is a hole in the mammoth skull, several human bones and stone tools have been excavated nearby, and the archaeologists are still trying to close our mining area and cooperate with them in the archaeology. It's really depressing. ”

Zhang Dong's mining area is very close to Tombstone Mountain, and Mo Fan has found many traces of ancient human activities in his previous exploration, and there are still monuments of broken eaves and broken walls underground. It would be a good thing to find ancient ruins on a farm or pasture, but not in the goldfields. Mo Fan really didn't expect Elson to be stupid enough to tell the archaeological team about his discovery.

Mo Fan laughed a few times and drank a glass of wine: "What did the archaeological team find?"

"Yesterday's discovery of a hole in the skull of a mammoth, the size of the hole matches that of a polished pointed stone, and archaeologists speculate that the Mobian civilization should have been able to make mechanical weapons such as bows and arrows. ”

Mo Yu and Xiong Xi listened to a few people chatting, and asked with great interest, "Mammoth, isn't that a prehistoric creature?"

"Mammoths, also known as mammoths, lived mostly in cold regions near the Arctic Circle, such as Siberia, before they became extinct. The latest mammoth to become extinct was around 3,600 years ago. The ruins of the Mobian palace, which is now making a lot of noise on the Internet, are 3,000 to 4,000 years old, and the history of the Mobian group may be even older, and there is definitely a scientific basis for humans to hunt mammoths...... "Mo Fan explained. But the Mobian civilization uses mechanical weapons such as strong bows to hunt, how does it feel ...... There is something in the ruins of Mobia, no one knows better than Mo Fan, there are absolutely no weapons such as strong bows and crossbow arrows. In fact, Mo Fan prefers to believe that the Mobians hunt mammoths with their physical strength.

If the humans of the Mobia period knew how to cultivate, they could hunt mammoths with their own strength.
