Link was unimpressed by the Foxes' attitude towards wolves.

But that's how it is in the United States. The idea of peaceful coexistence with wild beasts has been around for a long time. The United States is not bad. And in Canada, relying on some towns in the Arctic, you have to live with even more dangerous beasts, polar bears. Every year, people die from the mouths of those animals. But it was never just to send the animals to the borders far from the towns.

And that's all he can do now. When he was in Africa last night, he found some information about wolves in Huazhou.

In fact, the wolves of Huazhou were extinct for a long time. But in 2010, wolves reappeared in the mountains of Huazhou. The wolves migrated from the Rocky Mountains in Canada.

And the state of Washington legislation to protect the wolf pack. The forests and mountains of Huazhou also give wolves room to thrive.

It's just that I didn't expect that now the wolves have spread to the west coast of the continental United States.

He wanted to find the wolves, and then they all burst out. But killing a wolf is to be prosecuted in Huazhou.

That night, he heard a wolf howl, but it seemed to be far away.

There is also some mountainous terrain within the farm, with forests taking up most of the farm, and there are large numbers of red deer, white-tailed deer, and even cattle. These wolves may now see this as paradise and can't get rid of it.

If they are not removed, wolves may soon become unbearably large when there is plenty of food.

Or rather, he couldn't stand it now.

He told Hannah a story and put her to sleep, and when he returned to his room, he saw Jessica already removing her makeup at the dresser and said, "Catelyn is asleep?"

"Well, she's young, and she's sleepy when she's sleepy, better than Hannah! ”

Link nodded and said, "Well, their nest may be far away from the manor. He took off his clothes and said. "Tomorrow Tiger and I will look for them and see if we can find them. ”

"Don't kill them if you find them!" Jessica didn't want Ozette to get in trouble.

Link didn't want to, either. "I'll have people bring tranquilizer guns," he said. ”

The next day, Link calls Tiger and Toby, the cowboy leader on the farm, and asks them to gather the rest of the security guards and cowboys to prepare to search for wolves on the farm.

The forest area of Ozette is large, and the trees are so dense that it is simply impossible to search from the air. They can only search on the ground.

They searched for a day, but they didn't find any sign of a wolf. On the way back, Tiger suggested Link, "Boss. I think we should turn to those animal protection organizations for help. They know more about wolf habits and will find wolves more easily than we do. ”

Link took his advice. Two days later, the people of the Conservation Group came, and sure enough, within a few days, they found the lair of the wolves.

It was a pack of five adult wolves and seven or eight young wolves.

For the people of the animal protection organization, of course, it was hoped that the wolves would continue to live in Ozet, but how could Link agree. A wolf is not a dog. And even wild dogs are dangerous for children.

The bodyguards and the animal protection organization captured all the adult wolves in the wolf pack, and sent the wolf cubs out of the farm, and Link didn't care where the animal protection group released the wolves. As long as they don't appear in Ozette.

But it also gave him a wake-up call. The gap in the guardrail on the seashore must be sealed.

He hired a construction company and asked them to build a fence on the beach to protect them from wind and waves. Seal off both ends of the farm's shoreline as well. This project is not large, but it takes a lot of time and the cost is not low.

While solving the problem of wolves, Link also dealt with the problem of American Chinese television. After talking to Amanda, he decided to let American Chinese television remain independent. And the name has not changed. Amanda recommended him to a white station manager. After the interview, he hired the other party.

This is his first step in the Englishization of American Chinese television stations. As for the reorganization of the television station, it was left to Snapton and the new director.

The other companies under his name are running smoothly, but there is nothing for him to worry about.

When the wolves were sent out of Ozette, it was early May.

It's summer!

Summer is a great season. Alyssa returns to Ozette with two friends. Two of her friends, one is a painter like her, and the other is a sculptor. They all wanted to live in Ozette.

Alyssa had told Jessica about this a long time ago. When Link found out, he didn't object. The artist's resort on the shores of Lake Ozette had a house. Settling in one Alyssa and a few more artists makes no difference. Link also charged them a nominal $1 a month in rent. Then they agreed to stay.

For Alyssa's return, the happiest is probably Hannah. She can learn to draw with Alyssa again.

But Link has a place to visit in May.

His investment in the Alaskan gold mine was not large. But there are gold mines valued at tens of billions of dollars, and it is impossible for him to give up. Mining, on the other hand, is a very dangerous job. Especially underground mining. A landslide or something, one time can make him suffer heavy losses, not to mention, and he will even be forced to stop mining.

Now that mining has already begun there, he is really not at ease if he doesn't go over and take a look.

Alaska is the largest state in the United States and one of the most resource-rich states. Oil and gold mines are the most famous.

Many oil companies tried to extract the oil there, but were blocked by environmentalists. But there are still many gold diggers.

In the Yukon River Basin, almost every stream has been explored. Many streams have been frequented by gold diggers. It is even said that in these streams, perhaps a handful of sand can be picked up to find gold.

But his gold mine was not on the edge of an existing stream. Or maybe there used to be a stream, but now it doesn't. And one of the more abundant gold deposits found in the valley is buried more than 300 meters underground. The ice deposits on it have even turned into rocks.

It must have been a secondary mine that formed a long time ago. Perhaps it is because of this that these two gold mines have been able to escape the hands of gold diggers who have previously mined here.

Flying from Washington to Alaska won't be farther than flying to New York. However, Link's plane this time was a PA-42. Because the airfield on the gold mine is an airstrip, it is impossible for a business plane to land here.

He had heard that Alaska's climate was complex and changeable before he came, and he didn't really care about it until he saw it for himself. But when he experienced it firsthand, he knew what it meant to be fickle.

As his plane approached the valley where the gold mine was located, the sinking winds nearly made him uncontrollable and hit the ridge.

He finally landed on the runway and turned off the plane's engine, only to find that his palms were covered with sweat.

Although it is already summer, there is still a lot of snow on the mountains on both sides of the valley. The altitude here is also relatively high, so the temperature is still relatively low. As soon as Link stepped out of the plane, he felt a chill coming over his face. The man who came up from the mine to pick him up was also wearing a fur coat.

After he got in the car to pick him up, he asked, "Claude, thank you for picking me up." How's it going?"

"Everything was fine except for the harsh environment. "It's closer to the Arctic Circle, so there's not a lot of precipitation. But the cold is a big problem.

The gold mine began to break ground ten days ago. However, neither of the two mines has yet reached the seam.

Link asked, "Exploration of the newly purchased land has also begun?"

When the exploration team found out that the land contained gold deposits, he had the news shut down, and later the land around the valley was bought. Hope to find that primary gold mine.

Last year he had taken tens of thousands of acres of land in the present day, and together with the 26,000 acres of land in this valley, he also owned 120,000 acres of land here. However, the exploration and mining rights of the newly purchased land were not approved until this year.

The price of these lands is not high, and the cost of exploration rights is not high. His investment is not very large.

But the newly bought land is likely to be spent in vain. Because no one knows if there is gold in the ground.

When word of the discovery of gold broke, the price of land in the surrounding area suddenly more than tripled. But there are still a lot of people who buy the land. I just hope that gold mines can be found as well.

But what they can gain, Link doesn't care. He now only cares about his own gold mine.

"The exploration team has gone to the mountains to the north. The terrain over there is more complex and more frustrating, and it is the most difficult area for exploration work. ”

Link nodded and said, "Safety must be ensured." "In the U.S., if there is a safety incident, losing money is secondary. It's the impact that's the most fatal. "Especially the safety of the mine. ”

"We are all professional mining teams. You can rest assured, Mr. Hans. Claude drove the car to a fork in the road and said. "Mr. Hans, would you like to see the open-pit mine or the underground mine first?"

Link didn't even think about it and said, "Let's go to the open-pit mine first." ”

The veins of the open pit mine are at a depth of about two hundred meters. And those formations are fragile and not suitable for mine mining.

Claude turned to the left, and soon they came to a mine that was breaking ground.

Link got out of the car and watched as some large bulldozers and excavators were digging down an area of tens of acres, and more than a dozen heavy construction trucks were hauling those earthworks elsewhere to dump.

He walked over to the edge and found that he had dug less than two or three feet deep.

He asked Claude, "Isn't this going to dig too big all at once?"

"At a depth of 200 meters, if the top area of the mine is not large enough, there will not be enough space at the bottom to carry out engineering equipment. And the trucks didn't have a safe enough road to drive to the bottom of the mine. ”

Link had no choice but to nod and say, "Safety is indeed the most important thing. But isn't that going to be too slow? When will we get to the depth where the veins are?"

"We're mainly going to do blasting. The further down we go, the less earthwork we have to excavate, and the more and more tools we have to arrive. I think we'll get to the vein formation before winter. ”

Link looked at it for a while and said, "The deadline is rushed, but safety must also be taken care of." I don't want to hear about casualties in the mine!"

"We'll take notice. Claude pointed to the place where the heavy truck dumped the earth and rock. "That's our precautionary measure. In July, there is a lot of snowmelt. And there's a chance it will rain. The valley is the surrounding catchment area, which uses earth and rock to create a dam near the mine mouth to prevent water from entering the pit. Ensure that there will not be too much water accumulation inside, and at the same time, ensure that the soil and rocks below will not be soft due to too much water and cause collapse. ”
