Chapter 1806 EP1808. Summer vacation (Part 2)

Because of San Francisco and Las Vegas, when people think of the gold rush, the first thing that often comes to mind is California, located on the west coast of the United States, and Nevada next door.

In fact, the gold rush that broke out at the end of the 19th century and lasted until the beginning of the 20th century was not limited to California and Nevada. Alaska, which is geographically close to the North Pole, is also a longing place for gold prospectors. Its popularity in that era was not much worse than that of California and Nevada.

For example, Fairbanks, the second largest city in Alaska, finally grew in size and was established because of the large number of settlers brought by the gold rush. Fundamentally speaking, the formation and prosperity of this city is very similar to that of Las Vegas in Nevada. It can be said that it is modeled after the same model.

The 'Broken Gold' hotel where Shi Xiaolei took the girls to stay this time is located near Fairbanks.

To be precise, it is located in the suburbs fifteen kilometers away from the city. It is a little far away but not too far.

Compared to those hotels in the city, the vegetation here at the Broken Gold Hotel is denser and the air is a bit fresher. However, if you really want to say how good the scenery is, it’s really just that. At least, it's not beautiful enough to stand alone as a flock of chickens, nor is it worthy of a visit by out-of-town tourists.

So, why did Shi Xiaolei choose this hotel alone?

The reason is actually very simple, it is because this hotel provides a 'gold mining experience' package, which allows guests to experience the excitement that only gold diggers could experience in the past.

Yes, although there has been a gold rush, that does not mean that the gold mines in Alaska have been completely mined.

After all, it is located in a high latitude area, and the climate is much harsher than that of California and Nevada in the south.

If it were in California or Nevada, as long as there was gold, gold diggers could continue working all year round. But here in Alaska, whenever the time enters October, the gold diggers have to stop work due to the sudden drop in temperature and get into a warm cabin to start the cat winter.

Over the course of a year, I was unable to work for at least a third of the time.

In terms of mining efficiency, it is far behind California and Nevada in the south.

In addition, the cold climate will also bring many obstacles to the preliminary exploration work...

The enthusiasm of gold diggers in Alaska is really inferior to that of California and Nevada. Including their exploration progress in this land, it lags far behind those in the southern states.

Precisely because the exploration was not thorough enough, to this day, there are still many gold resources in Alaska that have not yet been discovered, or that have not been fully exploited after discovery.

The 'Broken Gold' hotel that Shi Xiaolei chose was built on the site of a gold mine.

"Back when the gold rush just started, because the exploration methods were relatively backward, the gold diggers did not discover that there were gold mines here. In fact, before 1950, this was an ordinary farm, and people living here The Gardner family are just ordinary farmers.”

"The turning point of fate occurred in 1951. At that time, Dorothy, the youngest daughter of farmer Gardner, left Alaska and went to California to study. Maybe it was because the climate in the south was warmer, or maybe it was for other reasons. In short, going During her first year in the South, she met a young man studying at the California Institute of Technology and fell in love. "

"In the first year after leaving her hometown, she is a little girl with a more emotional personality. You can imagine what this little girl will choose when it comes to vacation? Should she stay in California with a warm climate, or return to her hometown to be with her family? How about getting together and spending the New Year together?”

At this point, the hotel manager James, who was the guest commentator, gave up and glanced at the girls who were listening to the story.

"You should be back here, right?" After meeting James' eyes, Skye responded smoothly: "Otherwise, the story wouldn't be able to develop further, right?"

"Hahahaha." James laughed and gave Skye a thumbs up: "Yes, that's it. Because she misses her family, her youngest daughter chose to go home to reunite without hesitation."

"Then what?" Huan Yuan asked aloud, staring at a pair of big watery eyes.

"Don't worry, listen to me." James made a calm gesture and continued to tell: "Although this relationship only lasted for three years, it did not go all the way to the end. However, after we just met the During the first year, Dorothy got along pretty well with the young man named Calder."

"On the one hand, he was reluctant to separate from Dorothy, and on the other hand, it was also because he was born in California with a warm climate. He had never been to Alaska and was very curious about the ice and snow world here. In short, after Dorothy made her choice, Carl De also made the decision to accompany her back to Alaska and spend the winter vacation here. "

"As I said just now, Calder is studying at the California Institute of Technology." At this point, James gave another hint: "Why do I mention this specifically? Can anyone guess the reason?"

While asking the question, James involuntarily turned his gaze to Skye.

"Because he happens to be studying subjects related to geology?" After thinking for a moment, Skye answered again.

"That's right." James nodded vigorously: "I knew you would be able to guess the answer."

"Hmm~." Skye shrugged proudly: "After all, your question isn't that difficult, so it's quite easy to answer."

"What's going to happen next..." Looking away from Skye, James continued: "I think everyone can guess what's going on. To put it simply...the young man named Calder followed Duo After Rosie came to this farm, she accidentally discovered a gold mine hidden underground. "

"What happened next?" Wanting to know what happened next, Xuan Xiang couldn't help but ask again.

"Later, the farmer Gardner family made a fortune from this gold mine, and the family moved to the south where the climate is warmer."

"Where are Dorothy and Calder? Are they married?"

"Well... they should be married, I'm not sure." James shook his head and shrugged slightly embarrassed: "After the Gardner family discovered the gold mine, they sold the farm to the mining group. The next year They moved away from Alaska. If they had not chosen to sell, but stayed as mine owners, perhaps the subsequent story would be more detailed.”
