After entering December, Yang Jie had just accompanied Xue Yuedong to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the official operation of the Shenguang Light Source Facility, and he received news from the secretariat -

Eagle Sauce's President George W. Bush claimed to have underground uranium enrichment facilities in the Sabbatical State, and the Huaxing Group Company provided key equipment to the Sabbatical State, while announcing that Eagle Sauce would unilaterally impose severe sanctions on the Sabbator and the Huaxing Group!

Yang Jie was then called to the General Office of the Central Committee and met with Xue Yuedong, Song Xinyang and other bigwigs.

"Eagle Sauce is going to attack your company now, are you ready?"

Song Xinyang looked at Yang Jie with a solemn face at this time.

"It's not the first time we've been targeted by Eagle Sauce in China, so we've done a lot of preparations, many parts in our products are purchased from many countries and companies, there are more freight channels, and there are no eggs in the Eagle Sauce basket, and many domestic companies can also provide a lot of parts to our company, even if we give up the entire Eagle Sauce market, we will make a lot of money at most, and we won't knock down our company. ”

Yang Jie said with a firm face.

"The Ministry of Commerce of Eagle Sauce is very likely to implement a seven-year technology embargo on Huaxing Group this time, prohibiting domestic companies from directly and indirectly selling parts, goods, software and technology to Huaxing, prohibiting many domestic enterprises from using our country's equipment, and will put pressure on their allies. ”

Song Xinyang said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, we have a trump card in our hands in our country, and if it is revealed, it is estimated that Eagle Sauce will have to weigh it himself. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

"Oh, tell me which trump card it is?"

Xue Yuedong looked at Yang Jie and asked.

"It is the rare earth resources industry chain in the hands of our country, and now we have completed the monopoly of the entire industrial chain in the field of rare earth industry from technology research and development to ore mining, from raw ore refining to deep processing of products. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

From the 80s to the present, Rabbit quickly seized the opportunity of Eagle Sauce to establish the world's largest rare earth research facility, and applied for its first international rare earth patent in 1983, and in the following 14 years, the number of international patents in this field in China exceeded the total number of Eagle Sauce that has been rooted in this field since 1950.

Prior to 1985, Eagle Sauce was the world's largest producer of rare earths, when the Eagle Sauce Morley Group owned the world's largest rare earth mines, and the group began to move its rare earth business to China in the mid-to-late 80s, subject to the many rules and regulations of the Eagle Sauce Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Under the impact of the rare earth industry of rabbit in China, which is a by-product of iron ore, Eagle Sauce completely stopped the production of heavy rare earth resources in China a few years ago.

As early as 95 years, Magnequench, the largest processor of rare earth products and the only manufacturer of military permanent magnets for Eagle Sauce, and GA Powder, the largest producer of rare earth magnetic powder in Eagle Sauce, were acquired by investors including China Nonferrous Metals Import and Export Corporation, and then the industry was transferred to China, and the factory in Eagle Sauce was closed.

Gallic Chicken's Rodia then also closed its last rare earth separation plant in Eagle Sauce and moved it to the country.

It is also for this reason that the Eagle Sauce Defense Reserve Inventory sells the last of Eagle Sauce's strategic rare earth reserves, which even include rare earths previously held by the Department of Energy rather than the Department of Defense.

At the same time, a few years ago, the domestic high-level attention to rare earth resources has been raised to a new height, especially the heavy blow to the export of rare earth raw materials, coupled with the rise of the domestic semiconductor industry, a large part of the domestic system capital has been digested by its own country, and now the export is through semi-finished products and finished products, and the number is also a downward trend year by year.

With the explosive growth of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China, the output of permanent magnet materials has basically been consumed in China, and many domestic companies producing permanent magnet materials, including Magnequench and Hitachi, are busy expanding their production scale.

Moreover, the domestic LCD panel production line and the optical industry need to consume a large number of rare earth elements, and it can be said that the entire domestic rare earth industry is hot.

Even Yang Jie's investment in Longyuan Rare Earth Technology Company has now become the largest rare earth mining, smelting and processing manufacturer in China.

Although there are a lot of finishing processes in the hands of these companies such as Magnequench and Hitachi, the domestic industrial chain of the rabbit country has formed a monopoly.

This has also led to the fact that Eagle Sauce and these Western countries need to import from the rabbit country in missiles and any other field that requires rare earth magnets.

If there is no extracted rare earth elements, all the weapons and equipment of Eagle Sauce will be seriously affected, missile seeker, radar, sonar and other high-tech equipment, all need to use permanent magnets and other rare earth components made of rare earth elements, optical instrument glass, optical fiber panels, phosphor screen powder activators, radiation-resistant optical glass, solid-state lasers, infrared fairings and military ceramics and many other optical materials are extremely dependent on rare earth elements.

In the field of lasers alone, about 90% of the materials so far involve rare earth elements, and in military applications, this involves laser ranging, laser communication, laser guidance and laser weapons.

In addition, rare earth elements such as gadolinium, samarium, europium, dysprosium and other rare earth elements have a good ability to trap neutrons, which makes them very suitable for being added to the control rods of nuclear reactors to control the reaction rate of chain reactions in nuclear reactors.

At present, all nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines of Eagle Sauce are inseparable from rare earth elements.

In addition to high-end weapons and equipment, the charging chamber lining of explosives such as shells and bombs also uses six elements: cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium, samarium, and yttrium, because these six elements have relatively good combustion characteristics, which can make the fragments generated after the explosion of these bombs more likely to ignite the flammable substances around the explosion point and enhance the secondary killing ability of the bomb.

Now there is no rare earth industry chain in Eagle Sauce China, and these rare earth resources must all be imported from the rabbit country, if the rabbit now cuts off the supply channel of rare earth resources, then the military strength of Eagle Sauce this country will at least be greatly reduced.

Eagle Sauce has lost its rare earth industry chain by itself, and the White House, Eagle Sauce Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, and Congress have not shown any attention to this industrial crisis.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our company has also done a survey, and now there is no rare earth industry chain in China, even if they want to re-establish a complete industrial chain, it will take at least 15 years, and their domestic rare earth resource reserves are very small, if the supply channels are cut off, their domestic military industry group will not be able to last for two years. ”

Yang Jie said: "Of course, I don't want the country to really cut off the supply channels, but I just hope that the central government can buy another five to ten years for our company and the domestic manufacturing industry, and then we don't have to look at Eagle Sauce's face anymore." ”

Xue Yuedong glanced at Yang Jie: "You know these very well!"

Yang Jie smiled.

"The central government can agree to your request, and I hope that in the next five to ten years, you will hand over a satisfactory answer to the central government. ”

Xue Yuedong nodded and said.
