Chapter 504: Superconducting Alloys
Fan Yang could only endure it, and followed them towards a vertical rock wall.
This rock wall is extremely special, even geological idiots like Fan Yang know that this is a granite, and the guide in Lao Qian's hand took it out, picked it with his hand, and opened the iron shell on it.
Fan Yang perked up, and felt that the hunger in his stomach was relieved.
Now he knows the basic theory of prospecting.
It's time to get started.
"What is this, Compass?"
But it looks a little more complicated than a compass, and the most striking feature is that there is a small mirror on the cover, and there is a vertical line in the middle of the mirror, which divides the mirror in half, and there is a sight-like thing on the mirror, and the compass has a fine scale on the outer ring, and there are small bubbles to measure the level.
Lao Qian said with a smile: "You want to say that the compass is okay, but professionally speaking, this is a geological compass, because polar magnetism and geographic magnetism are different, and ordinary compasses are not accurate, but this thing can be calibrated and used to measure the occurrence of rock formations." ”
"What is the occurrence of rock formations?" asked Fan Yang.
Director Zhou smiled: "I told you, as long as it is a mountain, there may be mines hidden in it, but how to distinguish it, it depends on the shape of the mountain, the standard mountain is triangular, which is in line with natural sedimentation, the mountain is compact, but there are mines in it, it will reduce the density of the mountain, you can understand that minerals can erode the mountain, just like the roundworm in the belly of the mountain, it will destroy the mountain, you see the ...... over there"
The place where Director Zhou pointed over was a strange mountain, the slope on the left side of this mountain was normal, but the slope on the right side was a nearly vertical piece of mountain wall, which seemed to be a complete mountain, and half of it had collapsed.
And what was exposed was the same granite they had seen before.
Fan Yang suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that this is the truth, which means that as long as there is a mine, it will erode the mountain, will it expand or what? Will it collapse? Does the landslide have anything to do with the mine?"
"Haha, it must have something to do with it. Director Zhou smiled: "Will draw inferences, very talented, in fact, the ancients looked at feng shui, classified out of the shape of the peak, it alluded to the method of prospecting, like the greedy wolf peak I talked about before, the shape collapsed, cracks, the face is pointed and straight, there are many caves, the body is crooked, the strange rocks are craggy, this kind of place generally contains magnetite, to this place The pointer of the compass will turn around, the ancients thought that the aura was chaotic, don't believe you." ”
Fan Yang went to the compass in Director Zhou's hand, and the pointer on it really trembled and began to swing irregularly.
Lao Qian took the geological compass and found that the geological compass was as stable as an old dog.
Lao Qian said: "The geological compass has a magnetic calibration, but the feng shui compass is not, which is very helpful for some mineral deposits. ”
"Does that mean there's magnetite in there?"
"It doesn't matter if you just look at it, you have to take it back for testing. ”
This mountain wall is about twenty or thirty meters vertical, several people soon came to the bottom of the mountain wall, Zhang Gong took a geological hammer, stepped forward and knocked a stone down, smashed the stone with a flat side, found that there were red and black debris in it, and took out a magnet from the bag, and stuck it to the top, and stuck a lot of iron powder.
Director Zhou picked up the powder and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed a gleam: "Rare earth?
"I'll see. Lao Qian also seemed a little anxious, twisted the powder and observed, and his eyes were also shining: "I don't know about rare earths, I need to be tested, but I always feel that this is vanadium titanium, magnetite associated vanadium titanium." ”
Twisting up a piece of crumb and tasting it, Lao Qian nodded: "I need to take it back for testing, but it feels like vanadium and titanium." ”
A few people just looked at each other: "It's a big joke, it seems that the value of Almaty's mineral deposits is beyond your imagination, and it should be placed in our country, and we must not make a fuss?"
Zhang Gong shook his head and said: "Forget it, such an obvious place, others will not know, this must be a proven mineral deposit, but this is a dragon vein, are others willing to mine? ”
This sentence was like a basin of cold water, and the faces of several people suddenly relaxed.
Director Zhou kicked those debris away: "Dry ball, ruining the dragon vein is not something we can afford to handle, I didn't see it." ”
Fan Yang was shocked.
What is vanadium titanium, of course he knows, vanadium is known as industrial monosodium glutamate, is a steel additive, adding 0.1% vanadium, can improve the strength of steel, reduce the weight of the structure, reduce the cost of 8~10%.
A piece of iron, when refining a little vanadium titanium, it becomes vanadium alloy, also known as super alloy, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, super wear resistance, super resistance, are used as high-end materials, aviation, aerospace, used to build rocket fighters, the worst, is also used to build aircraft landing gear, the value is extremely high.
And titanium is not to mention, three words, titanium alloy, superconducting material, ultra-high temperature resistance, the strongest metal on the surface, this is used to build aero engines, I haven't heard of anything else, titanium alloy armor has always heard of it, right?
What aluminum alloy is, in front of titanium alloy, it is as fragile as tofu slag.
Even in China, the reserves of these two materials are extremely scarce, only in the Panzhihua area of a large number of reserves, and the refining and alloy technology is currently only available to the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and several countries with cutting-edge technology.
They simply took a turn around Mount Medeo and actually found vanadium titanium?
This is too mysterious.
Although the crumbs were kicked away, the iron powder in Lao Qian's hand had not been put down, and he leaned in front of him to observe carefully: "It's hard to say, vanadium titanium is generally accompanied by a small amount of heavy rare earths, take it back and test it." ”
Zhang Gong said: "Let's not make decisions without permission, my suggestion is to take some samples back, our basic principle is to report, what do you think?"
Director Zhou was a little unbearable: "Forget it, don't destroy a good dragon vein, here it is, it means that there are others, and if you want to mine it, you should go downstream to find it." ”
Fan Yang was reluctant to let go of this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and echoed: "I think Zhang Gong is right, our country's future industrial construction will also need a large number of rare metals, what if they miss it? We can help the country import it back, I want to talk to Farabi about this." ”
Director Zhou thought for a while: "That's okay, foreign friends treat me like a guest, and I should repay others, and I can't say for sure, if there is no such thing, I have to test it, so let's take some." ”
A few people said they would do it, and seriously knocked a few pieces of ore for sampling.
Not to mention sampling, Lao Qian also took out a geological compass and measured the stratum dip and rock trend of this mine.
It also made Fan Yang gain his knowledge.
It turns out that after the mineral deposits have been discovered, how can we determine how many mines are in the mountain?
The best way to do this, of course, is to dig a well, dig a hole in the mine, and look inside.
But where to blow up, excavate, is still very particular.
This geological compass has several functions on it, such as the strike of the rock formation, which can determine the distribution of ore veins.
After a test, Lao Qian recorded some data.
A few people still refused to give up, and walked towards the giant gate peak in the middle, and at some point, the dragon ruler made of brass was held in Director Zhou's hand.
Fan Yang asked again, "What is this for?"
