Chapter 635: Someone from the Ministry of Mines
If Ye Qing knew about what happened inside the Lukhhaven National Laboratory, Ye Qing would definitely go up and pat them comfortingly on the shoulder and tell them not to bother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ye Qing would tell them that the problems found now were just the tip of the iceberg.
As they delve deeper into ionization sewage treatment equipment, they will find one unsolvable technical problem after another, waiting for them.
Just one coil is not just a matter of winding structure. It also has unimaginable requirements for materials. And materials science is the most difficult to break through.
The problem with drivers is even bigger, so big that even Ye Qing can't do it.
Because the driver of the strong ionization sewage treatment system is directly encapsulated by the monster factory through means that cannot be explained by science. Lacking the right drivers, it's like a computer without an operating system that will never work.
At this point, Ye Qing could only say that they must not compete, let alone have hope.

There are only two days left before the press conference of Thunder Automobile.
Before it was even listed, the Thunder Automobile had already captured all those who were lucky enough to have access to it.
Early this morning, the Automotive Quality Supervision and Testing Center re-released the audit results, and not only the plasma battery passed the review, but also got the highest score.
Now the thunder car is ready to hold a press conference in two days.
At the same time, Xia Hong, deputy director of the department, also showed Ye Qing what is called efficient work efficiency. The day after he returned, the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources sent two directors to discuss with Ye Qing the supply of dysprosium metal.
There are many materials needed for plasma batteries, but only dysprosium metal is a strategic material, and all countries are very tight, and the output is quite scarce.
In 1886, the French scientist Beuys succeeded in separating holmium into two elements, one of which is still called holmium, while the other is very difficult to obtain. This technologist took it literally and took a straightforward name.
- Dysprosium (meaning difficult to obtain in French).
With the technological progress of the electronics and nuclear industries, more and more applications of dysprosium have been developed.
Of course, at present, most of the dysprosium metal is only used as an additive, and it is concentrated in the advanced electronics industry and the nuclear industry, and the annual demand for dysprosium in the global market is about 100 tons.
"Director Xia contacted us urgently yesterday and reported to us about the situation on your side, Mr. Ye. ā
"I'm sorry Mr. Ye, we received the report from Giant Beast Heavy Industries before, but we didn't expect that dysprosium metal is so important to this revolutionary plasma battery. ā
Tang Yuan, director of the Industrial Raw Materials Department of the Ministry of Minerals, explained with some embarrassment: "Mr. Ye, as you know, industrial materials such as dysprosium metal that restrict the export need to go through the joint cooperation of many industrial departments from the allocation of shares to the expansion of refining capacity. ā
"It's okay Director Tang, it's already my honor for you to come here in person. In the office, Ye Qing beckoned Yun Shi to make tea for a few people.
After brewing the tea leaves, Qing waved his hand to signal Yun Shi to go out, but Yun Shi's silver-gray hair flicked, which made Ye Qing take a roll of the eyes by the way.
Every time you receive a guest, the work of making tea must be a cloud poem. After making tea, he was ruthlessly thrown out. After coming and going, as soon as Yun Shi saw Ye Qing waving her hand, the roots of her teeth itched, and she wanted to bite the domineering president.
Director Tang first praised the good tea, and then continued: "Mr. Ye, since dysprosium metal is related to new energy, then we naturally have to fully cooperate to open up the gap between us and the foreign energy industry." ā
"It's only rare earth metal minerals, but dysprosium metal can only be refined from monazite, and it only accounts for three percent of monazite minerals. ā
"Living alone in the Mongolian mining area, we are now able to extract 50 tons of dysprosium metal every year, of which 30 tons are used for export exchange and the rest for the domestic market. Mr. Ye, our Ministry of Mines plans to expand the mining scale of monazite by 20% in three months. The share of Monster Heavy Industries has also been raised from one ton per month to three tons, and the price will remain unchanged. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
"Director Tang, did Director Xia tell you, how many tons of metal dysprosium does Giant Beast Heavy Industry need every year?" Hearing the share of three tons per month, Ye Qing felt that the tea had become bitter. Although I expected that the share of dysprosium metal would be difficult, I did not expect it to be difficult.
Ye Qing is very confident in the sales of fast thunder cars, even if it is not compared with Volkswagen Buick Toyota, it is compared with the sales of Haval in domestic cars, and the light of fast thunder cars will consume 200 tons of metal dysprosium every year.
This is also a low-level version of the plasma battery, and the metal dysprosium consumed by the intermediate, high-grade, and full version is even more amazing.
"Mr. Ye, the biggest difficulty is the metal dysprosium reserves, which only account for 3% of the monazite mine. We mine monazite, mainly to extract other rare earth metal elements in it. If a large amount of monazite is mined for the sake of dysprosium, the extra cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, these rare earth metals will break the original stable metal market. ā
"We in China are fortunate to own most of the world's rare earth metal mines, which are not only strategic materials, but also an important weight for us to compete with developed countries in Europe and the United States for the right to speak internationally. ā
"It's really hard for us to deal with the sudden increase in the amount of rare earth metals mined ......"
There is no bureaucracy, and there are no assurances like some officials. Director Tang described the difficulties to Ye Qing in detail in a slightly worried tone.
Ye Qing expressed his understanding, and from the very beginning, he was mentally prepared not to be able to obtain a large amount of metal dysprosium.
Three tons of shares per month, in exchange for some technology companies, I am afraid that it will not be used up in a lifetime. Behemoth Heavy Industry has suddenly become a behemoth with an annual demand of several hundred tons, and if it is transferred to the United States, I am afraid that the mining department will be eager to sew the mouth of this behemoth.
Because most of the world's rare earth metal resources are in China, the more demand for metals in this area, the more demand for China.
Ye Qing thought about it for a long time and decided to agree to this distribution share first.
If we continue to strive for more, even if we get more, it will be more than half a ton to one ton per month, which is still a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount needed.
At present, the sales of Xian Thunder Automobile have not been hit, so let's use it first. When the sales of thunder cars go up, the Ministry of Minerals should raise the share again.
Seeing Director Tang away, Ye Qing held a cup of fragrant tea and quietly walked to the wide floor-to-ceiling window.
The day after tomorrow is the day when the opening ceremony of the Behemoth Industrial Building will be held.
Ye Qing is not ready to follow the example of those bosses who are so happy, the building is opened, I can't set off a thousand salutes, I can't wait to put fireworks from morning to night, invite countless celebrities and dignitaries, and open hundreds of bottles of foreign wine and champagne.
Ye Qing was only going to make a very simple opening ceremony, and announced two very important things at the same time. Doing less fancy and doing more practical things is the belief that Ye Qing has always adhered to.
Looking at the towering mansion, at this moment, Ye Qing's heart rose with a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.
In the evening, Ye Qing returned to the Longxitan factory.
Inside the factory, a nameplate of a giant beast industrial building with a size and a container is being slowly hoisted onto a flatbed trailer by the giant god X-shape.
This huge metal nameplate has been covered with bright red silk, and Ye Qing plans to place it in front of the main entrance of the building as a "feng shui cultural stone". Whether it is in China or abroad, as long as it is a company building, it always likes to use a distinctive nameplate building near the door.
Most companies use stones, and Ye Qing uses some ingenious integrated metal, of course, it is not solid, otherwise it must weigh hundreds of tons.
