After reading the report, the four Pentagon officers present asked questions one after another.

"I'm the head of the military department, and I don't know much about rare earth metal minerals. HOWEVER, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ENERGY DENSITY OF THIS KIND OF BATTERY CAN REACH 1200-1300H/KG. ”

The first officer asked, "If it is used in the military, it will change the design of too many existing military equipment, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a change." ”

"It's just that I'm strange that Huaxia itself is the largest producer of rare earth metal minerals. ”

"Why did Behemoth choose to set up a rare earth plant in Nigaya?"

Without hesitation, Weisz replied: "Rare earth metal elements include gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium and so on. According to intelligence, Behemoth Industries only refines the metal element, dysprosium. ”

"So there's a question of balance between supply and demand. ”

"Huaxia has huge reserves of rare earth metal minerals, but in order to maintain the stability of rare earth metal prices, they have a corresponding amount of rare earth metal minerals mined every year. ”

"The percentage of dysprosium metal in rare earth minerals is very low, and if in order to meet the demand for dysprosium in a single metal in the giant industry, the share of rare earth metal mining in China will have to increase significantly, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand. ”

"Now that the giant beast industry is mining rare earth metal minerals overseas, after they purify the metal dysprosium to meet their own industrial needs, they can also sell the excess other rare earth metals to Huaxia, so that Huaxia can reduce the share of rare earth mining and play a role in protecting mineral resources. ”

The chief of the military department nodded.

Rare earth metals are strategic resources, and although he is not the chief officer in charge of the mineral and energy department, he knows the important role of rare earth metals in the fields of electronic semiconductors and military equipment.

Later, another military officer asked, what is the purpose of the construction of nuclear facilities by Behemoth Industries?

"For energy. Weisz replied as she swiped a few times on the tablet in front of her. When she withdrew her hand, a photo appeared on the big screen in the conference room.

This is a standard satellite overhead photograph, which is marked with the working parameters of the satellite, the height from the ground, the time and the proportions of the building that several officers can understand. In the photo, you can clearly see a square building at the foot of a hill made entirely of concrete.

Parameters show that the building covers an area of about 30,000 square meters, and the walls are one meter thick, and the height of the walls is a staggering twenty meters according to the solar projection.

Within the walls, two buildings that are clearly nuclear reactor chambers are juxtaposed, and behind them there is a round, large chimney-like cooling tower that is standard for nuclear power plants.

Because Africa's presence is so weak and weak, that the big powers are too lazy to throw even a reconnaissance satellite over their heads.

This satellite photo was taken after the intelligence department applied for a certain one that was closest to the orbit over Nicaya, and carried out a temporary orbit change order to take pictures.

In the photo, if it's just these buildings, forget it.

Commercial nuclear power is not a demon locked in a box, and many countries have commercial nuclear power plants.

It would not be too unacceptable for Behemoth Industries to build a medium-sized nuclear power plant in Nicaya, where energy is extremely scarce, in order to facilitate access to large amounts of energy.

After all, Huaxia is an active team in the international commercial nuclear power market, and has been working hard to promote its nuclear power to the sea.

But within the exaggerated concrete walls, there are two semi-buried square buildings and a fully sealed factory building.

"Based on the information on the ocean-going vessel Horizontal, which carried industrial-grade gas centrifuges, which we had the IAEA seize in the name of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in the Strait of Malacca two years ago, we can preliminarily conclude that the two semi-buried buildings are likely to contain a large amount of critical centrifuge equipment that can purify uranium-235. ”

Weisz emphasized the pronunciation volume of uranium-235, "So did you see, Behemoth Industries also has the technology to purify enriched uranium." ”

"We will not provide this technology from Huaxia officials, because most of the enriched uranium is used in the military field, and it is very dangerous. If the Behemoth Industry really needs it, Huaxia will only supply them with enriched uranium products. ”

"For the Behemoth industry that can make banshee flying machines and plasma batteries. I am not surprised that they have the technology to build industrial-grade gas centrifuges. The third officer shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself: "After all, the technology of centrifuges is much simpler than the first two." ”

Weisz asked rhetorically, "Don't you wonder, what is their purpose in purifying enriched uranium?"

"To provide higher purity fuel rods for nuclear power plants?"

"You can't build a nuclear bomb, I don't think so. ”

"Are they going to build nuclear submarines?"

Several generals answered the question in a slightly joking tone.

Enrichment of uranium is a substance that can be derived from two different concepts. One is low-enriched uranium, which has an abundance of about 3%, which is widely used as fuel for nuclear power plants.

The other is highly enriched uranium, which is more than 90% abundant and mostly consists of uranium-235.

This is the most critical material for the manufacture of nuclear bombs.

Several Pentagon officers agree that Behemoth is only purifying commercial-grade low-enriched uranium.

Weisz smiled strangely at several officers, causing these officers from the Pentagon to subconsciously stop the discussion.

"Some of you guessed correctly. ”

"Behemoth Industries is indeed building 'nuclear submarines', and it has already been built. ”

The officers all snorted in unison, their Pentagon is a purely military command organization, and its functions are all related to the military. And Behemoth Industries is just a commercial company, and even if they are technologically advanced, it is the business scope that other organizations need to be responsible for.

For example, the intelligence bureau that people hate overseas.

Now they were sitting here, reading without hesitation, a lot of the investigation materials that they shouldn't have seen.

This can only mean one thing, the matter of the Behemoth Industry has become so large that the Intelligence Bureau cannot handle it, and it can only be handed over to the Pentagon, which has the strongest military force in the world.

If they do build a 'nuclear submarine', the guys from the Intelligence Bureau really don't have enough to see.

It's just that it's a bit ridiculous.

"I'll explain our intelligence sources to a few people. ”

"Two years ago, when we seized the ocean-going giant ship Horizontal. The president of Behemoth Industries went to the Straits of Malacca and somehow forced the Malays to abandon our seizure order, which made us lose face. ”

"But we lost face, and at the same time we just paid a few phone calls and a little promise. ”

Weisz gestured to the red phone on the oak desk and made a phone call, "We can call again and again." ”

"But the young president can't go to Malaysia again and again. ”

After that, Behemoth Industries purchased two Il-76 transport planes, and instead of taking the sea route, it was replaced by air. ”

"I think you know better than I know the transport capacity of the two Il-76s. ”

"So during that time, the ability to transport materials between Behemoth Industries and Nigaya plummeted, which made the young president very troubled. ”

"The change was half a year later. ”

Speaking of this, Weisz raised his eyebrows, and his tone became erratic, "Our intelligence department suddenly discovered that one day, there was a huge discrepancy in the material transportation information between the giant beast industry and Nigaya. ”

"Intelligence shows that Behemoth Industries received nearly 5,000 tons of mineral materials from Nigaya, but one of the two transport planes stopped at Zhongyun Airport for engine replacement maintenance. ”

"We investigated all possibilities, but we couldn't find this sudden channel for transporting supplies. ”

"Then ......"

"It's 10,000 tons, 20,000 tons, 30,000 tons, 50,000 tons......"

"Behemoth Industries has also sent a huge amount of industrial equipment to Nigaya, but we have not found any information on the transportation channels of these equipment in advance. Like ghosts, they suddenly appeared in the harbor of Nicaya. ”

One of the several officers said solemnly: "So ~ the intelligence department suspects the giant beast industry and secretly builds a 'submarine' that can evade our reconnaissance methods?"

"Or even a 'nuclear submarine' with ocean-going capabilities?"

Weisz nodded again, "After all possibilities are ruled out, there is only one outcome left." ”

"Next, you have to find out about this secret 'submarine'. ”

"Find it, destroy it. ”

At this moment, Weisz turned into a ruthless conspirator, and his tone was as cold as a knife, "Since there is no longer any possibility of negotiation, then we must stand up and stop the technological expansion of the giant beast industry." ”

"Didn't that young president run Nicanya into a 'fortress'?"

"Then we will use the most powerful force to smash this fortress. ”

"The intelligence services will hand over all the investigative materials, and you will make that 'submarine' disappear, and make the Behemoth lose all the industries it has in Nigaya, as well as the important mineral resources that support the materials used to make plasma batteries and holographic glasses. ”

Several officers were silent for a moment, then finally stood up and nodded in unison.
