The next day, Wang Xudong arrived at Peng Runwei's office as promised.

Peng Runwei had already put aside all affairs, and was waiting for Wang Xudong's arrival early, and when he saw Wang Xudong coming in, he got up enthusiastically, "Xudong, but I can hope for you, do you know, I didn't sleep well all night last night." ”

Wang Xudong smiled, "Uncle Peng, you are so funny." ”

The relationship between the two is very good, and there is no third person here, so they can't help but be casual in their words, and even made a few jokes between the two, and hearty laughter rang out from time to time.

Wang Xudong drank a small half cup of tea, and gradually got to the point.

Peng Runwei sent someone to pick up Wang Xudong early in the morning, naturally he didn't ask Wang Xudong to come over to chat, but he was worried about the research progress of the unknown metal, and he thought a lot last night, so that he didn't fall asleep until late.

"Xudong, you said on the phone yesterday that you are inspired by that unknown metal and are working on a special steel called 'Super Metal No. 1', how about introducing this special steel to me. ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes looked at Wang Xudong a little eagerly, in fact, Peng Runwei's expectations in his heart were very high, hoping that the special steel under research would have excellent performance, and it could also be smelted and produced on a large scale, and the military could use it in large quantities in major fields.

Before coming, Wang Xudong had already thought about it. If you clearly tell Peng Runwei that this special steel has been successfully developed, this is not appropriate, after all, the time is too short, from the last time Peng Runwei handed over the unknown metal to now, it is only more than half a month.

In the USB flash drive that I carry, there is an introduction to the "Super Metal No. 1" special steel, which is just an introduction to the information, and the specific smelting technology information is still in the database of the "god-level big miner" system.

These technical data are the safest and safest in the system, Wang Xudong can't copy these technical data in the U disk and take it around the world, what if you lose it?

Therefore, the only thing in the USB flash drive that he carried with him was the introduction information of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel, and Wang Xudong was wondering if he should show this information to Peng Runwei.

After some thinking, Wang Xudong started to "process and modify", using words such as "maybe" and "probably" in the description of performance, and used range values in specific parameters, such as 2.1 to 2.7 for density parameters, 3100 degrees to 3200 degrees for melting point parameters, and so on.

This is done to give the impression that "Super Metal No. 1", a special steel, is under development, and the properties and parameters have not yet been finalized.

Regarding the detailed introduction of "Super Metal No. 1", Wang Xudong has not shown it to anyone, not even Chen Sanlian.

Chen Sanlian just guessed that Wang Xudong may have the technical information of this special steel, but he has not really read these technical materials, and he has not even read this introduction information.

In fact, Sanlian Special Steel Group's secret research on this unknown metal has progressed very slowly, far from substantial progress, let alone inspired to develop a similar metal material with properties a little close to that unknown metal.

Wang Xudong told Peng Runwei that he had preliminary results of research and was researching a metal material similar to this unknown metal with a slightly similar performance, but in fact there was no such thing. But Wang Xudong is not worried about being a goof, on the one hand, the research is extremely secretive, and even the military cannot ask about it, which was agreed between the two sides at the beginning. On the other hand, Wang Xudong is confident that it is impossible for the military to go to Sanlian Special Steel Group to inquire or investigate. It is precisely because of these two points that Wang Xudong is very relieved.

After slightly modifying this introduction information, Wang Xudong brought it over, and it was in the USB flash drive he carried with him.

Seeing Peng Runwei asking, Wang Xudong said: "Uncle Peng, I happen to have the introduction of 'Super Metal No. 1' here, let me show you." ”

Ah, there's an introduction!

Hearing this, Peng Runwei was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Come, I have a computer here, it's open, you copy things to my computer, but your USB flash drive will be scrapped when it runs out." ”

It's just a small USB flash drive.,There's nothing else in it except for this modified introduction material.,Scrap it.。

The military has a strict secrecy system, if the foreign U disk wants to copy the data into the military's computer, it generally needs to be transferred through the intermediate machine, and there is a strict registration system, like Wang Xudong, who directly inserts the U disk into Peng Runwei's office computer, after using up, this U disk must be destroyed by the military, which is the requirement of the secrecy system, Wang Xudong expressed his understanding.

"It's just an ordinary USB flash drive, let's scrap it when it's used up. Wang Xudong didn't care, sat down in front of the computer, and copied this information to the desktop of Peng Runwei's computer.

As soon as it was completed, Peng Runwei looked with great interest that the introduction information was relatively simple after being modified, but Peng Runwei was completely surprised in his heart.

"Xudong, this 'Super Metal No. 1' is very good, much ahead of any of your current special steels!"

Wang Xudong said: "This is definitely the best metal material in the world, the best special steel, the key is that it is all-round, can be widely used in all walks of life, can be used to process and manufacture a variety of parts......"

Wang Xudong took the opportunity to introduce this special steel a little, and Peng Runwei nodded and praised it again and again. After listening to this, he asked: "Xudong, when will you be able to successfully research, we urgently need this special steel." ”

Wang Xudong did not hide it, and said truthfully: "We are confident, in about three or five months, we will also select sites across the country, and prepare to build three extra-large smelters of this special steel, and prepare for large-scale smelting and production of this special steel ........"

talked endlessly, talked a lot in one breath, Wang Xudong roughly said his future plans and plans, and Peng Runwei's heart almost boiled when he heard it.

Peng Runwei said again and again in his heart, great, in the near future, our military will be able to use a large number of this metal material, well, the large transport aircraft under development will definitely be used, and our fourth-generation fighters will also use a large number of this material.

"Xudong, you want to produce this metal material as soon as possible, we urgently need it!"

Wang Xudong nodded, hesitated a little and said, "It's just ......"

As soon as this "just" came out, Peng Runwei's heart almost came up, and at this time, what he was most worried about was what happened to affect the production of this metal material.

"Xudong, if you have any difficulties, just say it, we will help if we can. ”

Wang Xudong said: "In fact, there is nothing, but to produce this special steel in large quantities, a large number of rare earths are needed, even if the proportion added is relatively small, but if you want to smelt and produce tens of millions of tons of this metal material every year, the rare earth resources needed are not a small amount, may be hundreds of thousands of tons." ”

Hundreds of thousands of tons!

Even Peng Runwei, when he heard about the demand for hundreds of thousands of tons, felt a headache, and after thinking about it, he said, if there is really no way, I will go to talk to the above and expand the mining of rare earth resources in our country.

Expanding the amount of mining, this is not the best policy, because there are so many domestic rare earth reserves, under the mining for many years, the reserves have become less and less, and then expand the amount of mining, will speed up the lighting of this strategic resource, and finally there is no rare earth can be mined.

In fact, in addition to rare earth resources, an important metal element is also needed, that is, "rhenium", however, "rhenium" is often associated with this metal and rare earths, as long as there are a large number of rare earth resources, there will be enough "rhenium" metal.

Wang Xudong saw Peng Runwei's embarrassed face, and knew in his heart that large-scale mining of rare earth resources in China would definitely not work, and he could only go overseas for mining, such as going to Australia.

"Uncle Peng, I have already thought about it, and I am ready to go to Australia to try it out to see if there can be mining of rare earth resources. ”

Go to Australia!

Peng Runwei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I remember, you have two huge private territories in Australia, maybe there are some rare earth resources there." ”

"In this way, you first go to Australia to mine rare earth resources, if the output is not enough, I will help you find a way, 'Super Metal No. 1' This special steel, no matter what, must be smelted and produced on a large scale. ”

Rare earth resources are scarce strategic resources, and the global reserves are limited, and Peng Runwei does not think that Xudong Mining Group can mine hundreds of thousands of tons of rare earths in Australia every year, thousands of tons, or tens of thousands of tons every year.

Wang Xudong said: "Well, let's try it first, if we can't mine any rare earths in Australia, I'll come to Uncle Peng again." ”

Of course, this is just Wang Xudong's modest statement, Wang Xudong believes that in his own private territory, a large number of rare earth resources can be mined, and the biggest problem in the mining of rare earth resources should not be rare earth reserves, but the Australian government's permission.

Peng Runwei said: "Okay, you go and try it first, it's really not good, I'll help you find a way." ”

As soon as the two of them talked about these things, Wang Xudong's mobile phone vibrate, and when he took it out, it was actually Chen Sanlian calling.

Wang Xudong thought in his heart, didn't Lao Chen lead a team to Ninggang City to discuss with the local government about investing in the construction of a factory, he arrived in Ninggang City yesterday, and now he should have just started the negotiations, and there should be no results so soon.

A lot of thoughts flew quickly in his mind, and Wang Xudong thought about it a lot all of a sudden, and soon had a guess that Chen Sanlian called him at this time, and there must be something very important.

This is in Peng Runwei's office, out of politeness, Wang Xudong looked at Peng Runwei, Peng Runwei waved his hand and said, "Xudong, you answer the phone first." ”

Wang Xudong pressed the call button, and Chen Sanlian's anxious voice immediately came from the mobile phone......

………

The second one is sent!
