515 stumbling on the export of rare earths

Liu Yijiu's words silenced everyone.

These things are facts, truths that they don't want to face.

The reason why they are reluctant to face it is because these people do not pay much less for the country than those who claim to be state cadres. The social division of labor is different, and it does not matter whether the contribution is large or small. Let them silently dedicate their most precious youth to the country in such an environment, or even a lifetime, not many people can do it.

"Don't think that if you are a leading cadre and a senior leading cadre, you can scold and abuse anyone at will, especially high-tech talents who have made outstanding contributions to the country. The aluminum alloy researched by Wang Lijun will more than double the quality and performance of our domestic aluminum alloy, and the missile shell used in aerospace will be at least one-third lighter than the original mass, effectively increasing the range...... "Liu Yijiu did not stop there.

And he is the one who proposed to add rare earth elements to aluminum alloy, and it was successful after testing! He is our pride! Under such circumstances, Liu Yijiu had to push all the achievements of aluminum alloys with rare earth elements on Wang Lijun's body.

With the results, you have the qualifications to speak, and you can better slap these bigwigs in the face.

"Okay, Comrade Xiao Liu, the current difficulties encountered by the Ninth Academy are only temporary, and they will be solved one day......" said a leader who didn't know which department.

Liu Yijiu didn't take the steps down, but asked coldly, "Will it be solved one day, how long will this day be?" Wang Lijun's family didn't even know if he was alive, because he gave up his vacation and spent all his time on technology research and development. There have always been very few family members in the base, since when it was first established. The vast majority of our marriage problems are solved by the state! Individuals do not have vacation time, even if they have. Very few people go back, and they can't say anything about what they have done! What's more, when they go back on a blind date, the object asks, where do you work, what are the benefits, how to answer, how to answer? Even if the blind date is successful, it is because there is no time to get along. Chiefs, think about the consequences......"

Long Yaohua had a splitting headache.

Liu Yijiu is like a deep resentful woman, she complains when she has the opportunity, but he can't stop it.

He knew that this kid was talking about things, and he knew that things were not as exaggerated as Liu Yijiu said, but he couldn't refute them.

He also knew that if he couldn't give an explanation, this kid would seize the opportunity to complain about it.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, don't worry. We will come up with a solution as soon as possible to solve these problems that you are currently experiencing. Before coming, the Logistics Headquarters was discussing these matters in consultation with the General Political Department and the General Staff Headquarters. Long Yaohua had to tell a white lie.

Otherwise, don't even think about continuing today.

There are a lot of things in the base of the Ninth Courtyard that can't be known to outsiders, and the longer you stay here. The more likely it is that the leak will be, and after today's end, they will be out of the mountain. The itinerary is very tense, and Liu Yijiu can't be allowed to continue.

"I mention thousands of singles in our base, thank you, chief!" Liu Yijiu saw Long Yaohua giving steps. Don't dare not go down.

I can't help it.

Last night, Long Yaohua gave him a clear attitude. That's the attitude of the top brass of the military, and he represents the top brass of the military.

For other systems, he can not care, but not the military leadership.

Otherwise, in the end they will have no one to support them.

"Let's talk about the progress of the Ninth Academy in terms of basic materials. This is crucial not only for the military industry, but also for the country's industrial science and technology. Long Yaohua quickly changed the topic.

Zhao Maoping didn't expect Liu Yijiu to be so indifferent to offending people, and they haven't reacted yet.

Especially Jia Yiming, who was the one who came over the great turmoil back then, and was also a victim, he didn't dare to say anything under such circumstances. I was still feeling that Liu Yijiu, a newborn calf, was not afraid of tigers, and when he heard Long Yaohua's question, he hurriedly stood up when he saw Liu Yijiu's gesture again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the chief technical engineer of the third district, although I am only responsible for the research of metal materials such as superalloys and aluminum alloys, I am still very familiar with the technology of our third district, and I will introduce to you some of our current projects......

Jia Yiming said as he led everyone towards some areas next to him.

The technical laboratories are divided from the workshop in some small areas, used for physical and chemical analysis and material performance testing, various melting furnaces and chemical pools, are in another section of the workshop.

"At present, superalloys are of little use in the civilian market except for gas turbines, so we will not introduce this aspect; We mainly introduce the improvement of the properties of rare earth elements for metal materials. This is the data obtained after long-term effective experiments, and at the same time, it is also used in some of our advanced weapons and equipment, such as the new gun steel with the brand name of 25Cr3Mo3NiNb, which has very high toughness, high temperature strength and hardness, which can effectively improve the service life of the barrel, so that the life of our current various tank guns has increased from 300 to 500 rounds to 600 to 860 rounds. Because this material contains a large amount of carbide, the total amount of carbide is high, which brings high hardness and reduces the toughness of the material. In response to this situation, at the suggestion of Comrade Liu Yijiu, we use a part of the rare earth elements to refine the grain structure of the material...... "Jia Yiming is obviously not good at introducing.

During the introduction, regardless of whether these bigwigs could understand it or not, a string of professional terms spit out of his mouth.

was finally interrupted by Liu Yijiu.

"Jia Gong, let's talk about the result directly." No matter how detailed the introduction is, what can it be?

"Okay!" Jia Yiming is talking energetically, this is their most significant achievement, using materials without rare earth elements to exchange a lot of good things with the Americans, at least it should be shown in front of these bigwigs who have no one in their eyes.

"The addition of rare earth elements to the new gun steel can increase the service life of our tank guns to more than 1,000 rounds!" He immediately spat out a statistic that shocked everyone.

Long Yaohua knew the life of the barrel used in the Longwei tank, but he didn't know what material it was, but he only knew that it was a new type of gun steel.

"And our aluminum alloys. With the addition of rare earth elements, the performance will also be higher. The Z-7 aircraft was successfully researched and finally dismounted. That's because the shell is too thick to ensure safety and structural strength, and the structural strength is not too high. The new type of aluminum alloy can completely allow our Z-7 to solve these problems. Jia Yiming said proudly.

It's a pity that the base doesn't make a straight-7 inside.

"Jia Gong, these are all military materials! What we need is high-end materials for the civilian sector! An old leader who was less than 1.6 meters tall, with black-rimmed glasses and silver-white hair said with a smile.

"The field of military materials and civilian materials is interconnected. For example, our new artillery steel has good strength and high hardness. It has good toughness and can be used in a series of fields such as rolls, heavy-duty transmission shafts, molds, etc.; And aluminum alloy is more widely used, and the leaders are clear about these materials......" Jia Yiming patted the leaders with a small fart.

Let them get back a little bit of the face that was trampled on by Liu Yijiu and was about to become scum.

"Do rare earth elements really have such a powerful effect?" A young leader in his forties, who had not spoken all this time and had been listening patiently, frowned and asked, "As far as I know, we have not studied much in this area in China, and the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Mining are currently negotiating with the United States, Japan and other countries on export in this regard......

"Hehe, the role of rare earth elements. We only found a small part because we didn't have enough manpower, we didn't have enough research equipment, and we didn't have enough research funding. Director Liu's plan to set up a rare earth element research center cannot be dug up until we solve the manpower problem. Even if there is only sporadic research, I can guarantee that the role of this material is the second most widely used among the materials currently known in the world. Whether it is in the field of military industry or in the field of communications. Electronic circuits, microelectronics. Chips, computers, and more. Jia Yiming did not expect that the country was actually ready to export such important strategic materials.

If he knew that these strategic materials would be sold at the price of cabbage, he didn't know what kind of mood he would have.

Liu Yijiu's face was very ugly, for no other reason, he didn't expect the United States and Japan to do it so quickly.

The export of rare earth was the most loss-making export in the early stage of the reform and opening up of the Republic.

There are not many rare earth resources in the whole world, and finally in the nineties, after more private people entered the industry, the country's strategic resources were lost at a faster rate.

With a cheap supply of rare earths from China, the U.S. government has directly sealed their rare earth mines in the Great Lakes region! All of them are imported from China for rare earth resources, and the excess is reserved.

"Xiao Liu, is this rare earth element really so outrageous?" Long Yaohua saw Liu Yijiu's face flickering, and asked him in a low voice.

Liu Yijiu looked at Long Yaohua in surprise, "Chief, do you think we handed over those technical papers and wrote them randomly?" In addition to what Lao Jia said, we can't say anything more important, that is, missile precision guidance, which should play a stronger role in satellites......"

Liu Yijiu's whispered answer made Long Yaohua no longer calm down to listen to Jia Yiming's introduction.

Jia Yiming led everyone to introduce various processes and process equipment in the production test workshop, many of which they made by themselves.

Until noon, the food in the cafeteria made Long Yaohua have no appetite at all.

"I won't be with them in the afternoon, you can find someone to give me a detailed introduction to the use of rare earth elements......" Long Yaohua finally found Liu Yijiu and said very seriously to him.

"Because the Americans and the Japanese desperately need us to provide rare earth ore in exchange for foreign exchange? The national abacus of these two dog days is well played. We don't have any research on this in China, they think we are fools, and it's useless to tell us these things......" Liu Yijiu understood what was going on, but made a cynical expression on his face.

Let the big guy Long know, and then the entire military top brass will be clear.

In that case, it is a matter of national defense strategy, and the United States and Japan will want to get a large-scale supply of rare earth minerals from China cheaply.

As long as there is a high income, the country will naturally set up a special rare earth research team to further expand the research on rare earth elements. The more research results are produced, the higher the price of rare earth elements will be in the international market.

Because China is the world's largest supplier of rare earths, and even some rare earth elements are unique to the whole world.

Liu Yijiu didn't feel too sensational, and took Long Yaohua to find an opportunity to break away from the team, and then looked at the hidden gate of the third district to enter the interior of the mountain.

"Originally, our missile guidance technology was very poor, at the beginning they forced me to find a way, I just came out of school, what can I think of, thinking of the characteristics of some rare earth elements that I learned when I was in school, I said nonsense, and then those old guys really started experimenting, I didn't expect it, it didn't take long to succeed......" Liu Yijiu did this at the beginning.

It's just that he can't talk nonsense, but deliberately guides.

"This is very good for precision guidance?" The grimness on Long Yaohua's face was even worse.

"It's not just precision guidance, to be precise, satellite guidance should be better, and the main thing is to improve the quality of communications...... At the same time, in some top materials, add specific rare earth elements, the material performance will be more outstanding, we sold to the Americans artillery steel technology, is not rare earth, they have been studying rare earths for decades, it is estimated that they also understand this, so after getting our technology, they started negotiations...... "Liu Yijiu did not forget to give the Americans eye medicine.

"So, the Americans' artillery steel technology is even worse than ours?" Long Yaohua was surprised. However, the look of surprise was not too obvious.

Liu Yijiu shook his head, "The Americans use ordinary cannon steel, which has a much longer service life than the Soviets' gun barrels, and it is estimated that rare earth elements are also added to it." Our overall technology can't be compared with the United States, if they directly use our cannon steel technology without adding rare earth elements, then their cost will be higher than ours, and the cost of service life is ......."

Seeing the expression on Long Yaohua's face, Liu Yijiu knew that if the Americans and Japan wanted to get more rare earth ore supplies from China, it was estimated that they were a little hanging.

He even wondered in his heart that if the Americans knew that he did it, would they send their killers to sneak into China and kill themselves!

"This use in the field of microelectronics is actually the same as guidance, guidance, is also the use of microelectronics, every achievement in our base, basically has the use of this element. The new radar in the base that has not yet succeeded, the United States estimates that it has been completed, Lao Maozi has no technology, called active phased array radar, which needs to use more than five kinds of rare earth elements, although each of them is not too much, but it is indispensable! In order to create greater difficulties for the Americans and the Japanese, Liu Yijiu couldn't help but talk about some projects that had not yet been reported to the country! (To be continued......)
