Chapter 205: The Military Order
A week ago, after the amount of ultra-high-purity tungsten gold provided by the six-dimensional space trading company doubled, the relevant departments of the military increased their attention to this company.
However, that same week, Guo Yan, the general manager of Liuwei Trading Company, was taken aback after telling the military chief that he could provide other types of metals besides tungsten gold.
What other metals can be offered?
"How many can you offer?" Military Major General Wu Menghui asked.
"If you need a few, we can provide a few." Guo Yan said confidently.
"What a big breath!" Wu Menghui muttered disdainfully in his heart, but still asked, "Can you guarantee that the metals you provide are as pure as these tungsten gold?" ”
"Guarantee, if the purity is not high, you don't have to pay money."
"Good!"
Wu Menghui nodded, and quickly contacted the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China to ask some material experts, and those high-purity metals are still needed in China.
Zhou Chunxiao, a well-known metal materials expert in China, received a call from Wu Menghui and thought about it:
"At present, the metals that can play a greater role in the industrial field are mainly several rare earth metal elements, such as antimony, indium, yttrium, dysprosium, neodymium, terbium, europium, rhenium...... And so on, these metals can be used in laser targeting systems for fifth-generation fighters, sights for missiles, alloy components for high-performance engines, stealth coatings for tank fighters, laser generators, night vision devices for tanks and industrial vitamins, and so on...... High-end industrial applications are very extensive, if the other party can really provide high-purity rare earth elements, it will greatly promote the development of science and technology in China! It should be taken very seriously! ”
Wu Menghui immediately paid attention to it. After reporting to the higher-level department, the higher-ups also agreed: you can give it a try and place a batch of orders with the six-dimensional space trading company. Let it provide a batch of rare earth metals.
The order is as follows:
Antimony: 20Kg, unit price 800 yuan/kg, purity≥ 99.9999%
Indium: 20Kg, unit price 2200 yuan/kg, purity≥99.9999%
Yttrium: 20Kg, unit price 1000 yuan/kg, purity≥99.9999%
There are also more than ten kinds of rare earth elements such as dysprosium, neodymium, terbium, europium, rhenium, erbium, praseodymium, etc. Each purchase is 20 kilograms, and the price ranges from 500 to 5,000 yuan per kilogram - of course, this price is only the initial negotiated price. If the rare earth elements provided by the Six Dimensions Space Trading Company are of very high purity and have very good physical properties, these prices will go up by more than two knots.
You know, for rare earth elements. The higher the purity. The better the physical properties, the more miraculous the scientist may even be, and these miraculous properties cannot be measured in monetary terms for the progress of science.
A week later.
When the people from the Six Dimensional Space Trading Company, driving the Maybach SUV and a Great Wall van, came over to trade again, Wu Menghui was stunned on the spot.
In addition to 600 kg of high-purity tungsten gold on both cars. The last agreement on thirteen rare earth metals, the same 20 kilograms. Brought them all.
Tested one by one using a purity measuring instrument, the purity of these metals has reached 99.9999%.
"Send these materials to the Materials Research Institute in the capital immediately!"
On the same day, the military sent all 13 kinds of 260 kilograms of rare earth metals to the capital by air.
Also on the same day, 67-year-old Zhou Chunxiao, a well-known metal materials expert in China, did not close his eyes all night, he worked all night in the laboratory of a materials research institute, even if it was dawn outside, he was still staring at the thirteen material test reports in his hands with trembling legs and feet.
"It's unimaginable."
"These rare earth elements, each of them, exhibit one or more unimaginable physical properties, some have extremely strong electromagnetic conductivity, some have extremely high hardness, some have super metal memory, some are coveted super catalysts in industrial production, and some of them, although they do not show their unique physical properties, they can be combined with certain substances to synthesize high-temperature superconducting materials......"
"It's unimaginable!"
"If these high-purity rare earth metals can play a role in various cutting-edge scientific and technological fields in China, they can go up to the deep space overhead, the sky and the earth of the country, down to the deep sea of 10,000 meters, and in the industrial, agricultural and military industries...... Playing a full role, the scientific and technological development of our country will almost undergo earth-shaking changes! The gap with the world's first-class powers will be narrowed rapidly, and the benefits will be almost impossible to count with data! ”
Zhou Chunxiao, who was excited, immediately called the senior management of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and other departments, and after listening to his report, the superiors expressed great importance and immediately made a few phone calls to Wu Menghui in S City, and even an elder in charge of the field of science and technology personally issued instructions:
-- Strengthen cooperation with the Six-Dimensional Space Trading Company and pay close attention to the company's moves
Not only that, after learning that there is a company in China that can provide ultra-high purity rare earth metals, various scientific research units and colleges in China have called Wu Menghui and placed orders like snowflakes.
Looking at the order forms gathered on the desk, and after the statistics were summarized, on February 5, Wu Menghui called Guo Yan, the general manager of Liuwei Space Trading Company.
……
Six Dimensional Space Trading Company.
Chairman's Office.
While browsing the web news on the computer, while drinking the coffee made for him by the staff, he crossed Erlang's legs, and was very comfortable.
Nowadays, several companies of Liuwei Group are constantly on the right track, and Lu Wei, the boss, is full of a sense of accomplishment at the same time, he also enjoys more and more the feeling of a successful person, the respect and love of the company's employees, and the feeling of being surrounded by people around him.
Therefore, these days, I have been walking around in two places every day, one is in the office building of Liuwei Company, sitting in the company, commanding up and down; One is in Shenglong KTV, and those big and young gags, bragging, pretending to be, etc., and living a very fulfilling life.
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to my boss to see if I can meet your requirements...... Well, happy to work with. ”
After the phone call from the manager's office next door was made, the sound of stepping on high heels came, the door of the chairman's office was slammed open, and a beautiful voice and shadow walked in with a document in his hand.
"Mr. Lu, the military called and sent a super order to our company, and this order may be beyond your imagination."
Guo Yan put a document in front of Lu Wei's desk, pushed it forward and said, "Mr. Lu, please take a look." ”
Lu Wei nodded slightly, sat upright, and opened the file.
With just a slight glance, his eyes widened.
Antimony requirement: 17,550 kg
Indium requirements: 6158 kg
Yttrium demand: 13,204 kg
Dysprosium requirement: 5380 kg
There are also neodymium, terbium, europium, rhenium, gadolinium and other rare earth metals, the demand is about 500-8000 kilograms, more than a dozen rare earth metals combined, the total demand is about 100 tons. (To be continued......)
