Chapter 62 Rare Earth Elements

The hospital attaches great importance to me, what do you care about me?

This was Zhong Bai's first reaction.

He could only spread his hands and patiently explained: "Professor Tong, the current research value of sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore is not very large, even if more manpower and material resources are invested, its impact on the small fertilizer industry is extremely limited, it is better to put the project funds and manpower in other areas that need to be invested." ”

"Hehe, I knew you were going to say that." Tong Sifang was not knocked down by Zhong Bai's straight ball duel, but replied with a smile: "You know what? Since I heard about the concept of sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore from you, I called the industrial research institute in Xichuan on the first day after returning to Tiandu, and guess what? ”

"What's wrong?" Zhong Baixin said, could it be that you can make a call to the Xichuan Provincial Industrial Research Institute to get flowers?

Tong Sifang said word by word: "They didn't find any relevant information, so they immediately sent people to the origin of this ore, and immediately retrieved a certain number of samples and returned to the Western Capital, and analyzed the composition of this ore in the analysis room of their Provincial Chemical Research Institute, and made an unexpected and amazing discovery!" ”

This is the new information that Tong Sifang has obtained, and it is also the point that he thinks is most likely to attract Zhong Bai to participate in his research on sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore!

According to common sense, and combined with Tong Sifang's many years of teaching experience, the students in the audience at this moment, oh no, it is Comrade Zhong Bai in front of them, should immediately ask "What is that discovery".

But Zhong Bai didn't ask this sentence according to common sense, but said lightly: "I guess the researchers in Xichuan Province should have found that this sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore also contains a large number of different kinds of rare earth elements, right?" ”

"Hiss~~~"

Tong Sifang was dumbfounded for a moment, and couldn't help but gasp!

How could Zhong Bai know about the results of this analysis thousands of miles away?

Tong Sifang would never believe that Zhong Bai had contacted the Xichuan Provincial Industrial Research Institute in advance before coming to Tiandu to learn of this amazing discovery!

Not to mention the problem of contact pipelines, even if he Zhongbai knew the contact information, with his identity as an ordinary technician in the technical department of the Shanping County Fertilizer Factory, how could he inform him of this discovery on the phone?

"You...... How do you know? When Tong Sifang asked this question, he only felt that goosebumps were about to rise all over his body!

Zhong Bai still habitually threw the pot to the old expert who was far away in the capital, and replied casually: "Oh, this is a point that Yuan Jianguo's expert mentioned at that time, and I realized that it might become an important focus in some way, so I kept it firmly in mind." ”

After a while, Tong Sifang reacted and said in a daze: "That'...... Such an astonishing discovery in sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore, even if it does not have much impact on the small fertilizer industry as you said, it is definitely worth a separate project for research! ”

"Professor Tong, at this stage, sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore is really not worthy of our Tianhe Provincial Industrial Research Institute's independent research." Zhong Bai had no choice but to explain: "Not to mention that our province does not produce this kind of ore at all, even if the research should start from colleagues in Xichuan Province, even if there is, it is not of much significance to study it now." ”

"Doesn't make much sense? Do you know how much the discovery of this new ore species rich in rare earth elements will help the country and industry? With such a valuable ore, why not start research right away? And there's no need to be regional! Tong Sifang began to look a little excited: "If you don't explain the reason clearly, I will be more truthful!" ”

Zhong Bai shook his head and said, "There's no need to be serious. Even if the specific composition and formation reasons of rare earth elements in sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore are studied, at this stage, our country's industrial equipment and technical level cannot be effectively classified and refined on a large scale, and even if it is refined, it cannot be used in China's relevant military industry for the time being, not to mention the civilian industry, rare earth elements are just a strategic concept at present, not an indispensable factor for actual production! ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured from head to foot, which suddenly made Tong Sifang's heart half cold.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't have fully believed Zhong Bai's young man's remarks.

But in fact, Tong Sifang has also thought about this problem, although he does not have much involvement in this field, but also knows that rare earth elements are strategic resources, especially in the military, there are slowly many requirements, and he also wants to do a good job in this research in advance and contribute to the military.

But Zhong Bai's determined tone had to make him doubt his vision.

After all, this young man has not made a single mistake in his previous judgment with such a firm tone!

"I really don't know the level of technology of the military, but you just assert that even if we study it, we won't be able to use it now, I'm afraid it's too arbitrary! Just because you can't use it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future! Tong Sifang retorted loudly.

Zhong Bai was unmoved, and continued to respond: "In the future, it will take at least fifteen years for our country's military to fully break through the obstacles and really apply them to practice, and now it has not even been done in the theoretical reserve stage, Professor Tong, do you think this kind of flower in the mirror is meaningful?" In my opinion, at this stage, the best point of view for sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore is that we need to protect this ore well, as long as foreigners, especially RB people, do not approach them! Anyway, these sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ores lie on the territory of our country, as long as they are not taken away by foreign countries, it will always be ours, isn't it? ”

Hearing Zhong Bai say this, Tong Sifang was silent.

This is indeed the consistent view of the above, and it is highly consistent with the top.

He didn't even ask the researcher to take the initiative to contact the military to ask questions about technical capabilities at the moment, because Zhong Bai's train of thought, from the beginning to the present, has been smooth and completely established!

How can this kid know so much about the current general pattern of military and civilian industry in our country?

Even a teacher at a top university who specializes in this area can't say it with a single mouth, right?

But Tong Sifang soon realized a certain point in Zhong's words, that is, why did he emphasize not to let RB people approach sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum and strontium ore?

"Xiao Zhong, I understood your previous point of view." Tong Sifang straightened out his thoughts and said: "However, it has been a while since my country and RB established diplomatic relations, and the current ZR relationship is not as tense as it was a few decades ago, and everyone has cooperated very happily in all aspects, why do you only emphasize that you don't let RB people get close?" What is the reason for this? ”
