In June 2010, when the anxiety of Europe, Japan, and South Korea about the "Chinese monopoly of rare earths" reached its climax, the reporter of the "Global Times" went to Baiyun Obo, the world's largest rare earth mine in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, for an interview.

There I not only felt the advantages of "oil in the Middle East and rare earths in China", but also saw the great harm caused by rare earth mining to the environment.

The reporter saw a tailings dam with an area of about 11 square kilometers in the local area, which is actually an artificial lake, and a lot of tailings water and sewage from some large rare earth factories around it are discharged into the lake, which not only threatens the surrounding environment, but also radioactive dust when the weather is dry and strong, and the effusion of wastewater in the lake causes salinization of the surrounding land. As a result, many villages around the lake have been forced to relocate.

Feng Lei, a researcher at the Institute of Finance and Trade of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that this is very unfavorable to China's trade status. If a large number of resource products are exported, it is actually a kind of primary trade status, which is obviously unfavorable to our country.

In recent years, the government has begun to restrict the export of rare earths. The introduction of a new plan is one of the important steps in protecting scarce strategic resources.

From the perspective of the state, the control of exports is considered from the perspective of long-term interests and economic interests. It is reasonable for us to impose export restrictions on some resources that can have a certain price impact.

China's restriction on the export of rare earths has caused concern among some Western countries, and even resorted to the World Trade Organization some time ago, but in fact, restricting the export of rare metals does not violate the rules of the WTO.

In the WTO multilateral trading system, there is no strict regulation on the issue of a country's export restrictions. In addition, in the protocol to join the WTO at the end of 2001, the country did not make any commitments in this regard.

In fact, not only China is increasing the protection of rare earth resources year by year. As early as 1999, the United States gradually stopped mining its rare earth resources. Since 1983, Dongying, a close neighbor of China, has been establishing a rare metal reserve system and base. In 2008, South Korea also decided to systematically increase the scale of rare metal reserves through cooperation between the public and private enterprises.

Rare earths are very important, without China's rare earths, the island country will not be able to make chips, without the chip of the island country, the accuracy of the magnesium country's rocket will be reduced from 10 meters to 50 meters. Recently, the word "rare earth" has become the focus of attention of major media, and it is estimated that it is also the topic of discussion among heads of state around the world.

"As a netizen said, Huaxia can even sell the extremely scarce gold, and the 'large' resource of rare earths is nothing at all." Flying Prism smiled, it looks like he has to do his best...

"Demon One, Demon Two, no matter what method you use, hurry up and bring me 10,000 tons of rare earths now." As he spoke, Flying Stars summoned a few puppets such as the Demon One, and after giving the order, in just an instant, the figures of several puppets disappeared.

To be honest, Flying Prism didn't pay much attention to this issue before, but now he pays more attention to it, so he added: "Go to the magnesium country to plunder." ”

"Rare earths can still be used to make defense equipment? If I had known, I wouldn't have waited until now to plunder. The things I need are still more cool to use from plunder, and the peace of mind that can only be used after trading, and so on, for me, that's nothing at all, hehe..."Prism couldn't help but laugh at the end.

Although rare earths have been ruined by many foreigners, I believe that there should be a lot of them, and what they have wasted is what they use. What they have is what Prism uses.

"Is it possible that every rare earth can be made into defense equipment?" Prism asked a crucial question.

"Indeed, it's just a matter of strength and weakness." Hua Zhongyue replied.

"Which defense equipment is the strongest and which is the weakest?" Prism then asked, looking like he was interested in this aspect of the matter, or rather it was the one he was most concerned about.

"It's all the same, all kinds of rare earths can be mixed to make zuò. How to make zuò is the strongest, it can only depend on how you match it, which is indeed a troublesome matter. Therefore, your real product can also be a finished product, and even if it is not the strongest in the future, I think it can be infinitely close. Hua Zhongyue said.

Indeed, don't look at the seventeen rare earths that are tested with each other, and the trouble is not high. However, there is one very crucial issue not to be overlooked, and that is proportion.

The ratio between the two rare earths, if accurate to the microgram level, is enough to keep a person doing the right thing busy for a lifetime. The main thing is to make this kind of defense equipment, which is difficult for computers to simulate.

Even if it can be simulated, the actual situation is quite different from the simulated situation. This is Flying Prism Star listening to Hua Zhongyue say this, and now Flying Prism Star has also entered the real yàn room to do real yàn......

"It's a bit of a problem, and it seems that it's impossible to successfully measure the maximum." Prism shook her head.

"I don't think it's possible to measure the maximum value at all, because the most refined level of our microcosm is the preacon, which is smaller than quarks, quarks smaller than protons, and protons smaller than atoms." Hua Zhongyue said.

"What I'm talking about, of course, is the maximum within what we know." Prism said, but then shook his head: "Even if it is within the range of what we know, we can't do it, all we can do is approach wirelessly." Perhaps what we think of as the maximum is less than half of the actual maximum, or even more embarrassing one-tenth, one-hundredth, or even more thousandth. ”

"It's too far, let's keep doing it." Speaking, Hua Zhongyue seems to have a tendency to turn into a humanoid white shadow again, and this change in it has been a bit frequent recently...

"I'm lazy, I don't want to do it." Saying that, Flying Prism was actually busier than what he had done before, moving things everywhere and placing them in various places that seemed to have been planned in the real room.

"Hairy?" Hua Zhongyue was a little puzzled, why did Flying Prism Star work more actively after saying that he didn't want to do it? What's going on?

It's really a pervert, and the approach and ideas are very different.

"Okay, all the things that should be moved have been moved, the order has been set, as long as the wireless repeat is on the line, if there is any accident, I can let the monitoring here reflect to my information terminal. Anyway, this is also a repetitive reality similar to an assembly line, just give it to a few black to do, no need to use your brain, it's not a big move, and it doesn't take much energy to hand over to a few black to do. After Flying Star moved everything, he clapped his hands and said to Hua Zhongyue.
