Chapter 447: It's Incredible

"I found out before that there are actually many things that can be made into defense equipment, but the question of the strength of the defense is the problem." Hua Zhongyue said suddenly.

"What?" Flying Ridge Star was suddenly startled, it is impossible, if according to Hua Zhongyue, then the defense equipment is not a bad street, every ordinary person can have it, and it can ensure the safety of many people.

However, Flying Prism seems to have ignored a problem, and it is necessary to know how to make zuò...

"Let me give you an example." To be honest, Prism doesn't believe there is such a simple thing.

"Let's start with the bubble, well, the bubble ......"

"What? Foam? Before Hua Zhongyue's words were finished, she was interrupted by Flying Prism, is this a joke? Can foam also be used to make zuò defense equipment? Even if it was just one of the most common materials in the defense equipment, Flying Prism felt unbelievable, which was really unscientific.

"Of course, if converted into force, the foam itself can withstand the impact of several kilograms, and if it is reasonably made through certain methods, it is not a problem to magnify dozens of times." Hua Zhongyue continued.

"Tens of kilograms? Isn't that the equivalent of nothing? Now any ordinary person's attack is more than that, I don't even know what you're thinking. Flying Star raised his eyebrows, this flower Zhongyue was really joking, this time he actually used such an example to entertain him.

"Didn't I say it, it's just a metaphor, you don't have to really think of bubbles as something powerful." Hua Zhongyue explained.

"I didn't think about it at all, but when I heard you say this at first, I thought you had some important information that didn't break the news. Unexpectedly, that's all. Prism shook her head, clearly disappointed.

At first, he heard Hua Zhongyue talk about bubbles, although he was shocked and couldn't believe it, but after all, he also established a foundation of expectations, but he didn't expect the result to be disappointed, which was indeed a joke.

"Well, don't make jokes like that in the future." Prism smiled bitterly.

"It's just an example, it's just a metaphor for a bubble, and I don't say there's no such cheap material. At least, in your country, such materials are cheap. Hua Zhongyue whispered, as if she was afraid of touching the wrath of Flying Star.

"Oh? Cheap? Look at your expression, as if this cheapness is not a good thing. Prism raised an eyebrow, he had a bad premonition. Intuition made me feel that what Hua Zhongyue said next was not a good thing.

Flying Star thought about it again and again, but for the time being, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "What is it?" ”

"I'm afraid that there is another Kurin Island in this world, and it will be troublesome." Hua Zhongyue said.

"Oh? Isn't that good? This world is inherently a situation of lack of resources and not people, although this kind of thing is inhumane, but I personally think it is a healthy development..."Flying Star couldn't help but smile when he heard Hua Zhongyue say this.

He already vaguely understood what it was, although it was not specific enough, but it was not what he couldn't figure out before.

"Then I say, don't be too angry." Hua Zhongyue said fearfully.

"Say, anyway, even if I'm angry, I won't beat you, I'm afraid of anything." Flying Prism has the urge to roll his eyes, and he is really good enough to sell off. In this way, he wants to beat people up instead.

"The one that can also make zuò defense equipment is rare earths." Hua Zhongyue has finally sold out of Guanzi.

"Oh? Rare earth...... Sure enough, it made me feel very angry... All I can do is plunder as much as I can..."Prism's eyes flickered, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his head.

Speaking of rare earths, the country has indeed entered the mode of cheap ratio in this regard, and it is simply hopeless.

The so-called rare earth is the collective name of the last seventeen rare elements in the Mendeleev periodic table, that is, the lanthanides in the periodic table of chemical elements... Lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, and two elements closely related to the fifteen elements of the lanthanide series... Scandium and yttrium are a total of seventeen elements.

Rare earth is not soil, it is an important strategic resource, especially an important raw material for high-tech industries, such as some precision strike weapons in military equipment, some auto parts and high-tech products, all rely on components made of rare earth metals.

Huaxia is the country with the largest reserves of rare earth resources in the world, and the main rare earth mines include Baiyun Obo rare earth mine, Shandong Weishan rare earth mine, Mianning rare earth mine, etc.

This scarce strategic resource is mainly concentrated in China, so some extremely stupid Western media have commented that when this precious resource is allocated, it is China that is favored by God.

It is understood that Huaxia is the only country that can provide all 17 kinds of rare earth metals, with reserves accounting for 95 percent of the world's total, and is a veritable "rare earth power". Dongying, Europe and North America are its main markets.

However, China's rare earths, which have such huge monopoly potential, have been sold to the price of soil for many years, and the pricing power has been in the hands of countries such as European magnesium.

Today's international trade in rare earths is almost like Huaxia selling rare earths to other countries, and the application level of rare earths in major rare earth importing countries is much higher than that of Huaxia, and unceremoniously imposing a technical blockade on China.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that the advantages of magnesium countries and other countries in the application of rare earths are concentrated in the high-precision technology fields such as guidance, satellites, detection, communications, lasers, etc., which are guided by the military.

In addition, because it does not have pricing power and exports the most primitive primary products, China's rare earth exports were once as cheap as 18 yuan per kilogram, while the international market price was as high as US$1,000 a kilogram. According to Chinese experts, China sold gold for the price of potatoes.

Zhou Shijian, executive director of the WTO Research Society, told the Global Times that rare earths are non-renewable resources, and we have dug up and sold our own resources, and it will not be at this price if we buy them from others in the future.

Rare earths are very precious, so there are hardly many people who know about this kind of thing, except for those who sell them, who are not angry.

Cui Fan, an associate professor at the School of International Economics and Trade at the University of International Business and Economics, pointed out that for a long time, there have been such complaints in the international trade community, and China sells rare earths to the price of soil. There is also no coordination among various localities in the country, competing for exports, and competing to lower prices for the sake of departmental or local interests, thus depleting our natural resources too much.

Due to the large number of rare earths exported from China for many years, countries such as Ou Magnesium hoard at extremely low prices every year, and once there is a shortage of rare earth resources, they will take out the rare earths purchased from Huaxia to suppress the "price of Huaxia", which is really incredible...
