M F Chapter 635: From the Ministry of Mines.

If Ye Qing knew that such a scene is going to happen in the Department of Energy the - Lock Haven National Laboratory - he would go to them, and pat their shoulders and tell them not to bother and also tell them that the current problem is just the tip of the iceberg, and as they deepen their research into ionized wastewater treatment equipment, intractable technical issues will emerge one after another, and the problem arose. in the coil is not only due to a matter of winding structure, it also has strict requirements for unimaginable materials to ordinary people, and materials science is the most difficult to overcome.

In addition, the pilot problem is even more important. Even Ye Qing can't help it, because the driver of the high ionization sewage treatment system is directly encapsulated by the monster factory in ways that cannot be explained by science. Even more without the right driver, they will be as if they are in front of a computer with no operating system, it will never work properly.

At this point, Ye Qing can only say they are not to compete, let alone hope.

……

Just two days away from the official conference of the Shi Lei car before it hit the market, and Shi Lei Automotive has captured everyone who has been fortunate enough to come in contact with it.

Early this morning, the Automotive Quality Control and Inspection Center reissued the examination results. Not only did the plasma battery pass the exam, but it also got the highest score. As a result, now Shi Lei has everything in place, and only two days later the conference will be held.

At the same time, Deputy Director Xia Hong also showed Ye Qing what high efficiency is. The day after his return, the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources sent two directors to discuss the supply of Dysprosium with Ye Qing.

Many materials are needed for plasma batteries, but only Metallic Dysprosium is a strategic material, and all countries pay close attention to this metal, and its production is very rare.

……

In 1886, French scientist William Edward Burghardt Du Bois managed to separate holmium into two elements, one is still called holmium, and the other is very difficult to obtain. The scientist literally took a simple name - Dysprosium.

With technological advances in the electronics and nuclear industries, more and more applications for Dysprosium have opened up. Of course, most of the current Dysprosium metal is only used as an additive, and it is concentrated in the high-tech electronics industry and nuclear industry, and the world market only needed about 100 tons of Dysprosium every year.

……

"Director Xia contacted us urgently yesterday and reported the situation to us. Mr. Ye, sorry Mr. Ye, we received the Monster Heavy Industry report before, but we didn't expect the Dysprosium to be so important to this revolutionary plasma battery," Director Tang Yuan of the Industrial Materials Division of the Ministry of Mines explained with some embarrassment," You know, Mr. Chairman Ye, industrial materials such as Dysprosium are subject to restrictions on the export and distribution of shares, and to expand the refining capacity we need the joint cooperation of many industrial departments to expand the refining capacity."

"Regardless, Director Tang, it is a great honor for us that you have been able to come in person."

At the office, Ye Qing summoned Yun Shi to make tea for him and his guests, and after brewing the tea, he motioned for her to come out, but she gave him a silvery gray look and let Ye Qing have a blank eye.

Whenever Ye Qing received guests, the tea-making work must be done by Yun Shi and after making tea, she will be mercilessly expelled.

As soon as she saw Ye Qing waving, Yun Shi itched her teeth and tried to bite the bossy president.

Director Tang praised the good tea first, and then continued: “Mr. Ye, since the Dysprosium metal is related to new energy, naturally we must fully cooperate to widen the gap between the foreign energy industry and us. ~ This is because Dysprosium is a rare mineral that is only present in rare earth minerals. However, the mineral Dysprosium can only be extracted from monazite and is only 3% of monazite minerals. ~ Dysprosium is found only and in a concentrated manner only in the Mongolian mining area of stone mines. Now, we can only extract 50 tons of Dysprosium Metal annually, of which 30 tons are used for exchanging materials, and the rest is supplied to the domestic market. Mr. President, our Ministry of Mines plans to extend the extraction scale by 20% of monazite in three months. The share of Monster Heavy Industry has also been increased from one ton per month to three tons, and the price remains unchanged… ”

"......"

"Director Tang, did Director Xia tell you how many tons of Dysprosium Monster Heavy Industry needs each year?"

With a share of three tons per month, Ye Qing felt the tea in his mouth had turned bitter. Although he expected the extraction of the Metal Dysprosium to be difficult, he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Ye Qing was very confident in the sales volume of Shi Lei cars. Even though it is not compared to Volkswagen, Buick or Toyota, it is compared to the sales volume of Haval domestic cars. The Shi Lei automobile alone needed 200 tons of metallic Dysprosium every year, and this is only the low-level version of the plasma battery, the mid-level, high-level and full version will consume even more Dysprosium.

"Mr. Ye, the biggest difficulty is the Dysprosium reserves, which are only 3% of monazite. We mine monazite and mainly refine other rare earth elements. If we mine monazite in large quantity for Dysprosium, the additional rare earth metals such as Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, and Samarium will break the stable market for original metals. ~ "

“~ China is fortunate to own most of the rare metal mines in the world. These are not only strategic materials, but they are also important weights for us to compete with European and American countries for the right to speak in the world. ~ It's really hard for us to cope with a large quantity of rare earth metals being suddenly mined... "

There was no official tone, and nothing comparable to some officials. In a slightly worried tone, Director Tang described in detail the difficulties to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing expressed his understanding; from the start, he was prepared not to be able to obtain a large amount of the dysprosium metal.

The three-ton monthly share, if donated to another tech company, maybe unused for its entire life, and lo and behold, Monster Heavy Industry has suddenly turned into a juggernaut with an annual demand of several hundred tons.

Since most of the world's rare earth metal resources are in China, the higher the demand for metals in this region, the more demanding China becomes. Ye Qing thought about it for a long time and first decided to accept this award. If he continued to aim for more, it will be a share of over half a ton to a ton per month, which is one drop in the bucket of the total amount needed. At present, Shi Lei cars have not yet reached the market, so he should take advantage of this share, and when the sales of Shi Lei cars increase, the minerals department should again mention the share.

Sacking Director Tang, Ye Qing held a cup of fragrant tea and walked quietly to the large patio door.

The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Monster Heavy Industrial Building, Ye Qing is not going to follow the example of these successful bosses. At the opening of the building, he was not eager to fire a salvo of a thousand shots and was uneager to set off fireworks from morning to night, invite countless celebrities and dignitaries, and open hundreds of bottles of champagne. He has only prepared a very simple opening ceremony and will announce two very important things at the same time. It's Ye Qing's belief to do less fancy and more real things.

Looking at the imposing building, at that moment, Ye Qing felt a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before.

In the evening, Ye Qing returned to the Longxitan factory. Inside the factory, a nameplate with the words 'Heavy Industrial Building' the same size as the container is slowly hoisted onto a flat trailer which is going to be towed by the Mechanical Colossus Type X. This huge nameplate in metal was covered with silk bright red, and Ye Qing planned to place it in front of the building's main entrance as a "stone of feng shui culture." whether in China or abroad, as long as it is a corporate building, he always liked to use a distinctive nameplate near the door.

Most companies use stone. Ye Qing will use ingenious metal integrated. Of course, it is not heavy; otherwise, it would weigh hundreds of tons.
