Chapter 201 Rare Earth Operation

The world today is very interesting.

After the United States became the world's only superpower, it became the world's undisputed world hegemon. Various advanced technologies have become the target of people's imitation, and China is the best imitator among them. Even when the United States is still stuck in ppt,

China realized it, which made the United States dumbfounded. It felt like China would be scratched bald when crossing the river by touching the eagle sauce.

Russia relies on the legacy of the Soviet Union, and its military technology is still at an advanced level. However, Russia does not have enough financial resources to invest. It is an indisputable fact that Russia will continue to fall behind as time goes by.

China, on the other hand, learned from the Soviet Union and the United States, learned from both sides, and formed its own technical characteristics, combining the strengths of both companies. However, the foundation is relatively weak, with many shortcomings, and it still takes time to accumulate.

For example, China's fighter planes can see the shadow of the Soviet Union, but the avionics system also has the shadow of the United States.

"Academician Qin, there is no need to worry about this. Our project team prepared two aircraft models when we first started researching. As long as there is no problem with the aero-engine, we will take care of the fuselage issue!" Commander Yang said angrily.

Chinese fighter jets started by imitating Soviet fighter jets, and then gradually formed their own style. During the development process of the J-10, a third-generation aircraft, it can be said that it completely formed its own technical style, and also figured out the way to do it. Therefore, the J-20 was born.

Born!

As a master of aircraft design, how could he not study the F22? The aircraft engine and avionics system cannot be seen, but the fuselage can be seen.

"Taihang aerospace engines and Kunlun aerospace engines use new materials and continue to improve!" At the end of the meeting, the leaders asked the two aeroengine development units to apply new technologies and also asked relevant units to cooperate with Qin Yuanqing.

At the end of the meeting, experts gathered around Qin Yuanqing, wanting to know more about the inside story. However, the satellite launched by the Aero Engine Research Institute was too big, and they still can't accept it.

Qin Yuanqing looked at the elderly people in their 70s and 80s. They were no different from other middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s. They were full of enthusiasm and couldn't stand it. As for it, wasn't it just a breakthrough in materials? If you knew it one day earlier, you would know it later.

Same.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing only mentioned relevant technical indicators, but did not say a word about the specifics. Just kidding, brothers are still settling accounts. Technology must be controlled by oneself, otherwise how can one make money.

The production of samples and experiments in the 404 steel plant were all paid for by the Aero Engine Research Institute, without even a dime of national funding.

Now the Aero Engine Research Institute has signed a cooperation agreement with the 404 Steel Factory and the 706 Composite Materials Factory to license the technology respectively, and each company will produce materials.

Qin Yuanqing just said that the technology has been authorized, and if he wants to purchase materials, he can order from 404 Steel Factory and 706 Composite Materials Factory.

However, after the meeting, Qin Yuanqing was led to an office by a secretary of the leader. There was also Chief Engineer Yang in the office. Chief Yang was 50 years old this year and was in the prime of life. He was now the deputy chief engineer of China Aviation Industry Corporation.

With the successful test flight of the J-20, Chief Engineer Yang, as the chief designer of the J-20, has become a well-known scientist.

"Academician Qin, this is Yang Wei, the chief designer of the J-20!" the leader introduced.

Qin Yuanqing shook hands with Yang Wei. This man was a representative figure of craftsmen in a great country and had been engaged in the design of fighter jets.

"Academician Qin, I have asked you to come here this time to confirm something with you. Is there any problem with the aircraft engine?" the leader asked.

"Theoretically speaking, there is no problem with technology, but it involves a lot of processing technology. If the processing technology can meet the standards, it also involves whether the aero-engine manufacturing is qualified." Qin Yuanqing did not give a definite answer.

Technology is technology, but whether it can be manufactured involves machine tool processing.

"Academician Qin, I wonder if you can give me a copy of the engine design drawing. During this time, I will lead the team to optimize the aircraft design according to the design drawing." Yang Wei said.

Qin Yuanqing nodded, of course there is no problem.

Aviation engines only make sense if they are placed on airplanes, otherwise they are meaningless at all.

Yang Wei made this request in front of the leadership, so there was no need to worry about leaks. Moreover, if the design was just a design without relevant detailed drawings, the value would be greatly reduced.

Qin Yuanqing invited Yang Wei to go to the research institute with him, and then handed Yang Wei a CD with the drawings. As for how long it took for Yang Wei's team to design the aircraft, that was not Qin Yuanqing's concern.

Just when Qin Yuanqing returned to campus, the focus of work also shifted to the manufacturing of aero-engine prototypes. The aero-engines were assembled at Aero Engine Power.

It is estimated that an aerospace engine will take a month to produce. It is precisely because of this that if aerospace engines are not mass-produced, they will be sky-highly expensive.

For mass production, when the technology is mature and there is a dedicated production line, the cost will be greatly reduced.

Less than a week after the meeting, big news suddenly broke out, that is, the environmental protection department ordered several major rare earth giants to stop production on the grounds that mining had caused serious soil erosion and serious air pollution. No one expected such a scene to happen, and the result was that rare earth prices responded.

However, foreign sellers cannot bear the rising prices and have expressed the hope that China will handle the matter as soon as possible to avoid disorderly growth in rare earth prices.

There are also companies that claim that they will not buy China Rare Earth. In the past, when rare earth prices rose, these companies used this method to suppress the price of rare earths. After all, they could not sell the rare earths they mined if they did not buy them.

China is weak in the field of materials and cannot make good use of rare earths. Overseas buyers have always been confident. If not sold to them, who else can it be sold to?

However, this time the environmental protection department was particularly tough and even announced the mining site and environmental pollution, which caused an uproar. Unlike previous years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the public has taken environmental pollution very seriously, so as soon as the news came out,

Many people are anxious about this, and international environmental organizations have exaggerated it so much that the country has formed an inspection team to investigate the situation of rare earth mining.

As a result, the vast majority of rare earth companies either have no qualifications to mine, and are punished to the extent that their families are destroyed, their companies are ruined, and the person in charge of the company must bear criminal liability. Some rare earth companies do not pay attention to environmental protection and mine wantonly, and then they are issued sky-high fines that cannot be paid.

Get up? Then go bankrupt!

China's big move in the rare earth industry is immediately reflected in the transaction prices of rare earths. The prices are rising every day and reaching new highs every day. Moreover, there is still a price but no market. If you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.

In less than a month, almost all rare earth companies declared bankruptcy. Only three companies starting with Chinese characters were spared, but they also faced sky-high fines and the need to spend huge sums of money on soil erosion control and environmental protection.

Those foreign companies that import large amounts of rare earths have become a little angry, and have accused the arbitrary price increases of violating the laws of the market. The foreign affairs department has presented facts, reasoned, and well-founded.

Are you kidding? Just do it and talk it out. If you admit it, you don't know what it will be like.

A series of actions by China have resulted in the formation of a monopoly in the production and sale of rare earths, with prices remaining high. If you want to buy at a low price, sorry, the production cost is so high. Selling at a low price like before is not a loss.

As for those high-tech companies, they can only hold their noses and admit it one by one. After all, over such a long time, China has formed rare earth mining and smelting technology. Even if other countries have rare earths, mining and smelting did not happen overnight.

If you don't buy it, you can only use your previous reserves. For example, Japan saw that the price of rare earths was dozens of times higher than before, and decisively used its previous reserves.

Qin, Yuan and Qing did not expect that the country would act so quickly and swiftly, and it would also use environmental protection as the entry point. The reasons were high and impeccable.

If companies are mining well and doing a good job in soil and water conservation and environmental protection, then there are still some difficulties. The key is that these companies are trying to make money, making small profits but quick turnover, and there is no water and soil conservation and environmental protection.

live.

As the environmental protection department started to take action against rare earths, other mining industries were also in turmoil. They were afraid that the environmental protection department would investigate, so they unconsciously began to implement soil and water conservation and environmental protection measures to avoid following in the footsteps of the rare earth industry.

To be honest, the environmental problems caused by the rough development in the past are very serious. The state's hand is gradually tightening, and there is not much time left for these enterprises.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing is also happy to see these measures. After all, rare earth resources are simply strategic resources with very high value. Selling rare earths directly is not as good as deep processing to form high-performance materials, whether alloy materials or other composite materials, which are truly high-performance materials.

value, this is much better than selling rare earths by the ton

For example, the price of high-temperature resistant materials is simply ridiculously high, and they are still expensive but not marketable. Because they are strategic materials in the West, they are subject to export controls.

It is simply unreasonable that items produced with Chinese materials are prohibited from being exported to China.

Qin Yuanqing sometimes felt that the Chinese people were really too honest, so honest that they imagined others too well and thought they had a basic moral bottom line. As a result, Westerners used their own moral bottom line time and time again to tell Hua Xia,

What is moral integrity and can it be exchanged for money?

Later, Yang Laohu righteously reprimanded the Americans for their rudeness, and the Chinese people felt extremely relieved.

In his lectures, Qin Yuanqing lashed out at people who had extremely beautiful illusions about the United States. Such people were either brainwashed or stupid.

If America was really that beautiful, would the Air Force call 81192 from time to time? Would the Galaxy be mentioned from time to time?

How could the ruins of Yugoslavia and the three martyrs cease to accuse the United States all the time!?
