If Ye Qing knew what happened in the Rukehaven National Laboratory, Ye Qing would definitely go up and pat them on the shoulder and tell them not to waste their energy.
Ye Qing would tell them that the problems they found now were just the tip of the iceberg.
As their research on the ionized sewage treatment equipment deepened, they would find one after another unsolvable technical problems waiting for them.
Just a coil was not just a problem with the winding structure. It also had harsh requirements for materials that ordinary people could not imagine. And materials science was the most difficult to break through.
The problem with the driver was even bigger, so big that even Ye Qing couldn't do anything about it.
Because the driver of the strong ionized sewage treatment system was directly sealed by the Monster Factory through scientifically unexplainable means. The lack of the correct driver was like a computer without an operating system, it could never function properly.
At this point, Ye Qing could only say that they should not compete, and should not have hope.
…
There were only two days until the Thunderbolt car conference.
Before it was on the market, the Thunderbolt car had captured all the people who were lucky enough to touch it.
Early this morning, the Automotive Quality Supervision and Inspection Center re-released the review results. Not only did the plasma battery pass the review, but it also got the highest score.
Now everything was ready for the Thunderbolt car, and the conference would be held in two days.
At the same time, Deputy Director Xia Hong also showed Ye Qing what efficient work efficiency was. The next day after he went back, the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources sent two directors to discuss the supply of dysprosium with Ye Qing.
Plasma batteries required a lot of materials, but dysprosium was a strategic material. Every country was very tight on it, and the production was quite small.
In 1886, the French scientist Bois successfully separated holmium into two elements, one was still called holmium, and the other was very difficult to obtain. This scientist used the literal meaning of the name and gave it a straightforward name.
Dysprosium (French for difficult to obtain).
With the technological advancement of the electronics and nuclear industry, more and more applications of dysprosium were developed.
Of course, at present, dysprosium was mostly used as an additive, and it was concentrated in the advanced electronics and nuclear industries. The annual demand for dysprosium in the global market was about 100 tons.
"Director Xia contacted us urgently yesterday and reported to us about your situation, Mr. Ye."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. We received the report from Monster Heavy Industries, but we didn't expect dysprosium to be so important to this revolutionary plasma battery."
Director Tang Yuan from the Industrial Raw Materials Department of the Ministry of Mineral Resources explained somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Ye, you know that industrial materials like dysprosium, which are restricted for export, need to go through the joint cooperation of many industrial departments from the distribution of shares to the expansion of refining capacity."
"It's alright, Director Tang. It's already an honor for you to come in person." In the office, Ye Qing asked Yun Shi to make tea for them.
After making the tea, Ye Qing waved his hand to signal Yun Shi to go out. As a result, Yun Shi flung her silver-gray hair, causing Ye Qing to receive a supercilious look.
Every time she received a guest, the job of making tea was always Yun Shi. After making the tea, he was mercilessly kicked out. After a while, when Yun Shi saw Ye Qing waving his hand, her teeth itched and she wanted to bite the overbearing president.
Director Tang first praised the good tea, and then continued, "Mr. Ye, since dysprosium is related to new energy, we naturally have to fully cooperate to widen the gap between us and the foreign energy industry."
"It's only in rare earth metal minerals, but dysprosium can only be extracted from monazite, and it only accounts for 3% of monazite minerals."
"Monazite is concentrated in the Mongolian mining area of the stone mine. Now we can extract 50 tons of dysprosium every year, 30 tons of which are used for exchanging goods, and the rest are supplied to the domestic market. Mr. Ye, our Ministry of Mineral Resources plans to expand the scale of monazite mining by 20% in three months. The share for Monster Heavy Industries will also be increased from one ton per month to three tons, and the price will remain unchanged. "
"…"
"Director Tang, Director Xia has told you how many tons of dysprosium Monster Heavy Industries needs every year?" Hearing the share of three tons per month, Ye Qing felt that the tea became bitter. Although it was expected that the share of dysprosium would be difficult, he did not expect it to be so difficult.
Ye Qing was very confident in the sales volume of the Thunderbolt car. Even if it was not compared to the Volkswagen Buick and Toyota, it was compared to the sales volume of the domestic car. The Thunderbolt car alone consumed 200 tons of dysprosium every year.
This was the low-level version of the plasma battery. The intermediate, advanced, and complete versions consumed even more dysprosium.
"Mr. Ye, the biggest difficulty is the dysprosium reserves, which only account for 3% of the monazite mine. We mine monazite mainly to extract other rare earth metal elements in it. If we mine monazite in large quantities for dysprosium, the extra cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, lutetium, samarium, these rare earth metals will break the original stable metal market. "
"Hua Xia is lucky to have most of the world's rare earth metal mines. These are not only strategic materials, but also important weights for us to compete with developed countries in Europe and the United States for international discourse."
"It's really difficult for us to deal with a large number of rare earth metals suddenly mined …"
There was no bureaucratic jargon, nor was there any guarantee like some officials. Director Tang used a slightly worried tone and described the difficulties in detail to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing expressed his understanding. From the beginning, he was mentally prepared that he would not be able to obtain a large amount of dysprosium.
If it were some technology companies, they would not be able to use up three tons per month. Monster Heavy Industries suddenly became a behemoth with an annual demand of hundreds of tons. If it were the United States, perhaps the Mineral Department would want to sew up the mouth of this behemoth.
Because most of the world's rare earth metal resources were in Hua Xia, the more metals there were in this area, the more they had to ask Hua Xia.
Ye Qing thought for a long time and decided to agree to this allocation first.
If he continued to fight, even if he won more, it would be half a ton to one ton per month. Compared with the total amount needed, it was still a drop in the bucket.
At present, the sales of the Thunderbolt car had not yet been sold, so he had to make do with it first. When the sales of the Thunderbolt car go up, the Mineral Department should raise the share again.
After sending Director Tang away, Ye Qing held a cup of fragrant tea and walked quietly to the wide floor to ceiling window.
The day after tomorrow was the day of the opening ceremony of the Monster Industries Building.
Ye Qing was not prepared to learn from those bosses who were fond of grandiose achievements. The building was opened and wished to set off a thousand salutes. He wished to set off fireworks from morning to night. He invited countless celebrities and politicians to open hundreds of bottles of wine and champagne.
Ye Qing was only going to do a very simple opening ceremony and announce two very important things at the same time. Doing less fancy things and more practical things is the belief that Ye Qing has always adhered to.
Looking at the towering building, at this moment, Ye Qing's heart rose with a sense of satisfaction that had never been seen before.
In the evening, Ye Qing returned to the Longxitan factory.
In the factory, a nameplate of the Monster Industries Building, which was the size of a container, was being slowly hoisted onto a flatbed trailer by the Mechanical Colossus Type X.
This huge metal nameplate has been covered with bright red silk. Ye Qing was going to place it in front of the main entrance of the building as a "Fengshui Culture Stone." Whether it was Hua Xia or abroad, as long as it was a company building, it always liked to use a distinctive nameplate building near the door.
Most companies used stones. Ye Qing used some ingenious integrated metal. Of course, it was not solid, otherwise it would have weighed hundreds of tons. (To be continued …)
