Monster Factory - 682

These four kinds of ores are cassiterite, tourmaline, and potash mica.

The black high-density ore that Ye Qing cared about turned out to be wolframite, grade 56.

This has reached the rich ore standard. Tungsten manganese ore is mainly composed of tungsten and manganese, of which manganese accounts for the majority.

Needless to say, tungsten is the hardest metal in nature. When smelting cemented carbide in the factory, a large amount of metal tungsten is needed. Fortunately, metal tungsten can be purchased from the domestic market, and there is no shortage at present.

Manganese is a transition metal. When smelting steel, factories need manganese for desulfurization and deoxidation. The smelting of alloys also requires the participation of manganese to improve the alloy’s high strength and elasticity.

These are not the reasons why Ye Qing frowned.

Although the above four minerals are not common in nature, they are not too rare and can be purchased from the domestic market. If the output is large enough and the price is cheap enough, Ye Qing doesn’t mind importing from Nicaya and selling it to General Mopu as a favor.

Question, these minerals seem to belong to associated minerals…

“What…what’s wrong, President Ye.” Baz’s breathing was a bit heavy, as if waiting for the moment when the prize was drawn.

Ye Qing didn’t speak, but gave him the report. Baz spends all the year in China purchasing a large amount of supplies, and he can speak and recognize Chinese. Ye Qing waited patiently for him to finish reading the report, and asked, “Did you see anything?”

The latter’s eyes were full of confusion. Among these ores, he had only heard of tungsten manganese ore a little bit.

These two metals seem to be more valuable than copper mines, but this kind of black stone is rare on the edge of the Sotu rain forest, but the other three are often found.

“These minerals are all associated minerals.”

“Cassiterite and wolframite are metallic minerals. Tourmaline and potassium mica are non-metallic minerals.”

Ye Qing recalled: “These four minerals have one characteristic. They are easily associated in granite bodies, pegmatite bodies, and hydrothermal deposits. Usually, most of the associated minerals in such deposits are crystals like gems. .”

“Are these ores you brought over look like crystals and gems of various colors?”

Baz nodded, and because of this, he had high hopes for the mineral deposit. Because ordinary iron ore and copper ore are all gray stones, they have a strong metallic feeling when they look good.

But these ores are different. When they are broken, the fracture will be as smooth as a sharp blade and emit a gloss like glass.

“Then… Mr. Ye, are they valuable?” Baz looked at Ye Qing who frowned slightly.

“If the reserves are considerable, its value is not low.” Ye Qing seemed to be thinking about something, with a erratic tone. “What you found should be only one of the many associated minerals on that deposit.”

“Like this kind of associated mineral layer that grows inside the rock and is like silk and satin. Usually, a mineral layer is mixed with a variety of rare element minerals. You can pick it up on the surface. It should be a long time ago. Stone results.”

“But these are not important.”

Ye Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Baz with a serious look, “Are these minerals widely distributed locally?”

“It should be very vast.” Baz tried his best to organize appropriate language to describe it in his mind. “There is an amazing rainforest in the southwestern part of the Nsukka area. The rainforest is called Sotu locally, which means fertile. ”

“This rain forest does not grow directly on the surrounding barren red land. It is surrounded by a circle of mountains. In the dry season, which is postponed by the rainy season, the locals will go to the Suotu rain forest to find something to eat after eating their food. The cassava grows there. , One can weigh more than ten catties, and the wild fruits are much larger than the outside.”

“These ores are all picked up on the edge of the mountains. They can be picked up all around the Sotu Rainforest. If they can be more transparent, the local residents will definitely collect them as gems.”

“That means they have a lot of reserves.” Ye Qing’s eyes became more serious.

“I tell you, these minerals are only a very small part of the associated minerals. In the mountains, there should be a wider range of associated mineral belts. And these mineral belts are likely to be accompanied by a giant to us. A very important mineral for the animal industry.”

“It’s called monazite.”

“It usually has three colors, one is red, one is yellow, and the other is green. But they have a common characteristic, the appearance of small crystals, like a cluster of gems.”

“Monazite of different colors represents the difference in the rare metal content contained in it, of which green is the most important.”

“You go back, and let General Mopu organize a reliable manpower immediately.” Ye Qing stood up and slowly said: “Let them go around the Sotu Rainforest and pick up rocks. Especially those cliffs and rock cracks. If you can If you find the monazite I mentioned, you must notify me as soon as possible.”

“Monazite?” Buzz heard about this mineral for the first time. The solemn expression of the young president made him understand the importance of this matter.

“I will ask someone to prepare a set of reagents. If you find a gemstone mine that resembles it, you smash it and grind it into powder and pour it into the reagent. If the reagent changes color, it means it is a monazite.”

“This…monazite, is it…very valuable?” Baz really wanted to scrape his ears. He couldn’t remember how many times this was the first time he asked Mr. Ye whether the stone was worth any money.

But what’s the solution?

Poor Africa, poor Nicaya, and poor General Mopu. For money, they are even willing to sell all the mineral resources that can be sold. If this behavior is regarded as traitorous, then Baz believes that the strength of selling is far from enough. Because traitors can usually sell a good new life.

They are too early to this step and must work harder!

“It’s not a question of money.”

Ye Qing smiled and said word by word: “This is a strategic metal. It is an extremely important rare earth metal mineral in the electronics industry. You can regard the various rare metal elements it extracts as equivalent gold.”

If Baz is struck by lightning, he does not understand strategy and rare earths, but he understands the equivalent of gold. How big is the mountain range around the entire Sotu Rainforest?

If there are three color gems and minerals in the mountains that Mr. Ye said, wouldn’t it be soaring to the sky and jumping over the dragon gate?

No~ even if there is in a mountain, it is also developed.

“Don’t get excited yet.” Ye Qing patted him on the shoulder: “Things are rare and expensive. Gold is expensive because its reserves are scarce. The same applies to monazite, although it may be associated with that mountain range. But it may not exist.”

“But whether it is there or not, this matter must be kept secret. Not only we want it, but any industrial company and government in developed countries want this kind of thing.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ye, I will call General Mopu immediately and ask him to immediately organize his confidants to pick up rocks in the Sotu Rainforest.”

“Once monazite is found, I will inform you as soon as possible.”

“When will the plane go back?”

“Tomorrow, Mr. Ye, you know that flights from China to Nigeria are not every day.”

“I will leave after I get the reagents.” Ye Qing said beyond doubt: “I will arrange a special plane for you, and at the same time send Mr. Jin Liuhai to go with you.”

“what!”

Baz was taken aback, and arranged a special plane for him?

President Nicaya doesn’t have this kind of treatment, right?

And Mr. Jin Liuhai went together…

Baz thought of the ambush when General Mopp sent Mr. Jin Liuhai to the airport.

Mr. Jin Liuhai, singled out all the enemies, and all the enemies were shot in the eyebrows.
