Monster Factory Chapter 674: High standard treatment.

Chapter 674: High standard treatment.

The three ores are ca.s.siterite, tourmaline, and pota.s.sium mica, and the fourth high-density black ore Ye Qing cared about turned out to be tungsten manganese ore, with a rating of 56. This one got reaches the level of rich ore, wolframite. Wolframite is mainly composed of tungsten and manganese, of which manganese occupies the majority.

Needless to say, tungsten is nature's hardest metal. When smelting cemented carbide in factories, a large amount of metallic tungsten is required. Fortunately, tungsten metal can be purchased domestically and there is no shortage at present.

Manganese is a transition metal, and it is needed for desulfurization and deoxidation when factories smelt steel. The melting of alloys also requires the partic.i.p.ation of manganese to improve the high strength and elasticity of the alloy.

These are not the reasons why Ye Qing frowned.

Although the above four minerals are uncommon in nature, they are not too rare and can be purchased domestically. If the production is large enough and the price is cheap enough, Ye Qing will not hesitate to import them from Nigeria and sell them in China to do General Mopu a favor, but there is a problem, these minerals seem to be a.s.sociated with minerals...

"What is it, Mr. Ye?" Buzz's breathing was a little heavy like he was waiting for the lottery to be drawn.

Ye Qing did not speak but handed him the report. Buzz has been in China all year buying a lot of gear, and he can speak and recognize Chinese. Ye Qing patiently waited for him to read the report and asked: "Did you see anything?"

The latter's eyes are full of confusion, among these ores, and only manganese tungsten ore was heard a little. These two metals seem to be more valuable than the copper mines, but on the edge of the Sotu rainforest, such black stones are rare, but the other three are often found everywhere.

"These minerals are all a.s.sociated minerals."

"Ca.s.siterite and tungsten are metallic minerals. Tourmaline and pota.s.sium mica are non-metallic minerals."

Ye Qing recalled: "These four minerals all have a characteristic. They are easily a.s.sociated with granitic bodies, pegmat.i.te bodies, and hydrothermal deposits. Usually, the a.s.sociated minerals in such deposits are mainly gem-like crystals."

"Do the ores you brought here look like crystals and gemstones of different colors?"

Buzz nodded, and because of that, he had high hopes for this deposit. Because ordinary iron ore and copper ore are all gray stones, they have a strong metallic feel when in good condition, but these ores are different: if broken, the fracture will be as smooth as a sharp blade and will emit a sharded like gla.s.s.

"So... Chairman Ye, are they worth anything?" Buzz looked at Ye Qing who frowned slightly.

"If the reserves are large, its value is not low," Ye Qing seemed to be thinking of something, and his tone was a bit erratic: "What you found should be just one of many minerals a.s.sociated with this ore deposit."

"As this type of a.s.sociated ore layer that grows inside the rock and looks like a continuous satin, an ore layer is usually mixed with a variety of rare mineral elements. You can pick it up on the surface; this should be the debris generated by the movement of the mountain long ago, but none of that matters."

Ye Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Buzz with serious eyes: "Are these minerals widely distributed locally?"

"It should be on a very large piece of land," Buzz did his best to organize the appropriate words to describe what was going through his mind: "In the southwest of the Nsuka region, there is a tropical forest amazing. The rainforest is locally called Sotu, which means rich. ~"

"~ This tropical forest grows directly on the arid red soil where it stands. It is surrounded by a circle of mountains. During the dry season postponed by the rainy season, local people will climb the mountains after eating their food supply and will go to the Sotu rainforest to find something to eat. The ca.s.sava growing there can weigh more than ten kilograms each, and the wild fruits are much larger than the outside. ~"

"~ These ores are all collected from the edge of the mountains and can be collected throughout the Sotu Rainforest. If they can be more transparent, the local residents will definitely harvest them as gems."

"That means their reserves are very rich." Ye Qing's eyes grew more serious.

"I tell you, these minerals are only a very small part of the a.s.sociated minerals. In the mountains, there should be more extensive a.s.sociated mineral belts. And in these mineral belts, it is quite possible that there is an accompanying mineral that is very important to your Huge Industrial Monster."

"It's called Mon.a.z.ite."

"It usually comes in three colors, a red, a yellow and green. But they all have one thing in common, the appearance of small crystals, like gemstones cl.u.s.tered together."

"The different colored mon.a.z.ite represents the difference in the composition of the rare metals it contains, of which green is the most prominent.~"

"~ You come back and immediately ask General Mopu to organize reliable personnel," Ye Qing stood up and said slowly, "Let them go around the Sotu rainforest to pick up stones. Especially in cliffs and crevices and among rocks. If they can and if they find the type of mon.a.z.ite I spoke of, you must let me know as soon as possible."

"Mon.a.z.ite?" Buzz heard about this ore for the first time. The solemn expression on the face of the young president made him realize the importance of this matter.

"I will ask someone to prepare a set of reagents. If you find a similar gemstone ore, crush it and grind it into a powder and pour it into the reagent. If the reagent changes color, it means it is mon.a.z.ite."

"This kind of...mon.a.z.ite, is it...very valuable?" Buzz really wanted to scratch his ears. He couldn't remember the first time he asked Ye Qing if the stone was worth anything.

……

But what can we do?

Poor Africa, poor Nigeria, and poor General Mopu. For the money, they are even ready to sell all available mineral resources. If this kind of behavior is betrayal, Buzz felt that the high sell is far from enough to have a good new life, because traitors can usually sell anything to achieve their goal. They are still far from this stage and must redouble their efforts to improve the lives of their inhabitants!

……

"It's not about the money."

Ye Qing smiled and said word by word: "It is a strategic metal and is an extremely important rare earth metal mineral in today's electronics industry. It extracts a variety of rare metal elements, and you can consider it the equivalent in gold."

If Buzz is struck by lightning, he doesn't understand the strategy and rare piles of earth, but he understands the equivalent of gold and how big the mountain range is around the entire rainforest of Sotu. If there are the three colors of gem minerals that Mr. Ye said are hidden in the mountains, wouldn't they fly up into the sky leading the fish to jump over the Dragon Gate? No ~ even if there are only in one mountain, his country will be developed.

"Don't get excited yet," Ye Qing patted his shoulder, "Rare is precious. Gold is expensive because its reserves are scarce. The same goes for mon.a.z.ite, although it can be linked to this mountain range, it might not exist, but whether it exists or not, this matter must be kept secret. Because not only does, we want to get it, any industrial company and government in the countries developed want to get this kind of thing."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will immediately call General Mopu and ask him to arrange his confidants to go to the Sotu rainforest to collect stones, and as soon as the mon.a.z.ite is found, I will let you know as soon as possible."

"When will the plane leave again?"

"After tomorrow, Mr. Ye, as you know, flights from China to Nigeria are not every day."

"Leave as soon as you have the chemical reagents," Ye Qing said without a doubt: "I will arrange a special plane for you, and at the same time I will send Mr. Jin Liuhai to accompany you."

"Oh!"

Buzz was surprised Mr. Ye will arrange a special plane for him! The President of Nigeria doesn't get that kind of treatment, and Mr. Jin Liuhai will go with him...and he remembered the ambush when General Mopu sent a competent general to send Mr. Jin Liuhai to the airport. Mr. Jin Liuhai singled out all the enemies, and all the enemies were shot in the eyebrows.
