Chapter 618: fifth Element

The Christmas holiday is fleeting, and this holiday is even shorter for Tan Zhenhua, because he had to start a long air journey ahead of time-first to the magic city, from the magic city to the Xiangjiang River, and then from the Xiangjiang River. Fly to Tokyo, and after a short stay in Japan and visit a friend, then fly to San Francisco.
Therefore, he only spent a short period of two days in Ningdu. Apart from a few long phone calls with Zheng Xiangqing, Guo Yicheng, Wang Jishan and others, and chatting with Liu Mei about the recent situation, he learned that she had already After taking over the labor service company in its entirety and starting to try to join hands with Zheng Xiangqing to carry out the "group buying" business, he closed the door and thanked his customers, concentrated on being a beloved father and mother for two days, and finally reluctantly looked at them. Embarked on a journey.
On this trip to Xiangjiang, he was not alone, but with him was our lame director Zhan Nuozhu.
Um, the word "Vice" on Zhan Nuozhu's position disappeared surreptitiously at some point.
This crippled man, who was promoted and didn't know how to invite the young master to dinner, was really a stingy iron cock!
Tan Zhenhua mumbled and got off the plane and exited the plane. At a glance, he saw a person beckoning desperately at him. He still yelled in impure Chinese: "Zhenhua, here, here."
He greeted him with a laugh, hugged him, patted him affectionately on the shoulder, and said, "Jewen, you arrived earlier than me. How was the road going?"
Wu Juewen smiled and said, "It went smoothly. Actually, I just arrived. I checked the flight time and I guess you will be there soon, so I just waited here for you.
"Okay, walk around, first go to my grandfather's house, we will live there these few days in Xiangjiang, it's quiet and safe, but comfortable."
"That's great, it saves me the money to open a hotel room, Zhenhua, you know, compared to you, I am a poor man."
"Come on, my son, crying poor can't increase your wealth, but only bring my contempt... And I can guarantee that you will soon be rich, very, very rich... By the way, I Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhan from China, he will be responsible for purchasing all our ore."
When Wu Juewen heard this introduction, he immediately understood the identity of the lame man who was with Tan Zhenhua, so he politely stepped forward and shook hands with Zhan Nuozhu and said: "Mr. Zhan, I hope we can cooperate happily, and I would like to take care of him in the future. "
Zhan Nuozhu also replied politely: "Yes, everyone gets rich together. By the way, I also want to thank Master Wu for taking care of our prospecting team in Myanmar. I will have to trouble you in the future."
While talking, the driver sent by the Shao family also came over, and after saluting Tan Zhenhua, led a few people onto the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.
This silver spirit was already Elder Shao’s own car, and this was Tan Zhenhua. Except for him, anyone who was qualified to let the old man send this car to pick him up could be counted with one hand.
Wu Juewen was able to appear here, of course, because the Burmese jade prospecting team that made Tan Zhenhua's heart had finally achieved fruitful results after more than half a year of hard work.
But this result is quite unexpected.
Regrettably to Tan Zhenhua, the prospecting team searched all possible locations around Mogok and only found a small uranium ore field. Although the quality and abundance are good, the reserves are not large. Tan Zhenhua's expectations are far apart. Although it has a certain mining value, it also makes a series of follow-up arrangements for him to no avail, and makes him ridiculed by Zhan Nuozhu.
Fortunately, the prospecting team discovered an unexpected joy in the process of looking for this uranium mine, which finally saved him face.
They found an ultrabasic rock formation in a place called Taigongdang on the Irrawaddy River, about 150 kilometers northwest of Mogok, and a nickel mine in it.
This is a laterite-type nickel silicate mine. According to the exploration results sent by the prospecting team, the ore reserves of this nickel mine are likely to exceed 40 million tons, and the average phase of its ore reaches 2%, which is Said that the nickel reserves of this nickel mine are as high as 800,000 tons!
Based on this proven data alone, the reserves of the Taigongdang nickel mine have already ranked as the largest known laterite nickel deposit on the Asian continent!
Nickel, a silver-white metal, was successfully separated and prepared by Swedish mineralogist Kronstadt in 1751. Once discovered, it has been widely used in metal alloys due to its good mechanical strength and ductility, refractory and high temperature resistance, high chemical stability, and non-oxidation in the air.
Nickel is an important component of stainless steel, high-nickel alloy steel and alloy structural steel. It is widely used in various military manufacturing industries such as aircraft, radar, missiles, tanks, ships, spacecraft, and atomic reactors. In the civil industry, structural steel, acid-resistant steel, heat-resistant steel, etc., made of nickel as the main alloy additive component, are widely used in various machinery manufacturing industries. Nickel can also be used as ceramic pigments and anti-corrosion coatings, while permanent magnet materials made of nickel-cobalt alloys are widely used in electronic remote control, atomic energy industry and ultrasonic technology. In the chemical industry, nickel is also often used as a hydrogenation catalyst.
Due to its excellent properties, nickel has become an indispensable metal in the modern aviation industry, national defense industry, and the establishment of a modern system of human high-level material and cultural life.
However, for such an important metal deposit, China's proven reserves are extremely limited.
Just take the time of 1982 as an example. The largest nickel mine in the country is the Limahe nickel mine in Huili County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. The production of this mine once occupied the whole China at its most brilliant time. 70% of annual nickel metal output.
So, what is this 70%?
The answer is 1,200 tons.
Moreover, the total reserves of this nickel mine are only less than 30,000 tons, and after nearly 30 years of mining, the ore in the mining area is nearly exhausted.
But the newly discovered Burmese jade Taigongdang nickel deposit is nearly 30 times that of the Limahe nickel deposit, the largest nickel deposit currently known in China!
It can also be seen to what extent China lacks nickel, the fifth most abundant element on the Blue Star.
In fact, even in 2017 before Tan Zhenhua was reborn, despite the substantial increase in prospecting capabilities, many nickel mines hidden in deep mountains, forests and seas or deep underground were explored, making China’s proven nickel reserves have reached the world’s largest Eight, but affected by traffic, mining capacity, smelting level, etc., as the largest nickel consumer in the entire Bluestar, it still needs to import more than 500,000 tons of nickel each year!
Therefore, the discovery of this Taigongdang nickel mine is really exciting and good news.
However, in order to turn these figures on paper into materials that China really needs urgently, an important problem needs to be solved.
Wu Juewen, of course, came with this question.
