Monster Factory

Abnormally low profile during pick-up.

After landing at the airport, the two Il-76 were towed into the exclusive hangar of Giant Beast Industries.

The cockpit tailgate then opened and two men worked hard in a large forklift, one of which transported the casket-like lead cabinets onto the container's heavy card.

Hours later, these lead cabinets were transferred to the Longxi Beach factory.

In the underground base, a very highly industrialized rare metal purification plant has been established, albeit on a small scale, with a daily production capacity of up to about 100 tons.

This is because when the plant on the other side of the Soto Rainforest is built, the metal purification will be carried out there.

At that time, the direct airlift was a piece of high-purity silver-white metal.

In a highly clean sealed underground factory, Ye Qing dressed in protective clothing, his heart stood beside him with great excitement, watching the giant labor cut open a lead cabinet and took it out into piles of taupe brown metal ingots.

These are raw materials with a metal purity of 80% and a content of about 8%.

In front of Ye Qing, it is a silver-white metal cylinder shaped industrial equipment. At the end of these machines, there are plenty of reactor kettles, and a huge metal furnace.

They are purifying equipment, and labor has begun to move these metal ingots, placing their yards in a vacuum arc furnace for the first step of smelting.

The refining method of rare earth metal ore is both simple and complex.

Simple, simple enough for some outlaws to secretly organize people to steal mines. All you need to do is drill dense, numb deep holes in the mine and inject specific chemicals into those deep holes to react with rare earth mines and oxidize and dissolve the internal metallic elements. These solutions were then extracted from deep wells and injected into the pool for further treatment.

What should we do?

It is roughly divided into three categories: acid, alkali and chlorination. The extracted solution contains a large number of rare metallic elements, which are reduced to crystals using chemical variation principles, and finally milled into powder, resulting in raw materials of rare earth metals that can be sold, smuggled to foreign factories for a more technical single metal separation step, and then sold at high prices in those foreign factories.

Why does my country keep stealing rare earth? It is precisely through the use of these large-scale chemical raw materials, which can be freely procured, that rare earth metal raw materials can be extracted from the ore.

These raw materials are stacked in the shed like flour, and every bag smuggled out sells tens of thousands of dollars.

This approach, however, seriously damages the natural environment. Usually a mountain punches a hole and injects liquid chemicals into it, and the vegetation of the whole mountain withers to death.

Those extracted solutions require significant water use in the chemical reduction process. Illegal molecules discharge these post-use contaminated water directly into lake rivers, with the sole result that aquatic organisms die on a large scale.

It is a simple purification method and a selling country method for the theft and sale of strategic goods of the country.

The complex purification method is the one being used in the Longxi Beach factory.

Powerful labor will put the previous mini factory, by grinding the magnetic selection, and finally die-casting the ingot raw material, into a vacuum furnace, heating it to 3,500 degrees, vaporizing all the metal material inside. These metal gases are then introduced directly into the centrifuge, relying on gas centrifugation to further purify the different metal molecules in the separated metal gases.

A gas centrifuge, just five simple words.

represents an insurmountable height in the industrial sphere.

Because of this approach, it is possible to master the pure extraction of enriched uranium-235 from uranium mines.

Originally Ye Qing can choose a cheaper chemical reaction purification technology, with strong ionizing sewage treatment system, Ye Qing can avoid any water pollution. Gas centrifugation, however, can be used not only to separate the various single metal molecules in these rare metals. It can also lay the foundations for purification of mica minerals of calcium uranium minerals mined in mining areas.

Ye Qing does not intend to build an atomic bomb, it needs tens of thousands of centrifuges to work in parallel.

However, energy towers require inputs to produce more energy, and enriched uranium-235 is by far the best material available.

Using the energy tower to power the centrifuge, the gas centrifuge turned on, standing in the plant Ye Qing, suddenly felt that the heavens and earth were connected to a high-power vibrator, and the brain was blocked, even the blood was vibrating rapidly.

There are hundreds of centrifuges in front of us, each at 100,000 revolutions per minute.

What is this concept?

There are plenty of super sports cars on the market that say they can blow up the streets, with engines up to a maximum speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute, even on top of the sky, and with 10,000 revolutions, they last more than five minutes, even if it's a miracle.

These centrifuges are 100,000 revolutions in front of you, and this is the normal operating speed that you need to keep for more than a day.

However, in the case of 100,000 revolutions per minute, hundreds of centrifuges in front of Ye Qing, with the naked eye, did not have any jitter production, or even come to the housing resonance phenomenon.

This suggests that the spindle balance of these centrifuges at hand has reached incredible technical levels. And the noise around Ye Qing is not the mechanical sound of an engine, but the feeling that every molecule in the air is vibrating.

In front of these industrial equipment, even if 10,000 overruns, what is it?

Can superrun engines use magnetic suspension bearings that do not make any physical contact?

The superrun engine spindle can achieve near perfect linearity and neatly arrange the internal crystal structure. Even if it is cut into hundreds of cuts, the weight error of each cutoff does not exceed one hair, that is, zero point five grams of weight per thousand?

If this is not possible, the centrifuges in front of Ye Qing's eyes have higher technical content than the centrifuges used to separate uranium-235 in those large countries. This is also why Ye Qing chose to hide in the underground base. Just get a set of chemical purification equipment from the factory outside that will produce a lot of chemically contaminated water.

After spending less than two minutes in the sealing plant, Ye Qing ran out sweating. Industrial power, though shaken, is inviolable.

However, the final purification result of the centrifuge, Ye Qing can be observed through another device.

The equipment is called a gas deposition chamber, and the centrifuge can sequentially separate the heaviest metals depending on the weight of the metal molecule. For example, hafnium, lanthanum, cerium, and hafnium, these metal densities vary, and they also create different molecular weights of metals.

Gas centrifuges used by major Powers can separate uranium from uranium elements 235, and 238.

You know, uranium 235 is only 1.6% lighter than 238, but at high speeds of centrifuge rotation, slightly heavier 238 is thrown to the periphery, not to mention rare earth metal elements with significantly larger molecular weights.

At nine o'clock in the evening, in the plant's underground base, the metal elements separated for the third time slowly gathered in the settling chamber.

These shimmering silver gases are cooled and sprayed directly onto a clear glass substrate, slowly accumulating higher as snow.

Not for long, a piece of metal weighing up to one ton appeared quietly in front of Ye Qing.
