Chapter 261 Resolutely not export raw materials

"As for the small pure molybdenum crucible, we must wait until the large tungsten crucible is processed before high temperature sintering can be carried out in a vacuum furnace with a large tungsten crucible, so as to ensure that the performance of the entire pot meets our requirements..." Liu Yijiu With a sigh, these things are all linked together.

Without him, just the big tungsten crucible, it would have to wait until after the 21st century that a large number of tungsten and molybdenum products factories with heavy pollution, high energy consumption, reduced profit scale and little technical content have been shut down. China has such an opportunity when production orders are handed over to China, and even for production in China.

Unlike other pure tungsten crucibles, this thing must be sintered at high temperature and high pressure for dozens of hours, and then must be mechanically processed.

The technology is very difficult. Pure tungsten products, especially huge crucibles, can bear very little force because of their thin walls. If you don't pay attention, the whole crucible will break or crack.And these large tungsten crucibles with hundreds of diameters are more difficult to process because the length becomes longer as the diameter increases, but the wall thickness does not change. If you don't pay attention, this thing is completely scrapped.

Once there is chipping or material defects occur during sintering, the entire crucible is discarded.

A vacuum sintering furnace, high-frequency furnace three to five million, just this crucible, it has to occupy one-third to half of the cost.

"Director Liu, this pot requires 700 to 800 kilograms of tungsten powder. The cost is not low..." Chen Xiangwei did not know their plan, but he knew how high the cost would be. One ton of pure tungsten powder would be required. More than two hundred thousand, plus various costs, will definitely not be cheap.

Hearing Chen Xiangwei's words, Zheng Hao on one side couldn't help but grinned.

When it comes to money, he hurts.

Liu Yijiu shook his head, thinking that this was not a problem at all."We produce our own raw materials, and start from the basics to the end. Even if it is scrapped, we can use a chemical agent to react these pure tungsten into blue tungsten and re-prepare it. All we consume are labor and energy and other processing costs. Any product The research and development are all necessary! What's more, the powder during rough machining of the blank after isostatic pressing can be used in cemented carbide tools, and there is no need to go back and restore..."

Liu Yijiu knew this kind of thing very clearly.

In the end, the Republic’s research on tungsten was basically the strongest country in the world, because this country has the world’s richest reserves of tungsten resources. After the 21st century, European and American countries in order to seal their domestic mineral resources, I began to import a large number of these products from China, although the cost is high, but the profit is due to the fierce competition within China...

"The cost of these crucibles is so high, isn't it a waste?" What Zheng Hao hopes most is that Liu Yijiu can cancel this investment.

They don’t really have much money in their hands.

"What is the waste? Do you think I was really upset that American talents sent them to Chengdu? Our new gun steel needs heavy rare earths, and our guidance system needs light rare earths. These are not comparable to pure molybdenum crucibles. Disconnected. The Americans and Soviets have not studied this aspect yet..." Liu Yijiu's meaning is very obvious.

For the Republic to obtain large sums of foreign exchange from the Americans, it is too slow to rely solely on primary mineral resources and industrial raw materials and products, and even the cost of processing on behalf of others.

In order for the Republic to expand the source of foreign exchange in the early days, he had to be shown to the Americans by these technologies and craftsmanship that the United States had only developed in the late 1980s or early decades.Of course, he couldn't help it.

If the leaders above are not allowed to understand the value of the rare earth industry and strategic resources that some other countries have not studied, these mineral resources of the Republic will still be digged by private individuals, and eventually used by the United States and Japan, which the Chinese like to fight in. The characteristics are mutually depressed and only exported to Japan and the United States at the price of cabbage.

Japan, a small country, desperately imported rare earth ore from China when it had the opportunity, and then hoarded it.

Many electronic products, especially military electronic products, must use rare earth elements to improve performance.The precision guidance of the missile cannot leave some light rare earth elements.

The performance enhancement of gun steel, new armor materials, and even high-temperature alloys, the addition of different rare earth elements, the performance will become very different.The characteristics of this material were not fully studied even in Liu Yijiu's time.However, some energy weapons must be based on some rare earth elements.

Unfortunately, at that time, the original rich rare earth resources on the Republic's land had been hollowed out by those domestic bastards who only cared about immediate interests.In the end, I had to look into the sea...

"Sell this thing to Americans? Director Liu, isn't it possible? After all, American technology is much more advanced than ours..." Chen Xiangwei doesn't think that their products can be exported to advanced countries like the United States.

Liu Yijiu didn't say anything. Many people in China would not believe this kind of thing. They did not take some treasures seriously. As a result, Japan and the Americans learned the key things. In the end, it became something for others.

The equipment workshop is very busy, mainly for the production of some tungsten and molybdenum materials, mainly various furnace bodies.

As for the overall machinery and equipment used in rolling, they cannot produce it.

The transformation of various equipment inside has been carried out for a long time.

"Xiao Liu, can these things really work? If the Americans don't want them then, we will be really dumbfounded..." Zheng Hao and Liu Yijiu strolled around the 754 factory, all kinds of transformations. There is no need to intervene anymore. If everything is done by yourself, don't expect to be able to do anything else.

After watching the progress of the renovation in the 754th factory, the speed was still a little bit slower than what they had imagined. There is no way this can be done. It's not as good as in the mountains here.

The 755 factory is one of the few electronics factories in Chengdu. The scale of this factory is similar to that of the 754 factory. The diodes it produces are of no use to the current Ninth Academy base, but many electronic components can be produced here.

Especially computer chips and some electronic products that need to be used on radar.

Some equipment in the base has been transported here by train, and a silicon wafer production line will be built here.At the same time, the production of chips will also be put into this in the future. Now these factories, the largest investment is the 754 factory and the 755 factory, of course, there is also the state-owned Jialing Machine Factory in Shancheng.

Regarding the future prospects of the factory, Duan Huimin, the director of the 755 factory, is not sure about the few female cadres in this era.

She doesn't have the ambitions of other managers. She just hopes that the factory will not be closed down and that it will be able to pay the employees affordable wages.The higher-level competent department asked her to make the transformation, and she naturally did it as required.Even if she didn't know anything about the things she produced, it didn't affect her earnestly performing these tasks.

"Duan Huimin is good, and the execution is relatively strong." Zheng Hao saw the internal situation of the 754 factory, and it has changed greatly from the decline they saw when they first came here.

The environment in the whole factory has changed a lot. When workers have nothing to do, they organize and study inside instead of sitting together playing poker or a group of children and workers sitting together playing sweaters and chatting, and they are also nearby. Children without naked butts who are not going to school run around the factory buildings.

"It can only be a factory management..." Liu Yijiu sighed.

Such a person, as the director of the factory, if there is no leader of the Ninth Institute above, and the Ninth Institute does not have Liu Yijiu, he will eventually face bankruptcy.

"We don’t let the Americans know about these things from the 754 factory? I think this kind of product is what they need most, and it is also what we can exchange for a large amount of foreign exchange. There is not much usage in China, so we can ask them first Provide round crystal..." Zheng Hao and Liu Yijiu checked various progress in the 755 factory, and also listened to Duan Huimin’s work progress on the promotion of the factory’s seven-specialization agreement. These workers had been idle for a long time, but now they have hope. , Naturally have to work hard.

People at this age are relatively simple, not many people want to get paid and not go to work.

"Doing raw material production? We absolutely can't do this kind of thing!" Liu Yijiu resolutely objected, "If we want to export, we also have to export finished products. After our chip development reaches a certain level, we will develop it specifically for the European and American civilian markets. Some chips are exported instead of only wafer materials. Once electronic circuits are added to them, the price will be many times higher..." Liu Yijiu would not agree to these companies to supply various basic materials.

Unless high-temperature alloys, titanium alloys, and cemented carbides are super materials with insufficient domestic technology and insufficient production capacity.

"But if we can't make the 755 factory have export products as soon as possible, what can we produce in China?" Zheng Hao said distressedly.

He only has that little money in his pocket. It hasn’t been a long time now, and millions are gone.

"I already have an eye on this. I will think about it again. If there is no problem, let's talk about it when the time comes. Don't worry, these factories will be more difficult in the early stage. As long as the products are on the right track, we will only think about us in the end. I don’t have enough production capacity, and I don’t think these are burdens..." Liu Yijiu sighed.

Then he looked at the watch on his wrist. The American was about to arrive.

Several people left the factory and returned to the guest house. They are going to receive Americans tonight, and perhaps they will reopen negotiations tonight.
