Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The value of rare earths is difficult to describe. The stronger the industrial strength, the more rare earth resources are needed.

On the contrary, for agricultural countries, this thing is useless to them. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away, as they are unable to utilize its value.

The next are bauxite and silver mines.

The northwestern mountainous area of ​​Northern Monkey is very rich in mineral resources, and its rare earth reserves rank second in the world. The global rare earth reserves are about 1.2 million tons, and Northern Monkey alone has 2200 million tons of rare earth resources.

Unfortunately, they themselves do not realize how precious this mineral is.

Longguo has 4400 million tons of natural gas. It can use its own products at any time, but it should give priority to obtaining external products when it can be obtained.

Our aerospace technology is booming and advancing, and the smelting of alloys, the manufacturing of steel, etc. all require rare earth minerals.

Airplanes, tanks, warships, spacecraft and missiles all rely on rare earth resources.

Its value is inestimable.

For us, every ton of rare earth is worth a lot of money, but for the Northern Monkeys, this thing is almost the same price as earthworks.

Ruan Pan Fangxiu often dealt with the Southern Yunnan Corps. The two sides were closest to each other and had the most contact.

His father has a good background in the military. The commander of the Northwest region of the Northern Monkeys is Ruan Xiu's father, Ruan Kaitian.

"Da Biao, judging from the name, this is a woman's name, right?"

"Yes, she is a female colonel, and she is very beautiful."

As Zhang Dabiao spoke, he also looked at Ding Wei, thinking that the commander should personally take action to capture both the people and the mine.

Don't talk about useless things.

"Arrange someone to contact General Ruan and get a direct interview?"

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand.

Ding Wei had just arrived in southern Yunnan and didn't know the detailed situation here.

In order to solve the problem of huge military expenditure, the Northern Monkeys encourage their own troops to do business.

While solving the military expenditure problem, we must also find ways to generate income and make contributions to the higher-ups.

Not only do you have to make money to support yourself, but you also have to hand over certain tasks to the finance department.

Making it so formal actually let the other party know the value of rare earths, so he asked his subordinates to contact Ruan Pan Fangxiu alone and exchange Longguo's military equipment for the mining of minerals in the hands of the other party.

The opponent's military and industrial sectors are relatively backward, and they can only produce machine guns.

If you want better weapons, you can only seek assistance or purchase them yourself.

If General Ruan wants to continue to stand out in the army, he must ensure the combat effectiveness of his troops, otherwise how can he compare with the other generals?

Being close to southern Yunnan is his best chance.

Southern Yunnan has military factories, a powerful military corps, and a relatively advanced military-industrial system.

Although Longguo is still in a state of disrepair, its size means it is already one of the world's leading countries.

Industrial capacity has begun to show results, and the military industry level is No. 1.

Soon, the first batch of orders was received, and the mining rights of 6000 million tons of rare earth ore were purchased at a price of 300 million RMB. One ton only cost 20 RMB, which was cheaper than the watermelons on the roadside.

There are also bauxite and silver mines.

The other party's bauxite reserves can also reach the second largest standard in the world. There are 320 billion tons in the world, and they have about 58 billion tons.

This thing is the main material for making metallic aluminum, and is convenient for use in alloy manufacturing for aerospace, aircraft, etc.

The price is not cheap. Based on the price of 40 yuan per ton, the first 100 million tons has a total value of 4000 million yuan.

After the mining agreement was signed, the highway in southern Yunnan extended directly there.

Mining teams poured in from the mountainous areas and took the lead in mining and excavating rare earths.

Excavation equipment, transport trucks and transport ships poured in.

The other party was very happy. On the one hand, he got a small amount of real money in exchange, and on the other hand, he was promised that after the transaction was completed, the mining equipment and the mining area would be transferred to Commander Ruan for free.

In the future, they can also mine with the equipment themselves and sell it to others.

These equipment are worth millions, and even after depreciation, it will still be a considerable gift.

They are described as those who forget righteousness and are short-sighted.

There is no need to laugh at them. If they were not greedy for profit, how could they let Ding Wei take such a huge advantage?

Can it allow you to transport out rare earth ore and bauxite in truckloads?

As for silver mines, even a fool knows that they are valuable, but the profit is not that great.

But southern Yunnan can take the lead and hand it over to some domestic procurement channels to buy some at low prices. Then they can earn a difference by transferring them to the domestic market.

There are basically no roads in the northern mountainous areas, and coupled with frequent rainy weather, mudslides are common.

This caused unnecessary trouble for transportation.

The best way is to open up another route, turn to the sea from the Red River, and then transport it to Manchuria by ship.

The shipping company is in Mu Wanqiu's hands and has excellent shipping capabilities.

As long as the rare earth minerals are mined, transportation will not be difficult.

A garrison base is being built in Bailongwei, and a ship carrying 10,000 tons of cargo was seen leaving from the seaside.

Luo Rui exclaimed, "Wow! Commander Ding has only been in southern Yunnan for a month, and he's already started selling mines?"

What is efficiency?

What is execution?

This is efficiency.

Rare earths can be used to extract metal elements needed for industry. The price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide is between RMB 30 and RMB 50 per ton, and the price of neodymium oxide is between RMB 40 and RMB 50 per ton.

A little refining will yield expensive rare earth elements.

If you buy it at 20 yuan per ton and extract one ton based on 10 tons, how much can you earn?

Even if 100 ton is extracted from 1 tons, how much will it cost?

Its real value is at least 2000-5000 per ton. Just by selling it without smelting or any other processing, the price can be multiplied by 100-200 times.

If Ding Wei spent 6000 million and earned 200 times, it would be equivalent to 120 small goals.

120 billion yuan! Just do nothing and it will appear in your left hand or right hand.

If it weren't for the purpose of alerting the enemy, they would have wanted to take all the rare earths of the Northern Monkey in one go.

The 2200 million tons of reserves, if all taken, would be worth at least tens of billions of dollars.

I finally understand the truth that a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a country cannot become prosperous without plundering.

Taking it from outside is like giving it for free.

Manchuria has a great demand for rare earth minerals and bauxite, which can be transported by sea and directly used for smelting and extraction in factories.

It is convenient for consumption by research institutes, military factories, etc.
