Monster Factory

The pick-up process is unusually low-key. .

After the two Il 76 landed at the airport, they were towed into the exclusive hangar of the giant beast industry.

Then the tailgate of the cabin was opened, and two giants drove a large forklift truck to transport the coffin-like lead cabinets to the container heavy truck.

A few hours later, these lead cabinets were dedicated to the Longxitan factory.

In the underground base, a rare metal purification plant with a very high degree of industrialization has been established, but the scale is not large, and the daily production capacity is up to 100 tons.

This is because after the construction of the factory in the Soto rainforest, the metal purification work will be carried out there.

At that time, directly by air, it is a piece of high-purity silver-white metal enamel.

In the highly clean sealed underground factory, Ye Qing was wearing protective clothing and stood in the heart with great excitement. He watched the giant laborer cut a piece of lead cabinet and took out a pile of taupe metal ingots from the inside.

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

In front of Ye Qing, it is an industrial equipment with a silver-white metal tube shape. At the end of these devices, there are a large number of reactors and a huge metal furnace.

They are purification equipment, and Juli has begun to carry these metal ingot materials, put them in a vacuum arc furnace, and carry out the first step of melting.

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

Simplistic, simple to some lawless elements, secretly organize people to mine and mine. It is only necessary to make dense deep holes in the mine, and then inject specific chemicals into these deep holes to react with the rare earth ore to oxidize and dissolve the internal metal elements. These solutions are then extracted from the deep wells, injected into the pond for further processing.

How to deal with it?

Divided into three categories, acid, alkali and chlorination. The extracted solution contains a large amount of rare metal elements, which are reduced to crystals by the principle of chemical change, and finally the crystals are ground into powder to obtain a rare earth metal raw material which can be sold.

Why is China’s piracy of rare earths repeatedly prohibited? It is because of the large-scale chemical raw materials that can be purchased at will, the rare earth metal raw materials can be extracted from the ore.

These raw materials are piled up in the shed like flour, and each bag can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

However, this method seriously damages the natural environment. Usually a hole is made in a mountain, and liquid chemicals are injected into it, and the vegetation of the whole mountain is withered.

Those extracted solutions require a large amount of water during the chemical reduction process. The lawless elements directly discharge these used polluted water into the lakes and rivers, and the only result is that the aquatic organisms die in large areas.

This is a simple purification method.

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

Juli has worked on the previous mini factory, grinding and magnetically selecting it, and finally casting it into the raw material of the ingot, putting it into a vacuum furnace and heating it to 3,500 Baidu to vaporize all the metal materials inside. These metal gases are then directly introduced into the centrifuge, and the different metal molecules in the metal gas are further purified by gas centrifugation.

The gas centrifuge is just three words in this simple form.

It represents an insurmountable height in the industrial field.

Because of this method, it is possible to extract and enrich uranium 235 from uranium ore.

Originally, Ye Qing could choose a less expensive chemical reaction purification technology. With a strong ionized sewage treatment system, Ye Qing can avoid any water pollution problems. However, gas centrifugation can be used not only to separate various single metal molecules in these rare metals. It can also lay the foundation for purification of calcium uranium mica minerals mined in the mining area.

Ye Qing does not intend to build atomic bombs, make atomic bombs, and need tens of thousands of centrifuges to work in parallel.

But energy towers need to invest in materials to generate more energy, and enriched uranium 235 is the best material currently available.

Using the energy tower to power the centrifuge, the gas centrifuge opened, and the leaf green standing in the factory suddenly felt that a high-power vibrating machine was connected between the heavens and the earth, and one of the brains was plugged in, even the blood was fast. vibration.

There are a total of hundreds of centrifuges in front of each, and each centrifuge reaches 100,000 revolutions per minute.

What is this concept?

There are a lot of super sports cars on the market that can be said to be able to blow up the street. The maximum speed per minute of the engine can reach 10,000. Even in the case of 10,000 revolutions, it can be more than five minutes to be a miracle.

In front of these centrifuges is 100,000 rpm, and this is its normal working speed, which will last for more than one day.

However, in the case of 100,000 rpm, Ye Qing faced hundreds of centrifuges, and with the naked eye, there was no jitter, and even the shell resonance phenomenon did not occur.

This shows that the balance of the spindles of these centrifuges has reached an incredible technical level. And the noise around Ye Qing is not like the mechanical roar of the engine, but every molecule in the air feels vibrating.

In front of these industrial equipment, even if there are 10,000 super-runs?

Can the super-running engine use a magnetic suspension bearing that does not make any physical contact? The super-running engine main shaft can achieve perfect straightness and the inner crystal structure is neatly arranged. Even if it is cut into hundreds of sections, the weight error of each cut does not exceed one hair, which is 0.50 per thousand. weight?

Unable to do, these centrifuges in front of Ye Qing are more technical than those used in large countries to separate uranium 235. This is why Ye Qing chose to hide in the underground base. The outside factory will get a chemical purification equipment that will produce a lot of chemically polluted water.

After staying in the sealed factory for less than two minutes, Ye Qing ran out with sweat. Although the industrial power is shocking, it cannot be violated.

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

The device name is the gas settling chamber, which varies according to the weight of the metal molecules. The centrifuge can separate the heaviest metals in sequence. For example, yttrium, lanthanum, cerium, lanthanum, these metals have different densities, which also make the weight of metal molecules different.

Gas centrifuges used in large countries can separate uranium 235, and 238 from uranium.

It is important to know that uranium 235 is only 1.6% lighter than 238, but at the high speed of the centrifuge, a slightly heavier 238 will be smashed to the periphery, not to mention the rarer metal elements with a much larger molecular weight.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the metal elements separated for the third time in the underground base of the factory slowly gathered in the settling chamber.

These silvery sparkling gases, after cooling, are sprayed directly onto a transparent glass substrate, slowly accumulating as if it were snowing.

It won't take long for a piece of metal scorpion that weighs a ton to appear in front of Ye Qing.
