Chapter 79: World-class rare metal veins (3/5 please subscribe)

[Report to the host that a large metal depleted vein has been found, about 20 million cubic meters. 】
Hearing the sound of the system, Su Jiu had a look of shock in his eyes. He had just entered the mountains, and unexpectedly the system discovered a mine vein.
Then, a picture appeared in front of Su Jiu's eyes. He saw an exhausted mineral vein lying in the mountain range in front of him.
This vein is more than 50 meters deep underground, more than 800 meters long, more than 200 meters wide, and more than 100 meters high.
This mineral vein is definitely a rare large-scale mineral vein in China.
"Metal vein? System, what kind of metal vein is it?"
Su Jiu stopped and asked curiously, there are a lot of metals, some are valuable, and some are cheaper.
Such a large vein would be valuable if it were just ordinary metal, but the value would not be that high.
[Report to the host, this vein contains a wide variety of metals, including 105 rare metals such as beryllium, lithium, tantalum... etc. 】
[If this vein is regenerated, its reserves will be at least about 80 million tons. 】
"What? So many?"
Hearing this, Su Jiu couldn't bear itZhu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.
This turned out to be a vein of rare metals. In the history of China, I am afraid that only the No. 3 mine in Keketuohai can compare with it.
After more than half a century of mining, the No. 3 mine in Keketuohai has transformed from a mountain more than 200 meters above the surface into a pit 250 meters long, 200 meters deep and 240 meters wide.
Pit No. 3 is a pegmatite vein mine that is rich in 86 of the more than 140 useful minerals known in the world.
Among them, beryllium metal resources rank first in China.
But the mineral vein in front of us is far beyond the No. 3 mine.
The types of rare metals contained alone exceed those of Mine No. 3.
What is Pit No. 3?
It is a 'natural geological museum' recognized by the global geological community. During the war years, Mine No. 3 repaid 47% of Big Brother's debt for China.
Big Brother also relied on the rare resources of Pit 3 to support the most deterrent nuclear weapons during the Cold War and developed space and aerospace technology that matched the West.
Mine No. 3 is no longer just an ordinary mine, it is this pit that made immortal contributions to the explosion of China's first atomic (please subscribe) bomb and hydrogen (please vote) bomb.
In addition, this pit provides a solid material foundation and financial backing for the successful explosion of nuclear bombs, aerospace vision, and the development of related cutting-edge technologies.
This mine was once China's top secret. Since the 1950s, the name "Kokotuo Sea" has completely disappeared from China's maps, replaced by the mysterious number "111".
Even after so many years, a considerable part of the materials used in the "Shenzhou" series of aerospace projects came from this mine.
This mine has also produced mineral treasures that shocked countless people.
For example, 16 kilograms of aquamarine, 17 kilograms of topaz, 60 kilograms of tantalum-niobium single crystal ore, 500 kilograms of crystal blocks...
Especially the 60 kilograms of tantalum-niobium single crystal ore, in which the tantalum-niobium content exceeds 70%.
You must know that tantalum and niobium are called "rare metals in the age of the universe and sky."
Its alloys are widely used in rockets, artificial satellites, space shuttles, etc.
Moreover, there are 7 rare elements that were not originally included in Mendeyev's periodic table of chemical elements.
In the end, it was filled in with the discovery of Pit No. 3. This alone is enough to see the value of Pit No. 3.
Back then, a No. 3 mine had made China rise and shocked the whole world.
At this time, another mineral vein even more terrifying than Pit No. 3 appeared.
Pit No. 3 has been temporarily closed due to the depletion of lithium resources in the ore body, continued sluggish economic performance, and changes in the management system.
"But now there is a rare metal vein comparable to the No. 3 mine. Our land in China is really vast and rich in resources."
Su Jiu couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
This mineral vein cannot be compared with the helium 3 mineral vein, because both mineral veins cannot be measured in terms of money.
If the helium 3 mineral veins can provide China with inexhaustible energy, then this mineral vein in front of us provides a solid carrier for these energy sources.
With this mineral vein in front of us, China's various fields will inevitably receive huge improvements again.
In particular, these rare metals can allow China to make more breakthroughs in nuclear weapons, aerospace and even space exploration.
Beryllium is an indispensable raw material for running nuclear reactors. Cesium is an ideal fuel for rocket engines. Humanity's most accurate 'atomic clock' is derived from cesium.
The isotope lithium-6 extracted from lithium ore processing is an important driving force for detonating hydrogen bombs...
Su Jiu couldn't figure out how much shock this mineral vein would cause the whole world once it was exposed.
"System, I just want to know how much energy is needed to regenerate this vein."
Although Su Jiu was shocked, the consumption of energy was what he was most concerned about.
He didn't know why this mineral vein was exhausted, and Su Jiu didn't want to think about it. Anyway, there was such an exhausted mineral vein right in front of him, waiting for him to regenerate.
But according to his estimate, the energy required to regenerate this vein may not be simple.
[The system is determining, host please wait...]
The system didn't give an answer directly, which made Su Jiu a little surprised, but it made sense after thinking about it.
After all, there are so many rare metals, and some of them must have different values ​​when they are regenerated.
[Report to the host, two million energy points are required to fully regenerate this mine. 】
"Two million?"
Su Jiu frowned. This mineral vein was 20 million cubic meters in size, and now his control range was 5 million cubic meters.
It is equivalent to four regenerations, each time requiring 500,000 energy points.
"It's really expensive."
Su Jiu took a deep breath. He had spent five million energy points to upgrade his regeneration level before. At that time, he only had more than 20,000 energy points.
It has only been half a month now, although there is systematic random energy every day.
But now there are only more than 700,000 points of energy, which is still a long way from two million.
"Wait slowly, at least we know there is such a mine here."
"And the system also said before that the energy points after the mission is completed will definitely far exceed the energy points I spent."
Thinking of this, Su Jiu suppressed his thoughts for the time being. He still had about 1.3 million energy points left, which was only a month away. He could still afford to wait.
"Mr. Su, what's wrong with you?"
The two people following Su Jiu saw Su Jiu's changing expressions, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
"It's okay. I have finished surveying this mountain range. Let's go to the next mountain range."
Su Jiu said with a smile.
"Ah? Is the survey finished?"
The two of them looked confused. They had just arrived.At the foot of the mountain, why did the other party suddenly finish surveying?
In the past, the other party would at least go for a walk in the mountains, and it looked like he was exploring for mineral veins.
But now it's good, I took one look at the foot of the mountain and left.
If they hadn't seen Su Jiu discover the tens of millions of cubic meters of jade mine before, they would have doubted whether Su Jiu was teasing them.
"Mr. Su, are there any mineral veins here?"
···········Ask for flowers·· 0
One of them asked curiously.
"There are veins of minerals."
Su Jiu nodded and said with a smile. He was in a very good mood after discovering such a large mineral vein.
"Is there really a mineral vein? What kind of mineral vein is this?"
The two were confused. They still didn't quite believe what Su Jiu said.
"This matter involves state secrets, it's better for you not to know."
"Let's go and have a look at the mountains over there."
Su Jiu said and continued walking forward.
"Do you believe what Mr. Su said?"
Looking at Su Jiu's back, one of them asked.
"I believe there is a mineral vein, but I don't believe that this mineral vein involves state secrets. Could it be another helium 3 mineral vein?"
"It's definitely not a helium 3 vein. How could a helium 3 vein be discovered at a glance? I guess Mr. Su didn't want to tell us, so he said it's a state secret. This may be just an ordinary vein."
The other person nodded secretly when they heard this, and they also thought it was possible.
But he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, they were just here to protect Su Jiu, and they didn't understand the matter of the mineral veins.
"The mountains near Fengcheng are really a good place. There are more mineral veins here than there are in Lincheng."
.... ........
While walking on the road, Su Jiu was in a very good mood because she discovered a large rare metal vein.
Although there are many mountains on the Lincheng side, there are less than twenty mineral veins, many of which are small.
Unlike Fengcheng, although there are fewer mountains here, almost every mountain range has mineral veins.
They have been to seven peaks in the past few days, and all of these seven peaks have mineral veins, iron ore, copper mine... Su Jiu even discovered a small gold vein.
Coupled with the newly discovered large rare metal vein, he has now discovered eight veins in the mountains around Fengcheng.
"I don't know how many energy points these eight veins can allow the system to calculate."
Su Jiu was also looking forward to it, especially because the rare metal vein would allow the system to calculate at least two million energy points.
"I've just visited eight mountain ranges, and there are seven more mountains left. If we find another rare metal vein..."
Su Jiu swallowed, feeling a little excited. She couldn't help but start to speed up her steps, and asked the two people behind her to catch up quickly.
This made the two of them a little surprised. After all, they had given way to Su Jiu when climbing the mountain before. They didn't expect that the other party would be so motivated now.
While Su Jiu was surveying the mountains, news on the Internet about various countries' suppression of China had become very popular.
The Foreign Education Department of China (asking for flowers) has condemned the actions of various countries and stated that the helium-3 veins will not be traded with other countries as diplomatic supplies. The attitude is already very tough.

This has also made many people secretly frightened. Judging from China's attitude, it is obvious that it intends to compete with other countries.
The bosses of various countries were also a little surprised. They did not expect that China would directly confront them. After all, this time they were not a country, but a coalition of many countries.
China's attitude has also made many countries hesitate. Although China relies on imported minerals, they still need to rely on China in some aspects, especially in terms of food. China is a big food country.
People can survive without minerals, but without food they can only wait to die. A big country like the United States may not have any impact, but some small countries cannot afford to be hurt.
It is precisely this way that although the two sides have confronted each other, other countries have not taken any follow-up actions, and they do not want to break up with China.
And just when everyone thought that this silent war might have dissipated, another piece of news came out... Force.
