Another inspiring good news has been heard. A world-class mineral was discovered in my country. Not only is the reserves rich, the key is that this substance is very rare in the world . Moreover, this discovery can help us, breaks the constraints and blockades of other countries in the field of aerospace . Faced with this situation, The United States actually proposed "resource sharing" . How could he be embarrassed about ?
When we describe our country, we always use one word, , the land is vast and the resources are . This is not a boast, because we do have a lot of resources in our vast territory. I won’t talk about ’s natural resources, they are all on the surface. The key to is underground. With the advancement of exploration technology , more and more "treasures" of are being discovered by us.
my country's proven mineral reserves include
The minerals found in Anhui, my country can be applied to in the aerospace field . Although my country has made many breakthroughs in recent years, due to the backwardness of engine technology in , the development of my country's aerospace industry is restricted by .
causes backwardness. is not in terms of design or manufacturing technology. is is limited by the lack of raw materials . For example, rhenium is used for engine manufacturing. has very few reserves in my country.
Following my country's exploration of rhenium ore in Shaanxi , the rhenium ore associated with was discovered in Anhui . The detected reserves are 30 tons . Some people may have said that compared with those minerals with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons, it is too few. Can it be used?
is definitely not enough, but there are indeed quite a lot. Because the current global rhenium ore reserves of add up to
rhenium is a silver-white metal, which is one of the rarest elements on earth . From the perspective of attributes, it is a rare element with a very high boiling point and a particularly low reserve. But from the perspective of modern industry, is crucial, and many geologists even call it " treasure rhenium ".
80% of the world's rhenium is used in aerospace engines , but because the mineral deposits are mostly in the hands of Western countries, , so what we can rely on is the domestic production of 2 tons per year . In addition, even if we offer a high price, cannot buy internationally, and it can be said that it is completely monopolized.
This also leads to my country's always at a disadvantage in the manufacturing of aerospace engines . It is not that we cannot make it, but compared with the United States, Russia and other countries, still has a lot of room for improvement. The reason why cannot create a large-powered engine is also very simple, that is, lacks enough raw material , which is like " is hard to cook without rice ".
Although my country's has been looking for rhenium mines since 1960, , in nearly 50 years, it can be said that has achieved nothing in , which also has led to my country's lack of breakthrough in the field of aerospace engines.
In 2010, geologists discovered
Now, more and more countries are aware of the importance of resources , especially for countries that want to develop aerospace . Even if the rhenium ore is discovered, it cannot be denied that my country's still lacks this resource . In this case, how can we export ? can be said that this discovery will allow us to avoid worrying about where to buy rhenium in for at least 20 years in the future.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the aerospace engines of the United States and Russia, Japan has also continued to "make efforts" in the past two years. The XF-91 aerospace engine developed by is already comparable to the level of the United States . And the reason why they can develop so fast is that is nothing more than "piled" with a large amount of rhenium.
A XF-91 engine uses rhenium to
But it's different now. According to the amount used in Japan, the newly discovered rhenium in my country can make
believe that in the future, my country will surely achieve faster development in the field of aerospace, and discover more and more useful minerals. Do you think so too? welcomes to leave a message in the comment area. If you like this issue, click likes and follow .
