Chapter 949 (2/2)

As we all know, the surface reserves of titanium ore are relatively rich, which can only be regarded as rare metal rather than precious metal, but titanium alloy is quite rare. There are two difficulties hindering the development of titanium alloy technology, one is the smelting of titanium alloy, the other is the processing of titanium alloy.

The first is smelting, leaving aside the dozens of complicated processing procedures, because the chemical properties of titanium are quite active at high temperature. After titanium ore is processed into sponge titanium, it has to be melted in vacuum arc furnace once or twice to produce high-purity titanium ingot!

Because of the complex production conditions, the cost will naturally go up.

Therefore, the price of titanium ore varies greatly according to the taste. Less impurities means that smelting is difficult, and too many impurities even have no value for processing. But generally speaking, the price of titanium ore is still around 1000 yuan. As for the titanium ingot, the price will soar.

Another is processing. It is useless to make titanium ingots. It is more difficult to process titanium ingots into pipes, plates, screws, bearings and even aeroengines.

Up to now, maozi has passed the welding technology of titanium alloy from the United States. Because maozi's titanium alloy welding technology is good, Siberia's titanium reserves are also very high. The rich old maozi even built several nuclear submarines with titanium alloy, which is said to be full of controversy from the construction to the final service of the alpha class attack nuclear submarine! Not afraid of magnetic mines, mk-48 torpedoes with full horsepower can even get rid of the rear end.

Because of the high cost of titanium alloy production and processing, some people call it ”goldfish”.

Only in the wonderful age of the cold war can such absurd and powerful weapons be born.

But now, nearly 30 million tons of high-grade titanium ore, let Jiangchen also have a thorough ”local tyrant” opportunity. Not to mention the submarine with titanium alloy shell, even if the aluminum alloy material of the whole space elevator is replaced with standard titanium alloy, it is more than enough!

The titanium ore discovered on the bainu asteroid is not only rich in reserves, but also of high taste. In the ore samples, even natural titanium elements have been found! The cost of smelting is much cheaper than any titanium ore on the earth, even the rich ore in the cold region of Siberia!For the 30 million tons of high-grade titanium ore, Jiang Chen has to firmly grasp the asteroid in his hands.

”It's up to you to smelt the ore. The second electric ray P-1 will be finished as soon as possible, and will be delivered to the port of futureman mining in the star ring city next month. You should train qualified pilots as soon as possible. The production of bainu asteroid must be stepped up, especially the titanium ore on it. It is very important for our space colonization plan! ” The report was returned to Yang Yuan's hand, and Jiang Chen immediately ordered the task down.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yang Yuan grinned and patted his chest.

”You can rest assured that space mining is the strategic development direction of our future mining industry! Several mining experts in our company have been training in the astronaut training base on ANGA island for nearly half a year. It won't be long before we can pass the examination of P-1 driving qualification certificate of electric ray. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen also nodded with a smile.

Although the torpedo P-1, which is now under construction on the asteroid Benu, is mined by the future man, the pilot is a pilot renting the ring trade. The main training is A-1 attack type and - 1 transport type. Let the people who drive tanks to mine trams, the mining efficiency will certainly not be high, which is the truth.

Today, he came to the future mining headquarters for two things. Now one of them has been completed, and the last one remains.

”I'll ask you one more thing.”

”Some time ago, we completed the design of the external ore processing unit. How are we getting ready now?” -(Note: for the bainu asteroid, NSAs has just launched a probe to sample, and is expected to return to earth in 20 years. No one knows exactly what the ingredients are. Just like the water on the moon has been proved or not since the 20th century, science fiction is not a popular science book. I will try my best to be rigorous, but I can't guarantee it is correct.)
