Why did the small tungsten sand become an extremely important defense material for the Third Reich?

That's because the biggest characteristic of tungsten metal is that it has a high melting point. It has a melting point of 3,400°C, so it is called a metal with a high melting point. Tungsten has high hardness, large specific weight, tough nature, can be rolled into thin sheets or drawn into filaments, and has good electrical conductivity. The main uses of tungsten are: with lead, tantalum, chromium, drill alloy can be used to make various cemented carbides, used in geological drilling and mining drill bits, armor-piercing bullets, metal cutting tools, aircraft engines and wear-resistant parts materials.

To put it simply, tungsten can be used as a tool to make weapons, and it can also be used as a barrel to make shells to make airplanes. Isn't this a good thing? It has to be!

China, fortunately, in this era, only the proven tungsten sand reserves account for more than 60% of the world, the absolute first in the world.

In fact, in the future, as more and more tungsten ore is discovered on the earth, China still accounts for 50% of the world's reserves, and one country reaches the world.

I have to say that the ancestors of the Chinese will choose a place and choose a good place for future generations, even if there is no money, a little stone from the ground can be exchanged for money by foreigners.

By contrast, the short-legged inhabitants of the small island nation to the east of China are miserable, and their ancestors chose a place that has nothing but a volcano. Although it is very likely that their ancestors floated by boat from Chinese mainland.

Otherwise, they have been staring at the fertile land of China and drooling! This is also human nature, who let you fight in your nest every day, and the country is full of holes, but you can still dig things from the ground for money at will? It's really a little short leg that makes people bury their heads in development every day, but they still have to tighten their belts to live!

It is an unbreakable truth that if you have wealth but do not have the ability to protect it, you will be beaten if you are backward.

What makes Liu Lang unhappy is that tungsten sand is such a good thing, whether it is the Third Reich or the Western powers, they obviously want it to death, so they almost rob it, but the price is set very low. One ton is twenty quintals of tungsten sand, and the price is a pitiful 1,200 silver oceans, you know, in the future, the price of ordinary tungsten sand is 160,000 people's coins a ton, if it is wolframite concentrate, the price is higher.

If the purchasing power of Yinyang and the people's currency is converted, the international market price of tungsten ore that has been liberalized in the future is also five times higher than now, not to mention that it is still before the war, when countries began to desperately develop armaments.

Even if we don't talk about the future, tungsten was widely used in the military during the previous World War. The countries involved in the war desperately searched for tungsten sand all over the country, the price of a unit of tungsten sand before the war was only 8 US dollars, which was converted into Yinyang, which is about 20 silver dollars, and the result skyrocketed to 100 US dollars per unit, a full increase of 12 times, and the price per ton was as high as 4,800 US dollars, more than 10,000 silver dollars!

But now that there is no war, the price of tungsten ore has been lowered to less than 500 US dollars by these vampires, and like the Third Reich, they often do not use cash and foreign exchange, but exchange weapons with the Chinese government, and they have made a special profit.

Therefore, Liu Tuanzuo, who understands all this, believes that China has suffered a loss, a loss.

Dute Niang is going to war, how can a good thing like tungsten sand still be sold to these yellow hairs like Chinese cabbage? It must be like selling Ganoderma lucidum, especially the mustache who has been carrying the defeat of all powerful countries and the re-emergence of the German nation since his youth, Liu Lang believes that no matter how expensive it is, that one has to bite the back molars to buy.

In particular, the Chinese business group is also going to start trading tungsten ore and foreign hair, and this method of turning cabbage into Ganoderma lucidum must be used.

When the tungsten ore of Huashang Group was still on the way to Shanghai, Huang Jiqing, who had already soared in the domestic geological community because of the discovery of oil, and was faintly known as the first rising star in China's geological circle, published an article in Shanghai's most famous declaration.

The title of the article is called "The Theory of War Resources", and the content of the article is to talk about the importance of some special metal minerals such as tungsten, antimony, tin, and iron to the war, and mainly expounds the view that the ambitious militarists have waged wars in order to obtain more resources, and criticizes these ambitious militarists for disregarding the precious lives of ordinary people for their own selfish interests.

At a glance, a discerning person knows that this rookie geology with strong patriotic feelings is aimed at the Japanese who are constantly invading and encroaching on China, and apart from them, there is no country that now occupies the three eastern provinces of China, and the world is digging coal and iron everywhere with a small shovel.

While applauding geologists, many people took a look at the importance of tungsten sand, a special metal mineral, to national defense, which Master Huang expounded. It can make hard alloy cutting tools and make cannon barrels and shells, and we still have a lot of them in China, which is a good thing left by our ancestors, and we must not let the damn Japanese rob it.

That's right, the Chinese, a nation that has been inherited for thousands of years with Confucian culture and loyalty and filial piety as the core idea, will regard everything above and below the ground as the precious wealth left by their ancestors, and damage any of them is sorry for the ancestors who lived on this land. Although there are many such unscrupulous descendants, it must not be denied that most Chinese people think so.

Of course, this is just a by-product, and people are more concerned about Master Huang's theory of war resources, which has once again raised the understanding of national resources.

In the eyes of most people, this is just a call for the new star of geology to pay attention to resources and continue to increase investment in mineral resources for geologists to continue to serve the country in finding more mineral resources.

Even the arrogant consuls of Western countries think so, even if the poor Chinese realize the preciousness of mineral resources? They are industrially backward, and a large number of industrial equipment and finished products need to be imported, and these are exactly what they have, and the dominance and pricing power are not on their side?

However, immediately afterwards, the Shanghai declaration successively published articles by professors of the Department of Geology of Huaqing University, once again explaining the important role of tungsten as a heavy metal in national defense, and calling on the government to increase the protection of tungsten ore resources and unify the purchase and export, and intensify the crackdown on smuggling.

This is not a fabrication by professors out of thin air, tungsten sand as a shortage of materials in the international market, the business of tungsten sand commercial banks will pay heavy taxes to the government, in order to avoid heavy taxes, China's tungsten smuggling has been repeatedly banned, especially in Fujian and Guangdong provinces as the hardest hit areas. The reason is simple, tungsten sand can be easily transported out of the two provinces with a vast coastline.

How arrogant is tungsten smuggling under the rule of the government?

Let's talk about the common people first.

Tungsten sand is hidden in the bamboo and tied into a bamboo row down the river until Guangzhou is just a trail, it is unbelievable that someone will mix with tungsten sand food to chickens, ducks or pigs and sheep to eat, and then transported to Guangdong Province to slaughter, anyway, all kinds of skills are stored endlessly, people can not prevent it.

Speaking of the major warlords, it is even more armed escort, and Chiguoguo smuggles tungsten sand in the name of transporting military funds. Otherwise, how can the big man Chen who is entrenched in Guangdong be strong and strong, and even be equipped with airplanes? Tungsten sand plays a lot of roles in it.

Even the red army has taken advantage of tungsten sand to some extent, Gannan is a large producer of tungsten sand, and that Chen boss is the biggest customer.

With the voices of several geological authorities in Beiping, several heavyweights in the geological field of the State Resources Commission have also published articles on the role of minerals for the country and the nation.

For a time, the declaration that has always liked to comment on current affairs was almost occupied by the word "minerals" every day.

Among them, the word tungsten sand is frequently mentioned most frequently.
