The dwarf believed it and said, "There is really gold? Why don't I know where?"

Li Sanbiao said: "Follow me to Baiyun Ebo. There are things more expensive than gold there! They are called rare earths! But I have a condition. No one in your hometown is allowed to dig out any more hair-dried vegetables from now on!"

The short man hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Who will dig out the food if you can dig out gold!"

Li Sanbiao destroyed the tools of these people one by one, and let their Toyota pickup follow him and come all the way to Baiyun Ebo.

Baiyun Ebo is a mining town on the grassland, under the jurisdiction of Baotou, but the mining area is hundreds of miles away from the city.

The rare earths here have been explored in 1955 and are exploited in a small amount.

Rare earths are actually not single elements, but the general term for 17 metal elements, including lanthanides, scandium and yttrium in the periodic table. Rare earth ores are actually worth many kinds of ores.

The town is not big yet, and there is no trace of liveliness.

A few red brick factories, towering water towers and high-voltage wire towers, several Jiefang trucks that are equipped with rare earth ore to the mines and smelters, as well as the supporting bungalow family area, are all in this town.

The entire mining area is affiliated with the Baotou Steel Plant because the rare earth mines here are originally the associated minerals found when mining iron ore.

The rare earth mines here can be mined open-pit, and the mining cost is extremely low, so they have become the starting point of Longguo rare earth mining.

This town is still silent, not as prosperous as it was in the late 1980s and 1990s when the rare earths were hot.

At that time, when we were pursuing profit maximization and under the guidance of "water flows quickly", countless foreign bosses flocked to the money and opened hundreds of rare earth mines of different sizes.

Because there is no investment at all, there are countless small workshops, and most of them are privately mined.

Countless rare earth mounds were dried in the open air, and the output also increased from 20 tons in the early 1980s to tens of thousands of tons.

Finally, the price of rare earths fell to one-quarter of the original, and these small mines were forced to produce more in order to survive.

During this period, not only did Piaoliang and Dongyang eat countless reserves at low prices, but even Turkish felt that he had gained a bargain and announced that his rare earth reserves had been enough for 50 years!

Later, some people said that the rare earth world of Long Kingdom needed it. In fact, foreign warehouses had long been filled with rare earths exported from the 1980s and 1990s!

As a time traveler, Li Sanbiao felt depressed when he thought about it. Such important strategic materials were sold too cheaply! At that time, the Dragon Kingdom did not use much rare earth at all, and cheap rare earths were not used.

Just as he was thinking, Li Sanbiao's car was stopped by a militiaman with a bract mark on his arm for inspection.

"How old are you? Who sent you here? Do you know the danger here?"

Li Sanbiao said: "I know."

The militiaman looked at Li Sanbiao suspiciously: "You know what a fool! Have you got married and had children? Get out of here if you don't get married and have children!"

Several people were surprised, why did this person speak like this?

Li Sanbiao took out the letter of introduction and said, "There is no way, it's all for work. I came from 772. I want to see your chief engineer."

The workers and militia looked at it and reminded him, "Then you can leave quickly after finishing your business! Don't stay here for too long! He is in the factory there!"

Thorium and uranium associated with rare earths have some radioactivity, but there is nothing to do with this. Some people will always want to mining.

But he didn't tell the dwarf. To be honest, even if he knew, he wouldn't worry about so many people who wanted to make a fortune.

Li Sanbiao parked his car at the entrance of the factory, which was a very small rare earth separation factory.
