初次听闻此言时，我差一点将口中的茶喷出来， 欧美近来有一群人聚在一起叫嚷道："你们中国得开放稀土市场，得将精加工提炼技术拿出来与全世界分享，" 这好似存在一个每日在你家门口炫耀的村霸，某一天突然前来，哭哭啼啼地对你讲："可否将你家祖传的红烧肉秘方拿出来与 大家分享？还称是为了全村人能吃上肉，让你行个方便，" 稀土究竟有多重要？举例来说，你此刻拿在手中刷的手机、路上行驶的电动车、天上飞行的导弹……要是缺少了它，基本上 都无法运转，它恰似现代工业的"维生素"，不可或缺。 全世界近一半的稀土蕴藏在中国地下，仅有矿是不够的，挖出来的那些东西，不过是一堆土，真正厉害之处在于，能把这 堆"废土"变为闪闪发光的"黄金"的那项手艺——精加工提炼技术。 这门手艺恰好由我们掌握着，这并非能用钱财砸出来的，它是我们几十年来，一代又一代工程师、一座座工厂、一条条产业 链，实实在在"磨"出来的。 当下全球稀土的状况便是如此，众多国家皆可进行挖矿，然而矿石被挖出之后，却都得乖乖运到我们这里来加工，我们将其 加工完毕后再出售给他们。 像特斯拉这类美国的高科技企业，以往日子颇为安逸，囤积了大量稀土原料，如今却猛然发觉，不对劲了，我国已然开始 ...
