Starting from the age of thirteen, Ying Hui had been inventing new mathematical formulas.
While growing up, he became interested in evolution and application of the available resources in new fields, especially in the area of Rare Earth elements. He had figured out a new cheap method to extract Rare Earth from other metals recently and both the governments in China and U.S. were vying for his work.
As essential and functional materials, Rare Earth elements had long been named "The Vitamins of Modern Industry".
In recent years, demand for these had been increasing, particularly in energy efficiency (green energy) and high-technology, making it a precious commodity to the World Superpowers.
