High quality metal (MVK) Rust: guide
Some resources in Rust are more in demand, some are less popular among the game community. With so many different items and resources, I wouldn't be surprised if some resources went unnoticed by some players.
I think no one will argue that metal is valuable in the game. It doesn't matter whether it's metal fragments or high quality metal. It is these two resources that provide the most durable buildings in the game. Well, we can also add that they participate in many crafts.
Since our website already has an article devoted to metal fragments, I propose to disassemble more expensive metal - high-quality metal.
MVK
High quality metal in Rust
High quality metal, or MVK as it is also called, is one of the most sought-after and rare resources in the game. It is quite difficult to find when compared with the same fragments of metal or sulfur.
High-quality metal gives the strongest building in the game - armored, which has 2000 strength units. To destroy one such building you will have to spend 8 explosives with a timer or 16 missiles. For comparison, a metal building is TWO times weaker. For more details on building blocks, I recommend reading the article “Building Blocks in Rust”
In addition to construction, MVK is actively used in crafts. Below is a table with items in the crafting of which expensive metal is directly involved.

Extraction of MVK
As with metal fragments, MVC is mined both as processed metal and as ore.
Use of quarries
Perhaps the easiest way to mine MVK ore is to use quarries .
If you play on the official server or just on the classic one, then you can find the only quarry on the in-game map (by default, the map opens by pressing the G key).
The quarry we need is marked on the map with the inscription HQM Quarry (HQM - High quality metal - high quality metal). Make your way to the quarry, and then load it with low-quality fuel and start it. I recommend reading the article “ Careers in Rust ”.
You can also mine MVK using the Excavator , which allows you to mine approximately 800 units of high-quality ore in 40 minutes. And in the future it will be melted down in the MVK.

Farming stones
High-quality metal ore is mined from the same stones as regular metal ore. The player receives the MVK only after completely destroying the metal rock.
Ore smelting
The first method is ore smelting. This procedure is already familiar to all players, so we won’t focus on it. It is clear that for this you will need a small stove or a large stove , as well as wood!
Looting containers
Processed MVC can be found in the following containers:
| Container | Number of MVK | Chance |
| Locked box | 4-100 | 45% |
| Elite box | 15-68 | 27% |
| Sunken Chest | 15-24 | 25% |
| Airdrop | 50-100 | 25% |
| Army box | 15-24 | 17% |
| Mine box | 1 | 8% |
| Trolley | 1 | 8% |
| Oil Rig Scientist | 15-24 | 3% |
| Heavy Scientist | 15-24 | 2% |
Dismantling the wreckage of a tank and helicopter
First, check out how to destroy a tank and a helicopter .
Below is a table of MVK production from a tank and a helicopter using different tools.
| Tool | Tank | Helicopter |
| Homemade ice ax | 77 | 70 |
| Jackhammer | 77 | 70 |
| Pick | 77 | 70 |
| Stone pickaxe | 60 | 55 |
| Homemade hammer | 58 | 53 |
| Bone Club | 39 | 36 |
| Stone | 39 | 35 |
Recycling
When processing items in the crafting of which MVK participated, you will receive 50% of the full cost. Simply put, if you reworked a workbench on which you spent 100 MVK, you will get 50.

Kola Superdeep: the terrible secret of the deepest hole on Earth
The deepest well in the world is located on the Kola Peninsula near the city of Zapolyarny (Murmansk region); its depth will be 12 kilometers 262 meters, which is an absolute world record.
In 1997, the Kola Superdeep was included in the Guinness Book of Records, but by that time it was no longer working: drilling was stopped in 1992, the well was mothballed, and what was left of the drilling rig was left to the mercy of fate and actually plundered.
However, over the years of drilling, Soviet scientists managed to make many discoveries that related to the composition of the earth's crust and shed light on some scientific questions.
Preparatory work
The main goal of drilling the well was to reach the Earth's mantle, which supposedly should consist of molten rocks. To do this, they decided to drill in the place of the Pecheneg trough of the Baltic Shield in the north-west of the East European Platform - one of the most ancient formations on the planet. According to scientists, the age of the rocks that come to the surface here is at least three billion years.
The main task of drilling was to identify the features of the shield and determine the boundaries between the layers of the earth's crust.
A unique team of Soviet scientists was created to create the well; Up to 3,000 specialists and 16 research laboratories simultaneously worked at the well.
The head of the Kola Superdeep was the Soviet scientist David Mironovich Guberman, the head of the drilling rig was Alexey Batishchev, the chief engineer was Ivan Vasilchenko, the team of geologists included famous geologists Yuri Kuznetsov, Yuri Smirnov and Vladimir Lanev.
Drilling
Throughout 1970, drilling was carried out with a conventional drilling rig, then work had to be stopped, and a new Uralmash-15000 installation, designed for deep drilling, was built in place of the well. This drilling rig was a tower the size of a twenty-story building, sheathed on top with sheets of plywood - otherwise it was impossible to work in the winter .
Soviet scientists used turbine drilling - a method in which only the drill bit rotates inside the well under the pressure of the incoming fluid. Every day, drilling at great depths took only about four hours - the rest of the time was spent lifting pipes to the surface to extract the core. During this time, the drill managed to pass through seven to ten meters of rock.
It took the drillers four years to complete the first seven kilometers. They managed to reach the twelve-kilometer mark already in 1983, after which work was suspended as the Moscow International Geological Congress was approaching, at which the discoveries made at the well were demonstrated.
Drilling continued in 1984, but it turned out that the deep well could not be left unattended for long - changes were occurring in its structure. The accident, which threw Soviet geologists back to the seven-kilometer mark, occurred during the first excavation on September 27, 1984: a 200-ton column broke. Everything below seven kilometers was lost.
For almost a year, geologists tried to get the pipes, but then they recognized it as impossible and began to drill a bypass shaft. The main difficulty was that from a depth of nine kilometers, core extraction became difficult - the rock crumbled and only the strongest “plaques” remained inside the pipes.
The maximum depth was reached six years later - in 1990. The pressure at this depth was 1,000 atmospheres. After this, we had to admit that the capabilities of the technology were limited and after several accidents the work was stopped.
Discoveries of Soviet scientists
Firstly, it was discovered that the temperature deep in the earth's crust is completely different from what scientists expected, who believed that it would be low to a depth of 15 kilometers. It turned out that at a depth of five kilometers it is 75 degrees Celsius, at seven it reaches 120 degrees, and at a depth of 12 kilometers it reaches 220 degrees. Secondly, Soviet science believed that older basalts should come after younger granites.
This theory has been disproven. The grant layer turned out to be several times thicker than expected, and underneath it lay less durable fractured rocks - Archean gneisses (Archean is a geological period that lasted from 4,000,0000 years ago to 2,500,000 years ago). At a depth of nine to 12 kilometers found deep aquifers that we never expected to find.
At a depth of 1.5–2 kilometers, an ore horizon was discovered - rocks rich in rare earth metals. An olivine belt of the planet was also found, the existence of which was hypothesized by the famous geologist Vladimir Afanasyevich Obruchev at the beginning of the 20th century. It turned out that they found him deeper than nine kilometers. that it contains a concentration of gold suitable for mining.
It was discovered that rock samples at a depth of three kilometers fully correspond to lunar soil, which confirms the theory that the Moon could have broken away from the Earth at one time under the influence of an asteroid impact.
A little devilry
Superstitious people associate many legends with the Kola Superdeep. Some say that it was closed because Soviet scientists allegedly drilled into hell, others say that demons come out of it at night, and others claim that the voices of people suffering in the underworld can be heard from it. In fact, all these are echoes of the publication of one Finnish newspaper, who was just joking by publishing an article about the well on April 1st.
However, as often happens, the joke, perhaps mistaking it for the truth, or perhaps deciding to scare its listeners with “scary Russians,” was picked up by one of the American television companies, after which rumors of the devilry going on at the well spread throughout the world.
Of course, working at the Kola Superdeep was difficult; the high temperature at depth and enormous pressure created many emergency situations.
However, scientists assure that there was no devilry. It was difficult, often routine work.

The strongest metals in the world
Titanium is a highly durable hard metal that immediately attracted attention. The properties of titanium are: high specific strength; resistance to high temperatures; low density; corrosion resistance; mechanical and chemical resistance. Titanium is used in the military industry, aviation medicine, shipbuilding, and other areas of production.
9 Uranus
The most famous element, considered one of the strongest metals in the world, and under normal conditions is a weak radioactive metal. In nature, it is found both in a free state and in acidic sedimentary rocks. It is quite heavy, widely distributed everywhere and has paramagnetic properties, flexibility, malleability, and relative ductility. Uranium is used in many areas of production.
8 Tungsten
Known as the most refractory metal in existence, it is one of the strongest metals in the world. It is a solid transitional element of a shiny silver-gray color. It has high strength, excellent refractoriness, and resistance to chemical influences. Due to its properties, it can be forged and drawn into a thin thread. Known as tungsten filament.
7 Rhenium
Among the representatives of this group, it is considered a high-density transition metal with a silvery-white color. It occurs in nature in its pure form, but is found in molybdenum and copper raw materials. It is characterized by high hardness and density, and has excellent refractoriness. It has increased strength, which is not lost due to repeated temperature changes. Rhenium is an expensive metal and has a high cost. Used in modern technology and electronics.
6 Osmium
A shiny silver-white metal with a slightly bluish tint, it belongs to the platinum group and is considered one of the strongest metals in the world. Similar to iridium, it has a high atomic density, high strength and hardness.
Since osmium is a platinum metal, it has properties similar to iridium: refractoriness, hardness, brittleness, resistance to mechanical stress, as well as to the influence of aggressive environments.
It has found wide application in surgery, electron microscopy, the chemical industry, rocketry, and electronic equipment.
5 Beryllium
It belongs to the group of metals and is a light gray element with relative hardness and high toxicity. Due to its unique properties, beryllium is used in a wide variety of production areas: nuclear energy; aerospace engineering; metallurgy; laser technology; nuclear energy. Due to its high hardness, beryllium is used in the production of alloying alloys and refractory materials.
4 Chrome
The next most durable metal in the world is chromium - a hard, highly durable metal of a bluish-white color, resistant to alkalis and acids. It occurs in nature in its pure form and is widely used in various branches of science, technology and production.
Chromium is used to create various alloys that are used in the manufacture of medical and chemical processing equipment. When combined with iron, it forms an alloy called ferrochrome, which is used in the manufacture of metal-cutting tools.
3 Tantalum
Tantalum is one of the strongest metals in the world. It is a silvery metal with high hardness and atomic density. Due to the formation of an oxide film on its surface, it has a leaden tint.
The distinctive properties of tantalum are high strength, refractoriness, resistance to corrosion, and resistance to aggressive environments. The metal is a fairly ductile metal and can be easily machined.
Today tantalum is successfully used: in the chemical industry; during the construction of nuclear reactors; in metallurgical production; when creating heat-resistant alloys.
2 Ruthenium
Ruthenium is a silvery metal belonging to the platinum group. Its peculiarity is the presence of living organisms in the muscle tissue. Valuable properties of ruthenium are high strength, hardness, refractoriness, chemical resistance, and the ability to form complex compounds. Ruthenium is considered a catalyst for many chemical reactions and acts as a material for the manufacture of electrodes, contacts, and sharp tips.
1 Iridium
The most durable metal is iridium - silver-white, hard and refractory, which belongs to the platinum group. In nature, the high-strength element is extremely rare and is often combined with osmium. Due to its natural hardness, it is difficult to machine and is highly resistant to chemicals.
Iridium reacts with great difficulty to exposure to halogens and sodium peroxide. This metal plays an important role in everyday life. It is added to titanium, chromium and tungsten to improve resistance to acidic environments, used in the manufacture of stationery, and used in jewelry to create jewelry.
The cost of iridium remains high due to its limited presence in nature.

Which metal is the strongest - Metalist's Handbook
Metals include substances that have specific properties characteristic of them. In this case, high ductility and malleability, as well as electrical conductivity and a number of other parameters are taken into account. Which of them is the strongest metal in the world can be found out from the data below.
About metals in nature
The word “metal” came into Russian from German. Since the 16th century it has been found in books, although quite rarely. Later, in the era of Peter I, it began to be used more often, and then the word had the general meaning of “ore, mineral, metal.” And only during the period of M.V.’s activity. Lomonosov these concepts were differentiated.
In nature, metals are found quite rarely in their pure form. Basically, they are part of various ores, and also form various compounds, such as sulfides, oxides, carbonates and others.
In order to obtain pure metals, and this is very important for their future use, they need to be isolated and then purified. If necessary, metals are alloyed - special impurities are added in order to change their properties.
Currently, there is a division into ferrous metal ores, which include iron, and non-ferrous ores. Precious or noble metals include gold, platinum and silver.
There are metals even in the human body. Calcium, sodium, magnesium, copper, iron - this is a list of these substances that are found in the greatest quantities.
How are metals produced?
Metal-containing ores are considered the source of these most necessary substances for all modern humanity. To find out their exact location, certain search methods are used, which are based on exploration and study of deposits. Metals are obtained as follows:
- Ore deposits are developed by open-pit or quarry, as well as underground or mine. Combined methods are possible.
- Ore beneficiation is the separation of useful components from raw materials, so-called ore concentrates.
- Extraction of metals from enriched ores by chemical or electrolytic reduction using high temperatures or aqueous chemistry.
- Most often, metals are smelted, the ore and a reducing agent are heated to very high temperatures. For iron, carbon is usually used.
Depending on their further use, metals are divided into groups:
- Construction materials. Both the metals themselves and their alloys with significantly improved properties are used. In this case, strength, impermeability to liquids and gases, and homogeneity are valued.
- Materials for tools, most often referring to the working part. Tool steels and hard alloys are suitable for this purpose.
- Electrical materials. Such metals are used as good conductors of electricity. The most common of them are copper and aluminum. They are also used as materials with high resistance - nichrome and others.
The strongest of metals
The strength of metals is their ability to resist destruction under the influence of internal stresses, which can arise when external forces influence these materials. This is also the property of a structure to maintain its characteristics for a certain time.
Many alloys are quite strong and resistant not only to physical but also chemical influences; they are not pure metals. There are metals that can be called the most durable.
Titanium, which melts at a temperature above 1,941 K (1660±20 °C), uranium, which is a radioactive metal, refractory tungsten, which boils at a temperature of at least 5,828 K (5555 °C).
As well as others that have unique properties and are necessary in the process of manufacturing parts, tools and objects using the most modern technologies.
The five most durable of them include metals whose properties are already known; they are widely used in various sectors of the national economy and are used in scientific experiments and developments.
5. Rhenium
Found in molybdenum ores and copper raw materials. Has high hardness and density. Very refractory. Its strength cannot be reduced even under the influence of critical temperature changes. Widely used in many electronic devices and technical means.
4. Beryllium
A rare-earth metal with a silver-gray tint and shiny, crystalline formations when broken.
Interestingly, beryllium crystals taste somewhat sweet, which is why it was originally called “glucinium,” which means “sweet.”
Thanks to this metal, a new technology has emerged, which is used in the synthesis of artificial stones - emeralds, aquamarines, for the needs of the jewelry industry. Beryllium was discovered while studying the properties of beryl, a semi-precious stone. In 1828
German scientist F. Wöller obtained metallic beryllium. It does not interact with x-rays, therefore, it is actively used to create special devices.
In addition, beryllium alloys are used in the manufacture of neutron reflectors and moderators for installation in a nuclear reactor. Its fire-resistant and anti-corrosion properties, high thermal conductivity make it an indispensable element for creating alloys used in aircraft construction and the aerospace industry.
3. Chrome
This metal was discovered in the Middle Urals. M.V. wrote about him. Lomonosov in his work “The First Foundations of Metallurgy” in 1763. It is very widespread, its most famous and extensive deposits are located in South Africa, Kazakhstan and Russia (Urals). of this metal in ores fluctuates greatly.
Its color is light blue, with a tint. In its pure form it is very hard and can be processed quite well. It serves as an important component for the creation of alloy steels, especially stainless steels, used in the electroplating and aerospace industries.
Its alloy with iron, ferrochrome, is necessary for the production of metal-cutting tools.
2. Tantalum
This metal is considered valuable, since its properties are only slightly lower than those of noble metals. It has strong resistance to various acids and is not susceptible to corrosion.
Tantalum is used in various designs and compounds, for the manufacture of products of complex shapes and as a basis for the production of acetic and phosphoric acids. The metal is used in medicine because it can be combined with human tissue.
The rocket industry needs the heat-resistant alloy of tantalum and tungsten because it can withstand temperatures of 2,500 °C. Tantalum capacitors are installed on radar devices and used in electronic systems as transmitters.
1. Iridium
Iridium is considered one of the strongest metals in the world. The metal is silver in color and very hard. It is classified as a platinum group metal. It is difficult to process and, moreover, refractory. Iridium practically does not interact with caustic substances.
It is used in many industries. Including in jewelry, medical and chemical industries. Significantly improves the resistance of tungsten, chromium and titanium compounds to acidic environments.
Pure iridium is not a toxic material, but its individual compounds can be poisonous.
Despite the fact that many metals have decent characteristics, it is quite difficult to pinpoint exactly which is the strongest metal in the world.
To do this, all their parameters are studied in accordance with various analytical systems.
But at present, all scientists claim that iridium confidently occupies first place in terms of strength.
