Chapter 1131 Chernobyl

The mouse's words caused the doctor's expression to change suddenly.

In fact, not only mice, but now almost all players can taste the taste of metal in their mouths. In addition, they can also smell a strong smell of ozone. Many people have tight temples, stinging eyelids, and chest pain. There is also a burning sensation.

However, this dungeon is basically full of veteran players. This is not the first time for them to face danger. No one will make a fuss over such a trivial matter. Besides, there has just been an explosion here and many places are still burning. Of course, everyone I don’t expect the air quality to be very good, but some people do think of chemical materials and stuff.

Until the doctor spit out one word, "Nuclear radiation!!!"

"Huh?" Master Kui frowned.

"We have just suffered high-intensity nuclear radiation. No, to be more precise, we are still under radiation!" The doctor looked very nervous, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"How do you know that for sure?"

"Radioactive iodine. The radioactive iodine produced in nuclear radiation has a metallic taste. In the recent Fukushima nuclear accident, many interviewees mentioned that they tasted metal when they were exposed to radiation."

"Wait a minute, we are in SL in the 20th century. Could the background of this game be..."

Although the mouse didn't say the name in the end, it didn't matter anymore, because all the players present knew what he was going to say.

Chernobyl!

The shadow and nightmare of hundreds of thousands of people, the most serious and terrifying nuclear accident in human history, the first international nuclear incident defined as a level 7 accident, and the other level 7 nuclear accident was the Fukushima nuclear leak in 2011 . At its most dangerous time, the Chernobyl nuclear accident even pushed the entire European continent into the abyss.

"We are in Chernobyl!!!" The maintenance man's expression also darkened. "This smell of ozone is the smell produced by high-energy nuclear radiation ionizing the air. It is the same as during thunderstorms. We are here Here, April 25, 1986, or the 26th, I can’t remember clearly, but we are here anyway! The No. 4 reactor at Chernobyl was the one that exploded just now.”

While he was speaking, two more explosions came from the other side of the metal door, but this time the explosion was not as violent as the previous one, and the corridor only shook slightly.

The mouse was completely dumbfounded, "Have we just been exposed to nuclear radiation? Or are we at the center of the explosion, are we about to die?"

"I heard that the amount of radiation after the explosion of Chernobyl Reactor No. 4 was 30,000 roentgens per hour." The maintenance man's face turned extremely pale. "No living thing can withstand such a high amount of radiation."

"The situation is not that bad. 30,000 roentgens should be the total amount of radiation. The specific amount of radiation will vary greatly depending on the area. Although we were very close to the reactor, we were in a building when the explosion occurred. ." The doctor gradually calmed down and continued to explain. "Although concrete can't completely isolate us from radiation, it can indeed help me withstand a considerable amount of radiation. We will definitely be dead if we die, but we should still have some time."

"how long?"

"I can't tell you the specific time. It depends on each person's physical condition." The doctor said, "A few days, a few weeks, a few months, maybe a few years if you are lucky... Of course, some people will live a few hours later. It’s dead. We don’t have the instruments in our hands to detect the current amount of radiation, but what is certain is that the sooner we leave here, the better.”

"No wonder this copy is called The Invisible Killer, and there is no time limit for the task." Coconut's face looked ugly.

Now everyone feels as if there is a time bomb embedded in their hearts. The numbers on the dial are ticking, representing their remaining lives. No one knows when the hands will return to zero.

Just a few minutes ago, most people thought this would be a relaxing and enjoyable experience-gaining trip. With Simon leading the team, it didn't matter who the opponent was. However, no one expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse in an instant.

What they will face is an invisible and deadly enemy. In this situation, no matter how powerful Simon is, there is nothing he can do against such an enemy. As a result, the player team no longer had the relaxed and happy atmosphere it had before, but even though morale was low, the players still accepted the reality in the shortest time.

Zhang Heng asked the doctor, "Is there any way to extend our survival time?"

"Let me explain our current situation in as simple a language as possible. The nuclear radiation produced in nuclear fission reactions, or more accurately, ionizing radiation, includes various rays, such as alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, of high-energy electromagnetic waves.”

The doctor sped up his speech, "Whether it is high-speed particle flow or high-energy electromagnetic waves, the most fundamental cause of harm to the human body is the transfer of energy. Matter is made of atoms, and of course our bodies are also Without exception, the energy carried by high-energy electromagnetism will be absorbed by atoms after entering the body, and then released in the form of kinetic energy, thus destroying the structure of molecules. The high-speed particle flow is even more powerful because it has mass that can directly Molecular bonds are broken.

"The stratum corneum and protein are okay. Even if they are destroyed, they can be gradually restored. But the most terrible thing is that the DNA is damaged, because the genetic information carried on it guides all cell activities in the human body. If the DNA is damaged, it will cause damage to our cells. Unable to work properly. Unfortunately, even with our technological level in the 21st century, there is nothing we can do about this kind of damage at the molecular level, so the hospital's treatment can at best help you delay some pain, or prolong it through equipment. Your life, but..."

"but what?"

"There is nothing we can do about external exposure. We can only try to avoid places with high radiation levels, but we can still find ways to reduce internal exposure. The metallic taste we taste now comes from iodine 131, which enters us through breathing and food. In the body, a large amount of iodine is eventually accumulated in the thyroid gland. In order to solve this problem, we can inject some iodine in advance." The doctor said, "It is equivalent to occupying the table when you go to a restaurant to eat, so next I suggest that we go to the hospital first , find some iodine tablets and take them, it should be of some use."
