Chapter 1149 The Death Journey of a Nuclear Physicist

Vorobyov also noticed that among this strange team of workers, only Besonova kept talking to her, while the others remained silent or whispered from a slightly further distance.

In normal times Vorobyov would definitely be suspicious of the identities of the four people, but now his mind is not on it, and he has no time to care about the origins of the four people. His mind is full of how to solve this matter quickly, and then go to dw The office warned others that Pripyat might also be exposed to radiation by this time, but the town probably didn't know anything about it yet.

Vorobyov also became angry when he thought of this. Brukhanov simply told lies with his eyes open and turned a blind eye to the numbers on the radiometer. For the director to do what he did, it would really be worse than nothing.

The five people in the group were all preoccupied at the moment, so they rarely talked on the way.

The director of the Department of Civil Defense led four people to the Administrative Building No. 1 and said, "Bryukhanov is in the underground bunker of the Administrative Building. You can go straight down the stairs and you will find him soon."

What Vorobyov said meant that he planned to break up with the four of them here. It seemed that he didn't want to see Bryukhanov's face again.

At this moment, a figure staggered out of the administrative building.

The man's skin was red and he was coughing violently. It looked like he had just suffered a high dose of radiation. But compared to his physical condition, what was worse was his mental condition. He looked very dazed. When I walked to the steps, my legs softened and I sat directly on it. At the same time, I murmured, "It's over, it's all over."

"Anatoly!" Vorobyov recognized the person and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Anatoly raised his head after hearing this. His eyes seemed a little hesitant. It took him a moment to recognize the person in front of him, and he gave the latter a smile that was uglier than crying, "Vorobyov, you Haven’t you left yet?”

"Yes, I just measured the radiation values ​​in various places again, recorded them and prepared to go to the DW office to warn the people in the town. You look uncomfortable. Did something happen?"

Anatoly sighed, "Well, you reported to Brukhanov about the explosion of the radiation meter and warned him that a serious nuclear leak had occurred, but Brukhanov didn't believe it, so he found it later. Me, he told me that I was one of the most experienced physicists at the nuclear power plant, and that I was the deputy chief engineer for the operation of the first phase of the construction project. I could be considered a neutral outsider in this accident, so he asked me to climb up. Go up to the roof of Area V and see what’s going on in the central hall.”

"Did you agree to him?" Vorobyov was shocked when he heard this. "The radiation value near the reactor is too high. I can't get close at all. The measuring instrument keeps ringing just a little bit closer."

"I couldn't refuse. He is the director of the factory after all, and the most important thing is that I also want to know what happened and whether there is any problem with our current response plan," Anatoly said, "I walked through the unit, When I arrived at the central hall, I knew that the reactor was in danger, but in order to further confirm this, I followed Blyukhanov's request and climbed to the roof of Area V. I saw that the lid of the reactor had been blown open by the explosion, and it was 80% safe. Flying over the roof, smashing down the concrete wall.

"Only half of it is still covering the reactor. The reactor is still burning underneath, and those nuclear fission reactions are still happening. Vorobyov, I can feel it in my bones." Anatoly smiled sadly, "It's terrible. Yes, I saw graphite exploded everywhere on the roof. The graphite came from the core of the reactor, not the water tank, but the core exploded."

"Did you tell Blyukhanov what you saw?"

"Of course, I truthfully reported to him everything I saw, but he was very angry. He just... refused to believe that the reactor core had been destroyed. He and Fuming were still letting people pour water into the reactor. But it seems to me that all the low-level water exchange lines there have been blown out. In order to restore the water supply, Akimov and Toptunov worked for several hours down there. It was commendable for their courage, but unfortunately all the water was The flow reached underground compartments, flooding cable rooms and high-voltage switchgear, and potentially knocking out power to the other three reactors."

"Bryukhanov and Fomin are no longer reliable. We should notify others immediately." Vorobyov said seriously.

"Baldasarov has shut down the No. 3 reactor. Although Fomin did not allow him to do so, he shut it down when he noticed that the water level in the degassing tank was getting lower and lower. Fomin estimated that it was He is furious about this, but one day he will thank Baldassaro. If Baldassaro had not shut down the No. 3 reactor, the core of the No. 3 reactor would have melted by now."

Anatoly said while coughing violently again, "It's really uncomfortable. I feel like my lungs are on fire. Vorobyov, I don't think I will survive."

"Hold on, man, I'll take you to the medical center now." Vorobyov could no longer care about Zhang Heng and the four of them at this moment. He stepped forward and picked up Anatoly, letting him The latter leaned on his shoulder and walked quickly towards the parking lot.

The players looked at each other. Although they had more or less realized that Bryukhanov and Fomin were suspected of neglecting their duties, this level was beyond everyone's expectations, especially Bryukhanov. The husband sent a top nuclear physicist to risk his life to investigate the situation in the reactor. However, once the results were different from what he imagined, he refused to believe the facts before him.

On the other hand, the words of Vorobyov and Anatoly shocked Besonova even more. Although Zhang Heng told her that the reactor exploded when they first met, she had no knowledge of nuclear weapons at that time. With no knowledge of physics, I had no idea how serious the situation was.

And as she came into contact with more and more nuclear power plant workers, from Dyatlov to Anatoly, her understanding of the reactor became more and more profound. Although it was far less than those of nuclear physicists, she It has surpassed most ordinary people living in Pripyat, and it is precisely because of this that she can understand what she is facing now after hearing Anatoly's words.

This is an unmitigated disaster!

And now she is following the player and his party, trying to piece together the causes of this disaster like a puzzle piece.
