Chapter 1159 Intruder
Konwitz now only feels physically and mentally exhausted.
The first batch of experts who arrived were almost all woken up by phone calls before dawn. Afterwards, they hurriedly got dressed and rushed to the airport to gather. On the way, they studied the reports submitted by Brukhanov and Fomin and discussed them. How to restore power to nuclear power plants as soon as possible.
However, when they rushed to the explosion site, they realized that the seriousness of the problem was far beyond imagination. The previous plans were all based on the safety of the reactor, but now they were no longer useful, so they had to collect information while while looking for new solutions.
Before Shcherbina arrived, the experts had been arguing for a long time about how to extinguish the fire in the reactor. After Shcherbina took a helicopter to inspect the reactor, they returned to DW's office and continued the previous debate.
Water is the most commonly used fire-extinguishing material. However, water cannot extinguish nuclear flames. Instead, it will accelerate the pollution of the surroundings after evaporation. In the end, scientists decided to use sand to extinguish fires. However, how to put sand into the reactor was also a troublesome problem. Until At about three o'clock in the morning, Shcherbina found the air force general of the Kiev District and borrowed pilots and helicopters that could perform the mission from the latter.
Due to the shortage of manpower, some people had to stay to help load the sand, including several deputy ministers. But Konvitz was lucky. He got a few hours of rest and dragged his tired body back. Arrived at the hotel.
When he unlocked the door with the key, he didn't even have the energy to brush his teeth or wash himself. He just wanted to lie down on the bed and cover his head and fall asleep.
However, the next moment something cold touched the skin of his throat, making him shiver uncontrollably and his whole body became more awake.
Then Konvitz heard the sound of the door closing behind him. After about half a second, the lights in his room turned on, and Konvitz saw a woman sitting on the sofa.
"Hello, deputy director."
"Who are you and why are you in our room?" Konwitz asked in a trembling voice.
"It doesn't matter who we are, what's important is that we have no ill intentions towards you." Besonova said, now wearing a gas mask on her face so that Konvitz could not see her face.
This is actually to protect Bessonova. After all, the players will leave here after the mission is completed. Naturally, it doesn't matter whether anyone will care about it. However, Bessonova herself is the person in this copy. If her identity is leaked, , with Konvitz’s energy, it is not difficult to deal with her.
And Bessonova obviously understood this, so she was very grateful when she heard Zhang Heng asked her to put on the mask, and with her previous experiences, she was becoming more and more comfortable doing this kind of thing now. .
At least from Konwitz's point of view now, he would never believe that the woman in his room was just a nurse.
"Then why did you sneak into my room?"
Konvitz didn't seem to believe Besonova's statement that she had no malicious intent, especially considering that Zhang Heng's knife was still held at his throat.
"We just want to ask you to do a small favor." Besonova said.
"Do you want money? I'm in a hurry this time and I only brought less than a hundred rubles. If it's not enough, you can take my watch away as well." Konvitz said as he untied himself Watch on wrist.
"No, you can keep the watch. We just want to ask you a few questions related to Chernobyl."
Konvitz's body trembled slightly when he heard the name, "Chernobyl? Who are you and why do you care about Chernobyl?"
"You just need to answer our questions truthfully. We have the same purpose as you, to find out about this accident." Besonova said.
After a pause, she continued, "You are the deputy director of the Institute of Hydropower Engineering in charge of nuclear power plant safety affairs. As far as I know, the Institute of Hydropower Engineering is responsible for the overall design of nuclear power plants."
"That's right." These things were not very secret, so Konwitz did not deny it.
"So you also designed the Chernobyl nuclear power plant?"
"Well, yes, but strictly speaking, this design plan was completed before I became the director of the nuclear power plant design department," Konwitz wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I was still doing hydropower at that time. design."
"As far as you know, are there any omissions in this design?" Besonova continued to ask.
"Omission? Oh, of course, but it is inevitable. I mean, the design is one thing, but when the nuclear power plant is actually operating, it is another thing. We are dealing with radioactive waste. The processing is a bit behind, and now it seems that the pipelines are buried a bit densely and are not separated..."
"Mr. Deputy Director, what I'm asking is not such a trivial question, but a design flaw that may cause the nuclear power plant to explode." Besonova interrupted Konvitz.
"A defect that can cause a reactor explosion?" Konvitz opened his mouth wide, and it was obvious that his surprise was not disguised. "Do you think the explosion of Cherno Reactor No. 4 was due to a design defect? "
After a while, the deputy director squeezed out six words from his mouth, "This is too ridiculous!"
"The construction of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant began in 1970 and was put into use in 1977. It has been nine years now. Before that, it had been safe and sound. How could it be a design problem? It must have been operated by employees on duty that night. It was improper and the safety manual was not followed. Not only I think so, but others on the expert team also think so. Unfortunately, I heard that they were severely exposed to radiation, so we couldn't ask them face to face."
Seeing that Bessonova seemed a little unconvinced, Konwitz added, "I know what you are thinking, but I am not saying this to shirk responsibility. RMBK reactors are available everywhere in SL. You can go anywhere." Take a look and they’ve been running really well.”
Besonova was noncommittal and then asked, "Who is the designer?"
"What?"
"That RMBK reactor you just mentioned, who was its designer?"
"It's Academician Dolezzali."
"Dolezalli? Where can we find him? Moscow?"
A strange expression appeared on Konvitz's face after hearing this.
"In 1947, Academician Dolezalli took the lead in designing the RMBK reactor, and later built SL's first nuclear power plant, but now... he is no longer here."
