Chapter 1982 Plepler’s Gift

Of course it’s a TV series~”

"Can you tell me?"

Plepler pretended to hesitate, and then he pulled out a stack of A4 paper from nowhere. It looked like it was hundreds of pages thick, and handed it to Yang Cheng, "It's all on top. I spent a whole week making this." plan."

Mother Long looked at the stack of papers as if she were seeing dragon eggs, and her expression was no less intense than in the bathroom just now. . .

Yang Cheng took it, skipped the previous clichés, and turned directly to the project content section. The first one was a project called "Chernobyl", which was about 1:23 in the morning on April 26, 1986. The "Chernobyl Nuclear Accident" that occurred in the former Soviet Union's Ukraine was the most serious nuclear accident in modern human history. After accounting for inflation, the damage caused by the nuclear accident reached nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars.

The seriousness, wide scope and duration of the accident are unprecedented in history. Not only did the place where the accident occurred permanently become a city unfit for human habitation, but people who were affected by radiation at that time are still suffering from the sequelae to this day. The resulting illnesses and deaths even affected the next generation, resulting in the birth of many deformed babies.

The series will revolve around this incident and unfold the narrative step by step with the two themes of "the cause of the accident" and "the price of lies".

Just using data as an example of this nuclear accident is enough to reflect its seriousness and make people feel its horror.

After the incident, when Victor Buyukanov, the director of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and others concealed the disaster to their superiors and lied that the situation was under control, only the protagonist of the story, Kurchatov Nuclear Energy Research Valery Legasov, the first deputy director of the institute, discovered the problem from the "casualty part" of the report.

He received severe burns on his hand after a firefighter picked up a piece of black mineral with a smooth surface outside the reactor building. He speculated that the black mineral should be graphite, and the entire nuclear power plant only has graphite in the reactor core, which means that the core In fact, it has been blown up.

As for the reported radiation dose of 3.6 roentgens, it is only the upper limit of the measuring range of a low-precision dosimeter, but it is equivalent to the radiation dose of 400 chest X-rays, and the graphite picked up by the firefighters was as high as 4 million times.

Then, a piece of popular science about the "RBMK reactor" compared the fuel uranium-235 to a "bullet", which made Yang Cheng feel horrified: The Chernobyl nuclear power plant has a load of more than 3 million grams of uranium-235, which is equivalent to 3 times 10 27th power bullets are fired at close to the speed of light, penetrating everything in their path. These burning radioactive particles are spread across the continent with the wind, permeating the air, drinking water and food, and will remain for 100 to 50,000 years. The above does not vary.

This attracted the attention of the then top leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev.

Let him go to Chernobyl with the Chairman of the Investigative Committee Boris Shcherbina to check it out.

After confirming the explosion of the reactor core, the problems that the two men had to deal with and the resulting chain reactions also followed.

First, 5,000 tons of boron and sand were airdropped to cover the core and extinguish the fire.

The problem that arises is that the continuously rising temperature will melt through the lower concrete layer, and the lava formed by the sand melted by the uranium accelerates the rate of melting through.

The ruptured pipes in the nuclear power plant and the water spray from firefighters caused the water tank of the emergency cooling system to be full at this time. The lava will overheat the water and evaporate. The approximately 7,000 cubic meters of water in the water tank will cause a more serious thermal explosion with a radius of Everything within 30 kilometers will be completely destroyed, and all radioactive materials in the core will be ejected, reaching up to about 200 kilometers away.

This means that most areas will be permanently damaged, and areas of Ukraine and Belarus will be completely uninhabitable for at least 100 years.

The power is equivalent to more than 100 times that of the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima. To avoid this situation, the method is to send three workers to manually open the water tank with the sealed valve from inside the pipe, and pump out the water within 48-72 hours, but at this time the underground The level of water pollution in the area is so high that these three workers are likely to die.

The process of the three workers performing their tasks, and the atmosphere described in words alone, is comparable to a horror movie.

If it were photographed, visually it should be that the lighting equipment malfunctioned under the influence of radiation, and from the auditory sense it would be the increasingly louder "crack" sound of the dosimeter. In such a dark and invisible fatally dangerous environment, as long as If shot well, the strong sense of fear and suffocation will undoubtedly overflow the screen.

But pumping out the water and eliminating the threat of more explosions only buys more time to reinforce the concrete protective layer.

Hundreds of miners had to manually dig a tunnel within six weeks and install a liquid nitrogen heat exchanger on the concrete base beneath the core to prevent reactor fuel from melting into the ground and contaminating water sources.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng realized that this script was so complete that it didn't look like it had just been produced. According to the plan, "Chernobyl" only had 5 episodes, which was a miniseries, but the efficient narrative made it a miniseries. Ability to present the full picture of an event through multiple dimensions.

It is not difficult to see from the script that it includes several major time points of the incident: incident, rescue, crisis resolution, cleanup, trial; the groups involved: nuclear power plant personnel, bureaucrats, committees, rescue workers (firefighters, miners, soldiers, etc.), Civilians, liquidators, are all described.

Each episode has the functionality to undertake a narrative task. As it progresses, it gets closer to the "cause of the accident" (caused by human problems) and analyzes the "price of lies" step by step.

It can be said that this is a script with a "divine drama" factor. Yang Cheng feels that Plepler must have spent a lot of money to bring it out of HBO.

In the future, the CW TV station may cause trouble, but it doesn't matter. The company supports so many people in the legal department, are they just doing it for free?

If there is a problem, just file a lawsuit and argue with each other. This kind of thing will not last for 5, 6, 7, or 8 years, and there will be no results at all.

Of course, just looking at the script, this is undoubtedly a good drama. As long as the director's IQ is online and he doesn't force his own ideas into it, there is no possibility of failure.

However, in view of the historical relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States, many people may think that it contains exaggerated and fictional elements from the perspective of American imperialism, which has especially caused different debates among polar bear media.

But if you think about it carefully, this kind of argument is exactly the necessary conflict point for a ‘divine drama’.

Of course, what he didn't know was that in the original time and space, after HBO's "Chernobyl" was produced and broadcast, Polar Bear TV also announced that it would shoot a "Chernobyl" movie, telling the story of American CIA agents in Chernobyl. The story of sabotage at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

It can be said to be very targeted.

But Yang Cheng doesn't know, so it doesn't matter. On the premise of being loyal to historical facts, except for the fictional parts required for drama creation, judging from the script, the entire drama is very restored.
