"how come?"
"The Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the facility, is still playing dead, and no one in the political world has come forward to express their views. This is a dangerous signal."
"What did Chief Harry say?" Lingyin bit her finger. "Didn't he ask us to stay here?"
"Indeed, you have to stand by."
Raphael felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about this.
Even though the sensors in various parts of the body did not send any abnormal tactile signals, it felt like the discomfort was completely simulated by the mind.
"I just think that... when most people's attention was drawn to the nuclear power plant accident in Futaba County, there was a high possibility that something might happen to the guards of the Nobuoyama ruins."
"You mean, illegal invasion?" Fei Niao was surprised.
If you think about it this way, it is indeed possible that not everyone can ensure that his energy and attention are maintained in the direction he should pay attention to.
She smiled and said, "Nothing should happen, right? Haha?"
The lattice that stores the collapse fluid in the ruins is indeed very solid. The method to open it is very simple. One method is to use the internal facilities of the ruins to open it, and the other method is to use high-energy explosives to forcibly destroy it.
Japan is barely qualified in terms of explosives control, and it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain high-standard explosives and detonators for detonation.
A simple natural disaster is still acceptable, but if misfortunes never come singly and human beings also cause trouble, then we are completely doomed.
Lingyin pulled out her iPad and said, "The news reports say the reactor operators urgently inserted the fuel control rods, cutting off the chain reaction."
"Pointless."
Raphael commented coldly:
“It is true that a normal shutdown requires the insertion of control rods into the core.
But the problem is that after the chain reaction ends, a large amount of heat will still be released because the short-period nuclides in the fission fragments are still decaying rapidly.
In addition, the prerequisite for a critical reaction is to reach a critical mass, although the critical mass of a bare highly enriched uranium metal ball is only 48.8 kilograms.
But critical mass also varies with density, reflectors, and geometry.
The uranium salt solution also needs to consider the moderation effect, and there will be no sustained chain reaction after the control rods are inserted..."
"Raphael, have you forgotten the abundance of fuel pounds?"
Asuka inserted the magazine full of bullets into the receiver quickly and decisively, and then pressed the release button for the empty chamber.
With a click, the bolt was locked and the firing pin was where it should be.
At this time, you just need to pull the trigger and the primer of the bullet will be ignited by the firing pin.
She said in a cold tone:
"The total weight of the fuel rods in the reactor core is several hundred tons. Even if the enrichment level is only 2%, the mass of uranium reaches several tons or even dozens of tons.
Although there will be no fission reaction when so much uranium is gathered together, the heat generated by decay alone is amazing. "
"The total amount is 880 tons."
Raphael took a deep breath. What a normal person should do next is to transfer diesel generator sets from other places to the power plant to restore external power supply.
This must be done before the remaining passive cooling water is burned dry, otherwise the dry burning state will cause the core to melt.
In addition, crew operators should immediately find a way to clear the hydrogen accumulated above the pressure vessel to avoid a hydrogen explosion.
She couldn't help much in this regard and could only let TEPCO carry out the rescue on its own.
The next focus will be on the Nobuoyama ruins in Fukushima City. She hopes that the management there is strict enough and will not develop as she expected.
It’s okay for curious citizens to sneak in, but they don’t know how to avoid surveillance or eliminate their tracks, so they will be arrested quickly.
What is really scary is that fighters with ulterior motives infiltrate and trigger a real crisis.
hum-
The phone vibrated, Raphael picked it up and opened it, then shouted to the person on the other end of the line, "Did you know it would turn out like this?!"
"Raphael, calm down."
"How can one calm down?"
"Under current technological conditions, earthquake prediction is impossible. Earthquakes can only be warned after they occur, but cannot be predicted in advance. This is the consensus of the scientific community."
Director Harry B. Carnegie was also very annoyed. What was discussed at the Department of Defense's online meeting made him really want to smash something.
But he suppressed his anger.
"Listen carefully, the order for the Reagan strike group to leave the port comes directly from the president. He has granted the strike group the authority to fire freely, and for some special reasons, Yokosuka Port will be abandoned."
"why?"
"Because it's already dangerous there, don't try to go beyond Tokyo and continue north. This is an order. Do you understand?"
"learn."
Raphael still didn't understand Harry's intention of avoiding the topic, but she now understood that these vague words must be positively correlated with the activities of the CIA's Japan station.
"What about our emergency escape route?"
"The land route is to go all the way south to Kagoshima Airport on Kyushu Island. If the airport is closed, the second option is to go to the southern part of Kagoshima, which is the southernmost cape of the Satsuma Peninsula, and wait for the evacuation helicopter from Naha Air Force Base. This is the most extreme situation."
"Got it. It seems that you assume that all areas outside Kyushu Island are likely to become ruins."
"is it?"
Raphael hung up the phone, thinking that human beings were so heartless. Even though the disaster was imminent, they only cared about their immediate interests and ignored everything else.
Just kill them all, she thought.
Chapter 137 Man-made Disaster
The combined impact of the earthquake and the tidal wave paralyzed the infrastructure and industry in the northeastern coastal areas, and about 20,000 people died or went missing.
At 15:36 that afternoon, a hydrogen explosion occurred in the Unit 1 plant building;
Two days later, at 11:01 a.m., hydrogen explosions occurred in Units 3 and 4...
The explosion caused further damage to the power plant, directly making the situation facing the operators more severe and dangerous.
Their fickle rescue style did not allow them to save any of the generators.
Due to the failure of the pressure vessel, a large amount of radioactive gas rose into the atmosphere and began to spread around the world along the monsoon cycle.
The waves caused by the nuclear accident in Okuma Town, Futaba County, Fukushima have not yet dissipated, and equally explosive news has quietly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Students from Fukushima Municipal High School are missing.
Surveillance records showed that they managed to climb over the caltrop fence set up by the United Nations Heritage Conservancy at the entrance to the Nobuoyama ruins and eventually disappeared from the surveillance footage.
After receiving the alarm, the Fukushima City Police immediately organized a mountain search team to check all places outside the Nobuo Mountain ruins, trying to find the missing high school student in the outside world.
After two days and two nights of searching, the police search and rescue team held a press conference and confirmed that the students of the Municipal High School were missing. The search results confirmed the fact that they had entered the ruins without permission.
The reporters present were in an uproar.
Some reporters found the family members of the missing persons and questioned them why they did not take good care of their own children and how much trouble their illegal entry would bring to others.
Some reporters chose to criticize the Fukushima municipal government's lax attitude towards the management of the ruins, questioning the loopholes in their annual financial expenditure on maintaining the seal and management of the ruins.
Of course, the monument management agency was also harassed by reporters and protesters.
They were also extremely confused because the staff who checked inside found no other signs of human activity.
After three days and two nights of emergency consultations, the Site Management Office and the Fukushima Municipal Government reached a cooperation agreement and jointly dispatched staff to form a search and rescue team within the ruins.
By the time the search and rescue team passed the main entrance to the Nobuoyama ruins, seven days had passed since the high school student went missing.
We could not remain indifferent to all this yesterday, nor could we avoid the difficult decisions of these so-called trivial matters today, which ultimately led to the search and rescue operation within the ruins.
As the news continued to update, people gradually learned through live news and online channels the truth that the Nobuoyama ruins were abandoned and sealed more than 20 years ago.
The search and rescue team wearing AA-03D load-bearing protective clothing did not find any signs of activity by the high school students, but instead encountered a person with severe ELID infection.
At first, there were intermittent signals for help coming from inside, but unfortunately, the command post stationed at the entrance soon lost contact with them.
Subsequently, the second batch of four-member search and rescue teams applied for volunteers, and they set off with semi-automatic weapons using full-power bullets provided by the Ground Self-Defense Force.
At the same time as this news was broadcast, WikiLeaks disclosed a top-secret document from the Antiquities Administration with a timestamp of April 2028.
The document clearly states that the widespread low-level radiation infection that broke out in the center of Fukushima in April 28 came from the ruins of Mount Nobuo.
Due to the city's poor supervision, ELID has caused a large number of related vicious criminal cases, and a special police unit specializing in dealing with relics and ELID has intervened in the case.
Investigations have shown that the cause of the incident was that during urban construction, the external isolation layer of the ruins was accidentally dug through, causing a collapse particle flow to spray out from underground.
This explains why the United Nations Heritage Administration flew to Japan and settled in Fukushima City in the second half of 28, which indirectly shows that they are not crazy, but come to assist the Japanese in dealing with this matter.
However, due to various influences from the public and political circles, the actions of the Heritage Management Bureau have been slow.
In fact, there have been many such relic crisis incidents in history. As long as they are handled promptly and properly, the level and scope of the disaster can be controlled.
But this is Japan. The Shinobuyama ruins were discovered late and the research work was basically carried out by foreign scholars, so the local government lacks experience in handling ELID incidents.
This directly led to Fukushima municipal officials not paying enough attention to the accident and not reporting the incident to higher authorities. They only carried out simple isolation and temporary evacuation of the contaminated areas.
Based on the news and evaluation reports sent simultaneously by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Raphael quickly understood the general situation.
The situation inside the Shinobuyama ruins is actually very bad. During excavation and research in the last century, it was discovered that a large amount of space inside the ruins was used to store collapse fluid.
This shows that the Shinobuyama ruins were most likely a material storage warehouse for the previous civilization.
These collapse fluids stored in crystal capsules can theoretically be restored to their original appearance using reverse collapse technology.
For this reason, after the Nobuoyama ruins were excavated in the last century, they were quickly considered to be of no value for further research.
Everything here is also found in other ruins, and even the remaining supporting facilities are more complete.
After some collapse fluid was extracted from here in the early days, it was basically determined that it had little value for further research.
Rather than continue to maintain expensive personnel protective equipment and labor expenses, it would be better to directly close the Shinobuyama Ruins Research Institute.
This is a very good economic deal, and research projects without prospects do not deserve continued funding.
Just as Raphael learned, the world's major powers are still at the superficial level in their understanding and application of collapse technology, and abandoning and sealing it is the best and most appropriate decision.
"…The fourth explosion occurred at the Futaba-gun Nuclear Power Plant. The TEPCO crisis response team decided to inject seawater into the unit…"
"Raphael, something seems to have happened at the Nobuoyama ruins."
Lingyin put her precious laptop on the table and greeted the sulking Raphael.
"Look, these are the images sent back by the external camera of the AA-03D load-bearing suit. It seems that something has collapsed."
She tapped the screen with her finger, and a distorted human figure flashed by.
“…Could this be a high school student who strayed in by mistake?”
Raphael took a look and said, "I don't know. A normal person can't be twisted into that state. Anyway, he is a severely ELID infected person. He will definitely die if he runs into something like this."
She immediately received a call from Director Harry, who reported on the recent situation of the Shinobuyama ruins and nuclear facilities, and asked if there were any changes to the decision at home and whether she could go.
"No."
The reply was as usual, leaving no room for bargaining.
Raphael wanted to threaten her, but Harry seemed to have heard the humanoid girl's thoughts and warned her sternly:
“DARPA still has the capability to produce the Mind Core, and when it produces enough, it will be able to get the complete Mind Core.
Using the data you left behind to do another mental training, we can also obtain new artificial intelligence and tactical dolls."
“That would take two to three years.”
"For cutting-edge exploration and research, time is the least valuable of all costs. We can afford to wait, and so can the Department of Defense."
"Yes, Chief."
Raphael hung up the phone and frowned in dissatisfaction. It seemed that she had to give in.
Uniqueness represents her value, and when this value drops, there is no room for bargaining.
"What should we do?" Lingyin asked.
"Be prepared." Raphael replied.
She didn't go to the scene in person, but she was able to deduce the direction of the disaster at the Nobuoyama ruins and the Futaba County nuclear power plant based on the data...
