Chapter 290: Start testing! Additional updates for the leader, Gao Shan Liu Shui 8/10)
ps: This is an additional update, there will be regular chapters updated in the evening
June 15th, a very ordinary summer, with the scorching sun baking the earth as usual.
Workers and researchers were busy coming and going on the roads of the nuclear energy industrial park, and the core construction area was a bustling scene.
It has been more than ten days since Xuchuan arrived here in early June. Most of the work in the nuclear energy industrial park has been completed. What is left now is the debugging of the linear particle accelerator.
Everyone's hearts are as hot as the scorching sun hanging in the sky. It took nearly a year to build a miraculous project on a deserted land. Whether it can succeed depends on this last step.
In the core of the industrial park, Xu Chuan stood at the construction site wearing a safety helmet and looked at the busy engineering staff.
On the side, Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the entire project, was personally on site, directing the engineers to complete the final work.
"Please note that working group No. 1 will start a round of testing in one hour."
"Please note that working group No. 2 must ensure that the power supply is stable!"
"Attention, Working Group Three..."
Orders one after another continued to be laid out calmly from Qi Zhongxing's mouth. At the same time, engineers from the Nuclear Industry Group stood beside various equipment, operating professional equipment and carrying out operations in an orderly manner.
"The interface group has completed its work and all connection ports have been checked! Confirm that all interfaces are normal!"
"The measurement and control team is ready for work. All current measurement, control and recording equipment are operating normally, ensuring complete data recording!"
"..."
Over the intercom, firm and powerful answers came one after another.
After looking at the core workplace for a while, Xu Chuan looked at the time on the screen of his mobile phone, which read 9:05 AM.
In another fifty-five minutes, the first round of complete testing will begin.
The storage equipment that has been transported to the core area to store nuclear waste will be released from the relatively fragile tank in a controlled explosion. At that time, the terrifying and crazy nuclear radiation will instantly flood the entire core area.
The core area that has been completely closed is almost impossible to open again.
Some people may ask, since nuclear waste is filled in individual tanks, can't I open one first for testing?
Obviously, those who have this idea hardly consider the ionizing properties of nuclear radiation.
Nuclear radiation at ultra-high doses has extremely terrifying ionization and interference capabilities, and the micro-munitions and controllers used for blasting will soon be damaged.
Moreover, in this massive amount of ionizing radiation, almost any communication is impossible, and the signal will be extremely seriously interfered.
Therefore, in addition to using small black boxes to conduct repeated experiments at the beginning, the entire nuclear waste power station is almost impossible to stop once it starts operating.
Unless the power generation is shut down, the entire core will be turned into a huge tomb like Chernobyl.
.......
An hour was a short time in the past, and it would pass by just meditating on a problem or wandering off.
But until now, it will undoubtedly be quite a long time.
In the main control room of the nuclear waste power plant, Xu Chuan was still calm, but Han Jin on the side and Wu Weizhao, the general office staff arranged by the Ministry of Science and Technology to replace Qin Anguo as the liaison officer, could not help but watch it again and again.
Watch it again.
The time is beating minute by minute. The closer it is to ten o'clock, the more solemn the atmosphere in the main control room becomes.
At the same time, in the sky above the coast of Qidong, accompanied by deafening roars, several fighter jets were constantly patrolling as planned.
On the ground, straight and fully armed figures set up a cordon more than ten kilometers outside the nuclear energy industrial park. There were also various radars and monitoring equipment constantly patrolling the surrounding area, even if a mosquito appeared from mid-air.
If you fly over in the middle, you can figure out the male and female.
In fact, since up to 500 tons of high-level nuclear waste was transported from the storage base, the area nearby has entered the highest level of alert.
Anyone who wants to enter this area must go through several security checks and show a pass. If you don't have a pass, you'll be embarrassed.
After all, more than 500 tons of high-level nuclear waste is no joke. Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be serious.
It is no exaggeration to say that the security personnel stationed here have considered any possible situation. Even if an aircraft carrier from a hostile country comes over, they will find a way to sink it as soon as possible.
.......
At ten o'clock sharp, the sky outside the nuclear energy industrial park was clear, and the sea not far away was quite calm, with white waves lapping along the coastline.
Along the coast and in the industrial park, both researchers and soldiers stationed on the ground were working at their respective posts in an orderly manner.
The monitoring equipment deployed inside the core area is still operating normally, transmitting the complete picture back.
Through the various display screens, one can clearly see that in the core area, barrels of nuclear waste exist quietly on the ground.
This is probably the last picture these surveillance cameras can deliver back.
Because after nuclear radiation spreads, even monitoring equipment using the latest protection technology will not be able to withstand the impact of high-intensity ionizing radiation.
"Report, the linear particle accelerator has repeatedly completed the inspection work, and the current equipment is normal."
"Report, the current power supply is stable, and the three sets of transformers can be connected to the power grid system at any time."
"Report, the repeated inspection of the outer wall of the core area has been completed, and the current radiation indicators are within the standard range!"
"...."
A series of reports sounded continuously in the main control room.
In fact, these things have already been checked several times, but they will still be completely confirmed again before the final test is started.
At ten o'clock sharp, everyone in the general control room, whether they were engineers, researchers, or invited media reporters, all turned their attention to the young man standing in the center of the crowd.
At the same time, several CTV lenses are facing here, ready to press and record this precious scene at any time.
Xu Chuan took a deep breath and commanded clearly and calmly: "Start the test!"
As this clear and powerful sound was transmitted, the testing work was officially launched. In the surveillance screen, a silent picture came from the core area, and the storage equipment used to house high-level nuclear waste was placed on the micro-scale on the wall of the barrel.
The detonator is destroyed, and the high-level nuclear waste inside is exposed...
Immediately, the picture transmitted by the surveillance equipment suddenly stopped and turned into a snowflake.
The moment the nuclear waste was leaked, the monitoring systems deployed in the core area were interfered with or destroyed by the powerful ionizing radiation released by the nuclear waste.
At this moment, everyone in the general control was excited.
