Chapter 1145 Safe and Sound
Bessonova initially thought that the player and her party were robbers who appeared out of nowhere, but the other party did not rob her of any property. Although they did secretly pry open the doors of many shops under the cover of night, they only took some. The emergency change is mostly various daily supplies that may be used, and I don't take too much.
In addition, they all looked Ukrainian or Russian, but the strange thing was that no one could speak Ukrainian or Russian. Besonova thought she could deduce their identities from this.
——This group of people is most likely Americans or Europeans of Russian and Ukrainian origin living in the Western world. They were specially selected to sneak into SL to carry out secret espionage activities. However, Besonova thought about it again, it seems that It also makes no sense. How can a spy who infiltrates an enemy country not learn the enemy's language at all? What kind of infiltration is this? Moreover, what this group of people spoke didn’t sound like English, and I didn’t know which language it was from.
But they were indeed particularly interested in nuclear power plants, and even pretended to be experts to talk to the engineers of the nuclear power plant. But then Besonova discovered that what they were interested in was not the technology of the nuclear power plant, but the accident that happened last night. In other words, this group of guys pretending to be experts are really doing what the expert team in Moscow should be doing.
So Besonova was completely confused. She now had no idea what the origins of the players were. She even had the illusion that the other players were standing with them, the residents of Pripyat. , On the contrary, the nuclear power plant seems to be hiding something.
Moreover, although Bessonova knows nothing about nuclear physics, she is a nurse in a medical center after all, and she knows a little bit about radiation sickness. She can see that the players and their party have suffered varying degrees of radiation, and then contact the two parties just now In the meeting scene, the players rushed into the ward wearing the clothes of nuclear power plant workers.
The time happened to be shortly after the Chernobyl accident. Besonova remembered clearly that because of the huge fire during the explosion, the little nurse who was on duty with her also pulled her to the window to see. They were Just guessing what happened at the nuclear power plant, and not long after that, they all became prisoners of the players.
In other words, this group of people was probably at the scene when the nuclear power plant exploded last night. Did they discover something, so they started investigating. But Bessonova didn't know what would happen even if the investigation came out. She could tell that some of the players were not in good condition. Although the doctor could provide some treatment, it was basically just to relieve pain.
Especially Coconut. Her physical condition is even worse than that of some nuclear power plant workers who were sent to the hospital. What she needs most now is to receive formal treatment instead of forcing herself to conduct any investigation here.
However, Besonova also knew that her words had no effect on the players. She had not forgotten her current identity, and she was still a prisoner.
Besonova followed Coconut's request and called Akimov after Dyatlov. The latter was the foreman on duty at Reactor No. 4 last night. He was 33 years old. He wore glasses and had thick curly hair. He looked quite strong, but now he was extremely weak. The skin was completely burned by the radiation and turned dark brown. His face, hands, and even his tongue were swollen, and it was difficult to even speak.
His radiation exposure was much more severe than that of Dyatlov, because according to his own statement, after the accident, he and Toptunov ran to the reactor to try to restore the water supply.
When he said this, he was interrupted by Besonova. Just like she once questioned Dyatlov, Besonova also questioned the foreman on duty, "Are you sure the reactor is still intact?"
Akimov obviously hesitated, his body began to tremble, and at the same time he kept repeating what he had been repeating when he first entered the room, "Everything we did was correct, we followed the regulations in the operation manual, we made no mistakes, really of……"
"Calm down, Comrade Akimov, we are not here to hold you accountable, at least not now. We just want to know the specific conditions of the reactor to provide scientific basis for the next decision-making above, so you just need to tell the truth. Just tell us what you see."
"I..." Akimov opened his mouth, "We experienced a serious radiological accident... but fortunately the reactor is still safe."
It took a lot of effort for him to say this, but he obviously felt better after saying it.
"What was the radiation value at that time?"
"1,000 microroentgens per second." Akimov pushed up the glasses on his face, "The top priority after the explosion was to inject water into the reactor to prevent it from melting down due to high temperature, so we followed the requirements of Fuming's chief engineer to prepare Turn on the No. 2 emergency water pump and start injecting water into the reactor.
"However, because we lost the power supply, the gate valve could only be opened manually, so Toptunov and I turned the handle along the line. It took us several hours to open the regulating valves on the two branch lines, but For some unknown reason, there seemed to be some leakage in the reactor, and by then we were completely exhausted and were taken to the medical center by ambulance, and our replacement was Smakin."
Akimov's narrative is filled with guilt and self-blame.
Bessonova could see that the man in front of her was really upset about the trouble he had caused, but he seemed to really not know what he had done wrong, so she could only repeat that I was right, everything was in line. Rules and the like to try to make your conscience feel better.
Bessonova even couldn't bear to ask any more questions and continued to put pressure on the poor man, forcing him to recall all the details of the incident. However, Bessonova only said that this matter was not something she could do. After deciding, Zhang Heng and others had no intention of interrupting or suspending the conversation.
However, they did gain something. At least they found some things from Akimov's answers that were different from what Dyatlov said. For example, when the power dropped, according to Akimov, Dyatlov was also controlling the power. He became furious and scolded Toptunov, the senior reactor control engineer at the time, and then ordered Toptunov to quickly increase the power, but Toptunov refused.
So Dyatlov brought out the safety regulations and said that according to the safety regulations, if the power drops from 80%, the power can only be increased after 24 hours, but now the power has dropped from 50%. Yes, the safety regulations do not stipulate that the power cannot be increased immediately.
