Chapter 835 Crazy Adventure (Asking for Monthly Votes)
The biting cold wind howled, and the 722 research base, which had experienced aftershocks again, seemed to be rubbed by a giant hand, with devastated and dead silence.
Even so, Gu Ji still did not stop.
Perhaps it was because he had personally experienced the horror of radiation many times in the Nepal virus checkpoint before, and now his psychological tolerance was naturally different.
Gao Bo followed him and moved forward in the ruins with difficulty.
Every step was like stepping on thin ice that could collapse at any time, making a "creaking" sound, which was particularly abrupt in this dead night.
The Geiger counters in their hands became the most terrifying alarm bells at this moment.
The constantly jumping and rising radiation values were like a death warrant.
As the two approached the ruins of the research institute step by step, the beeping of the Geiger counter became more and more urgent, the frequency became higher and higher, and the sharp sound echoed in the empty ruins, which made people shudder.
Finally, the two came to the ruins.
The wreckage of the collapsed building was scattered wantonly, like the shattered body of a giant after it fell.
In the ruins, many broken silver metal tanks were lying in all directions, and the thick golden liquid in the tanks was slowly flowing out, mixing with a large amount of nuclear radiation waste on the ground. Under the erosion of rain and snow, it emitted a strange light.
Gao Bo looked at the scene in front of him, and his horror reached its peak.
At this time, the value of the Geiger counter had already exceeded the limit, reaching 10.2 millisieverts per hour, as if announcing that they were on the edge of hell.
This is close to the radiation intensity during the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident.
This means that once the human body is irradiated, it only takes a very short time for the cells to be destroyed by this super strong radiation.
Although the chemical protective suits on their bodies can provide a certain degree of protection, they seem so thin and fragile in the face of this almost pervasive strong radiation.
Gao Bo knew that in this ruins that were completely contaminated by radiation, every extra second they stayed there would increase the risk of being harmed by radiation.
But with the mission in hand, they now had to suppress their fear and investigate carefully, and record everything.
"Gu Ji, did you find anything?"
"Nothing, Captain Lei is calling us, the radiation here is too strong, let's go back first!"
Seeing Gu Ji lowering his head and being silent for a long time, Gao Bo shouted.
It happened that Lei Wanshan was signaling with a strong flashlight in the distance, reminding them to retreat as soon as possible, so Gu Ji dragged Gao Bo away from the ruins quickly.
The reason why he was distracted just now.
It was because the golden liquid was almost exactly the same as the liquid in the "isotropic energy transition device" that Vidi snatched from the Indian branch of the extremist organization Kaiida at the Nepal checkpoint.
Because the system's judgment mechanism is that the recovered items will not be prompted again.
So Gu Ji couldn't tell whether the two were the same type of items for a while.
If that was true.
The radioactive waste derived from the research process of a fragment can be rated orange and combined into a heaven-defying equipment like [ORS Orbital Satellite Radiation Energy Weapon Group];
If he directly recycles the fragment body, what kind of terrifying weapon can be born?
But what makes Gu Ji feel strange is.
He clearly saw Director Zheng take the fragment core out of the radiation safety box with his own eyes, but he did not receive any system prompts.
Is there something wrong with the fragment, or...
Its level is too high, far beyond the upper limit of the game system's cognition?
"Captain Lei!"
"The leak in the research institute is really serious. The radioactive dust on you two has exceeded the surrounding environmental radiation!"
As soon as Gu Ji ran back, Director Zheng held the monitoring instrument and measured the two of them.
Lei Wanshan asked about the specific situation.
Gao Bo quickly took out his mobile phone and showed all the videos and photos he had taken.
After seeing the golden radioactive waste, Director Zheng panicked completely. His head shook uncontrollably, as if he couldn't bear the result: "No, how could there be so much damage..."
"Director Zheng, is this the radioactive waste you mentioned earlier?"
"Yes."
Facing the inquiry of Captain Li Changshun.
Director Zheng nodded, forced himself to calm down, and began to explain:
"According to the normal process, the radioactive waste accumulated in our institute needs to be poured into a closed lead tank, and regularly transferred to a safe landfill, sealed with cement a hundred meters underground; and when this 8.0 earthquake occurred, it happened to be the day when the waste was transferred in a centralized manner, so..."
"So there are so many radioactive materials in the institute now?"
Lei Wanshan gave the answer one step ahead of time.
At this time, Ye Xiaoshu, who was responsible for reporting to the command center, returned with a satellite radio.
"Captain Lei, the command center has received the report. The higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. The military region has dispatched chemical defense and engineering forces to support us. Director Chen ordered us to handle the radiation leak!"
"Got it."
Lei Wanshan turned his head and continued to look at Director Zheng: "Director Zheng, the situation is serious now. Please tell us how to deal with it?"
"The radioactive waste of the institute is not as simple as nuclear waste in the traditional sense. It has extremely strong gamma rays and very strong penetrating ability. It must be sealed with tungsten or lead metal at ordinary times. The situation is urgent now. You can use borax or ordinary sand to bury it first, and then cover it with cement to seal it."
"We can't find this deep mountain forest, let alone borax!"
"And even if there is sand, it's raining so heavily now, and a shovel will be washed away in a few seconds!"
As soon as this is said.
All the soldiers around him were in trouble.
At the critical moment, Li Changshun stood up, his tone with unquestionable majesty:
"We are soldiers, and soldiers must obey military commands. No matter how heavy the rain is, since the superiors ask us to solve the radiation spread, even if we bury it with our hands, we have to block the hole!!"
"Yes! Company Commander!"
As soon as the military order was issued.
The air crew soldiers present immediately straightened their backs together, but their eyes were firm and unyielding. With a big order, they immediately rushed forward to do it.
As Li Changshun said.
No matter how difficult it is, their soldiers must complete their tasks.
"Gu Ji, you have been watching for so long, is there any good way?"
Pasili, who was standing by, seemed to have been observing for a long time. Seeing that Gu Ji had been staring at the west side of the ruins of the institute, he couldn't help but ask.
And as soon as he said this.
It immediately attracted many people to look at each other.
Everyone present knew that Gu Ji was in a bright future. The more critical the moment, the more ideas they had.
Lei Wanshan's pupils shrank slightly.
Seeing that he was eager to speak but stopped, he should have some concerns, so he spoke, "Gu Ji, just say anything if you have any ideas."
"Yes, Team Thunder."
Gu Ji picked up Gao Bo's mobile phone again, compared the pictures, and compared the real scene in the distance:
"Look at the structural diagram of the ruins of the institute, which is high in the west and low in the east, and the location of the radiated waste is at the lowest point in the center; I have calculated the height of the ruins pile on the west side. If it can be used, it can just bury the exposed waste. .”
"But, the ruins are so large that even if we excavate together, there will be not enough manpower."
"Yes, and most of the ruins are brick-concrete cement, which is very hard, but it is not as easy to get digging out mud and sand!"
Several of the air crew soldiers subconsciously raised doubts.
But Lei Wanshan shook his lower eyelids and his pupils shone slightly.
"Do you want to use directional blast?"
"That's right!"
Gu Ji pointed to the left-hand position on the center of the ruins on the west side of the photo, "We can dig a deep pit at this load-bearing position and load the explosives into it according to the calculated amount, which is enough to make the ruins collapse and cover the radiation leakage area!"
"This is a good idea!"
Director Zheng habitually pushed down the black-framed glasses in the gas mask, "Although the ruins pile is not the best landfill material, the current environment and conditions are indeed the fastest and best solution!"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"What are the drawbacks."
Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the director's words.
Unexpectedly, Lei Wanshan knocked back with a hammer.
really.
The same tactical system foundation and thinking mode are also very similar.
Gu Ji knew that Lei Wanshan might have thought of his plan, and might have even had the idea when he and Gao Bo went to observe the scene close.
"It's an error! The tools in our hands are limited, and the high-intensity radiation environment is extremely harsh, and it requires rotational operations, which means it is difficult for us to concentrate and calmly complete. Once an error occurs at the blasting entrance, it will affect the final angle of the ruins collapse;
There may be offsets that cannot fully cover radiant waste, or even the worst result... smash more waste cans! ”
"this……"
For a moment, everyone lowered their heads and fell into silence.
The former is not bad. At worst, the exposed part will be left and then artificially concentrated landfill.
But once the latter occurs.
No one can bear this responsibility.
Not only does the excessive radiation spread, but everyone on the scene dies, the most terrifying thing is that it will threaten the lives and safety of the civilians nearby villages and towns!
"Team Lei, do we need to think about it again?"
"Yes, why not report to the command center and let Director Chen decide?"
Stay silent for a long time.
Team 2 and several special police officers from the reserve force whispered a few words.
For such a big thing, of course, you have to submit it to the organization for approval.
While Ye Xiaoshu left with the radio, Li Changshun summoned all the soldiers from the air service regiment and surrounded them, not knowing what they were discussing.
Finally, with the collective "ha" cheering.
He walked over firmly, his eyes showing a courageous courage.
"Lei Team, if the superior decides to implement this plan, our 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the Special Air Service Regiment will definitely do everything possible to complete this excavation task at all costs and ensure that the error is controlled at the minimum range!"
"Lei Team! Director Chen and Commander Ma of the Commander of the Command, agree!"
Before Lei Wanshan could answer.
Behind him, Ye Xiaoshu ran back with the news.
Looking at Li Changshun's extremely firm gaze, Lei Wanshan and Gu Ji naturally knew what the saying "at all costs" meant.
But, they have no choice.
From the time when everyone discovered the leak, it was less than ten minutes before the environmental radiation value of the 100-meter range had exceeded 3.9 millimeters per hour. If it continued to drag on, the situation would only become more and more serious.
In the end, it will probably be the same as Chernobyl.
In the face of super strong radiation, even if humans wear chemical protective clothing, they can't stand it for long, and they will be burned to death by radiation!
"Okay!"
Lei Wanshan agreed immediately, "We will be divided into three groups: First, the 341 Task Force, except Gu Ji, Gao Bo, me, and Pasili, all others will cooperate with Captain Li to go to the ruins of the institute to dig holes, five people in a group, and the longest working time of each group shall not exceed 5 minutes;
Second, Pasili, you are responsible for going back to the valley to get explosives."
"Understood, Captain Lei."
Pasili was born in Jinbang and is already adapted to the high mountain environment. He also won the first place in physical fitness in the national special police peak competition, and is most suitable for this task of running around.
The explosives he mentioned were previously found from the weapons and equipment of Indian special forces.
This can be regarded as recycling of waste.
"The rest of the people I called out, as the on-site commander, Gu Ji, you personally use the laser to command the construction team to locate and excavate. When the preparations are completed, you, me, and Gao Bo, the three of us will be responsible for installing explosives and carrying out blasting!"
"Understood!"
"Okay, time is running out, everyone act immediately! Quick!"
In just a few words.
Lei Wanshan arranged the division of labor for everyone on the scene.
With a "clatter", Pasili removed the quick-release buckle of the tactical vest. Except for a 92A pistol on his body just in case, all the remaining equipment and supplies were removed in order to reduce weight and retrieve the explosives as quickly as possible.
And Li Changshun also sorted out the gas masks and chemical protective suits, and selected the electric picks, crowbars, shovels, hydraulic support rods and other equipment used for excavation.
The soldiers held the tools in their hands tightly one by one. Through the goggles, they could see that everyone looked firmly at the area full of radioactive waste, without a trace of fear in their hearts.
As the formation was completed.
The first five-member team was led by Li Changshun himself.
At his command, they rushed straight to the radiation ruins with their equipment.
The wind was blowing wildly, and the cold particles hit their chemical protective suits, making a dense and rapid sound.
Gu Ji, Gao Bo, and Lei Wanshan stood 30 meters in front of the radiation-contaminated ruins of the research institute, using the visible laser indicator on the gun light to provide the engineering team with precise excavation points.
Facing the explosive radiation values.
Li Changshun and his team members did not hesitate at all. As the first laser point appeared, they immediately started the tools in their hands and began to dig in the ruins on the west side.
"Ding ding bang bang..."
Hearing the sound of excavation, Lei Wanshan immediately pressed the stopwatch.
According to Director Zheng, the gamma rays near the radioactive waste are extremely strong, and no matter how powerful the anti-gas suit is, it can't withstand dozens of minutes of direct exposure.
Therefore, they adopted the same process as transferring waste in the Iranian underground base.
Each group of people only has 5 minutes to work.
