Chapter 1166: Of course it's better to live longer!

Anti-Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, reactor No. 2.

At this time, all kinds of large construction machinery are already in place. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' concrete pump truck with a height of more than 40 meters, the QSCB deep soil boring machine used for excavation under Hitachi Construction, the large-scale commercial concrete supply station of Nissan Chai, and the cutting-edge equipment that the 200-person death squad can play with were all present at the scene.

Because it was the first reactor to explode and the first to melt down, Unit 2 was the first target of the Japanese rescue plan.

At this time, although only the 200-member death squad around Crew 2 was busy working, in fact, the drones shuttling back and forth in the sky were broadcasting the situation here to the whole of Japan.

It can be said that this 200-member team is the last hope of all Japan for the safety of the Fukushima nuclear power plant!

At this time, in front of the TV, in the major forums and interactive communities, the people's discussion has reached its peak;

"What a good team of 200 people! This is the hope of our great Japan and the model of selfless dedication!"

"Stop the melt-through! You must stop the melt-through, 200 warriors! Japan will never forget you!"

"I really want to be there, if I hadn't gone and it wouldn't have been useful for the remediation plan, I really wanted to be there!"

"With such warriors, we will definitely succeed! Let those Chinese pigs who take advantage of the fire to die! Great Japan does not need to rely on anyone! We have our own spirit and strength!"

Komolov had already revealed the matter of Zhengxin through the media before. After learning that Masanobu took advantage of the fire to rob the general asking price, there was a lot of resistance among the Japanese people.

Now, seeing that the Japanese side is working to curb the meltdown through the government's organization, coupled with the "heroic spirit" of the 200-member death squad, the whole country is naturally in a state of agitation.

Scene.

Kenjiro looked up at the drone in the sky, as if he felt that he was receiving the attention and admiration of all the people.

As an ordinary construction worker all his life, this moment he felt that it was worth it to let himself die immediately - in fact, he did die soon, he passed out and was hospitalized at the end of last year, and was diagnosed with leukemia.

It is because of such misfortune or chance that he stands here, enjoying the admiration and worship that he has never received in his life.

Even if he was shrouded in a thick radiation suit, he looked no different from the other 199 people from the outside.

Thinking of the subsidies and bonuses promised by the government, Kenjiro let out a long sigh. I may be lucky to have such an opportunity at the end of my life, right?

"Kenjiro, don't be in a daze! We can't live up to people's hopes! Hurry up and connect the hoses, and in fifteen minutes, we must put the TBM in place and open the passage to the excavation depth of the base in two hours!"

"Hay! Sasaki-san!"

Kenjiro came back to his senses, responded with enthusiasm, turned around and ran to the construction site.

Kenjiro's team of 50 was responsible for deploying TBMs to dig through the tunnel for the construction of the foundation. And along with the TBM, it goes deep into the ground to assist and maintain the normal operation of the equipment.

This is a chore under normal circumstances, especially under the reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

The team of 50 was faced not only with complex stratigraphic conditions, but also with radiation ten times greater than normal and a pool of nuclear fuel that had melted deep into the ground and had extremely high temperatures and was completely unpredictable.

Large TBMs need to be built in advance, and the excavator is used to dig a position large enough to accommodate the working depth of the machine before it can start excavating.

With the help of a variety of high-end, highly automated machinery, the TBM was quickly deployed. With the beep of a high-horsepower, low-torque diesel engine, the excavation began.

The QSCB is the latest product of Hitachi Construction. This large-scale underground construction equipment, with a maximum excavation depth of 25 meters per hour, is also Hitachi Construction's most expensive equipment to date – a full 6 million US dollars.

With the cooperation of the 50-person group, the QSCB soon dug deep into the soil. It only took more than two hours to reach a depth of fifty meters underground.

At this moment, standing in the round hole with a 45-degree inclination, Kenjiro glanced behind him—the outside world had turned into a small dot with only a faint light. If it weren't for this little dot, it was as if he felt like he was cut off from the surface world.

He glanced ahead again—the rumbling, echoing of the cavern was correcting its direction at a small angle, toward the bottom of Reactor 2. Ahead was full of dirt and slag from the TBM's rammed dirt, and it was like a road to hell.

"We're not going to encounter any monsters, are we?"

Kenjiro muttered through the noisy radio headset.

"Yaga, where are the monsters?" a member of the team next to him scolded, "You don't need to worry about anything other than that nuclear fuel that can turn you to ashes in an instant." ”

Although he said it lightly, the team's sullen voice was also full of unease.

At this moment, an exclamation mixed with noise came from the radio headset.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? cheer up!"

Kenjiro immediately looked ahead, only to see that one of the team members was already kneeling on the ground, holding his neck with both hands, and trembling violently.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, I seem to have heard vomiting just now, I'm afraid it's not suffocation!"

"Hurry up, take off his mask!"

"Yaga! No! take off the mask, he'll be killed by radiation!"

"What then?!"

"Hey, hey, cheer up, eat the contents of the mask, eat it, get the clogged air supply pipe, bastard!"

A group of people gathered around the man who was constantly convulsing and began to carry out the rescue with all hands and feet. But it didn't work, as the seconds passed, the man's convulsions became more and more violent.

"This won't work! He's unconscious! If you don't help him breathe air, he'll die!"

"What then?"

"Take off the mask! You will definitely die of suffocation immediately, but you may die from radiation, the same death, of course it is better to live longer!"

"That's what Sasaki said! Take it off, take it off!"

Faced with the problem of survival, one thing for everyone was quickly unified. It only took a moment for the man who had fallen to the ground, and the mask on his face filled with vomit was removed.

After a first aid of chest compression and cardiopulmonary resuscitation by everyone, the man slowly regained his breathing.

Looking at a group of masked faces leaning in front of him, the man smiled fragily: "Really, I'm causing trouble to you."

"Ha, it's fine. We're warriors together!"

Just when everyone was appeased, this person suddenly grabbed his neck with both hands again, as if a big mouse had been drilled into his throat, and his expression seemed to be even more painful than when he was suffocated before!

"Wow! What's wrong with him?!"

"Radiation! Radiation!"

While everyone was exclaiming, the man's hands around his neck seemed to have received the power of the monster in an instant, and even with gloves, they were deeply embedded in the flesh.

And, bright red blood slowly oozed from his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth!

He struggled, wanted to wail but could only make a bellows-like sound, trying to get rid of it, but his whole body seemed to be clutched by a large, invisible hand.

Convulsions lasted for two minutes before he finally remained motionless, bleeding and breathless.

It was the first time that fifty people underground had seen a life end in such a horrific way at such a close distance.

In the past two minutes, the silent wails and twisted struggles have completely shattered their spirits. When they saw the corpse, covered in vomit, foam, and blood, they all gulped and swallowed.

"Bang !!"

At this moment, the TBM, which was still working, made a loud noise.

"Oh no! The TBM has dug up nuclear fuel! We're dead! We're dead!"

I don't know who shouted first.

Witnessing that horrific death in the first place, coupled with such a sound, everyone's courage was completely shattered!

"Run!"

"Ahh!!!h

With a crazy roar, everyone rushed towards the hole behind them like a swarm of cockroaches scalded by boiling water. All that was left was a horrific corpse and a working TBM.

The corpse didn't know that those who fled had the same thoughts in their hearts at this time as when they "saved" themselves before;

It's the same to die, of course it's better to live longer......
