It was Assange who received Haining and his entourage, arranged accommodation, explained the itinerary of the working group, and then left. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info// Free eBook Download //
Haining hurriedly remembered the itinerary, grabbed Assange again, and asked when he would be able to see Yang Tian.
In the itinerary of the working group, there was indeed a meeting with Yang Tian, but the specific time was not arranged.
Assange was stunned and said: "It was originally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, the chairman will meet you at the government building, take pictures with you, and make a brief statement to the public." But tomorrow the chairman is going to attend the folk celebration of Eid al-Adha, so the meeting will be cancelled, and a banquet may be held to see you off when you leave. ”
"Cancelled?" Haining was stunned, his face was obviously a little lost, but he couldn't do this kind of thing, Yang Tian's schedule was full, and it was normal to cancel the trip at any time.
With a faint sense of loss, Haining set off for Guane after a day of rest in Kaduli.
The first stop arranged by Abyeh's government is the nuclear power plant in Guane.
He was accompanied by Assange, who was the de facto person in charge of the construction of the Guah nuclear power plant and knew everything very well.
As a result of the construction of the nuclear power plant, Guane has provided a large number of job opportunities, and the population of a town on the border between the two states, which was originally less than 50,000, has now quadrupled to more than 200,000.
At the beginning, Yang Tian chose to build a nuclear power plant here, in addition to considering that Guane is the junction of the southwest Kordofan region, from the geographical consideration, the more important reason is that it is remote enough, it is a real pure savanna terrain, on a desolate dry grassland. You can only see the ridgeline on the horizon, and there are few people in a radius of dozens of kilometers, which is extremely convenient for the disposal of nuclear waste.
The team departed from Kaduli at 8 a.m. and, accompanied by a team of soldiers, drove to Guane. It's not close, and it takes five or six hours to get there by car.
In the business car, Haining also communicated with the three experts about the details of the work after arriving in Guane.
Although he was a little disappointed not to see Yang Tian, Haining still put himself into the work, and the outside world paid great attention to this investigation and evaluation. Takeao Amano also attaches great importance to it, and it can be said that it has attracted worldwide attention, and Haining naturally does not dare to take it lightly.
"In this case, Abyeha did not give us too many details, only that today's itinerary is to visit the nuclear power plant, but I don't know exactly what the situation is. So it's all up to us. Haining said to the three experts.
For example, a few years ago, when the IAEA sent a team to Iran, the Iranian side was forced to agree. Deliberately not letting you see what's important.
Although Yang Tian's sincerity was very strong this time, Amono Yifu did not dare to be careless, and specially told Haining before coming that the work must be meticulous and comprehensive.
Therefore, under the premise that the Abyeha government did not give specific details, Haining can only rely on experience to speculate and evaluate Abyeha's nuclear technology capabilities.
Moreover, Haining should also be prepared to negotiate with the Abyeh government, at least. There are some key things that he has to fight for and see.
Two of the three experts are experts from the IAEA's Bureau of Atomic Energy Science and Applications, who are knowledgeable and experienced. He has participated in the investigation of the Iranian nuclear issue before, and the other, an internationally renowned nuclear physicist named Siegel, is the leader of nuclear weapons related research in the former Soviet Union.
Although it was the first time for Siegel to participate in this kind of nuclear weapons investigation and evaluation work, he was the oldest, nodded lightly, and said: "You can rest assured that even if Abye has deliberately concealed this, with our experience, even just by looking at the appearance of the crew, I am afraid that we can infer their technical level." ”
The other two experts also nodded in agreement.
Siegel naturally has this kind of self-confidence, his nearly 50 years of experience in nuclear application research, and the development of nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union are inseparable from his contributions.
Haining has never cooperated with Siegel, although he is a little dissatisfied with Siegel's tone, but he still didn't say anything out of politeness, people are old rivers and lakes, and they should be respected.
"Okay, it's up to you whether this investigation is successful or not." Haining summed it up.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the working group arrived in Guane, and no one specifically pointed out that Haining and his party also saw the huge cooling towers in the east of the city, six in a row, nearly 100 meters high, standing on the ground like a miracle in the world.
"I think they're still in the low-level PWR stage." Siegel snorted disdainfully and whispered.
Haining shook his head slightly, but he also agreed with Siegel's statement.
Although it is rumored in the outside world, or it has been determined that Yang Tian has a complete uranium enrichment technology and the technology to manufacture nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, which are completely different technologies, are really unplayable for a while.
Yang Tian has only been rising for a few years, and suddenly he is about to build a nuclear power plant, and in Haining's view, of course, he can only start with the lowest pressurized water reactor.
But in other words, even if the PWR technology is really successful, it is very remarkable, and you must know that 80% of countries want to play with PWR.
Assange arranged for the group to go to the hotel in Guane first for dinner.
As soon as he saw this posture, Haining immediately became vigilant in his heart, he had seen a lot of this trick, and he found all kinds of reasons, with only one purpose, delay.
So Haining quickly found Assange, saying that he was not hungry for the time being, and wanted to go to the nuclear power plant immediately.
Assange looked at Henin dissatisfied, as if he was upset to eat, but nodded anyway.
When Haining turned around, he vaguely heard a sentence of neurosis floating out of Assange's mouth, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, the goal had been achieved, and it was useless to say more.
Speaking of which, a job like Haining is really thankless, and it is infuriating on both sides.
The convoy drove into the nuclear power plant.
The management of the nuclear power plant is still very strict, and the guards are all soldiers with guns. Haining's gaze had wandered, searching for anything suspicious.
Henin still doesn't know exactly how much Assange plans to show herself, so she can see some of them and speculate as much as she can.
After getting out of the car, Assange greeted Henin. "Do you go to the control room or the crew or the reactor first?" ”
Haining, who had just gotten out of the car, was also stopped by Assange, or was too surprised.
Henin was worried that Assange would avoid the important and take them to see some unimportant facilities. Or just take a look around and make a show or something. But who would have thought that Assange would directly ask if he wanted to see the reactor and the crew.
It can be said that these things are the core of nuclear power plants. Who is not hiding it from the outside world, how Assange This is a posture of opening the door and letting you see.
"Anti-...... Reactor bar. Haining stammered before saying.
To see, of course, to look at the most central thing, the reactor.
Assange pursed his lips, ignoring the strange expression on Henin's face, and led the way. Head to the main building.
Bell followed behind Henin and carefully took out the camera from his satchel, he wanted to take a few pictures.
Haining hurriedly stopped him with his eyes, before the arrival of the working group, about this investigation, whether the working group is allowed to take pictures, videos, etc., the excited Takeo Amano forgot to ask, and Assange didn't say a word, as if both sides had forgotten.
Bell does not see a limit in this regard. Subconsciously, I wanted to take pictures and record them, but Haining didn't dare to forget them, for fear that there would be a dispute and affect the investigation work.
Assange also noticed Henin's small movements and glanced at the camera in Bale's hand. But there was not much change in his expression, he just said indifferently: "If you want to take pictures, I hope you will hurry up, just pick up important photos, don't waste too much time, after seeing the nuclear power plant, we have to go somewhere else." ”
Henin was stunned, Bell was also dumbfounded, and the directors of the next few IAEA agencies were also dumbfounded.
"You'll allow us to take a photo?" Haining asked again uncertainly, he still remembered that time he went to Iran to investigate, wanted to take pictures, and was directly snatched away by the soldiers, he didn't expect Assange to be so generous, this tone, as if to say, if you want to take pictures, don't waste my time.
Siegel snorted, "What's there to shoot." ”
Haining glanced at Bell, and the other party didn't mind, what else did he have to be polite.
After walking with Assange for more than 20 minutes, the group arrived at the reactor.
In the huge ceiling building with an area of several kilometers, the middle is sunken, and four huge metal arms support a huge ball with a diameter of nearly 100 meters.
"This is the reactor." Assange introduced as he led the group to the control room on the side.
Bell's shutter pressed quickly, and the few people accompanying him fell into a stupor.
This reactor, it seems a little strange, it doesn't take the conventional road, it doesn't seem to want an ordinary reactor.
An expert approached Siegel and asked in a low voice: "Siegel, have you ever seen this kind of reactor, a circular fission chamber, which is a little different from a pressurized water reactor, could it be a fast breeder reactor?" ”
Siegel stared at his cloudy brown eyes, and he was also a little dazed, if it weren't for Assange saying that it was a reactor, he really wouldn't have seen that it was a reactor.
Although the shape of the reactor is not fixed, everything depends on the design, but you must not deviate too far.
"Let's see." Siegel muttered, followed Assange, and walked into the control room.
There are also staff in the control room, monitoring the real-time data of the reactor, dozens of electronic screens, swiping countless data, and people are dazzled by it.
Siegel pushed his glasses and stepped forward, frowning as he looked.
At this glance, Siegel was shocked to find that he only understood about half of the things, many control elements, many data formulas, and even he couldn't recognize them.
Assange patted one of the staff members on the shoulder and said, "Bring up the real-time simulation." ”
Then he turned to Haining and his group, and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask, I can explain it to you, but I think you can see it yourself...... Oh, the analog screen is called up, see for yourself, this is what is going on inside the reactor, you are all experts, you can understand it at a glance. ”
On the largest electronic screen, a computer-simulated inside the reactor is cut out.
Siegel and the others did understand it at a glance, but after they understood it, they were dumbfounded, looking at the fiery sphere of light in the picture, and there was a thought in their hearts: Pull it off.
