Chapter 117: Under the power outage in the prison

Back in the room, Han Feng booked an alarm for eight o'clock in the morning. In such a pitch-black environment, Han Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Sitting on the bed, Han Feng contacted Simon: "Simon, have you found anything?" ”

"Report to the Han team, there is nothing to be found for the time being."

"Good...... Let everyone work hard tonight, and the number of people on duty is a little more. Han Feng, who was not relieved, said.

"Okay Han team, you can rest, I'm here here." Listening to Simon's confident voice, the last trace of uneasiness in Han Feng's heart also disappeared.

Yes, with Simon and more than 100 Red Police soldiers in charge, what can be the problem. After laughing at himself, Han Feng lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep......

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! At eight o'clock in the morning, a rapid alarm woke up Han Feng.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Han Feng reluctantly got up and turned off the alarm clock......

While washing, Han Feng contacted Luna and Simon and said, "Was there anything wrong with last night?" ”

"Report to the Han team, everything was fine last night, there were no problems." The first to speak was Simon, who had been on guard all night.

"Thank you Simon, if you don't have anything to do during the day, let the soldiers take turns to rest, and cancel the mission of going out to kill zombies today." Han Feng also knew that all the Red Guard soldiers had not rested last night, and in order to keep them full of physical strength, Han Feng decided not to "make money" today.

"Okay Han team, I'll arrange it."

"What about you? Luna. After Simon replied, Han Feng asked Luna again.

"Report to the Korean team, there was a skirmish between the survivors and the soldiers last night, which has now subsided."

"Conflict?! What conflict?! ”

"Because of the panic caused by the power outage."

“…… I see, call the engineer. By the way, let Wayne get the armored car ready, and remember to bring all the gear! Bring four more one-star American GIs, and Simon will follow with him, and set off in a moment. Hearing that the survivors began to panic, Han Feng's heart was also tight.

At this point, the most urgent thing right now is to restore the power.

After washing, the engineer arrived.

"Can you confirm the location of the power plant now?" As soon as he saw the engineer, Han Feng asked.

"I can confirm it, Team Han, I found the city circuit plan yesterday."

"Good! Let's go! Luna, you marked Wayne with the location of the power plant. ”

"Okay Team Han, Wayne is already downstairs."

"Let's go." Hearing that the car had already gone downstairs, Han Feng beckoned the engineer to go downstairs together.

Along the way, Han Feng instructed Wayne to avoid zombies as much as possible. On this trip, although Simon and five one-star American GIs were brought with him, the number was still far from enough. Although this mission is only to repair the power station, not to go out to kill zombies, it is better to be cautious on the road.

After more than half an hour of "cautious" driving, Han Feng and his party finally came to the power plant.

As soon as he got out of the car, Han Feng looked at the gate of the power plant and did not move for a long time......

"What's wrong, Team Han? Did you find something? Seeing Han Feng's strange appearance, Simon walked back and asked.

"Nuclear...... Nuclear power plant? This is a nuclear power plant?!!! Han Feng pointed to the three words on the gate of the power plant with a trembling hand, and said in extreme fear.

"Uh...... Yes? This is the nuclear power plant, huh? At this point, the engineer also walked back.

"Mom...... It turned out to be a nuclear power plant that supplies electricity to the prison?! ”

“……”

“……”

Looking at the panicked Han Feng, Simon and the engineer didn't know what to say......

"Let's go, Team Han, it's not as terrifying as you think, it's just a nuclear power plant." Seeing that Han Feng still hadn't moved, the engineer pulled Han Feng and said.

A few minutes later, eight people came to the front of a building.

"Here we are, here it is. Wait a minute. After the engineer said this, Simon continued: "Okay, you four go in with the engineer, and a zombie will shoot and kill immediately." ”

After the engineer and four American GIs entered, there were only three people in the same place: Han Feng, Simon and Wayne. It was only at this time that Han Feng came back to his senses......

Along the way, Han Feng's brain was in a state of confusion. The scene of the explosion of the nuclear power plant was thought of countless times in my mind......

"Dada!" Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out in the building, but it only lasted a few seconds before stopping. It seems that the engineer must have encountered the zombies in the building.

Smoking a cigarette, Han Feng squatted on the ground. I thought what I was doing with me? This is a nuclear power plant! What if it blows up? The nuclear power plant has not been taken care of for so long, and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems this time. And it's been a night since the power outage...... How long can it last?

"Team Korea? Team Korea? Just as Han Feng was immersed in his inner world, the engineer's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Huh? What's wrong?! Is the nuclear power plant going to explode?! ”

"Puff ......" Seeing Han Feng look so nervous, the engineer couldn't help but laugh.

After a few laughs, the engineer said, "Team Han, this is a nuclear power plant." Even if no one takes care of it, it will last for a while, and it is not an artillery battle, how can it be said that it will be blown up? ”

After listening to the engineer, Han Feng smiled awkwardly. Thinking back to his previous embarrassment, his face was hot...... Han Feng had seen a movie "Chernobyl" before, which told that a nuclear power plant had a leak, and the situation was very serious.

Looking at the engineer with a relaxed face, Han Feng asked, "That...... Has the power been restored? What's going on inside? ”

"Report to the Han team, the situation inside is not optimistic......" When he said this, the engineer's face gradually became heavy.

"What does it mean to be not optimistic? Could it be true...... Will it blow up?! At this moment, Han Feng's heart that had just relaxed rose again.

"Fried ...... Not now. The situation inside is like this, first of all, nuclear power plants are not the same as reactors. For some special reactors, the power outage can be unmanned for 1 month, which is the pool reactor. ”

"Isn't that good? It's no problem for 1 month, but now it's unattended for half a month, and the power outage is not for half a day, so you go to repair it?! After listening to the engineer's introduction, Han Feng breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then urged the engineer to repair.

"But the problem is that the nuclear power plant inside is not a pool reactor structure...... It's a shell construction......"

"Huh? Shell construction? Does it matter? For the nouns he didn't understand, Han Feng asked patiently.

"It has a lot to do with the shell construction, which requires a pump set to continuously drive the coolant (mostly light water) into the pressure vessel where the reactor core is located. And this process requires electricity, which is the biggest threat brought by power outages - cold loss. ”

After a pause, the engineer continued: "Because the cold loss is the most terrible, there are many countermeasures for nuclear power plants now. In the event of an external blackout at a nuclear power plant, the reactor will not immediately stop operating completely. Even the second-generation reactor has its own diesel generator and UPS power supply. So when there is an external power outage, the UPS power supply will be on first, and then the diesel generator will start. ”

"And then?!"

"I have just checked the diesel generator, although it starts automatically and brings temporary power to the power plant...... However, due to the lack of supervision, the diesel generators ran out of fuel and the reactor was still in a state of blackout. ”

"The end result...... What will happen? At this point, the air began to solidify little by little. There were a few moments when Han Feng actually felt suffocated.

"If the external power supply is never restored, eventually the heat will slowly accumulate and the coolant will gradually heat up. At this time, there will still be cold loss. After the loss of cooling, the pressure of the pressure shell vessel will be excessive. At this time, the pressure must be released, but the release of pressure means that the coolant is lost at an accelerated rate, which will lead to a vicious circle. ”

After taking a deep breath, the engineer continued: "No amount of protection will ultimately stop the heat slowly coming out of the fuel rods in the reactor. The enormous heat causes the zirconium alloy to react with water to produce large amounts of hydrogen. After that, there will be an explosion due to excessive hydrogen accumulation and excessive pressure. Eventually, the huge heat melts the entire fuel rod, causing the fuel block in the zirconium alloy to fall out. This is known as core meltdown, which is the most terrible accident at the nuclear power plant. ”

“…… Can an explosion be avoided? Han Feng's "calm" words carried a hint of trembling.

"Melting is not an explosion...... But more terrifying than an explosion. Nuclear radiation will unscrupulously pollute every inch of land here. It will take a hundred or thousand years to recover. ”

"So how can you avoid the meltdown you say?"

"I'm sorry for Team Korea...... I...... I can't help it. The loss of cold has already begun......" With that, the engineer slowly lowered his head......

"I'm pretty sure that the time before the meltdown of the reactor at the nuclear power plant is about 48 hours from now, and it won't happen for at least 36 hours!" Suddenly, the Engineer raised his head and said firmly.

This sentence gave Han Feng a "shot in the arm"! Then he said: "It means we have less than two days to evacuate?!" ”

"Yes."

"Good! Go back! Go back and tell everyone to evacuate! After speaking, Han Feng raised his legs and walked towards the gate of the nuclear power plant, and on the way, Han Feng also asked the engineer: "How far do we need to evacuate?" What is the radius of this leak? ”

"Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a radius for nuclear radiation. Radioactive substances that rush into the atmosphere spread rapidly with climatic conditions such as wind, but the site of the explosion is the source of radiation, so the radiation site is most severely affected. ”

After thinking for a moment, the engineer continued: "According to my estimates, such a nuclear power plant leaks...... Thirty kilometers is an extremely dangerous zone! A hundred kilometers is a buffer zone, and although this distance is dangerous, it is not too dangerous. If you want to avoid the nuclear contamination here completely...... At the very least, it is necessary to evacuate to a distance of 150 to 200 kilometers from here. ”
