Chapter 490: Chernobyl

The mouse's words made the doctor's expression change suddenly.

In fact, it's not just mice, almost all players can now taste metal in their mouths, but they can also smell a strong ozone smell, and many people have tight temples, stinging eyelids, and burning chests.

But this copy is basically full of old players, and it's not the first time they've faced danger, and no one will make a fuss about such a small thing, besides, there has just been an explosion here, and many places are still burning, and of course everyone won't expect the air quality to be good, but there are indeed people who think of chemical materials or something.

Until the doctor spat out a word, "nuclear radiation!! ”

"Huh?" Kui Ye frowned.

"We've just been exposed to high-intensity nuclear radiation, no, it's more accurate to say we're still in it!" The doctor's expression was very nervous, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"How do you know for sure?"

"Radioactive iodine, the radioactive iodine produced in nuclear radiation has a metallic taste, and in the recent Fukushima nuclear accident, many interviewees mentioned that they had tasted metal when they were exposed to radiation."

"Wait, we're in the 20th century, shouldn't the setting of this game be ......"

Although the rat didn't say that name in the end, it didn't matter anymore because all the players present knew what he was going to say.

Chernobyl!

The shadow and nightmare of hundreds of thousands of people, the worst and most horrific nuclear accident in human history, the first nuclear incident in the world to be defined as a magnitude 7 nuclear accident, and the other magnitude 7 nuclear accident was the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. At its most dangerous, the Chernobyl nuclear accident even pushed the entire European continent into the abyss.

"We !! Chernobyl" The maintenance worker's expression also sank, "This ozone smell is the smell of high-energy nuclear radiation ionizing the air, just like during a thunderstorm, we are here, April 25, 1986, or the 26th, I can't remember, in short, we are here!" Reactor No. 4 in Chernobyl, it was it that exploded just now. ”

As he spoke, two explosions rang out on the other side of the metal door, but this time the explosion was not as violent as the previous one, and the hallway shook only slightly.

The rat was completely dumbfounded, "We just suffered from nuclear radiation?" Or at the epicenter of the explosion, are we about to die? ”

"I heard that the radiation dose after the explosion of the Chernobyl 4 reactor was 30,000 roentgens per hour," the maintenance worker's face turned pale, "no living thing can withstand such a high level of radiation." ”

"It's not that bad, 30,000 roentgens should be the total radiation dose, and the specific radiation dose will vary greatly depending on the area, although we are very close to the reactor, but the explosion occurred in the building." The doctor gradually calmed down and continued to explain. "Concrete can't completely block out the radiation, but it does help me protect off a lot of it. We're definitely going to die, but we should still have some time. ”

"How long?"

"I can't say the exact time, it is also related to everyone's physical condition." The doctor said, "A few days, a few weeks, a few months, if you're lucky, you might live for a few years...... Of course, there are people who die in a few hours, and we don't have the equipment to detect the current amount of radiation, but it's certain that the sooner we get out of here, the better. ”

"No wonder the name of this dungeon is Invisible Killer, and there is no mission time limit." Coconut's face is ugly.

Now everyone feels as if a time bomb has been embedded in their hearts, and the numbers on the dial are ticking, representing the rest of their lives, and no one knows when the hands will return to zero.

And just a few minutes ago, most people thought that this would be a relaxing and enjoyable experience trip, with Simon leading the team, it didn't matter who the opponent was, but no one expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse in an instant.

They will face an invisible and deadly enemy. In this case, no matter how powerful Simon is, there is no way to deal with such an enemy. As a result, the player squad no longer had the same relaxed and happy atmosphere as before, but even if the morale was low, the players still accepted the reality in the shortest possible time.

Zhang Heng asked the doctor, "Is there any way to prolong our survival time?" ”

"I will explain our current situation in as simple language as possible, the nuclear radiation produced in the nuclear fission reaction, or more precisely, ionizing radiation, includes all kinds of rays, such as α rays, β rays, γ rays, X-rays, and neutrons, etc., these rays can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the high-speed particle flow dominated by α rays, β rays, neutrons, and the other is high-energy electromagnetic waves such as X-rays and γ rays."

The doctor sped up his speech, "Whether it is a high-speed particle flow or a high-energy electromagnetic wave, the most fundamental cause of all the harm to the human body is the transfer of energy. Matter is made of atoms, our body is no exception, the energy carried by high-energy electromagnetism, after entering the body, will be absorbed by atoms, and then released in the form of kinetic energy, thereby destroying the structure of molecules, and high-speed particle flow is even more powerful, because there is mass can directly break the molecular bonds.

"It's okay to say that the stratum corneum and proteins can be gradually restored even if they are destroyed, but the most terrible thing is that the DNA is destroyed, because the genetic information carried on it guides all the cellular activities of the human body, and if the DNA is destroyed, our cells will not work properly. Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, we can't do anything about this kind of molecular damage, so the treatment in the hospital can only help you delay some of the pain at most, or prolong your life through instruments and equipment, but ......"

"But what?"

"There is nothing we can do about external exposure, we can only try to avoid those places with high radiation values, but internal radiation can still find a way to reduce it, the metallic smell we taste now comes from iodine-131, iodine-131 will enter our body through breathing and food, and eventually accumulate in large quantities in the thyroid gland, in order to solve this problem we can inject some iodine in advance." The doctor said, "It's like you going to a restaurant to eat and occupying the table first, so then I suggest that we go to the hospital first and find some iodine tablets to take, which should be somewhat useful." ”
