Koonwitz now feels physically and mentally exhausted.

The first group of experts were almost always woken up by phone calls before dawn, and then hurriedly dressed and rushed to the airport to assemble, studying the reports submitted by Bryukhanov and Fomin on the way, and discussing how to restore power to the nuclear power plant as soon as possible.

However, when they arrived at the scene of the explosion, they realized that the problem was far more serious than they imagined, and the previous plans were all based on the safety of the reactor, but now they are all useless, so they have to collect information while looking for new solutions.

Experts had been arguing for a long time about how to extinguish the fire inside the reactor before Shcherbina arrived, and then when Shcherbina arrived in a helicopter to inspect the reactor, they returned to the DW office to continue the debate.

Water is the most commonly used fire-extinguishing material, but instead of extinguishing the flames of nuclear energy, it will accelerate the pollution of the surrounding area after evaporation, and finally the scientists decided to use sand to extinguish the fire, but how to put sand into the reactor is also a troublesome problem, and it was not until about three o'clock in the morning that Shcherbina called the air general of the Kyiv district, from whom he borrowed pilots and helicopters who could carry out the mission.

Due to lack of manpower, some people had to stay behind to help load the sand, including a few deputy ministers, but Koonwitz was lucky, he was given a few hours of rest and dragged his tired body back to the hotel.

When he used the key to unlock the door, he didn't even have the strength to brush his teeth and wash up, so he just wanted to collapse on the bed and sleep with his head covered.

However, the next moment, something cold hit the skin of his throat, which made him shiver, and the whole person was a little more sober.

Then Koonwitz heard the door close behind him, and after about half a second, the light in his room came on, and Koonwitz saw a woman sitting on the sofa.

"Hello Deputy Director."

"Who are you and why are you in our room?" Koonwitz asked in a trembling voice.

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that we don't mean anything to you." Besonova said that she was now wearing a gas mask on her face, so that Koonwitz could not see her face.

This is actually to protect Bessonova, after all, the players will leave here after the mission is completed, so naturally it doesn't matter if anyone will be worried about it, but Besonova herself is the person of this copy, if her identity is revealed, with Koonwitz's energy, it will not be difficult to deal with her.

And Besonova obviously understands this, so when she heard that Zhang Heng asked her to wear a mask, she was still very grateful, and with the experience of the previous few times, she is now more and more comfortable with this kind of thing.

At least for now, in Koonwitz's mind, he would never believe that the woman in his room was just a nurse.

"Then why did you sneak into my room?"

Koonwitz didn't seem to believe Besonova's statement that she didn't have malicious intent, especially considering that Zhang Heng's knife was still on his throat.

"We just wanted to ask you for a small favor." Besonova said.

"Do you want money, I'm in a hurry to go out this time, and I only brought about less than a hundred roubles, if it's not enough, you can take my watch too." Koonwitz said as he unfastened the watch on his wrist.

"No, you can keep the watch, we just wanted to ask you a few questions, related to Chernobyl."

Hearing the name, Koonwitz's body trembled slightly, "Chernobyl? Who the hell are you and why do you care about Chernobyl. ”

"You just need to answer our questions truthfully, we have the same purpose as you, we are all to find out about this accident." Besonova said.

After a pause, she continued, "You are the deputy director in charge of nuclear power plant safety affairs at the Institute of Hydropower Engineering, and as far as I know, the Institute of Hydropower Engineering is responsible for the overall design of nuclear power plants. ”

"That's right." These things are not very secret, so Koonwitz did not deny it.

"So you did the design of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant?"

"Well, yes, but strictly speaking, this design was made before I became the director of the nuclear power plant design department," Koonwitz wiped the sweat from his forehead, "and I was still working on hydropower design at the time." ”

"So as far as you know, are there any omissions in this design?" Besonova continued.

"Omission? Oh, of course, but it's inevitable, I mean, design is one thing, it's another thing when the nuclear power plant is actually running, we're a little bit behind in the disposal of radioactive waste, and now it's a little bit densely buried, not separated......"

"Mr. Deputy Director, I am not asking such a small question, but a design flaw that could cause an explosion at a nuclear power plant." Besonova interrupted Koonwitz.

"A defect that can cause a reactor to explode?" Koonwitz's mouth opened wide, and he could see that his surprise was not disguised, "Do you think that the explosion of the Cherno-4 reactor this time was due to a design flaw?" ”

After a while, Mr. Deputy Director squeezed out six words from his mouth, "This is ridiculous!" ”

"How could it be a design problem that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was built in 1970 and commissioned in 1977, and it has been safe and sound until then? It must have been the staff on duty at the nuclear power plant that night who did not follow the safety manual, not only did I think so, but the rest of the team also thought so, but unfortunately we heard that they were very exposed to radiation, and we couldn't ask them face-to-face. ”

Seeing that Besonova seemed a little unconvinced, Koonwitz added, "I know what you're thinking, but I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility, RMBK reactors are all over the place, you can look around, and they've been running well." ”

Besonova was noncommittal, and then asked, "Who is the designer?" ”

"What?"

"What kind of RMBK reactor did you just mention, and who designed it?"

"It's Academician Dorezali."

"Dorezali? Where can we find him? Moscow? ”

Koonwitz had a strange expression on his face when he heard this.

"In 1947, Academician Dorezali led the design of the RMBK reactor, and then the first nuclear power plant was built, but now ...... He's no longer there. ”
