Chapter 510: A lifesaver

"Did you tell him the truth about this place? Tell him what exactly the explosion at reactor number four means. Besonova asked,

"Reactor explosion? This can't be, nothing like this has ever happened, and the reactor is not an atomic bomb, how could it explode. Bryukhanov shook his head.

"And how do you explain the graphite fragments on the ground?"

"I don't know, there is still some graphite in stock at the No. 5 reactor under construction, maybe from there." Bryukhanov quibbled.

"Then why did you advise Shcherbina to evacuate the inhabitants of Pripyat?" Besonova said coldly, "Is it because there has been a voice in your heart telling you that it was not the tank but the reactor that exploded, and you don't actually believe your, right?" ”

"I asked Dhatlov and Akimov, the foreman on duty that night, and they told me that the tank had exploded, and the radiation was 3.6 roentgen, and I checked with them again and again, and they were all experienced old engineers in the nuclear power plant, and I needed to trust my subordinates at such times, and then I called Moscow, and the people above told us to continue filling the reactor with water, and we have always done that."

Bryukhanov looked very aggrieved, "I would call Moscow every hour to report the situation of the reactor, and Fomin was also trying to find a way to fill the reactor with water, and then Vorobyov suddenly came to me and told me that the radiation exceeded 250 Roentgen, who do you make me believe?" My subordinates? Or the cold instrument in Vorobyov's hands? If you've been in my business for long enough, you'll know that the machines are going to have a little buggy from time to time, which is why we hire experienced engineers. ”

"Hell experienced engineer!" Besonova resisted the urge to explode, "Didn't you send Anatoly to death after that, isn't he also an experienced engineer, why don't you listen to him?" ”

"I ......" Bryukhanov was speechless.

When Besonova asked, Zhang Heng was also coldly observing Bryukhanov, like Dhatrov and Akimov, Bryukhanov's heart was obviously suffering greatly, his reason had sensed what was happening at the nuclear power plant, but he refused to admit it.

Especially for him to overturn what he had just said a few hours ago in front of his boss, this kind of thing was too difficult for the man in front of him, and he simply didn't have the courage to do so.

The previous nuclear power plant was not without some minor accidents, because it was not too serious, and it was all pressed down by Bryukhanov with his own small means, which made his resume always beautiful, and he has been working hard again in recent times to go further, so this time his heart is more inclined to the words of Dyatlov and Akimov.

He kept reassuring himself in his heart, but the tank exploded, and although he drove around the reactor and saw the tragic situation there, Dhatrov and Akimov's explanation was like a lifeline for him, and once he grabbed it, he couldn't let go of it.

He could only repeat the original lie over and over again until he was completely swallowed by it.

Realizing that the radiation was worse than he had imagined, he finally summoned up the courage to propose to Moscow the evacuation of the inhabitants of Pripyat, which was probably the only useful thing he had done for so long since the explosion.

However, it was ultimately rejected by Shcherbina, and Moscow was unwilling to evacuate the residents of Pripyat in a big way when the reactor was safe and the radiation was controllable, and in Shcherbina's view, this was completely artificially created a nuclear energy panic, and stabbing this knife at a time when SL was vigorously promoting the use of nuclear energy, it is very likely to trigger public resistance to nuclear energy, and the energy plan formulated before may also be shelved for a while.

This is also the reason why Shcherbina categorically rejected Bryukhanov's evacuation proposal, but even after receiving the "beautiful" report submitted by Bryukhanov, Moscow immediately formed an accident investigation committee.

"Ask him about the expert group." Zhang Heng said to the coconut.

"The first group of experts got on the plane at 9 a.m., and I just got the news that they had arrived at the Kyiv airport and were on their way to Chernobyl, led by B.Ya. Plumshins, chief engineer of the Atomic Energy Alliance, in addition to Deputy Chairman Ignatenko, Deputy Director of the Institute of Hydropower Engineering Koonwitz, the reactor designer and the Atomic Energy Research Institute, and a number of other people." Bryukhanov was honest on this issue.

After a pause, he added, "The second team is of a higher rank, with senior assistant prosecutors, the minister of civil defense, the commander of the chemical warfare forces, and several other ministers and academicians, and their planes took off half an hour later, but I got the news that because it was the weekend, it was not easy to contact them, and the departure time might be delayed." It is said that Sherbina will also fly over after dealing with the matter at hand. ”

"And how are you going to explain all this to them?" Besonova sneered.

"Alright." Zhang Heng interrupted Besonova's words, and after realizing that the expert group could arrive here at any time, he did not intend to waste any more time.

Zhang Heng did not forget that their purpose was to investigate the cause of the explosion of the nuclear power plant, and he could understand Bessonova's indignation at Bryukhanov's cover-up, because Bessonova was a resident of Pripyat, living in that beautiful town, where her friends and lovers lived, and now because Bryukhanov refused to believe the truth, these people were exposed to radiation.

However, this is not a concern for players, compared to the huge disaster that Bryukhanov brought to Pripyat and the nuclear power plant workers by whitewashing the Taiping, Zhang Heng is more concerned about what role he played in this explosion.

"Ask him what he knows about this safety experiment." Zhang Heng said to the coconut.

The latter nodded, and after a moment Besonova spoke again.

Bryukhanov hesitated, "The chief engineer of the safety laboratory Fuming designed, I don't really know the specific steps, just a simple understanding of what the experiment is for, we want to simulate the emergency power failure, use the inertia of the steam turbine to power the pump, we have done this safety experiment before, no success, but [new] is not brought any danger, the chief engineer of Fuming feels that the conditions are ripe, so I want to try again, I swear I don't know it will become like this, Otherwise, I would have stopped the experiment before I started. ”
