Chapter 503: A Reactor Is Like a Furnace
The conversation with Gatlov lasted about half an hour.
Besonova had done her best, not only to convey Dyatrov's words to Coconut, but also to ask Dyathrov questions received from Coconut, so she was tired enough to choke on this trip, especially when she heard a lot of technical terms, but in order to play her current role well, she had to make a look of knowing everything.
However, she also took this opportunity to learn about the principle of power generation in nuclear power plants, and some related knowledge.
As a person living in Pripyat, Besonova of course knew that the existence of the city was inseparable from the nuclear power plant three kilometers away, after all, the first residents settled here were mainly construction workers and workers of the nuclear power plant, and their lives revolved around the construction and operation of the nuclear power plant, and everyone has long been accustomed to the existence of the nuclear power plant.
On the safety of nuclear power plants, Vice Chairman of the National Commission on the Utilization of Nuclear Energy. That's what Signev said.
- The reactor is like a furnace, and the reactor operator is like a stoker.
Therefore, in the understanding of Besonova and the vast majority of ordinary people, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is a large furnace, not much different from other thermal power plants.
Both the Eastern and Western worlds have been exploring and using nuclear energy for decades, and the technology is becoming more and more mature, except for the unfortunate nuclear accident that occurred not long ago in Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania, USA, nuclear power plants are indeed safe most of the time, especially in SL itself, Besonova has hardly seen much of the report of nuclear power plant accidents before.
The construction of nuclear power plants has been steadily advancing, and the completion of those nuclear power plants has indeed greatly alleviated the shortage of electricity in various parts of SL, and Besonova, like other SL people, is proud of the achievements of her country in the use of nuclear energy.
But after listening to Dyatlov's answer to the panel, Besonova realized that the nuclear power plant did not seem to be as safe as she had always thought, at least the reactor in Chernobe was not the same as the boiler, and although the steam turbines that generate electricity are powered by steam, this may be the only thing the two have in common.
Fortunately, according to Gatlov, although the nuclear accident looked quite serious, the final result was not so bad, a water tank was blown up, the roof was destroyed, and there was a radiation leak at the site, but the dose was not large, and it was basically controlled.
However, players have repeatedly asked if the Gatlov reactor is really as intact as he says, and Besonova has a hint of something unusual.
…………
After questioning Dhatlov, the crowd did not immediately go to Asimov and Toptunov, but exchanged views first, and most importantly let the coconut take a breather, the latter had already taken off his mask and vomited in his trash can.
"What do you think?" The doctor asked.
Of course, what do you think of this, he is not asking Zhang Heng what he thinks of the real situation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant now, because all the people from thirty years later know that the bombing in the early morning of April 26 was a reactor and not some bullshit tank, not to mention that they were at the scene at the time, witnessed this tragic scene with their own eyes, and suffered enough lethal radiation, the coconut hand just scratched a little skin, and now it has not completely stopped the bleeding, and the situation looks worse and worse.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Dhatlov lied, that's for sure, but for the time being, I don't know which parts of his narrative are true and which are fabricated, let the coconut rest for a while, and then we will talk to Akimov and Toptunov again, and get the testimony of the two of them, and we can compare them with each other." ”
It's a pity that the [Oath Ring] is now used on Besonova, and Zhang Heng can only lie on the interlocutor by observing and comparing.
After a pause, he continued, "We do have an advantage in investigating Chernobyl, because compared to the current people, we already know the results in advance, and there are many analyses and speculations in later generations, but there are also disadvantages on our side, and the biggest difficulty is that none of us are experts in nuclear physics and designers of nuclear power plants.
"I also listened carefully to Gatlov's introduction just now, including the working principle of the graphite-moderated boiling water reactor, as well as this safety experiment, although I have a general understanding of what they are doing, but this knowledge is far from enough for us to figure out what happened in the reactor at that time, and what the Chernobyl accident was."
Coconut was almost vomiting at this time, raised his head and said, "We've talked to Gatlov, but I haven't received any system prompts, what about you?" ”
"Neither do I." The doctor shook his head.
"Does that mean we can exclude Gatlov?" Coconut asked, "At least it shows that he is not the main person responsible for this accident, although I don't like him very much, this bastard always takes himself out of the middle intentionally or unintentionally in the narrative just now, and he 'happens' not to be on the scene at several key points in time, whether it is when the reactor power drops rapidly, or when he presses the emergency power reduction button later, he is either outside inspecting the work, or just looking at the dashboard, but anyway, the system does not react after talking to him." ”
"It's hard to say right now," the doctor frowned, "the description of the main quest this time is exceptionally simple, only one sentence - find the key person, but whether it is 'find' or 'key person', there are actually many definitions, especially 'find', if it refers to our investigation to confirm the main person responsible, then the conversation just now is obviously not enough to do this, because according to Dytlov's own account, his responsibility in the accident is not great." ”
Coconut smashed the locker not far away with his uninjured hand, "Call Akimov and Toptunov." ”
"Are you sure? You've only had less than five minutes of rest, and we still have time. Zhang Heng said.
"No, I'm fine."
"Well, if you really can't hold it anymore, we can also interrupt the questioning for a while." The doctor said, after which he gestured to Besonova and told him to call the next person in.
Besonova's eyes flashed with a look of worry, she didn't know what the players were talking about, but she could also see that the first conversation did not meet their expectations, in fact, the female nurse was also a little dazed at this time, from the moment she was kidnapped, she was guessing the identity of Zhang Heng and his party, but she still had no clue.
