"We've surrounded the engine room of reactor No. 4," the fastest moving was the Alpha Special Forces of Jeplos, and Victor asked his country's security officer over the intercom, "Do you want to go in now?" ”

"No, wait, don't fire inside. If we break the equipment, we don't have anything to spare. ”

Victor, Alixai and others had already found an angle to shoot, but the pirates were cowering in the engine room and did not come out, and he was ready to lead the team to kill it, but the idea was rejected by his superiors as soon as it was proposed.

"Do they have weapons?" The security forces of the United States and China also came to support, and everyone surrounded the engine room of the No. 4 reactor.

"I don't know, there's a good chance there are no thermal weapons," Victor told his allies what he had observed, and then he proposed, "If we're not going to storm it, we'll need a negotiator." ”

"You need a negotiator," said security chiefs in other countries, who were unopposed to the proposal.

The pirates occupy the engine room where the nuclear reactor is installed, and although they are dock workers in the camp and do not have access to thermal weapons, the engine room is a heavy place, and if they are forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, the damage inside will be great. Therefore, it is the best strategy to arrange for negotiators to play first, on the one hand, to understand the actual situation inside, and on the other hand, to stabilize the pirates first, and then slowly figure it out.

Promoted to the position of negotiator is Yurikov, a psychologist from Jipros. When Longyearbyen planned and set up the camp, he did not expect that there would be a day when negotiators would be needed, and Yurikov's arrival was only due to the psychological discomfort of some of the personnel who had stayed in the polar regions for too long, so he needed to come to this snowfield to do psychological counseling work for them.

"Viktor and Vladimir will escort you into the engine room of reactor No. 4 and keep you safe." The security officer in Gipouls told Yurikov about the mission and told him what to look out for.

Yurikov nodded, he was a little nervous, but as a brilliant psychologist, it only took him a short time to overcome his inner turmoil.

The two military men who were sent by security officials to protect themselves were Gao Mada, both of whom were members of the elite of the Alpha Special Forces. Every country involved in Operation Glacier has sent security forces to Longyearbyen, but only the core of the Gipsy Army, which is part of the Security Service, is the most elite in Longyearbyen, but it is specialized in counter-terrorism activities at home.

"Grant, they're coming," shouted his companion who was watching by the window, unaware that his figure had already fallen into the eyes of the snipers outside, and that if they pulled the trigger lightly, their lives would be gone.

The muzzle of the sniper's gun had locked all the exits from the engine room of reactor No. 4, not even the vents for ventilation.

Grant came to the window and glanced outside, and saw that two of the three men were heavily armed, and motioned for everyone to gather.

When Yurikov arrived at the door of the engine room with Viktor and Vladimir, the two special forces fighters who were escorting him set up bulletproof shields. This is an extremely effective bulletproof piece of equipment that can be used in conjunction with body armor for optimal use.

Yurikov, Viktor and others all changed into body armor in advance, because they were not sure whether the pirates in the engine room were carrying thermal weapons, so everyone was prepared for safety.

Jeepros has always been at the forefront of the world in the research of bulletproof shields, and the pictures of special forces such as Alpha and Vympel training with shields are often shown on television, and as members of the Alpha special forces, Viktor and Vladimir are very handy in using this half-body bulletproof shield.

The two of them covered Yurikov behind them, carefully opened the door of the engine room, and were about to enter when they suddenly heard a shouting voice from inside.

"Stop!"

The three of them stopped, and Victor saw Grant and the others through the perspective of the bulletproof shield.

"Relax, relax, everybody." Yurikov's voice came from behind the shield, and Viktor didn't notice any guns among the people in front of him, he nodded slightly at Yurikov, and Yurikov stepped out from behind the shield.

Viktor and Vladimir were still on his sides, and looked warily at the rest of the room.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Trant shouted at Yurikov.

"I'll come in and talk to you, and I guess you have something you want to talk to me about." Yurikov put his hand in front of him and pressed it downward, signaling that he had no ill intentions.

"You're smart, and I hope you can continue to be smart." Grant pursed his lips and showed the bomb in his hand, "Don't think about anything you shouldn't have, I'll lock the bomb's explosion to 1 second, as long as I press this button, BOOM!" You get the idea. ”

"I promise you that I'm a smart man, or I wouldn't have been sent here," Yurikov was startled by the bomb in the pirate's hand, and he quickly calmed the other side, "This thing in your hand is not fun, especially in this machine room." Put things away, let's have a good talk, you can feel my sincerity, can't you? ”

"Sorry, I don't feel it at the moment." Grant said and reached out and pointed at Victor and Vladimir, "It's a bit of an eyesore for the two of them to stay here, if you don't need them to speak, can you ask them out." ”

"If that's all you have to ask, of course I can accommodate you, but if there's anything else, I'd like to hear more important first." Yurikov brought Grant's mind back to his own rhythm, and the other party asked Viktor and Vladimir to leave, apparently fearing them. If these two Alpha Special Forces fighters are allowed to leave the engine room now, then Grant and the others will face much less pressure, which will not be conducive to the next negotiation work for Yurikov.

"Tell me what you want, and everything can be discussed." Yurikov walked the path of persuasion.

"We killed those Chinese," Grant said.

"The Chinese side has said that it can not be blamed for the past," Yurikov lied, not blinking.

"Trant, I think we can fill our stomachs with something to eat first, and we can't do anything when we're hungry." A companion next to him suggested to Grant.

"Don't interject, Pierce." Grant was unhappy with the sudden interjection of the companion next to him, but he kept his emotions in check, not wanting to show that his side was not united in front of outsiders.

"Want to eat? Yes, of course," Yurikov took his words, "I'll ask Victor to arrange it, the food will be delivered soon, and do you want anything to drink?" ”

Yurikov whispered in Gipsy what Viktor was going out to do, and when he had finished speaking, he looked up and asked, "Do you have anything taboo?" ”

"What did you just tell him?" Turnt asked, pointing at Yurikov.

"It's nothing, I'll ask him to prepare some of the food you want, and if you're not picky eaters, how about preparing it according to the highest standards of food in our camp."

Yurikov didn't say this to discuss with Grant, he was just diverting the other party's attention and quietly signaling Victor to leave the computer room and report the preliminary situation inside to the outside personnel.

"Food will be delivered soon, please wait."

Victor's figure had disappeared in the doorway, and although Grant knew that Yurikov must have had other arrangements for the soldier who had just left, the pirate still had nothing to fear by relying on the bomb in his hand.

Grant and his companions were standing next to the large jar that wrapped the core, although he had never seen a nuclear reactor before, and he didn't know which thing was the most important, but this large jar was the most eye-catching in the entire engine room, so subconsciously he regarded this device as a "hostage" to blackmail the other party.

This large tank is the pressure tank of the reactor, which contains nuclear fuel, control rods, pressure regulating tanks, cooling water pumps and steam generators. Several thick tubes connect it to external gas engines and generators, thus converting it from nuclear to thermal to electrical.

Grant chose just right according to his instincts, and if he chose to be close to the gas engine and generator, he would not be a great threat to the camp. But the pressure trough is different, which is the lifeblood of a nuclear reactor. Reactors with containment are generally safe because they are kept out from radioactive radiation and steam, and their integrity cannot be compromised as long as the pressure and temperature inside the containment are maintained within a reasonable range.

But Grant had a bomb in his hand, which was even more fearful than when he had a gun. After Yurikov asked Viktor to take the situation inside, the top brass of the countries in Longyearbyen's camp focused their attention on the reactor.

"We must stabilize them, as long as the bomb does not explode, any conditions can be negotiated."

With the bottom line quickly discussed by the higher-ups, Victor returned the food to the engine room of the No. 4 reactor.

The fear of the top management is not unreasonable, because if there is an explosion next to the pressure tank of the reactor, the external force will cause damage to the pressure tank and the equipment inside, and the containment vessel can isolate radiation and steam, but it cannot withstand the external force caused by the explosion.

In the event of a breakage of the pressure tank, the function of the containment vessel will also be invalid.

Just over two years ago, in March 2011, an accident occurred in the Fukushima area of Sakura Province due to an abnormal nuclear reactor caused by an external force, and the hydrogen and air leaked into the reactor building reacted and exploded.

The No. 4 nuclear reactor in the camp may be different from the situation in Fukushima, but the consequences of the accident are unacceptable to everyone.
