Chapter 3 High-Energy Radiation (Revised) I

After a ten-hour flight, the plane finally arrived at Kyiv International Airport.

Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is a city with a rich cultural heritage.

This was once the origin of the entire East Slavic peoples (including Tsarist Russia).

All kinds of Uklam girls with slender figures, beautiful faces, exquisite dresses and elegant temperaments can be seen everywhere, becoming a beautiful scenery on the streets of Kiev.

And Meng Lang will also take the first step of his own evolution here!

He walked out of the airport with his luggage in his hand, got into a taxi parked in the hospitality area, and after telling the driver to go to the hotel, he leaned back on the back seat and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Friends who have taken long-distance transportation know that although it is just sitting, it is very tiring.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the hotel that had been booked in China, Meng Lang communicated with a blonde girl at the front desk of the hotel and stayed in the hotel smoothly.

Although he does not speak Ukrainian or Russian, thanks to the development of technology in today's era, there is an online voice translator on his mobile phone.

Coupled with the fact that he can speak some simple English vocabulary himself, supplemented by gestures, there is basically no problem in communicating in a foreign country.

Originally, Meng Lang planned to ask for an accompanying translator in order to save trouble, but considering that this trip was still more secretive, after all, the next action was so sneaky!

It was late at night when the plane arrived in Uktar, and he planned to rest at the hotel first, and then rent a car at a local car rental agency at noon tomorrow to facilitate the rest of the trip.

And the things I bought online on Amazon will arrive tomorrow.

Time flew by, and the next morning was in the blink of an eye. As soon as Meng Lang got up, he received a call from the hotel service front desk, saying that there was a mailed package that he needed to sign for.

After a brief wash, I went down to the lobby of the hotel and saw a black guy in FedEx overalls waiting in the lobby.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the package, he signed for it happily!

Then I entrusted the hotel front desk to keep it on my behalf, agreed on the time to come back to pick up the package in the evening, and walked out of the hotel door.

A cold wind blew, Meng Lang couldn't help but tighten the down jacket on his body, although it was already spring in March at this time, and the temperature was gradually warming, but Wukelan, which is located in the southern part of the Eastern European Plain, was still relatively cold.

I stopped a rough car parked on the side of the road and went straight to the place where I rented a car.

In terms of choosing a model, Meng Lang thought about it, and finally chose an off-road vehicle made in the island, putting aside national feelings, the devil's car is still impeccable in terms of stable performance.

Because of his visa, he doesn't have much time to stay in this country, and he doesn't want to waste his time on such trivial things as repairing cars!

After completing the procedures for renting a car, stop by the gas station on the way back to the hotel to fill up the fuel tank of the SUV.

After returning to the hotel and taking out the stored package and moving it to the car, Meng Lang returned to the room and took out the ancient books of Qingchengzi from his backpack and looked at them.

In fact, since he got the book at auction, he has read the thin ten pages countless times from beginning to end, and has also consulted a lot of relevant materials.

A clear idea had already been formed in his mind: Qingchengzi obtained the Yuan Stone (uranium ore), and then used the energy (radiation) in the Yuan Stone for cultivation.

His eyes were exposed to a long period of radiation resulting in genetic mutations, and he finally had the ability to see inside!

This is a living example of a five-legged frog and a mutated giant rat in a modern nuclear leak zone!

It's just that Qingchengzi is lucky, he didn't grow malignant tumors, and he didn't cause cancer, his mutation is benign!

There are two sides to everything in the world, there is no absolute good and bad, a knife can kill people or save people, and the same is true for nuclear radiation!

As for why in so many radiation disasters in global history, some people in the world have been irradiated, but only Qingchengzi is a special case?

Meng Lang believes that the main difference between them and Qingchengzi is active and passive.

In disasters such as the atomic bomb explosion and the nuclear leakage of a nuclear power plant, they were unknowingly destroyed by the instantaneous burst of high-intensity ionizing radiation that instantly destroyed the molecular structure in the body, and the radiation directly hit the chromosomal DNA in the human cells, wantonly destroying the body, causing great damage!

And the radiation intensity suffered by Qingchengzi is far less than the former, and it is an active mutation with conscious cooperation, which is much stronger than passively receiving radiation and handing over the body to random selection!

Don't underestimate the ability of human consciousness, what is consciousness? No one can tell, it is mysterious and abstract, but it is real!

It can make a mother burst out with incredible power to lift a car and rescue her son who is crushed under the wheels!

The distance that everyone on the flat ground can easily cross in one step, when this height is raised to the height of a twenty-story building, but few people dare to take that step, which is also a psychological consciousness is at fault!

There is no clear and unified answer to consciousness in the scientific community, which comes from the brain, which can be said to be one of the most complex systems in nature and even in the entire universe. So you can think of consciousness as a very mysterious existence!

Moreover, during these radiation disasters, people are often quickly evacuated from the radiation area, and Qingchengzi is exposed to relatively regular and long-term radiation.

It's like cooking a pot of rice under rice, and you pull out the power halfway through cooking, and the rice in the pot will naturally not be edible at this time, and it will become rancid after a long time!

There is another possibility that Qingchengzi is sensitive to radiation, perhaps it is precisely because of this special constitution that he resisted the negative damage of radiation, and embarked on the correct path of evolution in a daze, thus evolving the power of inner vision.

In nature, all things are mutually reinforcing, and the so-called brine point tofu, one thing descends one thing, which is exactly this truth!

No matter what the reason is, Meng Lang thinks that since he and Qingchengzi have the same physique, what Qingchengzi can do, he should also be able to!

The human body is composed of organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, etc., and these organs include hair, bones, muscles, nails, etc., which are all composed of small cells!

Therefore, it can be said that the human body is actually a collection of various cells!

These cells come in a wide variety of sizes, sizes, and shapes, and each of these cells performs its own role in the body to maintain every human heartbeat and breath.

What would happen if these cells in the human body were hit head-on by high-energy radiation from the nuclear leak zone?

These high-energy radiation particles will instantly penetrate through the human body like an invisible sharp knife.

It won't stop until it has exhausted its energy or completely penetrated its body!

Although most impacts are harmless, one or two hits to the chromosomes in the nucleus can cut DNA in two!

The genetic chain is instantly cut to pieces, and the damaged DNA chromosomes cannot be rearranged.

Some of them are broken, and some of them are glued together indiscriminately with other DNA, resulting in serious malformations and mutations in the gene chain in the human body!

These people who were hit by nuclear radiation died on the spot, and at least induced genetic mutations that produced various deadly cell lesions such as tumors and cancers.

These high-energy ray particles come and go like ghosts, and they don't come and go, and they can't be felt.

No wonder someone once said that in front of humans, particles are no different from ghosts!

It may sound scary, but radiation is everywhere in our lives!

From cosmic rays across galaxies to marble floor tiles at home; From the X-ray machine in the hospital to the ultraviolet rays in the sun; From cell phones, microwave ovens, and computers to televisions, radio towers, and more.

In fact, we humans live in a world full of radiation of all kinds.

But because the energy level of these radiations is low, it is not enough to change the chemical properties of the substance to cause genetic mutations, so it will not cause harm to the human body!

The reason why Meng Lang came to Wukelan was to use the nuclear radiation that has been talked about so far from the nuclear power plant to cultivate, and to re-follow the path of the Qingchengzi of the past, so as to achieve the goal of independent evolution!

120 kilometers north of Kyiv is the world-famous Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but it's a bad name.

More than 30 years ago, the No. 4 nuclear reactor of the nuclear power plant suddenly caught fire during a semi-baking experiment due to a violation of rules and regulations by the operators, causing an explosion.

Its radiation dose is equivalent to 400 times that of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on an island nation!

As a result of the explosion, the unit was completely damaged, more than 8 tons of strong radioactive material was leaked, dust drifted away with the wind, and more than 8 million hectares of land became a radioactive dust landing area.

As a result, a radius of 30 kilometers around the nuclear power plant has been set up as a quarantine zone, and no one wants to approach it so far!

Early the next morning, Meng Lang drove to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant isolation area, and after more than an hour, he finally came to the periphery of the isolation area.

Although he couldn't read Russian, the warning signs with black skulls and red crosses kept appearing along the way to remind him that there was a nuclear radiation zone ahead!

There weren't any guards to watch, but it made sense to think about it.

After the radiation disaster of that year, there were so many deaths, lesions, and cancerous examples, coupled with the hype of the local government, every grass and tree, and even a grain of sand in the quarantine area carried strong radiation!

People talk about the tiger and avoid it, I'm afraid that as long as the mind is normal, they won't come to this place to hang out, and it is reasonable that there are no guards, because there is no need at all!

After stopping the car, Meng Lang took out the radiation isolation suit he had bought online from the package in the trunk.

After getting dressed, he restarted the SUV, took a deep breath, calmed down his slightly excited mood, and drove slowly into the quarantine area.

At the moment when he was about to enter, he suddenly thought of the famous quote of Armstrong, the first man to land on the moon: This is a small step for me, but a giant leap for mankind!
