Chapter 34 Reactors

A slum five kilometers southwest of Giza, Egypt, was hit by the wreckage of a spacecraft, killing 10 people and injuring 30 others. Military vehicles drove in and transported all the wreckage to the Egyptian military for a later accident investigation.

Wu Fan, who had arrived in Cairo on the eve of the search and rescue team's arrival, was in charge of all the follow-up and cooperation of the incident, but his actions were kept secret, and he lived in a two-story attic on the Nile River, with a huge balcony on which he could see the boats coming and going on the Nile, as well as the merchants and camels passing by the river. Wu Liang was wearing a pair of dark sunglasses, sitting in the corner of the balcony, steaming hot from his teacup...

"Pan, I have two pieces of news for you, one good news and one bad news." Wu Fan dialed Pan Liang's satellite phone

"First of all, the bad news is that one of the clones' spaceships has fallen!"

"What? The clone's spaceship was shot down? How is this possible?! Pan Liang received the latest news on the other end of the phone in Beijing

"Yes, Pansuo, the Egyptian military has confirmed it! Everything is true. ”

"What the hell is this kidding?!" Pan Liang was still skeptical

"And our people are in there?"

"If they're in there, our mission will be a complete failure!!" Pan Liang almost threw the phone out at this moment

"Pan Suo, don't get angry yet, I have good news here!" Wu Fan said

"According to credible signals, other clones and search and rescue teams have entered the gate of time. In other words, Liu Fei didn't come out, and he shouldn't be in the spaceship. ”

"I've already received a signal from the search and rescue team, if Liu Fei didn't come out of the gate of time, then how could their spaceship take off?" Pan Liang questioned

"Maybe there's someone up there? Or... All this will have to wait for the investigation to be confirmed! ”

"Wu Fan, please be sure to follow up on this incident, if Liu Fei doesn't return for a day, you will be waiting in front of you to give you the latest situation!"

"Pan Suo, Liu Fei and I have been colleagues and buddies for many years, and I have been thinking about him if he doesn't come back, don't worry, I will do my best for this mission!" Wu Fan replied

"Good! Go all out! “

Wu Fan came to Egypt for a few days, he found that the number of dreams he dreamed a lot less, his mind became clearer and clearer, he usually did some math problems on the notepad in his spare time, these days he found that his calculation speed is getting faster and faster, as if there is divine help, this point, Wu Fan is very clear.

A van with an E562 crew member stopped next to an abandoned nuclear reactor waste bin in Pripyat, Kyiv. Five men in biochemical suits lifted the box containing the crew to the side, looked at the radiation index and nodded in mutual acknowledgment, before moving the box from the outside to the inside with a small machine transport device......

This is the first official nuclear waste landfill box since the nuclear plant explosion, and the waste landfill disposal box failed to test the desired results after hundreds of workers were sacrificed to build the project.

The crate was slowly dragged and dropped by the machine into the center of an abandoned burial core, which was lifeless, the sun shining through the broken roof, and the dry and cracked ground reflected some of the luster, this was once the center of the Grim Reaper, and the radiation radiating from here took countless lives, and the dark black wall made of special steel plates was high on the side, and the steel plates were full of corrosion marks, which looked like the last shackles of the Grim Reaper, like its paw prints trying to escape.

"Ready to run at the scheduled time." The voice of X appeared inside the intercom

"Okay, you're all set."

"The detectors are all normal, and the radiation values have peaked! The test box # has been shipped to the specified coordinates. ”

"Wait for the right time, let's go"

"Roger!"

The five people immediately drove the car 15 kilometers away from the reactive garbage disposal tank and started the operation.

At this moment, the crew of E562 is all condensed into a shrunken box and asleep. The machine conveyor protrudes from each side with 3 brackets to support the box 1 meter above the ground, and the box is suspended in the air. The miniature reactor inside the box began to rotate, and a huge fireball instantly appeared in mid-air in the nuclear garbage bin, and the fireball began to grow larger and larger, and the surrounding nuclear waste residue began to fly from all directions to the fire like magnets, and the core of the fireball was the test box.

"The tests are working fine, and the reactor is gradually absorbing that waste. The energy of the box is picking up. The strong man in the biochemical suit said as he looked at the test instrument in the car

"Very well, according to the original plan, the reactor energy will be activated at 15 o'clock." X said

"Okay"

At this moment, the display shows that the energy of the reactor is rising as the fireball increases...

Expander 1 continued to adjust its orbit towards Jupiter after passing through a meteorite swarm caused by a solar storm. At a distance of only 5,000 kilometers from Mercury, the backup probe suddenly received a faint signal from Europa, which was intermittent and vaguely able to piece together the exact range of coordinates of the signal, as well as some machine-recorded images and sounds.

"What did you get?" The head of the space agency asked

"Now that the orbit of the Expander 1 Supply Detector spacecraft has been fully adjusted, everything is running normally, and the speed of new fuel is more stable and faster than before. Now a signal from Europa has been received, and the image has been completely lost, except for some muffled sounds," the staff member said, turning on the signal

The big screen was black, and there were some interference-like patterns in the picture, intermittently, mixed with the sound of the machine's work and some sounds similar to water, and this signal lasted for half an hour.

"Analyze the whole range of this signal, and you can't miss a single detail! Find the exact coordinates so that the resupply detector can dock smoothly. The director said

"Director, if we don't make an accounting error, the sound should be the sound of the liquid water column coming back from before, and this continuous sound overlaps with the sound of the water column coming back, but ......" the staff member continued

"But, judging by the analysis of this staccato sound, the interval between these breaks is completely regular, guess what?"

"Eighty percent of this interval is the same frequency wave we received in the Red Sea, which means that except for the solar storm, it cannot be ruled out that this band is causing signal interference to Europa's detectors...", the staff member said, pointing to the amplified signal wave comparison chart on the screen

Pan Liang didn't say a word and fell into deep thought......
