Chapter 44: One Hundred Secrets
The Palofodi Nuclear Power Plant is located in Wintersburg, Arizona, about 54 km from Phoenix, the capital of the state. There are 241 fuel assemblies in the reactor of the www.biquge.info nuclear power plant, each of which is composed of 236 nuclear fuel rods with a diameter of 1 cm, a length of about 4 meters, and a thickness of about 1 mm, and each nuclear fuel rod is filled with uranium dioxide porcelain sheets with a diameter of 1 cm and a height of 1 cm.
In order to guarantee the uninterrupted output of power in nuclear power plants, nuclear power plants have to replace a set of fuel assemblies almost every day. Tang Xuan could follow the special car into the nuclear power plant, and then sneak into the reactor compartment where there would be absolutely no people. Due to the nuclear radiation in the reactor compartment, all camera surveillance equipment currently does not work properly in this compartment. Therefore, when the nuclear power plant replaced the fuel assembly, it was Tang Xuan's best chance to steal the fuel rods.
Route 54 is the only link between the Palofodi Nuclear Power Plant and the city of Wintersburg. Due to the particularity of nuclear fuel, in order to ensure the safety and controllability of nuclear fuel, there will be a radiation protection vehicle transporting nuclear fuel assemblies every morning to transport new fuel assemblies that need to be replaced that day, and transport away the replaced waste components.
Tang Xuan was already lying peacefully on the roof of the transport car at this time: "So just open the radiation-proof lead box on the back of the power exoskeleton and put the fuel rods in, right?" ”
"Yes, young master, the reactor's crane will place the new fuel group on the fixed rack, and then lift the discarded fuel group and put it on the fixed frame as well. During this time, the young master can steal a lot of fuel rods. After that, the crane will put the fuel group into the reactor, and the discarded fuel group will be brought out and put on the transport truck, and the young master can evacuate with him. I'll assist you remotely. Everything goes according to plan! Jana responded.
Tang Xuan took a breath: "Very good, look at mine." ”
About an hour later, the car passed through the gate of the nuclear power plant and drove towards the reactor unit. After a set of procedures and inspections, the circular lead isolation door on the reactor skylight opened, and the huge overhead crane slowly drove out of the lead isolation door.
The fuel assembly was housed in a radiation-proof tank at the rear of the transporter. The huge overhead crane lifted the fuel assemblies in the radiation tank into the air and slowly moved towards the lead isolation door. Tang Xuan, who was hugging the fuel assembly tightly, was lifted up together: "Jia Na, I'm going in." ”
"Understood, young master. As a general procedure, the crane first lifts the spent fuel rods from the reactor. There is absolutely time to get the full heart of the fuel rods. Because the reactor is completely radiation-proof, and Jiana's contact signal cannot penetrate it, the young master is careful. In addition, if the young master does not come out safely after fifteen minutes, Jia Na will invade the control center of the nuclear power plant to assist the young master in his actions. ”
"Good. The overhead crane has already begun to descend. We'll talk when I get the fuel rods. ”
"Young master, be careful!"
At the same time, the staff of the nuclear power plant saw an unbelievable scene in the thermal imaging monitor: a part of the new fuel assembly showed a thermal reaction, which immediately made the nerves of the staff nervous.
The main function of the thermal imaging monitor is to monitor the surface temperature of the old waste fuel pack as the crane lifts it. Since the surface of the fuel group is made of metal zirconium, at high temperatures, metal zirconium and cooling water will spontaneously form chemical reactions to produce hydrogen and oxygen, and high temperature, hydrogen and oxygen constitute all the elements of the explosion. To prevent an explosion from occurring, the nuclear power plant monitors the temperature of the old fuel pack.
So when Tang Xuan jumped down from the new fuel group and used the cutter on the power exoskeleton to prepare to cut through the new fuel group. The monitor of the nuclear power plant has clearly shown the thermal imaging outline of a human figure, and the monitoring personnel suddenly became excited: "Report it immediately!" We've found him! ”
Tang Xuan, who was isolated from the world, had already made a cut from the bottom of the fuel group, and put the nuclear fuel rods one by one into the lead isolation box on the back of the power exoskeleton from the notch. The crane is removing the discarded fuel pack from the reactor, stealing as many fuel rods as possible before the crane lifts up the new fuel pack, so that Jana can get more energy to repair her power core.
The overhead crane has placed the spent fuel rods on the ground and lifted the new nuclear fuel rods into the reactor. Tang Xuan hugged the old fuel rod tightly and rose up with the ladder, but the lead isolation door on the reactor skylight did not open for half a day.
"Jana? What's wrong? Why not open the door? After subconsciously saying this, Tang Xuan realized that Jia Na couldn't contact him at this time. Tang Xuan, who was hugging the old fuel group, sighed, and could only wait quietly for a while.
In the outside world, a special operations team in Meiguo has surrounded the nuclear reactor. The team leader said to the staff in the monitoring room: "We have everything ready, now open the skylight and let that fly out and shoot him to death!" ”
The skylight hadn't been opened for a long time, and Tang Xuan had already smelled a trace of an abnormal smell, but he never thought that he was exposed. When the lead isolation skylight opened, Tang Xuan immediately activated the rocket propulsion system - as long as he flew away from the nuclear power plant, the operation would end perfectly!
The leader of the special operations team shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Release!" ”
The moment Tang Xuan flew out of the isolation skylight, a huge skynet fell from the sky, and the entangled skynet wrapped Tang Xuan's whole person. Although the holograms of the powered exoskeleton are still working normally, and some parts of Skynet seem to merge with the sky, there are still several heavy shot put balls hanging from the tails of the four corners of Skynet!
"Made! Morgana! What's going on? I want to be discovered! Tang Xuan quickly fled in the sky while dragging Skynet and shouted at Jia Na.
But Jia Na didn't respond - the Skynet of special materials had blocked the signal, and Tang Xuan, who was wrapped in it, was no longer able to get in touch with the outside world.
"Quick! Launch the missile! Aim for Skynet's flight path and knock him down for me! As soon as the special operations captain gave an order, more than a dozen missiles whizzed into the air and roared towards Tang Xuan!
Tang Xuan's afterglow caught a glimpse of the missile's smoke tail as it lifted into the air, and immediately raised the power of the rocket thruster to the maximum. But the speed of the powered exoskeleton was far less than the speed of the missile, and Tang Xuan could only dodge left and right in the sky - fortunately, the powered exoskeleton was much more flexible than those missiles, otherwise Tang Xuan would probably have been blown up into human flesh at this moment.
Unable to contact Jia Na, Tang Xuan can only rely on himself now. With the rapid decline of the energy of the power exoskeleton, Tang Xuan realized that he had to get rid of the Skynet marked with his position - after all, there were still four heavy lead balls hanging on the Skynet, and flying with them would consume a lot of energy!
"Inform the Air Force to send fighter planes to intercept it immediately! I don't believe he can leave the airspace of Meiguo with four shot put! I must knock him down in the airspace of Meiguo! The special operations team shouted as they looked at Skynet, which had dodged the missiles and flew farther and farther away.
And in the Meiguo Baigong, James Field is reporting to Assorted about the discovery of the legendary "Iron Man" at the nuclear power plant.
Assorted said to James Field: "Good, must eliminate him at all costs." ”
"Mr. President, why do we have to eliminate him?" James Field said, "There is no doubt that the alien fighters of China have been destroyed. So I don't think he has anything to do with Huaguo, and a hero who saved a plane crashed and was thrown off a roller coaster at the playground, we probably shouldn't do this to him. ”
Assorted spread his hands: "I understand." But the key question is not whether he has anything to do with Huaguo, the key question is precisely because he is a big hero of Meiguo. You must know that the savior hero is only suitable and can only exist in Meiguo blockbusters. In addition to uniting the people of Meiguo, it is also possible to carry out cultural aggression against other countries. ”
"However, the people of Meiguo only need a stable and happy Meiguo government. The people of Meiguo do not need a hero who will respond to the call of 10,000 people. You know what I mean? General James? ”
James Field nodded in realization: "I see what you mean." ”
And Brennan, at the CIA headquarters, also closely followed the life and death of "Iron Man". Iron Man saved a passenger plane from Hua Guo, and Iron Man was found at the nuclear power plant. Brennan has reason to believe that the Iron Man came to Mei from China and tried to blow up the nuclear power plant in retaliation. The more Brennan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, if Iron Man came to find trouble for him again, how many lives would he have to give him back? So, this time, no matter who Iron Man really is, but he must die!
Tang Xuan was flying fast, although he dodged the missile attack, but soon a group of fighters followed. Tang Xuan wanted to tear the Skynet apart, but Tang Xuan, who needed to maintain a stable flight attitude, had no way to tear the Skynet with his hands: as long as his body moved, it would fly out of control curves, and it would not be fun to plunge headlong into the missile.
But if you keep maintaining a flying attitude and don't get rid of Skynet, I'm afraid the energy of the powered exoskeleton won't last long! Seeing the rapid decline of the energy indicator, Tang Xuan could only turn off the hologram to save energy to supply to the flight system.
"Keep tracking! He's already manifested, and it seems that his motivation has been almost exhausted! Try not to blow him up, we need armor on him! The Operator Captain roared over the radio.
