Chapter 69: Do you want some hydrogen bombs?

At night, the castle tower is on the top floor of the castle in the western district of the city

Looking out of the window, the sky in the middle of the night is full of light, reflecting the stars and the moon. The surface of each cloud was decorated with brilliant fireflies in the sky, flying and surrounding, incomparably gorgeous, forming a kind of brilliant light that is indescribable in words, making the night look extremely terrifying and eerie.

On the tatami mats in the castle tower, a group of travelers from college students to elementary school students, the various members of the "Worry about the Country" and Takashi Komuro, who was designated as a son-in-law by the Takashiro family, led a group of former public servants Miyamoto Police, and representatives elected by the citizens who had taken refuge in Nakaname, were surrounding a sketchy map of Japan's nuclear power plants.

Although at this time, since the Yankees, who tried to drag the whole world to accompany the funeral, took the lead in opening Pandora's box, the major countries of the world have begun to throw nuclear bombs at each other in a frenzy, and by the way, more and more places have become radioactive wasteland. But in fact, even without the explosion of this global nuclear war, the radioactive wasteland of many countries around the world is inevitable: because the nuclear power plants that stand around the city - that is, those oversized "dirty bombs" have already entered the countdown to detonation with the explosion of the zombie crisis

-- Modern society is like an extremely sophisticated machine, as long as one part strikes or destroys, the whole society will immediately become chaotic.

“…… On the first day of the zombie crisis, before the Americans had time to start a nuclear war, the three nuclear power plants on the island had already exploded one by one, and I don't know how the Taiwanese were engaged in crisis management...... In short, the current Taiwan is already miserable, and the vast majority of islanders can only choose one way to die between zombie infection and radiation sickness

Then, after the nuclear war broke out, the nuclear power plants of North Korea, China's Big 6, the United States, and Russia began to detonate one by one and turned into extra-large dirty bombs. Numeritically, it is enough to turn the Eastern European Plain and the Great Plains of North America into a land of death, and it will take at least a century to regain its vitality

In addition, nuclear reactors in India, Pakistan and Iran have also been blown up in the process of dropping nuclear bombs on each other, and at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land have been contaminated. The same is true in Europe, where no country has been spared except Iceland, which is isolated in the Arctic Circle. Especially France, as the world's nuclear power power, not only ate about 50 nuclear bombs, but also exploded at least 60 reactors, and now the radiation intensity in Paris has far exceeded that of Chernobyl back then......

As for the poisonous gas leakage and water pollution caused by the explosion of the pesticide plant, the burning fire caused by the explosion of the oil refinery, the liquefied gas plant and the natural gas company, and the smallpox caused by the leakage of the biological chamber...... Such a trivial thing is now completely unmentionable

The small countries that don't have nuclear bombs are busy dropping anthrax and gas bombs on each other, as well as poisoning water sources upstream...... All human beings have exhausted their ingenuity, racking their brains, or rather madness, to kill their kind......"

Like a sudden storm, Wang Qiu threw a string of bad news to everyone with one mouth, "...... Of course, the situation in Japan is not much better, first of all, a real nuclear reactor at the University of Tokyo, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to the west, has been blown up in a nuclear bomb attack, spilling radioactive materials throughout the 23rd ward of Tokyo. Then in Ibaraki Prefecture to the north, the Tokai Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which has been shut down but has not yet been dismantled, is also beginning to leak from its outdated technology and aging facilities...... At present, the city of Bed is surrounded by nuclear contamination areas

But that's not the most dangerous thing - the bigger trouble is that there are about 60 other openly electric nuclear reactors on Japanese soil, from Hokkaido to Kagoshima, as well as an unknown number of secret nuclear test facilities, and several nuclear waste disposal plants of considerable size...... How long do you think these nuclear facilities can hold out uneventfully in the current apocalypse? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

As we all know, Japan is a country with a large population, a small territory, and extremely scarce resources. In this area of about 370,000 square kilometers, there are 140 million Japanese people, which is several times the population density of China.

In addition to the abundant forest resources due to environmental protection, only a few iron, copper, coal and sulfur are produced, and the rest of the resources are either scarce or difficult to mine, and they need to be imported from overseas.

After the Second World War, Japan quickly became a country, and with the rapid development of Japan's social productive forces, the shortcomings of domestic resources became increasingly significant. Compared to other resources, what Japan needs most is energy. Until the beginning of the 21st century, Japan was the world's second-largest importer of energy. In order to solve the problem of energy shortage and reduce dependence on imported oil, the Japanese government has always attached great importance to the development of nuclear energy. Because there is no uranium mine in Japan, since the 80s of the 2nd century, Japan has tried every means to import nuclear materials from other countries and built a number of nuclear material storage bases in the country. At the beginning of the 21st century, Japan was already the world's largest reserve of nuclear materials, and the stockpiled nuclear materials could be used by all the country's nuclear power plants for hundreds of years

While stockpiling large quantities of nuclear materials, Japan is also the country with the largest number of nuclear power plants in the world. By the beginning of the 21st century, Japan's nuclear power plants accounted for 8 percent of the country's total electricity, while France, which ranked second, accounted for only 6 percent of the country's total electricity supply. Moreover, because the country is so small, Japan's nuclear power plants can only be built not far from large cities. If the reactor leaks and there is radioactive contamination, the 140 million Japanese will have nowhere to escape, and the consequences will be catastrophic

But the problem is that in the current apocalypse of zombie frenzy and global nuclear war, these nuclear power plants can continue to operate normally without any incident, even though the Japanese government has collapsed...... That's an unbelievably strange thing

“…… That one...... Although the government has collapsed now, weren't there self-defense forces sent to take over various water and electricity facilities the other day? I think they should have shut down the nuclear power plants as soon as possible. I guess unless it is directly hit by a missile, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”

Komuro scratched his head in some confusion and raised his hand - this brave teenager had been scavenging the streets of this post-apocalyptic city under the threat of radiation and zombies...... Or a robbery, I just came back half an hour ago, so I don't know much about some of the things before.

“…… Komuro-san, please don't have high expectations for the capabilities of the Self-Defense Forces, the Self-Defense Forces who were sent to take over the two nuclear power plants in Ibaraki Prefecture, are all here right now, they were besieged by a large number of zombies as soon as they boarded the speedboat.6 They couldn't break through at all, so they fled in fright, and then accidentally broke their engines at sea, and they drifted for three days before landing in the main city of the bed...... The Self-Defense Forces who flew to the Fukushima nuclear power plant by helicopter were even worse, as they were hit by a blast wave shortly after they came out of Tokyo Bay, and less than half of them struggled to fly to us......

Doraemon sighed and interjected, "...... Moreover, Komuro-san, a nuclear power plant is not a motorcycle, as long as you pull out the key and turn off the fire, you can throw it aside. With the technical conditions of this era, the sealing of nuclear power plants can be an extremely cumbersome and large project......"

-- Well, first of all, I need to popularize science, the so-called nuclear electricity in the modern world usually does not directly turn the energy of nuclear fission into electricity. Instead, like a king-sized tea stove, it uses the heat energy of nuclear fission to boil water, and then uses high-temperature steam to drive a steam turbine to call it.

To do this, engineers need to sinter nuclear fuel, which contains uranium powder as the main raw material, into uranium dioxide ceramic pellets. They are then packed into slender zirconium alloy material sleeves and turned into nuclear fuel rods. When the electricity is applied, the rod is inserted into the reaction cell. If you want to get a little more heat, plug in the fuel rod a little deeper, and if you want to reduce the electrical power, pull out the rod a little. And this qiē requires electricity.

To put it simply, the nuclear power plant itself also needs electricity, even if the reactor has been shut down and there is no electricity, it must also use electricity

What happens to nuclear reactors if the entire nuclear power plant is accidentally completely de-energized in the process?

Well, let's take the Fukushima nuclear disaster in our world as an example, in fact, at the first moment of the East China Sea earthquake, several nuclear reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant were urgently shut down. But the problem is that even if the emergency shutdown has been completed, the residual heat generated by the decay of the entire reactor still needs to be cooled down, otherwise the heat alone can cause the core temperature to soar to thousands of degrees Celsius

In the case of a reactor shutdown, the electric water pump of the waste heat cooling system needs to be supplied from an external source, or rely on emergency diesel motors, and the battery is constantly replaced...... After the earthquake, Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was completely paralyzed by the external power grid, and its own emergency diesel motor was also flooded by the tsunami, thus losing all external power supply and only relying on batteries to survive. However, TEPCO tried to cover the lid and refused to admit the accident, so after the battery ran out, it was tragic because the core lost its means of cooling.

Next, rescuers who arrived from Tokyo risked their lives and had no choice but to sit back and watch as large amounts of radioactive sewage were discharged into the Pacific Ocean, polluting the underground water veins while the core continued to burn through the foundation......

Obviously, in the current zombie tide that swept the world in an instant, the fate of nuclear power plants around the world may be even more terrifying...... Maybe in the beginning, you can rely on computer programs to keep the reactor running, but as long as it drags on a little longer, it will inevitably explode one after another

Not to mention the global nuclear war that destroyed the world, and the frenzied EP electromagnetic pulse attack again and again - many old nuclear power plants that were built too old or had a low level of technology did not have the ability to prevent EP electromagnetic pulse attacks, in that case, I am afraid that the entire electronic operating system of the nuclear power plant, including the electric pump of the waste heat cooling system, will be burned in the electromagnetic pulse. If you want to save it, it will only take a few hours at least, or only one or two days at most, and the residual heat from the nuclear fuel rods will burn through the reactor and lead to the core meltdown

Moreover, this is an ideal situation in which the nuclear power plant has been shut down urgently...... If the reactor is paralyzed by the EP electromagnetic pulse attack before it has time to shut down, then I am afraid that the entire reactor will be blown up into the sky with a "bang" in an instant, just like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

As for what will happen after the nuclear power plant core meltdown...... Doraemon took out Ruo Yuzhang's on-site photos of France that he had just synthesized with the [Home Mini Reconnaissance Satellite] - the idyllic scenery of Europe on the screen was indeed quite good, and the gorgeous sunset as a background was even more colorful and dazzlingly beautiful, and the nuclear power plant with a melted core was not reduced to ruins as if it had been bombarded by missiles, but there were some scattered flames on the roof, and wisps of white smoke were emitted...... But all around it, there were falling birds, dead human and animal corpses, and a large number of zombies that had returned to death again: it was clear that such a terrifying and intense radiation could no longer withstand even the rough and sturdy zombies that could not bear it

And the nuclear fission reactors, which are also in the process of being melted down, have at least 60 on the soil of the Japanese archipelago...... Or more

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In short, through Guò Doraemon and Wang Qiu's remarks, everyone here understood the seriousness of the above problems and the urgency of time - most of the reactors in various parts of Japan are now barely salvageable, although they are likely to have gone wrong and become time bombs. In case when the nuclear fuel rods completely burn through the foundation and protective cover, and the entire nuclear power plant collapses, it will be difficult for the gods to save it

However, knowing the problem is not the same as solving the problem - and then they quickly understand how small their power is.

“…… Find a way to seal all these nuclear power plants? To put it mildly, do you know how long the process of decommissioning the nuclear industry in the modern world is? In general, those professionals must patiently allow the nuclear fuel to cool completely, then remove the nuclear fuel and wait for its radiation dose to gradually decrease. During this time, the plant can dismantle the low-polluting equipment, such as electric motors, and finally split the reactor's steel containers and throw them into the trench or bury them deep underground—the entire process of decontamination and dismantling can take 20 or even 30 years

But the problem is that we obviously can't find many professional engineers and construction personnel who are proficient in the nuclear industry, and we don't have such a long time to deal with it, and we can't even handle 60 reactors at the same time, and it seems that there are less than 1,000 people in this main castle."

In response to everyone's request, Doraemon said helplessly, "...... Hey, don't look at me, for a big guy as dangerous as a nuclear power plant, my props won't be of much use, and if you use a shrinking lamp, I'm afraid that before you can shrink the reactor, the radioactive materials inside will already leak; If the nuclear power plant is reduced to raw materials, so many uranium ores are piled together, which can also pollute the environment and kill people......

“…… So what do we do? Is it just watching the Japanese archipelago turn into a radioactive wasteland? Saya Takajo asked, pushing his glasses.

“…… As a matter of fact, Doraemon and I have already discussed and weighed the countermeasures to resolve the above-mentioned nuclear leakage crisis. After excluding those solutions that were not in time or were out of our power, there was only a simple and crude solution left. ”

For some reason, Wang Qiu's eyes actually flashed with some strange excitement, "...... It is to aim at every nuclear power plant that may leak, and directly drop a high-yield hydrogen bomb, and all the pollution sources can be blown up and gasified

As for the origin of the hydrogen bomb, you can rest assured that as long as you have money, you can order it from the 22nd century world of Doraemon. Of course, the destruction and disaster caused by this to the area around the nuclear power plant had to be ignored...... I named it Nuclear Flat Japan, Combat"

- Nani? "Nuclear Peaceing Japan" Operations? Are you sure you didn't get anything wrong?

As for this unbelievable solution to the nuclear crisis by countering violence with violence, everyone at first only felt that it was messy and terrifying and absurd, but after listening carefully to Wang Qiu's explanation, it became clear that this countermeasure of "nuclear leveling Japan" was not unreasonable -- yes, there will be radioactive contamination after the explosion of a nuclear bomb, and it is a fatal nuclear pollution, but the radioactive contamination caused by the explosion of a nuclear bomb and the accident at a nuclear power plant is different in nature.

Although the explosion of a nuclear warhead was terrifying, it was an instantaneous explosion, and the radioactive contamination was very serious at that time, but the degree of attenuation was also very fast, and the danger of nuclear radiation was generally stored for a few days or months, and after a year or two, it was basically nothing, and it was by no means the decades that some people boasted of -- for example, the nuclear weapons test site where the Americans dropped more than 20 hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs, the famous Bikini Atoll, has long since become a tropical tourist attraction full of life and tourists; Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where atomic bombs were dropped, were rebuilt into bustling cities within a few years.

On the contrary, after the nuclear power plant leaks, the radioactive material is released slowly, and the amount of contamination per unit of time may not be large, but it lasts for too long, at least a few years, at most hundreds of years, and even longer if it is not done -- as a comparison with the three nuclear bomb ranges of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Bikini, the area around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is still a radiation exclusion zone for decades after the accident

Therefore, since there is no cure for those nuclear power plants with melted cores, then in the spirit of curing diseases and saving people, we simply use hydrogen bombs to blow them up

No matter how you look at it, it is better to suffer and ruin for a while than to leave a legacy for generations to come. As for the survivors who will be killed by the hydrogen bomb...... Well, anyway, after the nuclear power plant exploded, they were also determined to die of radiation sickness, so what about another way of dying?

However, in any case, this means that everyone here will make decisions with their own hands and deprive tens of millions of Japanese citizens of their lives......

If it had been a bloodthirsty Japanese militarist at the time of World War II, he might have already made a choice under such circumstances. However, in this new era of the 21st century, which is "depleted" throughout Japan, such a heavy sense of guilt and moral obstacles cannot be overcome lightly.

Therefore, out of the most basic humanitarian concept, everyone here has been hesitant about this, neither daring to respond in one go, nor daring to give up this way of life. In the end, it was Soichiro Takashiro who stood up and made the final decision-"...... I am afraid that none of us can afford to take such a serious issue as this, which is related to the lives of tens of millions of compatriots and the survival and safety of the Japanese archipelago, so in order to show democracy and justice, let's hold a referendum as a whole."

Well, although this Uncle Gao Cheng said it soundingly, in fact, it was just shirking responsibility and seeking peace of mind.

-- At half past eleven o'clock that night, after fully understanding the grim situation of the entire Japanese archipelago that was about to become a nuclear-contaminated area, and the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen bombs to quickly resolve the current nuclear crisis, the 997 survivors who had gathered at the castle of the bed owner quickly upheld the cynical spirit of "the dead do not die and the poor do not die," and voted by the majority to understand the battle plan of "nuclear leveling Japan" and had no other way to survive anyway

On the other hand, the Virgin Mary, who loves without boundaries and picks bones in eggs and has nothing to do, is almost dead in these days.

What's more, in the face of the current desperate situation of nuclear contamination and nowhere to hide, only a real madman will kill himself

As a result, the Japanese archipelago, which was already devastated, is about to usher in a new round of tragic nuclear explosions......
