Prologue: Disaster

Next Chapter

......

In the year 4217 A.D., the morning in the city of Kappa is as usual full of laughter.

Children line up to board the school bus, pregnant women kiss men's faces, old people take a leisurely walk on the grass, and young people running past them who are late for work, carrying a bag of warm milk in their hands.

The sound of reading comes from the windows, office workers eat breakfast and wait for the bus, and colorful flowers bloom everywhere in the green park.

It's a small, fledgling city in the southern hemisphere of Asia, and people have chosen to gather here because of a new nuclear power plant on the banks of the River Ley.

As a test site for new nuclear materials, everyone has high hopes for Kappa, and as long as the test data is not problematic, they are qualified to cooperate with a super company and become a member of the KEKEA research group, so as to get rid of the dilemma of backward technology and continued economic downturn.

In the evening, it rained heavily in the city of Kappa, and the Kappa nuclear power plant continued to carry out testing work as usual.

When it was time for the shift change of the on-duty personnel, the engineer wearing a protective suit entered the nuclear power plant, and there was a sudden violent shaking in the nuclear power plant.

Bang โ€“

"What's going on?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and as the value of the display screen continued to rise, the operator Fran immediately pressed all the control keys in the third row on the console, and shouted to the foreman Masache:

"The reactor can't be cooled down, what's going on outside?"

Masage was also frightened by what happened suddenly, but as the manager of the nuclear power plant, he reacted quickly and ran to the red button that was sealed by the glass window.

"Calm down and don't act like an intern. โ€

"Achnov went out to check the main circulating water pump and prepared to switch the backup power supply scheme!"

The engineers in the operating room immediately got to work, and when the backup power supply system was turned on, Massach quickly smashed the glass window with a hammer and pressed the button, and the reactor temperature began to drop.

However, the temperature only dropped for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, the number representing the temperature suddenly soared, and the closed control room shook violently again!

There was a mess in the control room.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the reactor exploded? Just after Massachie pressed that......"

"Shut your crow's mouth, there's no way something could go wrong with the emergency withdrawal button!"

Masage cried out angrily, and in the midst of the wavering gaze of the crowd, he leaned against the console and trembled and took a cigarette from his chest pocket and lit it.

"I'll go out and see it myself, you continue to check, and no one is allowed to leave their jobs without my orders!"

"But Masach ......"

"No, I'm your foreman, I've been in this position for seventeen years!"

"There's absolutely no way the reactor will explode, I know it better than any of you!"

Masach angrily pointed at the skeptic's nose as he slammed the door, leaving only a terrified instrument operator and a dead silence......

About ten minutes later, Massach returned, with a rage that no one could understand.

"Look, what do I say, the reactor can't explode. โ€

"Now you can get off work, it's just a small problem, and I'll explain the reason to Kobert myself!"

"But, Massachie, the temperature hasn't dropped yet......"

Massac's orders were questioned, but he was greeted with a harsher reprimand.

"Enough!

"You were still playing in the mud in the park when I was studying physics, are you going to teach me how to deal with such a little situation?"

"Listen, you cowards, I'm the maรฎtre d'art in this room, and I have the right to get you out of your job and out of the specialist's apartment right away!"

"When the test data is submitted, I will be the chief engineer!"

"Remember it forever!"

Massachie slammed the door and left, and soon after his order was given, only the last two people were left in the control room, and their eyes showed strange looks.

"Achnov hasn't come back yet, he's ...... It's been a long time since I've been out. โ€

Curran was silent for a long time, his dry eyes bloodshot.

"Yesterday it was you and I who overhauled the coolant circulating pump, and we ...... There wasn't any misconduct, right?"

"Of course, we've overhauled it countless times!"

"I'm not worried, I'll have to go check it again!"

"The temperature of the reactor has not come down, and even if Massach is not lying, he cannot guarantee that the reactor will not explode after it continues to heat up, so we have to manually turn on the backup water circulation pump......

"Curran, you're crazy! If the reactor is exposed, you can't ...... even if you're wearing a protective suit."

"My wife and children are still in the city!"

Curran grabbed Fran and roared in his ear.

There was silence in the control room for about half a minute, and Fran's feet went limp, and his body trembled.

He had already thought of the worst.

"Iโ€”I'll send a message to Meimei first and ask her to close the window. โ€
