Chapter 550: Preparation
Futaba-gun.
At an altitude of 1,000 meters above the Toshima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, a "US2" seaplane of the Self-Defense Forces flew at a low speed, then turned around and circled the plant.
The heads of the five countries of the emergency support and rescue team all sat on the left half of the plane, observing the situation below through the porthole.
Although seaplanes are not as convenient as helicopters, they are safer and less likely to crash, and at least they can taxi into the sea and land.
Tian Zhan is still wearing a bright orange full-body protective suit, holding the porthole with one hand and holding the Gege meter with the other, and the latter has been screaming "Gege" and never stopped.
The inner layer of the seaplane is also pasted with a layer of aluminum foil-based radiation protection material, although the value in the cabin is already very low, but it is still not negligible.
"Bailey, can you get the plane down a little longer?"
The Colonel shook his head, he didn't want to take any chances.
This field trip was carried out at the strong request of Tian Zhan, and the seaplane also carried their detectors.
The team sent from China has preliminarily locked the position of the sinking core, but there are still some errors.
Lucia, who also needs to use ground-penetrating bullets, is about the same, and they plan to do just that, it's a big deal to use a warhead with a larger yield, anyway, there are stocks there.
The two sinking cores are not too far apart, at least not for nuclear bombs, so the interval between attacks needs to be as short as possible to prevent large displacements from the other core.
Bailey is not interested in any of this, anyway, the plan of the Pacific Fleet is to test submarine-launched missiles, plan to modify a Trident to allow an Ohio-class to launch a strike from the Pacific Ocean, and try to see if Aramco's housekeeping skills have regressed.
The other two sides were instructed to collect as much data as possible, especially the trajectory of the trajectory and the effects of the damage.
Originally, the Hexagon planned to dispatch a B1B bomber to drop it, but a few days ago, the "thunderstorm" suddenly reappeared, which refreshed people's perception of its combat power:
Not only circumnavigating the entire island nation, but even cruising Hawaii, so that its range will never be less than 20,000, or even 25,000 kilometers.
This distance is too sensitive, the range of more than 20,000 means that the cruising radius is at least 10,000 kilometers, and the "thunderstorm" along the Pacific route can completely walk around the west coast of Aramco and then swagger back, and even scare Hawaii by the way!
From the western Pacific, a direct threat to the West Coast!
And this is still a stealth aircraft, although there are many people who can find it with their naked eyes and ears alone, but the radar cannot find the target at all this time, as if all it sees is an illusion, and it cannot be locked at all.
Congress immediately realized that the natural barrier provided by the two oceans had become a huge hole and was not impassable or required a one-way death, and this fear made them extremely uneasy, and they desperately needed to show their strength, so they replaced B1B with Ohio-class to prove that they were still strong.
Since that day, Tian Zhan, who has always been unsmiling, has become a little terrifying in Bailey's heart, and he is very sure that this action of the "thunderstorm" is a response to the demonstration that day, and the fact is that although the demonstration team did not disband immediately after the flight around the island, it did not take any further action.
The seaplane flew around the nuclear power plant for more than an hour before returning to the airport, then the ground crew took turns decontaminating everyone on it, and finally pushed the plane into a dedicated hangar to await maintenance, and the plane would only be used in the radiation zone for the next few months.
Tian Zhan came out of the cleaning cabin and changed his clothes, and after communicating with the survey team of his peers, he called the rest of the Quartet:
"Guys, we've been able to pinpoint the final pinpoint, and given that the core is still sinking, we want to be able to move on as soon as possible, otherwise the second survey will only be more complicated."
For the pollution clean-up problem of Fu Island, the IAEA has readjusted and established the final plan:
Since the ground-penetrating bomb will also produce a small amount of air pollution, the order is set as the No. 1 core cleanup, the No. 2 core cleanup, and finally the airburst clean-up radiation.
And because the two cores are still sinking, the cleanup must be carried out as soon as possible to avoid further mispositioning.
Tian Zhan's proposal was very reasonable, and the rest of the people had no reason to oppose it.
Sergey: "Tian, how long do you think is the best?" ”
Tian Zhan: "Within two months, our team in China has set off, and it will take a month to continue to complete the survey and familiarize ourselves with the environment, and the remaining month will be an opportunity to carry out operations. ”
Sergey: "Then we're pretty much the same, but it will take a little time to prepare the missiles, and it may take January." ”
Both of them finally looked at Bailey, who could only spread his hands:
"I need to ask about the progress in the country first...... But I don't think it's a big deal, oh...... You may be able to get it closer to December 24 so we can catch Christmas Eve. ”
Tian Zhan: "The inhabitants here...... Will you feel peaceful? ”
Bailey: "At least the Pacific Fleet will." ”
“……”
……
November 22, Beijing.
Xinyuan's C810 landed at the Capital International Airport again, and Lin Ju walked down the gangway helplessly, and behind him was Academician She, who was eyeing him.
The flight of the Nine Chapters a few days ago caused a great shock to the outside world, but what was even more important was that Lin Ju himself actually boarded the spaceship.
Such a combination immediately gave the outside world a new understanding of domestic aerospace technology, and felt that it had completely opened up the grade with other space agencies.
No matter how various other astronauts reveal that the "Chapter 9" is just a new skin of outdated technology, but there is a saying that handsome is a lifelong thing, and the Chapter 9 directly has a wide range of fans around the world, and the videos of the spacecraft taking off and landing are being spread on the Internet in the past few days, and every day people are tracking and filming the spacecraft that has been loaded and halfway along the route.
Lin Ju, who personally piloted it, also greatly increased his fame, and countless people admired his confidence in his own products, speculating that he might even land on the moon himself.
Academician She has now changed his priority to monitor Lin Ju to prevent him from coming to Hu - although this is not very useful, and he himself can be regarded as one of the contributing factors.
After he took the space plane up, the rest of the space bureau was not only envious, but also eager to try, once this kind of thing began, it was difficult to stop, and there was no charter to convince the comrades that something was going to happen.
And the initiator of everything, Lin Ju, is very relaxed, he is still preparing to do a big deal in the capital this time, and the first batch of expeditions of United Mining has been assembled, and it is confirmed that they will start to go out in batches from next month.
The succession of victories of the Chapter 9 spacecraft and the space plane has strongly boosted people's confidence in United Mining, at least in terms of technology.
The group rested in the guest house for one night, and the next day went directly to the headquarters of United Mining.
As soon as Lin Ju walked to the gate, he saw the big guy's smiling face.
The latter waited until Lin Ju stepped forward and pinched his shoulder, confirming that his limbs were intact before he stretched out his finger and said:
"Lin Ju, Lin Ju, your nickname should be Lin Daring, Lin Runeng, if it weren't for us old things, you would have to fly to the sky and Mars."
"How do you know that I plan to build a space research center, and when the time comes, the office will also be moved there, which is convenient."
“……”
"Don't be sloppy."
Lin Ju's cheekiness made the big guy even a little unresponsive for a while, and only after brushing it did he say with a serious face:
"Let me inform you from above that the central government has decided, the day after tomorrow is a good day to get married, and you are not allowed to run around until your son can fly a rocket."
"Huh?"
This time it was Lin Ju's turn to be dumbfounded, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse:
"Zhang Ju, this is my personal problem, and I don't need to organize to solve it."
"Hey, forgot your position in the Aviation Development Commission? It's about caring for you. ”
The big guy admired Lin Ju's confusion for a while without changing his face, and only after being satisfied with the success of his counterattack did he explain that it was a joke, and let the latter pat his chest while adding:
"But your personal problems should be solved, less than with you is very suitable, choose a good day, if you have time, come and drink a glass of your wine."
The frightened Lin Ju secretly cursed in his heart for being indecent, and was about to refute but suddenly thought of something, and instead held the big man's hand and said solemnly:
"Then I ask you to come, and Old She, you can't talk if you don't count."
Although Academician She didn't speak just now, he naturally had no reason to refuse Lin Ju's invitation.
"We're definitely coming, but you're a rich man, don't dislike us for having little money."
"Yes, you, a local tyrant, also learn to charter a big yacht with Prince Aber?"
Lin Ju also echoed the trend:
"That's right, but you may have to come to the base then, and I'll send a plane to pick you up, and people will definitely arrive."
Both of them kept nodding their heads, but they didn't know that Lin Ju was already thinking about how to assign the engineers to ambush in advance, and then directly lift them to the aerospace plane - watch me send you all to space, no, to the moon!
Where is it interesting to get married and send it to heaven when people are not prepared?
Lin Ju made up his mind to go back and arrange the plan, so he followed the two all the way to the headquarters of United Mining, where all the crew members who participated in the first phase of the investigation mission had gathered.
There are both professional astronauts and experts from all walks of life, all looking forward to the trip to the moon in high spirits.
It has only been more than four months since the establishment of United Mining, but it has funded a large number of domestic scientific research teams and enterprises in a vigorous and resolute way, and now it is ready for the foundation.
This meeting can be regarded as a "pledge meeting", but the way to take the oath is to show your results.
First of all, the engineer representative of the base first disclosed the progress of several large-scale plans such as Long March 18, Jiuzhang, Liming-1 and Yushu-1, proving that United Mining has made all the basic preparations.
At the same time, there is also the first batch of "lunar automatic unmanned energy production system" that has been shipped out of the base one after another, and the test machines shipped to the northeast in the past few months have all achieved trouble-free continuous operation in harsh environments, and the work efficiency has also reached expectations.
There are now two official versions in production, one of which has been shipped to Qiongzhou to be loaded into the Jiuzhang spacecraft and launched next month.
