I’ll add some practice in the real world - Chapter 383
c375 374 Not quite right radiation
“What?”
“Reactor shutdown?!”
“Mom Fuck! You…you say it again?”
Upon hearing the latest situation reported by his subordinates, Brigadier General Trick felt as if he had been stabbed hard in the tailbone.
This needle is damn long and thick!
A stream of cold air ran from his butt all the way up his back and up to his brain, making his whole body shiver.
You know, these are two pressurized water reactors!
Although it is a castrated version of a nuclear reactor, its designed rated power is only a few million kilowatts. Compared with the tens of millions of kilowatts of reactors in large nuclear power plants, the energy supply efficiency is more than dozens of times different.
But once something like “nuclear” is beyond human control, the consequences will be devastating.
Several famous nuclear accidents in history, such as Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc., which one did not bring catastrophic consequences?
Although the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier is resting at the base and undergoing some superficial maintenance, according to common practice, it is impossible to shut down the two pressurized water reactors.
Because the reaction principle currently used in the reactors used by this type of ship is a chain reaction that goes all the way to the end, which is what we commonly call nuclear fission.
The process of nuclear fission can be simply understood as firing a bullet from the barrel of a gun into a pile of bullets.
The first bullet shot out of the muzzle, and even if a god came, it would be impossible for it to turn around and stop the next step of fission.
As for the carbon rod that controls the reaction power, it can be regarded as a car accelerator. The deeper the accelerator is stepped on, the faster the fission reaction will be and the greater the output power will be.
But you want to apply the brakes, unscrew the switch key, and shut down the reactor?
Excuse me!
With the current technology of mankind, there is simply no switch technology that is so awesome that it can stop the nuclear fission reaction!
Unless we use a stupid method to blow up the reactor into the sky and completely detonate all the nuclear fuel inside. Or let it reach the limit of its service life, and then there is some hope of shutting it down.
The current abnormal shutdown situation is absolutely not allowed to occur on a normal nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Because such horrific consequences are definitely something Brigadier General Trick cannot afford.
Think about it!
There are tens of thousands of Eagle Nation sailors inside and outside the base alone. Counting the millions of civilians on the island chain, any leakage of nuclear radiation would be enough to lift Commodore Trick and carry him away. He was sent to a military court for trial for crimes against humanity, and the most primitive way of carrying a coffin was used by black people.
When he thought of this terrible consequence, Brigadier General Trick’s heart suddenly rose to his throat.
I saw him constantly urging the commandos to enter the power center and grasp the specific situation of the pressurized water reactor, while asking the combat command room to issue the highest level “nuclear” protection order.
Shrill alarms rolled back and forth throughout the base, and a team of nuclear engineers wearing protective suits began to take helicopters and land on the aircraft carrier deck.
As the commandos deepened, the radiation instruments carried by the nuclear engineers did not produce any abnormal alarms.
Even the most sensitive environmental radiation meters display a long list of safe radiation dose numbers of “0000”.
Upon seeing this, Brigadier General Trick’s hanging heart relaxed a little.
“God bless!”
“There was no leak!”
“The situation is still under control!” Brigadier General Trick excitedly waved his fist in the war room and high-fived several correspondents who were monitoring the nuclear radiation dose.
For everyone here, it is a blessing that no nuclear leak occurred.
Unfortunately, not long after their cheering and celebration started, an unharmonious sound came from the noisy communications on the front line.
“Sir…Sir, something is wrong!”
“Our instruments all work normally, but we can’t detect any radiation dose in the power center area.” A nuclear engineer reported loudly.
“Isn’t this good news?”
“The undetectable radiation dose does not mean that our pressurized water reactor is still normal?” Brigadier General Trick frowned and asked suspiciously.
He did not come from a serious nuclear major, and his promotion process followed the traditional military academy of the Eagle Kingdom. Naturally, he did not understand the deeper meaning of this zero radiation dose.
I had no choice but to find an intelligence officer in the combat command room for a brief analysis:
“Sir, environmental radiation should not be an absolute zero dose!”
“Even if the power system is shut down, the fuel inside the reactor will still run slowly. Although Westinghouse’s shell protection technology is very reliable, radiation below safe values will more or less penetrate from the inside.”
After listening to the intelligence officer’s analysis, Brigadier General Trick’s eyes suddenly widened. He took off his military cap and said in a trembling voice: “Jesus! You…you mean…the enemy stole our nuclear fuel.” ?”
“No… I don’t know… I can’t confirm yet Sir”
“Because we haven’t found any shadow of the enemy yet.”
“There is another possibility that the enemy has mastered the technology of temporarily shutting down the reactor. Perhaps it is because of this that we cannot detect the radiation value of the fuel.” The intelligence officer broke into a cold sweat when his boss asked him this.
Because the situation of nuclear fuel being stolen is even more fanciful than a simple nuclear leak accident!
Even the best nuclear technicians would not dare to pat their chests and say that they were able to extract the fuel sections from two intact pressurized water reactors in just a few hours under the guard of several Eagle Nation sailors.
What’s the use of a few hours?
Even if you open the reactor lid, you have to spend several days on it!
…
Just as everyone was entangled in this unsolvable problem that could be called a logical whirlpool, another team of commandos entering the aircraft carrier suddenly sent an emergency message.
“Sir, we have found a suspected enemy target!”
“The target…the target is directly above the ship island, about 20 feet away!”
“Target characteristics… flying… black shell… human size…”
Emergency communications were broadcast in the war room, and several patrol drones connected to the command center data link immediately switched to the perspective of the commando reporting through aerial photography.
“God bless! What is that?”
“The enemy is a human wearing Iron Man’s coat?”
Everyone in the war room took a deep breath when they saw the humanoid target clearly.
The intelligence officer responsible for monitoring the radar data quickly raised his hand and said: “Sir, it is hiding in the shadow of the mast of the ship island, avoiding the observation of the patrol helicopter! The search radar has no response to it!”
“The AI capture system cannot lock on the target! It can only be visually captured through the naked eye or surveillance!”
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Brigadier General Trick had come back to his senses and was even a little excited.
In his opinion, the one that could avoid tens of thousands of sailors and sneak into the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier was definitely the Zentraedi-like stealth technology.
And it’s a black technology loaded onto something like an individual soldier!
Even he, the brigadier general of Eagle Nation, had never heard of technology like this.
No need to think about it, it was definitely done by Lao Maozi or Rabbit!
Once this target is captured, perhaps this time’s handling of the enemy situation can be turned from passive to active, and be rewarded by the Hexagon.
As soon as he thought of this, the high-spirited Brigadier General Trick came back.
I saw him taking a deep breath in the war room, putting on his airs and commanding: “Since the radar cannot capture it, we will use visual methods to fight!”
“Soldiers! This is the enemy’s latest stealth technology. Even if all firepower is used, we must shoot it down at any cost!”
“Roger that, Sir!”
“God bless my sister Rick!”
“The assault team is divided into three groups and attacks from the deck! Go go go!”
“Follow my orders! Fire!”
There was a noise on the front line, and fire snakes composed of light and heavy machine guns began to spray out wildly on the deck of the USS Reagan aircraft carrier, intertwining towards the black humanoid target above the island.
The commanders and intelligence officers in the war room also held their breath at this moment.
Everyone knows that this is just a preliminary test attack.
Before there is specific information about the enemy, in order not to destroy the ship island, we can only organize this type of firearms attack.
But what no one expected was that the motionless humanoid target floating above suddenly floated up and shot straight into the sky at a speed beyond human imagination.
While this high-speed upward attack avoided the bullet attack, it also drew a strange trajectory like a parabola in the sky.
With a final loud bang, the humanoid target broke through the sound barriers and tore open the air above the Reagan aircraft carrier. It was like Iron Man landing in the Marvel movie and hit the bulge directly in front of the aircraft carrier deck. on the part.
Immediately afterwards, an unforgettable scene appeared!
The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which was docked smoothly in the deep-water port, suddenly made a terrifying and loud noise, and the tail of the aircraft carrier began to show a strange tendency to break away from the water and surface.
The entire hull of the ship was also tilting and tilting violently at this moment, like a seesaw standing up in the sea water, showing a 90-degree right angle, standing straight up toward the sky!
