Chapter 3 God's Curse (2)
I felt chilled, afraid that in the end, someone would reveal some secret, and could use the simplest method to kill everyone and destroy all nations and all countries. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
***************************************************************************
The power of the nuclear reactor reaches 30 gigawatts at this time, which is ten times the power of normal operation. The huge chain reaction has begun to proceed at all and cannot be stopped. The fuel rod begins to melt the cooling water, and the steam pressure increases rapidly. A large amount of water vapor gathers again, forming a huge pressure.
Lushnikrensky struggled to stand up. He saw that the pointer on the instrument had crossed the red line greatly, and all the alarms began to ring.
The emergency stop is urgently started, and the emergency plan No. 2 is activated!" He shouted at everyone, yelling, and rushing towards the control platform.
"Hurry up!" Lushnikrensky saw Mitrulinfedelov sitting on the ground and still not moving, and roared again. At this moment, a loud bang - another earth-shaking loud noise, and the entire factory shaking violently. The second steam explosion occurred. This explosion was much more violent than the first. The strong impact directly lifted Lushnikrensky off. The isolation wall of the control room No. 4 was blown through, and coolant splashed in a large area of reactor. The radiation intensity was the human body's ability to withstand the hot water that drenched everyone's body.
The huge explosion destroyed the entire reactor. The top cover of the reactor was blown up to pieces. The reactor parts flew directly out and were scattered everywhere. The powerful air waves directly exploded a large hole in the roof, and a large amount of water vapor rushed into the unobstructed sky with more than 8 tons of nuclear radiation materials and graphite.
At this time, a strange scene appeared in the sky of the small town of Pripiati. A pillar of air rushed straight to the sky. A large amount of strong radiation substance made the whole color colorful. The bright nuclear substance made the whole night very bright. Orange, red, blue, and various colors intertwined, making it as beautiful as a rainbow. This gorgeous and strange scene surprised all the people who were awakened.
Due to the explosion and the roof protection was lost, a large amount of oxygen flowed into the reactor, providing the high-temperature nuclear fuel and graphite in the reactor with the opportunity to burn. The graphite, which is used as a slower agent, began to burn and gradually turned into a raging fire. The fire generated a hot high temperature, allowing the hot air with nuclear dust to continue to rise and spread to a wider area.
The huge explosion has awakened many people. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Fire Brigade was the first rescuer to arrive at the scene of the accident, followed by the fire brigade in Pripyat City. Dozens of fire trucks roared towards the scene where the fire burned.
Firefighter Bilgon was awakened by his teammates late at night, and they immediately left the city by car. While Bilgon drove the Jill waterproof truck toward the scene, he could see the scene above the nuclear power plant from afar. The blazing fire illuminated half of the sky. In the black sky above the fire, a large area of colorful glow enveloped the entire area, like the ominous light of the coming of the God of the Underworld.
"Damn it - what the hell is this?" Another firefighter, Kara, said uneasy as he looked at the strange scene. No one in the car said, and everyone's hearts suddenly seemed to be filled with something, and the atmosphere immediately became heavier.
When they arrived, it was like hell. In addition to the fire in front of them, there were fragments of buildings and equipment everywhere. The roof of the factory was burning, and the high temperature made the asphalt road melt - even the metal manhole cover melted... Asphalt and graphite were splashing everywhere on the roadside, and the hot graphite was moving, as if it had been burned by lime. What was bad is that the direction of the graphite flow was exactly where the other three reactors were...
These firefighters wearing ordinary cotton fire suits bravely raised the water dragon and rushed up the fire. However, the fire caused by graphite combustion is difficult to extinguish ordinary water and dry ice fire extinguishing agent. The firefighters quickly used up all the water and fire extinguishing agents carried in their cars, but the fire was not affected. The hot air brought by the high temperature blew across their faces and bodies like strong winds, and the firefighters endured strong radiation that was ten thousand times the amount of human body to bear. Many people began to feel strong nausea and started vomiting almost every half minute.
The firefighting commander Arenilu Dishenko at the scene ended with dizziness and strong vomiting, and kept roaring: "Click on the fire hydrant immediately and move quickly - hold on to it-" He roared while grabbing his clothes and roughly pushed all the retreating firefighters back in front, and even raised the water dragon himself to put out the fire.
As a graduate of Dnieper University in the Soviet Union, he certainly knew what it meant to be on fire at this time. It was the most hideous and terrifying substance that humans could see. The wind, soil, water, and everything was already covered with the curse of the god of death. But he could not retreat, and the firefighters here could not retreat. The fire was burning. If it continued, it was very likely to spread to a nearby reactor. If all three reactors were on fire, it would be a huge disaster.
Behind him is Pripyat, where his wife and young daughter are his own, and more than 100,000 residents; behind him, more than a hundred kilometers away is Kiev, Ukraine, where millions of ordinary people are unaware of it...
"You pigs, cowards - all of you go up - all of you go up - aim the water dragon at the fire, block it, and block it for me -" Alenilyu Dishhenko pushed the firefighters, grabbed a faucet and rushed up by himself. Kara and Birgon and several other firefighters followed him, rushed up with the water dragon, and sprayed the fire that was spreading outward.
The water dragon squirted violently, fighting against the vicious fire demon, and the figures of firefighters were looming in the firelight. These Ukrainian men who usually only had cloth salary, wore ordinary cotton fire uniforms, had no money to buy beautiful fashion for their wives, had no money to take their children to amusement park vacation, and even couldn't even smoke cigarettes, at this special moment, fought with the most terrifying power in the world with their fearless courage.
…………
On the morning of January 26, Pripyat City...
The accident at the nuclear power plant was reported quickly, which shocked the Kiev Prefecture Committee. The leader of the Kiev Prefecture Committee rushed to hold an emergency meeting in Pripyat City.
"In other words, the nuclear power plant has a nuclear leak now, right?" Soratov, secretary of the Kiev Prefecture Party Committee, asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, Comrade Secretary. The situation in the No. 4 reactor is now in a bad state, and a fire has been set. The burning graphite brings high temperatures and is gradually melting the reactor core, and the radiation material is spilling out." Dayatlov, chief engineer of the nuclear power plant, said in a trembling voice.
Kiev Prefectural Party Secretary Soratov is a strong, tall forehead and very conservative person. After hearing Dayatlov's words, he frowned. He said rudely: "You answer me, what did you do? There was such a big accident in operating a nuclear reactor, and there were so many nuclear power plants in the whole country. Why are you the only ones in trouble? This is a serious irresponsible act, a dereliction of duty, and a crime against the people. I ask you to put out the fire as soon as possible and restore the lives of the people here to normal."
"Comrade Secretary knows that nuclear reactor leakage is a very dangerous thing. It is impossible to deal with the power here. You must send us support forces..." Dayatlov said worriedly.
Soratov was furious when he heard this: "So what are you doing in your daily life? Don't you even have a plan to deal with nuclear leakage? What is the purpose of the people supporting you?"
Everyone present looked at the angry state party secretary, lowered their heads and fell into silence...
