Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

When Mr. Bao was inspecting various branches in the United States, He Xiaobo called from far away in the Soviet Union; there was an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and the current situation is unknown.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan knew that he still couldn't change history, and what was supposed to happen still happened. Although it will be delayed, it will definitely not disappear. Some things are beyond human power, at least it is difficult for mortals to change history. Even if there is a delay, what should happen will still happen!

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Accident; or simply the "Chernobyl Incident", was a nuclear reactor accident that occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union. The accident is considered the most serious nuclear power accident in history and the first major accident to be rated as a Level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The entire city of Pripyat was abandoned.

An explosion occurred in Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant near Pripyat. Successive explosions sparked fires and released large amounts of high-energy radiation into the atmosphere, covering large areas. The radiation dose released by this disaster was more than 400 times that of the atomic bomb exploded on Hiroshima during World War II; the economic losses exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and even accelerated the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Officials have two conflicting explanations as to the cause of the accident. The first is to completely shift the responsibility for the accident to the nuclear power plant operator. The second one believed that the accident was caused by design flaws in the pressure tube graphite-moderated boiling water reactor, especially the design of the control rods. Investigation teams on both sides were lobbied by many parties, including reactor designers, Chernobyl nuclear power plant employees and the government.

But now is not the time to care about this. Moscow's top brass may not yet know the seriousness of the matter. But as someone who has been through it, he knows it clearly.

At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to continue inspecting the company. After all, he knew how serious the consequences of this nuclear leak would be. But now I don’t dare to remind the Soviets, otherwise the explanation will be completely different and they will suspect you of ulterior motives. Even if you thanked you at the time, you would inevitably have doubts afterwards whether the Black Cloud Group had planted spies inside the Soviet nuclear power plant.

During the Cold War, this kind of thing; Jedi couldn't stick to each other, otherwise they would easily get burned.

The Soviets could not be informed, but there were some remedies.

In fact, in 1985, preparations had already been made intentionally or unintentionally. After all, it can still be done to allow the Soviet Union to mitigate some damage and reduce casualties.

Bao Zixuan could only ask He Xiaobo to pay close attention to the development of the situation. After all, he did not dare to leak any information to Moscow yet. No matter how good the relationship with little Ustinov is, we still cannot be too direct when it comes to such national interests. .

But we also know that the United States cannot stay here any longer. Moreover, many supplies are in Fucaira. The top-level nuclear radiation protective clothing previously ordered from the Soviet Union in the name of fear of nuclear attack can finally be put to use now.

In fact, after the First Fujia War, Bao Zixuan specially ordered a batch of the world's highest-level nuclear protective suits from the Soviet Union. And not only in the Soviet Union, a large number of them were also ordered in the United States. At that time, the two countries didn't think much about it. They just thought that this kid was worried about being attacked by a nuclear attack and was just prepared.

Moreover, this kind of nuclear protective clothing itself is not an offensive weapon. Except for truly hostile countries, they will normally export to foreign countries. It's just that Bao Zixuan's order is of a high level and the quantity is larger. But considering that someone is so rich, it is quite normal to be willful.

In fact, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union knew that he was preparing for the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

We flew directly to Fucaira without any stopover in the United States. If the Soviet Union needs it, it can mobilize and transport materials from Fucaira as soon as possible. And the distance is not far, it only takes 6 hours for a large cargo plane to arrive.

Of course the Americans knew about the leak at the Soviet nuclear power plant, but they didn't pay much attention. After all, even Moscow doesn’t know the danger level. No matter how capable the CIA is, it will take time to understand the whole story.

Bao Zixuan immediately made a decision to evacuate all staff who were at the forefront of the nuclear power plant immediately. In fact, at this stage, except for the Nikolayev Shipyard, there are not many people in Heiyun Group or Fucaira in Europe. It cannot be said that there is no risk at all, it can only be said that it is relatively low.

I don’t know why the boss issued such an order, and the European staff immediately began to evacuate urgently. Be it in Heiyun Group or Fucaira! Bao Zixuan is the absolute authority, and his orders must be resolutely implemented.

They don't need to understand the order, as long as it is executed.

Workers at Sweden's Fk nuclear power plant, which is about 1,100 kilometers away from Chernobyl, found a lot of abnormal radiation particles stuck to their clothes just after going to work. According to Swedish research, it was discovered that the radiation did not come from the local nuclear power plant; they suspected that there was a problem with the Soviet nuclear power plant. At that time, Sweden asked the Soviet Union through diplomatic channels, but no confirmation was received.

This made them very confused, but the Swedes still took countermeasures seriously; after all, it is not a trivial matter to have so many radiation particles in the air.

Moscow did not reply, but France and Italy began to take it seriously after receiving reports from Sweden about the presence of nuclear radiation particles in the air.

After all, it is so close to Lao Maozi. Even if it is not a problem with the nuclear power plant, it may be a problem with some new weapon being tested. During the Cold War, this was perfectly normal. Although the experiments were conducted secretly before, nuclear weapons are not that easy to control, so it is better to be careful.

France and Italy have stipulated that some crops are prohibited for people to eat, which can be said to have caused panic to a certain extent.

At this time, Moscow's top brass also sensed something was wrong and immediately sent a working group to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to check the situation on the spot. Other European countries have informed the Soviet Union through diplomatic channels; even if the other side deliberately seeks trouble, they will not joke about nuclear radiation.

European countries not only inquired about the situation from the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also reported the phenomenon of excessive nuclear radiation to the International Atomic Energy Agency. At the invitation of the Soviet government, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Blix took a helicopter to inspect the situation at the nuclear power plant from an altitude of 800 meters. He believed that this was the most serious nuclear accident in the world so far.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with little Ustinov, but the top officials in Moscow asked him to go over and take command on the spot; so he had to bite the bullet and go ahead. Only when the country is in trouble can the important value of a person be reflected.

Soviet nuclear energy experts reported to Ustinov Jr. and Blix: "According to the current situation, it is more serious than we imagined."

"At the time of the accident, Reactor No. 4 was scheduled to be shut down for scheduled maintenance and testing, and to take the opportunity to test the reactor's turbine generator capabilities - to check whether sufficient power was still supplied to the reactor safely in the event of a power loss. system."

"The reactor is designed with a pair of diesel generators as a backup power supply, but the diesel generators cannot start instantly. At this time, the reactor will use the rotating turbine as the energy source. The turbine will be separated from the reactor and rotate under its own inertia. The test is to determine whether When the diesel generator has not yet started, whether the turbine can still supply sufficient energy to the water pump during the power reduction phase. This type of test has been successfully performed in other units earlier, but the results were unsatisfactory."

"When the energy output fell below the specified minimum, engineers chose to remove the reactor's control rods and retain 6 of the 211 control rods to speed up the reactor operation. Safety regulations required a minimum number of 30 control rods, but The operator, who thought he was extremely experienced, believed that six control levers were enough, which led to this tragedy."

"Due to the control rod insertion mechanism and design structure, the bottom end of the control rod is designed with graphite; the instant contact between graphite and water coolant causes the reactor reaction rate to increase. The instantaneous increase in power causes the pipe to deform, and the control rod breaks down one-third of the way into the pipe. Stuck; unable to effectively stop a reaction."

"The radioactive contamination then entered the atmosphere after a steam explosion ruptured the main pressure vessel, and oxygen flowed in and combined with the extremely hot reactor fuel and graphite moderator - causing a graphite fire. The fire allowed the radioactive material to spread and contaminate a wider area .”

Little Ustinov didn't quite understand what it meant, but Blix was a top expert in nuclear energy. I immediately knew the seriousness of the matter, combined with the specific situation I just saw on the plane; if not handled in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
