Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Although it sounds vague, but after all, little Ustinov is also a military professional. He was also the Minister of Weapons and Equipment of the Soviet Union, so he was no stranger to nuclear weapons. Of course we know how harmful excessive nuclear radiation is to the environment and human body.

Little Ustinov immediately said: "What supplies are needed now and what work needs to be prepared; sort them out immediately!"

As the commander-in-chief, even if you don’t understand something, you should listen to the opinions of experts. After all, no one can ignore the dangers of nuclear radiation.

After hearing this, the Soviet nuclear energy experts finally felt relieved; they were really worried that Moscow would send a second-hand knife over. I don’t understand anything, so I will give blind orders when the time comes. The person in front of me seems to have a high position, but he knows what he wants to do and what he can do; this alone is much stronger than ordinary people.

The Soviet nuclear energy expert said categorically: "Currently we need a large number of high-quality protective suits, and we must prepare them immediately. At the same time, we must mobilize personnel to dig a tunnel from under the nuclear power plant; in this case, we can only use manual digging. Once the machine is used, it will be slightly If you are not careful, it will cause landslides, which will aggravate the disaster; and it will also pollute nearby groundwater resources."

"Fortunately, after the remediation by firefighters, pilots, and protective forces, the reactor loopholes have been basically repaired. However, for safety, a giant cement sarcophagus must be built. Only when the No. 4 reactor is completely sealed can the next step of operation be carried out."

"At the same time, evacuate the surrounding people and inform neighboring countries; take necessary defensive measures. This matter cannot be concealed any longer, otherwise we will be sinners of the entire human race."

While carrying out other work, we must also deal with nuclear radiation waste that seriously exceeds the standard. The required protective clothing is intended to be distributed to staff.

After the accident, the first batch of firefighters arrived at the scene of the accident within 6 minutes after receiving the fire alarm call. They were wearing simple protective equipment from the beginning and realized within half an hour of arriving at the scene that the fire was not a simple fire. Some firefighters began to suffer from headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc. - these are early symptoms after the human body receives strong radiation.

After realizing the existence of radiation, some firefighters asked people to close doors and windows for family members in Pripyat near the nuclear power plant, and then returned to the fire scene to continue fighting the fire. One group of firefighters was replaced, and another group came on...

The fire was successfully controlled and did not spread to the adjacent No. 3 reactor; after the open flame was extinguished, superiors issued an evacuation order. Some rescue workers left the scene, while some injured people ran back to the power station to continue rescue operations after being sent to the hospital.

The first 28 injured rescue workers, most of whom were firefighters, all died within the next month due to absorbing a huge amount of radiation that far exceeded the human body.

Although the open flame was extinguished, there were approximately 180 to 190 tons of nuclear fuel in Reactor No. 4. The explosion had thrown 8 tons directly into the air, and then high-altitude air currents spread it throughout Europe and even the world. In order to control the spread of pollutants, the Soviet Air Force took over the responsibility of firefighters. They need to manually drop 80 kilograms of sandbags from the air as well as lead blocks, 6,000 tons of borax and concrete to seal the exposed core.

The Soviet pilots knew before setting off that this mission would face invisible, lethal radiation, which was more dangerous than any battlefield they had visited before. In order to deliver accurately, Soviet Air Force Major General Antoshkin personally flew the plane to the edge of the fire field where high temperature and radiation were extreme.

Although they were at an altitude of 200 meters, the amount of radiation there was at least 1,000 roentgens, and exposure here for half an hour was enough to be fatal. The pilots absorbed 5 to 6 roentgens on each trip. Some pilots fly as many as 33 times a day. After a few missions, the pilots began to vomit, and if they stayed any longer, the radiation would eat away at the muscles and burn the bones. This group of Soviet soldiers took turns taking turns, dispatching 110 aircraft on the first day, 300 aircraft on the second day... In the entire rescue operation, so far, they have flown a total of 3,000 times.

The same is true for the chemical defense forces. During the operation to measure the level of nuclear radiation, General Pikarov, commander of the Soviet chemical defense forces, single-handedly covered all areas suspected of severe nuclear radiation contamination. He said at the time: "I am already old and may only have a few years to live. The hope of life is left to young commanders and fighters! Only after paying such a heavy price did the hole that was blasted in the reactor be completely sealed.

It's just that the outside world doesn't know about it yet, and even little Ustinov has only a partial understanding of it. After all, the special system of the Soviet Union made it difficult for the outside world to obtain their information.

Now that you know what needs to be done, things will be easier to handle. And the Soviet Union cannot continue to hide it, after all, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Blix is ​​also present at this moment. If they continue to hide it, they will really become sinners of the entire human race.

Ustinov Jr.: "Assemble protective clothing immediately. The highest level of protective clothing is required."

Hearing this, the people below were a little embarrassed. After all, the Soviet Union does not have many reserves of the highest level of protective clothing. This thing is basically useless at ordinary times. In their hearts, there is probably no one who dares to throw an atomic bomb on the head of the great Soviet Union. Moreover, protective clothing has a service life. The higher the grade, the more valuable it is.

The highest level of protective clothing currently on the market has a storage life of no more than 5 years. The high cost and short lifespan are really not accepted by big countries. But the subordinates can only bite the bullet and go ahead. After all, Chernobyl is extremely urgent now, but there can't be any delay.

Then he ordered other departments to cooperate fully; all work must be completed according to the specified time.

The Minister of Coal Industry was very reluctant to receive the order, but at this moment he had to do the work of communicating with the miners.

400 miners were immediately recruited to dig a tunnel from the ground and install a liquid nitrogen heat exchanger in it to prevent reactor fuel from seeping into the ground.

The surface is lava, and the temperature in the underground tunnels is over fifty degrees. They had no access to any cooling equipment, and almost all the miners took off their clothes and worked shirtless. This is equivalent to completely exposing themselves to nuclear radiation, but they don't care, because this is how their fathers mined.

At first, the coal industry minister did not tell them what kind of work would be done.

The miner captain then said: It is best to tell the truth when dealing with miners, because "those people work in the dark and they can see through everything."

Ten thousand miners responded to the call of the Soviet government to dig underground cooling channels. They endured hypoxia, high temperatures, and nuclear radiation far higher than normal, and finally dug a 150-meter tunnel to the bottom of Reactor No. 4. More than a quarter of these miners did not live past the age of 40.

Hero miner Vladimir Nikolayevich-Naumov recalled: "We were given a serious and important task, and in general very few people knew about it. I will start from here, to cut out the miners The people at Chernobyl are all outstanding excavation workers and volunteers who have been strictly selected by the party committee!"

They knew the danger but were willing to do it, more magnanimously than anyone else. The Soviets were both individualistically aggressive and accepting of collectivist sacrifices.

It can be said that this is a very remarkable group of people, which is very admirable.

Ustinov Jr. immediately reported the relevant situation to Moscow; when he learned that the nuclear power plant accident was level 7, the highest level, the top Soviet officials could not sit still. Materials from across the country were immediately mobilized to try to minimize the damage of the accident.

At the same time, the local people were ordered to evacuate, and other European countries were notified; and the whole world was notified. European countries have even fallen into panic. After all, no one can guarantee whether nuclear radiation will float over their own countries.

Therefore, apart from humanitarian reasons, they did not dare to provide too many protective materials to the Soviets. People are selfish and worry that if nuclear radiation appears in their country, there will definitely not be enough protective clothing.

This is not the time to be loyal or show off as a hero; when a disaster strikes, saving one's life may be more important than anything else.

This put great pressure on the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the one hand, Chernobyl continued to press for various supplies; on the other hand, European countries refused to release strategic reserve supplies for self-protection.

You must know that every day of delay will lead to the death of hundreds or thousands of people. But even if they use the most rudimentary protective measures, the Soviets still have no hesitation; this spirit is very rare.

At the same time, little Ustinov was very anxious. After all, the rescuers who were able to rush to the front were the bravest soldiers in the Soviet Union. Their lives were precious!

I need to consult a lot of historical data, otherwise I really don’t know how to write it. I’m very sorry!
