Chapter 1144: The Reactor Is Like A Furnace

The conversation with Gatorov lasted about half an hour.

Besonova had tried her best, not only to convey Gatorov's words to the coconut, but also to ask Gatorov the questions he had received from the coconut, so she was tired of coming down, especially since many professional terms heard her all kinds of dizziness, but in order to play the role now, she had to make a pair all over her chest.

But she also took the opportunity to learn a little bit about how nuclear power plants work.

As a person living in Pripyati, Besonova also knows, of course, that the existence of the city is inseparable from the nuclear power plant three kilometres away. After all, the first inhabitants to settle here were mainly the construction workers and workers of the nuclear power plant, whose lives revolved around the construction and operation of the nuclear power plant, and they have long been accustomed to its existence.

With regard to the safety of nuclear power plants, N.M. Sinev, Vice-President of the National Commission on the Use of Nuclear Energy, said so.

The reactor is like a stove, and the operator of the reactor is the equivalent of a stove.

So in the understanding of Besonova and the vast majority of ordinary people, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is a large furnace, not much different from other thermal plants.

And both the Eastern and Western worlds have had decades of exploration and use of nuclear energy, and technology is becoming more sophisticated. In addition to the unfortunate nuclear accident that recently occurred on Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania, the nuclear power plant is indeed safe for most of the time, especially in SL itself, where there have been few reports of nuclear power plant accidents before Besonova.

The plans for the construction of nuclear power plants have been steadily advancing, and indeed the completion of those plants has greatly eased electrical tensions throughout SL, and Besonova, like the rest of the SL population, is proud of the country's achievements in the use of nuclear energy.

However, after listening to Gatorov's response to the Group, Besonova realized that the nuclear power plant did not seem as safe as she had always imagined, at least the reactors and boilers in Chernobyl were not quite the same. Although steam engines were powered by steam, this was perhaps the only thing they had in common.

Fortunately, according to Gatorov, the nuclear accident, although apparently serious, ended up not so bad, blowing up a water tank, destroying the roof, and radiation leakage at the scene, but the dosage was modest and largely under control.

However, the players kept asking whether the Gatorov reactor was really intact, as he said, and Besonova smelled something unusual.

…………

After questioning Gatorov, the crowd did not immediately go to Asimov and Toptunov, but exchanged opinions and, most importantly, let the coconuts catch their breath, who by now had removed their masks and threw up in the trash can.

“What do you think?” The doctor asked.

What do you think of him, of course, is not asking Zhang Heng how he sees the reality of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant today, because everyone from 30 years later knows that it was the reactor that blew up in the early morning of April 26, not to mention the fact that they were there, witnessing this tragic scene with their own eyes, and having been exposed to enough lethal radiation, the coconut hand just rubbed a little skin, and now it hasn't completely stopped the bleeding, and it looks worse.

Zhang Heng thought, “Gatorov lied, which is certain, but for the time being it is not known which parts of his narrative are authentic and which are fabricated, give the coconut a break, then we can talk to Akimov and Toptunov and get their testimonies and compare them to each other. ”

Unfortunately [Oath Ring] is now used on Besonova, Zhang Heng can only test the interlocutor's lies by observation and comparison.

He went on to say, "We do have an advantage in investigating Chernobyl, because we already know the results ahead of time, and there are many analyses and speculations for future generations, but there are also disadvantages on our side, and the biggest difficulty is that none of us are nuclear physics experts or designers of nuclear power plants.

“I also listened carefully to Gatorov's introduction, including how the graphite slow-down boiling water reactor works, and this safety experiment, and although it roughly figured out what they were doing, it was far from clear what was happening in the reactor at the time, and what was the reason for the Chernobyl accident. ”

The coconut threw up pretty much this time, and he raised his head, “We've talked to Gatorov, but I haven't gotten any system cues, have you? ”

“Neither did I.” The doctor shook his head.

“Does that mean we can exclude Gatorov?” Coconut asked, “At least it shows that he wasn't the main person responsible for the accident, and although I didn't like him very much, the bastard always deliberately took himself out of the middle in the narrative just now, and he wasn't there ‘just in time' at a few key points, either when the reactor power dropped rapidly or later pressed the emergency power drop button, he either inspected the outside or was looking at the dashboard, but anyway, after talking to him, the system didn't react much. ”

“It is not yet easy to say," Doctor frowned, "the main task description is particularly simple, with only one sentence - to find key people, but there are many definitions, both ‘find’ and ‘key people', especially ‘find’, and if referring to the fact that our investigation identified the main responsible person, then it is clear that the conversation just now was not enough, because Gatorov's own account suggests that he was not very responsible for the accident. ”

Coconut punched him in the closet not far away with his unharmed hand, "Call Akimov and Toptunov. ”

“Are you sure? You have less than five minutes to rest, we still have time.” Zhang Hengdao.

“No, my condition is fine. ”

“Well, if you really can't hold up, we can interrupt the interview.” The doctor said, and then he made a gesture to Besonova, letting him yell for someone to come in.

Besonova's eyes flashed with anxiety. She didn't know what the players were saying, but she could also see that the first conversation did not meet their expectations. In fact, the nurse was a little confused at this time. From the moment of her abduction, she had been speculating about Zhang Hengyi's identity, but still had no idea.
