“That's disgusting...”

“.. what do you want us to do? ”

“Yes."

Dr. Nam, JiHoon and Changsoo agreed.

You want me to find a hidden nuclear bomb?

I have no idea where to start.

Navis is the best research institute and technology company in Korea.

However, there is almost no knowledge or technology of nuclear.

It was only a few weeks ago that the nuclear research and D centre was set up due to reprocessing and nuclear purification facility issues.

“Can't we find the radiation detector on Dr. Nam's stables? ”

JiHoon asks. Nam shook his head wide.

“No, it's not a specialized detector, it's just a small nuclear detector with military weapons. ”

“.... ”

Both Dr. Nam and the four men continue their silence.

If it's a monster, I'll do it as a horseman, but I don't get a sense of how to touch it.

Dr. Nam doesn't seem to have a sharp point this time either.

It appears to be a matter for a specialized nuclear terrorism response team rather than a Mahjong team.

“Why did you ask us to look for this? ”

“Changsoo, you want to catch a jigsaw or something.

I mean, I woke up to NEST and WC135 in the United States, but I can't find it. ”

“Hull NEST isn't America's elite nuclear crisis response team? ”

“Yes, there. ”

“If you can't find it there, it must be serious.”

“Yes."

“By the way, isn't Ilsan Kintex dangerous?

That's where our team and the simulators are. ”

“Ugh, I see. I'll have to move half the simulator somewhere else first. ”

Hope immediately contacted the Air and Special Operations teams to order a move.

And it turns out that in a few small nuclear backpacks, all of Korea is under threat.

“Damn it, our headquarters is in danger.

I don't think there's a lunatic who can blow up a shabby headquarters...

No, it's crazy to bomb yourself with a nuclear backpack. ”

At that moment, Dr. Nam felt a terrifying thought.

No one knows what those lunatics are going to do.

Because it is impossible to predict what to do.

Besides, he's not just a lunatic.

Highly trained elite lunatics.

“But you have to leave the airport for a hundred days to learn something about the nucleus.

Do you have a nuclear detection plane like WC135, or do you want to know about nuclear theory? ”

“Dr. Nam, we still need to call a nuclear expert. ”

“Yeah, let's do that. ”

Hope immediately summoned an aviation team to bring in nuclear R&D center researchers in Port Hope.

9th WC135 above Seoul.

Sergeant John Smith, who was monitoring the floating radioactive markers on the panel, pulled his tongue out.

“Shh! Seoul in South Korea is covered with all kinds of radioactivity. ”

I didn't see as much radioactive material distributed around the city as I did here.

Of course, other ordinary metropolitan cities also distribute radioactive markers, but not as much as Seoul.

There are so many radioactive devices in every hospital.

I didn't know if there were too many high-tech equipment in every hospital like Korea, or if it was for other reasons.

This made it difficult for the radiation sensor to detect the exact position.

If two radioisotopes are present within a kilometer radius, it is difficult for the sensing sensor to distinguish them.

In particular, the accuracy is even less among concrete buildings.

So the radioactive radar panel was covered with all kinds of radioactive markings.

Thousands of radioisotopes.

In this way, it is virtually the same as not finding out where to hide it.

“Wha the Hell... how do you expect me to find this red dot? ”

“Shh, I don't know about that,

It is a city with many skyscrapers and well-developed underground structures.

Well, the NEST team will figure it out. We're gonna keep exploring. ”

WC135 was circling over Seoul without finding nuclear weapons like that.

Nuclear engineers have just arrived at Muan Airport and come to the conference room.

“This is Dr. Le Dorleen. ”

Side to side

The white-haired Frenchman with gold glasses greeted Dr. Nam with a cheek instead of a handshake.

Dr. Nam also made a sound with his mouth to suit the formalities.

Side to side

“I'm Dr. Nam. Let's talk about this first because it's urgent. ”

“Yes.”

“Because it's urgent, I'll skip the procedure and ask straight away.

How do I find a nuclear backpack? ”

Dr. Nam asked. Your gaze is drawn to Dr. Dorlean.

He briefly organized his thoughts and began to draw something on the electronic chalkboard.

“Let me briefly describe the nuclear detection process.

Nuclear weapons are largely divided into the uranium and the flotonium families.

You know, nuclear material decays naturally, and it emits radiation.

Radioactivity splits back into alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons, and x-rays. ”

“So what if we find the radiation? ”

“Yes.

If we can locate the radiation coming from the collapse of nuclear material with nuclear sensors or radars, we can see that. ”

“Then why can't you find it? It's floating all the way up to WC135 in Seoul. ”

When Hope asked for a moment, the doctor cleared up his thoughts and answered.

“It involves a number of complex issues.

Significant errors occur in the range detected by the detection radar.

Especially in high-rise buildings like Seoul, where concrete collapses naturally and radiation gets worse.

Concrete and iron radiate, but at the same time they also act as shields.

Where there is radioisotope equipment, the error becomes even worse. ”

“Hmm. But it's a nuclear weapon, and it's extremely radioactive, isn't it?

Radiation's strong, so I think we'll find it in no time. ”

“At least a 20-kiloton nuclear warhead would reduce the error.

Finding only 1.5 kilotonnes of Plotonium seems to be the limit.

Virtually impossible to detect with current technology. ”

“... very undetectable? ”

“Yes, it's almost impossible to detect a nuclear weapon unless it's a fixed muon scanning device that's installed on the floor of the road and scanned.

Especially when you're buried in a pile of metal or underground, the probability converges to zero. ”

“Oh, my God...! ”

All four people were shocked, according to the doctor.

According to this, we should actually look at it with our hands until the nuclear weapon explodes.

“Doctor, isn't there a way? ”

“I'm so sorry.

In fact, the best way to search for nuclear weapons now is not to rely on specialized nuclear weapons detection devices.

Rather, it appears to be much more efficient to utilize mobile X-ray projectors or military dogs. ”

Dr. Dorlean also said to Nam with a grumpy look about nuclear weapons.

Dr. Nam Ji Hoon Changsoo and hope were all oblivious.

In fact, this led to the disappearance of a nuclear backpack called the Cold War Suitcase Newark.

Because the nuclear backpack is a weapon of terror that is very hard to detect until it explodes.

Nam opened his mouth only after holding his teeth for a while with a gloomy expression.

“Umm... I see. Thank you very much.

Doctor, please work hard until a good solution is found. ”

“Yes, Dr. Nam, I will do my best. ”

After Dr. Dorlean and the nuclear scientists left the conference room, four people practically fell in love with Menbun.

“If you don't know how many nuclear weapons there are and where they are...”

“There's no way to stop it from exploding. ”

“Yes.”

“Shouldn't we start evacuating first? ”

“Then it'll explode right away. Can you just stay?”

After all, four people could not take any measures.

Navis is in this situation and there was no pointed way to call it another institution.

We were forced to rely on aircraft like WC135, especially if we were to launch a nuclear test in downtown Seoul because of catastrophic consequences.

Working hours before sundown.

Police are blocking the road and cracking down on alcohol.

Otherwise, the drivers are annoyed to see the police cracking down on their cars.

“Ah, what time is it, and you're already drunk? ”

Bread! Bread!

“It's not over yet.

They say taxes don't work these days, but what about taxes? ”

Drivers react to drinking crackdowns, annoying each other.

Behind the police car is a stranger Ben.

Inside Ben, a special member in black and white looks at the monitor screen.

Trunks and engines in the vehicle illuminate the monitor screen.

“3024 normal. ”

The officer who is delivered with the earphones shakes his hand.

Standing behind a car is a truck.

While the officer turns off the time while talking, the officer checks the monitor.

I can't see the inside of the container because of the lumps.

X-ray detectors are also useless in front of scrap metal.

“4344 Visual inspection wind. ”

The cop who heard the call told the driver.

“Could you give me a moment?

This is a special cargo hold period, so I'll check the status of the overload. ”

“She's busy right now. ”

“I'd like to thank the driver for a moment. ”

Traffic Officers inspect the rare metal between the black rubber rope and the bare eye.

It's scrap metal.

I stepped on the loading vessel footing and hovered, but all I could see was scrap metal.

Rusty scrap pulls out.

The officer covering the horn again approached the driver.

“Yes, no more loading. You can go.”

The police turned their gaze to inspect the next car.

The truck left.

The man in the passenger seat looks at the rear of the person caught in the rear mirror.

The scrap metal was dropped from the truck.

Two people entered the scrap yard container after finishing the work.

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

One of them opened his mouth.

“I see the Namjosun Americans have noticed. ”

“Comrade, how could you...”

“Wasn't the car standing in the back of the police car an x-ray fighter?

I can't believe you didn't recognize that, but after eating the Namjosun water, your mind armed has collapsed. ”

The owner of the scrap iron made an impression.

“And I found it suspicious to drink in broad daylight.

So what did you do now? ”

“Comrade, you're ready to die. ”

“Girum?”

“Isn't it time to put a splinter in your heart? ”

The eyes of a madman head toward the owner of a scrap metal.

The owner of the scrap metal statue was frightened all over by the frenzied young eyes.
