From Muan Airport to Haneda Airport, when I was carrying nuclear equipment,

Only two hours left to reactor threshold.

Tokyo Bay Public Importance Stage 12.

The head of the Pohang R&D center, who was standing next to him, handed the capsule over with water.

Hope took it unwittingly.

The English notation of the capsule packaging was familiar.

Potassium iodide was also given this pill during the English notation, the nuclear backpack terrorist attack.

Hope put the capsule in his mouth and swallowed it with water.

As the cold chill burns down my mouth, my mind flashes.

At the pier, visible outside the aircraft window, people in radiological protective clothing hang on the submarine deck.

Now we only have two hours left.

Do we just have to get out of here? ’

I hesitated too much because I didn't have time.

Theoretically, there are two hours to the threshold, but the truth is, I have no idea when it will explode.

Expensive vaults that don't know when a very dangerous bomb is going to explode.

You have to decide whether to continue or quit.

“What if... what if it explodes? ”

The head of the center took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

“The fuel rods of conventional nuclear power stations and the fuel rods of nuclear submarines differ in their own composition.

Nuclear power stations use low-enriched uranium to make it as safe as possible.

Nuclear submarine reactors are not.

Use high uranium fuels to boost performance to the smallest size possible.

That's why submarines have powerful outputs, even with small reactors. ”

“So that nuclear submarine is far more dangerous than a nuclear power plant. ”

“.. yes. When the reactor's steel vessel explodes over the threshold,

Explosions are likely to progress very rapidly. ”

“So can we shut that down in two hours? ”

“It's not possible with personnel. ”

“Do I have to... withdraw? ”

“I recommend withdrawal if I can. ”

“Umm...”

Hope was conflicting.

I don't know if I should withdraw.

Theoretically, the physical shutdown is impossible.

However, there are still Americans and Russians working inside the organ room and there are two hours left.

Until then, I decided to try my best.

In the submarine's engine room are Mitchell and Michael, three Navy Seal crew members in radioactive protective clothing,

Two Russian institutionalists are working in sweat.

As the temperature of the reactor increased rapidly, the temperature of the combustion chamber also increased rapidly.

In addition to such hot temperatures, all those wearing radioactive protective clothing are sweaty.

Even under those worst conditions, the reactor controller's emergency repair work did not stop.

The mechanic carefully removed the broken substrate from the shotgun.

It was a broken wire to connect an alternate substrate.

The substrate made by researcher Michael was spiked and flowered into the reactor control console.

Press the console button and the green power light comes on.

Everyone sighed in relief.

“I've finally replaced the control board. ”

“All right, once the power comes in...”

“We need to check the system now. ”

A Russian seaman swallowed the saliva and actuated the system check buttons on the substrate.

Four green lights connected to the reactor control board came on simultaneously.

It's a normal operating signal.

“Whoo-hoo! That's it, we're alive now,

Drop the control rod on the reactor immediately. ”

“Yes, it's urgent. ”

Michael and Mitchell urged Russian sailors.

The crew carefully pulled the emergency shutdown lever upwards.

The shutdown lever turns off the electromagnet holding the control rod.

The yellow light flashes as the lever goes up to the end.

The electromagnet is switched off and an emergency drop of the control rod is triggered.

“Did you succeed?”

“I don't know, we still have to wait about 20 seconds for the neutrons to completely eat on the control rod. ”

“... ”

They were restless and waited more than 20 seconds for the control rod to function properly.

It's been five minutes past 20 seconds.

The reactor temperature did not drop, but began to rise slightly.

Scales that are starting to move to red.

I threw the control rod, but it started to panic when there was no change.

“What? What happened? Why isn't the control rod working? ”

“Damn it, the electromagnet must have melted with a short.

Or a bunch of control rods pressed against the reactor lid. ”

It was a mechanical failure when the Russian crew recovered the control console and found it inoperative.

It was a really serious problem that I couldn't handle anymore.

“Wha the puck, what about the reactor? ”

Navy Seal crew looked at the Russian sailor and asked.

“If the control rod is not plugged into the furnace, the neutrons will eventually collapse and the fuel rod will melt.

Next thing you know, the reactor's courage is broken and quack!

Everything flies, and the machine is broken, so I can't touch it anymore. ”

“This is a big deal. The reactor temperature is rising steeper than I thought. ”

Michael nods at Mitchell.

“The reactor is now beyond the control of the controller here,

Shutdown is not possible unless a person enters directly and plugs a bundle of control rods into the center of the furnace. ” ”

The members of the seal did not abandon their last fool by looking at the control panel.

“So there's no way to shut down the reactor anymore? ”

“We can't handle it anymore. Let's get out of here before we're exposed to radiation.

Inform the monster hunter that he has failed. ”

“Oh my!”

Eventually, researchers and sailors hurriedly withdrew from the engine room.

Reactor shutdown failed.

Seal team members and researchers boarded the Blackhawk helicopter and took off from the submarine.

Now there's only an hour and 20 minutes left until the explosion.

The only hope left at the end is the monster hunter.

More than 20 HGD1Rs and two HR1Rs were deployed over the submarine deck.

He asked the head of the R&D centre what he hoped to do with the remote control within the aircraft.

“Okay, what do we do now? ”

“Yes, Mr. Hope, once we have a hole in the upper deck of the reactor zone.

so that you can pour water and cool the temperature of the vessel. ”

“... that reminds me of a fire truck in Fukushima. ”

“Yes, similar to that.

First, you have to drill enough holes to get into the fire lake. ”

“Okay, so the plasma cutter joystick perforates and cuts this side and this side. ”

“Yes, commander. ”

“And the rest of HR1 and HGD1, walk through the latches and restraint nets to stop the cut steel plate from falling down and hitting the reactor. ”

“Yes."

Commanded HGD1s began drilling holes in the submarine's top plate with plasma cutters.

Pre-working to spray water and cool the reactor.

The high temperature plasma was brought to the deck, and thick black rubber plates burned, causing mechahan black smoke to rise.

It was a postponement enough to disrupt the work because I couldn't see straight ahead.

“This is too much smoke. Instructor."

“What about the laser cutter? ”

“Laser cutters are hard in case there's a hole in the reactor. ”

“Oops... I don't have time. ”

When even the basic work of puncturing with unexpected fumes became difficult,

Hope bites her lips without even knowing it.

Then I thought to myself,

I was forgetting the versus necrotic stage FS01A of HR1 cutting anything.

“That's what happened.

HR1Rs kick rubber soundproofing boards with high-speed chainsaws. ”

“Do you want to cut to the top plate? ”

“No.

Then it's dangerous for the top plate piece to fall into the reactor, so just kick out the soundproofing board. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I took a quick chain saw, but the rubber tiles went out neatly.

Then the hidden golden fuselage was revealed.

A unique color for titanium carbide thin films.

“All right, plasma cutter, let's start with the hole. ”

“Yes, sir."

HGD1Rs brought the plasma cutter over the hull.

All 2 holes must be drilled in the hull.

This is because there are two pressurized water reactors mounted on the submarine.

Supporting position ~

A powerful plasma flame heats up the ship.

However, the crew carrying the plasma cutter began to panic.

“Teacher..! This doesn't cut very well. It's weird.”

“I can't believe you're not getting fired, what does that mean? ”

“That's weird. It doesn't look like the outside of the submarine is steel. ”

Hope rushed to the cutting site by moving HGD1R.

Teammates with cutters are eating their children on a rolled steel plate.

“What the hell is this? No way...”

A golden fuselage revealed between cut rubber tiles on a chain saw,

Titanium carbide, an endothelial coating, is a unique feature.

But what about the fuselage itself, not the golden coating?

“No way this doesn't make sense.

The whole fuselage isn't titanium, is it? ”

Hope was an absurd imagination.

No matter how much you look at it,

If the entire submarine is really titanium, what happens now can be explained.

The melting point of iron is 1,535 degrees.

However, the melting point of the titanium alloy is up to 2,300 degrees depending on the type.

The melting point is 800 degrees higher than normal iron.

Of course, it doesn't cut very well with a plasma cutter.

“No way, I thought it was a titanium carbide coating... It's really pure titanium...!

That's why the Russians bet four billion dollars on these old-fashioned submarines! ”

48,000-tonne nuclear submarine made of titanium.

The value would be priceless with money.

Whether the equipment inside is old or new, it is no longer a problem.

The titanium alloy fuselage itself is great.

The interior parts are just the right level of wallpaper to buy a superfluous mansion.

The strongest stealth submarine fuselage capable of diving more than 1,200 meters without MAD detection.

What do you need to say? The fuselage itself is the strongest.

“Argh!”

Hope sits down with a soft heart.

This submarine is titanium.

Thermal conductivity is therefore also close to extreme when compared with steel.

like two reactors in a giant, heat-insulating flask.

The stronger the reactor is heated, the faster the time to reach the explosion threshold.

“In fact, we have less than an hour until the reactor explodes!

No, it could explode in 30 minutes. ”

The count now leaves an hour and 15 minutes to the threshold.

However, I can no longer trust the count.

The fate of the submarine depends on how high the internal temperature of the reactor zone has risen.

The dazzling hopes shut down HGD1R in its place.

Then he opened the hatch of the remote control and ran towards XHGD3.

“Commander Hope, where are you going? ”

The head of the in-flight R&D centre and researchers united in calling for hope.

“.. turn off the reactor. ”

I closed the hatch with a word of it.

XHGD3 was booted with ether gear.

Hope jumped under the airship, kicking the waistband for XHGD3.

Whirlich!

Shh.

The wings expanded and the fusion impulse engine accelerated the gas.

Kwung!

XHGD3 fell on deck.

The rubber soundproofing pad ran out and crushed the lower body.

Hope was centered, stomping on it without difficulty.

I felt a bad energy inside the submarine.

Neutrons emanating from the fuel rods in the reactor vessel.

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

The main weapon of the horse-drawn horse has been pulled from the waist.

It is also a glow plug that is slowly pulled out due to the nature of the rectangle.

Hope stands at the center of the reactor zone.

The eyes of the unmanned HGD1R and HR1 were plugged into the only mannequin on the deck.

Phase 1 of the XHGD3 prototype, named Huang.

Ahhhhh!

A simple movement that draws from top to bottom.

The titanium deck was neatly split with a rubber soundproofing pad.

The same movement followed three times, resulting in a cruciform crack on the deck.

“... Hope, what are you trying to do? ”

“.. into the reactor zone. HR1, and HGD1 steel plates,

No, put the titanium panels aside. ”

“Yes, sir."

The unmanned aircraft grabbed the parlour between the clear-cut panels and lifted it.

More than 20 tons of trials were heard easily.

The reactor area that was exposed with less negotiation in the last fist.

The second stage reactor was hanging up with a hot earthworm.

Hope jumped down.

The jumped XHGD3 wreath swings on the floor.

The bundle of control rods at the top of the reactor and the electromagnet module seemed to split apart.

A control rod that falls like a fall down.

Kugoong!

With a slight impact, the control rod entered the reactor hole.

Another swayed battalion.

Another control rod covered the top of the reactor.

Spot!

A furnace that suddenly dropped the control rod of a two-stage reactor and soared into the sky.

Researchers at the nuclear R&D centre who were watching it on board could not keep their mouths shut.

“Is that possible? ”

It's like a comic book superhero.

Take the submarine's lid with the knife.

You go inside and you put a control rod in the reactor in an instant.

It popped out again in an instant.

It was all happening in just over 20 seconds.

“How is that possible? ”

The control rod plunges into the fuel rod and sees the rapidly cooling reactor on the screen of the airship.

Researchers were confused with their heads.

What I just did was unrealistic, as you can see from the CG scene.

Theoretically and scientifically, the impossible has passed.

If such a method had been possible in reality, no Chernobyl or Fukushima would have happened.

But hope just did it.

It's in a really ridiculous way.

I grabbed it with a knife and sticked it out.

That was the end.

The crisis has passed, but nuclear scientists and researchers have suddenly made it all futile.

Hope was so extraordinary that it put researchers on the bare roof.

Reviews

Where do we use the submarine? I wonder that, too.
