"Death is the fairest thing in the world. No one could escape the entanglement of death. Everyone would eventually return to the soil--the kind, the cruel, the guilty. Nothing in the world was fair except death.”
"The Mourning Song of Siberia."
......
On the night of May 14th, 1986, a person's image appeared on every TV screen that was turned on.
The two-year-old Natalia (the future Black Widow) stared at the television screen in her parents 'arms. The heavy worry on her parents' faces made her seem very uneasy.
Following his parents 'line of sight, he saw a person talking on the television screen.
That was the highest leader here.
On this night, the supreme leader finally announced something that the people of the world were very concerned about through a television speech.
"Good night, comrades. 18 days ago, the accident at the nuclear power plant in Moscow attracted global attention. For the first time, we are facing the danger of nuclear power being out of human control. We worked day and night. The entire country's economic, technical, and scientific teams had come to save this disaster. The entire country had been mobilized. Bureaucracy was put aside. No matter who contributed, we would ask for it immediately. At this moment, we don't care about the cost. We will take out whatever we need. We are at the front line.”
This was the first time the top leader had spoken publicly, and it had been 18 days since the level-seven nuclear accident.
Those were the eighteen days of hell.
Time returned to April 26, 1986, 1 AM.
Late at night, the vast majority of the tens of thousands of residents had already fallen asleep.
This nuclear power plant represented the successful use of nuclear energy for peaceful construction. As it developed, it displayed the most cutting-edge technology of mankind.
Its name was, of course, the city of Chernobylr.
At 1:19 a. m., when most of the citizens had fallen asleep.
The experiment began.
"Report! Number 4 generator set has been shut down!"
"Report! Testing the nuclear reactor's turbine generator, everything was normal!”
"Very good. We'll start reducing the power supply now. If anything else happens, cancel it immediately!”
At this moment, 176 staff members were still working overtime.
This nuclear power plant was made up of four reactors, providing 10% of the country's electricity. It was many times larger than the small nuclear reactor on the chest of the future " Iron Man," but the energy difference was not big.
At this moment.
The technicians wanted to test whether the turbine generator could generate enough power to supply the reactor's safety system when there was insufficient power.
"Begin the experiment." The chief engineer ordered.
This experiment was to operate the reactor at a lower power, reducing the energy of the reactor from 3200 megavolts to 700 megavolts.
When the order was given, the technicians began to quickly reduce the power of the reactor.
"Report! The Xenon-135 in the nuclear reactor was rapidly increasing!”A surveillance personnel hurriedly reported.
This was the product of nuclear fission formed by the attraction of neutrons. It was due to the rapid contact of the control rod that the element suddenly increased.
"What's going on?" the chief engineer asked.
"Report, the control rod was inserted too quickly, causing this product to be formed quickly. According to safety regulations, we need to shut down the reactor!”
Shut down?
The chief engineer glared at that person. If the reactor was shut down, the experiment would fail, and it would mean that all the resources and time had been wasted.
"We can't stop! Now that the control rod was withdrawn, the by-products should be reduced to a normal level.”
"Theoretically, it should be possible.”The technician nodded.
"Continue the experiment!"
1:22 AM.
Pulling out the control rod, the pressure reached a critical point, and the heat wave rose.
The heart of the furnace was brewing with fervor. The smallest, most terrifying, and invisible danger was approaching.
People were anticipating whether this would be a cheer or the beginning of despair.
At this moment, the meter did not show any abnormalities. But what they didn't know was that something had happened to the nuclear reactor.
This was the consequence of the technology being immature.
Faced with such a situation, humans frantically tried many things.
If Godzilla was here, he would have scolded them for being stupid, because Godzilla had an organ structure similar to a nuclear reactor in his body.
The nuclear reactor was already in chaos.
" Power continues to rise!"
"The experiment is going smoothly!"
Time ticked by, and it was almost 1:23 pm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, there was a series of earthquakes, as if they had been hit by some giant creature.
"Report! The temperature of the fuel in the nuclear reactor was rising rapidly!!”
At that moment, the alarm rang loudly, calling for an internal imbalance.
The technician took a deep breath and pressed the " emergency stop " button.
But the steam was still jumping and surging, and the rotating machine was giving off intense fanaticism.
However, the next moment, it was a situation that no one had expected.
"Boom!"
The temperature of the nuclear fuel in the reactor instantly rose from 330C to 2000C! Like an exploding balloon, the roof of the nuclear plant was immediately blown off. A large amount of nuclear materials were lost on the spot, and the nuclear core was exposed to the air. Terrifying blue and white rays shot into the sky. It was the rays emitted by radioactive elements!
The scene froze at this moment.
As the roof exploded, the exposed high-temperature graphene blocks of the reactor instantly combined with oxygen, causing a terrifying fire.
