Chapter 835 Crazy Adventure (asking for monthly ticket)

The biting cold wind was howling, and the 722 Research Base, which had experienced aftershocks again, seemed to have been rubbed by a giant hand. It was devastated and silent.

Even so, Gu Ji still did not stop.

Perhaps it was because he had personally experienced the horror of radiation many times during the virus checkpoint in Nepal, so his psychological endurance is naturally different now.

Gao Bo followed behind him, moving forward with difficulty in the ruins.

Every step felt like walking on thin ice that could collapse at any time, making a "crunching" sound that was particularly abrupt in the dead of night.

The Geiger counters in their hands became the most terrifying alarm bells at this moment.

The constantly fluctuating and rising radiation values ​​were like a death warrant.

As the two approached the ruins of the research institute step by step, the beeping of the Geiger counter became more and more rapid and the frequency became higher and higher. The sharp sound echoed in the empty ruins, making people shudder.

Finally, the two arrived at the ruins.

The wreckage of the collapsed buildings was scattered everywhere, like the shattered body of a giant after it fell.

In the ruins, many broken silver metal tanks were lying in a mess. The thick golden liquid in the tanks was slowly flowing out, mixing with a large amount of nuclear radioactive waste on the ground. Under the erosion of rain and snow, it emitted a strange light.

Gao Bo looked at the scene in front of him, and his horror reached its peak.

At this time, the value of the Geiger counter had exceeded the limit, reaching 10.2 millisieverts per hour, as if announcing that they were on the edge of hell.

This is close to the radiation intensity during the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident.

This means that once the human body is irradiated, it will only take a very short time for the cells to be destroyed by this extremely strong radiation.

Although the chemical protective suits they wear can provide a certain degree of protection, they seem so thin and fragile in the face of the strong radiation that penetrates almost everywhere.

Gao Bo knew very well that in this ruin that was completely contaminated by radiation, every extra second he stayed would increase the risk of being harmed by radiation.

But with a mission to accomplish, they now had to suppress their inner fears and conduct a careful investigation and record everything.

"Gu Ji, did you find anything?"

"Nothing, Captain Lei is calling us. The radiation here is too strong. Let's go back first!"

Seeing Gu Ji lowering his head and remaining silent for a long time, Gao Bo shouted.

It happened that Lei Wanshan was signaling with a strong flashlight in the distance, reminding them to retreat as soon as possible, so Gu Ji pulled Gao Bo away from the ruins quickly.

The reason why he was distracted just now.

This is because the golden liquid is almost exactly the same as the liquid in the "isomorphic isomer transition device" that Vidi snatched from the Indian branch of the extremist organization Al-Qaeda at the Nepal checkpoint.

Because of the system's judgment mechanism, there will be no prompt for recycled items.

Therefore, Gu Ji was unable to tell for a moment whether the two were the same kind of items.

If that's the case.

The radioactive waste generated from a debris research process can be rated orange and combined into a heaven-defying equipment such as the [ORS Orbital Satellite Radiation Energy Weapon Group];

If he directly recovered the fragments, what kind of terrifying weapon could he create?

But what made Gu Ji feel strange was.

He had clearly seen Director Zheng take the fragment core out of the radiation safety box, but he did not receive any system prompts.

Is there something wrong with the fragments, or is it...

Its level is too high, far beyond the upper limit of the game system's cognition?

"Captain Lei!"

"The leak at the research institute is indeed serious. The radioactive dust on both of you has exceeded the radiation in the surrounding environment!"

As soon as Gu Ji ran back, Director Zheng took the monitoring instrument and took measurements on the two of them.

Lei Wanshan asked about the specific situation.

Gao Bo quickly took out his mobile phone and displayed all the videos and photos he had taken.

After seeing the golden radioactive waste, Director Zheng panicked. His head shook uncontrollably, as if he couldn't bear the result. "No, how could there be so much damage..."

"Director Zheng, is this the radioactive waste you mentioned earlier?"

"Yes."

Facing the questions from Company Commander Li Changshun.

Director Zheng nodded, forced himself to calm down, and began to explain:

"According to normal procedures, the radioactive waste accumulated by our institute needs to be poured into sealed lead cans and transferred to safe landfills on a regular basis and sealed with cement a hundred meters underground. When this 8.0 magnitude earthquake occurred, it happened to be the day when the waste was transferred in batches, so..."

"So that's why there are so many radioactive materials in the institute now?"

Lei Wanshan gave the answer one step ahead.

At this time, Ye Xiaoshu, who was responsible for reporting to the command center, returned with the satellite radio.

"Captain Lei, the command center has received the report. The higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously. The military district has already dispatched chemical defense and engineering forces to provide support. Director Chen has ordered us to handle the radiation leak!"

"understood."

Lei Wanshan turned around and looked at Director Zheng: "Director Zheng, the situation is serious now. Please tell us how to deal with it?"

"The radioactive waste of the institute is not as simple as the traditional nuclear waste. It has extremely strong gamma rays and strong penetrating power. It must be sealed with tungsten or lead metal at ordinary times. In the current emergency, we can bury it with borax or ordinary sand, and then cover it with cement to seal it."

"In this deep forest, let alone borax, we can't even find ordinary sand!"

"And even if there is sand, it's raining so hard now, and once you shovel it up, it will be washed away in a few seconds!"

As soon as these words came out.

This made the surrounding soldiers all feel troubled.

At the critical moment, Li Changshun stood up, with unquestionable majesty in his tone:

"We are soldiers, and soldiers must obey military orders. I don't care how heavy the rain is. Since our superiors have asked us to solve the problem of radiation spread, we have to plug the hole even if we have to bury it with our hands!!"

"Yes! Company commander!"

As soon as the military order was issued.

The air crew soldiers present immediately straightened their backs collectively, with determination and unyielding spirit in their eyes, as if they were ready to pounce on the action as soon as the order was given.

Just as Li Changshun said.

As soldiers, they must complete their mission no matter how great the difficulties are.

"Gu Ji, you've been watching for so long, is there any good solution?"

Pasili on the side seemed to have been observing for a long time. Seeing that Gu Ji had been staring at the west side of the ruins of the research institute, he couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he said this.

This immediately attracted many people to look over.

Everyone present knew that Gu Ji had a sharp mind, and the more critical the moment, the more ideas he would come up with.

Lei Wanshan's pupils shrank slightly.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he must be hesitant, so he said: "Gu Ji, just say whatever you think."

"Yes, Captain Lei."

Gu Ji picked up Gao Bo's phone again, comparing the picture with the real scene in the distance:

"Look at the structure diagram of the institute's ruins. The west is high and the east is low. The location of the radioactive waste is at the lowest point in the center. I have calculated the height of the pile of ruins on the west side. If we can use it, it will just be enough to bury the exposed waste."

"But the ruins are so large that even if we work together to dig, we don't have enough manpower."

"Yes, and most of the ruins are made of bricks and cement, which are very hard. It's actually easier to dig than mud and sand!"

Several of the Air Service Regiment soldiers subconsciously raised questions.

But Lei Wanshan twitched his eyelids, and his pupils lit up slightly.

"Do you want to use directional blasting?"

"That's right!"

Gu Ji pointed to the left side of the center of the ruins on the west side of the photo and said, "We can dig a deep pit at this load-bearing position and put the calculated amount of explosives into it. It will be enough to collapse the ruins and cover the radiation leakage area!"

"This is a good idea!"

Director Zheng habitually pushed up the black-framed glasses in his gas mask. "Although the rubble pile is not the best landfill material, it is indeed the fastest and best solution under the current environment and conditions!"

"What are the drawbacks?"

Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the director's words.

Unexpectedly, he was knocked back by Lei Wanshan with a hammer.

really.

The same tactical system foundation and similar thinking mode.

Gu Ji knew that Lei Wanshan might have already thought of his plan, and might even have conceived it when he and Gao Bo went to observe the scene closely.

"It's an error! We have limited tools, and the high-intensity radiation environment is extremely harsh. We need to work in shifts, which means it's difficult for us to concentrate and calmly complete the task. Once an error occurs in the blasting hole, it will affect the final angle of the ruins collapse.

There may be a deviation, and the radioactive waste may not be completely covered, or even the worst result... more waste tanks may be broken!"

"This……"

For a moment, everyone lowered their heads and fell silent.

The former is easier to deal with. At most, the exposed parts will be left and then artificially landfilled.

But once the latter happens.

No one can take this responsibility.

The spread of excessive radiation would not only kill everyone on the scene, but the most terrifying thing is that it would threaten the lives of civilians in nearby villages and towns!

"Captain Lei, should we reconsider this?"

"Yes, how about we report it to the command center and let Director Chen make the decision?"

There was silence for a long time.

Several special police officers from the second team and the reserve force whispered a few words.

Such a big matter must of course be reported to the organization for approval.

While Ye Xiaoshu was away with the radio, Li Changshun gathered all the soldiers of the Air Service Regiment together, discussing something.

Finally, there was a collective cheer of "Ha".

He walked towards me with firm steps, his eyes showing his courage and determination.

"Captain Lei, if the superiors decide to implement this plan, our Special Air Service Regiment's First Battalion Second Company will absolutely spare no effort to complete this excavation mission and ensure that the error is kept to a minimum!"

"Captain Lei! Director Chen and Commander Ma of the headquarters have agreed!"

Before Lei Wanshan could answer.

Behind him, Ye Xiaoshu ran back with the news.

Looking at Li Changshun's extremely determined eyes, Lei Wanshan and Gu Ji naturally knew what the words "at all costs" meant.

But they had no choice.

Less than ten minutes have passed since the leak was discovered, and the environmental radiation value within a hundred meters has exceeded 3.9 millisieverts per hour. If it continues to drag on, the situation will only get worse.

In the end, it will probably be like Chernobyl.

In the face of extremely strong radiation, humans cannot withstand it for long even if they are wearing chemical protective suits and will be burned to death by the radiation!

"it is good!"

Lei Wanshan agreed immediately, "We will be divided into three groups: First, the 341 Task Force, except for Gu Ji, Gao Bo, me, and Pasili, all the others will cooperate with Captain Li to go to the ruins of the research institute to dig holes. There will be five people in a group, and the longest working time for each group shall not exceed 5 minutes;

Secondly, Pasili, you are responsible for returning to the valley to get the explosives."

"Understood, Captain Lei."

Born in Jinbang, Passili is well adapted to the mountainous environment. He also won first place in physical fitness in the national special police peak competition, making him most suitable for the task of running around.

The explosives he mentioned were the ones previously found from the weapons and equipment of the Indian special forces.

This can be considered as a waste utilization.

"As for the remaining person whose name I called, as the on-site commander, Gu Ji, you will personally use the laser to direct the construction team to locate and dig. After the preparatory work is completed, you, me, and Gao Bo will be responsible for installing the explosives and carrying out the blasting!"

"understand!"

"Okay, time is running out, everyone act now! Quick!"

A few words.

Lei Wanshan arranged the division of labor for everyone on the scene.

With a "rustle", Pasili removed the quick-release buckle of his tactical vest. Except for a 92A pistol on his body just in case, he removed all the rest of the equipment and supplies in order to reduce the weight and retrieve the explosives as quickly as possible.

Li Changshun also packed up his gas masks and chemical protective suits, and selected the electric pickaxes, crowbars, shovels, hydraulic support rods and other equipment used for excavation.

The soldiers held the tools in their hands tightly, and through the goggles, one could see that everyone was looking firmly at the area full of radioactive waste, without a trace of fear in their hearts.

With the formation complete.

The first five-member group was led by Li Changshun himself.

At his command, he rushed towards the radioactive ruins carrying the equipment.

The wind was blowing wildly, and the cold particles hit their chemical protective suits, making a fine and rapid sound.

Gu Ji, Gao Bo and Lei Wanshan stood 30 meters in front of the radiation-contaminated ruins of the research institute, using the visible laser pointer on their gun lights to provide the engineering team with precise excavation locations.

Faced with sky-high radiation levels.

Li Changshun and his team members did not hesitate at all. As the first laser point appeared, they immediately started using the tools in their hands and began digging in the ruins on the west side.

“Ding ding bang bang…”

Hearing the sound of excavation, Lei Wanshan immediately pressed the stopwatch.

According to Director Zheng, the gamma rays near radioactive waste are extremely strong, and even the most powerful gas protective clothing cannot withstand dozens of minutes of direct exposure.

So, they followed the same process that they used to move the waste from the underground base in Iran.

Each group of people has only 5 minutes to work.
