Great Power Technology

As Ye Zhou imagined, this reactor had indeed been tampered with a long time ago. Since the freezing plug has been replaced and lost its high-temperature melting function, it is very likely that the control rods and moderator have also been tampered with.

At this time, the general framework of this sabotage plan has appeared in Ye Zhou's mind.

The enemy first took control of the reactor during transportation through means that were temporarily unknown to Ye Zhou, and then probably replaced the control rods and moderators, replacing the original boron carbide and Graphite will eventually lead to collective incapacitation when the neutron absorption of these materials decays to a critical value. All control methods of the nuclear reactor core will fail, and it will directly become a large nuclear bomb!

At the same time, the reactor's monitoring system should have been modified, causing all safety systems to shut down in the last critical minutes.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but shudder.

Being able to achieve this level means that these enemies have probably started infiltrating the reactor since it was first manufactured.

Their understanding of this reactor is probably not inferior to that of the engineers at the Nuclear Energy Research Institute.

The time came to count down to 10 minutes, and the material analysis results had not yet been sent, but from the moment it was discovered that the freezing plug had been replaced, it no longer mattered.

The important thing is that no matter what method the other party uses, this reactor will definitely explode.

Because there are no redundant control rods available on site, there is no moderator available for manual injection.

There is only one thing they can do now, and that is to manually open the freezing plug and allow the molten salt fuel to flow into the emergency storage tank.

This is a job with no return. The moment the freeze plug is opened, the operator will face the nuclear fuel and bear 100% of the lethal dose of radiation.

The engineers at the scene did not know the full story like Ye Zhou, but judging from the replaced freezing plug, most of them understood the situation they were facing.

Either one person dies or a group of them dies.

"Ye Gong, I'm coming."

A man with an unclear face in heavy protective clothing walked up to Ye Zhou, said these words briefly but firmly, and then turned and walked towards the reactor.

Ye Zhou grabbed him with quick eyes and hands, and then said:

"Now I issue an order with emergency command authority and everyone begins to evacuate."

"Ye Gong."

"immediately!"

Ye Zhou said in a stern voice.

In an instant, all the engineers who were still hesitating saw Ye Zhou's determination, and no one stopped anymore.

This is the moment of sacrifice, and Ye Zhou has made his own choice. As the commander-in-chief, no one can interfere with his decision. The only thing they need to do is obey.

Taking one last look at the others who were leaving in a hurry, Ye Zhou took a deep breath, picked up the high-temperature cutting machine that was left behind, and walked to the reactor to widen the gap in the emergency storage tank again.

At this time, he could already directly observe the freezing plug with his naked eyes. The metal on it glowed dark gray, which was completely different from the silver-white material in the original design.

This freeze plug has probably been replaced with the most heat-resistant tungsten alloy.

It is indeed cruel enough.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath, and then began to carefully cut the freezing plug. But the moment the saw blade touched the freezing plug, his talent as a planner came into play again, and a premonition came into his heart.

This freeze plug is too thick.

The diameter of the freezing plug is no more than 30 centimeters, but its thickness far exceeds the designed thickness.

Something is wrong.

Such thoughts only flashed for a moment. Before Ye Zhou's body had time to react, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the next second.

Ye Zhou's eyes were burned by the blazing fire, and the shock wave pushed him directly to the wall of the workshop. All the bones in his body were broken, and his internal organs were almost crushed to pieces.

However, Ye Zhou had no time to suffer.

Because after the first round of explosions, the nuclear reactor also exploded.

The void fell, and the settlement interface appeared in front of Ye Zhou's eyes.

[The three-stage simulation of Dragon Heart ends]

[50% completion]

[This simulation score: C]

[Clues found: Reactor abnormality]

[Reward (clue reward): 10 energy points]

He sighed. According to the simulator settlement prompts, this reactor was indeed as he guessed. It had been tampered with a long time ago.

What's even more outrageous is that the other party seemed to be fully prepared. They even guessed that the reactor anomaly might be discovered, so they hid a miniature directional bomb in the compartment of the replaced freeze plug in advance!

As long as someone tries to manually cut the freezing plug like Ye Zhou did, a violent explosion will definitely occur. Then after the nuclear fuel inside the reactor is compressed by the explosion, the nuclear explosion that occurs is even greater than what Ye Zhou has seen before in the supercritical state. It's even more intense.

There is absolutely no intention of leaving a way to survive.

Ye Zhou entered his subconscious, released the thought programming of the Sea of ​​Strings, and then re-evaluated his mental state. He confirmed that he could no longer perform the next simulation at this time, so he had no choice but to exit the simulator.

Starting from the three-stage simulation of Dragon's Heart, he has gradually felt the difficulty of the simulation increase. For the initial plot of "The Death of the Chip", he could simulate it dozens or even dozens of times in one day. Now, he has completed it once. After the simulation there is no energy left to continue.

Of course, this is also caused by him crazily squeezing his own potential while simulating the middle-of-the-road thinking programming. If the simulation is carried out according to the normal state, he should still be able to persist three to five times.

After returning to reality, Ye Zhou felt sleepy again, but it was only around 9 o'clock in the morning. He couldn't fall back and sleep all day, so he took out his mobile phone, set the alarm clock, and took two naps. After an hour, he got up from the bed.

His head was still a little groggy, but his energy had obviously recovered a lot. Ye Zhou walked to the kitchen. On the table was the breakfast left for him by Ye Lan.

A simple portion of porridge, two eggs, and some pickles.

Seeing this simple and almost crude breakfast, Ye Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

My younger sister really lives a rougher life than me. If it were others, even if they were not extravagant and lustful, they would at least have certain requirements for their own living standards, but Ye Lan seemed to have a lot of thoughts in her mind. It's like there is no such string. Life is no different from when she was still in school and had to work in a milk tea shop to support herself.

I don’t know whether this lifestyle is good or bad.

Ye Zhou was eating breakfast, holding the special terminal that Chen Hao had given him before and swiping the downloaded information about nuclear reactor control rod materials. When he was looking at it, the phone rang. It was Chen Hao.

"Boss Chen, is it so early?"

"It's still early, it's already eight o'clock. Let me get down to business. The question you asked me to ask has a result. The answer is impossible, unless the reactor monitoring system is broken and there is a problem without warning."

"Well, I already know, but thank you anyway."

Ye Zhou originally planned to ask Chen Hao to help him find the answer, but he didn't expect to find it himself in today's simulation, so he asked Chen Hao to do a useless job.

"You're welcome, it won't waste any time anyway."

Chen Hao on the other end of the phone was a little speechless, but he couldn't say much to this young man who always had wild ideas.

Ye Zhou hummed and originally planned to hang up the phone, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, so he continued to ask:

"Who did you consult? I have a new question to ask now. Can you send me his contact information?"

"No problem sending it to you, but what do you want to ask?"

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"I would like to ask, is it possible that I can use the most commonly used materials around me to inject into a nuclear reactor and forcibly stop the chain reaction?"
