Kong Witz felt physically and mentally exhausted.
The first batch of experts were woken up by the phone before dawn. They hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed to the airport. On the way, they studied the report submitted by Brihanov and Fumin, discussing how to restore the power supply to the nuclear power plant as soon as possible.
However, when they arrived at the scene of the explosion, they realized that the severity of the problem was far beyond their imagination. The previous plans were all based on the premise that the reactor was safe and sound. Now, none of them could be used. So, they had to collect information and look for a new solution.
Before Shelbina arrived, the experts had been arguing for a long time about how to extinguish the fire in the reactor. After Shelbina took a helicopter to the reactor to inspect it, they returned to the DW office to continue the previous debate.
Water was the most commonly used fire-extinguishing material, but water couldn't extinguish nuclear flames. Instead, it would accelerate the pollution of the surrounding environment after evaporation. Finally, the scientists decided to use sand to extinguish the fire. However, how to put the sand into the reactor was also a troublesome problem. It wasn't until around three in the morning that Shelbina found the Air Force commander of the Kiev district and borrowed a pilot and helicopter from him.
Due to the lack of manpower, some people had to stay behind to help transport the sand. This included several deputy ministers. Kong Witz, however, was luckier. He got a few hours of rest and dragged his tired body back to the hotel.
When he unlocked the door with the key, he didn't even have the strength to brush his teeth and wash his face. All he wanted to do was lie on the bed and sleep.
The next moment, however, something cold pressed against the skin of his throat. He couldn't help but shiver and wake up a little.
Then, Kong Witz heard the sound of the door closing behind him. After about half a second, the light in his room came on, and Kong Witz saw a woman sitting on the sofa.
"Hello, Deputy Director."
"Who are you? Why are you in our room?" Kong Witz asked in a trembling voice.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What's important is that we mean you no harm," Besonova said. Besonova said. She was now wearing a gas mask so that Kong Witz could not see her face.
In fact, this was also to protect Besonova. After all, after the quest was completed, the players would leave this dungeon. Naturally, it didn't matter if they were targeted or not. However, Besonova was a member of this dungeon. If her identity was exposed, it wouldn't be difficult for Kong Witz to deal with her.
And Besonova obviously understood this. So when she heard that Zhang Heng asked her to put on the mask, she was very grateful. And with her previous experience, she was getting more and more adept at doing this kind of thing.
At least for now, Kong Weitz would never believe that the woman in his room was just a nurse.
"Then why did you sneak into my room?"
Kong Witz didn't seem to believe that Bersonova meant no harm, especially considering that Zhang Heng's knife was still on his throat.
"We just want to ask you a little favor," Bersonova said.
"Do you want money? I left in a hurry this time, and I only brought less than a hundred rubles with me. If it's not enough, you can take my watch," Kong Witz said as he unfastened the watch on his wrist.
"No, you can keep the watch. We just want to ask you a few questions related to Chernobyl."
Hearing the name, Kong Witz's body trembled slightly. "Chernobyl? Who are you? Why do you care about Chernobyl? "
"You just need to answer our questions truthfully. Our purpose is the same as yours. We want to find out the truth about the accident," Besonova said.
After a pause, she continued, "You are the deputy director of the Hydroelectric Engineering Research Institute in charge of nuclear power plant safety. As far as I know, the Hydroelectric Engineering Research Institute is responsible for the overall design of nuclear power plants."
"That's right." These things weren't very secretive, so Kong Witz didn't deny it.
"So, you are the one who designed the Chernobyl nuclear power plant?"
"Uh, yes, but strictly speaking, this design plan was done before I became the director of the nuclear power plant design department," Kong Witz wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I was still doing hydroelectric design at that time."
"As far as you know, are there any omissions in this design?" Besonova continued to ask.
"Omissions? Oh, of course there are, but this kind of thing is inevitable. I mean, the design is one thing, and the actual operation of the nuclear power plant is another. We are a bit behind in the disposal of radioactive waste, and now look at the buried wires are a bit too close to each other. There is no separation … "
"Mr. Deputy Director, I'm not asking about this small problem. I'm asking about the design flaws that may cause the nuclear power plant to explode," Besonova interrupted Kong Witz.
"Flaws that can cause the reactor to explode?" Kong Witz's jaw dropped. It was obvious that he was surprised. "Do you think that the explosion of the Chernobyl IV reactor was due to a design flaw?"
After a while, the deputy director squeezed out six words from his mouth. "This is ridiculous!"
"The Chernobyl nuclear power plant began construction in 1970 and was put into operation in 1977. It has been nine years since then, and it has always been safe and sound. How could it be a design problem? It must be that the employees on duty at the nuclear power plant that night did not follow the safety manual. I'm not the only one who thinks so. The rest of the experts think so too. Unfortunately, I heard that they suffered from severe radiation, so we can't ask them in person. "
Kong Witz saw that Besonova didn't seem to believe him, so he added, "I know what you are thinking, but I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility. The RMBK reactor is everywhere in SL. You can take a look around. They have always been operating well."
Besonova didn't comment. She then asked, "Who designed it?"
"What?"
"The RMBK reactor you just mentioned, who designed it?"
"It's Academician Dolezali."
"Dolezali? Where can we find him? Moscow? "
Kong Witz had a strange expression on his face.
"In 1947, Academician Dolezali took the lead in designing the RMBK reactor, and later built the first nuclear power plant in SL, but now … he is gone."
