Great time travel

Chapter 69. Would you like some hydrogen bombs?
At night, in the west area of ​​Bed Lord City, the castle tower on the top floor of Bed Lord Castle
Looking out from the window, the late night sky is full of radiance, reflecting the stars and the moon.The surface of each cloud is decorated with brilliant fireflies all over the sky, flying around, incomparably gorgeous, forming a kind of gorgeous light that is indescribable in words, making the night look extraordinarily terrifying and strange.

On the tatami mats in the castle tower, a group of passers-by from college students to elementary school students, together with the cadres of the "Concerning the Country and One Heart Association", plus Takashi Komuro, who was appointed as the son-in-law by Takashiro's family, led a group of ex-official police officers Miyamoto. On the TV, several representatives elected by the refugee citizens were surrounding a brief distribution map of Japan's nuclear power plants. Their faces were sinking like water, and their expressions were trembling, making the atmosphere at the venue dignified as if it had been covered with asphalt.

Although at this moment, since the Yankees who tried to take the whole world to be buried with them and opened Pandora's box first, all major countries in the world have begun to throw nuclear bombs at each other with great joy. By the way, the more and more More and more places are turning into radioactive wasteland.But in fact, even without the outbreak of this global nuclear war, the radioactive wasteland of many countries around the world is inevitable: because, those nuclear power plants standing around the city-that is, those oversized "dirty bombs" , has already entered the countdown to detonation with the outbreak of the zombie crisis!

——Modern society is like an extremely sophisticated machine, as long as one part goes on strike or is damaged, the whole society will be in chaos immediately.

"...According to the information obtained by Doraemon through special satellite observations, the situation in Taiwan is the worst. On the first day when the zombie crisis broke out, the Americans had not had time to launch a nuclear war. The three nuclear power plants on the island The explosions have already started one by one, and I don’t know how the Taiwanese are engaged in crisis management... In short, the current situation in Taiwan is already horrible, and most islanders can only choose one way to die between zombie infection and radiation sickness...

Next, after the outbreak of nuclear war, the nuclear power plants of North Korea, China, the United States, and Russia also began to detonate one by one and turned into extra-large dirty bombs.In terms of quantity, it is enough to turn the Eastern European Plain and the North American Great Plain into a land of death, and it will take at least a century to return to life!
In addition, the nuclear reactors of India, Pakistan, and Iran were also blown up in the process of throwing nuclear bombs at each other, and at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land were polluted.The situation in Europe is the same. Except for Iceland, which hangs alone in the Arctic Circle, no country can survive the disaster.Especially France, the world's largest nuclear power, not only ate about [-] nuclear bombs, but also exploded at least [-] reactors. The radiation intensity in Paris has far exceeded that of Chernobyl back then, let alone romance The French are now, and even the unromantic French zombies are almost turning into glow sticks...

As for the poisonous gas leakage and water pollution caused by the explosion of the pesticide factory, the burning of the city caused by the explosion of the oil refinery, liquefied gas plant and natural gas company, the smallpox and other plagues caused by the leakage of the biological laboratory... such trivial things, now It's completely worthless!

Those small countries without nuclear bombs are busy throwing anthrax and poison gas bombs at each other right now!Uh, and poisoning the water sources upstream... All human beings have exhausted all their ingenuity, racked their brains, or insanely killed their own kind..."

Like a sudden storm, Wang Qiu threw a series of bad news to everyone, "...Of course, the situation in Japan is not much better. First of all, Tokyo in the west - an experimental nuclear reactor at the University of Tokyo , has been blown up in a nuclear bomb attack, and the radioactive material has been scattered to the entire 23 wards of Tokyo. Then in Ibaraki Prefecture in the north, the Tokai Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has been shut down but has not been dismantled. This old nuclear power plant with backward technology and aging facilities , Leaks have also begun to appear... The current bed city is surrounded by nuclear pollution!

But this is not the most dangerous thing-the bigger trouble is that on the territory of Japan, from Hokkaido to Kagoshima, there are about [-] other public nuclear reactors for power generation, as well as an unknown number of secret nuclear test equipment , and several large-scale nuclear waste treatment plants... How long do you think these nuclear facilities can last without incident in the current post-apocalyptic collapse? "

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

As we all know, Japan is a country with a large population, a small land and extremely scarce resources.In this piece of land with a total area of ​​about 37 square kilometers, there are a total of 4000 million Japanese nationals living, which is several times that of China in terms of population density.

The gold and silver mines that used to be very rich in ancient times have long been exhausted. Except for the forest resources that are relatively rich due to environmental protection, there are only a few iron, copper, coal and sulfur produced, and the rest of the resources are scarce. , or mining is difficult, all need to be imported from overseas.

After the Second World War, Japan quickly became a developed country. With the rapid development of social productivity in Japan, the short board of domestic resources became more and more obvious.Compared with other resources, what Japan needs most is energy.Until the early 21s, Japan was the world's second largest energy importer.In order to solve the problem of energy shortage and reduce dependence on imported oil, the Japanese government has always attached great importance to the development of nuclear energy.Because there are no uranium mines in the country, Japan has tried every means to import nuclear materials from other countries since the 20s, and built multiple nuclear material storage bases in the country.At the beginning of the 80st century, Japan was already the world's largest nuclear material reserve country, and the stockpiled nuclear materials could be used by all nuclear power plants in the country for hundreds of years!
While hoarding a large amount of nuclear materials, Japan is also the country with the most nuclear power plants in the world.By the beginning of the 21st century, Japan’s nuclear power plants accounted for more than 80% of the country’s total power generation, while France, which ranked second, only accounted for 67%... So many nuclear power plants are crowded on the small land of the Japanese archipelago, and its density can be One can imagine.Moreover, because the country is too small, nuclear power plants in Japan can only be built not far from big cities.If the reactor leaks and radioactive pollution occurs, 4000 million Japanese people will have nowhere to escape, which will definitely lead to catastrophic consequences!

But the problem is, in today's double apocalypse of zombie frenzy + global nuclear war, and with the collapse of the Japanese government, if all these nuclear power plants can continue to operate normally... that is What an unbelievable strange thing!
"...Well...Although the government has collapsed now, didn't the Self-Defense Forces be sent to take over the hydropower facilities a few days ago? I think they should have shut down the nuclear power plants immediately. .Unless you are directly hit by a missile, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Takashi Komuro scratched his hair in confusion, and raised his hand to speak—this brave young man has been facing the threat of radiation and zombies, picking up waste on the streets of this doomsday city... or robbing, for half an hour I just came back before, so I don't know much about some of the previous things.

"... Komuro-san, please don't have too high expectations for the capabilities of the Self-Defense Forces! The Self-Defense Forces sent to take over the two nuclear power plants in Ibaraki Prefecture are here right now! They were massacred as soon as they landed in a speedboat Zombie siege, failed to break through at all, fled in fright, and then accidentally broke the engine at sea, drifted for three full days before landing in Bed City... and took a helicopter to the Fukushima nuclear power plant for self-defense The team members were even more miserable. Not long after they set off from Tokyo Bay, they encountered the shock wave of a nuclear explosion, and less than half of them struggled to fly to us..."

Doraemon sighed, and interjected, "...Moreover, Komuro-san, a nuclear power plant is not a motorcycle. As long as you pull out the key and turn off the ignition, you can leave it aside. With the technical conditions of this era, the nuclear power plant The sealing of the pile is an extremely cumbersome project..."

——Well, first of all, we need to popularize science. The so-called nuclear power generation in the modern world usually does not directly convert the energy of nuclear fission into electrical energy.Instead, like an oversized tea stove, it uses the heat of nuclear fission to boil water, and then uses high-temperature steam to drive a steam turbine to generate electricity.

To this end, engineers need to sinter nuclear fuel with uranium-containing powder as the main raw material into uranium dioxide ceramic pellets.Then put them into the slender zirconium alloy casing, and turn them into nuclear fuel rods one by one.When generating electricity, the rod is inserted into the reaction pool.If you want to generate more heat, insert the fuel rod a little deeper, and if you want to reduce the power generation, pull out the rod a little.And all of this requires electricity.

To put it simply, even the nuclear power plant itself needs electricity. Even if the reactor has been shut down and no power generation is made, it still requires a lot of electricity!
If during this process, the entire nuclear power plant is accidentally completely powered off, what will happen to the nuclear reactor?

Well, take the Fukushima nuclear disaster in our world as an example. In fact, as soon as the Tokai earthquake broke out, several nuclear reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant had already shut down in an emergency.But the problem is that even if the emergency shutdown has been completed, the waste heat generated by the entire reactor due to its own decay still needs to be cooled down, otherwise, the heat alone can cause the core temperature to soar to thousands of degrees Celsius!
In the case that the reactor has been shut down, the electric water pump of the waste heat cooling system needs to be powered from the outside, or rely on emergency diesel generators, and the battery is constantly replaced... and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan after the earthquake The factory was completely paralyzed because the external power grid was completely paralyzed, and its own emergency diesel generator was also submerged by the tsunami, thus losing all external power supply, and could only rely on batteries to survive.However, Tokyo Electric Power Company wanted to cover the lid and refused to admit the accident, so after the battery was exhausted, it was a tragedy because the core lost its cooling means.

Next, the rescuers who rushed from Tokyo desperately had no choice but to keep pouring water on the scalding reactor to cool it down. Meanwhile the core continues to burn through the foundations...

Obviously, in the tide of zombies sweeping the world in an instant, the fate of nuclear power plants around the world may be even more terrifying. It is impossible to have proper preventive measures in advance, and there will not be enough manpower to organize them afterwards. Rescue...Maybe at the beginning, you can still rely on computer programs to keep the reactors running, but as long as the time drags on for a long time, they will inevitably explode one by one!

Not to mention the frenzied EMP electromagnetic pulse attacks after the outbreak of the global nuclear war that destroyed the world—many old-style nuclear power plants that were built too long ago or with low technical levels are not capable of preventing EMP electromagnetic pulse attacks!In that case, the entire electronic operating system of the nuclear power plant, including the electric pump of the waste heat cooling system, would burn itself out in the electromagnetic pulse.There is no way to save it even if you want to!In the next few hours at least, and no more than one to two days at most, the residual heat of the nuclear fuel rods will burn through the reactor, causing the core to melt down!
Moreover, this is still under the ideal situation where the nuclear power plant has already shut down in an emergency... If the reactor is paralyzed by an EMP electromagnetic pulse attack before it has time to shut down, then I am afraid that it will be like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The entire reactor was instantly blasted into the sky with a "boom"!

As for what will happen after the core of the nuclear power plant melts down... Doraemon took out several photos of the scene in France that were just synthesized with the [Mini Reconnaissance Satellite for Home Use]-the European rural scenery on the screen is indeed quite good, and The gorgeous sunset as the background is even more colorful and dazzlingly beautiful. The nuclear power plant whose core has melted down has not been reduced to ruins like it was bombarded by missiles. There are only sporadic flames scattered on the roof and wisps of white smoke ...But around it, there are fallen birds, dead human and animal corpses, and a large number of zombies that return to death again: obviously, such a terrifying strong radiation, even the rough, strong and tossing zombies, I can't take it anymore!
As for the nuclear fission reactors that are also being melted down, on the land of the Japanese archipelago, there are currently at least sixty...or more!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In short, through the narration of Doraemon and Wang Qiu, everyone here understands the seriousness of the above-mentioned problems and the urgency of time-although most of the reactors in various parts of Japan may have problems and become A ticking time bomb, but barely within the salvageable range.If the nuclear fuel rods completely burn through the foundation and protective cover, and bring down the entire nuclear power plant, even gods will be hard to save!
However, knowing the problem is not the same as solving the problem-then, they quickly understand how little their power is.

"...think of a way to shut down so many nuclear power plants? That's easy to say! Do you know how long the process of dismantling the nuclear industry in the modern world is? Generally speaking, those professionals must first patiently allow the nuclear fuel to cool completely, Then take out the nuclear fuel and wait for its radiation level to gradually decrease. During this period of time, the less polluting equipment in the nuclear power plant, such as generators, can be dismantled first, and finally the steel container of the reactor is divided and thrown into the trench or Buried deep into the ground - the entire decontamination and dismantling process lasted for 20, or even 30 years!

But the problem is that we obviously can't find so many professional engineers and construction personnel who are proficient in the nuclear industry, and we don't have such a long time to deal with it calmly, and we don't even have enough manpower to handle 1000 reactors at the same time!There seems to be less than [-] people in this bed master castle! "

In response to everyone's request, Doraemon said helplessly, "... Hey, don't all look at me, my props are not very useful to a dangerous big guy like a nuclear power plant! If you use a shrinking light I am afraid that the radioactive material inside has already leaked before the reactor can be reduced in size; if the nuclear power plant is reduced to raw materials, piles of uranium ore can also pollute the environment and kill people..."

"...Then what should we do? Do we just watch the Japanese archipelago turn into a radiation wasteland?" Takashiro Saya asked, pushing his glasses.

"...Actually, Doraemon and I have already discussed and weighed the countermeasures to solve the above-mentioned nuclear leak crisis. After excluding those solutions that are too late or beyond our capabilities, we finally decided to There is only one simple and crude way left."

For some reason, Wang Qiu's eyes flashed with a strange excitement, "... just aim at every nuclear power plant that may leak, and drop a high-yield hydrogen bomb directly, and all pollution sources can be blown up." It's calm, it's all over, and all troubles are gone!

Regarding the source of the hydrogen bomb, you can rest assured that as long as you have money, you can order it from the 22nd century world of Doraemon.Of course, the destruction and disasters brought about by this to the surrounding areas of the nuclear power plant have to be ignored... I named it the 'Nuclear Japan' operation! "

— Nani? ! ! "Nuclear Japan" operation? ! ! !Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?

Regarding this unimaginable solution to the nuclear crisis with violence to control violence, everyone felt that the wind was messy and absurd at first, but after listening to Wang Qiu's explanation carefully, they found that the countermeasure of "nuclear leveling Japan" was not unreasonable ——Yes, there will be radioactive pollution after the nuclear bomb explosion, and it is fatal nuclear pollution, but the radioactive pollution caused by the nuclear bomb explosion and the nuclear power plant accident is different in nature.

Although the explosion of a nuclear warhead was terrifying, it erupted instantly. The radioactive pollution was very severe at the time, and the rate of decay was also very fast. The hazards of nuclear radiation generally existed for a few days or months. After a year or two, it was basically nothing. , is by no means some people's bragging for decades - for example, the nuclear weapons test site where the Americans dropped more than 20 hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs, the famous Bikini Atoll has now become a tropical tourist destination full of vitality and tourists. resorts; while Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where the atomic bomb was dropped, were built into prosperous big cities again within a few years.

On the contrary, after a nuclear power plant leaks, radioactive substances are slowly released. The amount of pollution per unit of time may not be large, but the duration is too long, ranging from a few years to hundreds of years. It will be longer - as a comparison with the three nuclear bomb shooting ranges of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Bikini, the area around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is still a radiation forbidden zone decades after the accident!
Therefore, since there is no cure for those nuclear power plants with melted cores, then in the spirit of curing diseases and saving lives, let's just use hydrogen bombs to blow them up!

No matter how you look at it, it is better to suffer pain and destruction for a while than to persecute future generations.As for the survivors who were going to be killed by the hydrogen bomb... Well, after the nuclear power plant leaked, they would definitely die of radiation sickness anyway, so what about another way of dying?

However, no matter how you say it, this means that everyone here will make a decision with their own hands, depriving the lives of tens of millions of Japanese citizens...

If it was the Japanese militarists who were bloodthirsty and military at the time of World War II, they might have already made a choice in this case.However, in this new era of the 21st century, when all Japan is "destroyed and cute", such a heavy sense of guilt and moral obstacles cannot be easily overcome by anyone.

Therefore, out of the most basic humanitarian concept, everyone here has been hesitant about this, neither daring to agree to it, nor daring to give up this way of life.In the end, it was Soichiro Takashiro who stood up and made the final decision—"...I am afraid that no one of us can bear this responsibility for such a major issue that concerns the lives of tens of millions of compatriots and the survival of the Japanese archipelago. Therefore, in order to demonstrate democracy and justice, everyone Let’s go to a general referendum!”

Well, although this uncle Gao Cheng said it soundingly, but in fact he is just shirking responsibility, and at the same time seeking peace of mind.

——At 11:30 in the middle of the night, after fully understanding the severe situation that the entire Japanese archipelago is about to become a nuclear-contaminated area, and the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen bombs to quickly resolve this nuclear crisis, the nine hundred and ninety-seven people gathered in the bed master castle A survivor, soon upholding the cynicism spirit of "dead friends never die poor people", voted with an absolute advantage to pass the "Nuclear Japan" battle plan... Anyway, there is no other way to survive!
On the other hand, those saints who love boundlessly and find fault with their eggs have almost died these days.

What's more, in the face of the impending nuclear pollution and the desperate situation where there is nowhere to hide, only a real lunatic would seek his own death!

As a result, the Japanese archipelago, which was already devastated, is about to usher in a new round of tragic nuclear catastrophe...
