Chapter 113 Bathing in Fire
According to the contact information provided by Chen Hao, Ye Zhou contacted the nuclear physicist he recommended, but the information obtained from the other party can be said to be lackluster.
There is no common solution to stop chain reactions, which means that Ye Zhou is likely to have no way to deal with this reactor that is about to explode.
He could organize the evacuation of personnel, but it was impossible to transfer the nuclear reactor from the base within 45 minutes.
There are indeed a large number of heavy machinery in the base, but these heavy machinery are not fast. Even if they can load the reactor in the shortest time, they cannot take the reactor out of safe range before it explodes.
For confidentiality, there is no airport near this base, so it is not realistic to take off quickly by large transport aircraft.
It would be great if there was a Batmobile. Just hang the reactor up and fly all the way to the sea.
----etc.
Ye Zhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration. There seemed to be a ready-made large aircraft in this base.
Jinwu No. 1.
This strategic bomber uses a twin-engine design like Tu-l. It uses a conventional engine during takeoff and will only use a nuclear-powered engine after entering high altitude cruising.
Now, Jinwu has completed all assembly work except the engine, including conventional powered engines!
This means that it can take the reactor away from the base.
There is no need to complete assembly, but just simply stuff the reactor into the nuclear-powered engine compartment of Jinwu One!
According to design standards, under conventional power, the range of Jinwu 1 can reach 1,200 kilometers. If it accelerates at any cost, it only takes 5 minutes and can fly at least 40 kilometers, including takeoff taxiing.
This is enough to allow the nuclear explosion to occur outside the security range of the base.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhou's spirit was revived.
He finished breakfast in three bites, drank a few sips of strong tea as usual and entered the simulator again. This time he did not do any thinking programming again because he was not sure what would happen in the reactor on the machine, so he had to try it a few more times.
After entering the plot simulation, Ye Zhou turned around and ran to the base as planned, and at the same time activated his first-level authority and ordered the base disaster control office to load the reactor immediately.
The Disaster Control Office carried out his orders with the highest efficiency. When he arrived at the apron in a shuttle bus, he happened to see the scene of the engine compartment opening in the abdomen of Jinwu No. 1.
In the huge underground apron, Jinwu No. 1 bathed under the strong lights from all directions like an ancient divine bird. A hideous shadow was cast under its body, and the giant lift truck next to it was sending the reactor into its engine compartment.
"Manager Ye, according to your requirements, the temporary ground has been cleared, but judging from the current situation, the conditions for takeoff are not met. If you want to take off forcibly, an accident may occur..."
Ye Zhou nodded and answered:
"Send all vehicles immediately to crush all the ground of the temporary site with wheels to eliminate hidden dangers on the road!"
With 28 minutes left, Ye Zhou looked at the watch nervously, staring at every assembly process, and looking for possible optimization points.
For him, it doesn't matter whether the takeoff will be successful this time, because under such an emergency order, all actions have the risk of deformation and accidents, and every accident will take a lot of time.
What he has to do is record the entire assembly process, and then avoid all accidents through his own command in the subsequent simulation, and complete assembly and takeoff with the highest efficiency!
The countdown is 18 minutes and the reactor is fixed.
The countdown is 12 minutes, the engine compartment is closed, the fuel filling is completed, and the driver is in place.
The countdown was 10 minutes, and the apron began to rise. The Jinwu No. 1 conventional engine drove and entered the takeoff preheating preparation.
After 3 minutes of countdown, Jinwu No. 1 rose to the ground and began to slide towards the takeoff site.
Too slow.
Ye Zhou looked at his watch and knew that this takeoff attempt had failed.
Three minutes, no matter what, the plane is not enough to fly out of the danger zone.
The countdown of the last ten seconds ended, and an explosion occurred in the Jinwu-1 engine compartment, which was still in the takeoff and taxi stage. The hot air waves swept across the entire Gobi Desert. Ye Zhou witnessed the collapse of the base during the explosion.

【50% completion】
【This simulation score: c】
Ye Zhou entered the plot replay and began to gradually sort out all operations that resulted in wasting time during the assembly process.
Half an hour later, he re-entered the simulation.
......
"Please keep aligned with the engine compartment by lifting vehicles! The platform is recycled 30 cm, leaving room for the operator to operate!"
"Operators are careful not to consider stability, just stuff the reactor in!"
"Quick! Quick! Operator withdraw! Lift truck withdraw!"
"Fill up the fuel! Don't fill it up! Just add one-fifth of the amount of oil!"
"Okay, okay! The apron begins to rise! Jinwu No. 1, the engine drives immediately! Go directly to the takeoff speed!"
"The ground personnel evacuated immediately to leave space for the Jinwu to slide!"
Ye Zhou had already risen to the ground with the apron. He looked at the magnificent smoke and dust rising in the distance, which were all aroused by vehicles in the base when they crushed the ground.
The purpose of heavy vehicle crushing is not to flatten the uneven ground, but to maximize the huge gravel in the temporary site that will seriously affect the takeoff and clean it up.
Now, after more than 20 minutes of emergency operation, although the ground is not flat, it has basically met the conditions for takeoff.
Such a road has a great impact on the life of the aircraft landing gear, but this is completely beyond Ye Zhou's consideration.
Because, this plane is destined to go without returning.
The countdown was 12 minutes, and Jinwu No. 1 began to glide.
After 30 seconds, under the huge thrust of 120 tons of engine single-unit, Jinwu No. 1 rose from the ground.
The elevation angle even reached an astonishing 45 degrees.
It is obvious that the pilots on the plane already knew the urgency of the situation. They had completely given up following the conventional flight manual, and instead rely on their rich experience to crazily squeeze the performance of this aircraft that had not been tested for several times.
The flight altitude continued to rise, and the originally huge fuselage gradually turned into a small black dot in the clear sky. Ye Zhou watched the plane gradually shrink, and a sadness slowly rose in his heart.
This simulation was probably completed, but equally, the two best pilots on the plane were destined to be impossible to return.
The engine compartment is not a weapon bin, and there is no way for the Jin Crow flying in the air to abandon the reactor.
At the moment of takeoff, did they know the result?
Maybe, I know.
The moment Ye Zhou started a state of emergency, they should have guessed the key point of the problem.
One was to be sent out of the nuclear reactor outside the base, and the other was flying towards the dead golden crow.
However, they remained unswerving.
The countdown was ten seconds, and the figure of Jinwu One had completely disappeared from the distant sky.
After a few breaths, the scorching light suddenly burst into the air.
Without any luck, the reactor exploded at the moment when the countdown ended.
After dozens of seconds, a huge explosion sounded like thunder. Everyone else had already hiddenly greeted the impact according to Ye Zhou's request. Only he stood still, commenting on the small mushroom cloud above the skyline.

Ye Zhou scanned and read the reward details carefully, and found that these two technologies are still near-future technologies and did not change across the times as he thought. He also put down his previous worries.
It is a bit outrageous if you are afraid that you can get the technology and it will not be realized in the short term.
After calming down the violent fluctuations in the simulation, Ye Zhou looked at the ending summary interface and then clicked on the ending replay.
