Apocalyptic Mechanical Chariot

Chapter 179 Heavy Water

When Han Feng and his party pushed open the heavy warehouse door and walked into the warehouse dedicated to storing nuclear power plant coolants, the cold wind that hit their faces made everyone's heads shrink.

“I didn’t expect that the power supply system here is still functioning.”

After walking into the warehouse, Han Feng discovered that since the nuclear power plant is still operating, the power supply in the park is still normal. The internal cooling systems of the warehouses that store coolant are still running automatically, keeping the entire warehouse at a constant temperature.

The interior of the warehouse is quite empty, with only dozens of huge silver-white tanks standing in the warehouse, and several oil tankers with a load of ten tons are parked on one side of the warehouse.

Judging from the environment, it is obvious that these tank trucks are specially allocated to this warehouse for loading and unloading coolant.

"Fortunately, there are no scary zombies here." Holding a Type 64 pistol, Du Yuwen tremblingly walked into the nuclear power plant. He shook his head, observed the situation around him, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he was holding the pistol issued to him by Han Feng, it was hard to say how much protection this pistol could provide him if he really encountered zombies.

When Wang Tang entered the warehouse and saw the towering silver-white tank, he sighed and said, "Fortunately, the temperature control system is still running, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to pick up the coolant."

"Oh, what material is used as the coolant here? Is the Mengde Nuclear Power Plant a pressurized water reactor or a boiling water reactor?" Facing Wang Tang, Han Feng asked his doubts.

"These two things you mentioned are neither of them." Wang Tang held the pistol in his hand and stared at the surroundings closely. After realizing that nothing happened, he shook his head to Han Feng.

"The Mengde Nuclear Power Plant is a rare heavy water reactor in the country and is currently operating. The coolant that Chief Engineer Du just mentioned is the heavy water stored in the silver-white tanks in the warehouse."

Wang Tang pointed to the silver-white storage jars in front of him and introduced them to Han Feng.

"Heavy water is actually a compound composed of deuterium and oxygen. The molecular formula is D2O. Heavy water is also a strictly controlled material. Heavy water can not only be used as a coolant in nuclear power plants, but can also convert uranium 238 into plutonium that can be used to make nuclear weapons. , so in nuclear power plants, this heavy water is strictly monitored."

"At the same time, heavy hydrogen can also be obtained by electrolyzing heavy water, and heavy hydrogen is one of the raw materials for making hydrogen bombs. Originally, the amount of heavy water used had to be clearly registered, but now..."

He looked at the rather empty warehouse and sighed slightly.

"Don't sigh in a hurry, we have something to do now." After a group of people stayed in the warehouse for a while, five zombies stood up from behind the silver storage jars.

Judging from their clothes, these people should have been warehouse workers and drivers responsible for transporting heavy water. However, they failed to escape the zombie virus and eventually turned into zombies.

After seeing the zombies slowly walking out from the silver storage tank, Han Feng shouted to Wang Tang and Du Yuwen beside him: "The two Type 64 pistols you have, use them leisurely. There must be no emergencies. It can be used to avoid breaking the storage tank containing heavy water.”

While Han Feng was speaking, the figure had already left the place and quickly rushed towards the zombies who had just poked their heads out.

"So fast! How did he do it!"

Du Yuwen, who had just been rescued by Han Feng, was stunned when he saw Han Feng's forward speed. His eyes widened and his mouth seemed to be a little unable to close.

When he discovered that Han Feng was advancing, he only left an afterimage on the spot. Just one second later, Han Feng appeared dozens of meters away.

Wang Tang, who was standing next to Du Yuwen, noticed the look of disbelief on Du Yuwen's face, patted him on the shoulder, looked at Han Feng with an envious look, and said slowly: "It was the first time I saw him. When I saw this scene, I was also shocked, how can I become an evolver like Han Feng?"

But he didn't know that Han Feng had only exerted a small part of his strength at this time. If Han Feng really let him go all out, this warehouse would not be enough for him to accelerate.

While Wang Tang and Du Yuwen were talking, Han Feng held the Dark Moon sword and effortlessly chopped the zombies that suddenly appeared into several pieces.

After dealing with the zombies, Han Feng immediately turned his head and shouted to Wang Tang: "Hurry up and drive the oil tanker to load the heavy water coolant."

After hearing Han Feng's cry, they were a little stunned. The two people watching Han Feng's performance seemed to have woken up from a dream. They quickly ran to the oil tanker parked at the entrance of the warehouse, started the car, and came to the storage where heavy water was stored. in front of the can.

After Du Yuwen inserted the liquid outlet pipe on the storage tank into the oil filling port of the oil tanker, and made sure it was firmly inserted and stuck, Wang Tang directly pressed the liquid outlet button, and the heavy water with a hint of coldness came out. Follow the liquid outlet pipe and pour it into the oil tanker.

When the indicator light inside the tanker showed that the tank was full and Du Yuwen pulled out the pipe, Han Feng who was standing aside spoke up.

"You two will stay on the tanker truck later and be responsible for escorting the heavy water truck, while I will continue to drive the Unimog RV to help clear the way for you."

He made this choice based on his own judgment. Although the Unimog RV looks like a civilian vehicle, in fact, the strength of the body is much stronger than that of a tanker truck. In case of an emergency, it can also protect the heavy water tank at the rear. tanker truck.

And just now at the checkpoint, he noticed that on the bridge connecting the living area and the work area, there were more than a dozen cars scattered across the bridge, and there were still people standing near those vehicles. A single figure does not look like a survivor.

He had to use his RV to drive away the cars blocking the road and clear the zombies on the bridge before he dared to let the tanker drive onto the bridge.

When Han Feng and his team finished loading the heavy water and left the warehouse.

In the central control room of the work area, the staff were no longer interested in working. In just a few dozen minutes, the temperature of the reactor of Unit 1 rose another twenty degrees, and now the temperature has reached one thousand nineteen. One hundred and thirty degrees, getting closer and closer to the critical value.

Once the critical value is exceeded, the radiation produced by the meltdown of the nuclear fuel rods will instantly permeate the entire working area.

Those workers who stay in the work area without complete protection will immediately be exposed to more than 4,000 millisieverts of nuclear radiation, and almost most of them will die immediately.

The remaining ones who are lucky will die quickly within two to six weeks.

Just as the staff in the central control room were like ants on a hot pot, waiting for the final judgment.

The phone on Du Weiliang's desk rang again: "The convoy that went to the material warehouse to get coolant came back successfully, and they have arrived at the bridge."
