021 The speed of life and death

Wang Fei seemed to be brave enough to put his hand on the manual switch of the fire door, took a few deep breaths, and gradually exerted force on his palm, causing the gate to start to make a "crunching" sound.

"Oh, wait a moment."

Wang Fei, who had already accumulated a tragic momentum, suddenly stopped: "The faster I am inside, the better, right? Then I will use my mental power to simulate the action route outside, it will not be good~"

"Damn, I'm deceiving my feelings. I just thought you were a little tall, but I just thought about something that was not there."

Xiu Pi looked down on Wang Fei's little abacus: "Your mental power cannot penetrate the protective wall here. Hurry up, don't be in the ink outside. Haven't you seen the structural diagram many times?"

"Tsk, just go in, I'll go."

Wang Fei did not hesitate anymore and directly opened the gate of the reactor core compartment, then quickly handed the Geiger counter in his hand, swaying left and right.

"Well, the radiation value is OK, at least it has not exploded, so it should be able to withstand it."

Wang Fei, wearing a protective mask, took a deep breath and pushed the cart into this place of death.

The core cabin room was a little messy, with many lines that should have been well organized, and the pipelines fell down due to the crash of the spacecraft, making Wang Fei feel as if he was under the vines of a tropical rainforest.

While using the Geiger counter to measure the radiation level, Wang Fei was looking for the equipment to be operated later, while charging the batteries of some equipment, and then repairing several damages with a GLOO gun.

"The current radiation level is acceptable to me. The most dangerous thing is when I take out the fuel rod from the core. Since there is no electricity, I can only operate it manually. The faster I complete it, the shorter the time I will be exposed to radiation, and there must be no mistakes."

Wang Fei parked the trolley in the fuel unloading area, and based on years of mechanical experience and the command of Xiaoshou, he started the manual pop-up program of the fuel rod step by step.

When everything was ready, he calmed down a little and uncovered the hatch of the reactor core.

The core is a deep pit like a water well. The bottom of the well is a honeycomb-shaped grid structure loaded with fuel rods. The grid is filled with a shallow layer of protective liquid.

The moment the core was opened, the Geiger counter beside Wang Fei immediately began to alert him, which made him feel numb in his scalp and he quickly took a look at the value.

Fortunately, the tolerance limit set by the skin rest has not exceeded, and the work can continue.

Wang Fei then poked his mental power out to check the condition inside the core. At this time, the protective fluid used to block neutrons and nuclear radiation in the core was reduced sharply, but the shells of some fuel rods were significantly damaged and melted, which was simply a life-threatening person.

The fuel rod is very safe before it reacts and can even be directly contacted by hand. Moreover, the outer layer of the fuel rod has a fuel cladding to serve as the first layer of protection for core leakage;

However, once the fuel rod is fissioned, high-radiation radioactive products will be generated inside, and the damage to the fuel cladding makes a disaster happen.

This is the difficult situation that Wang Fei faced at this time.

"Brother, it's still time to stop now." Xiupi couldn't help but remind him.

Wang Fei smiled, shook his head slightly, and said nothing. He manually controlled a robotic arm and slowly lowered it carefully. He clamped out a fuel rod with intact shell like a doll.

Although the housing of this fuel rod is intact, it is placed in a high-radiation environment for a long time. Therefore, the moment the fuel rod leaves the protective liquid, the Geiger counter immediately emits a blast, warning the user that the radiation has reached a dangerous level.

Wang Fei ignored the alarm, and his hand still moved the joystick steadily, and finally put the fuel rod smoothly on the transport cart.

"It's done!" Xiupi said excitedly: "Go away quickly, while the radiation dose is not too much!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Fei shook his head again and continued to control the robot to grab the second fuel rod: "It's not enough. I don't know how many fuel rods are left are useless. I have to take a few more to ensure sufficient fuel."

"Don't die you!" Xiupi was stunned: "The current radiation dose is enough for you, and you still have to continue irradiating it?

Go quickly, I have calculated that every intact fuel rod has an 80% chance of restarting the backup reactor!”

“Not enough!”

Wang Fei's eyes were red, and he stared at the manipulator in operation: "This is the only opportunity for me to control my own destiny. I cannot give my destiny to illusory luck. Even if I die, I will kill all the insects and die again, instead of dying in the insect's stomach!"

"You..." Xiupi didn't expect Wang Fei to make such a choice, as if he had known him again, and fell into silence...

Finally, Wang Fei unloaded two intact fuel rods and fixed them on the cart with the first one.

"It's time to go!"

Wang Fei grinned, and could not tell that this was a dying person who suffered fatal radiation.

He locked the hatch cover of the core again, pushed the cart out of the core compartment, turned around and locked the isolation door again, and with the solid protection of the core compartment, it would be difficult for the insect to steal the house.

Wang Fei pushed the cart and ran in the corridor full of messy garbage. If it weren't for the darkness and deadly goods that were missing, he would be no different from an ordinary courier.

"Hu, I said, "I'm a little tired, why am I a little tired? I haven't exercised for too long?" Wang Fei panted while running: "Hu, too, I feel a little hot, I feel like my body is about to get burned!"

Xiupi listened silently, not knowing how to tell him that this was an early symptom after being exposed to radiation.

Finally, Wang Fei arrived at his destination and almost overturned the car on the way several times. Fortunately, he was rescued by his lack of mental power.

Unlock the safety lock, open the hatch cover, load the fuel rod, close the hatch cover, and use the fuel found in the warehouse to start the reactor's supporting motor...

After everything was ready, Wang Fei came to the console of the backup reactor: "The next time is the moment to witness the miracle!"

He pressed his only remaining right hand on the start button and began to count down his mind:

start up!

The button is pressed:

Bang, buzz...

The reactor buzzed, and the blue light in the core began to bloom. The indoor lighting lights lit up instantly, leaving a line of clear tears in the corner of Wang Fei's eyes. I don't know if the lights were too dazzling.

"Finally, I'm done. Next, just go to the main control room to check the status. I finally want to... vomit..."

Wang Fei, who was about to express his ambitions, was interrupted by a sudden vomiting. He held the wall and vomited violently, spitting out a large amount of undiluted food, gastric juice, bile and even blood...

After a long time, the vomiting gradually subsided. Wang Fei took a few breaths and said tiredly: "Pipi, how much time do I have?"

"Please cheer up, bastard, listen to my instructions and act next, I won't let you die!"
Chapter completed!
