The infinite base of the heavens

Chapter 518 One after another
518、One after another

Torch City has a nuclear power plant, or in fact many cities in this world are using nuclear power plants to supply electricity.Thanks to the development of technology, nuclear reactors have also become more miniaturized, and the construction cost of nuclear power plants has also been greatly reduced.

Although Tiberium mines can also be used to generate electricity, the efficiency of this power station needs to be improved, and the utilization rate of Tiberium mines is not high.So many places use Tiberium ore to convert it into nuclear fuel, and then use traditional nuclear power plants to generate electricity.

Therefore, until the Tiberium technology is further developed, the overall efficiency of the Tiberium power station is still not as good as that of the nuclear power station.The same is true for the Tiberium power station technology obtained by Chun Yuyan. After all, he obtained the Tiberium power station technology from Qi Wei, and the power station in Qi Wei's hands is just a remnant of the Nod Brotherhood's last war That's all.

And if the infinite base hadn't been upgraded to level 4 to unlock the upgrade function, then if Chun Yuyan wanted to meet the increasing energy requirements of the ruined city, he would have to build hundreds or thousands of Tiberium power stations.

And now, Lu Weiwei, Ni Dong, and Marlowe are standing outside the nuclear power plant near Torch City.This nuclear power plant is located on the edge of a small town in the west of Torch City, about 5 kilometers away from Torch City.

They did not enter the nuclear power plant, because the nuclear power plant has been engulfed in flames.The local garrison has arrived, and thousands of soldiers and construction machinery of various sizes have been mobilized from Torch City to come to the rescue.They used a solution extracted from Tiberium ore to spray on the burning reactor core, which can absorb nuclear radiation through the characteristics of Tiberium ore, but the downside is that this area will be like red for a long time. Tiberium crystals are everywhere, and they cannot survive.

"I want a damage report!" Lu Weiwei's closed eyes trembled slightly, his chest heaved violently, and he was already extremely angry.

A soldier came over to salute, and then said: "The fire at the scene is too big, but the preliminary judgment is that the reactor core exploded. Three of the five units of the nuclear power plant have core meltdowns, and the second unit exploded. The casualties are still being counted, but it is estimated that all 20 people who were on duty at Unit [-] at the time died inside."

"Lockdown all the areas around the nuclear power plant, and thoroughly investigate everyone here! I want to find out the eighteen generations of ancestors of these people!" Lu Weiwei yelled angrily.

"You mean it's man-made sabotage? Intuition?" Marrowe asked with an ugly face, too.

"This is no longer intuition, but a rational judgment." Ni Dong added from the side.

The nuclear power plant is now in a mess, and the three of them stayed here to direct the disaster relief work.After disappearing for more than an hour, two scientists came over with laptops, "General! The accident report has come out."

"Say!" Lu Weiwei waved his hand.

The two scientists looked at each other and said: "The cause of the explosion was a sudden power failure of the power supply system of the nuclear power plant, which caused the cooling system to stop and the water pump to stop working. After the core fuel rods of the reactor evaporated all the water in the cooling pool, the high temperature further increased the water vapor. The hydrogen was separated, and then the volume expanded rapidly, causing an explosion and combustion. The technicians of units [-] and [-] manually opened the exhaust valves and artificially poured liquid Tiberium to stop the chain reaction, which prevented the explosion. But these technicians also sacrificed because of it..."

"Even if there is a sudden power failure, we still have a fuel generator as a backup power source! Could it be that the backup power source is also destroyed?" Lu Weiwei asked sharply, "You must know that even in an ion storm, the operation of the diesel generator will not be affected! "

One of the scientists beckoned, and a soldier behind him came over driving a humanoid engineering mecha. The mecha held a charred device wreckage in its hand. There was still a lot of green solution on the wreckage, and the nuclear radiation on it had been absorbed. And neutralized.

"This is something we found at the site, not a nuclear power plant. And we found traces of a reactive flow generator on this thing. Although the manufacturing process is somewhat different, it is basically certain that this thing is used to generate electromagnetic pulses ’ said the scientist.

"In other words, this is an EMP bomb? Our nuclear power plant was attacked with an EMP bomb?! No wonder even the backup diesel generator failed! When the EMP bomb exploded, it may have completely destroyed the entire power transmission network It's gone!" Ni Dong said bitterly.

"I want to know why this nuclear power plant was guarded by a company of soldiers, but it was blown up without any information!" Lu Weiwei said loudly.

"Just now I have interrogated the company commander guarding the nuclear power plant, and I have also interrogated almost all the soldiers. They have not found any clues. The technical department is checking the surveillance video. In the previous 24 hours, no suspicious personnel have entered, and there is There's nothing that could go in," Marrowway said.

"Then could it be that such a large EMP bomb was conjured out of thin air?!" Lu Weiwei roared, but then he calmed down again, "Then there is only one possibility—the experimenter. And he has the ability to sneak into the nuclear power plant quietly. The experimenter, the level is not low."

"Invisibility or teleportation?" Ni Dong frowned and said, "To be honest, in the entire East Third District, according to our intelligence, no one has such ability. And what is he trying to do by blowing up the nuclear power plant? This bombing incident , it seems that none of the larger forces around can benefit... Could it be GDI?"

Lu Weiwei nodded and said: "It will be very difficult for GDI to cross the Green Stone Mountain in the south and enter the East Third District. The existence of Green Stone Mountain will make their armored logistics unable to keep up. But now we can only think so for the time being. If it is really If it is GDI, then our progress must be accelerated!"

At this time, another officer came over, saluted the three of them and said: "Report to the general, the accident investigation report has come out. Although all the monitoring systems were destroyed by EMP, we still found some operation records. Earlier, a team member named Qian Hao used his ID card to enter the turbine room. Then the explosion center of the EMP was in the turbine room."

"Why did the EMP in the turbine room cause the reactor to explode?" Ni Dong asked.

"The other party is obviously very familiar with the internal structure and operation of the nuclear power plant. The turbine room is connected to the generator, and the water vapor generated by the core of the reactor will enter the turbine room to drive the turbine to generate electricity, and then pump the cooled water into the condensation chamber. Allow to cool.

In other words, although the turbine room is not the core area of ​​the nuclear power plant, it is the area with the most densely populated lines. If someone is very familiar with the operation of the nuclear power plant and has EMP bombs, it is indeed possible to cause a power outage in the turbine room. triggering a reactor explosion.In other words, Qian Hao is indeed the biggest suspect. ’ replied the officer.

"Aren't you an experimenter..." Ni Dong frowned and began to think.

"Then what about Qian Haoren?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"His body was found at the scene. Although his head was basically blown away, his clothes and documents belonged to him, and his identity was confirmed through DNA testing." The officer replied, and then took out another stack of documents, "In addition, we have investigated all his social relations. How should I put it... Qian Hao is a gentle and honest person, with a good income, a high degree of education, and a childhood sweetheart wife who is still planning to have a child this year. Nothing happened that might provoke him...but...he did it, for no reason..."

"Aside from the DNA test, has there been an autopsy on his body?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"After the autopsy, there was no abnormality. He died because of the explosion, and he also had moderate fatty liver and frozen shoulder, which was in line with his usual living conditions."

"Isn't it 'completely healthy'... that's right, it's a dead person after all..." Lu Weiwei pondered for a moment, then said: "Continue to investigate the cause of the incident, and then arrange for people to conduct a test on all the people who went to work at the nuclear power plant that day! Dead An autopsy, and a physical examination is required for the living!"

"Physical examination...? Uh... obey the order." The officer was a little strange about the order, pondered for a while and nodded, and went to arrange it.

"Are you still thinking about that intuition?" Ni Dong said.

"If it's not an experimenter, then it's an insider. The rules of the world of "Command and Conquer" are different from other worlds. Most of the experimenters in this world have their own sphere of influence, and they won't run around randomly. It is unlikely that the strange experimenter who blew up the nuclear power plant would come to our place. Then we have to consider the traitor."

"But the suspect has no motive..." Ni Dong sighed.

"According to the battle plan, we should now send troops to take over Tongzhu Town in the southwest." Marrowe reminded from the side.

"General! It's not good!!" A soldier ran over panting, "Just now there was an accident in the granary in Torch City!! The granary manager poured Tiberium mine into the warehouse, and then jumped into it and committed suicide !!"
