Futaba County.

The hydrogen bomb destroyed everything within the explosion radius with its huge power, but that does not mean that the IAEA only needs to watch.

If there is one business that has been the busiest in the control area in recent days, it is only one: fire fighting.

Fire, countless fires, endless flames like hell.

This was Zhang Meng's impression of the surroundings of the explosion in the past few days. The fiery red of the flames and the gray and black of the ruins made up the entire world.

"Confirm the indicated target, 24 rounds of Type II bombs, release!"

Artillery...ah no, the command from the fire rocket launcher operator came out. The rear of the rocket launcher mounted on the Type 59 universal chassis sprayed out a large cloud of white exhaust gas. Rockets flew out with tail flames, spreading into a line in the sky. White parabola.

A few minutes later, these rockets landed in the target area, and the fuel-air warheads they carried detonated, instantly extinguishing fires covering more than ten square kilometers.

Zhang Meng, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, poked his head out and used a telescope to confirm that the fire-fighting effect was good.

The sound of a huge jet engine was heard overhead. It was a fire-fighting aircraft from a 747 flying over at low altitude.

There were hundreds of tons of water in its cabin, which was thrown from high altitude to form water mist, covering another burning mountain forest.

The current situation in the control area is that there are so many flames. Houses are burning, forests are burning, and grasslands are burning. Nuclear explosions are in the past, but they have brought countless fire hazards.

Even if it is not destroyed, the IAEA still needs to maintain a large number of observation points and carry out exploration work in the surrounding area. Fortunately, the IAEA has allocated a special fund for this matter.

This money is not dug from the original budget, but the control area has opened up new ways to make money.

Zhang Meng checked his watch to check the time and pressed the intercom on his chest:

"In the airspace of Area A, please pay attention to the clearance of more than 1,200 meters. The relevant drones should fly away as soon as possible to prevent hitting tourists!"

"clear!"

"roger!"

"Нетпроблем!"

About four or five minutes later, a small Cessna tourist plane flew over his head and arced at a certain distance around the center of the explosion.

The sightseeing plane will fly back and forth twice so that tourists can observe a small part of the center of the explosion, most of which has been submerged in sea water.

Such sightseeing planes enter the controlled area at three times every day, making hundreds of flights. Seats are always full, and business is extremely good.

Each sightseeing flight needs to be approved by the IAEA and a certain management fee must be paid. It can add up to a lot of money in a few days.

The person who proposed this idea was actually from the island nation. It is said that it was the Minister of Finance, Tsushima Juichi, who directly took over the business.

After all, only a limited number of people can see the explosion site. For more people, it would be nice to see the ruins after the explosion, and the price is not as expensive as the previous boat tickets.

However, just watching it is not enough for some people, and some people on the Internet are even offering high-priced "souvenirs".

The so-called souvenirs generally refer to the green glass stone produced by ultra-high pressure near the center of the explosion. The main components are feldspar and quartz. After the sand is converted into glass, it will gradually fade from the inside out due to high impurity content and radiation contamination. Green and looks very unique.

This is not the first time that green glass stones have been sold well. There were many such souvenirs before Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Americus also opened a nuclear test site to tourists. Many people are keen to collect green glass stones.

Of course, the radiation value of this thing is very high when it is close to the core of the explosion, so it definitely cannot be used as an ornamental object. However, the most indispensable thing in the world is lack of care, and Zhang Meng has always been highly vigilant about this.

The sightseeing opening hours last for 100 minutes each time. When Zhang Meng completed another patrol, the time was almost up, and Tian Zhan's voice came from the intercom:

"Everyone close the team immediately! It may rain after 7 p.m., all equipment will be withdrawn to sub-sites, personnel will stay in the safe house to limit their activities to avoid being contaminated with radioactive dust, and we will hold a unified exchange meeting in the evening, do you understand?"

"yes!"

Zhang Meng immediately took the people back and started to return. Rain is not a good thing for the radiation area.

Condensed water droplets will bring radioactive dust from the air to the soil. Once contaminated by the rainwater, it means direct contact with radiation, and cleaning up will be more troublesome. In fact, the rescue team has been spreading catalysts into the clouds to eliminate the rain, but apparently this is not done. Not 100% sure.

"Each unit reports in turn and counts the personnel. Meet at the gathering point in Area C!"

"Are you going back now?"

Guo Fan looked at the space station reluctantly, but still got into the cabin of the Pioneer.

Wu Jing, who followed closely behind, touched the handle on the bulkhead, obviously reluctant to let go.

It was originally planned that the film crew would only stay on the space station for 14 days, but in fact they have stayed on the space station for 22 days so far.

The movie scene didn't take much time, and the extra time was basically to cooperate with the Advance exercise mission, but the subsequent experience was far more fascinating to the crew than filming in space.

"Lao Guo, if you don't go back during the Spring Festival, you won't be able to catch up. Two years of wandering around the earth will sharpen your sword."

"Yeah...it takes two years to sharpen a sword."

Guo Fan was also in a daze. It took two years to produce a top-notch sci-fi industrial film, and it was completed with the support of a super big financier. It sounded like a dream.

"Hey, don't wait to pick up things!"

A package flew over from the docking port, Guo Fan subconsciously caught it, and then looked at the "dry excrement/sanitary waste" on the label and his face darkened.

The huge amount of garbage generated by the Progress is naturally a lot. Since there is no cargo spacecraft docking for the time being, these garbage can be brought down by the space shuttle with strong descending capability instead of being burned in the atmosphere with the cargo spacecraft.

However, the second option will gradually disappear in the future, because reusable cargo spacecraft will soon be put into operation, and garbage disposal will have to be done in another way.

Guo Fan continued to pass the garbage package down to the cargo hold. Unlike when he came, this time he was in a private seat on the first floor of the cockpit.

This time the Pioneer was carrying all crew members on its descent mission. The main and co-pilot seats were empty and landed automatically.

The remaining 26 astronauts will continue to perform tasks in the space station, and will go down in batches after the New Year, and then prepare to start unmanned rotation tests.

Guo Fan wanted to touch the console, but reason stopped him.

"Want to touch it? If the commander is sitting in the driver's seat with us, maybe it will be fine."

"That's a pity. I'll never have the chance to come here again."

Wu Jing nodded in agreement. The Qianjin was of a special nature and they had seized a unique opportunity. They would not be able to get in even if they spent money in the future. This experience is indeed worth remembering.

"The most regrettable thing is that we can't go to the Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, we can stay in space for a few more days, but we will have to miss it."

Guo Fan: "You mean..."

"Didn't Ami want to hold back a big thing? It can be seen from space. The Steadfast Unity will have a tourist flight on the 19th at the same time. Think about how exciting it would be to see a nuclear explosion from space?

But... I can't seem to afford it. They've raised the price again. If you release it as soon as possible, I'll share the dividends... You guy, you fooled me into investing all my salary! "

"Brother Jing, I am actually preparing for "The Three-Body Problem", otherwise..."
