When the first explosion occurred in the mutation area, Lou Xiaoning and the other detection personnel were not far from the demarcation line. They were all wearing heavy nuclear radiation protection suits, but they were still rushed out by a huge air wave generated by the explosion. A few meters away, it was almost flying, and everyone rushed outside as soon as they recovered.
But they experienced it firsthand. There was no flame or any clear dark force when it exploded, as if it came out of nowhere.
It seemed that there was more and more gas in a plastic bag, and finally exploded with a bang, and then the gas spread to a bigger plastic bag.
After the explosion, the area of the mutation area became about 30,000 square meters, an increase of 100 times; the radiation dose measured by unmanned detectors was 13.7 gy/h, more than doubled. Counting from the time Tian Fuhou woke up at about 6:15, only about four hours had passed since the explosion.
The second explosion occurred at 16:03 that afternoon, 6 hours after the last explosion.
The sound of the explosion was even more shocking. After the explosion, the area of the mutation area was about 3 million square meters, or 3 square kilometers, which was also enlarged by 100 times, and the radiation dose was 25.2 gy/h.
By this time, old man Tian Fuhou's forest farm had completely fallen, as did a large circle around the forest farm. The land had become scorched black and the air was full of radiation.
Those trees that had been planted for decades, pine trees, locust trees, poplars... all quickly burst and withered, disappearing one by one.
In front of the screen in the command center, people are heartbroken to see that the old couple Tian Fuhou and Zhang Maidong have worked hard for decades to have these hundreds of acres of forest land converted from desert, but now it is swallowed by the abyss and completely turned into a forest. An even more desolate scorched earth.
When the last tree in the woodland also disappeared, the explosion did not happen, which also shattered one of their assumptions.
It is not that the explosion and expansion will occur when all the trees in the mutation area disappear.
But what about those trees? Are living creatures more affected by space pull? What are the conditions that cause the region to expand, and how to slow it down and stop it
After more than 10 hours, at 2:18 am on March 15, the third explosion occurred.
This time, the area of the abnormal area has only expanded by 10 times, but it has reached about 30 square kilometers, and the radiation dose is 30.6 gy/h.
The village of Beixun Village is all over.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. All the people in the village had been evacuated long ago, as were pets, poultry and other animals, and all wild animals that could be evacuated were also evacuated. Nuclear radiation can cause genetic mutations. If these animals are allowed to stay inside, mutated organisms, viruses and bacteria may breed.
As for Maerwan District, which has six small towns including Yunlin Town, the evacuation work has been carried out urgently for a long time.
But this mutation area is constantly expanding rapidly, from 300 square meters to 30 square kilometers in less than a day, an increase of 100,000 times.
If this speed is allowed to continue, in one day, the entire Mobei will be turned into wasteland, and in less than a week, the entire territory will be destroyed.
Although nuclear radiation is no small matter, when the Mobei Astronomical Bureau received a call from the Yunlin Town Police Department, it really did not expect the situation to deteriorate so rapidly. Now the country has raised this matter to the highest level, and the top has issued a death order, and must prevent the mutated area from continuing to expand.
In fact, no one needs to give orders, and everyone understands this mission.
Legionnaires' disease can also isolate the epidemic area and delay the spread of the germs; but once the explosion occurs in this mutation area, it will expand instantly and nuclear radiation will appear instantly, and no one can escape. Even the evacuation cannot be completed so quickly, and in the end, where can the evacuation go.
The goa concentric team and multiple mobile task forces have been dispatched, and the Tianji Bureau has put its greatest strength into Mobei.
A group of GOA member states are also urgently supporting, not to mention whether the mutated area will eventually spread to their borders, radioactive materials will float with the wind and pollute water sources. Once the area gets big enough and the radiation becomes able to escape, that will destroy the world as well.
During the period from the accident to the third explosion, the Tianji Bureau did not sit still, but tried various methods.
I tried to put some old Yinshi towns on the border, and I also tried to launch missiles to bomb the abnormal area, but there was no obvious effect, and the second explosion came.
Later, they tried to treat the abnormal area as a leaky nuclear reactor, and used helicopters to drop boric acid from the sky to block nuclear radiation.
But the third explosion came.
"Why did it take 10 hours this time, and it was only 10 times larger?"
The command center of the headquarters, commanders such as Master Tong, researchers, and nuclear engineers will not underestimate this change, and the expansion speed seems to have slowed down! Is it because of boric acid? Or is the mutation area inherently bigger and slower to expand
There is another situation worth noting, trees.
From the beginning to after the first explosion, the mutation area was limited to Tian Fuhou's forest farm, so there were trees everywhere in the area.
But after the second explosion, the forest farm only occupied about half of the 3 square kilometers, and the rest was almost all wasteland, with not a single weed.
"Let's try to think of this mutant area as a living body." Master Tong thought of this idea again, "Some rituals are also like living bodies, which need to be sacrificed, devoured, and grown. Will this area need these? Flowers, plants, trees, and other living things, the more they eat, the faster they expand, and vice versa."
This is a hypothesis, but it is also the only possibility that can be imagined and countermeasures can be taken.
In this uncertain situation, the action of spreading boric acid to the mutation area continued, and at the same time, personnel were dispatched to destroy the plants around the area first.
The 10 kilometers around the area was designated as an "isolation circle". All the trees in the isolation circle were cut down and transported away, and other plants such as flowers and plants were burned on the spot.
The isolation circle was not drawn too big first, because it had to be rushed, and there was another possibility, the barren environment would actually encourage the expansion of the mutation area.
And the trees in the area will become inaccessible, which has been confirmed by the probe car and the mouse, so the command center did not send a large number of people in, and did not make unnecessary sacrifices. With a radiation dose of 30.6 gy/h, even going in for just one minute will cause damage to the body.
But also in this case, the goa concentric team is going to send people into the mutation area for perception exploration, and the time is 5 minutes.
At the same time, the Energy Research Institute came out with a result. Tong Ye and Yao Shinian looked at the result, not knowing what it meant.
The radioactive material in the mutation area is not in the nuclear reactor, but a nuclear explosion, a super-large-yield nuclear explosion.
But the place where the nuclear explosion occurred cannot be there.
