Chapter 170 A near miss
The entire Nuclear Energy Research Institute, whether on-the-job or on leave, was urgently mobilized.
Their main job is to find cats and search for signs of cats escaping.
Every line along the way must be scanned with instruments to detect radioactivity.
The workload is undoubtedly huge.
The walls were torn down and the land was dug up.
It seems exaggerated, but it is the most economical and trouble-free way.
Then use a truck to throw them to a unified place for landfill.
Fortunately, the area around here is a development area, which is relatively remote, and most of the houses are unoccupied.
Wild cats will not run into people's homes.
As long as you stay at home, nothing will happen.
The only thing that bothered them was that the cat was missing and couldn't be found at all.
A lot of land nearby has not yet been developed, and there is no monitoring at all. The cat burrowed into the grass and disappeared without a trace.
However, according to expert calculations, cats carry so much nuclear material, and judging from their body structure, they may have become cold by now.
Even if he wasn't dead, he probably wouldn't be able to walk any further, so it would only be a matter of time before he found it.
But in contrast, Xihai City was boiling at the moment.
As He Shuji's order was issued, all kinds of overwhelming propaganda instantly caused panic throughout the city.
First, there was a bombardment of text messages. Every citizen in Xihai City received a message on their mobile phone reminding them to self-isolate and not to run around.
Followed by television stations and radio.
But local TV stations are watched by relatively few people, so the effect is minimal.
The biggest publicity force is the police on patrol.
A large number of traffic police were on the street to maintain order. Police cars flashed double lights and turned on loudspeakers to play in a loop to persuade everyone not to leave the room without permission.
Seeing such a huge battle, even the most reckless person knew that something serious was going on. They all hid in their houses obediently, and no one went out.
But privately, it has already exploded.
Forums, friend circles, and discussion groups are almost all talking about related topics.
——[Thanks to Lin Yuan, I can fish again. It feels so good not to go to work in the afternoon, hehe! 】
——[You are so big-hearted, aren’t you afraid of being infected by radiation? That thing is deadly! 】
——[I’m just scared, so I’ll be fine if I hide at home. As long as I don’t come into contact with other people, I won’t be infected. 】
——[Grapevine, the first two people infected showed up yesterday. How do you know if you have been in contact with them, just in case. 】
——[Damn it! Really or not, these two guys are so mean-spirited. I just want to know what the sentence will be if they are caught? Life imprisonment or death penalty? 】
——[Lin Yuan was also infected today and is being checked in the hospital next door, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. To be honest, we all have to thank him, otherwise a lot of people will die, and even if they don’t die, their skin will be peeled off. 】
At this moment, the local forum company in Xihai City is in chaos.
The manager watched the network department staff sweating profusely repairing the network, and his heart was always hanging.
In the past few years, the local forum was particularly popular and made him a lot of money.
But in recent years, Weibo, forums, and post bars have almost become a thing of the past and have been eliminated.
The company's revenue has also been declining a little bit, and it is about to go bankrupt.
But for a while, it suddenly exploded inexplicably.
It gave him renewed hope.
After some investigation, I realized that it was related to a person named Lin Yuan.
I thought it was just a lucky break.
As a result, every day that followed, the forum was in a state of explosion.
A large number of people from Xihai City exchanged questions in the forum, but the topic basically couldn't be separated from Lin Yuan.
In just one week, he was brought back to life.
Many businesses came to him to cooperate with him in advertising, and some venture capitalists approached him to discuss investment.
The feeling of being hit on the head by this heaven-shattering wealth is really great.
But today!
Not surprisingly, the forum exploded again.
But this time is different! !
In the past, there were up to 100,000 people online at the same time.
Now, there are more than 500,000 people online at the same time!
After all, this number is still increasing crazily.
In a short period of time, more than 200,000 people have successfully registered as members.
What a concept!
Such data, in the past, might not have been achieved in a year's total.
It gave him the illusion that everyone in Xihai City was coming.
It seems like a good thing, but the problem is that the server can’t handle it! !
If the network department hadn't tried every means to maintain it, the forum would have exploded long ago.
If the situation that has finally been revitalized explodes at a critical moment, not to mention returning to before liberation overnight, at least 100,000 customers will be lost.
Thinking of this, the manager couldn't help but take a deep breath and said to the network employees with a solemn look: "I don't care what method you use, you must stay still and not collapse. If you succeed this time, you will be the company director and you will get a year-end bonus." Ten times that!"
Hearing this, the maintenance staff felt like they were on fire and worked like crazy.
He Shuji specially called the media reporters, and personally took Secretary Li to follow the nuclear energy experts from the next city, visiting and inspecting door to door, and broadcasting the entire process live.
On the one hand, it tells everyone to pay attention to isolation, and on the other hand, it also tells them not to panic too much.
As long as everyone cooperates well, this problem can be solved soon.
that's the truth.
Over at the scrap station, Director Yang made preparations in advance to ensure that radiation would not leak out.
And after interrogating the two thieves, he immediately planned their route yesterday.
Fortunately, they are both Internet bugs. They spend most of their time in Internet cafes or sleeping in rented houses, and have very few real contacts with people.
After the medical staff joined in, they uniformly wore protective clothing and held testing instruments, and the efficiency instantly increased many times.
After all, it doesn’t require any skills, you just need to scan it, which is very trouble-free.
Anyone found to have excessive radiation will be isolated and transferred to a hospital for treatment.
During this period, several incidents of excessive radiation were accidentally discovered.
One little girl in particular has a so-called energy stone hanging around her neck.
The parents bought it from an unknown master.
It is said that it can ward off evil spirits and make children grow taller, develop better and be smarter.
As a result, ever since I brought that thing, my face has not felt better, and I have nosebleeds frequently. My parents thought she was sick and didn't take it seriously.
It wasn't until the moment when the radiation exceeded the standard that I suddenly realized it and kept thanking the people who came to visit me.
If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid you will die at its hands sooner or later.
As time goes by, the sky gradually changes from a bright sun to a sky full of stars.
The number of special vehicles on the streets has gradually decreased and been replaced by private cars.
There was also a hint of fireworks at the entrance of the deserted community, and people who had been worried all afternoon came out to get some fresh air.
A thrilling nuclear leak was solved unknowingly.
The citizens were living as usual again, except that their after-dinner topics were basically related to this.
The scrapyard is not so lucky, there are many places for wild cats to pass by.
Whether it is dismantling the scrap station or digging the ground, it will not be solved in a short time.
Residents living nearby can only continue to isolate themselves. Fortunately, the government delivers supplies to them on time and on time, so they will not starve to death.
Lin Yuan was safely discharged from the hospital after an afternoon of treatment.
The moment they walked out of the hospital, looking at the stars in the sky, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
