Chapter 180 Accident Investigation

Three days have passed since the July 29 accident.

The Seventh Fleet, which suffered such heavy losses, had to postpone the exercise in Jianghua Bay on August 5.

Some of the auxiliary ships stayed in the waters of the accident, and the remaining warships turned to the Sasebo base in Japan.

As the commander, Lieutenant General Willard did not follow the flagship Blue Ridge to Sasebo, but stayed in the waters of the accident.

Over the past few days, the more he thinks about it, the more something is wrong.

It is understandable if a ship has a problem, but if two ships have a problem together, it is still at this critical moment. He has to wonder if there is something wrong with it.

In fact, Willard has some little thoughts. If it is found that the accident was caused by other reasons, he can still blame him, otherwise he can bear the responsibility for this accident.

So no matter what, he had to stay. Willard died with his eyes closed without figuring out this matter.

A C5 transport aircraft that flew over from California quickly landed at Naha Airport in the Okinawa Islands. Then four special scientific research submarines were unloaded from the C5 transport aircraft.

These special scientific research submarines have a round shape and are specially prepared for deep-sea scientific research. The empty load is 2.16 tons, and can carry 400 kilograms of items. The maximum dive depth is about 8,000 meters.

The head of the Mid-English army in Naha hurriedly transported these special scientific research submarines and a large number of materials to the accident waters through transport ships.

Following the transport ship, there were also Pentagon commissioners and five experts in related fields.

As soon as the transport ship arrived at the accident waters, one of the auxiliary ships leaned over.

Two serious commissioners, one man and one woman.

"Lieutenant General, I am Simon Manhattan." The male commissioner smiled and shook hands with Willard.

The female commissioner on the side seemed cold and said just one sentence: "I am Karina K Eddy."

"Lieutenant General, let's take the black boxes of the two ships first." Simon Manhattan said.

"Ok." Willard was also impatient.

Not all four scientific research submarines were put into the Pacific Trench after the robotic arms were transformed.

This Pacific Trench is actually the Okinawa Trench. Fortunately, they sank in the northern section of the Okinawa Trench, with an average water depth of about 20004,000 meters.

If it is the southern section of the Okinawa Trench, it may be even more troublesome, because the water depth there is around 40006000 meters.

As the depth of seawater increases, the difficulty of submarines increases greatly.

Six remote-control personnel of scientific research submarines operate the submarines to quickly submerge. This small scientific research submarine can only use unmanned remote control.

There is also a designer from Washington and a designer from Los Angeles, who are also on the side, ready to provide technical guidance at any time.

Half an hour later, the scientific research submarine discovered the Washington on the seabed at a depth of about 3,470 meters. At this time, the Washington was lying on the side of the seabed and the propeller had stopped working.

"Director Simon, the situation is not very good. The reactor has burned through the protective layer. The nuclear radiation concentration in the surrounding sea water is very high now." Reported by the operator's bad face.

Simon Manhattan thought for a while, turned to the aircraft carrier designer Anthony and asked, "Dr. Anthony, we need your technical guidance."

"Ok." The old Mediterranean nodded.

He looked at the radiation dose level, the monitoring screen, and the sonar detection results, and took out another piece of draft paper and wrote and painted for more than ten minutes.

"There are three black boxes on the Washington, namely the one on the bow, the island, the stern, and the stern of the ship do not need to be considered for the time being. The easiest way to obtain the island at present, you are like this..."

Under Anthony's guidance, the operator quickly manipulated the submarine to approach the island.

As soon as you approach the ship island, many debris or bones and incomplete corpses appeared in the surveillance screen.

Coupled with the cold and dark environment, it seems even more invasive. Many undersea creatures have begun to entrench on the island. It is obvious that the corpses inside have attracted these undersea creatures.

Despite the guidance of designer Anthony, the position of the black box is designed very firmly, and the island was hit by the propeller of the auxiliary ship before, which made it more difficult to remove the black box.

They were busy for more than a week and worked hard to successfully remove a black box from the Washington.

As for the black box of the Los Angeles, although they had already determined the sinking position, they were unfortunately dead. The Los Angeles fell into a crack under the sea.

The specific depth reaches about 4,590 meters. What's even more troublesome is that the head of the Los Angeles is directly inserted into the cracks in Haiti, while the tail is also a reactor leak.

After discussing with Lieutenant General Simon Manhattan and Lieutenant General Willard, he decided to analyze the black box of Washington while waiting for the black box of Los Angeles to be taken out.

Since the black box of the Washington USS has very important information, overseas bases do not have the authority to retrieve the contents.

Special commissioner Karina K Eddie personally escorted the black box back to the local area.

The miserable Lieutenant General Willard can only continue to catch the black box of the Los Angeles in the waters of the accident.

However, these days, the troubles came one after another. First, they were suspended, and then Lucia, the humanitarian rescue fleet in China, and other brothers' rescue fleets came here to make a comeback.

Especially after detecting signs of nuclear leakage, I continued to greet the United States deeply.

I had previously swear that there would be no leakage, but now the radiation dose level in the surrounding waters has increased by more than ten times.

Lucia and China, who were causing trouble, quickly promoted the Internet to the world through the Internet, such as the nuclear radiation concentration seriously exceeding the standard, and the Pacific circulation will bring radioactive materials to Japan, California, Hawaii, etc.

For a time, large-scale anti-nuclear protests occurred in Japan and California, causing the whole world to pay attention to this matter.

...

California.

In a heavily guarded base, a small transport plane quickly landed on the base's runway.

Karina K Eddie came here with a black box, and the designer Anthony came with him.

They came to the inside of the base and handed over the black box to relevant personnel. After obtaining authorization, the data of the black box of the Washington was finally read out.

Technical personnel including Anthony, as well as Karina K Eddie's intelligence personnel, conducted a comprehensive analysis of the black box data.

"Strange..." Levitra Ford, an engineer in charge of the reactor, frowned.

Karina K Eddie asked: "Dr. Ford, is there any data problem?"

Levitra nodded: "The reactor suddenly stopped, but there was no fault data on the control system and the detection system. It seemed that the neutron dose suddenly dropped to zero."

"Doctor, under what circumstances will neutron radiation return to zero?" Karina K Eddie asked quickly.

However, Levith Ford shook his head directly: "No, the neutron radiation of the reactor will never return to zero, and can only be blocked through graphite barrier rods to prevent large-scale chain reactions of nuclear fuel."

"Is there any way to prevent nuclear fuel from producing neutrons?" Karina K Eddie asked unwillingly.
