Chapter 279 Major accident, the base was paralyzed, Yu Fei: escaped again!
Half an hour after the underground accident, chaos had broken out in front of the main experimental base.

"Make way, save people!"

"There's still white smoke coming out over there, don't go over there!"

"Don't move forward, where's the fire-fighting?"

"Damn it, reporters, don't come over here, this is not the time for interviews!"

"..."

Ambulances, police cars, fire trucks, and other types of vehicles were crowded together.

People who escaped from the base, reporters and officials who came to interview after hearing the news, and staff who participated in the rescue.

Everyone is busy.

At this time, several underground passages were still filled with smoke.

Some paramedics rushed in wearing gas masks, but there were still too few people who could get in. The officials in charge kept calling and shouting, "Come for support!"

"Come more people, we need more manpower, and be sure to bring anti-gas equipment."

"The explosion seems to be not over yet, and I can still hear noises coming from inside..."

This made the scene even more chaotic.

Many media reporters found an open space on the outskirts and reported based on the chaos behind them.

"This is the Hadron Collider Experiment Base. During today's experiment, a major accident occurred in the underground experimental equipment."

"It is reported that the accident was most likely caused by the Chaos Field Experiment Group. We can see that smoke is still spreading from the underground passage, and it has been more than 40 minutes since the accident."

"We don't know how many people are trapped inside or how many people are injured or killed, but we can be sure that the losses caused by the accident are incalculable..."

"..."

"This time it was an equipment accident in the Chaos Field Experiment Group."

"Before the experiment started, Professor Zhang Shuo, an internationally renowned mathematician and physicist, warned against conducting experiments on key nodes of the chaotic force field."

"Obviously, his reminder was useless. The nuclear organization still insisted on conducting the experiment, and encountered problems similar to Fermi's last year..."

"..."

"According to the latest report, more than 30 people have been rescued from underground, but there are still many people trapped inside."

"The passage behind me leads to the main underground experimental base. The main experimental base is built around the particle accelerator. There are at least more than 300 scientists and researchers coordinating experiments and working underground..."

"Although there is no accurate data yet, it is certain that this will be a very terrible accident."

……

With a large number of interviews and reports, the news of the accident at the main experimental base spread throughout the world within just a few hours.

Before the nuclear organization conducted experiments, it attracted a lot of international attention.

The experiments are believed to be related to the technology involved in gold manufacturing and ion anti-aircraft weapons.

Many scholars expect the experiment to discover information about unknown nuclear reactions.

With so much attention, a major accident actually occurred, which attracted even more attention. A large number of reporters interviewed and released a lot of information, and photos can be found on the Internet.

Even without official data, many people can rely on the information to make a judgment: "This accident is much more serious than last year's."

"The equipment in last year's accident was on the ground, and it was just an explosion in the laboratory. The impact was not significant for those farther away."

"This time it was dozens or hundreds of meters underground. The explosion is not the most terrifying thing. The laboratory has safety protection against explosions. The most terrifying thing is that the equipment continues to produce a lot of smoke."

"Due to the influence of underground ventilation, smoke has been spreading in the underground passage. If you fail to escape immediately, you may be trapped underground."

"Poisonous gas, suffocation, etc., all kinds of situations are life-threatening..."

"Even when the paramedics arrived at the scene, they were unable to rush to the underground to rescue people immediately."

An important reason why the accident was out of control was that the safety measures before the experiment were all aimed at explosion, and the smoke problem was not considered at all.

Perhaps no one thought that the accident would produce such thick smoke.

Many people also recalled the previous reports. At a domestic press conference, the press officer mentioned Zhang Shuo’s reminder about the experiment.

“Don’t conduct experiments on nodes before you have confirmed the safety of the technology…”

At that time, there were also many reports praising the nuclear organization's safety transformation work and saying that the transformation was moving at a fast pace.

There are also reports that sarcastically said that Zhang Shuo made the special reminder out of selfish motives because the country was worried that other countries or institutions would crack the gold manufacturing and ion defense weapon technology.

It now seems that it is because the country has conducted more in-depth research on new physics and has noticed the risks of chaotic force fields at key nodes that it has taken the initiative to issue risk warnings at press conferences.

……

Institute of High Energy Physics, Center for Physics, Office of Chaos Force Field Research Group.

Zhang Shuo, Yu Fei, Liao Zhenyu and others were checking the information sent by the testing center of the ion cannon R&D base.

The data includes wreckage data information and photos taken on site, and the test was conducted on "ion cannon strike protection based on inert gas field force simulating hyperon decay environment".

After a period of analysis, they have reached a conclusion.

"no problem!"

"From the data, the field force protection effect is very good. The inner layer of the pipeline wall is more affected by the high heat, while the field force has little impact."

"The field force blocking rate is over 97%, which is beyond expectations considering that the protection of the simulation device is not perfect."

After Yu Fei made a summary, he said with surprise, "The protective effect can be confirmed." "From the data of the two measurements, the effect of mixing neon and xenon in proportion is better, and it also supports the experimental research on the chaotic force field."

Zhang Shuo also felt relieved.

The safety of chaos force field experiments has always been a problem, causing the experiments to be unable to proceed normally and the safety transformation work to be suspended.

Now that we have found a technology that can effectively protect the field force, we can continue the experiments on the chaos force field.

The research can continue!

Zhang Shuo also added, "The solution of mixing neon and xenon in proportion is very good. It has a field force protection effect on one hand, and it can also become an important means of detecting the strength of chaotic force field transformation in the future."

The others nodded in understanding.

Xenon is barely affected by the transformation force, while neon reacts somewhat.

Subsequent chaotic force field experiments will be conducted to detect the loss ratio of neon gas, which will provide important data information on the changes in the chaotic force field in the experiment.

After the technical solution was confirmed to be effective, everyone relaxed and started talking about other topics.

The biggest international focus is undoubtedly the latest underground experiment accident.

"There really was an accident, and it happened underground. Look at the photos, the underground was filled with smoke."

"The incident was bigger than last year and the impact was greater."

"I didn't think it was an explosion before. It turns out that the explosion was not the worst thing. The worst thing was the smoke..."

"The underground ventilation is very poor, and smoke exhaust is a big problem, but it feels like the reaction explosion is much higher than last year's Fermi."

When talking about last year's experimental accident, Yu Fei, Deng Yunshan and others felt scared. Fortunately, they were not allowed to participate in the experiment, otherwise they would have suffered tremendous pain.

"Why is it so serious? I saw on the Internet that half an hour after the accident, white smoke was still coming out of the equipment room..."

After Yu Fei asked the question, everyone else saw Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo thought about it and said, "Maybe it was affected by those security modifications?"

"why?"

"Can it have a counter-effect?"

"possible."

Zhang Shuo said, "I saw some news saying that they added a high-density explosion-proof isolation layer inside the equipment."

"Not only does this explosion-proof isolation layer fail to block the reaction, the high-density material will intensify the reaction."

The others understood and listened carefully. They were about to restart the safety transformation work. Even though they had mastered the technology to isolate the diffusion of field force, they still wanted to know more about the characteristics of the "dangerous point".

Deng Yunshan said fearfully, "It's a good thing they didn't invite us, otherwise we might have really participated in the experiments in the underground base."

Yu Fei nodded after thinking about it.

Most of the invited teams from other countries and institutions participated in the subsequent data analysis of the experiment.

They are different.

Currently, there are only two institutions in the world that can conduct chaotic force field experiments, and they have always had close cooperation with the Nuclear Organization's Strong Magnetic Interference Hyperon Decay Experiment Group.

The cooperation between the two sides was very close before, and if they are invited to participate in the experiment, it is very likely that some people will go to the underground laboratory.

Come to think of it, does it feel like you’ve escaped a disaster again?
"Ah~~"

Zhang Shuo let out a long sigh.

He does not want to see experimental accidents happen, as most of the casualties in experimental accidents are scientific researchers.

A major accident would have a huge impact.

However, there is nothing we can do if we cannot persuade him.

Put yourself in their shoes. Other countries have mastered a very advanced technology, and they may discover information related to the advanced technology during an experiment.

Countries that control the technology advised them not to conduct experiments.

how can that be possible?
No matter how great the risk, the experiment must be carried out.

Yu Fei suddenly said, "Such a big accident...they can't do the experiment anymore, right?"

Others immediately started discussing, "The main equipment is damaged."

"I read in the report that the damage caused by the accident is incalculable, and even the particle accelerator pipeline has been affected."

"It's the same as Fermi's, maybe even worse."

"If we want to restart the experiment, it will take at least two or three years..."

This is everyone's judgment.

The member countries and institutions of the Nuclear Organization have also considered the problem of experiments being unable to continue after an accident.

The accident has already happened and cannot be changed.

However, many countries, institutions, and individual scholars still hope to have the opportunity to participate in experiments to explore chaotic force fields and new physics.

The Chaos Force Field Research Group of the Institute of High Energy Physics has once again attracted international attention.

Now only the Chaos Field Research Group has the ability to restart the experiment in a short period of time. But with such a big accident, will they still insist on continuing the experiment?

Many institutional teams have been trying to find out more about the Chaos Force Field Research Group's movements.
