Terrifying radiation levels

Upon hearing this, the boss was dumbfounded, standing frozen in place, his brain seemingly crashed.

Unimaginable!!

If no accident had happened today.

He definitely would have given it to his daughter.

The result...

My goodness!!

In comparison, although the situation is very serious now, he would rather be scolded than have his daughter suffer.

On second thought, not only could he not blame that cat, but he should thank it instead.

But everyone else would suffer.

In less than half an hour, Director Yang arrived at the scene with the nuclear Experts, but they did not dare to approach, stopping about 50 meters away.

Two Experts wearing protective suits walked in, holding Geiger counters.

Under Lin Yuan’s guidance, a small clump of blue powder was quickly found.

Everyone was focused on them, even their breathing seemed to halt.

As soon as the instrument was turned on, the counter immediately emitted a beeping alarm.

Everyone present couldn't help but change their expressions dramatically.

Although they couldn't see the data, just hearing the sound told them something was wrong.

Sure enough!

The Experts' eyelids twitched as he looked at the values on the Geiger counter!

358cpm!

1010cpm!

2841cpm!

11511cpm!

58052!

The numbers on the counter jumped wildly like a stopwatch.

The Experts were so scared that his face turned pale on the spot, and he unconsciously took a few steps back even while wearing a protective suit.

At the same time, he didn't forget to exclaim, “Quick! Immediately seal off the scene, no one is allowed within a 100-meter radius.”

“Everyone, do not step on the ground to prevent radioactive material from being carried elsewhere.”

“Also, put protective suits on these few people; exposed to such radiation, something will happen to them soon.”

As soon as these words came out.

The scene erupted in an uproar.

There was no need for an order; everyone rushed to hide in their cars.

Director Yang, seeing this, also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly borrowed a set of protective suits to put on himself, then took several more sets into the yard for Lin Yuan and the others to wear.

After putting on the protective suits, Director Yang approached the Experts and asked with a solemn expression, “What do you say? What should we do now?”

Hearing this, the Experts smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Director Yang, we’re in big trouble!”

He then handed over the counter in his hand, “Look at the values on it.”

“Hmm?” Director Yang turned his head to glance at it, muttering to himself, “Over 60,000? What does that mean? Is the radiation very high?”

“More than just very high?”

The Experts replied with a bitter smile, “Let’s put it this way, you should know that electric car batteries have radiation, right?”

Director Yang nodded, “Yes, I know!”

The Experts continued to explain, “Its PCM value is roughly between 9.3 and 10.5.”

“Long-term radiation will affect the human body.”

“But the value of this blue powder here is 60,000, a difference of 6,000 times! Imagine how big that gap is.”

“Let’s talk about the CT scans and X-rays in our hospital.”

“A single chest fluoroscopy receives approximately 1.1 mSv/hr of radiation.”

“A single chest X-ray is 0.2 mSv/hr.”

“A single head CT is 2!”

“A single chest CT is 8!”

“A single abdominal CT is 10!”

“Flying for 20 hours is 0.1!”

“Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, a year’s radiation is 0.5 - 2!”

“Although these two values are not directly related.”

“But this thing, as long as you have close contact with it, it’s like doing tens or even hundreds of thousands of CT scans in one day!”

“You should know that one X-ray is equivalent to the human body enduring more than half a year’s natural radiation exposure.”

“Let alone contact for a day, even half an hour of skin contact, no god can save you!”

“Even if you’ve never touched it, just being near it for half an hour, you won’t die but you’ll shed a layer of skin!”

Hiss~~

Stunned!

Director Yang’s head was buzzing.

In his impression, the radiation from electric car batteries was already considered very high.

But compared to the blue powder in front of him, it was like heaven and earth, completely incomparable.

No wonder the Experts was startled even while wearing a protective suit just now.

Thinking of this, Director Yang looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and asked incredulously, “Lin Yuan, you even recognize this?”

Lin Yuan replied with a bitter smile, “It’s a good thing I recognized it, otherwise I might have died today.”

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also terrified.

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1

— — 【Oh my goodness! What is this thing? It’s too terrifying! This thing feels like some kind of Resident Evil; you can’t even touch it, and it can even spread. I’m wondering, why would such a dangerous thing appear at a scrap collection station? It doesn’t make sense.】

— — 【It’s too scary! This yard is probably already a radioactive base now, even stronger than the radiation caused by a nuclear bomb explosion. That cat is definitely going to die; we must find it quickly, otherwise, how many people will suffer? Just thinking about it makes me shiver all over.】

— — 【The scariest thing is that many people don’t know. Who would have thought that a cat could carry deadly nuclear radiation? If some kind-hearted person who doesn’t know any better goes to feed the cat and gets a little bit of nuclear material on them, then it’s over; they’ll all be wiped out directly.】

— — 【What exactly is this thing? Is there anyone who knows? Blue powder, I’ve never heard of it. I only know that Uranium-235 has very high radiation, but compared to this thing, it’s simply a drop in the ocean.】

It has now been confirmed that the blue powder is a highly radioactive substance.

The next step is to figure out exactly what it is.

The Experts immediately took out his phone and called all the Experts from the Nuclear Energy Research Institute.

This nuclear material leak must be handled by them.

The Police Officer can’t do anything.

Director Yang also understood this principle and first had the Experts check their vehicles and bodies to ensure they hadn’t been contaminated with nuclear material.

He then ordered them all to go to the outer police perimeter and not allow anyone to enter or exit.

As for Lin Yuan and the others, they could only stay there obediently; the ambulance was on its way.

The radiation levels on all three of them were severely exceeded.

Lin Yuan and the Photographer were fine; they hadn’t directly touched the blue powder, at most there was a little on their shoe soles, and the exposure time was very short, so the impact wasn't very significant.

But the boss was miserable.

Although he collected the blue powder with tools, he was exposed to the radiation, and without any accidents, he would at least experience dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

In severe cases, his skin would ulcerate, and his bodily functions would decline.

If treated properly, no serious sequelae would be left behind.

However, his scrap yard would probably be completely scrapped.

Yet, compared to his daughter getting into trouble, he would rather go bankrupt.

After Director Yang arranged the Police Officer’s tasks, he immediately took out his phone and called Li Secretary.

This incident today, seemingly just a cat escaping.

But its seriousness could be said to be the most severe Lin Yuan had encountered recently!

Whether it was the bomb or the lake pollution, while those had a large affected area, they wouldn’t destroy the entire city.

But if this nuclear radiation incident is not handled well, in the most severe case, the entire West Sea City will become a ghost town.
