1433: C1433 Nuclear Submarine Graveyard

C1433 Nuclear Submarine Graveyard

In the past, Qin Guan had never been to the nuclear submarine cemetery.

In order to achieve his strategic goal, Bear Country and Y Country began to build nuclear submarines in large numbers. During the peak period, they had almost 500 nuclear submarines in their military.

However, the military service period of the nuclear submarines was only 20 to 30 years. Many of these large scale nuclear submarines faced the problem of retirement.

After retirement, what should they do with the nuclear submarines?

During the crazy Cold War peak period, their main focus was on developing and building new nuclear submarines. They had no time to care about the treatment of the retired nuclear submarines. The people of Bear Country loved to solve problems in a simple and crude way. Retired nuclear submarines were directly buried under the sea, and the nuclear submarines were placed at the bottom of the sea.

This method was quite irresponsible. As time went on, those nuclear submarines would gradually be damaged. The most terrifying thing about them being destroyed was that the broken nuclear reactor container or nuclear fuel would release radioactive nuclear matter into the ocean and soil. It would cause irreparable pollution.

Later, everyone realized this problem and began to use burial.

They took out the highly radioactive nuclear fuel inside the nuclear submarine for final disposal or temporary storage. Then they removed, cut, and sealed the nuclear reactor and pipeline systems after filtering, removing, cutting, and sealing them. They loaded the barge and transported it to the storage site before burying it in the middle and low radioactive waste.

This was also the current unified method of handling nuclear waste on Earth, buried deep underground. However, this method would take quite a long time... And it would require a lot of money, and every country spared no effort in building a nuclear submarine. However, when it came to dealing with this, it wasn't so willingly.

Among the military expenses, the funds allocated to them were quite small. This way, a large number of retired nuclear submarines would have to wait for many years before it was time to dismantle and bury them. Those who didn't have time to wait, had no choice but to stop and wait. The retired nuclear submarines surrounded the abandoned military port to store their resources. This was the graveyard of the nuclear submarines.

Some would stay with other warships and form a huge Warship Graveyard. There were also ports that only stored nuclear submarines. This was the special graveyard for nuclear submarines.

After Qin Guan had his meal, the Elementary Scholar returned. Everything had been arranged. He would be at ease if he were to handle such a small matter. Under the guidance of the Elementary Scholar, Qin Guan boarded a small boat. A few hundred meters away from the port was enough to ensure his safety.

The Elementary Scholar took off his hat, covered his head, and laid down on the small boat. He said, "I'm going to sleep first. Call me when you're done."

Every time, it was always mysterious. This time, I'll take the initiative to sleep first to avoid making things difficult for you.

Qin Guan secretly laughed in his heart. This fellow clearly knew everything, yet he still had to take into account his own feelings. Next, let him experience an even grander scene.

Enter the system!

All the raw materials were already prepared, and even the nuclear reactor was in his control. What were they waiting for?

Nuclear submarine graveyard!

In the future, this place was famous. It was a port in the northern part of Bear Country, Port Lako.

This place was desolate, and not a single blade of grass grew around it. If one carried a Geiger counter, one could see that the counter would wildly beat.

Qin Guan didn't need to be afraid. This kind of nuclear radiation was to Qin Guan. It was still a way to open up the new Weapon Graveyard, but it was all caused by the radiation in the real world. In this system, the radiation was useless to him.

Qin Guan knew that although it was a small place, it was the biggest nuclear submarine graveyard in the world.

This was the first time Qin Guan knew of this place. It was a report from the future generations. In 1992, a retired C-grade nuclear submarine that was connected to the dock suddenly caught fire for some unknown reason. If the fire was immediately extinguished when it caught fire, it could still be saved.

However, the salary of the staff here had not been paid for more than a year. Most of them were not on duty, and those on duty would not manage them. By the time they saw the thick smoke, it was already too late.

The only few people present only heard a huge explosion, followed by a fireball soaring into the sky. This movement was almost comparable to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's accident.

The nuclear reactor of the nuclear submarine actually exploded! Radioactive dust gradually spread out. The nuclear waste from the reactor had flown to the dock, the shore, and the seawater, causing a large amount of pollution.

The consequences were terrifying. It produced at least eight million kilometers of nuclear radiation, and the radioactive matter would take at least a hundred years before it could weaken to a degree that was slightly harmful to the surrounding environment.

If the explosion had ignited the nuclear submarine beside them, perhaps the people of Bear Country would have let out a long sigh of relief and no longer needed to raise funds to dismantle them. All of a sudden, it was all over.

Of course, to the nearby countries, it was definitely a disaster, especially to the nearby countries. They lived in fear and trepidation.

Qin Guan walked along the green ground and saw the shabby warehouse beside him. Inside these warehouses were the nuclear materials that had been removed from the nuclear submarines. It could be said that if there was a terrorist who had thoughts... They could easily get the raw materials for the dirty bomb from here.

If they continued forward, Qin Guan could see the dock. It was in tatters. Dozens of nuclear submarines were under the sun and the wind. They were all waiting for the fate of being dismantled. No one knew when it would be their turn.1

Qin Guan could see the typhoon level at a glance. After all, that thing was the largest. Its huge body was like a huge hippocampus. Its upper body was exposed to the outside and was covered with rust. On top of it, there were pieces of broken outer skin that looked like ancient city walls falling down. That was the silencer outside the nuclear submarine, after a long period of time... The result was that it kept falling.

Qin Guan did not have time to sigh with emotion about this submarine. He could exchange it for research when he returned.

After the exchange tonight, even if he were to use a tow boat, he would drag it into the submarine's cave. Then, he would let the submarine soldiers familiarize and control it as soon as possible. Then, he would be able to go out to sea.

This was Qin Guan's arrangement. Now, he could not wait to see the swimming pool on top of it.

Exchange, begin!

Wait a minute! Why was the switch gray? Qin Guan looked at the interface floating in front of him and was puzzled.

When he looked again, his heart sank. It can't be, right? That much?

Qin Guan already had ten million Spirit Focus. In his eyes, other than the aircraft carrier which couldn't be traded, he felt that he could get the rest. Typhoon class, of course, was also in his bag.

But now, this tattered ship actually needed more than twenty million Spirit Focus? He still did not have enough!

Not good, this time he was really bragging.
