Chapter 477: Chapter 475 Preparation for Sealing the Heap (Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

It’s said that they were going to conduct an artillery test, but in reality, firing a shot is not an easy task.

These three land cruisers, though perfectly preserved when sealed, after more than thirty years since the disintegration of Suyia, whether these behemoths can still operate remains an unknown.

Thirty years is enough time for a baby to grow into an adult, get married and have children, for a piece of metal to rust beyond recognition, and for two metal ingots placed together to bond completely.

After going through thirty years, these three land cruisers face problems like part aging, rust, nuclear reactor radiation pollution and leakage. A thorough inspection and overhaul are needed to determine if these things can still be used.

Fortunately, these cruisers were sealed in a secret military base with comprehensive preservation facilities. Although it’s technology from over thirty years ago, at least those years have not caused significant damage to the land cruisers. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

However, except for the prototype using the Energy Crystal as a power source, the nuclear reactors of the other two land cruisers inevitably suffered damage during over thirty years of idleness, with radiation leaks and pollution turning them into massive sources of radiation pollution.

Though their metal shells partially prevent radiation leaks, this also makes the internal radiation level of the two land cruisers off the charts. Even with Protective Suits, entering is enough to instantly get contaminated by a large amount of radiation, posing a life-threatening risk.

Upon measuring the radiation levels of the two nuclear-powered land cruisers, neither Chen Xin nor the officers were interested in bringing these two back.

What they wanted were usable devices, not two large nuclear radiation pollution sources.

However, these things couldn’t just be left alone. Though they posed no real danger of a catastrophe like in Che City, it’s still better to deal with them.

Though humans can’t enter, robots and instruments can still get inside the land cruisers for inspections.

"Seems like Suyia’s nuclear technology back then was indeed quite solid. Not only did the nuclear beacon operate beyond its service life for so many years, but these two nuclear reactors have only minor leaks after thirty years. Their quality is truly remarkable." Chen Xin couldn’t help but praise the technology and quality of the Suyia era upon seeing the footage shot by the robot.

In fact, not only was the nuclear reactor technology solid, but the overall quality of Suyia-era goods was excellent. Even the military base that was sealed for over thirty years restored power after Chen Xin and the team found a power source and rebooted the generator. The thirty-year-old lighting facilities still functioned normally.

"That said, this reactor can’t be used anymore, right? Do we really have to deal with this thing?" The officer frowned as he looked at the radiation sign captured in the footage.

It’s not that he didn’t want to deal with these two nuclear reactors. Such things constantly leaking nuclear radiation are extremely dangerous. Even though there’s no concern now about someone accidentally digging them up or doing something dangerous, they remained a threat as long as they were here.

But now, the nuclear radiation inside the two land cruisers was already deadly, and they couldn’t let soldiers and workers risk their lives to deal with them.

After all, this wasn’t on their own territory, there was no need for sacrifices.

"It’s necessary to deal with it a bit, this is Siberia, if radiation leaks and spreads into the atmosphere, flowing southwards, it could reach Flame Country." Although Chen Xin didn’t want to solve the historical issues left from the Suyia era for Lucia, he still hoped to handle it properly as it might affect Flame Country.

However, Chen Xin wasn’t someone who would risk lives for such things. He thought for a moment and then said, "My nano armor can withstand nuclear radiation, I’ll go in to deal with it, dismantle the reactors and then seal them."

"Let me check first to see if the reactors can be removed. Do you have the blueprints for these things? Are there instructions for replacing the reactors? Otherwise, we’ll have to dismantle them forcibly."

Saying this, Chen Xin activated the watch on his wrist, and a layer of nano molecules covered his body, transforming into a thick Power Armor.

"Academician Chen!" The officer quickly grabbed Chen Xin’s wrist, stopping him: "That’s not possible! Your importance is above all else! Even if we all have to go in, we can’t let you take the risk!"

The officer shouted to the soldiers nearby, who came to carry Chen Xin away.

Although the power of the Nano Armor could easily allow escape, Chen Xin didn’t do so. He simply persuaded the officer: "There’s no danger, the Nano Armor can completely block nuclear radiation. It’s safer for me to go in than for any of you."

"No way! Even if a soldier wore your Nano Armor to go in, you still can’t go in!" The officer insisted, firmly opposed to any risky actions from Chen Xin.

Seeing the officer’s firm stance, Chen Xin had to give up on personally going inside. He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, don’t let anyone go in and risk it. I’ll switch the Nano Armor to remote control mode, let the armor go in, and I’ll stay outside to operate it."

Actually, the Nano Armor didn’t have such a function, Chen Xin was going to upgrade it temporarily to enable remote control mode.

With these words, a green light flashed over the entire armor, and the nano molecules flowed down from Chen Xin like mercury. In front of him, they shaped into a silver humanoid and then appeared as armor.

The remaining nano molecules on Chen Xin’s body gathered on his head, forming a pair of Brainwave Control Glasses.

Seeing this scene, the officer finally signaled the two soldiers holding Chen Xin to release him.

While controlling the Nano Armor to move into a land cruiser, Chen Xin asked the officer beside him: "Did you bring Neutron Absorbers?"

"We didn’t, but the Suyia people prepared them back then. We found a batch of usable boron and lead-containing cement in the warehouse." The officer reported to Chen Xin. According to the records found, this batch of materials was brought after the Che City incident.

"Looks like the Suyia people intended to seal the reactors back then?" Chen Xin was surprised but didn’t dwell on it much. He simply instructed the officer: "Get the materials ready for sealing the reactors, and arrange for radiation protection. If the reactors can’t be directly removed, we might need to dismantle the entire setup."
