Chapter 570 Newly Appeared Elements
The call was connected quickly. Zhou Ying covered the receiver and muttered to Yang Huai for a long time before handing the receiver to Yang Dongsheng.

"Brother...are you drunk?" Yang Huai's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yang Dongsheng thought that Zhou Ying would hand him a busy microphone.

"Don't listen to their nonsense! You turn on the computer and search for me, how to stop the chain reaction of the nuclear reactor!"

"Ah?" Yang Huai was stunned for a moment before saying, "Brother, wait a moment!"

Immediately, there was the sound of typing on the keyboard on the other side of the phone. It seemed that Yang Huai hadn't slept at all and was surfing the Internet.

The news came back quickly.

Yang Dongsheng was misled by the TV series. What the Soviets fell in Chernobyl was not borax at all, but boron carbide.

Sodium borate easily absorbs water to form hydrates, while boron carbide has no problem of absorbing water at all.

In fact, boron is not very good at absorbing neutrons.

Boron is used to interrupt the chain reaction, mainly because it is cheap.

Hafnium, one of the best neutron-absorbing materials, is very rare and very expensive, basically sold by the gram.

In addition to hafnium, materials such as silver, indium, and cadmium are also good at absorbing neutrons.

Yang Dongsheng hung up the phone and began to collect materials.

Yang Dongsheng's men did not have much hafnium, but they still had a lot of silver and cadmium, especially silver, which he hoarded a lot.

Yang Dongsheng sprinkled a lot of silver and cadmium down. Although the reactor was still full of magma, it could be seen that the reaction of the magma was not as violent as before, and the expansion speed was not as fast as before.

Finally, it has not become another Chernobyl.

The entire Madu agricultural base can be divided into two parts. The south of the urban area is the agricultural area with relatively good light and heat conditions; the north of the urban area is the colder pastoral area.

Compared with Yishi, Hedong, Hexi and other cities in western Mongolia, Madu has a better location. Nearby provinces and cities such as Huajing, Jinmen, Hebei Province, and Liao Province are not self-sufficient in food.

The southern part of Madu was originally a desert of tens of thousands of square kilometers, but now all wheat has been planted, totaling more than 5000 million mu.

Except for some drought-resistant and cold-resistant varieties of winter wheat planted in the most southern part of the more than 5000 million mu of land, most of them are spring wheat.

From the end of July to the beginning of August is the season when spring wheat starts to be harvested. This is also one of the main reasons why the leaders chose this time to inspect. After all, the problem of food for the common people has always been the biggest problem in our country for thousands of years.

Madu has more than 20 square kilometers, which is about the size of two Suzhou provinces. The agricultural base alone covers tens of thousands of square kilometers. It is impossible for the leaders to read all of them.

This time the leaders visited mainly the two points closest to the urban area.

But these two points together are nearly [-] kilometers away from the city of Madu, and the roads in Madu are really bad.

Not to mention the asphalt highways of later generations, there is not even a gravel road now.

July and August are the rainy season in Madu. With the improvement of the environment in recent years, the rainfall in Madu has increased, and the entire grassland is very muddy during this season.

There is no time to do any face-saving projects now, as long as the leader's car is not stuck in the middle of the road, thank God.

Yang Dongsheng and Madu divided the work. Madu was in charge of the road from the urban area to the agricultural base; Yang Dongsheng was in charge of the road inside the agricultural base.

Yang Yue lay on the window glass, staring at the outside world curiously.

As soon as the car door opened, she rushed down like a cat that had been locked in the house for many days, still shouting excitedly, "Wow!"

Yang Miao looked at her younger sister who was having fun everywhere, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, is this just letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"My little ancestor, don't run around!" Zhou Ying finally grabbed Yang Yue's collar and was about to lift her up.

At this time, a worker walked over leading a few calves. Seeing this, Yang Yue hugged the calves with both hands and feet, and refused to let go.

Zhou Ying pulled the river with her several times, but she couldn't pull it away at all.

"Get some ponies over here!"

Yang Dongsheng asked someone to find three fluffy, chubby foals for Yang Miao, Yang Lin, and Yang Yue, and put them on saddles.

The two boys, Yang Miao and Yang Lin, were still a little apprehensive, but Yang Yue had already happily climbed onto the horse's back, imitating the appearance on the TV and waving forward, "Drive!"

The pony started to run slowly, and ran faster and faster. Yang Yue screamed excitedly, and Zhou Ying stomped angrily from behind, "You don't look like a girl!"

"Did you bring pants for your daughter?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

Unlike the agricultural bases in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, where half-grown calves are imported and then exported after fattening, the cattle here are all bred by themselves.

The local cattle are used to breed with foreign cattle.

Yang Dongsheng knows a lot of dog lovers who always promote that dogs are very human, smart, and loyal to their owners.

Yang Dongsheng thought it was because they had never seen a cow!
When Yang Dongsheng was young, there were people in the village who used cattle to plow the land.

Cattle, especially old scalpers who have been fed for many years, are very human. Yang Dongsheng has seen old scalpers who can set up their own carts and know where to go without having to drive.

When he was a child, Yang Dongsheng also heard that a buffalo raised by someone drove snakes for the family and saved a drowning child.

And when the butcher approached the cow with a knife, the cow would know that he was going to be killed, and they would cry, with big tears streaming down, and no one could bear to watch it.

Under the same circumstances, Yang Dongsheng has basically never seen a dog that was killed foresee this danger.

But it is useless to say these things. Most people in the city have never seen a live cow in their entire lives, and more and more people keep dogs as pets.

In terms of public opinion, the West dominates the discourse power, and we will not be able to win the discourse power for a long time in the foreseeable future.Those people will eat beef with peace of mind, while accusing eating dog meat as barbaric.

The so-called freedom of speech means that I have the freedom to scold you. If you dare to talk back, or even dare not to listen, you are not free.

Everyone stayed at this point that night, and like other places, a small town has been formed here.

Dinner is fresh beef and mutton, simple cooking, and freshly picked mushrooms, not to mention how fresh it is.

In the dead of night, Yang Dongsheng called up the [-]D map again.

The nuclear reactor has basically cooled down. In addition to the change in shape, the substances in the entire nuclear reactor have also changed drastically. Before the nuclear reaction, the substances in the reactor were only uranium 238, uranium 235, a very small amount of uranium 234 and their oxides.

After the nuclear reaction, elements such as neptunium, americium, and curium appeared in the reactor, and elements such as strontium 90, cesium 137, and technetium 99 also appeared.

The half-life of these elements is many years shorter than that of uranium 235, and the radiation is strong. These substances are found in the Fukushima nuclear wastewater.

Also present was a familiar-sounding element—plutonium-239.
