The explosion of the experimental installation shocked the entire Ministry of Defense! Punishments rained down as soon as specialists from the presidential administration began the investigation. The project manager was sent to life imprisonment, his deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Yaroslav Tikhomirov, was demoted and expelled from the army. After all, it was the minister’s son-in-law, so it worked out. Curators were removed from their positions, regardless of their affiliation with departments. The developer, his assistants and several other people died stupidly in the explosion. The GRU immediately began collecting additional information abroad. Informants were paid without any thought to the costs. The FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs received secret orders to create groups of wolf-opers. The President demanded heads, blood and clarity. The destruction of the only installation that transported testers into the past for several years was recognized as a national tragedy.
