Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 464: The Dilemma of Reconstruction (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

In the command room of the rescue team at the resettlement site, Chen Xin was looking at the map to study how to rebuild the city.

At present, most of the surviving victims have been resettled to two resettlement sites. According to the statistics of the local municipal government, the two resettlement sites now have a concentration of no more than 200,000 victims.

In this disaster, more than 300,000 people were unfortunately killed.

Through the efforts of the rescue team and the airborne troops that were supported later, about 210,000 corpses were collected from the rubble, and a considerable part was incomplete and unrecognizable.

In total, there are more than 80,000 corpses buried deep in the ruins of the collapsed city, unable to converge.

In addition, more than 95% of the shelters in the city were all scrapped, most of them completely collapsed, and a small part of them collapsed. The few remaining shelters also had problems such as cracking and local damage, and it seemed that they could no longer be used.

All food and material production in the entire city has been interrupted. Currently, the 200,000 victims of the disaster rely on the supplies brought by the rescue team to survive. Whether it is consumption or shortfalls, there is a huge gap.

If the supply of materials cannot be restored in the short term, and only relying on the ark for transportation, it will be difficult to ensure the survival of the remaining 200,000 victims.

The city's water supply and power supply have been interrupted at this moment, and the drinking water at the resettlement site is still relying on a water purifier made by Chen Xin, which is supported by melting snow.

However, this is only the disaster situation in this city.

The earthquake affected the entire southwestern region of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.

Although the disaster situation varies from place to place, and the city where Chen Xin is located is one of the worst-hit areas, the situation is similar.

Lack of food and clothing, lack of water and food, although the state has actively organized rescues, these are still the primary problems that the disaster-stricken areas need to face.

In addition, the resettlement of the victims is also something that must be considered in the disaster area. It is impossible for the victims to live in temporary tents like this.

Rebuilding the city and building new shelters so that the victims can be resettled nearby is of course the ideal solution.

But rebuilding a city was a huge project even before the disaster, and in today's apocalyptic environment, construction is extremely difficult.

What's more, in Chen Xin's view, rebuilding the city on its original site is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and risky choice.

In areas where huge destructive earthquakes have occurred, there will generally be subsequent earthquakes after a certain number of years, mainly because the previous earthquakes destroyed the crustal structure of the area and became the energy release point of plate movement.

The movement of the plate is non-stop, and the subsequent energy accumulation must be released to a certain extent, and the process of release is generally in the form of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Although this large earthquake in the southwest region is a release of energy, the impact of meteorite impacts and super volcanic eruptions on plates and geological structures will continue for a long time, and it is impossible for this destructive earthquake to be the only one.

Therefore, according to Chen Xin's judgment, it is more prudent to move the residents of the geologically active areas to areas with more stable geological structure to avoid the disasters caused by the recurrence of earthquakes.

But this solution is too ideal and requires more manpower and material resources.

When the disaster came, the Yan Kingdom did manage to migrate the population of several provinces along the southeast coast to the inland areas. However, this was based on the fact that all aspects of transportation, communication, production, construction, etc. were not affected, and because of the disaster, it was unprecedentedly concentrated. Under the circumstances, there is a threat of life and death to do it.

There are real security risks in the Southwest now, but not to the point where the entire population needs to be relocated.

Moreover, the country is now unable to relocate and resettle so many people in the three southwestern provinces.

So now the only conceivable and feasible way is to build a new shelter nearby.

However, it's easier said than done, it's very easy to touch your upper lip to your lower lip, but if you really want to build a new shelter in this extremely harsh environment, how easy is it to say?

In the past, the harsh environment of the present was only comparable to the North and South Poles, and even more so.

Not to mention, at least the North and South Pole can see sunlight for half of the year, and the temperature will be warmer.

It's just that even before the disaster, countries around the world had not built any large-scale buildings in the North and South Pole, only a few scientific research stations.

Although this is to protect the ecological environment of the north and south poles, there is no large-scale ground breaking construction, but this is also because humans do not have the necessary conditions for large-scale construction in Antarctica.

Strong winds, frozen soil, and extreme cold are all problems that restrict construction.

Even if Chen Xin could replace the construction machinery with Titans and greatly improve the construction efficiency, it would still be very difficult to rebuild a city.

"Pull out all the building wreckage in the urban area, and flatten out a piece of land for rebuilding the city..." Chen Xin looked at the map and was feeling a headache about how to rebuild the city and the shelter.

Technically speaking, it is not difficult to level the ruins and level the ground. Just like the work done by Titan before, it only takes a little time to get it done.

If the city is to be rebuilt, it is not difficult to simply build surface buildings. Based on square cabins and tents, permanent transformation can be carried out, and the current two resettlement sites can be transformed into relatively habitable living places.

The main problem plaguing the reconstruction of the disaster area is the shortage of materials. If there are not enough building materials, even if the construction can be carried out, it will not be possible to build a house.

If you want materials, you can only wait for the country to reopen the land line of communication. Otherwise, if you only rely on airdrops or ark transportation, just to maintain the lives of the disaster victims in the disaster area will have exhausted all the transportation capacity.

In addition to the lack of materials, what made Chen Xin hesitant was the remains of the victims that had not been cleaned up in the ruins.

This is not a small number, but the remains of more than 100,000 victims.

When the earthquake hit, these 100,000 people were either buried in collapsed shelters and did not escape at all, or they were killed when surface buildings collapsed after escaping, causing their remains to be buried in a large number of buildings. Under the ruins, it is almost impossible to dig out.

If the ruins are to be leveled, it is inevitable that the remains that have not been cleaned up in the ruins will be destroyed.

And after doing this, if a new city is built on the remains of these victims.

Whether it is morality or ethics, Chen Xin hesitates.

Of course, the living are more important, but the dead are the 200,000 living relatives and friends. Can they really accept rebuilding the city on the remains of their relatives and friends?
