Chapter 463: The dilemma of reconstruction

In the rescue team command room at the resettlement point, Chen Xin is studying the map on 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 city 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.
After the efforts of the rescue team and the airborne troops that were later supported, about 210,000 bodies were collected from the rubble, and a considerable number of them were incomplete and unrecognizable.
In total, there are more than 80,000 remains buried deep in the ruins of the collapse of the city, unable to converge.
In addition, more than 95% of the refuges in this city were scrapped, most of them completely collapsed, and a small part of them collapsed. The few remaining refuges also suffered cracking, partial damage, etc., as if they could no longer be used.
All food and material production in the entire city has been interrupted. At present, the 200,000 disaster victims rely on the materials brought by the rescue team to survive. Both the consumption and the shortfall are large.
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 guarantee the survival of the remaining 200,000 victims.
The city's water supply and power supply have all been interrupted at the moment, and the drinking water at the resettlement site is still supported by the water purifier made by Chen Xin temporarily.
However, this is only the disaster situation of this city.
The earthquake affected the entire southwestern region of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces. The area affected by the earthquake and the number of people affected were unprecedented in the history of the Yan Kingdom.
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, water and food, although the state actively organized rescue, but these are still the primary problems that the disaster areas need to face.
In addition, the resettlement of the victims is also something that must be considered in the disaster area now. It is impossible for the victims to stay in the temporary resettlement tents.
Rebuilding the city and building new shelters so that the victims can be resettled nearby are of course the most ideal plan.
But if you want to rebuild a city, even before the disaster, it is a huge project. 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, laborious, and dangerous choice.
Areas where huge destructive earthquakes have occurred, generally after a certain number of years, there will be subsequent earthquakes, mainly because the previous earthquakes destroyed the crustal structure of the area and become the energy release point for plate movement.
The movement of the plates is non-stop, and the subsequent energy accumulation must be released to a certain extent, and the release process is generally in the form of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Although this major 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 last for a long time, and it is impossible to have only this destructive earthquake.
Therefore, according to Chen Xin's judgment, a safer approach is to move residents from geologically active areas to areas with more stable geological structures to avoid disasters caused by earthquakes.
But this scheme is too ideal, and it also requires more manpower and material resources.
When the disaster arrived, the Yan country did move the population of several provinces along the southeast coast to the inland areas. However, this was built on the fact that all forces such as transportation, communication, production, and construction were not affected, and it was also unprecedentedly concentrated because of the disaster. Under the circumstances, there is a threat of life and death.
There are indeed hidden security risks in the Southwest, but it has not yet reached the point where all the population needs to be relocated.
Moreover, the country is now unable to migrate and resettle such a large population of the three southwestern provinces.
So the only conceivable and feasible way now is to build a new shelter nearby.
However, it is easy to say, the upper lip touches the lower lip easily, but really want to build a new refuge in this extremely harsh environment, how easy is it?
In the past, the harsh environment was only comparable to the north and south poles, and it was even better.
Not to mention, at least the north and south poles can see the sun for half of the year, and the temperature will be warmer.
It's just that even before the disaster, countries around the world did not build any large-scale buildings in the north and south poles, 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 wind, frozen soil, and extreme cold are all difficult problems restricting construction.
Even if Chen Xin can replace construction machinery with Titan, greatly improving construction efficiency, it is still not easy to rebuild a city.
"Pull out all the building debris in the city and level out a piece of land for the reconstruction of 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 flatten the ruins and level the ground, just like the work done by the Titans before, it only takes a little time to get it done.
For the reconstruction of the city, it is not difficult to simply build surface buildings. With square cabins and tents as the basis, for permanent renovation, the two existing settlements can be transformed into relatively inhabitable settlements.
The main problem that plagues the reconstruction of the disaster area is the shortage of materials. Without enough building materials, even if it can be constructed, it is impossible to build a house.
If you want supplies, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can only wait for the country to reopen the land transportation line. Otherwise, if you only rely on plane airdrop or Ark transportation, it will be exhausted just to maintain the lives of the victims in the disaster area. Full capacity.
In addition to the lack of supplies, what made Chen Xin hesitant was the remains of the victims that were not cleared out of the rubble.
This is not a small number, but the remains of more than 100,000 victims.
These 100,000 people were either buried in a collapsed shelter when the earthquake arrived, and did not escape at all, or they were killed when they encountered the collapse of a surface building after escaping, causing their remains to be buried in a large number of buildings Under the ruins, it is almost impossible to be dug out.
If the ruins are to be flattened, it is inevitable that the remains that have not been cleared out of the ruins will be destroyed.
And after doing so, wait for the new city to be built on the remains of these victims.
Whether it is morality or ethics, Chen Xin hesitates.
Living people are of course more important, but it is the 200,000 living relatives and friends who are dead. Can they really accept the reconstruction of the city on the remains of their relatives and friends?
