Chapter 463: The Dilemma of Reconstruction (Seeking Monthly Pass)

In the command room of the rescue team at the resettlement site, Chen Xin is studying how to rebuild the city on the map.

At present, most of the surviving victims have been placed in two resettlement sites. According to statistics from the local city government, the two resettlement sites now have no more than 200,000 disaster victims.

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

After the efforts of the rescue team and the airborne troops that later supported, about 210,000 bodies were collected from the ruins, and a considerable part of them were incomplete and unrecognizable.

There are still more than 80,000 remains buried deep in the ruins of the collapsed city and cannot be restrained.

In addition, more than 95% of the city's shelters were scrapped, most of them completely collapsed, a small part collapsed, and the only few remaining shelters also had problems such as cracking and local damage, which seemed to be unable to continue to be used.

All food and material production in the entire city has been interrupted. At present, 200,000 victims are all relying on the materials brought by the rescue team to survive, both in consumption and in the gap.

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

The city has provided water supply at this moment, and all power supply has been interrupted. The drinking water at the resettlement site is still a temporary water purifier made by Chen Xin, which is supported by melting the snow.

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

The earthquake affected the entire southwestern region of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. The wide area and the large number of people affected were unprecedented in the history of the Yan Kingdom.

Although the disasters vary from place to place, and Chen Xin's city is one of the most severe areas, the situation is similar.

There is a shortage of food and clothing, and no water and food. Although the country has actively organized rescues, these are still the primary issues that disaster areas need to face.

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

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

But if you want to rebuild a city, it will be a huge project even before the disaster. In today's extremely cold environment, construction is extremely difficult.

What's more, in Chen Xin's view, it is time-consuming and laborious to rebuild the city on the original site of the city, and there is still a dangerous choice.

In areas where huge destructive earthquakes have occurred, there will usually be subsequent earthquakes after a certain period of time. The main reason is that previous earthquakes have destroyed the crustal structure of the region and become the energy release point for plate movement.

The movement of plates is constantly stopped, and subsequent energy gathers to a certain extent and must be released. The release process is generally the form of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Although this major earthquake in the southwest region is an energy release, the impact of meteorite impact and supervolcanic eruptions on plates and geological structures will last for a considerable period of time, and it is impossible for a destructive major earthquake to be the only one.

Therefore, according to Chen Xin's judgment, a more stable approach is to migrate residents in geologically active areas to areas with more stable geological structures to avoid disasters caused by earthquakes again.

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

When the disaster came, the Yan Kingdom did move the population of several provinces in the southeast coast to inland areas. However, this was achieved by the fact that the forces in transportation, communication, production, construction and other aspects were not affected. It was also under unprecedented concentration due to the disaster, and it was threatened with life and death.

There are indeed safety hazards in the southwest region now, but it is not yet at the point where all populations need to be moved away.

Moreover, the country can no longer migrate and resettle so many people in 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, and it is easy to touch the upper lip and the lower lip, but how easy is it to really build a new shelter in such an extremely harsh environment?

In the past, the harsh environment was only comparable to the north and south poles, and it was particularly favorable.

Not to mention anything else, at least half of the year can see the sunshine, and the temperature will be warmer.

However, 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 and there is no large-scale groundbreaking construction, 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 problems that restrict construction.

Even if Chen Xin can replace the construction machinery with Titan, greatly improving construction efficiency, it is still not easy to rebuild a city.

"Straighten all the building wrecks in the urban area and level out a piece of land for rebuilding the city..." Chen Xin looked at the map and was having a headache about how to rebuild the city and shelter.

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

If you rebuild a city, it is actually not difficult to simply build surface buildings. Based on the square cabin and tent, you can carry out permanent transformation. The two resettlement sites can be transformed into relatively resident residential sites.

The main problem that has troubled the reconstruction of disaster areas now is the shortage of materials. If there is not enough construction materials, even if it can be constructed, it will not be able to build a house.

If you want supplies, you can only wait until the country reopens the land transportation line. Otherwise, if you rely solely on airdrops or ark transportation, just maintaining the lives of the victims in the disaster area will have exhausted all your transportation capacity.

Moreover, in addition to the lack of supplies, what made Chen Xin hesitant was the remains of the victims who had not been cleared out in the ruins.

This is not a little bit of it, but the remains of more than 100,000 victims.

When the earthquake arrived, these 100,000 people were buried in a collapsed shelter and did not escape at all. After escaping, they were killed when the surface buildings collapsed, resulting in their bodies being buried under a large number of building ruins and almost impossible to be dug out.

If you want to flatten the ruins, it is inevitable that the bodies that have not been cleaned out in the ruins will be destroyed.

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

Whether it is morality or ethics, Chen Xin hesitated.

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