Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chen Xin is also very concerned about the country's ongoing geological survey.

After all, there are still ways to overcome the cold environment, but if there is something wrong with the ground under your feet, you will really lose your home and shelter.

So far, however, the results of the survey have been somewhat worrisome.

The impact of the Toba eruption is global, and the entire Blue Star will be affected by it.

It's not just ash blanketing the globe and earthquakes hitting the Southwest.

This is a super volcano, and its eruption can even cause a species extinction, causing the entire Blue Star to enter disaster and catastrophe.

Although it is not a catastrophe of mass extinction and global large-scale geological changes as terrible as geological time dating, the consequences of super volcanic eruptions should not be underestimated.

After all, such a terrifying eruption will have a great impact on the plate movement and crustal activity of the entire Blue Star.

Especially before that, there was still a meteorite falling enough to pierce the earth's crust, and the impact it had on Blue Star was only now being revealed.

In fact, the country's geological survey of major cities in the country has also confirmed this to a large extent.

Geological activities all over the country tend to become more active. Although small-scale earthquakes will not have any impact, no one can guarantee that with active geological activities, large-scale earthquakes will not occur.

Fortunately, none of the major cities in the country are located in areas with particularly active geology. After all, it is difficult to form large cities in such areas. In ancient times, people would spontaneously avoid such dangerous areas.

So far, the main geological problems discovered are the subsequent secondary disasters caused by the earthquake, such as cracks, subsidence, groundwater level drop, etc. Although they are not fatal, they are still troublesome to deal with.

At present, this geological survey plan is still in progress. According to the state's meaning, it is necessary to conduct a survey of the main areas of the country, but currently only the screening of major cities has been completed.

Although many problems have been discovered, fortunately, so far, no sign of a disaster of the same level as the previous earthquake in the southwest region has been found.

Moreover, affected by environmental factors, some geological disasters such as landslides that may have occurred in the past have been eliminated, and only avalanches occurred in some areas.

Although avalanches are also terrible disasters, they are nothing compared to landslides or other geological disasters.

It's just that although these geological disasters are not fatal, they have made the current environment much worse.

Among other things, because of the earthquake, the groundwater in many areas was affected, the water level dropped, water could not be brought up, or the water quality was turbid due to the earthquake, which would have a great impact on the lives of the people.

Although small-scale earthquakes in some areas will not pose any threat to cities and shelters, the mines cannot withstand such frequent small earthquakes.

You must know that the mine itself is destroying the geological structure. Although the development of modern mining technology has made the mine safer, it does not mean that it is really foolproof.

Otherwise, there would not be news of mining accidents every year before the disaster.

As for the impact of geological disasters on project construction, not to mention, according to the information Chen Yu received, a large number of construction projects were affected by geological disasters and the construction period was affected, and some even had to re-select sites.

As for this city, due to the large-scale geological subsidence and the drop in the groundwater level in the urban area, Chen Xin, who originally planned to choose the first dome city here, had to change his mind and consider Choose areas with more stable geology.

We must know that the area at the junction of Hunan Province and Hubei Province is not only mountainous, but also an area with relatively active geological activities or relatively thin strata. Otherwise, there would not be so many hot springs underground here.

Affected by the previous events, the local geological activities have become active, which is not conducive to the location of the new city.

In Hunan Province, there are actually many mountains in the province, and there are not many relatively flat areas. It is not easy to choose a more suitable place to build a dome city.

After all, the diameter of the dome city is only five kilometers, and the entire city is less than a city in a big city. It is simply a miniature, but it is still a city, and it will accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In fact, according to the current design, the dome city is expected to accommodate a population of 50,000 to 70,000 people. If it is squeezed, the design will be more compact, and it will not be difficult to accommodate 100,000 people.

With such a large population, the country obviously attaches great importance to site selection. If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility.

So these days, Chen Xin is paying attention to the design drawings on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also discussing the issue of site selection with geological experts.

The site selection of this city as a dome city has been abolished due to geological subsidence. The result of the current discussion with experts is that the city tends to be closer to the provincial capital Star City, and more domes will be built in the future to serve as the city. The new urban area simply relocated the city to its current location.

After all, the original location of this city is the Dongting Lake, which itself is an area with a very rich groundwater network. In ancient times, it was a part of Yunmeng Lake. If the groundwater network system is affected by earthquakes, it will cause a large-scale drop in groundwater level And geological subsidence, the city will also be threatened.

Moving the city south to a more geologically stable area and building new towns is a very valuable proposition.

It’s just that the investment and impact of doing so are too great. Even if it’s just a dome city, it’s a big project to relocate part of the population first, let alone the entire city that will be relocated later.

For the country, even before the disaster, such a thing is not easy to accomplish, so this plan is still only a proposal.

However, Chen Xin himself was very interested in the idea of ​​connecting multiple dome cities together to form a whole proposed in this proposal.

The dome city is only similar to the area of ​​a city in the past, or even smaller. Under such circumstances, a single dome city obviously cannot accommodate the entire population of the next city, even if it is only a small city, especially because Large numbers of people have been lost to previous disasters.

So the idea of ​​building multiple dome cities and then linking them together to form a new urban area is very creative.
