Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 503: The impact of secondary disasters

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

After all, there are ways to overcome the cold of the environment, but if there is a problem with the ground beneath your feet, there will really be no home and shelter.

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

The effects of Toba's eruption are global, affecting the entire Blue Star.

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

This is a super volcano, and its eruption can even cause a species extinction, bringing the entire Blue Star into catastrophe and catastrophe.

Although it is not a terrifying mass extinction and a global disaster of large-scale geological changes like geological dating, the consequences of supervolcanic eruptions should not be underestimated.

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

Especially before this, there were meteorites enough to smash through the earth's crust, and the impact it brought to Blue Star is now manifested.

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 active. Although small-scale earthquakes will not have any impact, no one can guarantee that large-scale earthquakes will not occur with active geological activities.

Fortunately, the major cities in the country are not located in such geologically active areas. 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 follow-up secondary disasters caused by earthquakes, such as cracks, subsidence, and groundwater level drop. Although not fatal, they are still troublesome to deal with.

At present, this geological survey plan is still going on. According to the meaning of the country, a survey is to be carried out on the main areas of the country, but at present, only the screening of the main cities has been completed.

Although many problems have been found, fortunately, so far, no signs of disasters of the magnitude of the previous Southwest earthquake have been found.

In addition, due to environmental factors, some geological disasters such as landslides that may have occurred in the past have been eliminated a lot, and only avalanches occurred in some areas.

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

It's just that these geological disasters, although not fatal, have made the current environment a lot worse.

Let's not mention anything else, because of the earthquake, the groundwater in many areas has been affected, the water level has dropped, and water cannot be obtained, or the water quality has been turbid due to the earthquake, which will have a great impact on people's lives.

Although small-scale earthquakes in some areas will not pose any threat to cities and shelters, mines can't withstand such small earthquakes.

Be aware 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 truly foolproof.

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

As for the impact of geological disasters on engineering construction, not to mention, according to the news Chen Yu received, a lot of construction projects were affected by geological disasters and the construction period was affected, and some even had to be relocated.

In this city, due to the large-scale geological collapse and the decline of the groundwater level in the urban area, Chen Xin, who originally planned to choose the first dome city here, had to change. ideas, consider choosing areas with more stable geology.

Be aware that this area at the junction of Hunan Province and Hubei Province is not only mountainous, but also an area where geological activities were active or the stratum was relatively thin. Otherwise, there would not be so many hot springs underground. .

Affected by previous events, local geological activities have become active, but it is very unfavorable for the site selection of the new city.

There are actually many mountainous areas 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. The entire city is less than one urban area in a big city. It is simply a miniature, but it is also a city that will accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Actually, according to the current design, the dome city is expected to accommodate a population of 50,000 to 70,000 people. If it is crowded, the design is more compact, and it is not difficult to accommodate 100,000 people.

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

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

The site selection of this city as a dome city has been invalidated due to the geological collapse. The result of the current discussions with experts is that the city is inclined to move towards the provincial capital Star City, and more domes will be built in the future as a The new urban area of ​​the city simply relocates the city to the location where it is located.

After all, the original location of the city was on the shore of Dongting Lake, which itself is an area with a very rich groundwater network. In ancient times, it was part of Yunmengze. If the groundwater network system was affected by the earthquake, it would cause large-scale The city will also be threatened by the decline of the water table and the geological collapse~IndoMTL.com~ It is a very valuable proposal to move the urban area south to a more stable area and build a new city.

Just doing this is too big in terms of investment and impact. Even if it is just building a dome city, it is a huge project to relocate a part of the population first, not to mention that the entire city will be relocated later. .

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

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

A dome city is only similar to the area of ​​an urban area in a city in the past, or even smaller. In such a case, a single dome city obviously cannot accommodate the entire population of the next city, even if it is only a small city , and lost a large number of people because of previous disasters.

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