After several abandoned buildings were bombed down, the next job was simple.
Only need to clean up and level the ruins after the blasting of the building,
and then it can be used to set up new resettlement sites and resettle the
victims.
While building new settlements here, more survivors were also sent over, and
the airships that surveyed the lake area also completed their missions.
The result is not ideal.
"Although the lake area was frozen, the ice surface cracked in large areas
during the earthquake, and the ice surface was full of large and small cracks.
We tried to land and conduct surveys. As a result, the ice surface was further
cracked and partially collapsed, which was not suitable. Set up a settlement
point." The captain of the airship who completed the survey task reported the
situation to the team leader and Chen Xin.
In the command center of the resettlement site, only the leader Chen Xinhe was
present at this time, and the deputy mayor was in charge of the overall
construction of the new resettlement site and the resettlement of the
survivors.
Hearing the report from the captain of the airship, Chen Xin was not surprised
by this, but he still regretfully said: "It's a pity. If we can set up a
resettlement point on the lake, we can completely remove all the survivors in
the urban area. Send it over there, the area is completely large enough to
rebuild a city."
"Fortunately, we now have a new resettlement site to use, otherwise it will
still be a big trouble." The team leader heard this news, but was thankful.
Fortunately, Chen Xin proposed a way to blow up the surrounding buildings and
cleared a vacant lot. Otherwise, they would have to worry about how to arrange
a large number of survivors.
During this time, more than 90% of the shelters in the urban area have been
opened, and the survivors have also been rescued.
The survivors were all rescued. This should have been a happy thing, but
looking at the survivors who looked dull and hollow, as if their whole people
were drawn out of their spirits, they could only feel sadness and grief.
despair.
Before the meteorite hit, the city was a tourist city with a population of
more than 600,000. It was picturesque and has a pleasant climate in all
seasons. It was known as the most suitable city for finding poetry and distant
places.
However, after the meteorite impact, the surviving population of the entire
city was reduced to more than half a million, and nearly one-fifth of the
population disappeared in the disaster caused by the meteorite impact.
The people who survived were crowded into small shelters, struggling to
survive.
After the country received various scientific and technological support from
Chen Xin, life is gradually getting better. Although the post-disaster
reconstruction work is not progressing fast, it can be considered orderly.
For the survivors in the shelter, this can be regarded as a glimmer of hope in
the predicament.
But who would have thought that the earthquake would crush the last gleam of
hope that people have.
Although the resettlement site could no longer accommodate more survivors, the
rescue team fought for a week, and fewer than 200,000 survivors were rescued
from the rubble, and nearly two-thirds of the population disappeared in the
rubble.
Although the rescue team did their best to clean up the ruins and converge and
count the remains of the victims in the refuge as much as possible, when the
rescue team opened 90% of the refuges, only 190,000 remains were converged.
There are still a considerable number of victims whose bodies are still buried
under the rubble and cannot be cleaned out.
These remains will be unlikely to be cleaned out for a long time.
It takes a long time for the collapsed city to be cleaned up. Most of the
ruins are connected buildings that collapsed together. Many of the destroyed
shelters were not destroyed by the earthquake, but were crushed by the
collapsed buildings on the upper floors. There are hundreds of thousands of
tons of ruins. To clean up is undoubtedly a huge project.
And those corpses buried under the ruins, if lucky not to be crushed, will be
perfectly preserved at a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, and it
is very likely that they will not decay for decades or hundreds of years.
Until the future, when the dust disperses, the sun shines on the earth again,
and the ice and snow melt, these remains may be seen again or just decayed.
Except for the dead, the living are also uncomfortable.
The vast majority of people are still immersed in the panic when the disaster
strikes. Even though they have been rescued, many people still have not been
relieved.
And this is not bad. After more people were rescued to the resettlement site,
the first thing they thought of after their spirits calmed down was not other
things, but their relatives who were buried under the rubble and did not
survive.
The saddest thing in the world is the separation of life and death. What the
earthquake brought about is that almost everyone in this city has suffered the
pain of losing their relatives and friends, and the whole city has plunged
into pain and despair.
Chen Xin understands this situation. The leader of the rescue team and the
deputy mayor also understand it. However, at this moment, even the
resettlement of the survivors has not been completed, so how can they spare no
effort to rekindle hope for life? ?
Even Chen Xin couldn't think of a good way to face this situation.
For Chen Xin, this is the second time he has experienced such a situation in
which an entire city has fallen into disaster.
Relying on his performance and the strong support of the country last time in
the city, he finally turned the situation around, but this time, he was
somewhat unable to start.
The disaster situation of the two cities is different. The immediate city is
just buried by a snowstorm. The medical system cannot withstand the surge of
patients and collapses, making the entire city unable to operate, but the
infrastructure is not damaged.
Disaster relief is nothing more than resolving the main contradiction, and the
situation can be improved quickly.
But this city is completely different, and its situation is far more serious
than that of the neighboring city.
Almost all the refuges in the urban area are no longer available. Most of the
refuges have completely collapsed, and the ones that have not collapsed have
been damaged to varying degrees. The stored materials have suffered heavy
losses, the industrial and agricultural production capacity has been
completely destroyed, and a large number of people have been lost and
survived. The spirit of the survivors suffered a huge blow...
So many questions are weighed on this city, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com makes
people even if they want to solve the problem, they can't find a place to
start.
Everything needs to be solved urgently, and also everything is not easy to
solve.
The victims need to rebuild a place to live, and the resettlement point can
only be temporary resettlement; the survivors who lack food and clothing need
more survival materials, and transportation by the Ark is only a drop in the
bucket; the industrial and agricultural production capacity is lost, even if
they want to rebuild, they must be opened up. The lines of railway
transportation bring in raw materials and equipment again; the loss of
population...
Only by solving these problems can the survivors who survived the ruins
rekindle their hope in life.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive, so there is no hope at all.
Perhaps for ordinary survivors, these issues do not need to be considered
right away. The more important thing is how to settle down as soon as
possible, and at the same time search and rescue the survivors who may still
exist in the urban area, but for Chen Xin, the team leader, and the deputy
mayor As far as such leaders are concerned, they must begin to consider these
issues.
To be able to solve these problems, the best way is undoubtedly to rebuild a
new city.
