Chapter V: Civil Air Defense Projects

In fact, Chen Xin's act of digging shelters in advance was procedurally illegal, because he had neither civil approval nor project filing.

But in the face of the impending apocalyptic natural disaster, the whole country has entered a state of emergency, all the manpower and material resources of the municipal department have been invested in the transformation of the original civil air defense project, and the state has also encouraged itself to dig shelters, so no one cares about the underground bunkers dug by Chen Xin himself.

The civil air defense project is a national project that has been being built in Yanguo since the 70s, although it is not obvious on the surface, but in fact there are a large number of civil air defense projects in major cities, but everyone usually does not notice it.

For example, the underground parking lot of the shopping mall or community does not seem to be special except for the entrance and exit and the inside of the heavy iron gate of lead gray, but in fact this is the civil air defense project, these underground parking lots are equipped with three defense capabilities, and can be used as an air-raid shelter and shelter in wartime or even in the context of nuclear war.

And now, in the face of a possible meteorite impact, in addition to active defense, the state is also vigorously renovating these air defense projects, transforming them into shelters that can accommodate residents for a long time.

Because the high temperature caused by the meteorite impact and the ensuing dust clouds and toxic haze will make the surface of the earth unsuitable for human life in the next 100 years, and the low temperature of minus tens of degrees Celsius and the long dark night will be the only scene that humans can see on the surface in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the shelter converted into an underground civil air defense project has become the last home that human beings can survive and live in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.

Originally, these air defense projects were not designed for long-term residential use, they were only designed for short-term refuge.

And now that humanity is likely to live underground for decades or even hundreds of years, it is necessary to renovate these air defense projects.

In particular, after the meteorite impact, it will bring short-term high temperature and extreme cold extreme climate, which has higher requirements for the ventilation facilities of these air defense projects.

Therefore, while the country and other countries in the world have joined forces to actively respond to the arrival of meteorites, municipal departments and engineering personnel across the country have also been mobilized to upgrade these air defense projects, as well as more critical expansions.

Large-scale underground facilities such as subway stations and underground shopping malls are being planned as future underground cities.

After all, a facility like a subway station, which is buried deep underground and can be connected to other subway stations, is a great choice for transforming into an underground city.

In fact, this is also one of the functions reserved for the construction and planning of subway stations.

You must know that during World War II, when the German air raid on London, the citizens of London escaped the indiscriminate bombing of the Germans by hiding in the subway station.

In addition to the transformation of civil air defense projects, the reserve of various materials has also become the focus of the country's response to disasters.

Grain will not be in short supply for the country in a short period of time, and the grain reserves of the Yan country are enough for the whole country to eat for three years, but most of these grains are concentrated in granaries across the country, and now they need to be transferred and distributed from the grain depots to the planned shelters in various cities.

All the work is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner, although some people want to take advantage of this kind of panic to make trouble, or to snatch supplies, but under the premise that the state of emergency has been implemented, it is no longer the police but the army who are responsible for maintaining law and order.

Under the overall planning and strong control of the state, most of the shelters have been completed on schedule, and the supplies are in place to accommodate people to take refuge in them.

At the same time, considering that the meteorite could hit the Pacific Ocean, and the people in the coastal areas were evacuated inland, although this caused serious damage to the national economy, at such a time, in the face of a possible huge tsunami, the country could not put hundreds of millions of people along the entire southeast coast at risk for a little economic gain.

Just like Taizu's famous saying, "If you lose your land, you will lose your land; As long as people live, the city can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, who will rebuild after the disaster?

In just a few months, the country has to prepare both a plan to deal with the meteorite and a nationwide disaster preparedness, and even a country with a strong government like Yanguo must devote all its efforts and concerted efforts to be able to barely complete most of the work in such a short time.

And in countries where government control is insufficient, society is already in a state of collapse.

Small countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America have fallen into a state of disorder and chaos because their governments lack the ability to respond to such hierarchical crises.

For a packet of food, people in these areas are likely to draw guns and fight each other, and a human life is not even as valuable as a loaf of bread.

At this time, in these areas, human beings have returned to the most primitive state of the jungle, and they are not much stronger than beasts, and the only thing they think about is how to survive.

While this is the same as what people in other regions still under order think, the ways in which the two sides achieve this goal are very different.

In the past, other countries might have come to the aid of the chaos and disasters they faced, but now that they are too busy to take care of themselves, even the best of the Blue Star Five can only guarantee that they will be able to protect themselves in the face of this global catastrophe.

In fact, even the top five of the Blue Star are in the best condition only in the country where the government has a high degree of control over the country, and although Britain and Gaul have not fallen into a state of disorder, their societies are still in chaos, and a large number of demonstrations and riots still make the governments of the two countries tired to cope.

As for Lucia, the situation is much better than that of Britain and Gaul, especially as a former superpower, Lucia inherited most of the legacy of the original red regime, and when dealing with this global catastrophe, thanks to the blessing of these red heritages, coupled with its own geographical environment and climatic conditions, Lucia did not have much chaos, and the situation was much better than that of Britain and Gaul.

As the only existing superpower on the Blue Star, the situation of the Federation is a bit weird.
