The design plan for the dome city was quickly finalized.
Extensive use of foam metal in materials to reduce construction costs, while improving the structure of the dome city, changing the entire city from one large dome to several small domes in series, reducing the structural requirements and construction difficulty of the dome, and further reducing construction costs .
After repeated calculations, the cost of this set of plans is 60% lower than the original cost, and the project is easier to construct. Because of the design of multiple domes, multiple domes can be built at the same time, greatly shortening the construction period.
Moreover, the small domes in this plan can be separated and built separately. In small places such as counties and towns where there is no demand for large domes, domes can also be built to improve the local living environment.
This plan quickly impressed the senior management, especially the design of the small dome, which made the senior management feel excited and satisfied.
After all, even if the country wants to build a large dome, it needs to consider whether it can afford the construction cost, but a small dome can be built even if it is just a place.
The plan was quickly approved, and the top management decided to officially restart the construction plan of the dome city.
The first step for high-rise officials to restart the dome city construction plan is to plan a new dome city around the new dome city.
In fact, this was only part of the original dome city construction plan. In addition to the new dome city, the country also selected seven surrounding areas suitable for the construction of dome cities and planned to build a total of five dome cities.
The construction period of the entire plan is fifty years in total. Some of the five dome cities are dedicated to ecological research, some are used for industrial production and technological research and development, and of course there are also cities dedicated to residence and life.
It can be said that the original plan had Chen Xin's concept of piecing together a city through small domes. Five dome cities were put together to become a big city.
But now this plan is obviously unlikely to be realized, but the city construction site originally determined can be used.
However, Chen Xin has a different view on this. He does not support starting to build a new dome city directly. Instead, he suggests building a small dome next to the new dome city to verify the technology.
After a brief discussion, the senior management agreed to Chen Xin's suggestion.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Chen Xin opened the door and greeted his parents.
Although he basically lives in the scientific research center these days, Chen Xin still returns to Dome New City to spend time with his parents every weekend.
"You're back? How's your work lately?" Chen Xin's father looked at his son and asked with concern.
"It's going well. The country plans to expand a new city here in Xincheng, so I will stay here in Xincheng during this period and be responsible for supervising the construction." After a rough explanation to his parents, Chen Xin did not go into more details. He doesn't like to talk about work with his family, especially since many things he involves are confidential.
Chen Xin's father didn't ask any more questions. He knew that a lot of the work his son was doing now could not be disclosed to the outside world, so he didn't ask any more questions. He simply expressed concern for Chen Xin and didn't ask any more questions.
However, when Chen Xin said that he wanted to expand the new city here in Xincheng, Chen Xin's father was still a little curious: "Expanding the new city? What is the new city used for?"
"It is mainly used as a residential area. The population density in the new city is too high. After all, it was originally designed to accommodate only 60,000 people. In the end, hundreds of thousands of people were squeezed in. Counting the floating population, the total population in the new city is now It's almost 200,000, and it must be expanded, otherwise the city will be too crowded." These are not secrets, so Chen Xin explained it to his father.
In fact, these things don't need to be kept secret. You can discover them if you pay close attention in the new city.
After all, the new city accommodates hundreds of thousands of relocated people from the original urban area. In addition, the Titan Factory was built here to support the war. After various supporting facilities were put in place, a large number of workers worked here, making the new city prosperous. It also makes cities more crowded.
The living space in the city is limited, and many residential buildings were built urgently. In the pursuit of speed, they lacked reasonable planning and design. Many residential buildings are only capable of housing people, and are far from comfortable.
However, even so, these residential buildings are still overcrowded. If it were not for the influence of the previous war, the entire city was under a wartime system, and various social problems were suppressed. I am afraid that various social problems would have broken out in the new city.
It is undoubtedly a good thing to build new urban areas now and divert part of the excess population.
"This is quite good. There are indeed too many people now. Even our community can feel that there are too many people living there." Chen Xin's father nodded, seeming to be very supportive of this matter.
In fact, this can be regarded as a sentiment. The community where Chen Xin's parents live is one of the earliest communities built in the new city. It is a community built in accordance with the original design drawings. Both the environment and supporting facilities are in very good condition.
It is mainly allocated to people from municipal departments and scientific research units. Chen Xin can place his family here because of his identity.
However, even such a community is now full of people, and because the green area planned in the community was not completed in time, when a large number of people moved in, they were directly bulldozed and built with prefabricated houses to solve the housing problem. .
I thought it was just a temporary settlement, but now these board houses have been built. Not only the planned green belt, but also two-story prefabricated houses have been built on the rooftops of each residential building. In these board houses, It is already full of people.
From this we can see how overcrowded the population in the new city is.
It is not that the country has not thought of solutions, but it has been at war in the past two years. The country really cannot spare the energy to build a resettlement community, so the problem of population resettlement in the new city has been delayed again and again, and it can only rely on increasing Building prefabricated houses is a temporary solution, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
However, this time the expansion of the new urban area can finally solve this problem once and for all.
"Father and son, stop chatting and come over to eat." Chen Xin's mother put the prepared meal on the table, interrupting the conversation between father and son.
Chen Xin and his father had no choice but to stop talking, stood up, and walked to the restaurant.
"Wow, today is so rich!" Chen Xin looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but praise it exaggeratedly before picking up the rice bowl.
