Chapter 453: Changing the Sky (3)
Luo Yuan sat in the mayor's office, flipping through various documents and information about Hope City.
His intelligence of up to sixteen points made him extremely fast. In just over ten minutes, he had read several stacks of documents piled up like mountains.
Luo Yuan sighed, feeling heavy. The city suffered heavy losses in this disaster. The confirmed death toll was as high as about 700,000. Although the disaster occurred at one or two in the morning, for the reconstruction area, there was almost no difference between day and night, and the factory area was still brightly lit.
Of course, if this is the case, the death toll would not be so amazing. Including the industrial area located underground, the reconstruction area has a total of six industrial areas. Although it is crucial, it is only one of them. The number of workers is about 500,000.
These 500,000 people are divided into day shifts and night shifts. Under normal circumstances, the maximum death toll is only about 250,000.
But in fact, Hope City was ravaged by two level 8 monsters not long ago, and a large part of the factory area has not been completely restored. In order to rebuild Hope City as soon as possible and resume industrial production, at that time, more workers sacrificed their personal rest time and spontaneously carried out intense reconstruction work at night. Among them, the former mayor and another deputy mayor were also in charge and coordinated at the construction site.
When the disaster came, these hundreds of thousands of people died instantly by the shock wave caused by the explosion of antimatter bombs.
The city of Hope, which originally had a population of more than three million, has only about 2.4 million left.
Among these 2.4 million people, there are about 28,000 scientific researchers of all kinds, accounting for one-eighty of the total number, and about 40,000 technical workers with engineer ranks, accounting for one-sixty of the total number.
This ratio is much higher than before the end of the world, which is the result of a considerable part of it being drawn by Xinjing before.
Of course this is normal. After all, Hope City is a key strategic city in the reconstruction area. In terms of scientific research strength, there are only more scientific researchers and engineers in Xinjing. What's more, the attention and investment in scientific research in peacetime is far from comparable to the end of the world where humans are struggling to survive.
However, although there seems to be a large number of scientific researchers and engineers, it is still far from enough to rebuild human civilization. Not to mention the development of such a number, it is already great that civilization can not regress. To maintain the current scientific and technological level of mankind, this number must be multiplied by ten.
Fortunately, the maturity of cloning technology has made the population a part of the factory production plan, and the number of scientific researchers can also grow through the cultivation of cloning people. As long as there is enough time, this is not a problem.
He pondered slightly, turned his chair, looked at the map of the reconstruction area behind him, and drew a circle on the three cities near Hope City.
They are Liming City, Duanjie City and Shengli City.
These three cities are not directly destroyed by the anti-matter bomb because they are close to Hope City. There are still a large number of survivors underground. However, the situation in these cities is probably even more severe than Hope City. If the support and rescue are not carried out as soon as possible, the survivors inside will not last long!
At least we must first investigate the situation of those cities.
Luo Yuan picked up the inside phone and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
As the municipal government, the route here is naturally connected as soon as possible.
After a while, a slightly dark-skinned young man pushed the door silently and said respectfully: "Mayor, are you calling me?"
His name is Cheng Guanghui, and he is the secretary of the former mayor. Although the one who has sacrificed, Luo Yuan has no intention of changing his mind. The power-making skills of ordinary people are meaningless to his existence that combines great power. He said, "Notify the members of the Sword Department to come to me!"
"Yes, mayor, what else do you have to give?" Cheng Guanghui said.
"No more, go and do it now!" Luo Yuan waved his hand.
Cheng Guanghui immediately left the office lightly and gently took the door with him before leaving. As soon as he closed the door, a kind of depression and excitement appeared on his face.
The Sword Department and the Municipal Government have always been two parallel departments. Moreover, because this department is quite special, the members are extremely dangerous super evolvers. In addition, they often ask others for help, and every time the Municipal Government deals with them, they must be careful, for fear of angering the other party. In more than a year as secretary, he has never seen such a plain and extremely domineering word, as if these super evolvers were like subordinates who were summoned.
However, for the new mayor, who was once the deputy minister of the Sword Department, the sword team members of Hope City seem to be indeed his subordinates.
...
Luo Yuan waited for half an hour, and the members of the Sword Department had already arrived one after another, none of them were missing.
Facing Luo Yuan again, these members of the Sword Department of Hope City felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
They saw the birth of a legend with their own eyes. In half a year, he was promoted from an ordinary team member of the sword to a deputy captain and deputy minister, and now he became the mayor of Hope City in one fell swoop. His strength has gone from being close to them, and then to looking up now. In just half a year, the distance between the two has reached the level of gods and mortals.
They had never seen the scene of Luo Yuan destroying aliens in the publicity, but they had seen the scene of the terrifying eight-level mutant beast as gentle as a pet in front of Luo Yuan.
Facing Luo Yuan at this time, whether it was his apprentice Fang Peibin or Lin Feiyan, who had always wanted to leave Luo Yuan, felt his heart pounding and extremely nervous, let alone others.
"Everyone is acquaintance, so don't be restrained, just sit down!" Seeing that these people were a little nervous, Luo Yuan's face, which was originally cold and hard due to the current severe situation, couldn't help but squeeze out a smile and said.
Seeing that Luo Yuan's attitude was the same as before, everyone couldn't help but relax slightly.
"Master...Master, have you really destroyed the aliens?" Fang Peibin couldn't help but ask curiously. There were people everywhere promoting this day, and it was hard for him to not hear it.
When Fang Peibin asked, all the team members, including Lin Feiyan, immediately raised their ears, but unfortunately Luo Yuan did not satisfy their curiosity at all.
"I won't mention this in advance! After this disaster, the reconstruction area is gone, the current situation has changed, and the existence of the Sword Department has lost its meaning. I am asking you here this time. I plan to break up the Sword Department and reorganize them and merge the evolvers into the municipal government. You will form a special action team. I wonder what you think?"
In the era of reconstruction zones, in order to appease the super evolutionists and maintain the stability of the reconstruction zones, the sword department was given preferential treatment. Whether it is welfare benefits or an amazing number of logistics service personnel, it is undoubtedly quite luxurious by the standards of the end of the world.
When he was a member of the Sword in the past, he naturally would not object. After all, as a vested interest, his butt determines his head, but once and for a while, after sitting in the mayor position, the existence of this special department felt a bit dazzling.
Lin Feiyan thought for a moment and understood the other party's purpose. From now on, these super evolvers will not have much preferential treatment. They may be treated a little higher than ordinary people, but it will be completely impossible to live a comfortable life like before. If someone else dares to make such a request to her, even the original mayor will make him see the consequences of overestimating his ability.
However, at this moment, Luo Yuan said this. Facing this, she felt completely unconfidenced, and stuttered, and whispered: "I have no objection!"
"Where are you?"
"Master, just make sure you decide, we have no objection!" Fang Peibin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Caizi hurriedly said. He was most afraid of Luo Yuan before, but now he was even more afraid. If he could, he would not want to stay here for a moment.
