The airport in Eastern City is a full forty kiloters from the urban area.
This distance clearly leaves ample space for the expansion of Eastern City.
So in the future, this city will be quite large.
According to the information Anthony gathered, the planned population for Eastern City by the Great Xia people is rumored to be between 10 million and 15 million.
Upon hearing this number, his first reaction was skepticism.
After all, the total population of many countries is just over ten million, and having such a population in one city seed quite exaggerated.
But after understanding the situation in Eastern Great Xia, all his doubts disappeared instantly.
Since the Age of Calamity arrived, Great Xia unexpectedly beca the only country in the world to achieve positive population growth.
Although it only grew by a few million, this was already very remarkable.
In other countries on Canglan Star, including the Carnia Federation, the population has universally declined.
There’s even a small island country of tens of thousands of people that, unfortunately, suffered a calamity from the sea poisonous mosquitoes, wiping out its entire population.
It’s conservatively estimated that no fewer than ten countries, and possibly even twenty, have seen their populations reduced by over half.
In the global scene of widespread misery, Eastern Great Xia is undoubtedly the only "pure land" on Canglan Star.
Prior to the Superpower Era.
There were a total of 22 cities in Great Xia with populations exceeding ten million.
After the dawn of the Superpower Era.
Due to Great Xia’s implentation of a vast migration plan, relocating people from remote areas to several urban clusters, the number of cities with populations exceeding ten million soared to an astonishing 48.
The total population of just the above-ntioned cities amounted to over 800 million.
Anthony thoroughly examined Great Xia’s migration plan and was genuinely stunned by it.
What frustrated him the most was the complete lack of coverage by Western Hemisphere dia regarding this grandest migration plan in Canglan Star’s history.
If he hadn’t been appointed to co to Eastern City, he might never have known about the achievents of the Great Xia people.
Anthony thought, since the Great Xia people have the capability to establish such large cities, building another city with a population of ten million in Shapudian shouldn’t be too difficult.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a very slight tremor.
The electric bus smoothly traveled forward along the spacious road.
Due to continuous heavy snow recently, although the Great Xia people regularly cleared the snow on the roads, a thin layer of snow still covered them.
For safety, the electric bus traveled slowly, at a speed of only about forty kiloters per hour.
This ant it would take a whole hour to get from the airport to the urban area.
Through the bus window glass, Anthony carefully observed the road, keenly noticing that it was a newly built highway.
It was a main road with eight lanes in both directions, constructed to a very high standard.
A question imdiately arose in his mind: "Eastern City has only been declared established for over a month, how could the Great Xia people have built such a road so quickly? Isn’t this speed too outrageous?"
Especially considering the severe cold disasters, with nightti outdoor temperatures hovering around minus forty degrees, making normal construction almost impossible.
This question was quickly answered.
The passengers’ discussions revealed the answer.
"The Great Xia discovered a special listone mine in Shapudian, developing a highly effective quick-drying cent that can withstand extrely low temperatures, even solidifying completely within a day under minus eighty degrees, with hardness far exceeding ordinary cent. This Eastern Avenue from the airport to the city is its first practical use."
"Cent seems to require water to make concrete, but in such cold weather, wouldn’t the water freeze as soon as it’s added? How do they construct it?"
"This effective cent has a different composition, reportedly containing a special calcium ion that prevents freezing when combined with water."
"What is this calcium ion?"
"Haven’t you heard of calcium supplents? All the bones in your body are mainly composed of calcium."
Hearing this, Anthony couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, "Damn dia!"
Cent that can be used in minus eighty-degree construction is truly a miracle in the engineering world, a super weapon against cold wave disasters.
If such an invention appeared in the Western Hemisphere, like in the Carnia Federation or the Southern Cross Alliance, the dia would certainly rave about it.
But it was born in Great Xia, and the dia kept completely silent, as if the effective cent didn’t even exist.
How shaful!
Just then.
Out of the corner of his eye, Anthony noticed a few small black dots swiftly passing by not far from the road.
He quickly turned his head to glance and found they were drones.
The other passengers began to discuss.
"Are those patrol drones?"
"That’s right! The Great Xia people have set up a drone patrol command center in Eastern City, deploying over five thousand drones to patrol various city locations at regular intervals, with a group of drones patrolling Eastern Avenue, the main road, every half hour."
"With so many drones in a single city, Eastern City must be the safest place in all of Shapudian."
"Great Xia has stationed over a hundred thousand troops and built eight military bases in Shapudian, the military bases are even safer.
"Military bases don’t allow ordinary people to approach, so for ordinary Shapudian people, Eastern City is the safest city. Since the Great Xia people arrived, Eastern City has beco the city with the highest property prices in Shapudian, and almost all wealthy Shapudian people are considering relocating to Eastern City!"
