In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group

Accompanied by Stark's narration, a model of a future City gradually emerged in Schiller's mind. Just as Stark said, it is indeed suitable for Gotham. The main problem with Gotham now is that no matter how much the logistics system is improved, it will always be in a highly saturated state, which means there is no redundancy for unexpected situations. In the future, with unexpected incidents occurring frequently on the grand stage of Gotham, various villains taking turns to appear, natural disasters and man-made calamities following one after another, if there is an accident, the entire City will be paralyzed for half a day. It's better not to develop at all, as everyone will be exhausted from constant repairs.

But now, Stark unprecedentedly proposed a concept of a three-dimensional City, or more precisely, a brand new honeycomb City, where each honeycomb is an independent structure with its own independent ecosystem, just like a living hell. To achieve this, it is not enough to build one building after another on a flat plane. Space cannot be fully utilized, so it is necessary to create three-dimensional road structures that can not only be close to the ground but also run through the City. Parking lots and parks can also be constructed in mid-air, and apartments and residences can be stacked in a three-dimensional manner.

In fact, this concept has been proposed by others long ago, but just as Stark said, Gotham is simply a perfect experimental place, because here, due to some historical development reasons, many areas of Gotham have spontaneously formed this pattern, just like the living hell. Indeed, the living hell is a slum, extremely dirty and chaotic, but that does not mean it is not part of the three-dimensional city. The living hell has initially achieved what Stark said, with independent regions, extremely high space utilization rate, and independent city ecosystems, which are the most critical characteristics. This also means that as long as the issues of water supply, power supply, and living environment inside are solved, a small piece of honeycomb is already completed.

The same goes for other areas of Gotham. As long as they are transformed piece by piece, one honeycomb after another will be completed directly. Then, by combining these honeycombs and using a transportation system that connects the entire City, Gotham City can become a true three-dimensional City. This is the unique advantage of Gotham, and other cities would almost have to rebuild the entire City to achieve this structure. The version of the development plan presented by Bruce is already very advanced. In Bruce's version, he designed a modern City with almost perfect City ecosystems and logistics systems. The only problem is that to achieve this result, it is equivalent to completely rebuilding Gotham. The manpower, resources, and various costs required are astronomical figures, and even Wayne Enterprises would have difficulty coping with the reconstruction of such a large City.

Moreover, rebuilding would result in a large number of people needing to be resettled, which is also a headache for Bruce and Falcone.

You can't just say, let everyone live in tents on the road if you want to demolish the houses. And in order to relocate these people, new houses will have to be built, which will double all construction and time costs. Therefore, they feel that this plan can only be a last resort and hope that Schiller can give a better suggestion. Stark is indeed a genius who is cursed with knowledge, or maybe it's not a knowledge problem, but compared to Batman, he is more imaginative and has a more creative 3D city. Even in this Marvel age, no city has successfully implemented it, perhaps there are some cities that naturally possess this attribute due to terrain conditions, but they are not completely realized, and maybe only a small part of the area has taken shape.

However, if this plan is applied to Gotham, it can indeed achieve a low reconstruction cost, short investment time, and leave a lot of traffic redundancy. Enthusiastic Stark used J.A.R.V.I.S's computing power to come up with a detailed plan, which was then divided into three versions. He proudly crossed his arms and said, "Now who is the most powerful person in the world?"

"Indeed." Bruce gave an answer after seeing this plan, "Your friend is indeed a genius."

Although he didn't understand why the symbiote in his mind made a series of frightened grunts after seeing the handwriting above, and then hid away, Bruce was still very satisfied with it.

"Is he interested in developing in Gotham? Wayne Enterprises will give him a very good reward." Bruce asked.

"It's probably difficult. He doesn't actually need money, and he's too self-important to work for anyone." "The common problem with geniuses," Bruce said, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There are many geniuses in this world, and it's impossible for them all to work for him. Moreover, with Gotham's reputation, those who lack common sense won't come.

After the building planning experts who were hired at a high price to look at this planning book saw it, everyone was amazed. In this era, without the help of computers, general city planning plans do not provide too many details, and most of them are confirmed after specific construction. However, because Stark had a super AI J.A.R.V.I.S. helping with calculations, the plan he came up with can basically be said to be more detailed than the Lego assembly manual, almost precise to the height of each wall, the load-bearing range of each column, the installation method of each wire, etc.

In other words, if you take these materials and build step by step, you will easily get a brand new Gotham city, just like assembling building blocks. And because the changes are relatively small, mostly additions, there is no need for large-scale personnel relocation and resettlement, at most small-scale relocation during the repair of the original building, which is completely within the acceptance range of Falcone and Wayne Enterprises.

Schiller suggested to them that Rome was not built in a day, and there was no need to start with the most difficult part. Instead, they could find the easiest place to start the renovation. If any mistakes occurred, it wouldn't make things worse. That place turned out to be Living Hell, and the living environment there was simply indescribable. Both Bruce and Falcone had been there and agreed with Schiller's point of view. Even if they made changes, it wouldn't make the place worse.

Thus, the first phase of Gotham City's renovation plan was launched as a pilot project in Living Hell. The "Four Body Armor, One Hundred Reclining Property" gang and the Wayne Group, as well as the Gang leader of all of Gotham, were unable to resist. They heard there would be compensation money, and they had already planned to take the money and move out, never to return.

However, the renovation was not a massive demolition and reconstruction, but more like repairing and fixing up. First, a construction team composed of Gang families hired a large number of people to clean inside and out. Originally, Living Hell had no garbage disposal facilities, and most of the garbage was thrown out the windows, leading to a huge garbage dump. It took thousands of people and several days just to clean it up.

Next, the water engineering team entered and began a comprehensive transformation of the water pipes here. According to Stark's design, the three-dimensional City's living water facilities not only included full access to tap water but also included solar water heaters and water purification devices. Schiller skipped the water heaters; Gothamites didn't care that much. It was only 1987, and couldn't they just heat the water themselves? However, water purification devices were necessary, and that's where Bruce came in. He set up an area water purification pump buried underground in each honeycomb city module to purify and filter the area's circulating water and facilitate the discharge of boiled water into the ocean.

Batman's intervention was naturally extraordinary. The power of this water purification device was already sufficient to meet the needs of circulating domestic water use, and it was also environmentally friendly. Next, the water pipes were laid, connected to the tap water, and almost all of the 2,800 water points in Living Hell had access to water. They no longer needed to use public wells or water pumps.

Next was the entry of the power system, which Bruce personally designed. Gotham City's electricity was abundant, but the utilization rate was not high. All the wires and antennas that people in Living Hell randomly pulled were removed. Stark had already used J.A.R.V.I.S to calculate the best wiring design, and Batman even appeared for further localization of the plan. After the wiring was completed, there was no longer a single visible wire in the entire city, but the electricity utilization rate was extremely high, and there was electricity 24/7. Afterwards, there are issues with gas and heating, and the solutions are basically the same.

In addition, the internal passages of Living Hell have been refined, and the original dozens of narrow corridors have been widened and connected in series with the buildings, so that all the corridor rooms are connected together with the shortest routes without changing the main structure of the buildings.

Based on Stark's design, Bruce also separately designed a type of elevator for Living Hell, which has a grid-like layout, and the transport warehouse can be transported from the residential corridors through the elevator channels to the nearest living areas.

In addition, the entire area has been equipped with essential environmental facilities for a three-dimensional city, such as a police station substation, emergency hospital, rooftop park, eco-forest on the top of buildings, sports facilities in alleys, rooftop football field, etc.

Due to the joint efforts of several major powers in Gotham, the manpower and resources used are far beyond the demand, and the efficiency is extremely high, and the speed is very fast. Most importantly, under the threat of force, there is no need to consider the residents' wishes, and no resident has come out to express different opinions or oppose the transformation. With the full effort of the entire city, Living Hell is quickly transformed into a complete modular hive.

The final step is the exterior renovation, including the installation of over 6,000 lamps with sufficient lighting power, reinstallation of insulation layer on the exterior walls, design of anti-theft measures for windows, installation of balconies, and beautification of the external facade of the buildings.

Inside the buildings, all the corridors are renovated, the unreasonable layouts are modified, and the storefronts in the living areas are all rebuilt into modern stores.

In addition, fire-fighting equipment, including reserved fire-fighting passages, fire-fighting equipment placement, and installation of fire sprinklers, is also installed. The last step is the beautification of green spaces. Although there are no green spaces on the ground in the entire Living Hell area, including rooftop greening, alley greening, balcony greening, etc., the green coverage area barely meets the standards. As a result, when the former residents of Living Hell move back, they will find that they are living in a familiar yet completely different place. It is a modern and even futuristic three-dimensional hive city, dense but not crowded, interconnected but not chaotic, seemingly lacking in some aspects but actually well-equipped, as if everything appears in its proper place, yet very convenient.

More importantly, in addition to practical functionality, the aesthetics have reached their peak.

A forest of steel rises from the ground, with metal handrails turning into branches and numerous lights becoming leaves. Amidst the dancing light dots, the vitality that grows in the cold steel framework perfectly matches this crazy city. People come and go, light and shadow intertwine, warmth and cold stack, making the city even more immense, and humans appear even smaller.

Now, Coca-Cola was in 1987, during an era when most cities were still characterized by high-rise buildings and highways. A cyber-style city like this would have been cutting-edge even in the 21st century, let alone now where it is truly breathtaking.

Moreover, the purpose of building this modular city was not only to improve the living quality of its citizens, but also, and more importantly, to increase the transportation capacity of the area. Two overpasses intersect through the center of this city, which triples the road capacity of the entire street. Many truck drivers no longer use the adjacent streets but instead take the overpasses, allowing for an instantaneous rise in the transportation capabilities of this area. Furthermore, in case of any accidents on the road, there are signs at the entrance indicating alternative routes for drivers to take, providing a considerable redundancy for logistics transportation.
