The current city sand table looked good as a whole, but the details were not perfect.
The first was the problem of sidewalks, going out and taking the main road directly, of course, it would not work. Yue Xingwen said, “Xiao Nian and Ke Shaobin were responsible for paving the road just now. You guys go through all the urban roads and pave sidewalks on both sides of the road.”
Ke Shaobin rummaged through the pile of blocks for a moment, and soon found a small red brick model. “This should be used to pave the sidewalk! By the way, in most cities, there will be green areas between highways and sidewalks, planting some trees for cooling, and there are isolated green areas in the middle of the road, planted with neat ornamental greenery.”
Lin Manluo said, “That’s right, I’ll join you. You are responsible for paving the sidewalk, leaving a little vacancy for me to plant trees!”
Zhang Xiaonian added. “The crosswalks at the intersections were not painted either, we have to paint some white zebra crossings.”
The three of them immediately turned around and went to get busy, because Ke Shaobin and Zhang Xiaonian had already paved the road just now, they were very familiar with the path of the city. The speed of paving sidewalks on both sides of the road was obviously faster than before. Lin Manluo followed them, and every time the two of them paved a few meters of sidewalk, she quickly planted trees, so that the whole city had a new look.
With the embellishment of green plants, their city sand table was a little more vibrant.
The planning of sidewalks and traffic lights made the entire traffic appear more orderly.
Zhuo Feng took the initiative to make the water and power plants work, he said, “The planning of the urban power plants is very complicated, and we also have to design high-voltage electricity, substation boxes, and so on. We can’t handle everything, just roughly make it already good, right?”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “En. The score is passable, and we can’t pull wires from every house. Pulling wires and network cables to each community. Mobile phone signal base station, it’s enough to build one in an area.”
Zhuo Feng turned around to work. They were doing a macroscopic city sand table, and there was no need to worry about the inside of the building, so it was enough to pull the power grid to each community. They had no time to do plumbing and electrical renovation inside the community.
The problem of roadside shops was left to Xin Yan, who hung a large number of signs representing shops on the first and second floors of many residential areas, thus making the whole city more life-like.
Xin Yan asked, “Do these shops on the side of the road need to be named?”
Yue Xingwen said, “After it’s finished later, we will write the names of all residential areas and shops uniformly.”
Write ‘Guilin Rice Noodles’, ‘Lanzhou Beef Noodles’, ‘Skewer’, ‘Hotpot’, ‘Barbecue’ on the signs…

In terms of greening, there were currently wetland parks, road greening, and community greening was also completed under the work of four girls. The whole city from a distance looked like a cluster of flowers and trees from a distance. The level of greenery could meet the standard of ‘National Civilized City’, especially the flower beds on several squares, with senior sister Manluo, the design was quite beautiful.

Yue Xingwen said, “Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are almost done, let’s think again, what else is overlooked?”
Qin Lu looked down at the sand table map and analyzed. “Education and medical care are enough. There are dozens of schools built by my sister, and children in various regions can go to the school nearby. Most of the high schools are boarding schools, and I remember that there are only about 20 high schools in the entire city in our hometown, and 25 are built here, so that should be enough.”
Qin Miao suddenly said, “We ignore the elderly and children.”
Qin Lu looked back at her and suddenly slapped her head. “That’s right ah! What about kindergartens and nursing homes?!”
Everyone: “…”
Just now, they only cared about building elementary school and middle school, but they forgot about the kindergarten. Where did children under the age of seven go throughout the city? They couldn’t play at home, or run freely, right? There were also those elderly people who lived alone whose children were in other places, or whose children died unexpectedly, and the issue of elderly must also be solved.
Xu Yishen said helplessly, “I actually forgot to respect the old and love the young, and only cared about primary and secondary schools and university town!”
Yue Xingwen rubbed his temples and said, “Kindergartens and nursing homes, hurry up and build it! The number of kindergartens is only a lot more than that of primary schools. As for nursing homes, should it be enough to build one on a larger scale?”
Xu Yishen took the initiative to raise his hand. “I will be responsible for the nursing home, the environment where the elderly live needs to be beautiful, choose the suburbs that are backed by the mountains, and have a variety of flowers and plants. The house doesn’t have to be too high, five floors, with an elevator.” Yue Xingwen glanced at the city sand table map again and said, “Do you think there is anything missing?”
Ke Shaobin said, “High-tech industrial parks in high-tech zones, college students’ business innovation parks and so on. Since the north side of the city is a high-tech zone, there are too many residential buildings. Demolish the two communities and replace them with office buildings and innovation parks!”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “En. Young Ke, you are responsible for this part after paving the road.”
Lan Yarong touched her chin thoughtfully. After a moment, she suddenly said, “Have you found that there is no place to sell cars in the entire city? There is not a single 4S store.”
Xu Yishen quickly noticed this problem. “That’s right! In most cities, there will be areas where 4S stores are concentrated, where roads are usually wide and buildings are low.”
Hearing this, Zhuo Feng immediately echoed, “There are also driving schools and driving test centers nearby! When I first took my driver’s license, there were a bunch of shops selling cars around me.”
Jiang Pingce had been thinking down just now, and at this time he also added. “The logistics distribution center, which centrally manages the cargo transportation of various express delivery and logistics companies, is generally built in the suburbs, and it can be built near the 4S store.”
He pointed to a large residential area in the west of the city and said, “Remove this piece of residential buildings, and the whole area will be made into 4S stores, driving test centers, vehicle management offices, and logistics centers. These buildings are very low, and the visual style will be more unified.”
The vehicle management office was located near the 4S store, which was really convenient for the residents who purchased the car to register the vehicle and gave the license plate to the new car.
Zhuo Feng suggested. “Do you want to get a few driving schools on the nearby west mountain? I remember when I first learned to drive, the driving school was at the top of the mountain, and I had to go up the mountain every day to practice driving.”
Jiang Pingce nodded. “Yes. The flat land at the top of the mountain has also been used to build several roads up and down the mountain. You can build several driving schools on the flat land to facilitate citizens to learn to drive and test for driver’s licenses.”
Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “In this way, the vehicle management office, the 4S store that sells cars and the driving schools are all concentrated in this area, which is indeed convenient!” He paused and said, “In addition, I think there is still a lack of city convention and exhibition center for business fairs, or various large-scale events such as automobile shows and comic exhibitions.”
Qin Lu said excitedly, “That’s right, we can’t lack convention and exhibition centers in most cities! After all, if you hold an automobile show on May Day and National Day, and hold a comic exhibition at the Anime Festival, everyone’s life will be richer!”
Ke Shaobin proposed, “Let’s build it near the university town in the north of the city, where there is still a bit of vacant space.”
Yue Xingwen continued, “In order to enrich the lives of citizens, we will also build some more city libraries, art galleries, museums, gymnasiums, grand theaters, science and technology museums, and amusement parks.”
Ke Shaobin listened with great emotion. “I have never been to the Grand Theater.”
Lan Yarong said, “I went there for the New Year’s concert when I was a child, and there were often stage tours, youth film festivals and the like. The big theater in our hometown was invested in and built by the government.”
Jiang Pingce said, “Science and Technology museums are generally used for youth science teaching and can be built next to the Grand Theater.”
Yue Xingwen nodded and followed closely, saying, “The gymnasium, science and technology museum, and the grand theater. These three large buildings will be built in the same area in a triangular distribution pattern. Libraries, museums, art galleries, such urban cultural buildings, can be placed near the city hall; Amusement parks will be built in the suburbs for children to play on weekends.”
The teammates gave a thumbs up as they listened.
Everyone was brainstorming and came up with more and more things.
After the second round of transformation, their city sand table had become more and more perfect, not only solving residents’ daily problems such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, but also providing residents with rich entertainment activities, sports, cultural centers, and city convention and exhibition centers.
By the time all these buildings were completed, there would be only 2 hours left before the end of the exam.
Yue Xingwen said, “Let’s look at it again from beginning to end, think carefully, what is still missing?”
Everyone circled the 7,000 square meters sand table and carefully inspected it from beginning to end.
Ke Shaobin suddenly said, “I’ll go through the blocks to see which parts are still unused, maybe we can find clues!”
The library gave them the building block parts that must have included parts for all aspects of urban planning that they could not think of, and the library had already thought of. Therefore, by analyzing building block parts to find urban buildings that were not yet perfect, this ‘reverse analysis’ was also a good method.
Hearing Ke Shaobin’s suggestion, other students also joined the army looking for parts.
A moment later, Yue Xingwen picked up a small black round part and asked, “What is this?”
At the same time, Jiang Pingce also picked up a model of a small car and said, “This kind of car is also not used, it’s not a bus, and it’s not an ambulance. Looking at it… is it like a fire truck?”
The two looked at each other, and a thought suddenly flashed in Yue Xingwen’s mind. “Fire fighting and drainage haven’t been done yet, right?”
Jiang Pingce nodded. “En. Once a fire occurs, the fire brigade must arrive in time, so in addition to the public security and traffic police, there must be a fire brigade in each area. In addition, armed police and military forces must be stationed in the city.”
The existence of armed police and military zones could provide a great sense of security to city residents. When there was a riot in the city, these troops, who were usually not very active, could act quickly to take control of the situation.
Yue Xingwen said, “This black thing should be a manhole cover? I always felt that our pavement was not quite right, it looked too neat. Normal city roads have manhole covers, through the sewer pipe; it is also reserved for drainage pipes when it rains.”
Without drainage pipes, once there was a summer rainstorm, the entire city would be flooded by rain in an instant. And without the fire escape and fire brigade, in case of fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They had not solved the problem of water and fire!
So complicated, hopefully I am not a urdan
