The hidden reason for "the line" City development in Saudi arabia. It can't be wiped out with one nuclear weapon.

If you don't know it's Saudi Arabia's proposed building a city as a giant line with mirrored walls that stretches across the long dead portion of the desert. And people are commenting on whether it's a good idea or not but one thing I just realized was that if you don't have a city that is basically spreading out from a center point and instead have it as a line then it makes it almost impervious to easy destruction by nuclear weapons. You'd have to have a number of nuclear weapons to hit every portion of the line to take that City out. The best anyone could do is just a portion of the line. I don't know if that's one of the reasons they're doing it but thinking ahead the Middle East and in fact the whole world is just going to be one huge nuclear trigger area and it would make sense to do that. Especially if a substantial portion of the city is actually going to be buried underground as well like infrastructure.

It's an enclosed area that has not that much total volume (due to the "line" being not very wide). One nuclear blast on one end of it would probably catapult irradiated material down the entire line.

An interesting theory and while it's true you wouldn't be able to vaporize the entire thing with one nuke (which tbh isn't that big of a problem for any nuclear-equipped military, they all have hundreds of nukes), in practice a single nuke would probably be more effective against this thing than a regular blob-shaped city due to its enclosed nature.

All that said, it will never happen anyway because it's a retarded and logistically impossible thing.

Where would they house the workers? And they would have to buy up the world's supply of steel, PVC, aluminum, concrete, glass, carpet, tile, etc etc. Fucking retarded scam.

Agreed, it's probably one of the stupidest designs I've seen for these utopian mega-future cities. I think the common theme with them is that they're all completely retarded and look like they would be a nightmare to live in.

What's the outside mirrored surface even supposed to be made of? There's no fucking way they could fab that in any reasonable way. I hate this stupid video and people fawning over it so much.

Just digging and pouring the foundation would take 100 years, lol
