August 8, two weeks since the closure of Aizu City, the connection to the ground was officially opened, and the cleaning of Shenkong Tower was completed. Kyoto Infinity expended a huge amount of funds, utilizing a large number of cleaning nanobots to dissolve radioactive residues, minimizing radiation pollution to the greatest extent.
The entire Shenkong Tower was removed from the center of Hui City District, leaving behind a circular void. Shops, hotels, and warehouses were all cleared out, and the holes in the ground were repaired.
Mayor Terauchi Masamune announced that in the future, a huge elevator would be constructed, creating a new shopping plaza in the form of a vertical shaft passage, for which various companies are vying to bid.
Shenkong Tower used to be a massive complex, encompassing tenants, employees, company personnel and their families, as well as schools and hospitals, with a population reaching 70,000 people.
