> it "just" takes some years and heaping piles of money to replace them. though probably more if you're trying to replace them all at once, as there aren't a lot of folks who make the equipment to rebuild the fabs. You can't buy an economy. You'll need a petrochemical industry for example for all the insulators and other substances that go into the making of chips and you'll need mines for precious metals or recycle them from scratch and of course an energy industry. Just those few examples are their own are giant economical pyramids on their own rights, and would be very hard to replace even if most relevant university graduates made it alive to this point. > sounds like you're more concerned about loss of the personnel and records, rather than the buildings. I don't know you say this, I was more focused on the process as a whole on a macro scale. > i mean, "world peace" is generally concerned with preventing it from being destroyed in the first place. I never mentioned war in particular. Could be a solar flare, an asteroid, a plague (and look how we were prepared for this one).
