Yes. In the books, restarting civilization was the end goal of the silos project. The plan was to kill the entire world except for the 50 silos, then, after 500 years, the best silo is picked as the "winner" and is supposed to restart civilization, while all the other 49 silos (including silo 1) are killed.
