"This is the number one, this is the number one, and there is still an hour and a half to arrive in Hanoi, and everything is normal on board. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Schlenberg hung up the communicator and breathed a sigh of relief.

The co-pilot smiled on the side: "Captain, you are really unlucky, this vacation is in vain, right?" ”

"Who's to say it's not, Leah has complained to me many times, she said I'm a bird who never wants to go home, in fact you know, what can I do?"

Schlenberg loosened his stiff shoulders: "Fortunately, our eagle is about to leave the white room, and I finally have time to leave." ”

Although this is the case, Schülenberg has developed a deep affection for this plane for such a long time, and he still feels very reluctant to leave this plane suddenly.

Since the emergency landing accident on the Hudson River in 09, His Excellency the President personally invited him to serve as the commander of the President's Air Crew Team in recognition of him, and became the captain's exclusive "Air Force One" for more than seven years.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you first, and I'll tell the eagle."

Patting the co-pilot on the shoulder, Schülenberg stood up and walked towards the back of the cabin.

As a veritable "White House in the Sky" in the United States, Air Force One not only relies on advanced technology and performance, but also interior decoration, which is also first-class luxury, and a lot of spending is actually on decoration, for this reason, the new "Air Force One" is required by Congress to cut spending in this regard. Of course, this makes the president very dissatisfied, but this will not make the president worry too much, after all, the time for him to leave office is getting closer and closer, and the next president should have a headache.

Outside the cockpit was the president's office, and Schülenberg walked through the office and through the hallway next to the galley to the office area with a telephone, television and fax machine.

The president was lying on one of the plush sofas, leisurely holding a fruit plate and eating fresh purple grapes.

Seeing Schülenberg coming over, the black president waved his hand, "Hey, my captain, would you like to have some?" ”

"Thanks, Your Excellency, I don't like grapes."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot you didn't eat grapes."

He put down his plate, "Do you need something else?" While the kitchen is still not resting. ”

"No, Mr. President."

Schülenberg declined the president's kindness, "I'm here to tell you that there's still an hour and a half to get to Hanoi." ”

"So I can rest for a while?"

"Yes, Mr. President, I'll let you know in twenty minutes."

"Thanks, my captain, I want you to come and talk about it yourself."

"It's not a problem, Mr. President."

President Barack nodded, "I have to work for a while before I go to rest, you go and get busy." ”

"Yes, Mr. President."

As soon as he was about to turn around and leave, Schulenberg heard a sound of footsteps, and several staff members in black suits hurriedly walked up to the president and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, we are in trouble. ”

"What's the trouble?"

Seeing that these people did not look quite right, President Barack also became serious.

"This is the information that came from China three minutes ago......"

Picking up a side-by-side document with a top-secret logo, Barack flipped through it, his face changed from serious at the beginning to surprise and shock later, and in just a dozen seconds, these complex emotions were shown on the face of the black president.

Although Schülenberg was very curious about what happened to cause the president to have such a change in expression, he knew what to know and what not to know, and he had no authority to stay here, so he hurriedly walked towards the cockpit.

When Schlenberg walked out, Berak stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Cancel the plan to visit Vietnam and prepare to return to China immediately...... Inform the others and ask for a meeting immediately. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Hearing Barack's arrangement, the staff here hurriedly did as instructed.

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting took place in the bilge's high-level conference room, which included Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Adviser Susan, and some White House security staff.

But that's just a small group of people.

On the big screen in the conference room, on a row of round tables, sat the vice president, the secretary of defense, the director of the Emergency Preparedness Bureau, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the secretary of homeland security, and senior officials from many important departments such as the CIA, FBI, NSA, and so on.

"Your Excellency, President......" Secretary of Defense Carter was interrupted by Barack as soon as he stood up.

"At this time, you don't need to talk nonsense, tell me the truth."

"Yes, Your Excellency...... But, the truth of the matter may be a bit troublesome. ”

Secretary of Defense Carter was a little embarrassed: "At present, we have contacted NASA and USGS, but we have not received specific information from there." ”

The scene on the big screen changed, and it immediately showed the lobby of NASA's Washington headquarters, densely packed with various screens and hundreds of standing personnel, all staring at the camera.

Dressed in a straight suit and gray-haired NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, he looked tired, "Hello, Your Excellency. ”

"There's no need to say hello, but I can ask, what is the cause of this? An entire city disappeared without a trace? Do you know what I'm feeling right now? When my security assistant told me about it, I wondered if it was April Fool's Day. But when I thought about it, no one would dare to make such a joke on me, even if it was April Fool's Day. ”

"Okay, my Director Charles, tell me...... Is it caused by a meteorite? ”

"No, Your Excellency, I'm sure it wasn't caused by a meteorite."

"First of all, we have long monitored the PHAs (potential threat asteroids) that can pose a threat to the Earth, and none of the 2,500 PHAs marked are likely to approach the Earth in the near future. If it had been an accident caused by an asteroid, PHA would have been able to escape the discovery of the Caterina Sky Survey system, which had razed the entire city to the ground. Moreover, the scene was not razed to the ground...... It disappeared out of thin air, and I don't think it was a sign of damage caused by a meteorite. ”

"Very well, I'd love to hear that those outer space stones don't pose a threat to us, so is there any speculation? Is it an earthquake or something else? Where are the people from USGS? ”

Hearing the president's words, the big screen changed again.

This time it's still a hall, but the number of people in NASA's hall is much smaller.

As the United States Geological Survey (USGS), in addition to scientific research and investigation of mineral resources, geographical environment and other information, it is actually responsible for monitoring and analyzing natural disasters across the country.

This phenomenon, which is similar to a geological disaster, will inevitably require the assistance of the USGS to investigate.

Suzette Kim Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the camera, and immediately greeted the president.

"Your Excellency, we have sent a team of investigators to the city of Sant'Anou...... The incident is happening, and the specific situation will take a certain amount of time to obtain. ”

"With your technical ability, do you still need to investigate on the spot? Well, can't you tell me what the hell this natural disaster is? ”

"This, Your Excellency...... Maybe, maybe......"

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe it's probably not a natural disaster."

The sweat on Jin Bo's forehead seemed to be flowing non-stop, and he kept wiping the sweat: "At present, the images sent back from the scene show that all the fault planes are extremely smooth, which cannot be caused by any known geological disasters, of course, we still need on-site investigation to know." ”

"In other words, it's not a geological disaster?"

"It's just that at the moment, it's not for sure, Your Excellency."

It's a pity that Barack doesn't really believe in the cause of geological disasters, judging from the pictures alone, it is impossible for nature to cause such a spectacle, which is simply too man-made traces. (To be continued.) )
