"This is No. 1, this is No. 1, and there is still an hour and a half to arrive in Hanoi. Everything inside the plane is normal."

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

The deputy captain smiled aside: "Captain, you are so unfortunate. This vacation has been ruined, right?"

"Who said no, Leah has complained about me many times, she said I am a bird who never wants to go home. In fact, you know, what can I do?"

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

Although that's the case, Shurenberg has developed a deep affection for this plane for so long, and he still feels very reluctant to leave the plane suddenly.

Since the emergency landing accident on the Hudson River in 2009, in order to commend him, His Excellency the President personally invited him to serve as the head of the president's air crew and become the captain of the president's exclusive Air Force One. It has been more than seven years since then. Calculating the time, it is indeed time to retire.

"Okay, let me leave it to you first, I'll tell the Eagle."

After patting the deputy captain's shoulder, Schulenberg stood up and walked towards the back of the cabin.

As the veritable "White House in the Air" of the United States, Air Force One not only relies on advanced technology and performance, but also on the interior decoration, which is also first-class luxury. A lot of expenses are actually on the decoration. For this reason, the new "Air Force One" was asked by Congress to reduce expenses in this regard. Of course, this made the president very dissatisfied, but it would no longer make the president worry too much. After all, the time for his resignation is getting closer and closer, so it should be the next president to have a headache.

Outside the cockpit is the President's Office. Schulenberg walked through the office, walked through the corridor next to the kitchen, and came to the office area with a telephone, TV and fax machine.

The president was lying on one of the luxurious sofas, leisurely holding fruit plates and eating fresh and lovely purple grapes.

Seeing Schulenberg coming, the black president waved, "Hey, my captain, do you want some?"

"Thank you, Your Excellency President, I don't like eating grapes."

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

He put down the plate, "So need something else? While the kitchen hasn't had a rest."

"No, Mr. President."

Schulenberg declined the president's kindness, "I'll come here to tell you that I will arrive in Hanoi in one and a half hours."

"That means, I can still take a break?"

"Yes, Mr. President, I will notify you in twenty minutes."

"Thank you, my captain, I want you to come and talk about it myself."

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

President Barack nodded when he heard this, "I have to work for a while before going to rest. You can go and do it."

"Okay, Mr. President."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Shurenberg heard footsteps sounds. Several staff members in black suits hurriedly came to the front of the president, and said with a solemn expression: "His Excellency President, we are in trouble."

"What trouble?"

Seeing that these people looked something was wrong, President Barack became serious.

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

After taking a side-by-side document with top-secret logo, Barack looked through it, his face from the seriousness at the beginning to the surprise and shock afterwards. In just over a dozen seconds, these complex emotions were revealed on the face of the black president.

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

When Schulenberg walked out, Barack suddenly stood up and said in a low voice: "Cancel the plan to visit Vietnam and prepare to return home immediately... I will inform others and I request a meeting to be held immediately."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President."

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

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting was held in the senior meeting room in the bottom pole, and the members included Secretary of State Kerry, National Security Assistant Susan, and some White House security staff.

But this is only a small number of people.

Just above the large screen in the conference room, on a row of round tables, the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Director of the Emergency Preparation Bureau, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Minister of Homeland Security, Senior officials from many important departments such as CIA, FBI, and NSA.

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

"At this time, there is no need to talk nonsense, tell me the truth."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President...but, the truth may be a little troublesome."

Defense Secretary Carter was a little embarrassed: "We have contacted NASA and USGS at present, but there is no specific information there."

The scene on the big screen changed and immediately showed the hall of NASA's Washington Command. The dense screens and hundreds of standing people were staring at the camera here.

In a straight suit and white-haired NASA Director Charles Bolden looked tired, "Hello, Your Excellency President."

"No need to exchange greetings, so I can ask, what exactly is causing this? A whole city disappeared? Do you know what I feel now? When my security assistant told me about this, I was wondering whether it was April Fool's Day. But I thought about it carefully, even April Fool's Day, no one dared to joke about me like this."

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

"No, Your Excellency the President, I can be sure that this is definitely not caused by a meteorite."

Bolden said firmly: "First of all, we have monitored PHAs (potential threat asteroids) that can threaten the earth. None of the 2,500 PHAs including the marks are likely to approach the earth in the near future. If it is an accident caused by an asteroid, then the PHAs that have razed the entire city will definitely not be able to escape the discovery of the Caterina sky patrol system. Moreover, the scene was not razed to the ground... but disappeared out of thin air. I think this is definitely not a trace of damage caused by meteorites."

"Very good, I'd love to hear that those stones in outer space are not threatening us, so what's the guess? Is it an earthquake or something? Where are the USGS people?"

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

This time it is still a hall, but relatively speaking, NASA's hall has a much smaller number of people.

However, there are still many large screens and data displays. As the USGS of the USGS of the 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 similar to geological disasters is bound to require the assistance of USGS to investigate.

Suzet Jinbo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and saw the camera from the president that came over and immediately said hello to the president.

"His Excellency President, we have sent an investigation team to the city of St. Annu... The incident has been discovered, and the specific situation will take some time to obtain it."

"Do you still need to investigate on the spot with your technical ability? Well, can't you tell me what kind of natural disaster is this damn?"

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

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe this may not be a natural disaster."

The sweat on Jin Bo's forehead seemed to flow constantly, wiping the sweat continuously: "The images sent back from the site show that all the faults are extremely smooth, which cannot be caused by any known geological disaster. Of course, we still need on-site investigation to know the specific situation."

“That is, it’s not a geological disaster?”

"It's just from the moment, it's not certain, Your Excellency the President."
