Chapter 1,156 Level 3 Status!

"It depends on whether you want to resurrect Gaia or the Gaian civilization." After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Dr. Amos replied.

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course there is, and the difference is huge." After a pause, Dr. Amos continued to speak under Jiang Chen's eyes, "If it's the former, it can be done theoretically, but it's infinitely difficult. First we have to Find well-preserved Gaia fossils from the ruins and find ways to extract complete DNA fragments from them. Then we must integrate all the DNA fragments into a complete chromosome, and then merge all the chromosomes into the genome."

"What about the latter?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The possibility of the latter is basically zero." Dr. Amos said, "The inheritance of civilization is mainly reflected in the accumulation of knowledge and the education of the next generation, rather than genotype. Let's not talk about whether we can find a complete cover. DNA information, even if we unearth complete clues from the ruins and successfully synthesize Gaia in a culture tank, I bet that it from more than three billion years ago will not be better than the chimpanzees in our zoo. How smart is that?"

Amos's last words made Jiang Chen suddenly think of a piece of news he had seen a long time ago. The story in the news is that a child was raised by wolves. Even after he was discovered and brought back to modern society for treatment, he still retained the living habits of a beast and was unable to integrate into society or learn human language.

For some reason, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

For this ancient civilization that has been dead for more than three billion years, it is better to let it lie quietly in the tomb for future generations to pay their respects.

If it opens its eyes one day, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for humans.

At this moment, the watch suddenly rang.

Lifting up his sleeves, Jiang Chen looked at the caller displayed on the screen. Seeing that the call was from Ayesha, he told Amos to wait a moment, then walked out of the laboratory and pressed the connect button.

"There was an accident on the plane."

Before she could speak, Ayesha spoke quickly on the other end of the phone.

"Plane?" After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Chen frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "Which plane?"

After two seconds of silence, Ayesha spoke in a serious tone.

"...It's the flight this morning."

…

At Wake Island Air Force Base, it was still dark, but the airport was already busy.

The heavily armed Marines lined up and ran to the tarmac, gathering quickly next to the Black Hawk helicopter roaring its propellers. On the other side, on the runway of the air force base, two Boeing F-18 "Hornets" took off in an emergency and sped towards the Mariana Islands.

In the command room of Wake Island Air Force Base, the senior officers stationed at the air force base stood solemnly next to the radar image, staring at the radar screen, waiting for the Air Force's report and praying silently in their hearts.

A noisy electric sound sounded, followed by desperate reports.

"This is Worker Bee 1. The target airspace has been searched and Air Force One was not found."

"This is Worker Bee 2...", failing to spot Air Force One. "

The command room was eerily quiet.

All the officers looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to the man standing at the top.

I saw this man holding the phone in his hand and standing there silently.

After a long time, he hung up the phone, turned around, and glanced at the other officers in the command room with a serious expression. He didn't say anything more, but simply dropped two words.

"Round-house."

This is an order from the Pentagon.

The moment they heard these two words, the expressions on everyone's faces more than doubled. Many people's palms were sweating, but there were also many people with fighting spirit and even excitement in their eyes.

They know the meaning of this code name very well.

This means that the United States has entered level three and all military forces across the country have entered combat readiness.

The Air Force needs to prepare combat equipment within 15 minutes and wait for the next step of instructions from the Pentagon.

In history, the United States has entered Level 3 status only three times.

The closest time to today was September 11, 2001.

Just one month after 9.11, the United States launched the war in Afghanistan...

At the same time, Washington.

In a uniquely decorated single-family house, the sky outside the window is bright.

Mike Pence, half-dressed in pajamas and with messy hair, sat on the sofa, staring at the news on the TV.

"...At 9:20 this morning, the Boeing 747-200B (Air Force One) aboard U.S. President Trump failed to enter the Wake Island air traffic control area as scheduled after passing through the Mariana Islands. After being informed by the Pentagon, After the order, the two destroyers and four anti-submarine frigates docked at Wake Island immediately set off for the target waters. However, so far, there is no more news."

"According to reports from our correspondent in New Zealand, Starlink Trading has urgently dispatched the air force and rescue ships to the target waters to assist the United States in search and rescue operations."

"Currently, the Pentagon and the White House have refused to comment on the matter. An unnamed White House official said that Air Force One may have crashed, and the cause of the accident is still under further investigation..."

The hand holding the glass turned blue due to excessive exertion. Mike Pence, who was holding his breath, felt his heart beating rapidly at this moment. He couldn't believe that they actually put themselves on the throne of the president through this method.

He hadn't even had time to digest the secret agreement signed yesterday with the political broker sent by the Morgan consortium.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table rang.

Recovering, Mike Pence looked toward the table.

The name on the caller ID was John Corning.

He forgot when he saved this number, but he was definitely not unfamiliar with this name. Whether it's because of the former Republican senator's identity, or because he is now leading North America's largest intelligence agency, the FBI.

After pressing the connect button, Mike Pence put the phone to his ear.

"Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Vice President. Please allow me to briefly introduce myself. I am FBI Director John Cornyn. Let me briefly talk about the current situation-"

"I'm watching the news," Mike Pence said softly.

"...Well, it seems you already know that our Mr. President has had some accidents. I know this news is unbelievable, but it has happened. Our car is already on the road, in about two minutes It will arrive at your doorstep. Before confirming Mr. President’s safety, please go to the White House immediately to take charge of the overall situation.”

John Corning was only halfway through his words when Mike Pence heard a knock on the door at the entrance to the living room and the footsteps of his wife going downstairs to open the door.

"It looks like your people have arrived," Mike Pence said softly, trying to sound natural. "Can you give me time to change?"

"Sure, but better hurry."

After hanging up the phone, Mike Pence leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Probably less than half a minute passed.

When he opened his eyes again, the previous apprehension and nervousness could no longer be seen in those cloudy pupils. All that remained was the confidence of being a superior, and the ecstasy hidden behind the calmness.

From now on, he is the president of this country, and he will lead the country, instead of sitting quietly in front of the stage as a mascot who frequently appears in the public eye but has no power at all.
