Chapter 805 Emergency Tasks

The discovery of bacteria on Mars among the three colonizers of the Ares Plan had provoked a thousand layers of waves in the international community, and the fate of the Earth's biosphere seemed to be in the hands of the China National Committee for the Construction of the Moon Orbit.

Fortunately, during the crisis, the Chinese State demonstrated a serious and responsible attitude towards the major Powers, and it was almost at the first time that the Lunar Orbit Construction Commission published its response plan that it calmed down those caught in panic.

In fact, the ark didn't take much seriously at first. After all, there are too many things he needs to worry about every day.

Until the morning after the return of the Xia Guang, a light blue pop-up window suddenly appeared in his field of view--

[Emergency Task: Biological Invasion (90 days only)]

At first, the ark thought it was still awake and blinded.

It was not until he sat up obscurely from the bed and stared at it for a long time before reacting violently.

Sliding his hand in front of his field of view, he closed the pale blue pop-up window, and the ark immediately lay back on the bed, closing his eyes and silently remembering in his heart.

“System!”

The familiar sensation hits the cerebral cortex and the eyes open again, the eyes are pure white.

Without any hesitation, the ship quickly walked to the full-series screen in the center of the system space, reaching out and pressing the options on the taskbar.

Sure enough, that urgent task is hanging at the top of the task bar.

And the task chain icon underneath it not only turns gray, but also adds a locked icon to the side.

“… it seems that this means that other tasks will be temporarily locked without first resolving them? ”

But, by the way, this was the first time he had seen the option of an emergency mission.

It appears that, as his influence expands, the study goes deeper into the deep-water zone and has gradually begun to affect the future of the entire civilization.

Staring at the locked icon for a while, the Ark reached out and selected the [Emergency Task] icon.

Soon, the details of the mission appeared in front of him.

[Emergency Task: Biological Invasion (Hazard Level: 3)]

[Note: Lower civilizations are always moving forward in death on the way to higher civilizations. According to recorded data, more than 90 per cent of the destruction of civilizations stems from their own madness, not from alien aggression.

[REQUIREMENTS: Addressing invasions of alien species may include and not be limited to:

① Deal with the source of infection: whoever causes trouble, we take whoever goes to hell (* * * * Consciousness +10, Risk:? %).

② Object competition, survival of the fittest: One day the Earth's closed ecosystem will open, and those who cannot embrace the future are doomed to be eliminated, only sooner or later. (Materialist Awareness +3, Social Darwinist Awareness +5, Risk: 70%)

③ The gift of the universe: objectively, it is a threat and an opportunity. Study it and find ways to coexist. (Materialist Awareness +10, Risk: 39%)

• Pray for them: Listening to God may be a good option, anyway, find a place to put them, maybe they will recover after a while? (Consciousness +10, Risk: 15%)

……

[Reward: Unknown]

Ark: …

I looked at the task list from the beginning, and finally, the Ark didn't know what to look like for a while. Even because of the number of slots, he doesn't know where to start.

And regardless of the unintelligible consciousness boost and what the risk assessment is, the column that makes him feel most silent or mission reward has nothing but an uppercase “unknown”.

What do you want to reward is probably related to the choices he made in this mission? Or what is included in the mission reward that cannot be disclosed to him yet?

But don't leave any information, at least give him a hint!

Staring at the taskbar for a while, the ark finally made a decision in its heart.

It would certainly not be possible to deal with the three colonizers first, and a little thought would rule that out. This would not only lose the international image that China has so easily established, but would also lead to a serious diplomatic crisis.

If anyone would be happy with that, I'm afraid there's only NASA.

This would not only mean that they would have reason to refuse to pay the remaining balance, but would also strongly condemn the Moon Orbit Construction Committee with a snot and tears. No one goes back to comparing the failure of Ares, people will only remember the cause of the deaths of the three colonists and the efforts NASA made to save them...

“The deadline for completing a mission is only ninety days, but it does not give the criteria for completing the mission, meaning that the criteria are based on the choices I make? ”

“Option 2 should be the most theoretically risky and, like option 1, directly excluded. ”

“In that case…” the ark stopped sight on option 3, "this is the only option that is most appropriate. ”

Whether the bacteria that parasitized the three colonizers were completely removed, proved harmless, or found a way to make it exist in the Earth's biosphere in a harmless way, the first thing to do is to find out what it is.

Thinking about it, the Ark did not hesitate to leave the system space immediately.

With only ninety days left to him, the time is arguably quite pressing in terms of research in the biological field, and most importantly, it is difficult for him to help directly, only indirectly supporting the research of other scholars, which undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty to his task.

With his eyes open, the ark sat up from its bed, without any hesitation to take out his cell phone, and called Shangjing to report back to the elders who were chairmen of the Moon Orbit Committee.

Immediately after listening to the debriefing, the elders asked seriously.

“Is the problem serious? ”

“It's serious," the Ark said in a serious tone, "we know very little about bacteria at present, and we don't have enough clinical evidence to prove it's harmless, knowing it's stubborn and vital and difficult to clean up by normal means. And 10,000 steps back, even if it is harmless to the human body, it is difficult to ensure its gentle integration into the Earth's ecosystem. ”

Though I don't know what Hazard Level 3 is, I think the problem is a little serious in trying to get the system to release tasks to him overnight and even temporarily lock his task chain.

Without any excess, the elder immediately said.

“I already know the situation, what support do you need? ”

Ark: “The return of the three Ares plan colonists to the United States may be delayed, and for the time being we cannot believe that NASA and the White House can handle the matter perfectly under pressure from public opinion. ”

“However, in order to better address the incident, we need the help of professionals from the international community. ”

“I propose to cooperate with other countries on this issue, preferably through the establishment of specialized scientific research organizations, involving the research and development forces of other countries. This is a global crisis, but it is also an opportunity for us if it is handled well. ”

After listening to the request of the ark, the elder on the other side of the phone nodded and spoke in earnest.

“Okay, I'll meet your demands as soon as I can. Besides, you have the highest decision-making power on this issue before the central decision comes out, and I believe in your professionalism, please do this! ”

The ark nodded down and said.

“Well, I'll do my best. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ark then called the Bureau of Science and Technology, briefly informed Director Li, then immediately changed his clothes, and then called Wang Peng.

“Come to Zhongshan International to pick me up. ”

“To the Jinling Space Launch Center. ”

“The sooner the better! ”
