An Unscientific Mechanic

"You want somatic and stem cell samples from both of us? What do you want?" Ritsuko looked up at Ian.

"I'll give you some surprises...or maybe a shock. It's better to ask your own opinions beforehand for something that involves personal privacy."

"Do you want our somatic cells and stem cells to clone us to do weird things, uncle." Asuka crossed her arms and sat on the chair with her legs crossed.

"...I still have a 14-year-old face now, okay, it's really okay for you to call me uncle?"

"It's frightening for you to ask us for these things. You asked Commander Ikari for a blank body of the Ayanami series last night for a purpose?"

"Um."

"I still understand the Ayanami series and Asuka, what's the matter with me? I don't have a daughter, my mother, you say I still believe in MAGI, or do you mean that you just want to start with MAGI?"

"Unfortunately, I want to attack three EVAs."

"Could it be too early?" I just hit the seventh apostle, and there are still eleven behind.

"What are you talking about...?" Asuka's expression on the side gradually became confused.

"The second machine can wait for a while. The technology is relatively mature, and the damage to the soul is not great. Moreover, a large number of interactions are taken over by the machine, so the driver's talent can be used more stably.

The technology of the zero and first machine is too rough, especially the first machine, although I tried my best to take over the synchronization channel with the first machine, but Wei can hardly hold on. "

"Yi Ikari... I have grown up listening to her legendary stories for so many years." He took out the lighter and cigarettes, but failed to light them several times. Can only embarrassingly smoke the lady's cigarette that I don't have. "And mother..."

"I said... What charades are you playing?" Asuka put her hands on the seat, leaned forward slightly, and crossed her feet, looking very disturbed.

"You'll see your mother again soon, Asuka." Ritsuko turned her head to look at Asuka. "It's impossible to understand with your IQ."

Asuka opened her mouth several times, but stopped talking.

"But... Mom, she..."

"If I remember correctly, Asuka's mother is also a genius-level researcher of the third branch?"

"The person in charge of EVA's mass production and actual combat is in the name of a genius."

"So, now there is a top genius in EVA who can overwhelm the first generation, a top genius who can develop practical wetware supercomputing, and a top genius who can mass-produce and use special weapons such as the first machine and the zero machine. A first-rate genius who degrades too much performance?"

"It's about the same...Shiba Kyoko Zeppelin, the person in charge of the technical department of the third branch of Germany, exists at the same level as my mother. Your evaluation is a little bit low."

"Don't you think it's a waste? Three people who could have promoted human progress were wasted in this place. They should have played a bigger role."

"Ten years ago, that group of people was much better than my group...Even today, when I encounter something occasionally, I have to go to my mother's notes to solve it. After so many years, I still have to teach me... Ritsuko looked melancholy at an old notebook in her hand.

Where are you Tony Stark from...

Ian's eyes twitched.

"Let's go, the cultivation facilities of the Ayanami series have enough equipment."

After working hard all afternoon, after collecting enough samples. The three of Ian returned to the regular facilities of the base.

"By the way, if the EVA interface is gone... the problem of manipulation..."

"I have almost pondered about the manipulation of the A10 neural interface. It can be solved through the brain wave reading system and a part of the mental power skeleton. From the standpoint of AT, fortunately, EVA is just an amplifier. With the assistance of these two things, the insertion plug When the depth is increased to about 80, the soul and EVA can be directly contacted, and there is not much pulse backflow.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the risk is relatively high, and there is only a little distance from the collapse of its own form, but it only requires that the desire to live is strong enough to change back at any time. It can also force the soul to be drawn out of EVA if it cannot be changed back. If the strength of the soul is strong enough to suppress the body of EVA, then you are driving EVA, the consciousness and soul temporarily leave your body, and use the body of EVA, the giant god, to fight. "

"Sounds like a good idea...but what is the probability of success?"

"It's huge. And in any case, the synchronization rate is close to 100%. It can be said that it is basically a transformation plan that can fully utilize the combat capabilities of EVA."

Ian has also learned to sit on the swivel chair and chat in circles.

"Of course, if it fails, there is a second plan. Directly transplant the zero-type system and fully immerse the consciousness. Then control the EVA through a virtual machine. I saw that SEELE is conducting an experiment of unmanned startup of the EVA. Wait for this part of the information to be fully understood Now, this transformation method is established. I still don't quite understand the method of activating the AT position through mechanical means."

"Can an EVA be activated without a human driver? Is this really possible?"

"It's possible in principle, but I don't understand it."

"Didi...Didi..."

"Hello?"

"The souls inside the three machines have been fully contained. The soul and body in the first machine are ready-made, and it only takes about two weeks to prepare them. The soul body in the zero machine needs to be re-cultivated, and it will take at least a month. .”

"sorry to bother you."

"In addition, I modified the No. 2 machine and used a virtual machine to simulate the signal of the human soul. Now the No. 2 machine can operate without a real soul as an interface."

"???" Ian was stunned. "Kayaba-san, is it so easy to modify EVA's operating system?"

"The situation of the No. 2 unit is quite special. The essence of the No. 0 unit is an apostle bound in a human form, and the No. 1 unit is artificially cloned and imitated ADM. Both of them can be used as triggers.

But the No. 2 machine is different. The design concept of the No. 2 machine is not to imitate the gods. Instead, with the strength and technology of human beings, the group of high gods were pulled down from the altar and trampled into the soil.

So, machine number two. In fact, it just looks alike, and can also release the AT position. It looks like the human weapons of the first machine and the zero machine.

That little girl was right, the difference is not just the color, the No. 2 machine is the real EVA for actual combat.

Therefore, the No. 2 machine can solve this problem that must use the human soul as the driving interface in a relatively simple human way. "

"Because the design idea starts from the human point of view..."

"In short, it won't affect that little girl's first battle here, so let her rest assured."

...So what you call looking up information is to make up for it...

In this world, Asuka has no chance to say her famous quote...

"Alaala...really...Ian-chan Ritsuko and Asuka are here..." Misato pushed the door open and entered. "Ala... Both of them are pale and lifeless, what did Yian-chan do?"

"Yes, I inserted a hard thing into their bodies."

"!!!!Eh?"

"And then a little bit of bone marrow was drawn out."

"Eh? What are you going to do?"

"I don't want to explain it a second time... Ritsuko will tell you later."

Ritsuko nodded, she also disapproved of repeating the word count for the same question...

"By the way, what about Kaji-kun? I remember he disembarked with us yesterday?" Ian vaguely remembered that Kaji molested Ritsuko while molesting Misato?

"That guy... went to the security department to get a lot of equipment, and then hurried to the United States on a business trip with Deputy Commander Dongyue. Really, I don't know what I'm busy with all day long."

"Going to the United States?" Is it to send SEELE's evidence...

Activated a team of bionic robot agents, airdropped directly to the vicinity of Deputy Commander Dongyue, and guarded in secret.

"I'm going back to the ship tonight for initial cloning adjustments, as well as body adjustments for the Ayanami series. You don't have to wait for me~"

After a burst of light, Ian disappeared into the office.

"Ah... this guy doesn't care anymore. He obviously pretended to be." Misato sat down on the chair that was still spinning. "So, what's going on with the clones, the Ayanami series?"

"He, decided to..."

Let's not talk about the conversation between Ritsuko and Misato for now.

Ian returned to the ship and went to the cloning room that had just been built the day before. The cloning chamber contains three large transparent cylinders filled with LCL. Below the column are various folded robotic arms.

Two of the four cylinders are empty, and a body of Ayanami series is floating inside one.

Put the two newly obtained cloning body data into the machine for automatic cloning process.

Ian sat down and began to adjust the body of this Ayanami series.

Although the world's biological technology is extremely high, the defects of somatic cell cloning can basically be found in this body.

Including but not limited to short lifespan caused by shortened telomeres, premature aging caused by chromosomal defects, etc.

As for mild leukemia, the hair color and eye color changes affected by Lilith are not a big deal.

The biggest problem is...

This early Ayanami series cannot produce human souls...it is even difficult to carry human souls.

The Ayanami body of this series is probably prepared by Lilith for herself.

This is Ian's conclusion after tossing all night.

However, if the body of the latest Ayanami series is used, when the cells enter a certain stage of division, they will irreversibly split in the direction of the apostles, and most of the human characteristics will be retained.

General detection can't see it at all, and even the generated AT position is the yellow waveform of human beings.

By the time Ian adjusted this Ayanami's physical performance to be similar to that of ordinary humans, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

"Damn it... After working all night, I finished Lilith's body adjustment plan..." Ian yawned.

Looking back at the three empty culture tanks.

"Two reads succeeded and one read failed?"

Now only one of the 4 culture tanks is empty.

The remaining two jars are undergoing routine cloning procedures according to the genetic information collected. It's just a bit faster...With the assistance of nanorobots, it takes about three weeks to grow to the state of about 18 years old.

"Ikari Wei's photo is hard to find...all of them were destroyed by Lao Ding. Do you remember that Dongyue still has one? Or do you just pinch Ayanami Rei's face and only change the color of eyes and hair?"

"Forget it, let's make one and try it first... Let's pinch it according to Ayanami Rei's face."

After entering the data into the main control computer, Ian returned to the Third New Tokyo City.

Back in the Third New Tokyo City, Ian slapped his head. Forgot that his current body was still Ikari Shinji's. Wouldn't it be good to clone Ikari's body with the genetic material of his current body.

"Ha... Bai struggled for a long time..."

Then, just as Ian stepped into the gate of the technical department, the alarm sounded.

"???" Ian turned his head. The large screen on the wall turned into a red hexagonal alarm pattern.

"Could it be that the apostles came a little too diligently recently... Can the Third New Tokyo City take it?" Ian turned his head and left. "Riko, I'm going to Ganaku first."

"Yeah. You're too diligent, the damage caused by the Sixth Apostle hasn't been repaired yet..."

"Similar to Miwan, the eighth apostle discovered that he is now fighting the second front army. Now, the apostle is advancing at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive at the third new Tokyo city in three hours."

"What's the status of EVA?"

"The transformation of Unit Zero has not yet started, so we cannot attack."

"No. 2 machine, the preparations for the attack are complete, and there are three minutes before the driver arrives at the base."

"The first machine, the preparations for the attack are complete, and the driver is waiting in the hangar."

"Where's the pilot of number two?"

"On the helicopter, we are about to arrive at the seventh entrance."

"Let her go directly to the airport. The No. 1 and No. 2 planes are launched directly to the airport. They are directly transported by the transport plane to Simian Bay to fight the apostles."

Listening to the familiar broadcast, Ian felt that the guy who might be waterier than the fish angel was coming.

After lift-off, Ian saw it through EVA's high-performance camera.

"Ah...Music Angel. He is also a terrible guy in water...Do you want to kick it with a knight?"

"Machine No. 1, drop it and start."

"No. 2 machine, start dropping."

Two EVAs were dropped from a special transport plane and fell freely from an altitude of nearly five kilometers.

Then, when it was close to the ground, the stand under its feet appeared, and the halo above its head disappeared in a flash, and it landed gently on the ground. The two EVAs slowly knelt down and let the power supply cart connect the external power supply to the body.

Then, the two bodies slowly stood up.

"Why do I still have to be with Da...Shinji in the first battle..."

"Because the current defense facilities of the Third New Tokyo City are almost completely destroyed, it can be said that they are running naked. This battle is limited to outside the Third New Tokyo City. Solve it as soon as possible."

"Then, I'll go first." Machine No. 2 started to run.

The No. 1 machine made an invitation gesture. Then pick up the M-99B rifle and start covering fire.

"Huh? Ordinary armor-piercing bullets?"

"The MDE warheads were used up last time, and new ammunition has not been produced." Ritsuko's head appeared on the side of the cockpit.

"All right."

The No. 2 machine was running on the water, and when it was close to the last 300 meters of the apostle, it jumped high and slashed down with the long knife in its hand, cutting the apostle in half.

"Did you really choose the most direct and handsome method..." Looking at the trembling apostle "corpse". Ian pulled the trigger decisively.

"How? My..."

"Asuka, back off." Unit 1 suppressed the two apostles in turn.

The apostle shed her skin and split into two individuals.

"Hey! Are you cheating!?" The No. 2 machine flipped back and forth several times in a row, dodging the apostle's slash. He retreated to the side of the No. 1 machine.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Unit 1, they faced the two advancing apostles together.
