An Unscientific Mechanic

"Can you become a kilometer-long giant ship?" Misato pinched Penpen's face and rubbed it back and forth. "Obviously you can talk, why don't you keep talking?"

The penpen struggled while screaming "quack".

The penpen's eyes glowed faintly red.

"Tch! You dishonest penguin!" Miri paused and rubbed harder. Penpen's screams became louder.

Ian's five people drank tea and watched the interaction between one person and one pet.

"Spiritual communication?" Ian took a sip of tea. "Oh? It's delicious. Li's technique is getting better and better."

"Hmm..." Since moving here, Rei Ayanami's state has become more and more normal. With her own hobbies, her current image is no longer that of a three-none girl, but closer to that of a quiet literary girl.

"By the way, uncle... when can we fly that VF-35 again?" Asuka has always been obsessed with that high-performance aerospace fighter.

Hearing this question, Li also put down her cup and stared at Ian.

There are three words written in those big red eyes, and so do I.

Ian looked through the schedule, and there are no special projects that need to be promoted recently.

"Tomorrow, it's almost 22 o'clock today. It's not good for you to stay up late at such a young age. We will set off around ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Then the next morning, Ian, who walked out of the room at seven o'clock, found that the two little girls had finished washing and were eating breakfast.

"Huh?" Ian raised his hand and looked at the time. "Aren't you sleepy?"

The two shook their heads in unison.

"Then leave early?" Seeing the expressions of the two eager to try, Ian silently advanced the schedule a little.

"Then let's go." Ian went back to the room and picked up the tablet. "The three went directly to the bridge."

"Is this the bridge of the spaceship..." The two little girls looked around. "That... is Antarctica?"

"That's right, the center of the second impact, the South Pole." Ian turned his head and saw two little girls looking at the earth below through the porthole on the side of the bridge.

"What is that red circle within circle?"

"The gate of guf can also be called the gate of the soul. What is certain now is that the hole in the center is something like a wormhole, leading to the imaginary space we call the Dirac sea. But for unknown reasons, the second impact was blocked by the owner."

"Stuck?" Asuka looked at Ian suspiciously.

"That's right, stuck. I can't find a better way to describe it. In theory, a thing can be divided into three stages: before the start, in progress and at the end.

The appearance of the second impact maintains the appearance of being in progress, but it has no real effect. It's like hitting the pause button. "Ian saw K2 enter the bridge." K2, set course to HQ. "

"Follow the commander, start the main engine, warm up the hyperspace engine, set the route x113y21z33, and prepare for hyperspace navigation."

"HQ? Headquarters?" Li saw the earth gradually being covered by the hull, and turned her head.

"Well, Zhizi...the headquarters of the Consolidation Department. The real center of the future world."

The huge hull of the Enterprise adjusted its course. In the view of the bridge, the starlight in the distance gradually became brighter and elongated. Then the white light flashed in front of the view, and it became a pipe with a white fog border. Enterprise broke into hyperspace.

"This is... faster than light travel?" Asuka swallowed. "Is such a thing possible?"

"Strictly speaking, it is hyperspace navigation. So far, no special case has been found for the theory that the speed of light cannot be surpassed. It is just the result of moving at a speed faster than the speed of light on a macro level." Yi'an casually popularized science. "Folding, jumping, subspace navigation, hyperspace navigation, space folding navigation, etc., are all methods of navigation in space. It is still considered impossible to travel faster than the speed of light in conventional space. But there is one thing It should be noted that this theory is limited to objects in conventional space and cannot be applied to space itself.”

"ha?"

"In some older universes, the boundary expansion speed has exceeded the speed of light."

"Understandable, but unimaginable."

"It's just unimaginable. The space-time at the boundary of the universe itself is distorted. It can only be observed from a higher-dimensional perspective, and humans are still a little bit behind. Well... we are here."

The Enterprise exits hyperspace in the target system.

"Here is..." In the center of the galaxy is a triple star system composed of two blue giants and a white dwarf.

"Aldebaran." In order to prevent these three stars from being disturbed by gravity, they will start the irregular three-body movement. These three stars are actually anchored in a relatively stable orbit by six large gravity wells.

Twelve Starkiller Planet Fortresses with a radius of 7,500 kilometers in the star system are under construction in full swing, and 72 Death Star Fortresses with a radius of 1,500 kilometers have been completed, cruising around each Starkiller Fortress.

Of course, only the Starkiller Fortress and its six escorting Death Star Fortresses are within the range of the naked eye.

"These are...artificial planets?" Asuka looked at the unfinished steel planet from the porthole.

"Hmm. Welcome to the yet-to-be-built headquarters of the Consolidation Department, the Pandora galaxy."

"Pandora? Is it a derivative of Pandora's Box?" Li tilted her head and looked at Ian.

It may also be a certain 1.2 meter general~

"Cough, that's right. The disaster that may be released, and the hope that is at the bottom of the box."

"Is this the advice of your Consolidation Department to the world?"

"No, to myself."

I saw the puzzled expressions of the two people.

Ian adjusted his collar. "All of this is currently under my orders."

"Does one person own a planet... It's really a luxury..."

"I don't own a planet."

"Eh?"

Ian resisted the urge to assume a certain Lelouch pose.

"What I have is the "Golden Zodiac" fortress group built by hollowing out three entire galaxies and dozens of planets, 36,000 Star Destroyers, more than 120,000 auxiliary ships, and countless Huge armies of battle droids and clones."

"You...have built so many armies...do you want to rule the world?" Asuka stopped Li, and slowly backed away.

"This is really sad..." Ian looked at Asuka's vigilant posture and scratched his head helplessly. "These are the cornerstones of peace..."

"Peace? Peace can't be brought by these things!" Asuka took out the key case from her pocket, and the only knife on it was the only thing that could provide her with a sense of security.

"Asuka..."

"What's wrong, top student."

"He meant no harm."

"How did you know?"

"Because there's no need."

"necessary?"

"Three months ago, I was guarding the combat robots of Deputy Commander Winter Moon in the United States. Just three of them suppressed a whole division of rebels. Do you remember how many we saw in the hangar of this ship?"

"several thousand…"

"A total of 12,000 units. The computers in the general data are not locked at all... No, it should be said that all the technologies are unlocked, and we can look them up at will."

"But that doesn't mean..."

"Do you remember Misato's evaluation?"

"Eh?"

"His hands are tied. His actions here are tied. With the power he possesses, we can do whatever we want. However, on this basis, he is cooperating with NERV's actions.

Although the behavior pattern has not been analyzed yet, he has been acting around a certain purpose. "

"Say so many things at once... how rare, honor student."

"No way, you overreacted."

"So, what exactly do you want to do? With this level of military strength, and your fanatical attitude just now..." Asuka reluctantly accepted Li's evaluation of her overreaction. "What is the purpose of such a large army?"

"There are two functions. One is to prevent the so-called advanced civilization from plundering the backward civilization." Ian rubbed his face, then raised a finger. "Of course, the civilization I've been guarding against from the beginning to the end is only one... two."

"Second, the prevention of natural disasters."

"What kind of civilization needs this kind of army to guard against... and what kind of natural disaster needs this kind of army to prevent?"

"Spanning the entire galaxy, a super-large civilization with hundreds of thousands of star destroyers and hundreds of star fortresses, the Galactic Republic. A single race that occupies most of the quadrant of the galaxy, half-human and half-mechanical race, the Borg." Ian reported. The two civilizations that I am most worried about at present.

"As for natural disasters? There are too many..." Ian thought that they were still friendly at the moment, but they were really two races called natural disasters respectfully everywhere, ELS and Vajra. Without a proper method and a strong enough background, the moment of contact, you will become a dead person on the planet. There is also a beta that claims to have more moves than go, but has not heard of any follow-up troops so far.

"...too much?" This news was a bit irritating to the 14-year-old girl.

"Silicon-based life (ELS) that cannot communicate without a proper method. It can span the universe, span dozens of galaxies, and can tear apart battleships (vajra). Out-of-control self-discipline miners (beta). Only Creations of advanced civilizations who know how to fight (Jetra Emperors). Twisted pieces of flesh that assimilate and destroy all intelligent organisms (Flood Demon). There are so many that I can think of in an instant. Not to mention the black holes that run wild, supernovas Natural disasters such as eruptions, comet crashes, etc., which are purely natural and pollution-free.”

"…this"

"Don't tell me you're afraid of facing these things..." Ian pulled out an awkward smile. "Aren't you fighting alien artifacts out of control right now?"

"apostle?"

"Whose apostle?"

"...God?"

"Aliens, aliens who call themselves gods."

"Pride?"

"God..." Khorne and the others, whom I hadn't seen for a while, flashed through Ian's mind. "Do you remember a sentence from the Bible? God so loved the world."

"Of course I know."

"Then why do you say that?"

"Why…"

"Because of God, I really love the world." Seeing the expression of the red-haired girl in front of him return to normal, Ian also relaxed a lot. "In a distant different world, a group of gods known as evil gods led countless mortals to fight against almost endless natural disaster creatures. If it wasn't for the fact that the battle in the subspace battlefield has almost stagnated recently, I should be on the front line now."

"Of course, if it weren't for the stagnant offensive of the group of demented ELS, there would be no pressure for harmonious coexistence between civilizations, and I wouldn't have to bother to build this existing fleet."

"Wait, there is a fleet?" Asuka thought she heard a great word.

"Yes, there is a fleet. This seemingly huge fleet is really just a puppet without a soul. Compared with the Great Republic Army next door, it has nothing to fight. The meaning of his existence is to deter them at most. Don't go too far. Limit all trade, colonization, exchanges, etc. to a limited range. I am absolutely sure that there are still slavery Galactic Republic and Klingon Empire. Civilization, what will they do."

"Just like the Indians two hundred years ago..."

"No, at least people on Earth are still alive. As slaves."

"Hmph, let's trust you." Asuka tossed her hair.

"What do you mean just... I am having a good time here."

"Then, what are you going to do to bring the ladies here?"

"It's just so boring to simulate confrontation. There are enough target drones in the base here, how about having a good time? Here are all the models I just used. You can try them one by one.

Moreover, if I release hundreds of target drones for you to play, wouldn't the people on the earth go crazy? "

"Hmph, I see."

"Sharon will take you there, you can follow her, I will go to you after I have dealt with the accumulated problems here."

"Come here quickly."

Rei and Asuka left the bridge following Sharon's hologram.

"Why do you care so much about their opinions?" Another holographic projection of Sharon floated in front of Ian.

Ian sat in front of the console, rolled up his sleeves and began to deal with various technical problems accumulated during this period of time.

"Because she's the goddess of childhood..." Although she was quite old, and her skin was so thick that she could resist small-caliber armor-piercing bullets, it was a little embarrassing to say such words sincerely.

"So, now?"

"I'm used to being a granddaughter." Ian waved his hands on the virtual keyboard. "Whether it's the Golden Zodiac, the battleship, the EVA pilot, or the Gundam design, no matter which one, it's something that makes me die without regret.

Then, even if it's just this one time with Ikari Shinji, I want each of them to be happy. This agreement also makes up for my own childhood regrets. "Ian's typing on the keyboard slowed down a bit, and then returned to normal in an instant.

"Your childhood regret?"

"I have watched the TV version of this animation no less than 50 times, and the theater version no less than a hundred times."

"so what?"

"Rei died hundreds of times before my eyes, and Asuka died no less than a hundred times. This time, I absolutely don't want to see that scene."
