An Unscientific Mechanic

"After repeated confirmation, it is determined that the Allied Forces have rejected the funding for the reconstruction of the Third New Tokyo City Ground Fortress."

"The National Coalition Navy confirmed that the First and Second Pacific Fleets will be permanently stationed in the waters around the Third New Tokyo City."

"Have you found out the reason?" Misato spat out the toothpick after hearing Hinata's report.

"The reason is that although these arms companies are very happy to make a fortune in the Third New Tokyo City, conventional weapons have no effect on the apostles at all. It will only make their weapon sales worse. In the long run, it does not meet the needs of those arms companies. Benefits." Hinata closed the folder and told the news he had inquired through his channels. "So, now those arms companies refuse to discount or subsidize."

"Then what?"

"At present, only Neon's local strategic self-defense force and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, as well as the German HK company have chosen to support us. After all, their positron guns and Gustav train gun mk2 are one of the few that can attack the apostles. A weapon that works.

Now the two sides are fully producing related components, and there should be two Gustavs and two self-propelled positron cannons to join the defensive firepower by the end of the month. "Hinata confirmed it, and found that only 4 guns will be in place at that time, that's right.

"It's better than nothing, what about the other firepower?" Misato made an assessment. If there is another Angel of Power next time, the Third New Tokyo City will still be finished, but if it is other apostles, EVA will die without attacking the apostles.

"The air force and navy of the surrounding cities are in charge. The United States and Russia mobilized a group of strategic bombers to project the newly developed semi-armor-piercing missiles for anti-AT positions." Aoba looked at the report in his hand, this part is his to check.

"Missiles against AT positions?"

"It is equipped with an anti-AT stance generator, which is designed according to the strength of the AT stance of the fourth apostle. It can offset the AT stance as strong as 0.5 water angels, and then the shells directly attack the apostle itself." Aoba turned to the information. "Considering that the apostles may appear in other regions, such as the universe, the United States, etc., all countries have transformed some ballistic missiles and hypersonic cruise missiles to prevent the apostles from attacking. Of course, the third new Tokyo city and surrounding troops They are all equipped with this type of warhead for the AT stance."

"So, what about the effect on EVA?"

"With the stand strength of the three EVAs, as long as more than 16 of them are not hit at the same time, the EVA can maintain its stand. The armor of the body can resist one or two supersonic anti-ship missiles... 18, 18 large anti-AT The stance warhead will offset the theoretical EVA's AT stance strength limit." Aoba closed the folder. "But it's known that the stance strength of EVA has exceeded the measurement limit more than once. So, I don't know."

"I see, Ritsuko?"

"The technical department is now assisting the logistics department in the equipment preparation of the first unit and the repair of the second unit." Ritsuko rolled her eyes. "More than we expected, the evolution of the EVA three-machine driver."

"evolution?"

"That's right, evolution. The physical examination results of the first and second qualified persons, especially the first qualified person, have exceeded our expectations."

"Misato, do you know that Li is a clone?"

"heard about it……"

"Then let me explain, Li. As a somatic cell clone, even though she used Lilith's body cells and body fluids, she even tore the soul fragments from Lilith when constructing her soul as Lilith's body. The basic skeleton of the soul."

"In a sense, we created a degraded version of the Second Apostle."

"However, Liya still has all the problems of somatic cell cloning, such as short lifespan, premature aging, gene collapse, inexplicable neuropathic pain in the body, and the mismatch between soul and body. Solved. So in an area near the final dogma, we have a cloning center to store Li's spare body. In order to prevent others from discovering Li's abnormality, we copy Li's memory every week and use drugs almost every day Suppress the collapse of Li's body."

Hearing this, the people around, including Ibuki and Misato who knew a little bit, frowned.

"However, during the recent physical examination, I found that all the hidden dangers in Li's body have disappeared. Her examination results a month and a half ago showed that she is even healthier than most of the people here." Ritsuko hesitated for a while, but continued. up. "Strong, she is also stronger than everyone here, including you."

Ritsuko looked at the head of the security department, a former special forces member who was over two meters tall and had a bench press of over two hundred kilograms.

"Dr. Akagi? Are you sure you're referring to me?" The head of the security department smiled amusedly.

"Li's latest test shows that her grip strength is close to 130 kilograms, and her bench press is 300 kilograms."

"It's not funny, doctor."

"I also hope this is a joke, but their physical fitness is approaching the limit of human beings, or in other words, has surpassed the limit of human beings. Li's skin is so strong that ordinary needles can no longer pierce her skin. I must use Special high-strength needles were required to pierce her body.

Her bone density and strength are also increasing, and I believe her bone strength is almost equal to that of ordinary steel.

Not only that, Li's soul also changed. Human beings, individuals split from Lilith, human beings. Our human souls are actually abnormal, we are supposed to be one, but we have so many.

The human soul is incomplete, so the existence of each of us is maintained by a weak AT position.

And the so-called human completion plan, at the beginning, is to fill up this loophole of human beings that originates from the human soul. "

"But I heard from Ian..."

"The second version of the Human Completion Plan is an Ark plan tailor-made by Dr. Ikari for mankind. Dr. Ikari thinks pessimistically. Even if mankind is lucky enough to defeat the apostles, they will face apocalypse-level disasters sooner or later in the future. Especially the apostles the civilization behind it."

"This is the conclusion we came to after studying the sleeping ADAMS. The apostles are just their creations."

Seeing the distressed expressions on everyone present, Ritsuko smiled slightly, realizing that her purpose of scaring people had been achieved.

"But don't worry, the apostle is not a guinea pig. It should be said that the apostle is something like an experimental Godzilla. And Adams is obviously out of play."

Ritsu shrugged.

"However, we still can't beat them. Given the way Adams handled the apostles, we don't think Adams will be a friendly civilization, and now, the information he provided also shows that an alien fleet is approaching us Go ahead."

The faces of the people who had just calmed down became bitter again.

"Is this going to end... are you still coming?"

"Is there a way to make peace?"

"How to talk about it? The peace talks between the Indians and the whites? What's more, we have killed four of their members. They have killed 90% of the creatures and half of the human beings on the earth. How to talk about it?

Blood feud, everyone. "

"What about the enemy's strength?"

"Unknown, but not higher than the Angel of Power."

"What about the number of enemies?"

"The latest number is 16."

"how to spell?"

"They came to fight the first wave."

"oh."

"Wait...we're talking about Rei." Ritsuko brought the topic back. "Don't digress, Li is the key."

"Okay, what's the matter Li?"

"The flaws in Li's soul have been repaired, and she is now a complete individual."

"you mean?"

"Pilot an EVA, or something else, to make up for human flaws. Do you remember the girl named Mary who was smuggled from Europa some time ago?"

"What's up with her?"

"When she landed, I met Ian and the others. They can release a strong enough AT position with their human bodies. In addition, Li's body changes now.

I doubt that humans can really evolve into powerful and independent beings like the apostles. "

"so?"

"We're working on an initial version of the Human Completion Project."

"Has the discussion been enough?" Deputy Commander Dongyue opened the door of the conference room. "The apostles are coming."

"Huh? It's only been a few days?" Misato's expression was a little broken.

"Three days, not short."

"It's really terrible..."

"The apostle, suddenly appeared in the satellite orbit fifteen minutes ago. Spectral analysis has confirmed the blue color. It is the sixteenth apostle."

On the big screen, it is the sixteenth apostle in satellite orbit. Image of big glowing bird.

"EVA three, the driver is in place, the head of the second machine has been replaced with spare components, but the regeneration of the hand is not over yet, emergency treatment is underway."

"The first machine and the zero machine go first, and the second machine is on standby at the launch pad after emergency treatment."

"yes!"

"According to plan, the attack begins."

"Understood, the first wave, CNTMD launched, the target apostle, the estimated impact time is 41 seconds."

In the jungle somewhere in the northeast, dozens of hidden silos were opened, and several huge missiles were fired at the same time, aiming at the apostles.

"Second wave, the positron cannon is aimed, and the charging starts."

The 12 positron cannons with suitable firing ranges around the Third New Tokyo City opened their camouflage covers, and the muzzles emitted steam, slowly pointing at the apostle.

"5 seconds before impact, the anti-AT position generator is activated! Positron cannon fires!"

Twelve green positron beams point directly at the sky and shoot towards the apostles.

A few crosses flashed in front of the apostle, and most of the missiles were shot down.

When the remaining two rounds were about to hit the apostle, the twelve beams of positive electrons caught up.

But they were all blown away.

Then, the two surviving strategic anti-ballistic missiles hit the AT stand and there was a huge explosion.

"The attack is ineffective, the distance is too far, and the energy decay of the positron beam is too serious." Hinata quickly read the results evaluation.

"No, it works." Ritsuko looked at the apostle's data analysis. "Apostle will actively intercept anti-AT position warheads, which proves that it really works."

"But it's in such a high orbit... what can it do?" Misato bit her finger. "Looking for a chance to land?"

"Should we act cautiously here?" Hinata looked back at Misato.

"No, attack the enemy first. Ian, Unit 1 is going up, ready to attack the enemy in low-Earth orbit, and cover Unit 0's actions.

Unit Zero was in the rear preparing to throw the Longinus gun. "

Misato gave the order after thinking for a while.

"learn."

Units No. 1 and No. 0 were replaced with naked outfits, and they shot the Longinus bullets to the ground.

"It's so miserable..." Ian looked at the former site of the Third New Tokyo City, which was full of bomb craters and basically no wreckage over 20 meters high.

In particular, in this fortress city, many things were actually added by Ian's design, and the snacks were destroyed just like that.

Because machine zero is not equipped with s2 mechanism, nor is it equipped with external armor, it can only be connected to an external power supply.

After the No. 1 unit went berserk last time, the built-in s2 mechanism was activated, and there was no need to use external power supply equipment.

"Let's go." Machine No. 1 squatted down, stretched out its light wings from behind, flapped its wings, and rushed into the sky.

"Ian-jun, the wings are so ugly." Li watched Ian soar into the sky, and then began to adjust her posture. Ready to throw the Longinus gun.

"Apostle, there is still no change."

"Where did you come from Gandhi...Could it be a sit-in?" Ian looked at the apostles in the sky.

"Here we come!" Ian saw the sudden increase in brightness in the direction of the apostle, and subconsciously tried to avoid it.

"No, Li is also on the axis..." Ian suddenly realized. "Li, get out of the way!"

Unit zero just took a starting position and ran out. Dodged the searchlight-like light.

"Pointing at the weapon?" Li looked at the ground intently. "No damage?"

"What is that?" Misato pointed to the light emitted by the apostles.

"Unknown, photons were detected, but the energy of the light is very low, and there is an extremely weak AT reaction. But the function is unknown." Hinata quickly interpreted the data fed back by the detector.

Unit Zero held the Longinus gun, avoiding the light like a searchlight.

"It's getting more and more ridiculous..." Misato rubbed her forehead.

"Miss Misato, this isn't funny at all, it's very difficult to avoid." Li concentrated on avoiding Cai's light spots and ultra-thick light.

"On the top floor."

In mid-air, Machine No. 1 also rolled back and forth to avoid the sweeping light.

"Eh?" Ian glanced across the ground. It seems that this light, like a searchlight light, will be blocked by objects.

"Misato, I need you to mobilize available monitoring facilities. The apostle seems to have to shoot directly at the EVA, and the wreckage will block the light."

"Hinata-kun."

"Call the camera of the seventh base." Hyuga called up a camera that was shooting in the direction of the city. "Apostle, you can't penetrate any solid matter! Even street signs can block that light!"

"Fortunately... it's time to fight back, machine zero, all the smoke bombs are fired. Open the smoke!"

Li frowned, and the smoke grenade launcher hidden in the Federation armor opened and fired quickly.

Dozens of large smoke bombs exploded, forming a layer of smoke over aircraft No. 0.

"Smoke, the remaining time is 32 seconds! It's a bit windy today."

"Korea!"

Rei Ayanami stopped abruptly, and prepared to throw again according to the orbital coordinates.

Working overtime during the holidays...it's super annoying...but it's finally over
