An Unscientific Mechanic

"This is the end..."

"The target object moves extremely fast, and the emitted light beam deteriorates!" Hinata found that the detection data was changing extremely rapidly. "The light beams emitted by the apostles have high-energy reactions!"

"The smoke was blown away?"

Machine zero gave up the throw and avoided the apostle's beam.

"Cut..." Li revealed an expression of unwillingness, and said that she was ready to throw just now.

Unit 1 continued to rise while avoiding the light of the apostles.

"I'm about to reach the height of the air-throwing. How's the orbital data?" Ian also saw the apostle moving at a high speed. In just a short while, the apostle moved more than 3,000 kilometers, and now it is 400 kilometers directly above the third new Tokyo city. The place.

"Unit zero is preparing to retreat, and surface throwing is no longer possible."

"Misato?" Ritsuko didn't respond.

"The ground throwing plan of No. 0 machine is based on the fact that No. 0 machine has a series of reasonable force movements such as run-up. Look at the position of the apostle, can No. 0 machine throw reasonably." Misato pointed at the third new The Apostle directly above the city of Tokyo.

"I understand, but there is no place for Unit Zero to retreat. The three recycling facilities at the foot of the mountain are all destroyed. The recycling facilities in the city must go through a vertical passage of at least 100 meters no matter what. According to Zero Judging from the movement performance of the No. 0 machine, it will be exposed to the firepower of the apostle for 2 seconds. I don’t want to bet on whether the position of the No. 0 machine can resist the attack of the apostle.”

"If you want to recover the position... Here, contact the surrounding artillery positions. I want to be in these positions. At a height below 1,500 meters, there must be enough thick smoke every 100 meters. It should be about 4 seconds. Time." Misato glanced at the location of the remaining recycling ports.

"Li, did you see it? The recycling port is already..."

A beam of light descended from the sky, directly destroying the recovery port. At the same time, it also blew up the 24-story explosion-proof gate of the ejection channel directly below the recovery port.

Only three gates away, you can directly blast to EVA's Ganaku.

"Not good! Li!"

Rei Ayanami was distracted by the explosion over there, and was accidentally enveloped by the apostle's beam.

"Apostle activities stop!"

"Close the gate on the ground, where is machine zero?"

"Similarly, the activity stopped, and the nerve pulse of machine zero was abnormal... it was mental pollution! The apostle is touching the driver's spirit." Hyuga switched to the driver's mental monitoring data. "The driver...is the driver normal?"

"What about the communication?"

"The input lines here have been cut off, and the communication is not possible. Unit zero is completely out of control."

Yibui heard about the mental pollution and started to analyze the data.

"No, the link between the pilot of Unit Zero and Unit Zero is abnormal. There are two spiritual links? Senior?" Ibuki turned to look at Ritsuko.

Ritsuko took over the operation of the computer.

"The mental signals are highly consistent." Ritsuko recalled the previous mental monitoring signals of Rei Ayanami. "There are two people in the cockpit?"

"...Li's soul uses Lilith's soul fragments as the skeleton..."

"Lilith?" Ritsuko whispered her conjecture.

Then……

The realistic line-shaped legend on the screen in front of him forcibly twisted out a pattern.

ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

Ritsuko got excited and almost threw the computer in her hand.

On the other side, in machine zero.

Rei Ayanami didn't know what expression to make to face what was happening to her.

After the apostle's light enveloped the zero machine, the nerve link between the zero machine and the driver was cut off by the apostle.

No matter how hard Rei Ayanami tried, Machine Zero couldn't move.

No matter whether Rei Ayanami imagined it or pulled the joystick, the No. 0 machine didn't move. Even the escape lever under the seat also lost its function.

This feeling of being locked in a cage once made Ayanami very uneasy.

But... strange things began.

Rei Ayanami felt that someone was watching her.

Rei Ayanami looked back and forth anxiously at the insertion plug.

Although the display screen in the cockpit is still displaying the surrounding environment normally, it feels like being spied on when you can't get out. Let Ayanami Rei realize for the first time what claustrophobia is.

"Hehehehe..." A child's laughter came from Ayanami Rei's ear.

Laughter that usually expresses a happy mood, now, there is only a feeling of shock and creepiness.

Ayanami Rei's feeling of being spied on is rising rapidly, what makes people uncomfortable is... this feeling has surpassed adultery... and at the same time, there is a sense of reassurance.

Like a mother's arms...

Sorry... under clone, my mom is a petri dish, she has no arms.

Rei Ayanami woke up abruptly from the reassuring temptation, and a free and easy smile similar to Ian's gradually appeared on her face. Bend your legs. Putting his hands on his knees, he sat down and performed Lao Ding's signature action.

Under the cover of the palm, the free and easy smile gradually turned into a wicked smile.

Slowly began to build a certain "brain defense technique" in my mind - Li Qun e8.

When she was reading classic online literature novels from other worlds, the method mentioned by a certain Hogwarts on the tip of her tongue.

The Lie group e8 is one of the most complex mathematical structures proposed by humans, which describes a 248-latitude symmetric structure.

In the 1980s, it took a full 77 hours of continuous calculations using the supercomputer Sage to calculate the results.

Many scientific projects deal with huge amounts of data, but E8's calculations are an exception: the amount of data required for input is small, but the answers themselves are large and very dense.

So, just now Rei Ayanami constructed the calculation input formula of this set in her mind.

Didn't you let Miss Ben let go of her mind and let you spy? Damn you.

Then... when the apostle excitedly started to deduce...the apostle... got stuck.

And Lilith, who followed the soul fragments and was about to protect Ayanami Rei...

She was expelled from Ayanami Rei's body with mosquito coils.

She also deduced this structure just now out of curiosity. Although she had read a lot of books back then, she quickly understood this structure, but the huge amount of calculations also made her dizzy.

"Where did you get the inspiration to use this to fight against mental pollution..." Lilith's consciousness floated beside Ayanami Rei.

"Fiction. If magic can only be countered with magic, then spiritual pollution can only be countered with spiritual pollution."

Lilith followed the light of the apostles to counter-invade back, and found that the 16th apostle was still stuck...

"Let you ponder these shady skills all day long, and you'll be capsized in the gutter." Lilith knocked on the heads of the sixteen apostles (consciousness body)

"Li, you don't have to worry about being spied on by this kid. His mental pollution is only for creatures with imperfect souls, that is, the human beings I have degraded. People like you who have already made up for their soul defects can't get in. of."

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" Rei Ayanami thought of an adjective that felt very appropriate.

Lilith was taken aback for a moment, her eyes wandered for a while, and then she smiled.

"That's right, bullying the weak and fearing the strong." Li Lisi said in her heart, creatures with complete souls like apostles and Ayanami Rei, he can't enter their spiritual world at all, and ordinary people with firm will or relatively simple can hardly be induced, it's broken Tian can only induce those who have obvious trauma in their hearts, and destroy their spiritual world by triggering the memories they least want to see.

In the world of the first week, Asuka was caught in the trauma of her heart for various reasons, which caused countless big and small blows including her mother's suicide and her father's derailment, and she fell into a state of mental breakdown.

When Lilith gave Ayanami Li the ability to popularize the apostle, Ian reached the throwing height.

Holding the Longinus gun in one hand in the right hand, with the help of the initial speed given by the accelerated ascent, the No. 1 machine twisted its waist in the air and drove its arms to swing up.

One second before machine No. 1 threw the Longinus gun, the tip of the Longinus gun could be separated and twisted into an iron pillar.

Then, the Longinus spear was thrown in mid-air by Unit 1 and flew towards the apostle.

The Longinus spear flew out over the stratosphere, crossed a curve, and shot directly through the apostle's core.

"Ale? Where's the position?" Ian felt that something was wrong with his hand, was it a phantom?

After Longinus shot through the apostle, the apostle turned into a vortex, and his limbs were torn apart.

"Bait?" Ian was not sure, why this guy didn't have any AT position at all, and died so randomly.

"No, the blue spectrum reaction has indeed disappeared." Hinata connected to the dialogue channel with Ian.

"Mr. Yi'an, the apostle has indeed been wiped out." After the apostle was destroyed, Li took over control of machine zero again. Communication naturally resumed.

Ian always felt that the ending was a bit too hasty, at least it was normal to have an AT stand to set it off.

"No problem, the apostle has been wiped out." A rather strange voice came through the communication.

Ian desperately recalled this strange but familiar voice.

"It's me, Lilith."

"Can you come out?"

"Now that the LCL for rebuilding the body is almost collected, the strength of the body has increased, and the soul has naturally become much freer. The consciousness can come out of the original body freely."

"You apostles are so convenient..."

"I am over-flattered."

"..."

Under the effect of inertia, the No. 1 aircraft crossed a parabola, entered the atmosphere and then broke into orbit.

In the process of falling, the right hand of Unit 1 stretched forward, recalling the Longinus gun that broke through the first cosmic speed and was dangling in the low-earth orbit.

"Compared to Angel of Strength, it's so easy to deal with this apostle..."

"That's why you are now invulnerable to my stupid brother." Lilith roughly explained the way the sixteenth apostle invaded the mind.

It's not so much an intrusion, it's better to use the loopholes in the human soul to get in, just like using a Trojan horse program to control other computers. For a virus to invade, at least a physical medium is required.

If the target computer is not connected to the Internet or the firewall is impeccable, then the virus cannot enter at all, let alone control.

"Didn't it mean that if EVA and Lilith come into contact, it is likely to trigger a third impact? Why did Lilith's soul escape... and it is still active in Unit Zero." Ibuki recalled the documents he had read earlier , discussing with Hinata in a low voice.

"I'm afraid that in the version of the apostle defense plan and precautions we saw, a large part of the precautions were made by Commander Ikari to confuse the public."

"Almost, the third impact requires a detailed ceremony to guide, with the flesh and blood of the old apostle as the introduction, the existence of the new apostle as the core, and the fully awakened No. 1 machine as the protagonist. The three are indispensable." Ritsuko heard them The discussion casually answered. "Before the ceremony is over, it's not a problem for EVA to contact Lilith. Lilith was carried to the cross by machine zero to seal it."

"Really..." Yibuki blinked his eyes.

"That memo was also figured out by us to fool people. The more things to pay attention to, the more it looks like the same thing, the more trustworthy the old man above will be. After all, if you tell them the precautions, only the apostle and Lilith can't have physical contact. , The rest of you love it, those old men will feel that you are perfunctory to them."

"Oh..." Ibuki looked at Ritsuko with a playful expression on his face.

The next day, in the commander's office.

Ritsuko, Misato, Lao Ding, Fuyutsuki, and Ian held a small meeting in the commander's office.

"According to our investigation, a certain special material circulating on the market for the production of EVA has been purchased by mysterious forces. The total quantity can produce about 9 to 10 EVA. In this regard, Ikari-kun and I judge that the committee's The old man, there may still be fish that slipped through the net, they are likely to be preparing for the final stage of the human completion plan." Dongyue put down the A4 paper that had just been read.

"In the final stage of the human completion plan, nine mass-produced EVAs and the awakened No. 1 machine are used as triggers to trigger the third impact, allowing human beings to return to Lilith's embrace, thereby achieving the eternal life of all human beings." Winter Month added.

"But, what can they get?" Misato clutched the cross her father left her. "Everyone is dead..."

"Probably because of the satisfaction of the sense of mission..." Dongyue was not very sure. "The Dead Sea Documents revealed the birth of human beings. It seems that they believed that the birth of human beings was born with original sin. The birth of human beings deprived Lilith of half of her life. Only when all human beings return can human beings wash away the original sin and restore Lilith. .”

"Pull" Lilith displayed a word on the TV next to the conference table.

"I made humans because I found that I couldn't fight, okay? I need help. But I'm ecstatic that you created EVA." After Lilith's consciousness was able to leave her body, she has been cooperating with NERV. "With EVA, I see hope against my Creator civilization."

"Ring, ring, ring..." The phone on Lao Ding's desk rang suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"Excuse me, an unknown object suddenly appeared in the sky above Lake Ashi. It is judged to be an apostle. But the spectral analysis is jumping between blue and yellow." Hinata's voice came from the phone.

"I see, I'll go right away." Lao Ding hung up the phone.

"The apostles are coming."

Ian, Misato and Ritsuko let out a long sigh, the attack time is getting closer and closer.

"I seem to feel the malice of the world, I just don't want us to have a good rest."

Hanging the water until more than 4 o'clock... I am also convinced that the phone ran out of battery in the middle of writing...
