Anti-invasion of the heavens: water drops hit the face at the beginning

Chapter 212 Looking forward to the day when we take action

"ah?"

Shinji was caught off guard, not expecting his father to say such ridiculous things to him.

He wanted to refute and scold his father, how could he make such a joke on his deceased mother.

However, seeing Ikari Gendo showing no emotion at all, looking at himself with the same cold gaze as he looked at his other subordinates, Ikari Shinji subconsciously flinched.

After swallowing what he said, he couldn't help but feel confused.

Although from a logical and emotional point of view, Shinji Ikari is unwilling to believe such absurd statements.

But my father doesn’t seem like someone who can joke...

"So, what is going on?" Shinji Ikari asked Ikari Gentang with great confusion and a little bit of undetectable anger.

Even Chen Guang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ikari Gendo, a dog-riddler, to actually tell Shinji this.

But really speaking, there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, humans now have powerful weapons like Ultraman, and even the apostles are no match for them.

That is a terrifying existence that can directly crush the AT force field with the pressure of its arms.

Putting aside where Ultraman's energy comes from, just talking about the material of his arms, the density is probably far higher than any known material on earth.

That day, Ikari Yuantang was sitting in the office without saying a word and remained silent for nearly two hours.

As someone who understands the Dead Sea Script and Adam Lilith and other creation myths, coupled with Ikari Gendo's own knowledge of physics, he can almost conclude that Ultraman is definitely not a fighting mech that humans can develop on their own.

It must be like the Adam clone in EVA, and the raw materials used to make it are also products of gods.

But there is no record of anything about Ultraman in the Dead Sea Documents.

Either, it is a miracle belonging to mankind that even the Dead Sea Script could not predict. Or, Ultraman's appearance and name are just a deception...

Could it be that He was actually an apostle?

After all, the Dead Sea Documents did not provide a detailed description of each apostle, only the number and the approximate time of their arrival.

If that were the case, the situation would be dire.

Because one of the conditions for mankind to complete the plan is to defeat all the apostles who want to take away the fruit of human wisdom, and in turn take away the fruit of life from the apostles. Only in this way can the fruit of life and the fruit of wisdom be integrated, and human beings can become gods.

qualifications.

And the difficulty of defeating Ultraman... has far exceeded Ikari Gendo's original plan for EVA.

Even if Unit-01 goes berserk, whether it can defeat Ultraman is still unknown and not worthy of optimism.

Fortunately, Ultraman does not have an AT field, so it is not necessarily the worst possibility.

In addition to defeating all the apostles, Unit-01 is also an indispensable part of the final ceremony of becoming a god. After all, the soul of Ikari Wei in Unit-01 is the purpose of all the actions of Ikari Yuantang.

But the problem now is...precisely because he needs Unit-1 with Ikari Yui's soul, he needs Ikari Shinji.

During this period of time, while Shinji Ikari was experiencing the beautiful life in the city, Yuantang Ikari had been trying to find ways to drive Unit 1 again. But even Ling Boli, who was able to drive Unit 1 to a certain extent, was now unable to drive Unit 1.

Machine is on.

Ever since Shinji Ikari piloted Unit-1, the soul of his wife inside has not recognized any pilot except Shinji, and forcing it to drive will only cause it to go berserk.

"Your mother is one of the engineers who designed EVA... and is also the most important core backbone."

Ikari Yuantang looked at his son and finally talked about the other person's mother, which was rare.

"When designing EVA, the driver was actually not considered. Such a high-intensity battle can be remotely commanded and controlled using a connected computer."

Shinji Ikari listened quietly. Although his father was talking about business matters, he suddenly realized that he had never had such a rare moment of communication between father and son.

Some are novel, some are sad, and some are cherished.

No matter how bad his father's attitude towards him was, Shinji Ikari still had the extravagant hope of getting attention and care from Ikari Yuantang.

"But it is a pity that EVA was never able to carry out detailed operations at that time. It was just a puppet on strings and had no combat effectiveness at all."

"Then...an accident happened."

Ikari Yuantang's words were concise and concise. What the accident was was also briefly mentioned. He only said the most critical part: "The accident finally took away your mother... but her soul was in an unknown form.

The machine and phase merged. From then on, EVA had a soul and became what it is now."

"Mom, are you really in Unit 1?"

After hearing his father's words, Shinji Ikari felt dazed, as absurd as a dream.

But at the same time, he also heard a rare fluctuation in his father's words that were trying to be cold.

The fluctuation was very subtle, but in the tone of Ikari Yuantang, a person who always had no waves, it seemed particularly eye-catching.

Regret and sorrow have long since settled in, and have penetrated deeply into Ikari Yuantang's daily words. But when we actually talked about Ikari Wei, a trace of nostalgia and nostalgia was revealed that was different from the past.

It turns out that my father also has emotions?

It was hard for Shinji Ikari to say whether it was the content of his father's words or the emotions revealed that shocked him.

————

In the end, Shinji Ikari believed what Yuantang said.

So for the first time, Shinji Ikari re-boarded the cockpit of Unit 1 without any combat or training missions.

This time there is no need to train or fight, but just to experience the indescribable panic and expectation in my heart.

The panic is true, my mother was really made into a giant battle robot.

I hope this is true, that my mother is really alive and fighting alongside me.

With the purpose of meeting his mother again, Shinji Ikari boarded Unit 1 again and allowed himself and his lungs to be completely immersed in LCL.

The long-awaited beginning of synchronization.

And at the moment when the synchronization started, the first second when the soul was connected to Unit-00, that familiar sense of security, the feeling that he had ignored in the fight and resistance, Shinji Ikari found that they were so clear.

and grand.

Because they were so clear, Shinji Ikari mistook them for normalcy, and mistakenly thought they were the feeling brought to him by a warm liquid like LCL.

Wrong, dead wrong...

It was obviously the warmth of mother's embrace.

In fact, Shinji Ikari even wanted to say that it was a sense of security as if he had returned to the amniotic fluid.

"Why...do I seem to cry every time I enter this cockpit?"

Tears melted into the LCL liquid, Unit 1 slowly raised its arms and hugged itself.

This login was based on the permission of Commander-in-Chief Ikari Yuantang. This login was not recorded and there were less than three bystanders.

They are Ritsuko Akagi, Kozo Fuyutsuki and Gendo Ikari.

"Synchronization rate...98%?!"

The blond-haired researcher, Ritsuko Akagi, looked at the data and said in disbelief.

You know, when Shinji Ikari boarded Unit-001 for the first time, the synchronization rate was just over 40%. The higher the synchronization rate, the smoother the EVA's movements will be, the better the coordination, and the greater the combat effectiveness of the giant humanoid.

Give full play to it.

Ritsuko Akagi looked at Ikari Gendo from above with some disbelief, wondering what the two father and son were talking about that could actually increase Shinji's synchronization rate so much at once.

Compared to Ritsuko Akagi, who knew little about the matter, Kozo Fuyutsuki, who was standing behind Gendo Ikari, had the same understanding of Unit 1 as Gendo Ikari.

But unlike Ikari Yuantang, who only frowned slightly when he saw this scene, Fuyuki Kozo couldn't help but the corners of his eyes were moist.

"Wei..." Dongyue Gengzao murmured in a low voice unconsciously, and then realized that he had lost his composure, suppressed his emotions, and said nothing.

Ikari Yuantang didn't care that his old partner was out of control, but secretly thought in his heart: In this case... there is still the problem of the Longinus Gun that needs to be solved.

If you want Unit 1 to become a god, you cannot let the genuine Gun of Longinus participate in the final ritual. You need to find a way to remove it from Lilith, preferably by throwing it into outer space.

In order to achieve this goal, NERV's combat effectiveness must be improved, and the important work of destroying the apostles must not be taken away by Ultraman of the World Forge Organization.

Or... think in reverse and reduce Ultraman's combat effectiveness...

In the case of the former, the synchronization rate of Unit 1 has increased, and Unit 2 has already defeated the Fish Angels together with the fleet when heading to Tokyo. Both its actual combat effectiveness and its right to speak have improved, and there is nothing that can be done for the time being.

And the latter... he needs intelligence and spies.

However, the World Forge Organization is too mysterious and doesn't look like a large organization at all. The only people on the surface are the man named Chen Guang and Ultraman's driver Carl.

Ikari Yuantang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Maybe, we can start with the kid named Carl...

No matter how powerful the machine is, the pilot is still just a mortal.

Chen Guang, who was drinking juice and basking in the sun far away in Hawaii, had a panoramic view of everything and showed an expectant smile.

"Okay, let's focus on Carl."

Talking to himself, he took a sip of juice and chuckled: "I look forward to the day when you guys really do it..."

————

Another foreign student came to the school.

However, this time it was an orange-haired beauty from Germany. Even though the students were almost used to seeing Carl and Bruce, they couldn't help but start a commotion again.

After all, although Carl and Bruce have foreign faces, they still have black hair and eyes, and they are still boys. Of course, they are not as popular as beauties with dazzling hair colors.

As soon as Asuka arrived in the class, she glanced around the teachers and walked directly in front of Karl without waiting for the teacher to introduce her.

Carl was flipping through a book boredly when he noticed someone approaching. He raised his head and saw Asuka saying with arrogance: "Well, you are the driver of Ultraman, right? It does seem to be quite reliable..."

"Huh?"

This sound was not made by Karl, but by the classmate sitting next to him.

After a few seconds of silence, the whole classroom seemed to explode.

"Wait, wait, wait?!" Kensuke Aida, who was wearing glasses, was the first to rush between the two of them and said loudly with an incredulous look on his face: "Karl, are you the driver of Ultraman? That Ultraman!?

That silver giant?!"

Before he could finish his words, another classmate grabbed his face and pulled him behind him. Another male classmate said excitedly: "Really?! Were you really the one driving that silver giant? You're too powerful, right?

!So strong!”

In the middle of the yelling, another face came in, it was still a boy, his eyes widened: "So you have been saving the world?! You guy, you can actually hide it for so long! This is so strong!"

Although Ultraman's matter was not announced to the public when he solved the first apostle.

But no matter how much the official conceals this kind of scene of a battle between two giant creatures that are tens of meters tall, there will still be a guy like Aida Kensuke in the original novel who holds a camera and sneaks out of the shelter without fear of death.

After all, images like that are very valuable.

Although Chen Guang controlled Seele to control the news, he only did this. He was too lazy to control the spontaneous behavior of the people.

Therefore, the picture of the silver giant protecting human beings gradually spread and became widely known.

Later, some people working at NERV revealed the name "Ultraman".

When Asuka first arrived, she originally enjoyed the feeling of being in public. But she didn't expect that after she greeted the Ultraman pilot for the first time, other people's attention was completely taken away by him, and Asuka suddenly became a little unhappy.

She was unhappy, and she warned herself in her heart: Asuka, you are no longer a child, you need to be more mature.

Therefore, he just held his hands and snorted, and did not move forward to continue the communication when Karl was surrounded like this.

Only then did she notice the only classmate who didn't get close to her.

He didn't seem to have a very high presence at first, and it was only when he didn't take action that he was exposed and Asuka noticed him.

"You are..." But seeing this boy's face, Asuka still felt a little familiar.

Shinji also noticed Asuka. Amidst the noise, he shyly raised his hand and said hello: "Hello, Asuka-san..."

"Well, hello." Asuka just nodded, still recalling where she had seen the other person before.

Fortunately, the memory point is not far away, not long ago...

"Wait a minute, you seem to be the pilot of Unit 1, which has only one victory?"

Asuka finally remembered, but she couldn't help it. His photo was shown to her with Carl. With the handsome Carl next to him attracting attention, even Asuka's good mind couldn't remember the ordinary photo of Shinji.

face.

"Ah?" Shinji was also stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would reveal his identity in one word.

Fortunately, the other students were busy surrounding Carl, while the teacher didn't care about the chaos in the classroom and started lecturing on his own to earn his salary, completely indifferent to the behavior of the students in the classroom.

After all, he also knew that the main job of the students in this classroom was not to learn knowledge... so he was too lazy to worry about their future.

It’s not certain whether humanity has a future.

In such a strange environment, Asuka put one hand on her hips and one hand on her chest, and said proudly: "As the pilot of Unit 1, haven't you heard? The sixth apostle who recently invaded, but

I piloted the No. 2 unit, and I was able to defeat it without any injuries!"

"Two...unit two?"

Different from the original work, Shinji, who did not accept his identity as a pilot, was not invited to welcome the arrival of Unit 2. Therefore, he did not defeat the Fish Angel in the cockpit of Unit 2 with Asuka, which was one less apostle.

Number of kills.

Sitting in the corner, Bruce is still reading cutting-edge scientific and technological papers belonging to the EVA world in 2015.

The reason why he stayed in the EVA world was certainly not because like Carl, he changed from driving a giant robot to wanting to save everything and reverse tragedy.

Bruce discovered that the scientific paths in different worlds were completely different. In some aspects, the technology here was far ahead of the United States in 1980. He couldn't wait to learn more new knowledge.

After returning to his own universe, he... maybe he can really build his own mecha?

Of course, since he doesn't need to face huge monsters, Bruce doesn't plan to build something as big as a hunter mecha. To be honest, he's tired of driving super giant robots.

Now Bruce wants to build a personal mecha that can be worn at any time, preferably one that can fly and be equipped with artificial intelligence to assist operations.

Well, if you want to fly, you can use the palms of your limbs as propulsion power launch ports? It seems good, and the control direction is flexible and intuitive.

It's just that the energy problem is not easy to solve, and there has been no breakthrough in this regard either in the Pacific Rim world or the EVA world.

So Bruce's initial idea is... to use the Hunter mecha as a prototype, first miniaturize the nuclear reactor, and then install it on the chest of the mecha.

Sorry, the updates have been too unstable recently. It's mainly because I'm used to typing at night. As a result, I can't keep up with the pace of staying up late after getting sick. I feel very sleepy every time I write a little bit at night.

Now I feel like I've adjusted, and I'll resume updating from today.
