"LCL injection is completed, neural connections are normal...Unit No. 3 is on standby, waiting for the start command."

Misato Katsuragi had returned to the command room at this time.

But at this time, Misato Katsuragi could be said to be worried.

Not only the United States, but also SELEE, NERV's parent organization, are all things that make Misato Katsuragi worried.

"Was the birth of EVA to save mankind... But why are there more intrigues like this now..."

There was no big problem with the startup of Unit 3. Misato Katsuragi believed that it should be a matter of course that Unit 3 was normal.

It is different from the original history.

Because the invasion of the apostles has not yet occurred in Unit 4, there are basically no precautions in this regard during the start-up test of Unit 3.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the No. 3 machine is not started for the first time.

"The synchronization rate remains at 76.33%...it's amazing!"

Just after it was started, the synchronization rate of Unit 3 had increased to this point. Ritsuko Akagi was already shocked at this time.

"How deep should the plug be inserted?"

"Normal position!"

The depth of insertion of the bolt is a very important part of EVA driving.

If the bolt is inserted too deep, the driver will blend into the LCL, and if it is inserted too shallow, it will not start.

However, actually speaking of "insertion plug depth" is not accurate.

Because the position of the insertion bolt is unchanged, the driver's seat in the insertion bolt is "suspended" in the insertion bolt, usually in the middle position. If it is forward, it is the core side of the EVA, and if it is farther back, it is the driver's side. The so-called

The depth actually mainly refers to the distance between the driver and the EVA core.

If the driver is too far forward, although the synchronization rate will be improved, the spirit will become more susceptible to the negative influence of EVA, which is the so-called mental pollution.

If this situation is serious, people may even fuse with EVA.

Hmm. That's right, it means someone in Unit 1.

"Catherine, how do you feel?"

When the system started normally, the communication on Katsuragi Misato's side was already connected.

"Very good, but the AT field cannot be deployed yet."

Catherine's battle suit is different from ordinary battle suits. Although it is also to help improve the synchronization rate, it is not complete.

The synchronization rate between Catherine and EVA needs to be "captured" by Catherine herself.

In the best state, Catherine can increase the synchronization rate to more than 200%. But this is not based on physical and mental, but based on control.

This is different from other EVA drivers.

"This is - the synchronization rate has begun to decrease... 70%... 65%... 60%..." Maya Ibuki, who had been monitoring the EVA situation, suddenly noticed the decline in the EVA synchronization rate.

"Major Edson, what happened?" Ritsuko Akagi asked immediately.

"Ah...it's nothing, I just went on a short errand."

The synchronization rate dropped to 49.98% before finally stopping.

This is a control based on the same principles as other EVA drivers. But at this time, the synchronization rate directly takes a big step backwards.

"...Okay. At least the situation is stable now, and the following plans can continue."

Ritsuko Akagi glanced at the synchronization rate that had stabilized. Now, the machine was stable.

As long as you can move, that's fine.

"Okay, let's start the action test."

"Yes...the plan has entered the third phase and begun to unlock the restraint device of EVA Unit 3."

"The restraints are released. Everything is normal on Unit 3."

The condition of EVA Unit 3 is better than others imagined.

"It seems that Unit 3 is in good condition now. That's great." Maya Ibuki sighed.

"Now is not the time to relax. The Americans have transformed EVA far beyond our expectations. No one knows if other situations will arise." Ritsuko Akagi said while taking out No. 3 again.

machine data files to observe.

Misato Katsuragi agrees with Maya Ibuki's statement that the current performance of Unit 3 is still very good.

On the testing ground, Catherine's every move was much better than the last time Shinji was beaten unilaterally.

After making observations and comparisons, Misato Katsuragi discovered that Americans’ high technology seems to be something they can’t build.

"--Um?"

Misato Katsuragi suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some strange things placed in the corner of the room that no one seemed to use.

"Ritsuko, what are those over there?"

she asked.

After Ritsuko Akagi turned his head and took a look, he replied: "That is the mobile office equipment sent by the Americans. Although it is prepared for Unit 3, it can be used in other situations. It's just that these things seem a bit complicated.

"

"Yeah?"

Misato Katsuragi walked over and picked up a piece of equipment.

This is a strange handheld screen. If you don’t know, you might just think it’s a glass plate, right? If you’re smarter, you might think it’s a disassembled laptop screen, right?

After pressing the only button on the side, the originally black screen turned on.

"It's a touch-sensitive computer!"

Is that so?

Yes, this is a tablet.

Because of the different development curves of the two worlds, although this world can be said to be in the "near future", to some extent, the technological level of this world is still open to question.

Just like it is now.

As for the tablet computer Misato Katsuragi has on hand, it is not so much a technology from this world as it is a hybrid product that was born after Catherine used technology from another world as a guide.

"Huh? It's very useful."

Because everything had been set up, Misato Katsuragi did a few controls and connected to the console. On the 9.7-inch small screen, rows of startup information for Unit 3 appeared on it, even more than

The large screen is clearer and clearer at a glance.

"It seems that the Americans have indeed spent a lot of effort on Unit 3."

"Since then, it's clear at a glance. Ritsuko, look here!"

Misato Katsuragi immediately handed the tablet to Ritsuko Akagi.

"This is... EVA's current information?"

Ritsuko Akagi didn't pay much attention to this thing at first. But now, after seeing the information on it, she immediately discovered that this machine seemed to be very good.

"I didn't expect that Americans do have their own tricks."

There seems to be a function for contacting the Internet, which seems very convenient.

Although this device may be a little inconvenient for professional use because it does not have a keyboard, it seems to be much more convenient for viewing such inquiries and doing work.

"After the test is over, I think it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of everything the Americans sent over." Finally, Ritsuko Akagi said.

…

The next day, the experiment continued.

But at this time, only Ritsuko Akagi stayed here, while Misato Katsuragi returned to the Third New Tokyo City.

After all, she is a commander, not a researcher. She came here when it was started. She found out the basic situation of Unit 3, and that was enough.

After that, Misato Katsuragi also followed Catherine's instructions and began to find some photos of recent American leaders, as well as some of their previous situations.

"What's your appearance..."

When comparing the second-term U.S. president with the one he had just taken office, Misato Katsuragi did not find much effective value.

But Katsuragi Misato did not think that Catherine was deceiving herself.

She simply sorted out the photos of this person in recent years and compared them.

"Um……?"

Finally, Misato Katsuragi discovered something.

In the photo taken more than a year ago, the president has obviously begun to age.

However, recently, Misato Katsuragi seemed to have discovered that this person seemed to be regaining her vitality just like before.

"Rejuvenation... is it true or false?"

She was a little surprised.

However, these small details can help solve the case, but they cannot actually be said to be evidence.

She needs something more, something deeper.

Misato Katsuragi continued to search for other situations.

"..."

But the further she looked down, Misato Katsuragi found that something seemed to be getting more and more wrong with the situation.

"If I'm talking about one thing, it might be due to the makeup and the angle of the photo, but if everyone is like this...isn't this weird?"

Misato Katsuragi was very surprised.

It seems that if you want to continue to find the problem, you can only continue to investigate.

But... what happens behind this?

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have been involved in a whirlpool. Even she didn't know what would happen in this whirlpool.

...Misato Katsuragi was a little scared at this time.

"Why is this happening?"

What exactly is that thing called alternating protein?

Misato Katsuragi opened Penpen's cabin and looked at the thermal capsule inside.

This capsule was very well preserved, but Misato Katsuragi couldn't see what was inside.

"Should I tell NERV?"

As a member of NERV, Misato Katsuragi felt that she should do this, but out of caution for NERV or SELEE, Misato Katsuragi was hesitant at the moment.

In the past few days, while she was responsible for training Shinji, she was thinking about and having a headache at the same time.

However, Katsuragi Misato's hesitation did not last long.

This is not because the problem has been solved, but because... the fifth apostle has come.

The entire buildings in the Third New Tokyo City have begun to be contained, and Katsuragi Misato also came to the central control room.

"Where is Unit 3 now?"

When we first arrived here, the surrounding atmosphere was already very tense. The conventional weapons on the outermost perimeter were already in operation at this moment.

"Unit No. 3 is currently at the Matsushiro Experimental Ground and is in contact with there." The monitor replied.

"It seems that the situation is a little unlucky. Unit 3 has just been packed and ready to be transported back to the base, and now something like this happened." Ritsuko Akagi also just returned here.

The testing time in Laboratory No. 3 took a little longer because of the application of new materials, so NERV did some research in this area.

The apostle happened to be stuck at this point, which I have to say is a bit discouraging.

"It seems that the apostle has seized the opportunity. Can we only look forward to Unit 1 now?" Dongyue said next to Commander Ikari.

"The relationship between the apostles and human beings is mortal enemies. It is normal for them to come over any time. Now that the No. 1 machine can move... it is enough."

Ikari Yuandu's voice was still as calm as ever.

"The apostles will never give us humans enough time to prepare. Let's wait until Japan sends a notice and let Unit 1 attack."

Now those people still have not given up on using conventional weapons. At this time, they are still considering using conventional weapons to fight.

"The pilot of Unit 1 is already in place!"

On the other side, Misato Katsuragi also received the news.

"Although we only have Unit 1 now, it's pretty good now."

Misato Katsuragi can only think like this now.

It's just... Shinji Ikari's recent state seems to be not very good, which makes Katsuragi Misato a little confused.

"Damn it, I spent all my time checking information, and I didn't even have time to find out about Shinji's status..."

In fact, the one who is hateful must be Catherine, who disrupted all her plans from the moment she came out.

Misato Katsuragi even forgot her original intention of taking in Shinji Ikari, and only focused on searching for those American gays one by one.

"Ms. Misato, the contact sent back from Matsushiro is that he is the pilot of Unit 3!"

Catherine?

"Take it over!"

"yes!"

Soon, Catherine's avatar and voice appeared on the big screen: "Miss Misato, I have a proposal regarding Unit 3."

"What?"

"There is only Unit 1 over there, right? The last time Unit 1 went berserk, it defeated the apostles, but that was just a fluke..."

In other words, it is impossible to guess what kind of result Shinji will have now.

"I believe Shinji."

Although Misato Katsuragi wanted to say this, it didn't seem to be the case.

"Tell me about your plan."

"Um……"

At this time, on the other side, Shinji Ikari's Unit 1 was ready.

It's just that Shinji Ikari's current condition doesn't seem to be very good.

For Shinji, it was not so much that Toji Suzuhara's punch that made him depressed, but rather that his father's attitude made him so silent.

Shinji wanted to get his father's recognition, but his father just asked him to open EVA.

"Are my hands shaking..."

In the end, Shinji kept recalling and reciting the words he said during training, but his mind went blank.

"Shinji, communication from Catherine."

"Um……?"
