Chapter 131: Next-Gen Equipment
"Thunder, a super weapon secretly developed by the Weapons Development Department, weighs 3,000 tons, has a 100,000-horsepower turbojet engine, and can adapt to a variety of battlefield environments on land, sea and air. The www.biquge.info can run, climb mountains, fly, dive, and carry fuel and life-sustaining equipment at a time, which can allow the driver to continue fighting for 7 days. ”
Musashi stood in front of two steel behemoths more than 70 meters tall and muttered to himself.
Thunder resembles a giant mechanical dinosaur with a long tail flanked by engines and huge cannon barrels.
It is also equipped with a variety of advanced detection devices, including microwaves, radar, sonar and lasers.
Keita behind him also looked amazed, "Musashi, it's hard to relax tonight, it's a good opportunity!"
"That's right, let's get started. ”
The two had trained on the simulator hundreds of times, and due to the technical validation stage, the cockpit of the airframe was flawed, and the high-intensity training often brought pain and injury.
So, the two put on the exoskeleton armor-style pilot's suit and boarded the cockpit located on the belly of the aircraft.
Then, various automata in the hangar were activated, loading various types of ammunition into the mech.
"Fuel, ammunition, food, and water have been loaded!" Keita's trembling voice came from Musashi's headset, perhaps because he was too nervous.
"Let's go!"
A gate on the side of the base hill suddenly opened, and a shrill siren sounded, and the entire base boiled.
With the roar of the engines, two Steel Godzillas slowly drove out of the gate, and the automatic guns on the side of the mountain immediately aimed and fired.
However, the outer armor made of super composite materials was so strong that it could not produce effective damage, and it was stumped flat after only a few shots.
Then the two Thunderbolts started the turbojet engines and flew away, leaving only two white plumes of smoke.
"Keita, let's find a place to lurk first, and avoid the military's tracking first. "Musashi Michi.
"Which place is suitable?"
"Go to Lake Ashi in Hakone and follow me to kill that kid. ”
"Are you really going to kill someone?"
They grew up in a military camp, and although they were usually ruthless, they never considered killing.
"His real name was bullied like that, even if he didn't kill him, he would be crippled for the rest of his life and couldn't get out of bed. ”
"Okay. ”
"Fly close to the ground and make a detour in the ravine to avoid being detected by radar. ”
"It's all up to you. ”
Under the cover of night, the two steel mechs managed to escape and quietly infiltrated the Lake Ashi to hide.
The probe on NERV's side also found some movement, but the staff couldn't do anything after investigation, thinking it was a passing aircraft.
Because Musashi hid in the mud after hiding underwater, and turned off all equipment except for life support, they were in a silent state, so it was difficult to detect.
"What? Musashi and Keita defected in the Thunder?" said his real name, opening his mouth.
When she and Risa got the news, the two had already fled, and no news was revealed beforehand, without warning.
"They actually ...... Leave me ......," Risa muttered as she clenched her fists.
"Risa, do you know anything?" said Mama as she stepped forward and put her arm on Risa's shoulder.
"I didn't ...... Nope!"
"Look me in the eye and say!"
"Not really!"
You know, there's a little habit of holding something tightly with your right hand when you lie. ”
When Risa heard this, she quickly let go of her hand that was clutching her pants, lowered her head and whispered, "I...... I just told Musashi about you being bullied, but I didn't expect it...... Real name, I'm sorry!"
"Why are you so ......" Real name paused for a moment before scolding: "You idiot!"
"No, I'm going to stop them......" Risa said, and she was about to run out.
"Stop!" "Stop!" her real name quickly grabbed her and said sharply, "Now that the whole camp is under martial law, where can you go?" and if the higher authorities know that you have something to do with their defection, you may go to court-martial, or at the least, be expelled from the ranks. ”
Risa's face turned white with fright after hearing this, so she would never see her real name again.
"That'...... What should we do?"
"Find a way to contact them secretly first, and it is best to persuade them to come back and confess, so that the punishment can be reduced. Don't blame yourself too much, they had a plan to escape a long time ago, they just didn't make up their minds, I always thought they were joking. ”
……
In the Central Hospital, Shinji was beaten by Asuka on a horse, and only then did he force him to delete the film he had filmed in front of him, and he had to swear that he would not keep the copy, so he was let go.
The next day, the three pilots received a notice from headquarters to participate in an experiment with new equipment.
"It's going to be a test again, can I not go, I'm still a little uncomfortable today. ”
Asuka covered her forehead, looking sickly.
"Alright then, you'll rest at home. In fact, today is the new equipment test of the zero machine, and you can participate in it next time. Misato said.
So Shinji went out with Misato.
Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, the real reason why she didn't want to go was that she was afraid to see Ayana, and now she wants to die when she thinks of yesterday's misery, and she still doesn't dare to face Ayana.
Shinji guessed a little, but he didn't say anything, saving some face for Asuka.
In the Misato car, Shinji pondered for a while, but then spoke: "That...... Katsuragi, the apostle has so much vitality, if it can be used by me......"
As soon as she heard this, Misato's anger came again.
"Don't talk to me while driving, it's not safe. She said with a stiff face.
"Aren't you a racer?"
"I'm annoyed when I hear your voice, don't bother me. ”
“……”
Seeing Misato's anger still unsubsided, Shinji didn't want to touch his head, so he quickly shut up.
When he arrived at the headquarters, Ayanami had already come out in the zero machine.
"Wow, this is the new equipment?" Shinji excited.
At this time, the zero machine has changed a lot, and the armor on its body has become angular and angular, and it looks a little thick, not as round as before, but it looks more powerful.
The biggest change is that there is a huge plug-in device behind it, and there are many pipelines connected to it.
"Is this the new equipment? Ritsuko-san. Shinji asked.
"That's right, this is EVA's next-generation equipment, the result of the AT Force Field Experimental Machine Project, the prototype of the Zero Unit 2 Modification Domain Control Machine. The first to develop the version of the zero machine is, first, easy to carry out technical verification, and second, out of the need to enhance combat effectiveness. Ritsuko said.
"I'm sorry, Ikati-kun, I've dragged you down. "Ayaami Road.
Her tone was a little lost at the thought of her combat performance.
"Don't say that, Ayana. You're already great!"
Compared with the first machine with explosive combat power and various skills, as well as the second machine that awakened in advance, the zero machine that has not changed much is indeed the shortcoming of the three-person team.
It's not that the zero machine is too weak, but the combat power of the first and second machines has increased, so it seems that Ayanami is always playing soy sauce.
Perhaps it was with this in mind that the zero machine was upgraded in advance.
After all, Lao Ikari didn't want something to happen to Ayana. (To be continued.) )
