Chapter 57: Contradictory Humanity
Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 57
"I really didn't expect that one day Magi would become an enemy."
Ritsuko listened to Ikari Gendo's words, her body trembled, and she was silent
……………………
Conference Room No. 1 of the NERV Operations Department
A rectangular conference table in the center of the room is surrounded by NERV's core management figures and senior technical staff
"First of all, it can be assumed that they are smiling machines, apostles the size of mechanical bacteria, gathered from their individuals into groups," Ritsuko said, pointing to the data analysis on the table
"They are constantly evolving, simulating systems that can correspond to any situation"
On the other side of the conference table stood Ikari Gentang, Fuyutsuki, and Ikari Hong, and at this time, Fuyutsuki hugged his arms and said in a deep voice, "It's like a system for living creatures to survive."
Misato looked at the table and said to herself: "To deal with the weakness that can overcome itself, the most effective way is to continue to evolve the goal, and the only effective way is to die..."
Magi is all gone..."
Misato straightened her back and said in a condensed voice, "I propose to physically destroy Magi"
Ritsuko decisively vetoed: "It won't work!" To destroy Magi is to abandon the headquarters."
Misato's attitude was equally resolute, and he said coldly without thinking: "Then! I will formally make a request to the War Department"
Ritsuko looked at Misato coldly and said, "I refuse!" This matter should be solved by the technical department! ”
"What are you stubborn?!" Mei looked at Ritsuko with a sullen look
The two women glared at each other, neither willing to take a step back
After a long time, Ritsuko, who was relatively mature, lowered his head and said gloomily: "This is caused by my negligence."
Misato was stunned when she heard this, and then her anger disappeared, and she said softly: "You used to be like this, always taking all the responsibility alone, and completely distrusting others"
Ritsuko frowned, thought for a long time, and then said confidently: "If the apostle continues to evolve, I have a chance to win."
After hearing Ritsuko's words, Ikari Gendo, who had been silent, asked lightly, "Do you want to promote its evolution?" ”
"Yes"
Ikari Hong, who was standing next to Ikari Gentang and Fuyutsuki, said loudly, "Is the end of evolution death?" ”
Ritsuko snorted
Dongyue nodded: "Then it's up to us to promote its evolution."
Ritsuko continued, "If the apostle were thinking of effectively avoiding death, he might choose to live in symbiosis with Magi."
Hinata couldn't help but ask, "But... How? ”
Ritsuko gave him a faint look and explained, "If the target is a computer, we can make the gasper connect directly with the apostle, and then we can reverse design it to input the self-destruction facilitator into it."
Ikari Yuantang said in a deep voice: "Look at the gasper or the apostle, do you want to use this to decide the winner?" ”
Ritsuko nodded: "Yes"
Misato asked incredulously, "That program will come in time, right?" ”
Ritsuko glanced at Misato, and then at Ikari Hong, who didn't say much, and said firmly:
"I'll keep my promise..."
…………………
"R-level alert is issued now, R-level alert is issued now, there is an emergency situation at the NERV headquarters, please evacuate all emergency duty personnel"
For fear of causing further panic, and having told the Committee that there were no apostles coming, the only way to do this is to issue an R-class alert to allow some spies and unrelated personnel who may have been planted by the government to retreat for the time being
Ritsuko pressed a very hidden switch, only to see the rusty main chassis of the supercomputer Magi slowly rise
Ritsuko opened the door of the case, and her eyes were complicated, and the space full of post-it notes was there, and she muttered, "Mother..."
Ikari stepped forward and patted Ritsuko on the shoulder as if comforting
Maya and Misato looked at the cluttered space inside the case with curiosity, and Maya asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Ritsuko nodded at Ikari Hong, signaling that she was okay, and then took a larger pair of glasses and went straight inside
Ritsuko pouted at the post-it notes that were plastered throughout the space: "This is a scribble pranked by the developers"
Maya dragged one down casually, and after carefully reading the content on it, she exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's a password, it's just a collection of Magi stunts."
Maya took a note and said in surprise: "Ha~ Can you really see these?" Yes! Big surprise, this is your c, with this, the program can run much faster! Predecessor! ”
Ritsuko turned her head and nodded with a smile
Thank you, Mom, for that really came in handy
……………………
Just when Ritsuko and her little follower Maya were busy preparing for the final showdown with the apostle
Ikari Hong took Li's hand and came to Ikari Gendo and Dongyue's side, quietly silent
The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time, and Ikari Yuantang glanced at the young girl who was standing quietly beside him with his spare eyes, and said lightly: "Why, don't you go to help Ritsuko, why are you standing here?"
Ikari came back to his senses and chuckled: "It's enough to have Misato and Ritsuko, to be honest, I don't have a good impression of the magi created by Dr. Naoko"
Ikari Gendo frowned, although several people seemed calm on the surface at this time, but the doubts and uneasiness in their hearts did not diminish in the slightest, after all, if Ritsuko failed, then the entire nerv would face the end of self-destruction
Ikari Hong thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any good solution to the problem, if the ending really ended up on the worst side, he could only save the lives of a few people with his own ability
"Alas... I obviously have such a great ability, but every time I seem so helpless, it's really not powerful..."
…………………
Misato half-crouched inside Magi's main chassis, looking at Ritsuko and Maya, who were busy, and could only hold her knees in a daze
After the previous meeting ended, Ikari didn't mean to come over to help, and his intuition told Misato that he seemed to be disgusted with Magi
Misato thought about what Ikari Hiroshi said to Ritsuko before, as the so-called 'pre-war mobilization' of the deputy director of the War Department, it has nothing to do with pride and anger, it has nothing to do with anger, just a simple sentence:
I believe you
……………
Ritsuko unloaded one of the parts and handed it to Misato, who set it aside with blank eyes and continued to hold her legs in a daze
"Wrench for me"
Misato searched around, handed the wrench to Ritsuko, listened to Ritsuko keep hearing the sound of the wrench pulling the machine, smiled softly, and sighed, "It reminds me of my time in college."
Ritsuko ignored it, stretched out her hand again and said, "Substrate 25"
Misato didn't care, and after handing the No. 25 substrate to Ritsuko, she honestly looked at Ritsuko, who was busy, and continued to whisper, "Tell me something about Magi..."
Ritsuko asked lightly as she moved a large part down, "Do you know about personality transplant OS?" ”
Misato nodded and replied, "It's a system that implants one's personality into the seventh-generation organic computer to make him think, and this technology is also used in the operation of Eva, and Magi seems to be the number one of this system."
Ritsuko was busy fiddling with the mechanical parts and said, "It's my mom's technology."
Misato suddenly said, "So, that's a transplant of your mother's personality?" ”
"Not bad"
Ritsuko uses a chainsaw to cut open a core that resembles a skull, and looks at the wires inside as they are entangled, just like a human brain
Ritsuko laughed self-deprecatingly: "Speaking of which, this thing is the same as my mother's head"
Misato said as if talking to herself, "That's why you want to protect Magi."
Ritsuko thought about her mother's life and now that she had an indescribable affection for a man at the same time, and she was shameless about that man's son... Thinking of this, Ritsuko couldn't help but sigh secretly
"I don't think so, because I don't like my mom that much, that's a judgement made as a scientist."
…………………
In the main control room at this time, Shinji and Asuka were standing together, and the whole space was full of alarms, and because there was no EVA, neither of them knew what to do
Ikari Hong and Li were still standing quietly behind Ikari Gentang, Dongyue with her hands behind her back, and the four of them seemed to be out of the way to the grim situation they were currently experiencing, and treated them indifferently
"Not good!" Hinata shouted in a panic
I saw that the Apostle had broken through the second Magi defense line and restored the rapid invasion speed before, and it was about to erode the only system
Ikari Hong held Li's hand and inadvertently tightened, and Ayanami Li frowned painfully, but she was quiet and sensible, she didn't cry out in pain, and even deliberately tried to make her expression look natural
Ikari Hong reacted, looked at Li with emotion and apology, and then turned his head to look at the two commanders who still had no change in face, and couldn't help but sigh at the momentum of the two
"Hong, why don't you take Li and Shinji directly with them now, with your ability, it should be in time" Dongyue has been very proud of the eldest son of Ikari Gentang since he was a child, and at this time he said to Ikari Hong with a peaceful face
"The Apostles have taken the magi! There are 20 seconds left before the self-detonation! ”
Ikari Hong shook his head and said with a forced smile: "Teacher, you see, no matter how powerful I am, it is impossible for me to leave in 20 seconds, but I still believe that Ritsuko can."
Knowing that time was running out, Ikari and Rei glanced at each other, and then at the two NERV chiefs next to them, who were as steady as Mount Tai
"Dad..."Ikari called softly
Ikari Gentang glanced at Ikari Hong and nodded, as if everything was silent
"There are 10 seconds left before the self-detonation! 9 seconds! …”
"Li, are you afraid?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of, with you by my side, why should I be afraid..."Rei Ayanami held Ikari's hand, and the two rings touched together and made a crisp sound
What the two didn't know was that each other's inner thoughts were so similar
I'll keep you alive, Leigh
I'll keep you alive, Hong
…………………
"There are 5 seconds left until the explosion!"
Ritsuko quickly tapped on the computer keyboard connected to the program, and asked at the same time, "Maya! How's it going?" 4 seconds!
"It's done!" 3 seconds!
"Press it down!" 2 seconds!
"Yes!" 1 second!
0 sec...... Artificial intelligence judges, the self-explosion is lifted by itself, and at the same time, the 582 command is lifted, the system returns to normal rotation, the S unit is open, and the system will be ...... after 30 seconds.
Looking at the last fast blue area of the casper on the screen, and finally the entire red data area was restored to blue due to the completion of the program, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and immediately cheered
Ikari and Rei looked at each other and smiled, and the outcome of the matter was still on the good side
………………
Inside the main chassis, Ritsuko leaned on the ground covered in sweat and exhaled a long breath
Holding a tissue in one hand, she gently wiped the sweat that ran down Ritsuko's cheeks due to nervousness
"It's hard work... Ritsuko" Ikari came to Ritsuko's side and said softly
Ritsuko looked up, her mature and beautiful cheeks flushed slightly
………………
"R alarm dismissed! r alarm dismissed! All personnel are asked to go to the first state of alert! ”
Ritsuko sat back in her chair and said gently to Misato who came over, "I'm really old, I can't stay up all night."
Misato took two cups of coffee, handed Ritsuko one, and said with a gentle smile, "You have kept the agreement again, you have worked hard"
"Thank you" Ritsuko took a sip of the coffee, squinted her eyes and said, "This is the first time I think the coffee you brewed is so delicious"
Misato smirked
After Ritsuko saw that Ikari Hong was gone, she said lightly to Misato, "My mother told me the night before she died, and she said that Magi was her three selves."
"As a scientist, as a mother, and as a woman..."
Ritsuko muttered to herself, "She deliberately left behind the contradictions that humans have... Actually, I subtly rewrote the program."
Ritsuko smiled gloomily, "Because it's unlikely that I'm a mother, I don't understand my mother as a mother, but I respect her as a scientist."
Speaking of this, Ritsuko lowered her head and said softly, "But I hate her as a woman..."
Misato looked at Ritsuko with a smile and said softly, "That's a lot of talk today."
Ritsuko smiled: "Occasionally"
Then he got up and said to himself: "The model of being a woman is entered in the carper, and in the end she also maintains the fact that she is a woman."
It's really my mother's style
