"If this is the kingdom of heaven, let me be immersed here forever......" Ibuki slipped the document in his hand and watched as two "Ritsuko Akagi" with different hair colors passed by the passage ahead.

"Am I dazzled...... Misato who came back to work on her work rubbed her eyes, and always felt that two Ayanami Rei had just walked by.

Dongyue used the authority in his hand to make a permission letter for the three of them at the speed of light, identity ID, fake experience, etc. The next day, the three of them rejoined the technical department of the NERV headquarters.

"Won't it be a little too fast?" Dongyue felt that it was a bit bad for the newly resurrected person to start working directly.

"We've wasted so many years, and now that we have the opportunity to start over, we don't want to waste a minute." Wearing the same black half-step skirt with a light blue shirt and a white coat, today's son and the two sisters who were pulled out of the EVA next to him stood in front of the computer in the research room, bowing their heads and deducing the data.

The three of them have not left the door of the research room since they returned to the headquarters yesterday.

In the past ten years, although the top technology that each has mastered is still the top, the other technologies have improved too much. The three of them forgot to sleep and eat to absorb the new technology to improve the ideas that were limited by the technology of the year.

Ibuki and Ritsuko only followed until about nine o'clock in the evening, and they were hollowed out by three people, and they left the technical department with vain steps.

"Senior...... Were the people of that era so terrible......"

"No...... Mom, although she was a cut better than me before, she could still see the upper limit, but now she ...... Her learning ability has exceeded the upper limit of my judgment back then, and this is still the upper limit after I have been beautifying her in my brain for several years. Ritsuko shuddered and lit a cigarette. The joy of his mother's resurrection was consumed in a short but slowly slow five-hour question-and-answer session. "There must be something going on in between that I don't know about."

"You were asked by your mother about a nervous breakdown?" Ian stopped what he was doing.

"It's not just her, it's the understanding of the other two. My memory and other things are far beyond my comprehension. ”

"Is it so much ......?"

“？？”

"The latest generation of enhanced nanobots. They were the first to be used besides us. It is a surprise to improve the strength of the body and reflex nerves, as for the improvement of memory and comprehension. Ian swiped the screen and called up the data of the three nanobots in the human body.

"I see...... Is there a better energy supply and heat dissipation provided by nanobots to bring about greater brain utilization......"

"Huh? Is the body strengthened? ”

"Employee benefits, the three of them are currently working at NERV, and they will be in my side of the organization after the apostolic crisis is resolved. Before my investment takes effect. Make sure that these three don't die because of strange accidents. ”

"Strange accidents?"

"Disease, car accidents, terrorist attacks, and so on."

“…… And at what cost? ”

"It's all ... No, what do you mean? ”

"I feel like I'm going to be driven crazy by them if I don't get another shot. If the price is bearable, I will sign you too. ”

"So casual?"

"It doesn't matter... And do you think it's interesting for me to stay at NERV? Tool man or something, it's enough to be a once. ”

"This is a contract, you think about it." The employment contract of the scientific researcher is issued to Ritsuko. "Ten years is not a short time."

“… Ten-year system? ”

"Originally, I wanted to do it for a hundred years, but I took into account the ethics of ordinary people. It's useless for the time being. Of course, there is also a cooperative system, but you don't enjoy our tentative benefits. ”

“… Tentative? ”

"After all, the headquarters has not yet been built, and there is no need to organize people, so recruiting people is just a matter of casual encounter, and there is no need to dig people for the time being."

“… Not finished yet? ”

"The fortress of the entire solar system, why give me a year and a half?"

“… Is it just a year and a half? What kind of technical power is it? What level of fortification? A fortress city like the Third New Tokyo City? ”

"Twelve planet fortresses, seventy-two planet fortresses that are one size smaller, and then add some small fortresses of the two hundred kilometer level, dozens of dock groups, almost these." Ian casually revealed the layout of the "Golden Zodiac" fortress group designed when he was bored.

At the time of the first crossing, he had fantasized about combining the technology of various worlds to create a fortress group on the scale of galaxies. Then he stayed inside, and no one was afraid.

But now, the Golden Zodiac is being manufactured, and it is impossible to stay in it, but it is possible to become a transportation hub.

"Planet Fortress?"

"Hmm." Ian pulled up images of the construction sites of the second-generation Starkiller Fortress and the fourth-generation Death Star Fortress under construction for Ritsuko.

“…… Is this a fortress made from an entire planet? A planet as big as Earth? ”

"Strictly speaking, these twelve planetary fortresses are nearly one-third larger than Earth."

"That hole..."

"It's the main gun."

“… Terrible... But the direction of the muzzle of the gun ..."

"Each of the twelve fortresses has its own aiming range, and these Star Slayer main guns are all designed to attack planets hundreds or even tens of thousands of light-years away, and they don't think about attacking things at close range, most of the time they are only for deterrence and decoration.

The real garrison of this system is the seventy-two Death Star fortresses and the main fleet that will be stationed in this system in the future. ”

"Is it..."

"It's always my habit that in a combat system, there is always a high-power weapon that will not be used easily, and then the main output depends on the second-level weapon system."

"It's really... It's a waste..."Ritsuko figured out the meaning of this special-purpose cannon-like existence.

"Occasionally, it works wonders, but most of the time is really wasted. After all, large-scale battlefields and planetary destruction wars are not easy to come across. ”

"Didi..."×2

"So late?" ×2

"Hey" × 2

"Six hundred meters inside Mt. Fuji, the Ninth Apostle was found, spectral analysis, blue. Now, NERV has issued a state of emergency declaration A23, evacuated residents fifty kilometers around Mt. Fuji, increased detection of all volcanoes in neon, and NERV has entered the second combat configuration, with personnel above clearance A on standby at the base, and combatants on standby at the base. ”

"It's finally here," Ritsuko hung up.

"Any ideas?"

"It seems to be captured."

"Then catch it."

Ritsuko stared at Ian.

“…… Are you trying to get my ship out of the way? ”

"Last time I heard that you had something on your ship called a towing beam, can you use it here?"

“… OK. ”
