Chapter 209: The Aquarium and Unit Four
"They're so awesome that they just come directly to the end of the world, and they need to engage in conspiracy?"
"Hey, what's that expression?" Ian saw that Nagisa Kaoru had a shocked expression on his face, "With the current level of human technology, the average civilization that has just come out of motherhood will probably have to kneel." However, in the face of a stable interstellar civilization, this level of civilization is just a level of casual death. ”
"For example, my ship, which is equipped with more than five particularly peaceful ways to let the earth go in half an hour, the end of the world? It's never too difficult. It can even be said that it is difficult to protect the earth from being played.
Once the supermatter fuel and the black hole material used to generate the gravity well on that ship get out of control, it is not a problem to collapse into a black hole in low Earth orbit. And this, although it cannot be said to be outdated, is indeed not the latest technology. I heard that the people at Quarter Industries were working on how to compress stars and stuff them into reactors. ”
"Although there is already a means to directly extract stellar energy in the star system, it's just that it's a bit of a waste to turn a star into a red giant after pumping stars."
Nagisa Kaoru's expression gradually normalized, only to feel that he was being shown off again.
"Do you remember what you described to me, your initial state? Tough confrontation, but smooth escape. ”
"I thought it was just their cat and mouse taste..."
"If the cat plays with the mouse, it should have pressed you to death the moment you escaped, and you can wait until you do something here?" Ian replied angrily. "Unless your Creator civilization is really funny and funny, this won't happen."
The three EVAs slowly landed, returned to the catapult, and descended back to the headquarters.
A few minutes later, it rained blood in the Third New Tokyo.
"Asuka, it's beautiful."
"Of course."
"Shinji-kun?" Misato saw that Ian was not in a high mood.
"It's okay, it's just that there's something to ask Kaoru Nagisa." Ian waved his hand and rubbed his face by the way, smiling a little.
"This apostle touched you a lot?"
"After all, he was the first apostle to resume his departure and voluntarily give up his life... Anything that has anything to do with this kind of self-sacrifice is nothing to worry about. ”
“…… So you are not because of the death of the apostles..."
"I'm just afraid of trouble, Great journey requires greatest sacrifice. Every time I see this kind of sacrifice, I will encounter all kinds of noble reasons. ”
"Various...?"
"It's annoying... It's all a matter of right or wrong, just position. Yes... Kaoru Nagisa, you've finally calculated... Who's next to you? ”
Without the help of instruments, Ian could see the phantom floating next to Nagisa with the naked eye.
"Huh?" Misato and Asuka retreated one after another. "Where, where?"
"Apostle?" Rei tilted her head slightly, she could see it quite clearly. In her eyes, next to Kaoru Nagisa floated a young man who was only a little transparent like him.
"It's the foolish brother." Kaoru Nagisa bowed slightly.
"If you play my stupid brother's game again, I'll blow myself up for you."
“…… When did the Hokage start serialization? That was Ian's only thought when he heard this.
"Ahem, don't play, I guessed what you want to ask. Seventeen of our apostles, including me, had physical problems. Theoretically, semi-permanent creatures like us are theoretically incapable of amnesia. After eating the fruit of life, our body is stronger, and at the same time, it also leads our soul to be stronger.
We who use the soul as a carrier of memory are even more unlikely to lose their memory. ”
"But you're not only amnesiac, you're also sane," Ian sighed.
"So we're going to figure out what's wrong." Kaoru Nagisa exhaled. "And the first step is for Little Eleven to give up his body."
"So, what about the result?"
"We have a back door in our body, although we don't know where. But there is one organ that distorts what we see and hear, and even distorts our memories of the past. ”
"The physical back door..."
"For some things in the past, what I have seen and heard will be replaced..."
“???” Ian looked dazed.
"Nerve impulses were replaced, and what we thought we saw at the time was different from what we actually saw. Like humans, our bodies transmit information through nerve impulses. We think that organ grows on some of our central nervous systems to control our nerve impulses. This alters the nerve signals transmitted by our eyes and other senses. ”
"And then?"
"As I said at the beginning, after Lilith ate the fruit of wisdom, we were hunted down and fled. Escape Eden on the Black Moon. Then he was caught up just as he was about to arrive in the galaxy and played a second game. They were repulsed, and the back doors of our bodies were activated, and they began to kill each other. ”
"And none of them died?"
"Then the only sober second sister beat us all up."
"Huh?"
"Second sister, her body is completely composed of LCL, which is different from us. We who have eaten the fruits of life, the core of our lives is what you call the core of the S2 mechanism. The body and soul are all pinned on the S2 mechanism.
That's why the S2 mechanism is broken and the body collapses directly.
But Lilith is different, after eating the fruit of wisdom, her whole body is LCL, it's just..."Kaoru Nagisa leaked a loveless expression. She found that her soul and body were out of sync, and she exploded into a pool of LCL and directly regenerated a body. Then we found out that we had the same situation, but we couldn't reorganize the body. ”
"So she suppressed you herself?"
"So she first cut herself into seventeen parts, and beat us until we couldn't take care of ourselves."
"Huh?"
"Literally, seventeen of her one-on-one beat us to life and then stuffed us into a coffin on the moon."
"It's really... I know these are useful? ”
"It's useless, but at least there's one thing to be sure... One-on-one, we can talk to the Creator and civilization. ”
"I beg you to tell me something I don't know." Ian pouted. "I've guessed this since I knew you were still alive and ADAMS was blown to ashes by the N2 Blast."
"If you have time, you will sort out the information of your Creator civilization for me, and sooner or later you will have to deal with them, and knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is a good policy. As for the rest," Ian shrugged. "Just tell me whether your Creator civilization is warlike or not, whether it can fight, and whether it can communicate well."
"I see..."
"Allah... Shinji-kun? ”
"Ah, Misato... I almost forgot you were here. Go home and go home, and the next apostle will come back for at least two weeks. It's time to fish. ”
"Huh?"
"Touch the fish, touch the fish, now the industrial department is seizing the time to transform the new technology of the technical department into products. Our technical department is basically focused on dealing with the problems of the Ministry of Industry right now, and we don't have the energy to develop new technologies. ”
"Isn't this a choking waste?"
"Uh... It doesn't count... Ritsuko and I have come up with a 50-year plan based on the list of existing technologies and the projects to be carried out... If you're lucky, a few more geniuses of Ritsuko's level should be able to complete it in about thirty years. ”
"Fifty years?"
"After all, I have the technology, and the four of them have brains... The project is progressing so fast that others can't keep up. ”
"Whatever you want... By the way, the blessing got a few places to go to the aquarium, will you go? ”
"Look at them, they're going to have fun. I'm not very interested. ”
"Aquarium?" Leigh poked her head over.
"Inside is the creature before the second impact, which has been reproduced through cloning technology. Now that the creatures of the sea are all extinct, you must not have seen those born after the second impact, right? Misato looked back at the two teenage drivers.
When Ian saw the two of them's expressions of interest, he knew that he couldn't run the aquarium this time.
"Smack!" In the violet long-wave radiation sterilization treatment room, I'm irradiated naked.
Then there is the hot shower room, and the hot water in front of you that doesn't burn people sprays on your body. Ian reluctantly wore the boxers issued by the aquarium and appeared under the sprinkler. Behind him is Rei and Asuka in a bandeau and matching flats.
Asuka huggs her head and dodges the hot water, and Rei stands there with Penpen in her arms, unmoved.
Then it was time for the next organic ionization decomposition purification bath sterilization chamber, where three people and one bird were soaked in strange purple pool water.
Then, cold showers. Ian endured the baptism of cold water with a black line, Asuka was still jumping to her feet, and Rei was still indifferent, but she was a little trembling,
And then, the bath again...
And then there's the windroom...
"Ahh Ian Dan was in pain and was now in the disinfection room, and the wind was blowing close to level eight.
And then the bath again...
"Three people and one bird." The above words appeared on the screen in front of you.
Changing into the clothes provided by the aquarium, the group walked into the elevator.
"Wow... Is this the creature that preceded the second impact? It's really alive..."Asuka has her face attached to the huge water tank. "It's so beautiful..."
Liz is now in front of the water tank, her mouth is slightly open, and her gaze is constantly upward.
"It's a lot bigger than any other large aquarium I've seen before," Ian looked at the harmonious sea creatures in the tank, from sperm whales to clownfish. But considering that this is a huge facility covering more than tens of square kilometers, it is also necessary to have such a large water tank..."
"Shinji-kun, you don't look surprised..."
"After all, there was no extinction of this scale in the area where I came from, and after the construction of the rail elevator and the solar power ring, human protection of the environment has been taken to a higher level.
After all, after the construction of solar power facilities and transmission pipelines in various groups of countries, even fossil fuels are rarely used. ”
When it comes to decades ago, Ian feels like yesterday.
"Really... It seems to be a very good planet..."Blessing touched his pocket, and then remembered that the cigarettes and everything else had been taken away.
"Ikati-kun, can the earth's environment be restored?" Leigh asked in a whisper.
Although Asuka didn't ask, judging from the movement of her head tilted slightly, she was also concerned about this question.
"Theoretically, yes," Ian recalled the information Akihiko Kayaba had left for him.
"Most of the changes in the earth's extinction environment are caused by changes in the direction of the earth's axis and the second shock halfway through.
The earth's axis is easy to say, but the risk is too great, because now that the earth has recovered itself for fifteen years, the ecological environment has actually partially recovered. If it is changed back, it is likely that the ecology will completely collapse.
As for the ocean, after dealing with the apostles, I'll find some occult experts to study it. I'm afraid that it will take a way to close the gate of the guf in Antarctica, so that the symbolism of the sea water can be reversed from the definition of "blood of the gods" and returned to..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."Asuka couldn't listen anymore. You just say if you can. ”
"Yes."
"Isn't that the end of it? We are not trying to hear the report. Asuka raised her chin and clasped her hands to her chest. Are you stupid? ”
“…… me, I've been stupid too? Ian's eyes twitched.
"What's a stupid card... Is there lunch? Tossed all morning and starved to death. ”
The group came to the rooftop. The Enterprise's kitchen teleported a bunch of good food, as well as tables and chairs.
"It's delicious...", blessed, looking at the big meal in front of him. It's not artificial meat..."
"Of course not, it is made of beef from a kind of cattle that is a specialty of Nabuxing, and the black pig from Chengdu on the earth is the main meat raw material. As for the vegetables, they are basically native to the earth on my side. ”
“… Alien flora and fauna? So it's a complete alien feast? "The blessed face is not good or bad, in short, it is strange.
"It's already done with debacilization, no need to ......" Several people moved at the same time, and each took out their mobile phones from their pockets.
"Emergency summoning orders?" Ian saw the words displayed on his phone.
"Ours is an emergency standby order, ready to strike at any time."
"What happened?" Ian changed back into the researcher's clothes.
"Thirty-five minutes ago, the second North American branch was eliminated. The current judgment is that the collapse of the AT position occurred when the EVA 4 was started, and the details are not known. ”
"Machine Four?" Ian flipped through the limited declassified material. "Artificial S2 trap mount type?"
"The experimental EVA that provides data for the next-generation body, and I don't even have the right to access the specific information." Ritsuko took the last puff of her cigarette and pressed the butt of her cigarette into the ashtray.
"Is it the S2 agency data that leaked from our side?"
"It's information obtained from the Bethany base."
"No wonder." Ian put down the report, pulled out his tablet, and retrieved the surveillance data of the second North American branch.
"There's no doubt that Unit Four was the center of the explosion." Ian looked at the data line by line, and there was also a video of the fourth machine starting the experiment next to it. "The S2 mechanism collapsed for unknown reasons, and the AT of Unit 4 reversed its position. Instead of being eliminated, the second branch and the fourth machine were dragged into the different space constructed by the anti-AT position. ”
"Dirac's Sea Project?"
"That's right."
"In other words, is it still possible for the fourth machine and the second branch to be rescued?"
"That's right, but without first-hand information, it's difficult for us to accurately find the coordinates of that different space." Ian showed Ritsuko the information he had. "Now near the second branch, in the space with a radius of 300 kilometers centered on the No. 4 machine, there are still irregular spatial oscillations, and there is no way to scan it."
"I see, then the salvage plan is suspended."
That's when Misato walked in.
"The second branch, the Nevada branch, is calling, and they are going to hand over the third machine to us."
