Chapter 187: A Day of Leisure
"And only our combat units called EVA pilots are relatively idle, and the comrades of the intelligence department and the combat department are about to vomit blood."
Ian crackled through the last few words. Put your computer away and get ready to run away from school. In recent times, NERV has been dealing with SEELE's decisive comeback.
Ritsuko has been leading the technical department to deal with cyber attacks that are launched from nowhere.
Most of MAGI's computing resources are used to deal with SEELE, and there are no extra computing resources allocated to the design department and the technical department responsible for technology development.
As a result, Ian has been commuting to and from school normally for the past few weeks, and even EVA driving training has been reduced to one day a week.
"But what the hell are they busy with...... Asuka lay on the table, looking at the sky boredly.
"What they should have done a long time ago." After packing his bag, Ian realized something.
When I first arrived in Third New Tokyo four months ago, the class had nearly forty students.
And now, there are only seven people left.
"Hey. Toji. ”
"What are you doing, transfer student?"
"Why don't you move out?"
"Move out?" Toji was stunned for half a second. "What are you moving away for, the third new Tokyo City is just in danger once a month. With the exception of a large country in East Asia, there are at least 10 terrorist attacks per day in other regions. If you encounter danger here, you just need to run to the bomb shelter in the underground city. You can't run in other cities when you encounter danger. ”
"And now that the security environment has deteriorated, many of the people who have moved out would rather have to fight every month than face terrorist attacks every day. I've heard that applications to come back to live are now piled up at the City Hall of the Third New Tokyo City. The squad leader came over with his bag.
"Request to come back?" This Ian didn't expect to go back to this city where there is a high probability of being bombed by N2 thunderstorms every month?
"Hmm." The squad leader nodded vigorously. "In the past four months, two of the 37 students in our class were injured and one family member was injured in the first unrest. In the third unrest, one family member died. However, this month, the entire family of four classmates who moved to the second new Tokyo city were involved in the terrorist attack and died. ”
After saying that, the squad leader himself didn't know what expression to leak. "It's supposed to be a place every month, but it's the safest place..."
Ian opened his mouth to say something, but it turned into a sigh.
"I said, the second generation of officials, can you take care of it?" Asuka kicked Ian's stool and asked in German.
"If I intervene rashly, it is very likely to cause a complete panic." Ian also replied in German, and on the first day of SEELE's operation, Ian parachuted a division of escort robots in the third New Tokyo City to protect himself and others.
Coupled with the battle group led by Misato, and the struggle of the intelligence group that is always in the shadows.
SEELE's full-scale infiltration of the Third New Tokyo City has been kept under control on the outskirts of the city.
As for other cities, the Enterprise and the spy satellites she launched covered the globe in just one day. All the time, they provide information on the remnants of SEELE to the field forces of various countries. Intelligence sharing in the name of NERV, of course.
However, even if only this minimum level of combat support is maintained. The coalition forces are also concerned about the combat robots that appear from time to time in the city of Third New Tokyo. More than once within the coalition of nations there have been demands from within the NERV to hand over the command of the combat robots,
But Lao Iki said that this is the spaceship that appeared on the moon a month ago, and you should ask him if he wants to go.
After hitting a wall several times, the coalition forces had no choice but to give up, and then silently cut the budget for anti-intrusion equipment at the NERV headquarters by two-thirds.
"Total panic? Is your side so threatening? Asuka sat up straight and turned her head sharply.
"A week ago, when one of NERV's field troops was surrounded and on the verge of total annihilation, two hoplite combat robots arrived on the battlefield and took out the enemy's force of about 160 men in 35 seconds. Three seconds later, a mechanized mixed brigade of marines in the United States ambushed nearby began to attack, and after using heavy weapons including helicopter gunships, tanks, and fighter jets, the two combat robots were not left behind. Instead, the other 6 combat robots and 2 gunboats that arrived were all wiped out. ”
Seeing Asuka's shocked expression, Ian smiled slightly.
"Don't leak this expression, the generation gap caused by technology that is hundreds of years ahead of the world cannot be made up by just a few numbers."
"No... Your troops are with the United States...? ”
"There have been more than 15 entrapments against combat robots this week, and I can understand how countries want to see the new technology."
"But... That's a mechanized mixed brigade..."
"It's not a good habit to show kindness in the face of hostility for the first time, it will only lead to a nose kick in the face."
"I can understand this, but is the generation gap really that big?"
"Wait... What are you talking about? The squad leader listened to the two people and suddenly began to speak a foreign language, and several of them didn't understand a word.
"It's a matter of work." Ian pulls out his phone and throws the purpose-built guard robot at Asuka. It was something that came out of Ian's mind when he was bored.
More than four meters high, it is powered by three small palladium reactors. The arms can be freely transformed into blaster rifles, gn rifles, beam swords, 70mm rocket launchers, 120mm multi-purpose missile launchers, 76mm grenade launchers, phase arrays, large shields and other armaments according to different mission requirements.
The backpack can also be transformed into a 90mm high muzzle velocity gun, a 155mm rapid-fire howitzer, a high-speed and high-mobility multi-purpose missile launcher, a 60mm Gatling rapid-fire gun, and other weapons.
With a sixth-generation mini solar stove and anti-gravity module, it can barely soar to about Mach 1 speed in a fully armed state.
The full-body armor is made of lightweight Luna titanium alloy and a high-compression neutron coating. Built-in two gunboat-class deflection shield generators and a beam point defense system. If you give a charge time, you can also expand the GN stance.
In the face of the firepower configuration of the early 21st century, the non-yang electronic cannon and N2 weapons can basically be wasted at will......
"Is this your regular soldier setup over there?" Asuka silently compared Europa's active equipment in her heart.
It was found that conventional equipment could not cope with these steel soldiers at all. I'm afraid that the three of these things can eat away at the whole of Europa little bit.
"Of course not, special edition, special edition. The general form is this. "Well, that's right, this thing was made up of a stupid and cute B1 robot." However, I've also emasculated some of the performance, otherwise the Proton Torpedo and MDE weapons would have been in its regular configuration. After all, now it's a local special operation, not a full-scale war, and I still have a bit of a lower limit. ”
"Local special operations?" The corners of Asuka's eyes twitched, looking at the options for that bunch of large-caliber artillery and sci-fi killer laser cannons. Whose special operations will come up with 155mm guns......
