Want somatic and stem cell samples for both of us? What do you want to do? Ritsuko looked up at Ian.

"I'm going to surprise you guys... It could also be a fright. It's better to ask for your own opinions in advance about this kind of private thing. ”

"Do you want our somatic cells and stem cells to clone us for weird things, uncle?" Asuka clasped her hands to her chest and sat on a chair with Jiro's legs crossed.

“…… I'm also wearing a 14-year-old face now, okay, it's really okay for you to call me uncle? ”

"It's already a fright for you to ask us for these things. You asked Commander Ikari last night for a blank body of the Ayanami series for a purpose? ”

"Hmm."

"I still understand the Ayanami series and Asuka, what does it matter to me? I don't have a daughter, my mom, do you still believe in MAGI, or do you just want to do it to MAGI? ”

"It's a shame that I'm going to do with three EVAs."

"Is it too early?" I only hit the seventh apostle, and there are eleven more in the back.

"What are you talking about...?" Asuka's expression on the side gradually became confused.

"The second machine can wait a while, the technology is relatively mature, and the damage to the soul is not great. And a lot of interaction is taken over by the machine, so the driver's talent can be played more stably.

The technology of the zero and first machines is too rough, especially the first machine, although I took over the synchronization channel with the first machine as much as possible, but I can't hold on anymore. ”

"Yui Ikari... I've grown up listening to her legendary stories for so many years. "I took out a lighter and a cigarette, and lit it several times but couldn't light it. I could only awkwardly hold the lady's cigarette that was not there. "And Mother ......"

"I said... What kind of dumb riddle are you playing? Asuka propped up her seat with her hands, leaned forward slightly, crossed her feet, and looked very uneasy.

"You'll be seeing your mom again soon, Asuka." Ritsuko turned her head to look at Asuka to the side. "With your IQ, it's impossible not to understand."

Asuka opened her mouth several times, but stopped talking.

"But...... Mommy she ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, Asuka's mother is also a genius-level researcher in the third branch?"

"The person in charge of the mass production of EVA is in charge of the name of genius."

"So, now EVA is equipped with a top genius who can cross the world, a top genius who can develop practical wet supercomputing, and a first-class genius who can talk about the mass production and use of special weapons such as the first machine and the zero machine without reducing too much performance?"

"Almost... Shikiba Kyoko Zeppelin, the head of the technical department of the third branch of Germany, is on the same level as my mother, and your evaluation is a little low. ”

"Don't you think it's a waste? Three people who would have been able to drive human progress were wasted in this place. They should have played a bigger role. ”

"Ten years ago, those people were much better than my people... Even today, when I encounter something occasionally, I have to go to my mother's notes to solve it. After all these years, you still have to teach me lessons..."Ritsuko looked wistfully at an old notebook in her hand.

Where are you from, Tony Stark?

The corner of Ian's eyes twitched.

"Let's go, the cultivation facility of the Ayanami series has enough equipment."

After a busy afternoon of collecting enough samples. Ian and the three returned to the base's regular facilities.

"In other words, if the interactive interface of EVA is gone... The question of manipulation..."

"I've pretty much figured out the A10 neural interface manipulation. It can be solved by the brainwave reading system with a part of the mental power skeleton. In the case of the AT standpoint, the good thing is that the EVA is just an amplifier, and with the assistance of these two things, and then increasing the depth of the insertion bolt to about 80, the soul and EVA can be in direct contact, and there is no pulse backflow.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the risk is relatively large, and it is only a little bit away from the collapse of its own form, but it only requires that the desire to be strong enough to change back at any time. If you can't change it back, you can also forcibly pull the soul out of EVA. If the soul strength is large enough to suppress EVA's body, then you are harnessing EVA, and your consciousness and soul temporarily leave your body and borrow the body of EVA, a giant god, to fight. ”

"Sounds like a good look... But what about the probability of success? ”

"It's huge. And in either case, the synchronization rate is approaching 100%. It can be said that it is a transformation plan that can basically fully exert the combat capabilities of EVA. ”

Ian has now learned to sit in a swivel chair and talk in circles.

"Of course, if that fails, there's a second option. Direct transplantation of the Zero system, full immersion of consciousness. The EVA is then controlled by a virtual machine. I saw that SEELE was conducting an experiment of unmanned start EVA, and when this part of the information was thoroughly understood, this transformation method was established. I still don't quite understand the method of activating the AT stance by mechanical means. ”

"Can EVA be started without a human driver? Is this really possible? ”

"It's possible in principle, but I don't understand it."

"Didi... Didi..."

"Hello?"

"The souls inside the three mechs have been contained. There is a ready-made soul body in the first machine, and it only takes about two weeks to concoct it. The physical body of the soul in machine zero needs to be re-cultivated, and it will take at least a month or so. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"In addition, I modified the second machine with my own hands, and used a virtual machine to simulate the signals of human souls. Now machine 2 can be used as an interactive interface without a real soul. ”

“？？？” Ian was stunned. "Kayaba-san, is it so easy to transform EVA's operating system?"

"The situation of the second machine is quite special. The essence of the zero machine is an apostle bound to the human form, and the first machine is an artificial clone, an imitation of the ADM, both of which can be used as triggers.

But the second machine is different, and the design concept of the second machine is not to imitate the gods. Instead, with human strength and technology, they pulled down the gods from above and trampled them into the dirt.

So, the second machine. In fact, it's just a human weapon that looks alike, and can also release an AT stand, and looks a lot like the first and zero machines.

The little girl was right, it's not just the color that is different, the second machine is the real EVA for actual combat.

Therefore, the second machine can solve this problem of using the human soul as the driving interface in a relatively simple way. ”

"Because the design idea is from the perspective of people..."

"Anyway, it won't affect that little girl's first battle here, let her rest assured."

…… So what you call checking the information is to make up for it......

Asuka didn't have a chance to say her famous quote in this world......

"Allahala... True... Ian-chan Ritsuko and Asuka are both here..."Misato pushed the door in. "Allah... Both of them are pale and weak, did Ian-chan do something? ”

"yes, I inserted something hard into their bodies."

“！！！！ Huh? ”

"And then I pulled out a little bone marrow."

"Huh? What are you doing? ”

"I don't want to explain it a second time... Ritsuko will tell you in a moment. ”

Ritsuko nodded, she didn't approve of the same question again...

"Then again, what about the blessing king? I remember he got off the boat with us yesterday. "Ian vaguely remembers that there is also a plot of blessing flirting Ritsuko and flirting with Misato by the way?

"That guy... I went to the Ministry of Security to get a lot of equipment, and hurriedly went on a business trip to the United States with Deputy Commander Dongyue. Really, I don't know what I'm busy with all day long. ”

"Went to America?" ARE YOU GOING TO SEND EVIDENCE OF SEELE......

A team of bionic robot agents was activated, and they were directly airdropped near the deputy commander of Winter Moon, secretly guarding.

"I'll be back on the ship tonight for the initial cloning and tuning of the Ayanami series. You don't have to wait for me~"

After a burst of light, Ian disappeared into the office.

"Ahh This guy is getting less and less concerned. I would have installed it before. Misato sat on the chair that was still spinning in circles. So, what's going on with that clone, Ayanami series? ”

"He, he decided to ......"

The conversation between Ritsuko and Misato will not be talked about for the time being.

Ian returned to the ship, to the cloning chamber that had been built the day before. There are three large transparent cylinders filled with LCL in the cloning chamber. Underneath the cylinder are a variety of folded robotic arms.

Two of the four cylinders are empty, and one of them floats the body of an Ayanami series.

Two copies of the newly obtained cloning data are put into the machine for automatic cloning.

Ian sat down and began to adjust the body of this Ayanami series.

Although the world's biological technology points are abnormally high, the problems of somatic cell cloning can basically be found in this body.

These include, but are not limited to, short lifespan due to shortened telomeres in genes, premature aging due to chromosomal defects, and so on.

As for mild leukemia, changes in hair color and eye color affected by Lilith are not a big deal.

The big question is......

This early Ayanami series was unable to produce human souls...... It is even difficult to carry the soul of a human being.

The Ayanami body of this series is likely to have been concocted by Lilith for herself.

That's what Ian came to after a night of tossing and turning.

If you use the latest Ayanami series of bodies, the cells will irreversibly divide in the direction of the apostles when they enter a certain stage of division, and most of the human characteristics will be retained.

Ordinary inspections do not see it at all, and even the resulting AT position is a yellow waveform of a human.

By the time Ian had modulated this Ayanami's physical performance to be similar to that of a normal human, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Damn... It took one night to get Lilith's body adjustment plan right..."Ian yawned.

Looking back at the three empty tanks.

"Two reads succeed and one read fails?"

Now only one of the four tanks is empty.

The remaining two jars, based on the genetic information collected, are undergoing routine cloning procedures. It's just a little faster... With the help of nanobots, it is possible to grow to a state of about 18 years old in about three weeks.

"Yui Ikari's photo is hard to find... They were all destroyed by Lao Jie. Remember that there is another one in Dongyue? Or is it just a pinch of Rei Ayana's face and only change the color of her eyes and hair? ”

"Forget it, let's try to build one first... Just pinch Rei Ayana's face. ”

After entering the data into the main control computer, Ian returned to the third new Tokyo City.

Back in the third new Tokyo city, Ian slapped his head. I forgot that my current body is still Shinji Ikari's. Wouldn't it be nice to clone Yui Ikari's body with the genetic material of his current body.

"Harm... Bai struggled for a long time..."

Then, as Ian walked through the doors of the technical department, the alarm sounded.

“？？？” Ian turned his head. The large screen on the wall turned into a red hexagonal alarm pattern.

"Isn't the apostle a little too diligent lately...... Third, can the city of New Tokyo stand it? Ian turned around and left. Ritsuko, I'm going to Gnaku first. ”

"Hmm. It's too diligent, and the damage caused by the Sixth Apostle hasn't been repaired yet..."

"The Eighth Apostle found that he was now at war with the Second Front. Now the apostles are moving at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive in the third new Tokyo city in 3 hours. ”

"What about the state of EVA?"

"The transformation of the zero machine has not yet begun, and it cannot be attacked."

"No. 2 machine, the sortie is ready to be completed, and there are still three minutes before the driver arrives at the base."

"The first plane, the sortie is ready to be completed, and the pilot is on standby at Gnaku."

"Where's the driver of the second plane?"

"On the helicopter, you're about to get to the seventh entrance."

"Let her go straight to the airport. The first and second aircraft were launched directly to the airfield. Transported directly by transport plane to Phase Simulation Bay to engage the Apostles. ”

Listening to the familiar announcement, Ian felt that the guy who might be more watery than the fish angel was coming.

After liftoff, through EVA's high-performance camera, Ian saw it.

"Ahh Musical Angels. It's also a terrible guy for water... Do you want to kick the knight again? ”

"The first machine, drop it and begin."

"Machine two, drop and start."

Two EVAs were dropped from a specialized transport aircraft, free-falling from an altitude of nearly five thousand meters.

Then, as he approached the ground, a stance appeared under his feet, and the aura above his head flashed and fell gently to the ground. The two EVAs slowly knelt down and asked the power cart to connect the external power supply to the body.

Then, the two mechs slowly stood up.

"Why do I still have to fight with the big ... Shinji is together......"

"Because the current defense facilities of the third new Tokyo city are almost completely destroyed, it can be said that they are running naked. This time, the battle is limited to the third new Tokyo city, so solve it as soon as possible. ”

"So, I'll go first." The second machine ran up.

The first machine compared a posture of please. Then pick up the M-99B rifle and start covering shooting.

"Huh? Ordinary armor-piercing shells? ”

"The MDE warhead ran out last time, and new ammunition has not yet been produced." Ritsuko's avatar appears on the side of the cockpit.

"Okay."

Running on the water, the second machine jumped high when it approached the last three hundred meters of the apostle, and slashed down with the long knife in his hand, cutting the apostle in half.

"Did you really choose the most direct and handsome means?" looked at the "corpse" of the apostle who was trembling. Ian decisively pulled the trigger.

"How? My..."

"Asuka, stand back." The first machine took turns suppressing the fire of the two apostles.

The apostle shed his skin and split into two individuals.

"Yikes! And with cheating!? "Machine Two did several backflips in a row, dodging the Apostle's slash. Retreated to the first plane.

Standing side by side with the first machine, facing the two apostles who were advancing.
