"Hello, I'm Misato Katsuragi, Chief of Operations at the NERV Headquarters, and I would like to thank your organization for bringing the precious EVA II and pilot here safely - and for helping us eliminate the Seventh Apostle."

As the "host", Misato Katsuragi took the initiative to greet him and thanked the European senior officers of the "Mithril" very politely.

However, it was very strange that the senior officers on the other side all showed a little embarrassed looks—especially the white-bearded "old man" who looked like he had been looking at for a long time.

"Hahaha......"

The white-haired "Mithril" officer quickly burst out laughing, and then he nodded slightly to Misato Katsuragi, Chu Xuan, and the others, and replied quite politely:

"That's what we're supposed to do, we're just a bunch of mercenaries who pay for our employers.

I'm 'Mithril' Western Pacific Marine Special Response Team Commander Andrew? Segwich? Kalinin, with the rank of major.

These two are Richard, the vice captain of the Western Pacific Force's raid landing submarine 'Sons of Dannu'? Lieutenant Commander Madukas, and our Mithril Princess, Captain of the Western Pacific Fleet, Captain of the Sons of Danu, Theresa? Colonel Testa Rosa. ”

After Colonel Kalinin introduced the stern glasses officer who walked behind him and the silver-haired beautiful girl officer with long braids, Misato Katsuragi realized what he had done wrong.

She originally thought that this imposing bearded veteran at the front would be the captain of the "Son of Danu", and the young female officer in the back would be his secretary or translator, and the last one was about forty or fifty years old. The stern officer wearing a pair of glasses was his lieutenant, but he didn't expect that the youngest silver-haired beautiful girl officer was the real captain!

Misato Katsuragi wanted to complain to Major Kalinin at this time. "Since you're not the captain, why are you at the front, are you one of you in the front to open the way for the 'princess'. One in the back for the princess to lift the corners of the skirt".

However, she did guess the truth to a certain extent, the seemingly weak Captain Sailor was an extreme athletic idiot in addition to being good at swimming, and would often crash into walls or fall on flat ground by herself, and in order to avoid showing her disgraceful side in front of her partner Nerv, Major Kalinin and Lieutenant Colonel Madukas had to sandwich her in the middle like this.

"Ah...... Disrespectful ......"

Although Misato Katsuragi had a few black lines on her forehead, she immediately apologized to the other two officers, and then she followed Major Kalinin's example and immediately pulled Chu Xuan out to change the subject.

"This is my colleague. Senior Colonel Chu Xuan of the first class of NERV technology. ”

"Colonel Chu Xuan?"

Misato Katsuragi's tried and tested trick really worked again, and after hearing the name "Colonel Chu Xuan", which had been given a special meaning, the three senior officers on the other side and several soldiers behind them all showed surprised expressions, and they all set their eyes on Chu Xuan, who was reflected in his glasses.

Chu Xuan...... Colonel, are you the 'Colonel Chu Xuan'?

I was surprisingly young, and I thought you were at least thirty years old. ”

Unusually young silver-haired teen Teresa with long braids? Colonel Testa Rosa raised her hand to cover her lips and exclaimed, but among the people present, she seemed to be the only one who was not qualified to think that Chu Xuan was too young.

"I'm actually only 18 years old."

Colonel Chu Xuan, who is always 18 years old, pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, calmly reported his age, and caused another exclamation from the beautiful girl captain of the "son of Dannu".

"Ahh Isn't that just two years older than me! ”

On Chu Xuan's side, Misato Katsuragi and Black Cat and others have become =_=|||'s expression, that beautiful girl captain is too natural, right?

She is now a 16-year-old colonel, and she is also the captain of the combat unit and the captain of the submarine who is most likely to make meritorious contributions. By the time she was 18 years old, she would probably have become a colonel; If her organization did not have the rank of colonel, then her current rank of colonel would already be equivalent to Chu Xuan's colonel.

A 16-year-old colonel who looked as if he was not yet 16 years old was surprised by the fact that the other was actually 18 years old, but everyone would have thought that he was now 28 years old. No matter how you look at it, there is a kind of irony in it.

"Is the 16-year-old Colonel of Real Power, compared to Colonel Tystarosa. My rank of colonel is not worth mentioning. ”

Chu Xuan said this in a voice that was as steady and uninhibited as ever, but Colonel Tastarosa seemed to think that he was angry. Hurriedly waved his hands in a panic and explained:

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I really think you're amazing.

Your activity in Super Robot Wars has already caught my attention, and it's the first time that someone who can reach the top level in both driving and commanding has appeared, and while ranking doesn't tell the whole story, you're definitely in the spotlight.

And I only became the captain of the 'Son of Danu' because of technical factors, and I didn't have any actual combat achievements at all......

By the way, I just heard from Chief of Operations Katsuragi, and you are still working in the technology class, so I guess you are also a professional in the development and research of science and technology. ”

"Colonel Testa Rosa is overrated, my job is only to be a guardian of EVA drivers, but I do have a greater interest in scientific research and am working part-time in the technical class.

I think that our 'AT force field' and your 'λ-driver' have a lot in common, and that they should be essentially the same type of capability, and if we can conduct joint research on this, I would love to be able to participate in this work. ”

Chu Xuan said modestly with a straight face, and then immediately shifted the topic to science, just like any "tech nerd", his glasses reflected a strong light at this time.

But on the other side of him, the silver pupils of the beautiful girl colonel who looked just cute also emitted a light that was not inferior to Chu Xuan, and immediately echoed Chu Xuan's words excitedly.

"That's right, although I have the ...... Knowledge is not in the aspect of the λ-driver, but I also think that the fact that the λ-driver converts an attack or defensive impulse into energy with physical properties is no different from an AT force field. ”

"It is precisely in this way that attack can also be considered 'active defense', and the defensive impulse and the 'wall of the heart' overlap in many concepts......"

When it comes to technology, these two young genius technicians seem to have finally found a "bosom friend" who can keep up with their level, and they can't stop at all, and the light emitted by the two of them is too dazzling, even the 14-year-old beautiful girl pilot, who also claims to be a genius, Captain Asuka, the ace of the European Air Force, has to retreat.

"I knew it was going to be like this."

Looking at the black cat who was talking happily, he shrugged his shoulders and sighed a little helplessly, that Miss "Tessa", no matter what life she is in, can she talk to Chu Xuan like this, is this called "things gather by like, people by groups".

"That...... Please, please just call me 'Tessa'. ”

"Then you can just call me 'Chu Xuan', especially don't use honorifics."

…… Soon, love Teresa who is called "Tessa"? Colonel Testa Rosa and Senior Colonel Chu Xuan became good friends who could happily discuss scientific research and military command issues, and Misato Katsuragi and Shinji Ikari couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw Chu Xuan talking so well for the first time, and it was not difficult to believe their eyes.

After completing the task of transporting the EVA II, the "Son of Danu" did not leave immediately, but temporarily stayed in the military port of Nerv.

――Since the relationship between Mithril and NERV is not a mere employment relationship, the main purpose of the visit was to discuss various matters of cooperation research with the NERV Technical Department, and to start substantive research work in the shortest possible time.

As the first person in the NERV technology department to propose a comparative study of the AT force field and λ-driver, Chu Xuan has become the general person in charge of this research work, and he will immediately organize the relevant researchers of NERV and "Mithril" in the next month to start this research work that is important and important, and not important and unimportant.
