I participated in the development of EVA

It’s just that human beings today can no longer withstand the turmoil, which is why all countries have been seeking stability.

However, they also knew that this incident could be stopped as long as it did not develop to the point where the artificial apostles entered the city. But if Seele was determined to cause unrest, attacks like this one would definitely not stop, and there was a high probability that the current EVA confrontation would become normalized, and things would be very difficult.

At this moment, a strong light flashed on the screen, and then the signal was lost. This change immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At the same time, a document was handed to everyone.

Everyone then realized that when the tanks were deployed earlier, an emergency force also entered the battlefield and buried N2 mines on the path that the artificial apostles must pass.

The current situation is caused by the artificial apostle triggering the n2 mine.

……

At the same time, the group of players who had returned to the city and were about to enter the game felt the aftermath of the N2 mine explosion spreading out. They were stunned for a moment and then couldn't help but sigh.

"This typhoon is quite strong, luckily we got back in time..."

Before he could even finish his words, he felt the ground shaking slightly.

And the sound of something exploding.

Because of the distance, the shock wave, the explosion, and the ground shaking were not very strong, so everyone's first reaction was an earthquake. But the next moment, someone came to the window and looked out, and immediately saw the mushroom cloud rising in the distance. It was only then that everyone realized that the previous strong wind and ground shaking were not typhoons and earthquakes, but something exploded.

"What exploded?"

"n2?"

"Definitely not! There's no war going on right now, so how could it be an N2 explosion? Even if there's a war, the N2 should be deployed towards the city for greater deterrence. Even if there are military facilities there, they wouldn't deploy N2! I think... it's most likely a chemical plant explosion."

"Wouldn't that be even worse? Wouldn't the chemical pollution spread to the city?"

While everyone was discussing this, an official group text message was received on their mobile phones.

[During the experiment of removing the abandoned nuclear power plant, the detonation time was advanced due to improper operation due to human factors...]

After reading the detailed explanation, everyone finally reacted.

The authorities wanted to use N2 explosives to eliminate the flooded nuclear power plant before the second impact. The original plan was to carry out it a week later, but due to improper human operation, the explosion was brought forward.

"Strange, is there a nuclear power plant over there?"

"no?"

"It should be a secret nuclear facility that provides energy to the military base."

"Uh... the typhoon warning issued to us by the Skynet system earlier wasn't because our camping location was within the N2 explosion range, right?"

"should be……"

Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then someone spoke tremblingly.

"It may not just be an explosion, it may also be within the radiation range... Shall we go check our bodies?"

These words touched everyone's heart, and they immediately went to the hospital as a group.

While I was going through the formalities at the hospital, the TV was broadcasting that the person in charge of the nuclear facility decontamination project was bowing and apologizing to the people of the country for the accident.

……

The video signal was restored, and the artificial apostle's body began to melt due to the explosion of a high-yield N2 mine at close range.

The skin and flesh dissolved like a lit candle, flowing down along the curve of the body and finally dripping onto the ground. Both legs had been blown off. After suffering such a severe blow, although the artificial apostle did not die, he temporarily lost the ability to move. Not to mention two or three minutes, even if another hour or two passed, the artificial apostle might not recover.

Looking at the artificial apostle who collapsed on the ground and seemed to have lost his fighting ability, the commander directly changed the tactics of Unit 00.

The intention was not to seize the opportunity to capture the artificial apostle, but to let Unit 0 land early, and then use a portable positron cannon to destroy the artificial apostle from a long distance.

The reason for making such changes.

Of course it was because the artificial apostle had a history of self-destruction.

At this moment, everyone in the tactical department agreed that the artificial apostle, who was now in a dormant state, was not accumulating energy to recover from his injuries, but was accumulating energy and waiting for Unit 00 to approach before self-destructing.

Just as everyone predicted, the artificial apostle exploded the moment the portable positron cannon hit the apostle!

The cross light emitted by the self-detonation is not inferior to that of the high-yield N2 mine, but the aftermath is not as exaggerated as that of the N2 mine, because the power of the artificial apostle's self-detonation is bound to the cross light seed.

707. Planning

"it's over……"

Before the commander finished speaking, a shrill alarm sounded in his ears.

He was a little confused.

"Didn't the target self-destruct?"

"A new target has emerged."

It is still on the coast, but the location is far apart, separated by the entire Japan. It can also be said that the enemy appeared on the northern defense line before, while this time the enemy appeared on the southern defense line.

After just a moment of hesitation, he reacted.

"Stop Him!"

All the conventional ammunition on the northern front was used up, but there was still some left on the southern front.

At the same time, with the previous battle results, the commander immediately dispatched emergency forces to lay N2 mines.

"Unit 1, go to the nearby base and wait for orders. Activate the second generation unit T to fight."

Misato Katsuragi reminded with a frown on her face.

"T1 is not well trained and has not yet mastered the AT force field."

"It doesn't matter. The enemy lacks the means to observe the N2 mines, so T1 only needs to finish off the enemy from a distance."

"What if something unexpected happens?"

"The behemoth EVA on the southern defense line will protect T1 from enemy attacks."

Tactics are not static. Sufficient data has been collected on the northern front before, so the tactical arrangements this time will naturally change accordingly.

After receiving the notice, the mother and daughter pilots of the second-generation T1 aircraft boarded the EVA with trepidation.

The five giant beasts EVA abandoned their axes and raised their shields. At present, their technology has surpassed that in the original novel, but some of their technology has not reached the level in the original novel. For example, in the original novel, high-frequency vibration weapons can tear apart the apostle's AT force field, but at present, high-frequency vibration weapons cannot threaten the AT position of artificial apostles.

Other than that, the shield the Behemoth has is just regular reactive armor.

Even the positron system weapons are the same.

The high-power positron cannon used by the second-generation machine T1 is very different from the original one. In the original work, it needed to draw electricity from all of Japan to charge, but today's maximum-power positron cannon can only carry the energy of a city.

The reason why, like in the original novel, EVA was chosen to control this type of weapon instead of arranging it as a turret.

Of course, it is for flexibility reasons.

The turret is not movable, and even if it is made movable, it is far less flexible than EVA.

While EVAs and weapons and equipment were being transferred to the front line, the first wave of missiles had already been launched.

"The energy level of the enemy that appeared this time is lower than the previous target."

Although they were both artificial apostles, all missiles were intercepted, but this time the power and speed of the artificial apostles' thrown material attacks were slower.

Others may not know, but Fumihiko Ikari understands.

Artificial apostles seem to have two goals, but in fact they are just one goal.

It was all Kaworu Nagisa who was hiding behind the scenes and controlling the third angel's body.

The energy level became low because the previous battle caused Kaworu Nagisa to consume a lot of energy and he has not recovered yet.

In other words, at this stage, Kaworu Nagisa also does not have a finished S2 mechanism.

Ikari Fumihiko looked at the artificial apostle who appeared again and a guess emerged in his mind.

"The meeting ends here for now. Seele's target is the research institute."

Xia Guo was the first to react.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

The other members of parliament were not stupid either and reacted at the same time.

"The first attack was to remove Unit 1 from the research institute, and the second attack was to verify the information on the location of Unit T."

"That should be the case, but..."

"Seele should know that there are artificial gods in the research institute..."

"Do they want to activate the artificial god?"

"What's the point of doing this? Once the artificial god is activated, as long as it is not connected to the virtual game, it will just be a regular EVA."

"They probably planned this operation without knowing this intelligence."

Everyone just talked a little and then fell silent. Miguo opened his mouth and asked for the information that everyone was concerned about.

"What will happen after the artificial god is activated?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"I don't know. The original plan to launch the test was to complete this final step in outer space after the space elevator was built."

He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"They probably want to make a big enough noise to ignite global public opinion and shake the existing order."

Everyone fell silent.

Public opinion may seem insignificant, nothing more than a few curses and protests, and may not really threaten the NERV system, but in fact it is not.

Because the people in this world are all survivors of the Second Impact.

Seele only needs to guide public opinion towards the Second Impact. The mysterious creatures and the Second Impact are enough to make people think a lot and are enough to shake the modern order.

Goose Country shook his head.

"Chairman Ikari, you overlooked one point."

"what?"

"Seele's action this time, creating chaos and subverting the modern order is only their secondary goal. Their real intention should be to target you."

"Coming for me?"

"You are their biggest threat."

Hearing this, Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Seele wanted to lure me out and nail me to death with the Spear of Longinus!

End this era with your own death.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

The reason why Seele took such action was that when he wanted to shut down the virtual game to evade responsibility, the email between Ritsuko Akagi and the Parliament revealed that Ritsuko Akagi had the authority to restart the virtual game. Seele interpreted from this that Ritsuko Akagi had system authority that was no less powerful than his own.

wrong……

Seele should have anticipated this.

Thinking of this, he reacted.

The disappearance of Naoko Akagi was closely related to Seele.

wrong!

To be precise, Seele was behind the scenes pushing the US plan to steal artificial gods. At that time, Naoko Akagi did not choose to inject her soul into the Type 02 prototype. Once she left the core module of the Type 02 prototype, she would be killed by Seele's people through physical means, and she would also die on that day.

Naoko Akagi's choice disrupted Seele's plan and changed the situation at that time.

The reason why he chose to eliminate Naoko Akagi and leave Ritsuko Akagi.

This is because Seele believes that Ritsuko Akagi is easier to control after losing Naoko Akagi and his support.

simply put……

The original incident seemed to be aimed at obtaining artificial gods, but in fact it was an attempt to seize the Three Sages System.

At this moment, he felt angry as if he was being made a fool of, but he could do nothing about it.

He couldn't tell who was actually cooperating with Seele in the meeting. If he made a fuss without knowing the truth, it would only push more people to Seele.

This is why he doesn't want to be a so-called big shot.
