I participated in the development of EVA

The metal ball made up of satellite debris has entered the atmosphere with great kinetic energy.

Then, to his surprise, the metal ball began to accelerate continuously.

This is?

After a moment of hesitation, he reacted.

It's gravity!

After the AT force field is deployed, it can transfer any force acting on its surface. Normally, gravity is also included in it. However, repeated studies on the AT force field have long proved that gravity is not included. Because after EVA fully deployed the AT force field, there was no floating phenomenon, and it was still bound to the ground by gravity.

In this case, the mainstream definition is that the essence of gravity is not a force but a space-time arc.

Others believe that this is because EVA's AT force field is too weak to transfer gravity.

Then there is idealism, which believes that it is the inherent cognition of human drivers that binds EVA to the earth.

As the metal ball breaks through the atmosphere.

The artificial apostles and nervs all noticed this anomaly and looked up at the sky.

A small sun appeared there.

This is not the result of high temperature generated by friction with the atmosphere that causes the metal ball to turn into a fireball, but a phenomenon caused by the transfer of the at force field when it comes into contact with the atmosphere.

The artificial apostle used the same trick again, destroying the metal ball like intercepting a missile.

however……

The unstoppable material throw collided with the metal ball that looked like a small sun, without causing any ripples at all.

The thrown matter and the surrounding atmosphere were transferred without any pressure by the AT force field, leaving only four darker red rays. Seeing this, the artificial apostle threw matter frantically, but there was still no change. Under this attack, the artificial apostle was as weak as the giant beast EVA, like a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this moment, not only the artificial apostles were terrified, but everyone as well!

Because according to the estimation of the Three Sages System, if this attack continues to accelerate like this, without the atmospheric barrier to reduce the kinetic energy, it will not just be the artificial apostles that will be destroyed...

At least there is still half of Japan! And a tsunami that affects hemisphere!

This is just a rough quick calculation.

If a chain reaction is triggered, the entire Japan will sink, and it is not impossible that the whole world will suffer as a result.

At this moment, the same thought popped up in people's minds.

The Third Impact may be coming!

The commander was the first to react.

"Contact Minister Ikari! Quickly... make him stop this attack!!"

Everyone came to their senses at this moment and hurriedly got busy, but they were embarrassed to find that they had no way to contact Ikari Fumihiko.

An operator with a deathly pale face expressed what everyone was thinking.

"This kind of kinetic attack... is there really a way to stop it!?"

Katsuragi Misato calmed down after she came back to her senses from her panic.

"Don't panic! Minister Ikari used this weapon to destroy the enemy, not to trigger a third impact."

They don't have a way to contact Fumihiko Ikari, but the NERV Council members do.

The members of parliament immediately began to contact Fumihiko Ikari.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari really wanted to say: Don’t panic, let me panic for a while.

The calculation results of the Three Sages System were also fed back to him.

Moreover, with the current power of the Type 02 prototype, it is also unable to withstand the aftermath of this attack.

"Ritsuko..."

Akagi Ritsuko responded in a calm tone.

"It doesn't matter. This attack will not cause damage to the Earth."

Hearing this, Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment.

The scene in the new movie flashed through my mind, where Unit-01 awakened in order to save the swallowed Rei Ayanami, but was then pierced through by the Spear of Longinus by Kaworu Nagisa, interrupting its awakening.

At the same time, he also calmed down. The power of the at force field cannot be viewed with common sense.

Such a huge kinetic energy...

Maybe it can be contained?

Only then did he get through to the parliament.

"Minister Ikari, please stop..."

After turning on the expressionless mode, he finally spoke back.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

"But……"

"I will not joke about my life and the lives of all mankind."

"..."

Parliament was convinced, or, as it were, now compelled to believe.

Because it is too late to issue an emergency evacuation notice now.

The artificial apostle realized that this attack could not be intercepted, and fell silent. He seemed to be standing there waiting for the attack to fall, but in fact he was accumulating energy to self-destruct.

however……

With the initial speed and gravitational amplification given by the backup machine, the metal ball has reached its fastest speed.

He didn't even have time to self-destruct before being hit directly by the attack.

The at force field almost collapsed at the touch of a button. After being hit by the artificial apostle, it was not directly pierced through, but its huge body exploded like a watermelon that was hit hard.

The metal ball fell on top after tearing the artificial apostle into pieces. Although it also caused damage, its power was completely negligible.

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, and then burst into cheers for surviving the disaster.

The scholars who were watching the battle at the same time also reacted at this time.

The mass-velocity formula does not apply to at force fields.

wrong!

It's not that it's not adapted, it's just that the effect is very small.

In other words, this attack was essentially just a collision between at force fields and did not have the power of kinetic energy.

After seeing this explanation given by the academic community, people who were unaware of the existence of the space backup machine also realized at this moment that there was an EVA in outer space above their heads.

Ordinary people didn't think much about it. To them, the stronger the power in humans' hands, the greater the probability of destroying the apostles and preventing the third impact.

Scholars are somewhat bald.

Why can the AT force field be transmitted from outer space to the earth through material media after it is separated from the EVA?

This scene went against their understanding of the AT force field.

The members of parliament also recalled the backup machine floating in outer space.

As Ikari Fumihiko breathed a sigh of relief, an idea popped into his mind.

“This is the space elevator!”

Ritsuko Akagi was a little confused, obviously not following his train of thought.

"ah????"

"Using the method just now, we can throw outer space matter to the earth without any damage. Hmm... That's right! Can the metal ball on the earth still generate an AT force field? If it can, uh! No... Even if it can be reused, we still have to solve the gravity problem, which means that this is a one-way elevator.

But overall, this is a step forward for humanity to enter outer space.”

Although Ritsuko Akagi understood, she was still a little confused.

"what???"

20:37:09

710. Cosmic Miner God?

"How do you associate this method of attack with the space elevator?"

In response to Ritsuko Akagi's confusing question, Fumihiko Ikari gave a simple explanation.

"Any normal person can relate to this, right?"

At this moment, Ritsuko Akagi really wanted to say that it is impossible for a normal person to connect the two together.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Because she thought about the EVA reactor and the giant EVA engineering work.

This kind of thinking is indeed in line with Fumihiko Ikari's style of doing things.

If an artificial god is thrown into a meteorite zone to work as a space miner someday... well! If that happens, we will still be shocked.

"Okay... I was making a fuss."

"Oh, by the way, is there any limitation to this ability to attach the AT force field to an object?"

"There is no limit. As long as the energy is not exhausted, it can be maintained forever."

"Okay... never mind——"

Fumihiko Ikari originally wanted to use this ability to lead humans into the AT force field era, but he realized it halfway through his words.

Ritsuko Akagi is a human being, not a computer.

It is impossible to control this power twenty-four hours a day, and it is even more impossible to control too many devices at the same time like a computer.

Being a space transfer station is already Ritsuko Akagi... it is the limit of human beings.

Ritsuko Akagi obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so she immediately changed the subject.

"Are there any more enemies?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"It should be gone. Just stay here for a while."

No matter what the real intention of Seele's action was, there was no room for it in the current situation. Artificial apostles alone could not break through the defense of the backup machine. Without physical evidence such as artificial apostles and EVA, it would be difficult to stir up any waves by spreading some rumors in the virtual game through artificial means.

Akagi Ritsuko responded nervously.

"Ah."

They are on standby.

The command center has arranged for the site personnel to cooperate with the unmanned equipment to recover the genetic samples of the artificial apostles, as well as...

The wreckage of thirty behemoth EVAs.

The NERV Council also sent a meeting invitation to Fumihiko Ikari.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Ikari Fumihiko spoke first.

"The apostle's affairs have been made public. You should make some plans. You can't let a stinky rat like Seele seize the high ground of public opinion."

After speaking, he added another sentence.

"The second impact was caused by Seele discovering Apostle No. 1 during his Antarctic expedition. They stole the power of the Titans and caused it."

No one took it seriously and just thought that Fumihiko Ikari was throwing mud at Seele.

After a moment's silence, Xia Guo spoke up and expressed his objection.

"The topic of a second shock is too sensitive. If it is linked to a second shock, it will cause global panic."

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari had no objection, he continued to express his views.

"I think we can interpret the apostles as ancient creatures, so that ordinary people can understand them as large animals with larger bodies. We can downplay the danger of the apostles as much as possible, so that people can accept it more easily. After people have digested this news, we can gradually introduce the concept of apostles. This way, we can suppress the riots to a minimum."

After carefully thinking about Xia Guo's suggestion, Ikari Fumihiko nodded in agreement.

"I just want the result, you guys can handle the process."
