Doraemon for an imperfect world

"Shinji! Drive Unit-01 back to the ground immediately. You will cover Rei!"

Theoretically, the remaining power in the charging plug should be enough to support the EVA's return to the ground.

"Quick! That's an apostle!"

Akagi Ritsuko shouted, "Activate the AT force field. Don't let it erode Unit-01!"

Doraemon blinked.

What about Unit 00 piloted by Rei Ayanami?

Why do I feel like this person is being treated differently?

Upon hearing this, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami hurried back to the insertion plug.

"But the plug can't be inserted into the body during a power outage."

Maya reminded from the side.

"It's ok!"

Without hesitation, Akagi Ritsuko opened the door and said to the guard not far away, "Shoot at the steel cable inserted into the bolt, now!"

As dense bullets were fired, the steel cable connected to the insertion bolt suddenly broke. Under the action of gravity, the two successfully entered the EVA. The huge body suddenly regained its vitality and ran towards the passage to the ground.

As if she was afraid that Shinji Ikari would disobey orders and stop—because her analysis of the boy's personality had considered this possibility—Akagi Ritsuko also added, "Under the current circumstances, the EVA will be useless if it stays down there. We need to return to the surface first so we can prepare for follow-up measures."

Doraemon looked around at a loss, only to see the red spots spreading rapidly on the wall, and then spreading straight towards the two EVAs.

"All personnel evacuate immediately!"

Akagi Ritsuko continued, "Doraemon! You too, don't touch them!"

"I see!"

Although he didn't know what was going on, Doraemon put on his bamboo dragonfly and flew up quickly. He came to the crowd and took out the Anywhere Door. "Let's go back to the ground first!"

Chapter 295: Bacteria Capture Operation.

Akagi Ritsuko squinted and turned her head away because of the bright light. Then she suddenly put her hand on Maya's shoulder and asked, "Do you remember the distribution of microbial contamination in the protein wall?"

"Eh?"

Maya was startled at first when her shoulders were suddenly held, then blushed slightly under Akagi Ritsuko's close scrutiny and said, "Remember! It was almost in a cone shape, heading straight for the test site. That's why I thought it was strange and reported it to you, Senior."

*The building materials of the NEVR base are not entirely conventional metals, otherwise it would be impossible to support the entire city on a huge void. The key positions use protein walls designed with a protein fiber network structure similar to that in eukaryotic cells. The performance of this material is far superior to conventional buildings, but the disadvantage is that it is easily invaded by microorganisms. Therefore, in most cases, it is combined with conventional metal materials to form a composite structure for sterile isolation.

"Sure enough, the target is EVA?"

Akagi Ritsuko gritted her teeth and said, "Could it be that they want to erode the body as a carrier and then come into contact with it..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out to the person in front of her who was using the Anywhere Door to tell everyone to retreat. Then she turned her head and shouted, "This light is too bright. Can you turn it down a bit?"

Hearing this, Doraemon quickly stopped in mid-air, opened his pocket, grabbed the sun behind his head and stuffed it into his pocket, then couldn't help but blow hard into his small round hands:

"It's so hot... Because this isn't a lamp, there's no way to adjust the brightness."

"Not a lamp?"

Ritsuko Akagi blinked hard, tore a piece of her sleeve with her teeth and wrapped it around a pen. She then took out a lighter from a smoking employee's drawer, lit it, and threw it at the wall for lighting before asking.

"Well, that one is actually a mini sun."

Doraemon said, "But it turns out that not all Angels are of that gigantic size, right?"

"Theoretically, the total number of cells in those bacteria should be about the same as that of the other apostles."

Akagi Ritsuko said, "Don't stop, keep evacuating!"

Doraemon turned his head and saw dense spots rapidly emerging from the wall behind him and then moving downwards. The scene was as chilling as the red spots on the body of a syphilis patient.

Coming to the ground, Misato Katsuragi looked at Doraemon and asked, "Doraemon, do you have any solution for this?"

"I do have a gadget called a virus vacuum cleaner, which should be effective against bacteria, but it won't be able to suck away all the bacteria at once."

Doraemon said with some distress, "If all these bacteria are concentrated in one person, there might be a way."

Hearing this, Akagi Ritsuko quickly asked, "Are you sure?"

Doraemon hesitated for a moment, then shook his head decisively.

I have a feeling that if there is a way, this woman will not hesitate to let someone be used as bait to deliberately get infected by those bacteria.

Seeing Doraemon shaking his head, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She did want to use Unit-00 as bait. After all, even if Rei Ayanami died, she could still be cloned again.

"Maya."

Akagi Ritsuko said with a headache, "Re-report the previous situation."

"Yes, Ritsuko-senpai!"

Maya quickly said, "The microbial infection had already appeared a long time ago, and a large number of holes had appeared within the protein wall. However, the system error message only just now came in, and the eroded area was heading straight towards the test area."

Holes had appeared in the protein wall a long time ago, but there had been no errors before. Did the apostle forge the conductive signal of the protein wall? In other words, it actually has the ability to invade electronic systems. As a creature, the apostle certainly would not be born with this ability. Did it learn it recently?

Just as she was thinking, Rei Ayanami's voice suddenly came from her headphones again:

"Report, Unit 00 is being corroded and is losing its ability to move."

Although she was talking about her own death, Ayanami Rei's voice was calm with almost no fluctuations.

"what happened?"

Akagi Ritsuko asked in surprise.

"While trying to leave the base, the equipment that was supposed to stop working suddenly started up, causing it to slide downwards. I threw Unit-01 out at the critical moment."

The equipment shouldn't be able to start without electricity... Could it be that the electricity is provided by the apostles?

If this is true, then this learning ability is too terrifying.

"Okay, I understand. Report your location."

After learning Rei Ayanami's exact location, Akagi Ritsuko first looked at the unclosed Anywhere Door. She saw the scarlet spots behind the door rapidly fading and moving. She then looked at Doraemon:

"Now those bacterial-shaped apostles have all been concentrated on Unit 00."

Doraemon: ...

"Ok."

It reluctantly took out the virus vacuum cleaner and the replica mirror, and directly copied the vacuum cleaner dozens of times in front of everyone, distributing them to everyone. "This is a vacuum cleaner that can directly suck away pathogens. Later, we will go directly into Unit 00's body and clean them all."

"Um……"

Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but fall into deep thought while holding the virus vacuum cleaner.

How on earth was this thing copied? This doesn't conform to the law of conservation of matter at all.

"You'll open the door next."

Doraemon closed the Anywhere Door and looked at Akagi Ritsuko. "Just think of where Ayanami Rei is and turn the doorknob."

Upon hearing this, Ritsuko Akagi immediately walked forward, first carefully examined the prop in front of her, then gently twisted it, and as the portal opened, the huge Unit 00 lying on the ground suddenly appeared in front of her.

I'm really interested. What exactly is the principle behind this thing?

"Okay, next up is the shrinking lamp!"

Doraemon pulled out a flashlight from his pocket and said, "This allows us to shrink to the size of a cell and then enter the body of Unit-0. The process is very dangerous, so it's understandable that some people don't want to go."

"Don't joke, we are employees of NEVR."

"That's right, how could I possibly back down?"

"Shrinking to the cellular level..."

Akagi Ritsuko's expression couldn't help but twist. Her doctoral degree made her feel indescribably shocked by this understatement, but in the end she nodded gently and said, "I'll go too!"

"Me too!"

Maya quickly pressed against Akagi Ritsuko's body and said, "I want to fight alongside you, senior!"

"OK then."

Seeing that no one wanted to quit, Doraemon first asked everyone to stand on the Unit 00, then he took out the shrinking light and shone it at everyone. After everyone else had become smaller, he turned it around and aimed it at himself. Soon, the whole world was rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes.

Chapter 296 Vaccine.

"Amazing."

One of the employees couldn't help but sigh, "It's actually gotten smaller."

"careful!"

Someone yelled "They're coming!"

Along with this exclamation, a large number of objects with red spheres the size of ping-pong balls inside and translucent black spheres the size of basketballs on the outside quickly crawled towards the crowd.

However, there is only this kind of bacteria here, and I don’t know whether they have all been devoured by the apostle bacteria or for other reasons.

"do not be afraid."

Doraemon said, "Just aim at them and press the switch of the vacuum cleaner."

After saying that, it took the lead and started the vacuum cleaner forward, and a large number of wriggling bacteria were immediately sucked into it.

Seeing this, others quickly pointed the vacuum cleaner at the surroundings. As the switch was pressed, the surrounding bacteria were quickly sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

"That's it."

Doraemon said while holding the vacuum cleaner, "Let's rush to the cockpit to ensure Rei Ayanami's safety, and then we can slowly deal with the other bacteria."

"that."

Maya raised her hand and asked, "If, as Ritsuko-senpai said, the total number of these bacteria is close to the number of body cells in the other apostles, then there are about 600 trillion bacteria. Will it really be enough to vacuum them all up like this?"

"Don't worry, I've already prepared for this."

Doraemon raised the vacuum cleaner in his hand and said, "Anyway, let's go rescue Rei Ayanami first."

As he spoke, the numerous bacteria around him swarmed over again.

That is……

Ritsuko Akagi saw that among the apostle bacteria, there were a few that were obviously different from the others. Some grew cilia and tentacles, while others directly grew suction cups to stick to the ground.

Has it evolved?

It seems to be just random mutations, but these mutations seem to be intended to resist the effect of the virus vacuum cleaner. If there is one that is immune to this machine, perhaps all the bacteria will be transformed into this.

but……

Ok.

Ritsuko Akagi looked at Doraemon with a very complicated expression.

Never mind, it shouldn't be a problem.

To be honest, she felt a little numb all over.

Can the ascension in life level brought about by the Human Instrumentality Project really compare to this technology that completely goes against common sense?

Your so-called parenting robot is even more outrageous than an apostle.

But, for that person...

With an expression of having her worldview refreshed, Ritsuko Akagi silently started the vacuum cleaner. Immediately, all the bacteria, whether they were bacteria with cilia, tentacles or dishes, were sucked into the vacuum cleaner without exception.

But at this moment, many bacteria suddenly entangled together, their cell membranes began to dissolve, and quickly turned into a giant amoeba-like single cell in front of everyone's eyes, with dozens of cell nuclei floating inside.

"Symplasm?"

Ritsuko Akagi said.

The so-called synapses, also known as multinucleated cells, refer to cells in the body that have two or more nuclei.

At this moment, a huge multi-nuclear plasma was looking down at them from above, just like the Shoggoth in the Cthulhu mythology.
