I build nuclear bombs in the giant world

A few days later, NERV headquarters.

Ritsuko was carrying out maintenance work on the EVA. Unit 2 and Unit 1 had no damage, but Unit 0 suffered a lot of corrosion during the battle with the Rain Angels.

During the last battle, Unit Zero had not yet been overhauled.

Although EVA is a biological weapon, it also has many electronic components inside it. In order for it to move successfully, it needs regular maintenance work.

Any part of EVA is extremely expensive. Without SEELE's funds and support, it can only be repaired with spare parts from the headquarters. Ritsuko can only maintain it carefully to prevent EVA from being damaged during the official battle. Something went wrong.

"It's good that Unit 1 and Unit 2 remain as they are. The special armor No. 236 of Unit Zero needs to be replaced." Ritsuko looked at Unit Zero on the other side of the glass and gave the order.

At this time, the automatic door behind her opened, and Ian strode up to her.

"Miss Ritsuko, are you busy now?"

"Okay, Commander, what do you want from me?"

"I have something I want to consult." Ian said, "NERV headquarters has a self-destruct system, right?"

"In order to avoid the worst case scenario, NERV did install a self-destruction system in the Final Dogma Zone." Ritsuko nodded.

"I want to dismantle the self-destruct system, so I hope you can help."

"Tear it down? Now?"

"Is there any difficulty?"

"this"

Ritsuko sighed. She probably knew why Ian wanted to dismantle the self-destruction system. After all, who would want an uncontrollable bomb in their base?

"That's right, Commander, that self-destruction system can be said to be the highest-level system in the entire NERV."

"That is the last insurance created to avoid triggering the third impact. If we cannot prevent the apostles from reaching the final dogma area, then MAGI will make its own judgment and activate the self-destruction system to physically destroy the final dogma area. There is a possibility of avoiding a third impact.”

"Because of this, it is very cumbersome and time-consuming to dismantle it. A total of 1,500 micro N2 mines are installed inside the final dogma area. With our current manpower, we conservatively estimate that we want to completely dismantle all of them. It will take at least a month to dismantle N2 thunderstorms, and that’s even if other matters are completely ignored.”

"What if we let people from the team come to help?" Ian then asked.

"The focus is not on manpower, but on large equipment that can remove insurance, and only a few experienced workers can skillfully operate that equipment. And after the construction of the headquarters was completed, the construction team withdrew, leaving only a few warranty machines. It's a backup machine." Ritsuko answered truthfully.

Her mother was involved in the construction of NERV headquarters. At that time, she was still very young and had a fairly detailed understanding of these aspects.

She was not being alarmist. The level of the security system was really high, and it could not be activated with just personal authority. That instruction was written in the underlying code of MAGI and was the "last hope."

If it senses that someone is tampering with that security system, MAGI will sound an alarm, identifying this as an act of aggression.

Just like last time, when Ian and others invaded the Final Dogma Zone, MAGI released phenolic resin to prevent the invasion. MAGI will definitely take various countermeasures when they dismantle the self-destruction system.

Even Ritsuko couldn't change MAGI's logical behavior in a short time.

In other words, if Ian insists on dismantling the self-destruction system, he will need to power down MAGI, shut it down, and then start the dismantling work for a month.

In the meantime, if the apostles attack or other abnormal situations occur, MAGI will not be able to respond.

Ritsuko Akagi informed Ian of the pros and cons, explaining that it would take a lot of time and manpower to dismantle the self-destruction system.

"So I think there is no need to dismantle the self-destruct system at the moment." Ritsuko concluded: "Even if SEELE launches a cyber attack on the headquarters, we can use Protocol 666 to gain at least 72 hours, enough for us to be invaded in MAGI Previously, the power of the headquarters was cut off.”

After listening to Ritsuko's words, Ian touched his chin and thought for a while.

"Miss Ritsuko, you just said that only special large-scale equipment can dismantle N2 thunderstorms, right? I hope you can take me to see the demonstration." Ian seemed very stubborn about dismantling the self-destruction system.

"Okay, then in ten minutes, the commander will be asked to come to the final dogma area." Ritsuko had no choice but to make arrangements.

All I can say is that this is a layman.

The people above clearly don't understand, but they can come up with all kinds of strange ideas, such as "colorful black" and the like.

Ritsuko felt that it was necessary to spend ten minutes to make Ian realize how troublesome this would be, with a lot of investment and little return.

She summoned the workers, activated the maintenance locomotive that had not been started for a long time, and came to the final dogma area.

The ceiling of the final dogma area is very high, and all N2 thunderstorms are installed in the mezzanine above the ceiling and sealed by individual alloy plates.

Workers used maintenance equipment to hoist the tall tower walls.

Ritsuko shut down MAGI for half an hour and asked workers to manually align the tightened anchor bolts. A total of six alloy plates needed to be removed to see an N2 thunderstorm, and then the fuses and detonators also needed to be operated, which was very cumbersome. .

"Commander, you understand now." Ritsuko said: "Our current work should be to prepare for the next apostles and to guard against SEELE's attack."

"Well, please, Miss Ritsuko." Ian looked up at the high ceiling.

"Then I will go back and continue to repair Unit Zero now." Ritsuko Akagi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had finally convinced Ian, a layman.

"No, Miss Ritsuko, please go and rest for a few days." Ian said,

"Rest? Rest at this time?" Ritsuko asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Ian nodded: "I decided to have the NERV headquarters have a power outage for three days to dismantle all these N2 mines."

"Don't you understand this?" Ritsuko's blood pressure rose.

She really wanted to knock Ian on the head and ask him, does this bomb have any grudge against you?

But her good qualities allowed her to quickly suppress her emotions.

"Commander, at most one-tenth will be demolished in three days." Ritsuko Akagi reminded: "It can't be completely demolished."

"Don't worry, it can be dismantled." Ian smiled.

As everyone knows, when Ritsuko Akagi directed the workers to demonstrate, Hanji had already led the troops to transport the S2 mechanism to the final dogma area.

"Here we come!" Hanji was full of energy and pushed the cart forward.

Levi and others also came, wearing three-dimensional mobile devices.

With the equipment of NERV headquarters, it is no longer difficult to manufacture three-dimensional mobile devices. Hanji even upgraded the equipment. She tentatively added an inflatable backpack to the three-dimensional mobile device, so that it can be used even in places where buildings are not densely packed. , can also fly a small distance with the help of jets, and then eject the hook line.

She has also made changes to the strength and structure of the hook rope, so that it can now be fixed to buildings more easily.

Hanji was very excited. This world is a huge treasure house, inexhaustible and delicious!

She didn't even want to go back. Apart from eating, drinking and having diarrhea every day, she just soaked in this crystal body.

After Hanji arrived, Ian took over the large equipment and explained its principles and operating procedures to his partners.

"Isn't this very simple? It's not very complicated either." Han Ji patted his chest: "We are a professional team."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ian smiled and said, "I will also come to help."

With that said, they started working.

Ritsuko Akagi stared at what was happening in front of her in stunned silence. After confirming the evacuation of personnel and causing a power outage at the NERV headquarters, Ian used the S2 mechanism to create hundreds of crystallized pillars reaching the ceiling in the Final Dogma Zone. The appearance of the crystallized pillars was not smooth. But it's full of potholes.

Those crystal people used the unreasonable equipment around their waists to climb along the rough crystal trees.

Then, they picked up the electric drill in their hands and manually pointed it at the bolt. Sparks were flying from the drill.

Many crystallized people appeared in this space, and they were all able to skillfully use the equipment called "three-dimensional maneuvering device" to perform operations.

Under their labor, the alloy plates were removed at extremely fast speeds and thrown to the ground.

"Why did I forget? The commander is not an ordinary person."

This time the two poles were reversed, and Ritsuko Akagi found that she had become the "layman".

He should have thought of it long ago. Ian was not an ordinary person, and the world he lived in was something Ritsuko had already heard about from Ryoji Kaji.

"Doesn't the other universe feel interesting?"

After a long absence, curiosity emerged in Ritsuko Akagi's heart.

Why did she embark on the path of scientific research in the first place?

Is it your mother’s influence since childhood?

Is it a step-by-step study?

Is it a responsibility arranged for her by society and her superiors?

No. None.

The reason why Ritsuko Akagi became a scholar and embarked on the academic path is simple because she wanted to understand the world and things she didn't know.

Her original curiosity drove her to become the current Dr. Akagi.

She does not find it boring to make EVA, study artificial intelligence MAGI, and analyze apostles. Instead, she enjoys the fun of gaining knowledge.

But after meeting that man and meeting Ikari Yuantang, everything seemed to have changed. She forgot her original intention and was deceived by that guy in a simple way.

In fact, she is just an ignorant little girl when it comes to emotions.

Ritsuko, who concentrated on research, was a blank slate when it came to sexual relations, so he was so easily controlled by Ikari Gendo.

But now, she has once again found the "fun" she was pursuing.

I really want to know what kind of life the people there live, I really want to visit that completely unknown place, and I really want to study this ability to crystallize and mimic the form of an apostle.

There were so many things that she didn't understand. It would be too boring to lose her AT field and become a shapeless "water of life".

At this moment, she changed her mind.

During these three days, she did not go on vacation according to the schedule arranged by Ian, but stayed at Final Dogma to help with the dismantling of N2 thunderstorms.

She got acquainted with a person from another world named Hanji. Although the language communication was not very fluent, the two of them had a good conversation. She talked about EVA, and Hanji talked about giants. Both parties found what the other said was interesting.

In less than three days, Ian's team dismantled all 1,500 micro-N2 particles, loaded them into five large trucks, and handed them over to the self-soldier team to transport them outside the city.

They restarted MAGI. The program for the self-destruction system was retained in the MAGI system, but its entity had been dismantled.

Another week later, Ian received an encrypted text message blessing good governance, and when he deciphered it, there was only one sentence.

"Be careful with JET ALONE and its subsidiary Japan Heavy Chemical Industries Corporation. SEELE has been making moves there recently."

JET ALONE, or JA for short, is a large nuclear-powered humanoid mechanical weapon manufactured in Japan before Asuka arrived in Japan.

After Unit 1 went berserk, JA's production company held a press conference with the intention of seizing NERV's funds and using JA to fight against the apostles instead of EVA.

However, an accident occurred during the demonstration at the press conference. JA lost control and almost blew himself up. It was Misato Katsuragi who acted as the hero and "manually" turned off JA's power source.

In fact, that accident was planned by Ikari Yuantang, with the purpose of suppressing the producers of JA and allowing NERV to monopolize all sources of funds.

After this incident, JA disappeared.

"SEELE wants to test it with JA?"

In the command room, Ritsuko and Misato were discussing.

At the same time, an urgent report was sent by MAGI.

After the commander ordered the self-destruction system to be dismantled, employees discovered something like a stain near the protein wall this morning.

A red alert lit up on the big screen, exactly where the stain was found.

Ritsuko frowned and quickly rushed to the simulation room with Misato.

"How's the situation?"

"A contamination alarm has been issued on the A floor of Σ unit! The 68th protein wall has deteriorated! There is fever!"

"There is also an abnormality in the 6th pipe... The corroded part of the protein wall is multiplying at an explosive rate!"

Misato and Ritsuko were both shocked when they heard this. Ritsuko made a decisive decision: "Block the 6th pipeline immediately!"

The staff on site immediately followed the instructions, but the feedback results made everyone look ugly.

"It's no use...corrosion is spreading along the walls and starting to eat away at more pipes!"

Ritsuko said with a stern expression: "Prepare the laser and fire it when the corrosion invades."

Everyone was nervously waiting for the arrival of the unknown corrosion, and the laser successfully hit the corroded part... However, it was ineffective because a very familiar barrier blocked all the lasers!

"AT force field?!" Misato's eyes widened, "How is this possible?"

The moment the AT force field appeared, MAGI gave an analysis report - the pattern was blue, there was no doubt that it was an apostle!

"Is this... the eleventh apostle?" Ritsuko was stunned. It was another apostle in a new form.

"I'll inform the commander!" Misato said.

Ritsuko stayed in the laboratory to investigate the Eleventh Apostle. She was surprised to find that the Apostle had begun to erode the artificial intelligence MAGI!

If MAGI is controlled by the Eleventh Apostle, it will be over, which is equivalent to the entire base falling into its hands.

However, Ritsuko realized something again at this time.

The base's self-destruction system had been dismantled a few days ago.

Even if MAGI is controlled, what can it do now?

After thinking about it carefully, she found that what MAGI could do was very limited. It was just an auxiliary system and could not attack humans through the computer screen.

"Is this also part of your calculation? Commander." Ritsuko Akagi let out a long breath.
