I really can't control myself

"Seal Unit No. 2?" Linton really didn't know what was going on, because he really didn't remember that this happened. However, after listening to Misato Katsuragi briefly describing the current situation, he remembered that this was indeed the case.

Linton couldn't remember what he said before. The main reason was that the plot of the theatrical version was not as familiar as the TV version, and this incident was obviously something that only happened in the theatrical version.

The general situation is that North America built Unit 3 and Unit 4, but Unit 4 exploded during the start-up test, destroying the entire base. So do they still dare to start the Unit 3 test? ? Of course, Unit 3 cost a lot of money to build, so we couldn't just leave it unopened, right? So we thought of a way to send it to Nippon Benz for testing and let Nippon Benz operate it.

Then you ask, are Japan's Benefits not afraid of the explosion of Unit 3? Of course they are, but there is nothing they can do about it. Can Japan's Japan refuse the request of the Magnesium Country?

So what is the relationship between the No. 3 unit test and the No. 2 unit being sealed? This is what Linton didn't remember, something Misato Katsuragi told him called the Vatican Agreement. The main content of this agreement is that the number of EVAs each country can own is limited, with a maximum of only three.

Well, Nippon Benzene now has Unit 0, Unit 1 and Unit 2, which is already three units. If North America sends another one by force, it would be a violation of the agreement. What should I do? I couldn't refuse the order of the Magnesium Country, so the Magnesium Country asked the Japanese side to seal or abandon one of them.

As for why Unit 2 was sealed, the reason is also very simple, because part of the ownership of Unit 2 still belongs to the European branch. Originally, Ayanami Rei's synchronization rate was too low to activate Unit Zero. Logically speaking, Unit Zero should have lost its combat effectiveness. However, Ayanami Rei's condition has recovered for some reason in the past two days and she can activate it again. It's machine zero. Coupled with the issue of command ownership, it was finally decided to seal Unit 2.

After listening to Misato Katsuragi's description, Linton probably thought for a moment that the main problem was to pull Asuka off Unit 2. In the TV version, because the person who finally piloted Unit 3 was Shinji Ikari's classmate Toji Suzuhara, he had nothing to do with Unit 2, so there was no mention of Unit 2 being sealed in the TV version.

But in the theatrical version, the person driving Unit 3 was replaced by Asuka, so it seems necessary to pull her off Unit 2. The Vatican Agreement seems to be a tool to solve this problem, so it is not something important. Even if the human race is going to be destroyed, what regulations should we abide by to seal our combat power? No wonder Linton didn't pay attention to it at all, so he didn't have much impression.

And now the person who decides on the test personnel for Unit 3 is naturally Misato Katsuragi, the head of the operations department. Of course, the ones for her to choose from are not just Asuka who does not have an EVA driver. Shinji Ikari and his entire class are all candidates for EVA pilots. You can choose, but naturally the candidate has not yet been decided.

This was not the only thing that gave Katsuragi Misato a headache. Taking advantage of the alcohol, Katsuragi Misato was complaining about the puppet system again. The so-called puppet system simply uses a simulated personality to drive an EVA, which is almost considered artificial AI control to replace the driver. It sounds good, it can turn EVA into something similar to a drone, but in fact it is not that easy to use.

In fact, this thing is still in the testing stage, and most of the EVA cannot be started after that. Even if it is started, the time it can be active is not very long. The longest time it has been active is only more than 200 seconds. But Commander Ikari seems to attach great importance to this technology, and it looks like he wants to switch all future EVAs to this operating mode.

This made Katsuragi Misato very uncomfortable. She didn't really trust this kind of thing in the first place. What's more, she saw the struggles, pain and efforts of several pilots. The emergence of the puppet system seemed to obliterate these. . And as the head of the operations department, she didn't want to command these cold machines at all.

"The puppet system is also ready." Linton nodded slightly.

"Huh? What?" Misato Katsuragi asked a little drunk because she was in a bad mood. She drank too much.

Linton didn't answer. He was also thinking about something. The development of things did not change much from the original plot, and Linton could probably predict what would happen next. So the question is, should I stop it?

To be honest, Linton had no idea of ​​stopping it before this. The experiment he arranged was to let Asuka fuse with the apostle to see if it could produce any strange reactions when combined with Bengyu. Create something like an Arrancar that is a fusion of a Shinigami and a Hollow. Of course, this is the fusion of humans and apostles.

Then why did he think of stopping it now? To be honest, Linton didn't know much, but his first reaction after hearing this was to stop it.

If you think about it seriously, this was originally the test plan that you arranged. If you stop it, what if the apostles don't invade Unit 3? Then how do you find this guy? If you can't find the apostle, you will get less points. Besides, Asuka did not die here in the original plot. Although Linton said that she would not survive a theatrical version, in fact she did not really die. She was just injured and recuperated for a long time. She died in the final battle. It's time.

From an objective point of view, there was no need for him to stop it, but Linton wanted to convince himself, but found that he still had not given up the idea. This made Linton a little upset. Looking at Misato Katsuragi opposite, Linton also took a bottle of beer from the other party, opened it and started drinking.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's very difficult." Misato Katsuragi said, "Are you worried about anything? Do you want to talk to Sister Misato?"

Misato Katsuragi was already half drunk, and she had no scruples about speaking. Linton said that this guy was also very courageous and had no defensive attitude in front of him. He would drink a puddle of mud every time.

"When will the test of Unit 3 start?" Linton asked.

"Ah, as for the No. 3 unit, it will probably be delivered in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and the experiment will start the next day." Misato Katsuragi said, "Ah, I forgot that this is a confidential matter. Don't tell others."

After two sips, Linton suddenly put down the wine bottle and said directly: "Forget it, why are you thinking so much? With my current level, there is no need to worry about so much. No matter how big things happen, I can't handle it. ?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Misato Katsuragi here didn't hear clearly and asked drunkenly.

"I said, at my level, there is nothing worth my headache. If I have the ability..."

Before Linton finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from the TV in the living room behind him: "...the paper jointly published by Tokyo Metropolitan University's Institute of Space Studies and independent researcher Ms. Asuna Yuki won the Purple Ribbon Medal from the Japan Science and Technology Agency. , and is expected to compete for this year's Nobel Prize..."

"What?" Linton looked at the TV screen next to him in confusion, and what appeared on it was Asuna's interview screen.

"...This medal is just my starting point. It will be the spur and motivation for my future work. It will push me to work harder to complete greater research in the future..." Asuna's words seemed to be found in some standard text. acceptance speech, but of course Linton was sure that this was really Asuna. I looked at the title on the TV station next to me. The youngest female Nobel Prize winner in the future? What is this fuss about?

"Huh? This is... your liquid robot? What does it say on it? Nobel...?" The drunk Katsuragi Misato next to her also walked over and looked at the TV and said, "What's going on?"

"I also want to know what's going on." Linton said with a confused look on his face. The last time he saw Asuna seemed to be a week ago. At that time, she was still obediently staying in the research institute and didn't know what she was doing. As for the experiment, it was agreed that we would just build a few devices and take them back for use later. What about the Nobel Prize?

In short, Linton quickly contacted Asuna, who was still receiving the award in Tokyo. Of course, the Tokyo here refers to the real Tokyo, and the third New Tokyo City is actually geographically located in Hakone, which is the southwest of the old Tokyo City.

"It's not like transporting any technology, that's meaningless." Asuna replied. Here, Linton mainly speculated whether she had brought some technology from other worlds here and won an award, such as Iron Man's reaction core or something, but Asuna said that was not the case.

"Remember the elf ball you mentioned last time that can hold people?" Asuna asked.

"Have you really researched this?" Linton asked.

"Probably, something similar." Asuna also talked about the situation on her side. Because Linton said before that the research on the Poké Ball was only slowing down and not stopping her, of course she had been preparing for this research.

The paper she published this time is related to this, and is called an anti-universe, or a research report on the demonstration of negative universe space. In other words, she proved the existence of anti-universe.

What does that have to do with the Poké Ball? To put it simply, everything in the anti-universe exists in the form of quantum. In other words, if people are transformed into a quantum state and stored in the anti-universe space, they can be saved in the anti-universe space. Tucked into a device. Later, when you want to let people out, just get it out from the anti-universe.

Linton was very confused by the theoretical knowledge. What he probably understood was that although the Tokyo Metropolitan University Institute of Space Studies was here to get Asuna's fame, Asuna didn't need any fame. These people came Instead, she could be a tool, so she signed her name in exchange for letting these people work for her wholeheartedly. Being interviewed was also one of the requirements of this group of people. After all, what they wanted was their name.

"Nobel Prize winning robot, okay." Linton said with his forehead raised after hearing this.
