Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

Xiao Yun brought his people to join NERV and was assigned to an independent area in NERV's entire underground base.

NERV's underground base is much larger than imagined, and the base is not just composed of that pyramid-like building. Even though the sunlight looks extremely bright in this dim underworld, people still feel depressed in such a space.

The stationing and living area where Xiao Yun was assigned was located near the underground lake, in an eight-story building with a good environment. It nominally belonged to NERV, but Xiao Yun knew that Ikari Gendō was clearly throwing this place to him to do whatever he wanted with, as long as he could not enter the pyramid-like headquarters without permission.

As for Unit-01, it was taken back. The core was eaten by Unit-01 and it seemed to have fallen into some kind of hibernation and no longer responded. However, based on the information Xiao Yun obtained at last, Unit-01 gained great benefits after eating the core. As long as it was used properly, it could maintain action for a long time even without being plugged in. It was just that Xiao Yun didn't understand what was going on with the chicken wings.

As for the soul that was born in the body of Unit-01, it is a fool. It is as white as a piece of blank paper and has nothing but instincts. It is weak and powerless and can do nothing but roar. The soul of Yui Ikari is not much different, with only instincts left. It is seriously affected by Unit-01 itself and is also very fragile. Moreover, it is abnormal because it has been affected by the body of an apostle like Unit-01 for too long.

This makes sense. If Ikari Yui's soul is really powerful, then why would she need a pilot? Ikari Yui herself can control the body of Unit-01 to deal with the angels. Why is it that only when Ikari Shinji encounters danger can Unit-01 go berserk and in such a crazy state? Now it makes sense that Unit-01 has two souls in its body.

Ikari Yui's soul only wants to protect Ikari Shinji, while Unit-01's own soul is that kind of crazy primitive beast that devours and destroys everything.

However, the situation of these two souls is now much worse than before. Of course, that is definitely a good thing for Xiao Yun, because the two souls have been given special marks by Xiao Yun's GEASS.

After Xiao Yun moved into the building arranged by NERV, Ikari Gendō didn't ask about anything for several days. When Xiao Yun first moved into the building, he and his team conducted a thorough inspection of the building, found all the messy surveillance cameras inside and threw them outside. Then Ikari Gendō never appeared in front of Xiao Yun and didn't care at all. However, they still provided the things that were required for the job, and someone would come to deliver things to Xiao Yun and his group every day.

Ikari Gendō didn't want Xiao Yun and the others to have more contact with Unit-01 over there, nor did he want Xiao Yun to know more about NERV. However, he couldn't stop Xiao Yun from sending people over there every day. He had already figured out the situation of the main building of the NERV base and even the entire underground space.

Moreover, No. 3 and others came back and told Xiao Yun that the floor of the base was undergoing a major renovation, and the corridors were also being renovated. It seemed that gravity sensors were being installed on the ground, and some kind of detection system was being added to the walls. Unit- was now being inspected every day, and the little chicken wings at the back were almost plucked off. If Unit- hadn't suddenly roared out and looked like it was about to go berserk at any time to scare NERV, the pair of little chicken wings that had grown with great difficulty would have been lost.

For this, Xiao Yun had to give a thumbs up to Ikari Gendō. This was a really great idea, but it was all in vain.

No matter what is installed, as long as it is a front-end product, it must have control systems, feedback systems and so on. It does not deal with these devices and directly controls everything from the terminal. NERV's firewall technology is still unable to prevent their intrusion. They have been in and out so many times. The main computer of the base has been implanted with a quantum virus. However, NERV's computer is quite interesting. It is a personality simulation computer composed of three parts. It is a computer system that implants human thinking logic and patterns.

However, there is still no resistance to quantum viruses and higher-level technology.

Every day, people come and go where Xiao Yun lives, delivering this and that. As long as Xiao Yun makes a request, they will try their best to meet it, but everyone knows that this is just a way to keep an eye on Xiao Yun and his movements. But there is still no chance to confirm the appearance of anyone other than Xiao Yun, especially the three alien female warriors Ling Yi, Ling Er, and Ling Shan, who rarely have the opportunity to take off their helmets and be seen by others.

In addition to these three, there are Ling Si, Ling Wu and five other names given by Xiao Yunqi. 12345 is simple and clear. The five of them are very different from normal humans, and they have gorgeous looks so they cannot be seen by others easily, otherwise problems will easily arise.

No one knew what Ikari Gendo was thinking, but Xiao Yun was happy to accept this temporary peace. He had nothing to worry about anyway. As long as the apostle appeared and Ayanami Rei, the three-no girl, could not be dealt with, sooner or later she would come to him for help.

Xiao Yun also tried to open the door, but there was absolutely no response at all. Not to mention a small reaction like in World No. 2, there was absolutely nothing. It was as if Xiao Yun was waving at the air and not even a ripple appeared.

This situation is only because the resistance in this world is greater. The inexplicable forces in this world have become the resistance for Xiao Yun to open the door. If this situation occurs, Xiao Yun suspects that it is very likely that it may only take half a day or a day for World 0 to contact this world. It is estimated that at least half a year has passed in this world.

And it will take him more than half a year to open the door.

However, this world is quite interesting. Xiao Yun feels that he will not be restless if he stays here for a year or two. Moreover, this world is extremely valuable and it is worth it even if he spends two years here. Xiao Yun found a lot of interesting things in the stolen information. Unfortunately, he could not find any information about the person behind Ikari Gendō.

But some of the information is quite interesting, including some about the origin of this world, the first impact, the second impact, super-ancient ruins, etc. It is not very clear and many parts have been deleted artificially, making it difficult to find in NERV's main computer data.

However, the situation in this world is really complicated. First, it experienced the Second Impact and then the World War. The blood-red ocean replaced the original blue sea and deprived the ocean of all life. There is also a secret organization that even Xiao Yun doesn't know where it is hiding. This is the mastermind behind the human instrumentality plan that he and Ikari Gendō want to implement.

In the island country where NERV's headquarters is located, the situation is now even worse. Through the relevant information in the data, it can be confirmed that this country has lost most of its sovereignty, but there are also people who do not want the current situation to continue and are secretly resisting. This is a good opportunity for Xiao Yun. Of course, it is not only the island country, but also many other countries. There are too many people who are dissatisfied with NERV and the United Nations, but due to the current situation and for the sake of stability, they have to make certain concessions.

Those who explicitly oppose NERV in all regions are recorded in NERV's computers. Even many people who act secretly are also under constant surveillance. All their actions are under the control of NERV, or in other words, under the control of the secret organization behind NERV. It's scary.

NERV is a very terrifying giant in this world, but no one knows the true face of this organization.

Xiao Yun can treat some information as a story, but often these wonderful stories are cut off from the beginning and the end, and many relationships in the middle are missing. Xiao Yun feels very uncomfortable watching this, and he wants to catch the person who blackened large areas of the information and beat him up. Damn, this kind of information should just not be filed, and after filing it, there are still large areas of black stuff. Isn't this messing with people's mentality?

However, Xiao Yun also found out from these materials some reasons why EVA has such high requirements for drivers.

EVA has a high-intensity mental pollution ability, which is something that an apostle is born with. Visual contact may not have any effect, but the operation of EVA must be mentally synchronized to be able to freely use the AT force field or even more flexible operations. However, ordinary humans cannot withstand the mental pressure brought by the apostles. Even the spirit and soul of an artificial apostle are so weak in Xiao Yun's eyes.

The higher the synchronization rate, the stronger the power that can be exerted, but correspondingly, the connection with the apostles will become closer and the impact will become greater.

There are only a few types of people who can operate EVA, with specific biological characteristics and strong mental conditions. There are also several conditions that have been summarized, such as children born at a specific time. However, it is only under this condition that it is easier to find people who can drive EVA, not that all children born in a specific time period have the ability to drive EVA.

The second is that just like Shinji Ikari, he was affected by the souls of his relatives. This is the case with Shinji Ikari and Asuka. The reason why Shinji Ikari was not affected at all was purely because Yui Ikari resisted this influence. The same is true for Asuka, but only a part of Asuka's mother's soul was swallowed by Unit 02, so Asuka herself also needs to bear part of the influence from EVA. As the frequency deepens and the number of driving increases, this influence will become more and more obvious.

The third type is pure individual ability that can be immune to this influence, such as Ayanami Rei and Angel Kaworu Nagisa.

Xiao Yun only inferred the large areas of blackening in the information after adding a little of his own insights based on the visible parts. It's hard to say whether it's right or not, but at least the logic is self-consistent and can be explained away. As long as it can be explained away, it's fine. Why do you have to be so picky about knowing so many things that you shouldn't know?

Throwing the computer aside, Xiao Yun leaned on the sofa with his hands open, his head tilted back as if looking at the ceiling. However, his gaze was quite deep, as if he was looking at a higher place.

"Zero, can you escape from the current gravity environment and enter the universe?"

Ling Yi, who was standing quietly nearby, turned to look at Xiao Yun: "Master, Ling Yi can't do it."

"Oh, forget it." Xiao Yun responded indifferently, and then asked: "If I ask you to deal with the apostle, do you have a way?"

Ling Yi seemed to think about it seriously: "If it was just the apostle that the master eliminated before, I might be able to do it, but the barrier called AT force field is difficult to break. I can only rely on mobility to find opportunities to hit the core. If my armor level can be improved by two levels, I should be able to fight head-on."

The two levels were in direct confrontation. Xiao Yun felt that if he drove his special machine, he would be able to confront them head-on and even tear through the AT barrier.

The armor used by alien races is indeed divided into different levels, and this has long been confirmed.

There are six levels in total: Emperor, King, General, Commander, Team, and Soldier. This is roughly what it means when translated into foreign languages. It can also be interpreted as SS, S, A, B, C, and D.

Lingyi's level is the third stage commander level, which is one level higher than the captain level, otherwise Lingyi would not be Lingyi. In the entire elf team, Lingyi and Linger are at this level, and the others are all captain level. Among them, Lingyi is the strongest so she is the captain.

Two levels higher is the king level. Xiao Yun has never encountered aliens of this level before, and the entire federation has never seen one in the entire battle on the Alliance Star for so long. This also indirectly shows that the aliens on the other side are more or less teasing the federation on this side.

However, although she is at the commander-level, Ling Yi does not know enough about the overall strength of the alien race, and does not know many things. She only knows that their race has an extremely strict hierarchy and a very strict system. Everyone has their own responsibilities in the ethnic social system. Soldiers are soldiers, researchers are researchers, and breeders are breeders. Although there is a normal social structure, information is relatively closed and not circulated enough. They have a normal life and holidays, but they must always abide by fixed rules, and even their marriage partners need to be designated.

The ones attacking the Alliance Star now are just a small branch of the entire race, and they are not clear about the overall plan of the alien race. But based on what we know, there is still room for them to lead the alien race, but the strength of their branch is insufficient.

Under the influence of GEASS, this girl is completely loyal to Xiao Yun. But based on Xiao Yun's understanding, the entire elf team is white lotus. This is not a derogatory term but a compliment. Except for combat, most of other things are blank slate and terrifyingly simple. The same goes for those male aliens. Their spirits and thoughts are so pure that it is incredible.

However, there are only two reasons why the aliens did not launch a large-scale attack: internal reasons and external reasons. As for the internal reasons, Xiao Yun guessed that the aliens were probably scared by the bullying of the previous super-ancient civilization, so they are still shrinking and dare not gather more terrifying forces to attack World 0. It is also possible that the various branches are competitive and guard against each other, and they dare not make any rash moves in their own world until the situation here stabilizes.

The external reason is that they are waiting for something, but as for what they are waiting for, Xiao Yun is really hard to say.
