"Seal Unit No. 2?" Linton really didn't know what was going on, because he really didn't remember that this happened. But after listening to Misato Katsuragi briefly describing the current situation, he remembered that it was indeed the case.
There is such a thing.
Linton couldn’t remember what he had 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, and the entire base was destroyed. So do they still dare to start the Unit 3 test?
?Of course, Unit 3 cost a lot of money to build, so it can't just be left open, right? So I 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 think of. Misato Katsuragi told him something called the Vatican Agreement. The main content of this agreement is that each country
The number of EVAs you can own is limited, with a maximum of three.
Well, there are already three Units No. 0, No. 1 and No. 2 here at Nippon Benzene. If North America forcefully sends another unit over, it would be a violation of the agreement. So what should we do? We can’t refuse the Magnesium Country.
order, so the Magnesium side asked the Japanese side to seal or abandon one.
As for why the No. 2 unit was sealed, the reason is also very simple, because part of the ownership of the No. 2 unit is still owned by the European branch. Didn’t Ayanami Rei’s synchronization rate be too low to start the Zero unit?
, Logically speaking, the Unit Zero that lost its combat effectiveness should be sealed, but for some reason Ayanami Rei's condition has recovered in the past two days, and she can activate Unit Zero again. Coupled with the issue of command ownership, it was finally decided to seal Unit 2.
machine.
After listening to Misato Katsuragi's description, Linton thought about it for a while. The main problem was to pull Asuka off Unit 2. In the TV version, the person who finally piloted Unit 3 was Shinji Ikari's classmate Toji Suzuhara.
So it has nothing to do with Unit 2, so there is no such thing as 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 own combat power? No wonder Linton didn't pay attention to it at all, so he didn't have any 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 Misato Katsuragi a headache. Taking advantage of her drunkenness, Misato Katsuragi was complaining about the puppet system again. The so-called puppet system simply means using a simulated personality to drive an EVA, which is almost considered artificial AI control to replace the driver.
It sounds pretty good, as it can turn EVA into something similar to a drone, but in fact it's 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 one so far is only active for more than 200 seconds. But Ikari
The commander 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 doesn’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 did not answer, he was also thinking about something. The development of the matter did not change much from the original plot, and Linton could probably have foreseen what would happen next. So the question came, should he stop it?
To be honest, Linton had no idea of stopping it before this. The experiments he arranged were for Asuka to fuse with the apostle to see if the combination with Bengyu could produce any strange reactions.
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. His first reaction after hearing this was to stop it.
If you think about it seriously, this was originally a test plan that you arranged. If you prevent it, what if the apostle doesn't invade Unit 3? Then how can you find this guy? If you can't find the apostle, you won't 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 recuperating for a long time. She died in the final battle.
It's a matter of 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, and looked at Misato Katsuragi opposite,
Linton actually took a bottle of beer from the other party, opened it and started drinking.
"Oh oh oh, it's difficult." Misato Katsuragi said, "Are you worried about anything? Do you want to talk to Sister Misato?"
Miri Katsuragi was already half drunk, and she had no scruples about what she said. Linton said that this guy was also brave enough, and had no defensive attitude in front of him. He drank until he was in a puddle every time.
“When will the testing of Unit 3 begin?” Linton asked.
“Ah, as for Unit 3, it will probably be delivered in the afternoon of 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? At 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 didn’t hear clearly and asked drunkenly.
“I said, at my level, there is nothing worth a headache for me. If I have the ability...”
Before Linton finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from the TV in the living room at the back: "...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.
’s acceptance speech, but of course Linton was sure that this was really Asuna. He looked at the title on the TV station next to him, "The youngest female Nobel Prize winner in the future? What are you making a 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 experiments, it was agreed that they would just build a few devices and then take them back for use. 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 located in
Hakone is the southwest of old Tokyo.
"It's not that she brought some technology here, that means nothing." Asuna replied. Here, Linton was mainly guessing whether she had brought some technology from other worlds here and won a prize or something.
For example, Iron Man's reaction core or something, but Asuna said it wasn't.
“Remember what you said last time about the Poké Ball that can hold people?” Asuna asked.
“Have you really researched this?” Linton asked.
"It should be something similar." Asuna also talked about the situation on her side. Because Linton said before that the research on the Poké Ball only slowed down and did not stop her, so of course she has been doing this research all the time.
prepare.
And the paper she published this time is related to this, called 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.
Put it into a device. Then when you need someone to come out, just take 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 reputation, Asuna didn't need any fame. These people came
On the contrary, she could be used as a tool, so in exchange for signing her name, she asked these people to help her work wholeheartedly. Being interviewed was also one of the requirements of this group of people. After all, what they wanted was their name.
“Robots that win the Nobel Prize, okay.” Linton also raised his forehead and said after hearing this.
