Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#742 - The Secret of Unit-01

In addition, it's worth mentioning that when the Eleventh Apostle invaded NERV's computer system, Liang Yue also had the AI Xiaowu go and watch for a while.

While at it, he also copied some of the research on biotechnology and a portion of the confidential intelligence information.

As a result, the surprises weren't that great, and there weren't many noteworthy things.

But thinking about it carefully, it's normal.

In the original plot, the reason why NERV, or its parent organization SEELE, had a series of technologies that could be called black technology was because of several reasons.

Such as humanoid giant combat biological weapons, soul extraction, Apostle restoration embryos, gene cloning, and other technologies.

In addition to the massive investment of funds and resources, the most important thing was the emergence of Apostle materials with completely different development directions, which provided them with the necessary direction and inspiration for research.

Now, those Apostles have almost all been taken into Liang Yue's possession.

Even the experience of piloting EVA to fight is very little~

In this situation, the other party naturally doesn't have the conditions to climb so many technological steps.

Among this intelligence, the only thing that Liang Yue was relatively interested in was probably the research that humans have done on the First Apostle Adam and the Second Apostle Lilith over the years.

After initiating the Second Impact, the First Apostle Adam was actually in an extremely weak state.

Even the Fruit of Life within its body was directly consumed.

It was precisely because of this situation that the humans who later arrived at the White Moon site in Antarctica were able to successfully capture it.

Now, Adam's soul has been injected into the body of the Seventeenth Apostle, Kaworu Nagisa, and merged with it, Adam is Kaworu, and Kaworu is Adam.

But although Kaworu is an Apostle, he doesn't have the Fruit of Life in his body, so that guy's body isn't strong.

However, because of the fusion with Adam's soul, his soul power is quite good, and he can also display the AT Field like other Apostles.

Adam's physical body is still the same as in the original plot, becoming an embryo.

At this time, it has already been sent to Tokyo-3 with Asuka and Kaji.

Now, it has probably been injected into Gendo Ikari's palm, just like in the original plot.

Liang Yue didn't stop it or intercept it halfway, but chose to quietly watch from the sidelines.

As for the Second Apostle Lilith, her current situation is not much better.

Her soul was injected into Rei Ayanami's replica body, and although half of her physical body remains, the Fruit of Life has been transferred away.

Only half of her shell remains, and the Spear of Longinus suppresses her self-healing ability.

Now, her Fruit of Life is in the red sphere on Unit-01's chest.

But the problem is, whether it was intentional or because they didn't have the technology.

When NERV manufactured Unit-01, even though the Fruit of Life was in place, and the physical body was directly from Lilith, it inherently had the special structure of the S2 Engine.

However, Unit-01's S2 Engine has always been in a closed state, and all methods have been exhausted to open it.

Under the circumstances, Yui Ikari, Shinji's mother, Gendo Ikari's wife, a genius scientist, and a ruthless person, actually planned and executed a bold plan on her own.

That is, when piloting Unit-01, she allowed herself to enter the very center where Unit-01's spine connected with the Fruit of Life, artificially merging into Unit-01.

Then, she used her soul to achieve the takeover and connection of the Apostle, thus forming a variant intermediate transmission system.

In this way, at necessary moments, Yui Ikari could serve as a bridge connecting the Fruit of Life and Unit-01, unleashing powerful power.

However, relying solely on the soul of an ordinary human woman like Yui Ikari, this state obviously couldn't last for too long.

Fortunately, as a part of Lilith's physical body, the quality of Unit-01 itself is beyond doubt, and even without the assistance of a matching soul, it can still give birth to some instinctive physical willpower.

Combining the two, it didn't cause much burden on Yui Ikari's soul, but instead had a certain nourishing effect.

It's just that while nourishing, Unit-01's powerful primitive instinct also gave the other party some additional attributes.

“Hello, Mr. Hyuga Haruaki, do you have time now?”

Still that abandoned small village, still that reed marsh and small lakeside.

Although more than half a year has passed, according to the normal return of time, Japan at this time should be in the spring season.

However, due to the impact of the Second Impact more than a decade ago, the current Tokyo-3, and even the entire Japanese archipelago's seasons, have been permanently fixed in the scorching summer.

The restless cicadas are still buzzing non-stop, as if they are about to boil.

Liang Yue is still dressed as he was when he first arrived here: a T-shirt, big shorts, a fisherman's hat on his head, leisurely reclining on a sofa, with his fishing rod still placed in front of him.

He looked at the man next to him, who was dressed as a kind-faced old gentleman, and smiled softly, saying.

“Kozo Fuyutsuki, the vice-commander of the NERV organization is actually visiting in person, is there something I can help you with?”

“I have come presumptuously this time to have a necessary exchange with you regarding the current situation. The abilities you have shown before are truly shocking, but after observing from various angles.

We can roughly determine that you don't seem to have any hostility towards humanity. If possible, I think we should continue to coexist peacefully. Of course, if you have any needs.

You can feel free to bring them up, and we will do our best to meet your requirements.”

As a cunning and experienced wise man, Kozo Fuyutsuki naturally knew how to express his goodwill.

Faced with an unknown powerhouse, especially the kind who can easily kill Apostles in a one-on-one situation, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

If you want to negotiate terms, then you must first express enough sincerity.

That way, even if the negotiations break down later, we should have a chance to survive… …
