Chapter 2717 Performance
Shinji Ikari has been told more than once that his responsibility is to save all of humanity, and that failure will be tragic, so he is under great pressure. This is human nature, after all, everyone requires him not to make a mistake once, but how can a person not make a mistake? If a person does not make a mistake, he is a god.
There is a paradox here. The less you want to make a mistake, the more you will think about failure, and the more pressure you will put on yourself. It is like the contradiction that if you want to forget the elephant, you must think about the elephant. Shinji Ikari does not want to make a mistake, but the consequences of making a mistake are like ghosts and ghosts, which makes him unable to relax at all. He will think that if he fails, everyone will accuse him of being the culprit of human destruction.
Of course, this is actually true. If Shinji Ikari really fails, then everyone will not look at him well.
This is the price of doing practical things. If you do it well, everyone thinks it is natural. If you do it badly, you will be scolded.
Now the sniper operation has begun. A large number of cables behind the Twin Mountains are fully transmitting electricity, and the temperature is rising. The electricity consumed in the transmission process is converted into heat and released. The cooler must run at full capacity to barely stabilize the transmission line.
The electricity is sent up step by step, gathered from all over the country, and finally all input into the capacitor of the cationic sniper rifle. Just pull the trigger to release super strong power.
At the same time, the money-spending attack that weakens the Thunder Angel's AT force field is still going on. A large amount of firepower is released for free, and then destroyed by the Thunder Angel's counterattack.
In this process, the power of the Thunder Angel is also weakened, because the human attack comes from all directions, he must constantly release power to counterattack, sometimes sweeping across a piece with lasers, sometimes turning into a shield to withstand shells, and sometimes having to attack distant artillery positions. The Thunder Angel is very busy.
At this time, Shinji Ikari was still thinking about it, but when the aiming line in the sight overlapped with the target, Shinji Ikari pulled the trigger without hesitation.
However, sniping at such a distance must be closely related to gravity deflection, climate temperature, environmental factors, etc., and a mistake in one link may lead to terrible errors.
In the distance, the people who had nothing to do because of the power outage gathered outside the Third New Tokyo City, watching the massive fireworks show from afar. This fireworks show was more expensive than any other.
Whoosh, when Unit-01 fired a straight laser, everyone thought that day had come early. The light of the laser illuminated the entire city, melting everything on the track, and even the steel transmission tower below could not withstand it and was melted. It can be seen how powerful the power of the whole country is when it is gathered together.
Duran knew that because of the thermal interference around the Thunder Angel, the first shot did not penetrate the enemy's core, so the next Thunder Angel's counterattack would be very fast.
Just when everyone saw the laser penetrate the Thunder Angel and the apostle bleeding heavily, before they had time to cheer, the Thunder Angel's angry counterattack had already been completed.
"Thermal reaction." CIC behind the Twin Mountains only had time to say one sentence, and the first counterattack of the Thunder Angel had already come. The explosion in the air directly overturned Unit-01.
Misato Katsuragi was shocked. She didn't expect that the worst situation would still happen: "What about the positron cannon?" Behind the mountain, the entire command system was not damaged.
"It can still be used."
"Where's Unit-01?"
"It's under construction."
"How's the transmission line?"
"Eighty-seven percent usable, and we're repairing it now." CIC said.
Because they were on the back of the Twin Mountains, the Thunder Angel's attack made the surroundings extremely hot, but it was already hot here, so it didn't have much impact. So now all the workers are working hard to complete the preparations for the second launch.
"Let Unit-00 go." Ikari Gendō thought Unit-01 was no longer usable.
"Please give Shinji a chance." But Misato Katsuragi now insisted on letting Shinji Ikari prove himself. It's not clear what she was thinking at this time. Maybe she sympathized with Shinji Ikari, or maybe she thought that a temporary replacement was not a good idea. In short, she was willing to give Shinji Ikari a chance.
If there was no such opportunity, Shinji Ikari would always be a loser, no one would believe in him anymore, and the boy's self-confidence would be greatly hit.
Ikari Gendō accepted the suggestion, so let his son try again.
Misato Katsuragi said to Shinji Ikari: "Shinji, now we will once again deliver the country's electricity to you, I believe in you." The trust of the elder sister is priceless.
What we are most worried about now is the counterattack of the Thunder Angel, but what we fear will come. CIC found that after the Thunder Angel hit, it concentrated its heat again, and the second stronger counterattack is coming.
And now Unit-01 is not ready yet, and the electricity has not been fully delivered.
"Ayanami, it seems that it is our turn to appear." Duran said that it was finally his turn: "Wow, hahaha, today I will let the world know the power of life mentors."
Seeing Duran so excited, Rei Ayanami could only remind him: "Our mission is to provide cover for the position with a shield." Unit-0's mission is very simple. They have a shield made of aviation heat-resistant materials that can withstand high temperatures of thousands of degrees. However, Rei Ayanami knows that the shield cannot last for a long time, because the attack of the Thunder Angel far exceeds the shield's upper limit.
"Now I am the driver, I don't want you to think, I want me to think." Duran said that he would listen to him now.
The Thunder Angel's attack was coming, and Duran began his performance to show everyone what the battle of super robots was like.
"Let's get excited!" He shouted first.
Ayanami Rei behind Duran felt that her ears were about to be deafened. Why did the teacher shout so loudly? Of course, super robots need voices to control them, and combat power is proportional to voices.
Everyone was stunned when they heard a man's voice in Unit 0. From the bottom of the Twin Mountains to the neurons, everyone was dumbfounded.
At this time, the Thunder Angel's attack had already come, and Unit 01 was still preparing in the heat wave. Shinji Ikari endured the high temperature and raised the heavy sniper rifle. Facing the counterattack of the apostle, the boy had no power to fight back. He only felt that the death light was about to swallow him, but on the verge of death, his eardrums were first destroyed by Duran.
"AT force field is fully open, now it's time to perform." Duran drove Unit 00 and jumped between the death light and Unit 01, but he did not use a shield, but took it with one hand.
"What's going on?" Misato Katsuragi asked who was in Unit-00. Where did the shield prepared for Unit-00 go?
The death ray came into contact with Unit-00. Those who knew the business knew that Unit-00 could not withstand such an attack at all. However, the attack of the Thunder Angel began to turn, as if it turned into a maze in the palm of the hand.
It turned out that Duran had already concentrated the AT force field of Unit-00 in his palm and folded and twisted it to form a macro-atom space structure. Now the death ray of the Thunder Angel has become a string that fills the space. In the end, a huge atom will appear in Duran's hand. Of course, it looks like a huge lightning ball to outsiders.
"Energy has been converted?" Ritsuko Akagi was stunned, and Misato Katsuragi was dumbfounded.
The strength of the Thunder Angel is obvious to all. The pilot on Unit-00 can actually resolve the Thunder Angel's ultimate blow without relying on any external force? Why is this?
At this time, Unit-01 also began to fight back. He wanted to pull the trigger to protect Rei Ayanami. But Duran shot again, raised his other hand and caught Unit-01's attack in the same way.
Unit 00 stood between the Thunder Angel and Unit 01, like a god who stopped fighting, holding all the power of both sides in his hands.
Duran said: "The lives of the apostles are also lives. There is no need for us to continue fighting. We should understand each other."
Everyone who heard this was silent, saying what the hell is this, what is the life of the apostles is also life. If this is true, then human life is not life? It is impossible for humans and apostles to understand each other.
