"…From the previous combat data and firepower reconnaissance results, the Sixth Apostle will automatically exclude all threats within a certain range and choose the attack order according to the degree of threat. The warning range on the ground is quite wide and far greater than the warning range underground.

But perhaps it is precisely because we cannot attack the Sixth Apostle when we are underground that it does not take us seriously.

In addition, there are four attack modes that the Sixth Apostle has appeared now. The first is the ordinary high-energy particle beam attack, the second is the enhanced high-energy particle beam, and the third can attack hundreds of plural targets at the same time. We estimate that this attack mode can also adjust the strength of the attack based on the target's defense ability, while the fourth is the heavy artillery mode that can perform curved attacks."

In the combat research room of the NERV underground base, Miri Katsurachi and Chu Xuan were listening to the analysis report of the staff department. The technical departments, maintenance and repair departments, logistics departments, and even the foreign affairs departments specializing in dealing with civil and other organizations have sent responsible personnel.

"Where is the AT field of the Sixth Apostle?"

After listening to the report of the General Staff, Miri Katsurachi said nothing, and instead asked the Technical Department for another important information.

"Because the phase pattern of the AT force field of the Sixth Apostle often changes, the appearance is unstable and neutralization is extremely difficult."

Ibuki Maya replied quite frankly that the technical department had nothing worth saying about the Apostle's AT force field.

"In other words... no matter whether you want to engage in a long-range fire storm or a close-range raid, the attack and defense of the Sixth Apostle are simply perfect."

Miri Katsuki touched her nose and said with great confusion, while the next words of the Staff Officer and Ritsuko Akagi made her even more puzzled.

"According to the calculations of the 'Three Sages', conventional laser weapons cannot cause effective damage to the target. If you want to use N2 aviation explosion to break through the target's AT force field, the equivalent required is enough to destroy the NERV headquarters.

The same is true for the use of high-energy particle cannons or Yang Electronic City Cannons. While destroying the Sixth Apostle, it will also cause devastating damage to the ground parts of the Third New Tokyo city.

——And the space warships with this power are all distributed between P.L.A.N.T. and Mars. Perhaps some military organizations on Earth have hidden trump cards, but we don’t have time to ask and wait for their reply one by one. It’s better to use the weapons and equipment we can call to solve the problem.”

"No need to expect other organizations. Now many organizations that are paying attention to the battle between NERV and the Apostles suggest that we give up here - even the inexplicable 'Alien Monster' destroying the NERV headquarters together is what many people are willing to see."

"Watching the fire from the other side of the river, they really dare to say that if they give up here, everything will be over!"

Miri Katsuki's face was very gloomy and she complained hatefully, but Ritsuko Akagi just shrugged disapprovingly. She said in a disrespectful tone:

"After all, it's hard for other organizations to believe that just by letting the newly emerging apostles come into contact with the second apostle, there will be a crisis like the "first impact" that led to the demise of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

Many organizations have pointed out that since the existence of the Second Apostle is so dangerous, we should immediately eliminate the Second Apostle, rather than wait for other apostles to appear before fighting "for the peace of the earth".

Moreover, we cannot explain why the apostles appeared near the Third New Tokyo without warning. If those organizations did not really believe that the "second shock" with unknown principles would have happened, they would not have sat alone in the semi-public process of conducting such dangerous research, and would have joined forces to forcibly ban the NERV organization.

——From this point, we should also be grateful that other organizations do not believe us.”

Riki Akagi's words made Miri Katsurachi feel powerless, but as Riki Akagi said, they felt that others' behavior was unbelievable, and others also felt that their behavior was incomprehensible. However, NERV could not give everyone an explanation that fundamentally conforms to scientific principles for various reasons.

"The Dead Sea Documents" and so on... In the eyes of normal people, they only think it is a joke.

“How much time do we have left?”

"The target's drill bit has penetrated the second layer of armor and is about to invade the third layer, and penetrate all the 22 layers of armor. The predicted time to reach the top of the headquarters is 0:08:14 tomorrow morning. There are still 10 hours and 02 minutes left."

The current situation made Katsura Miri not have time to be depressed. She quickly cleaned up other unnecessary emotions and threw them behind her head, intending to pick them up again after she had passed the moment of life and death in front of her.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic, but fortunately, the damage of the first aircraft is not very serious. After changing the chest armor plate, we can still fight again. We also have the zero aircraft... and a Zagu II."

“…”

Although Miri Katsuki tried to boost everyone's morale, the others did not give her face and all chose to remain silent.

Everyone here knows very well that even two, three or even four EVAs can never destroy the sixth apostle, which is called the fortress of the air, and the combat power of that Taizagu II is even more negligible.

"Just use ultra-long-range sniper to destroy its S2 mechanism when the Sixth Apostle transforms into attack mode - but because of the existence of the AT force field, the sniper can only be the EVA.

The only problem is that even outside the alert range of the Sixth Apostle, if the sniper takes too long to prepare for the first sniper, he is likely to be attacked by it. If the first strike fails, the Sixth Apostle will likely regard anyone holding similar weapons as the first target of attack and will not give us a second chance to snipe."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Chu Xuan, who had not made any noise, finally spoke. After listening to his suggestion, Miri Katsurachi slapped his thigh hard, stood up directly from the seat, and said to Riko Akagi resolutely:

"There is no other way. It seems that we can only take out our 'trump card' in advance!

Riko, I want to apply for the right to use the ‘high-powered Yang Electronic Cannon’ from Commander Ikari, is that okay?"

"That... That's powerful enough, Commander Ikari shouldn't be unwilling to do so, but the problem is that it is still in the trial stage. Although the unfinished self-discipline adjustment part can be replaced by EVA's precision sniper, the problem of energy supply is difficult to solve...

And according to my estimate, the energy supply system that is barely completed with our existing technology may be the same size as a hill and cannot be moved at all, so even if we assemble it temporarily and barely solve the energy supply problem, there is no condition for the test launch.

However, if you don't have a test shot, it is impossible to ensure the accuracy of the first hit. Even if all resources of the "Three Sages" are called for secondary ballistic correction, it is impossible to complete the calculation faster than the counterattack of the Sixth Apostle.

In addition, even if the temporary energy supply system can provide the energy required for the second burst, it is impossible to support the "sequential" of the Yang Electronic Cannon. Perhaps the calculation of the "Three Sages" has been completed, and the energy of the second burst has not been replenished.

This requires us to defend against the strongest counterattack of the Sixth Apostle until the second shot is fired, but relying on our existing armor, we cannot support the energy of the Yang Electronic Cannon to replenish it.

Then our only hope is to bet on the manufacturing process of the Yang Electronic Cannon to the point where the actual ballistics and theoretical ballistics are completely consistent."

Although Riko Akagi did not intend to attack everyone, her words successfully made everyone's face darker - except Chu Xuan.

When Miri Katsuraki's determination to let go was about to collapse into powder, he pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and suggested in a boring voice that was as smooth and unscaling as ever:
Chapter completed!
