Chapter 170 Infrastructure Construction Team
Shinji heard the noise coming from outside, rubbed his eyes, and sat up.
When he opened his eyes, he was shocked by what he saw.
Many crystal people gathered in front of Unit 4, watching the wreckage of Unit 4 with flashlights.
They walked around in an orderly manner, either cleaning up the garbage or sorting things out of the ruins.
They spoke a language Shinji couldn't understand, neither Japanese nor English.
The crystal people were well-trained and their movements were uniform. This scene not only made Shinji feel absurd, but also had a kind of pleasing discipline.
They lifted up the fallen counter and sorted and assembled the scattered parts on the ground.
It can be seen that they are cleaning a part of the second branch swallowed by the fish angel. The instruments with intact appearance were selected and placed aside one by one. The crushed and damaged metal shells were disassembled, and the wires, bolts, and iron sheets in them were piled on the ground separately.
The useful things were put aside in different categories, and the useless things were swept into the garbage dump.
"Really? Am I still dreaming?" Shinji muttered to himself, thinking that there must be something wrong with the way he got up.
"This is not a dream." A faint voice came from behind.
Shinji shivered in fear and slowly turned back. Ian laughed and patted Shinji on the shoulder.
Ian had been up for a while. After talking to Captain Hanji, he used the S2 mechanism to create two hundred crystal people, all of whom were from the Paradis Island team.
Among these two hundred people, there are engineers from Paradis Island and elites from the Survey Corps. They are the support group he invited.
The space in the belly of the fish angel is almost the limit for accommodating two hundred people. If there are more, it will become very crowded and even walking will be a problem.
"Mr. Ian, are you a crystal person?" Shinji looked at these moving crystal people and felt a little scared for some reason.
These things that look like people, but are not people, made his back cold.
This scene itself is like a horror movie scene, the air is filled with the smell of blood, there is no natural light in the belly of the fish angel, the dim flashlight shines back and forth, in the hazy halo, one after another translucent crystal people pass by, and even the sound of the sea water surging outside can be heard
Shinji feels like he has been caught on an alien spaceship and is about to be used as a guinea pig for experimentation.
"How is it possible." Ian rubbed his forehead: "Well, how can I tell you, it's quite complicated to explain, Shinji, you can simply understand them as 'robots', these people are my comrades in my hometown, but they can't reach where I am, so I used the S2 mechanism and my own ability to create a body similar to a 'robot' for them that allows them to move here."
"By the way, didn't you drive EVA? In fact, this principle is similar to EVA."
"What is the relationship between crystal people and EVA?" Shinji didn't quite understand.
"EVA is not you, but when you drive EVA, EVA moves according to your will, isn't it?" Ian rubbed Shinji's head: "Crystal people are, to some extent, the same principle as that. My comrades, like me, are all humans who need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, but they are not here. They just 'drive' these crystal people like you drive EVA."
"Is that so?" Shinji seemed to understand.
"Don't worry, they are all good people." Ian smiled: "They are here to help us, you just need to continue to rest, and the adults will do the rest."
As he said, Ian walked out of the "bedroom" with a flashlight.
He came down from the crystal ball he created and came to the front of Unit 4.
Hanji was still sighing at the huge monster in front of him: "How was this made? Why is it broken! Damn, I really want to see this child move!"
After a while of observation just now, she was completely shocked by the wreckage of Unit 4.
Even if it is broken, the circuits and alloy plates inside it all reveal the beauty of science.
Hanji deeply felt how advanced the science and technology of this world is, which is not a field that Paradis Island can reach now.
"If Captain Hanji wants to learn, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Ian said: "Compared to that, do you have any idea about the three-dimensional mobile device?"
"Yes." Hanji nodded: "For the industrial technology of this world, restoring the three-dimensional mobile device is a simple matter. If there are special steel cables and gas fuel, I should be able to try to make it."
Ian touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Because of the Second Impact, there are many ruins under the sea surface of this world. Maybe we can try to search there."
"Even in this world, the Survey Corps is a first-class special forces. As long as the three-dimensional mobile device can be manufactured, it is basically impossible to lose a small-scale encounter."
"It should be some time before the Ninth Apostle appears. I hope to restore the three-dimensional mobile device before then, and then launch a surprise attack on NERV headquarters."
"I know." Hanji: "We will do our best to assist you."
Hanji went to explain the situation to Levi, and Ian came to Ryoji Kaji.
Ryoji Kaji had his laptop in front of him, and the computer was connected to a device.
Kaji is testing the repaired device. On the screen of the laptop, a circle of ripples appears, and the surrounding terrain gradually appears.
"Success!" Kaji Ryoji clenched his fist: "In this way, the radar system of Unit 4 can be used!"
"But... the power is almost used up." Kaji Ryoji looked at the power and sighed.
"Don't worry about the power problem, Mr. Kaji." Ian said: "There will be power soon."
"What are you going to do now?" Kaji Ryoji looked up: "But, at this point, I won't be surprised by anything you do."
Ian smiled but said nothing. He gathered a group of people and quickly started the construction of the power station.
He has done this job hundreds of times on Paradis Island.
The first power station on Paradis Island was designed and built by him. The circuit system and the power transmission system were all planned by him.
The engineers summoned to the Fish Angel have already experienced many battles, and it is a piece of cake to just rub the power station by hand.
Without wasting time, Ian continued to lead the team to dismantle the useful things on Unit 4.
Wires, copper coils, power generation devices.
The wreckage of Unit 4 is a treasure trove. It is equipped with a self-generating system, and the high-end materials used are countless.
Ian and the engineers used these materials to build a power plant near the S2 mechanism.
Their cooperation was quite skilled. Ian input the "construction giant command system" used on Paradis Island into the music angel, allowing the music angel to split into two at a height of about 25 meters to help build the power plant.
Shinji and Ryoji Kaji were dumbfounded watching from the side. Professional group, these four words can be seen in the eyes of the two people.
The engineers cooperated seamlessly and quickly built the framework of the power plant.
In less than half a day, a small power plant was built near the S2 mechanism.
The principle is still thermal power generation.
It is not possible to directly convert the energy of the S2 mechanism into electricity, but Ian can make the S2 mechanism heat up.
He used crystals to seal the S2 mechanism, and then opened a cavity inside the fish angel.
This cavity is right above the S2 mechanism. Outside the cavity, there is a hole that can be closed and opened, similar to the breathing hole of a whale.
This large cavity is connected to the cavity outside and inside S2. He first asked the fish angel to store the seawater from the outside in the cavity, and then opened the lower outlet of the cavity, so that there would be water that could evaporate.
After that, according to the design, the alloy ball storing the S2 mechanism was heated.
The hot S2 mechanism boiled the water, and the steam generated high temperature and high pressure in a closed environment. The steam moved along the pipe and was finally discharged to another cavity, making a simple water circulation system.
This power made the power plant work.
On the other side, Hanji was not idle either. They found many light bulbs.
Originally, those light bulbs were inside the second branch, so the circuits and transformers were basically complete.
She borrowed half of the music angel, hung a light chain on the top of the fish angel's abdomen, and installed the light bulbs one by one on top to make a lighting system.
This job is simpler than making a power plant. Before the power plant officially generates electricity, she has already built the lighting system.
"I have no problem here, the circuit is connected!" Ian used a flashlight to signal Hanji who was sitting on the music angel.
"Okay! Then I'll turn on the switch!" Hanji nodded and pulled the switch.
Zizizizi, the newly generated current flows through the light chain, and the bright white light shines out, illuminating this closed space.
The belly of the fish angel has been transformed by Ian into a very flat appearance. When it is full of light, it feels like a unique research room instead of a huge monster's belly.
On the left, there is the wreckage of Unit 4. It has been fixed by the crystal fence, and even the blood that flows out of it has been cleaned up by the workers.
They used the water in the water circulation system to roughly clean the ground. The blood of EVA has been discharged into the sea.
Although you can still smell a strong smell of blood, there is almost no blood on the ground.
"I didn't expect it to be like this." Kaji Ryoji's eyes swept across the dome of the arc-shaped area.
There were six rows of light strips hanging overhead, and the power station on the S2 mechanism emitted a whistle.
The efficiency of this group of people in infrastructure construction was terrifying. I don't know what kind of hell they were trained in. Even the construction team of NERV could never reach their speed and coordination.
Shinji was so surprised that he couldn't speak. If he hadn't witnessed how the power station and lighting system were built, he would have thought he was dreaming.
A few hours ago, this place was still dark and desolate, but a few hours later, it made Shinji Ikari feel like he had walked into the NERV underground base.
Shinji and Kaji Ryoji certainly couldn't understand how difficult the conditions on Paradis Island were.
They were born in modern times, and Paradis Island was still a medieval-style farming school ten years ago.
The engineers Hanji found were the best and most experienced people on the island. They had personally experienced the electrical revolution and the steam revolution in ten years. Due to the lack of talent, many engineers had multiple jobs. They had built power plants, railways and steam trains, and even warships and airplanes had their footprints.
If you ask about the theory, they may not be able to say one or two, but in terms of practical ability, they are definitely the best in the world.
Ian wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Unexpectedly, after coming to a different world, he still had to go back to his old job.
He felt that the air was a little turbid. Although the space inside the fish angel was large and could store a lot of air, it should have been nearly two days since the three of them entered this place, and the oxygen content had decreased a lot.
Fortunately, Hanji and the others were all crystal people, and they didn't need to breathe, eat, drink, defecate or urinate, otherwise many problems would really not be solved.
He decided to let the fish angel float to the surface for a breath. After explaining to everyone, the fish angel began to float up.
Ryoji Kaji could detect on the radar whether there were other things on the sea surface. The fish angel successfully came to an uninhabited sea area and surfaced. It opened its mouth, took a breath, exchanged breaths with the outside world, and then sank to the bottom of the water again.
The fish angel stayed above the water for no more than ten seconds.
SEELE did not even detect the energy reaction. Humans had no effective means of interference with the world under the sea. Although SEELE knew that the fish angel had escaped into the Pacific Ocean, if the other party did not take the initiative to attack, they could only stare blankly and were completely passive.
"As for that kind of steel cable, I know a substitute." Ryoji Kaji said.
"What?" Ian asked.
He explained the matter of the three-dimensional maneuvering device to Ryoji Kaji, and wanted him to help give some suggestions on where to find gas fuel and high-strength steel cables.
"The arresting cable of the aircraft carrier." Ryoji Kaji said, "It is the material that helps carrier-based aircraft land on the aircraft carrier. It is a polymer technology that is strictly blocked by various countries. The arresting cable can pull a high-speed fighter in three seconds and reduce its speed to zero. Without the arresting cable, the aircraft cannot land on the 200-meter aircraft carrier at all."
"Whether it is toughness or strength, that material should meet your requirements."
"Is there such a thing?" Ian touched his chin.
He was on Paradis Island and had not yet made a real aircraft carrier. He did not expect that there would be such technical requirements.
"By the way, there should be gas fuel on the aircraft carrier." Ian had an idea.
Why make it yourself when there is a ready-made one?
"Are you planning to attack other countries' aircraft carriers?"
"Mr. Jiaji, I found an anecdote on the Internet a few days ago. I wonder if you have heard of it."
"What?"
"Borrowing arrows from a straw boat."
"SEELE must have sent fighter jets and aircraft carriers to search for our location on the sea."
"Although we are penniless, we can 'borrow' some equipment and materials from SEELE."
