Ultraman: What, I am guarding Ultra Father?

If it weren't for this reason.

Kei Higashino would not agree with Ritsuko Akagi's opinion so easily.

……

Lesson 1, Operations Bureau, Tactical Operations Department.

Looking at the wooden sign nailed to the door panel covered with various old reports.

It was hard for Kei Higashino to imagine that the small warehouse in front of him with the walls covered with various reports was actually the tactical department to which Misato Katsuragi belonged.

"Is everyone here?"

Misato Katsuragi sat behind the tactical table, looking around at the heads of each department.

Aoba Shigeru looked around and said, "Almost everything is here."

"Where's Ritsuko?" Katsuragi Misato looked at Higashino Kei and paused, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you're here."

"Then let's get started."

"Qingye, let's start with you."

Aoba Shigeru adjusted his glasses. "The target is invading directly above us and is drilling into the underground city."

"Based on the records of previous giant appearances, it is speculated that giants will only appear when monsters appear."

"The enemy's target is indeed our NERV headquarters."

Katsuragi Misato sighed, "Then, each department will begin reporting their analysis results to me."

The person in charge of the maintenance department said:

"Based on the camouflage, the destruction of the old Type 12 self-propelled gun, and the battle between the Titans and the Apostles, it is speculated that the target will flee on its own when encountering an enemy that is too powerful to resist.

When facing destructible objects, it will automatically destroy external enemies within a certain range."

"So, we can't use EVA in close combat," Katsuragi Misato thought for a moment and looked at Higashino Kei beside her: "What about the AT position?"

"It still exists, but because of the phase pattern, the data is constantly changing, and the shape rarely remains stable.

Neutralization work and low-power beam weapons are either refracted or phase-shifted, so they can basically be ignored."

Higashino Kei looked at the changing data on the screen, frowned, and looked at Hinata Makoto:

"Unless you use high-powered weapons, it might be enough to cause bricks to fly off your head."

Hinata Cheng shook his head after hearing this: "According to the calculation of Maggie's supercomputer, if we want to use the N2 aerial drilling bomb to penetrate the target's AT position,

The energy from the aerial bomb explosion is enough to destroy the Angels and the entire NERV headquarters."

"Magi No. 2 in Matsushiro also came to the same conclusion,"

Akagi Ritsuko walked in with a report: "The Mihong government and the United Nations are proposing to destroy the target by having NERV headquarters self-destruct."

It was a good idea, but NERV headquarters was destroyed and everyone was out of work.

Unemployment is secondary.

Adam cannot be destroyed. Once the NERV headquarters is destroyed, the next Angel can still come and return, triggering the Third Impact.

Katsuragi Misato said with disgust: "They are just watching the fire from the other side of the river. How dare they say that? Don't they know that if they lose this place, everything will be over?"

"However, this apostle's offense and defense are almost perfect, and he can even escape.

It's a flying fortress, a real nuisance."

"It's really troublesome. When faced with an irresistible attack, they will hide in the phase space."

Even with Bruton's help, Kei Higashino knew that it would not be easy to catch the Thunder Angel in a short period of time.

"So, the current situation is really surrounded by enemies,"

Akagi Ritsuko sighed.

"The situation isn't optimistic," Katsuragi Misato said. "So, what about that troublesome drill?"

The head of the maintenance department said: "The front end of the target has penetrated the second layer of composite armor and is about to invade the third layer."

Hinata Makoto took over the conversation. "Including the 0nd layer temporarily installed today, if all the armor plates are penetrated, the predicted time of reaching the top of the headquarters is 06:54: tomorrow morning."

"We have ten hours and fourteen minutes left."

"Ten hours, time is a bit tight,"

Misato Katsuragi thought of Kei Higashino's words "bricks fly" and turned to look at Shigeru Aoba beside her:

"The Intelligence Department has top-secret information from the War Research Department, right?"

"Huh!?" Aoba Mao was slightly stunned, but still nodded.

……

Strategic Self-Defense Force Tsukuba Research and Technology Headquarters.

Looking at the plaque on the side of the institute's gate, a hint of surprise flashed in Kei Higashino's eyes.

"Ms. Misato, what are we doing..."

"Of course we're here to get the cation cannon," Katsuragi Misato said with a playful smile, "Let's go in."

Kei Higashino glanced at Unit 00 standing on the street behind him, and then looked at the factory building of the research institute.

He thought he was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect Misato to be even more outrageous than him.

Not a moment.

The person in charge of the self-development war was speechless as he looked at the requisition order in his hand and the Unit 00 that had lifted up the roof and carried away the cation cannon and the equipment box.

Why don't you just rob it directly? Why go through the process?

"Let's go. Dongye, you go to Erzishan Fortress to check the progress. I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to coordinate."

Misato Katsuragi said hello and left the person in charge with a graceful back view.

The head of the research department gritted his teeth at the sight.

……

"Five hours of construction time is still too rushed. Can you be flexible?"

Hundreds of mining transport trucks, tens of meters high, passed by with a rumbling sound.

Higashino Kei gestured for one of the cars to stop, and after they had passed the distance, he looked at the foreman beside him and asked, "What did you just say?"

The foreman said in a flattering manner: "I asked if I could..."

Kei Higashino was speechless. It was already such a time, and this guy was still thinking about making profits by reducing costs.

It is often at times like this that we can always see the human-like stars shining brightly.

"Once the Apostles reach the underground headquarters, the Third Impact will be triggered."

"If you want a wife and children and not to see the sun tomorrow, you can do whatever you want."

The foreman looked troubled. “But digging through a mountain in five hours is too difficult.”

"Then call for more people and more mine carts. The air transport department will cooperate fully."

Kei Higashino climbed halfway up the hill, took a look at the construction progress, opened his laptop and started recording, then saw the foreman following him again.

Then he waved his hand to signal the foreman not to disturb him while he was working.

"I'm only responsible for recording progress, analyzing technical difficulties, and reporting them at any time. If you need assistance, you should contact Minister Misato. You've got the wrong person to contact me."

The foreman wanted to say something but stopped himself and had to leave reluctantly.

Chapter 149 148: Discovering the Abnormality

[Already employed as a secondary occupation, highway construction engineer]

Who would have thought that they were just here to check the construction progress.

I inexplicably got a secondary job.

Watching the foreman leave, Kei Higashino sighed in his heart and stood on the hillside looking down.

The Erzishan Fortress was completely destroyed by the excavation of nearly a hundred giant mining excavators.

The originally lush green vegetation on the hillside has been uprooted by a large number of excavators, leaving it completely desolate.

Looking down from above, it seems as if an endless avenue to heaven is right in front of you.

It is hard to imagine that in less than two hours, Erzi Mountain has lost nearly one-third of its mountainside.

"Dongye, what stage has the excavation of the mountain reached? Have we encountered any problems?"

Misato Katsuragi's question came through the headset.

"We've already reached one-third of the way there,"

"It is expected to be completed in four hours, and we estimate that another 20 excavation equipment will be needed to complete the work within the scheduled time," Higashino said.

Katsuragi Misato responded, "I understand. I've already persuaded the Ministry of Internal Affairs and will call the person in charge to discuss matters immediately."

"Remember to receive the energy equipment on site and set up the energy system as soon as possible."

With a learning attitude, Kei Higashino did not refuse. He knew that his future life would be long, so he naturally wanted to experience various professions.

"learn."

……

As evening approached, the clouds in the distance were gradually dyed red by the setting sun.

Standing at the entrance of the Futatsuyama Fortress, one can still hear the buzzing sound from the Apostle Thunder Angel maintaining the AT position in the Third New Tokyo City.

"You'll be in trouble soon," Kei Higashino glared at Thunder Angel from a distance.

As if sensing a great danger, the Thunder Angel above the NERV headquarters gradually turned translucent.

It seems to be on the verge of between fantasy and reality.

He is known for having the strongest attack among the apostles.

So timid.
