The terrifying defense capability is not brought about by the armor of the machine itself, but the kind of AT position that can reject all attacks, the kind that can resist everything and create an absolute defense field. The defensive performance brought by this AT position is simply The siege by Kira and others was ineffective.
But in contrast, when the AT position is erected for defense, the space around Unit 1 seems to be distorted, making Unit 1 temporarily in another phase and temporarily unable to attack. , this time is very short, so short that ordinary people cannot detect it, but for top pilots like Xiao Ran or Kira, there is no problem at all in noticing this.
As for AT's position, Xiao Ran knew a little but not much. It would be really troublesome to explain it. The standard simple explanation is that this thing is a kind of inner wall that separates oneself from the self and the objective world. A wall appears, which seems to completely separate oneself from the world.
It is also a corrosive wall that can be used not only for defense but also for attack. It seems to have the ability to pollute other people's spirits. Based on this last point, it can also explain the warning brought by telekinetic abilities. Don't think of violent Unit 1 was dragged into the spiritual communication space.
Xiao Ran's eyes moved, and he reflexively glanced at the people on the other side who had the upper hand, taking everything that was happening outside into his eyes at any time.
After looking at the violent Unit 1, Xiao Ran also noticed the problems exposed by attacking Unit 1 under everyone's rationality.
"The AT position is not just a one-sided defense shown in the animation, but a comprehensive defense brought by the absolute field. Whether it is in front or behind, it is like a circle protecting the entire body, but this circle The defensive strength of AT's defensive stance is far inferior to that of a one-sided defensive stance. Once the AT stance is presented in a one-sided form, the concentrated absolute field will also lead to a multiple increase in defensive intensity."
"But... the defense of this kind of AT position is not absolutely invincible, but has an upper limit that it can withstand. Just like PS armor, once the upper limit is exceeded in a short or instant attack, it can still break through the AT position, making it beyond the limit. The upper-limit attack can hit Unit 1."
"Judging from the performance of the game and data, it means having the ability to avoid damage. If the degree of damage immunity is 2,000, then all attacks with less than 2,000 damage will be ineffective, but if it is 2,500 damage, then In the end, the defensive side of the AT position will only have 500."
"This situation should only occur when the defensive side has an AT position and the offensive side does not. However, if both sides have an AT position, it can neutralize the AT positions of both parties and invalidate the AT positions, making all All damage is done to the attacked party."
"The fundamental reason why Unit 1 seems to be unscathed now is that everyone's attack limit has not been reached. But what exactly is this damage-free upper limit determined by? Mental power? The level of the machine? AT stance level?"
"To break through the AT position and cause damage to Unit 1, the easiest way is to use two methods. One is to hit it so fast that the opponent cannot react at all, and the other is to strike with the most powerful attack, but..." Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the battle scene on the screen, and thought to himself: "We have gathered several mechas from Geta, Big Demon, Iron King Kong, New Freedom, New Strike, and New Destiny to face each other head-on. It makes no sense for others to assist from the side." Even the upper limit of the opponent's AT position cannot be broken."
"The reason is that they don't want to hurt the unconscious pilot in Unit 1, Shinji Ikari, so they are constantly trying the defense limits and methods of the AT position, trying to use Minimize the damage and stop the activities of Unit 1 to save the opponent."
Xiao Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with their current actions and choices. This feeling of being able to value their companions was worthy of attention. Even the person driving the EVA was not their companion yet, but he could clearly tell the difference. People are enemies, who are friends, and they are willing to sacrifice everything for their friends.
At some point, their mentality will bring unnecessary turns and troubles to the battle, but it is also because of their mentality of valuing their companions that they can explode into incredible combat power, and even more because of this valuable spirit. Only then could Xiao Ran completely trust them and provide them with combat power without any burden.
Because as long as Xiao Ran does not do anything that threatens the world, as long as Xiao Ran always stands on the side of justice, then these people will never abandon him, but will stand on the same front with him, no matter what kind of enemies they meet, No matter what kind of trouble we encounter, we will face it together with him.
What Xiao Ran needs most is their idea, otherwise how can he rely on these people to help deal with the hostile legion from Prometheus, so he will not preach to them under such circumstances. Something, or forcing them to completely destroy Unit 1.
But the necessary reminder is still necessary. Xiao Ran was able to see some characteristics of AT's stance at the first time, entirely because of his vision that has surpassed that of ordinary pilots, his understanding of EVA and AT's stance, and more The data of the game can be used as a reference. The three conditions plus Xiao Ran's extremely keen observation ability, so he can see through the AT position that protects Unit 1 faster than anyone else and how to deal with it.
He has been paying attention to the situation here because Xiao Ran himself is curious enough about EVA, and also because of the threat warning of telekinesis ability. However, after observing, he came to a conclusion and saw that Kira, Aslan and the others were there. There was no threat when facing Unit 1, so Xiao Ran stopped focusing on them.
But Xiao Ran still reminded them through Ma Liu, that is, about the upper limit of AT stance defense. Although these things are just problems that will be discovered sooner or later for the species who are currently gradually increasing their attack intensity, but there are Xiao Ran's reminder also allowed them to understand the upper limit of defense more intuitively, so that they could suppress the rampaging Unit 1 at a faster speed.
But from the beginning to the end, Xiao Ran had no intention of piloting the machine in person to try out the components of Unit 1. It wasn't because Xiao Ran felt threatened that he didn't go, but simply because even though Unit 1 had revealed That kind of violence would make Xiao Ran feel threatened, but this kind of threat would not bring any trouble to Xiao Ran at all, and he still couldn't completely let go, attack, test or understand the opponent, so Xiao Ran felt that there was no need to attack personally. .
But if it were a new apostle who appeared, Xiao Ran might have turned around and left the bridge.
