I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Yui was somewhat surprised by Ikari Fumihiko's straightforward answer. She had been considering whether to replace Ikari Fumihiko. It was not because Ikari Fumihiko was not capable enough. On the contrary, judging from his performance today, Ikari Fumihiko was definitely capable enough. It was just that Ikari Fumihiko had too deep feelings for Ayanami Rei, and she was worried that Ikari Fumihiko would be too lenient in future training.

"That's fine. Go check on the little guy first, and then we can discuss and work out the future training methods."

"it is good."

At this time, Unit 0 returns to its original position, the restraint closes, and the insertion bolt pops out.

As the gate opened, Rei Ayanami's petite body appeared in front of everyone, and the medical team immediately surrounded her and began to examine her body.

Fumihiko Ikari mixed in the medical team and asked with concern.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

"Li is fine, I just feel a little tired. Li wants to rest for a while."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"Then take a good rest."

With the care of a professional medical team, Fumihiko Ikari was not worried about Rei Ayanami's safety. However, when he saw Rei Ayanami sleeping exhaustedly on the hospital bed, he was still a little worried and called Megumi Ibuki over.

"Emi, follow and keep an eye on it. Let me know if anything happens."

"You really know how to order people around. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with here."

Just as Ikari Fumihiko was thinking about who to send, a weak voice came from the side.

"Um, Team Leader Wen Yan, what should I do?"

Fumihiko Ikari looked in the direction of the voice. Although he hadn't seen her for several months, he recognized who she was just by looking at the shrine maiden costume.

Part-time shrine maiden Yae Kiriko.

Seeing Yae Kiriko, both Ikari Fumihiko and Ibuki Emi felt a little embarrassed.

Uh--

How could I forget about this person?

The shrine maiden's blessing was a project that Fumihiko Ikari temporarily joined, and it was not recorded in the experimental process. They were so busy just now that they both forgot about it.

Ikari Fumihiko looked at Ibuki Emi, and Ibuki Emi also looked at Ikari Fumihiko at the same time.

Fumihiko Ikari had no choice but to make up a story.

"Does the priest understand?"

Yae Kiriko breathed a sigh of relief that she was finally remembered, but she lacked confidence in the priesthood. After all, she was not a professional shrine maiden, but had only worked part-time as a shrine maiden in college. At the same time, this made her very regretful. If she had known that she would have this experience, she would never have worked part-time as a shrine maiden in college.

She quit her part-time job as a shrine maiden because she felt it was too embarrassing to stand in the crowd wearing a shrine maiden's costume.

"Well, I probably understand a little bit..."

"Then let's offer sacrifice."

Ibuki Emi spoke up from the side.

“Isn’t this too superstitious?”

"Why are you so superstitious? There's nothing wrong with regarding Unit-00 as the patron saint of mankind, right?!"

"Forget it, whatever you want—"

Ibuki Emi didn't know how to refute, so she changed the subject.

"I'll arrange for someone to follow the medical team to observe the little guy's condition. You go to the meeting."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"If you really think I'm working too hard, don't give me more work."

Ikari Fumihiko smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ibuki Emi took Yae Kiriko to discuss the sacrifice, while Ikari Fumihiko followed Ikari Yui and Akagi Naoko to the R&D department meeting room.

As soon as Ikari Fumihiko walked in, he was surprised to find that the conference room was already full of people.

After taking a look at the video playing on the big screen in the conference room, I realized that, on the surface, only Ikari Yui and Akagi Naoko were paying attention to the launch of Unit 00. That was because only these two people were qualified enough to go to the scene. Apart from the group of mysterious senior executives, the heads of other departments were all paying attention to this experiment.

Ensure that if any problem occurs in any link during the experiment, personnel can be deployed to solve the problem at the first time.

When the three of them walked into the conference room, the originally lively atmosphere instantly froze, and everyone looked at Ikari Fumihiko and the other two with burning eyes.

Some exaggerated people even shed tears.

Nearly three years have passed since the EVA project was launched. For a project of this scale, this period of time may not seem like much, but everyone has put in too much effort and sacrificed too much in these three years, and has been carrying on under the despair of the Third Impact. Now that EVA has finally been produced, how can everyone not be excited.

Just as Ikari Fumihiko said just now, EVA is the patron saint of mankind. Whether human civilization can survive the third impact all hopes rest on EVA.

Wait for the three people to come to their respective seats and sit down.

Only then did Ikari Yui speak.

"After two years, ten months and twenty-one days of hard work, the first EVA was finally completed, allowing us humans to master the ability to resist the third impact. Although there is some complacency in it, I still have to say, gentlemen, it is not an exaggeration to say that this achievement we have created together is a miracle. No -

There is no need for any humility at this time, we have created a miracle.

This is a miracle! "

Everyone's emotions were aroused by Ikari Yui's words, the atmosphere became fanatical, and even Ikari Fumihiko was affected to some extent.

I don't know who took the lead, but a group of pale-haired scholars cheered like children.

After waiting for the atmosphere to calm down a little, Ikari Yui spoke again.

“But this is just the beginning.

Although Unit 00 has been manufactured, it can only be regarded as a test prototype. We need to continue to tap the potential of EVA and create more powerful EVAs. Only when EVA is powerful enough can we humans be safe enough to avoid the tragedy of the Second Impact from happening again to the next generation and to avoid the recurrence of the scene that is like purgatory on earth. "

After saying this, she smiled slyly and then turned the topic to Ikari Fumihiko.

"Next, please allow Team Leader Fumihiko Ikari to speak."

Ikari Fumihiko was confused.

What's going on? Why is it my turn to speak?

I'm not prepared at all!

No experience either!

Could you please stop messing around like this!

When he saw the sly smile on Ikari Yui's face, he understood that Ikari Yui was deliberately trying to trick him.

I feel a little angry, but more helpless.

Noticing that people around him were looking at him, he felt some pressure, but that was all.

We have encountered this kind of situation too many times before, and the pressure we have been under recently has been too much and too great.

Naturally, I wouldn't panic because of this little scene.

I just didn't know what to say, so I thought about it and then spoke.

"What I wanted to say has already been said by the minister, but the minister gave me the opportunity to speak, so I have to say something anyway. If there is anything wrong with what I said, please forgive me."

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair and bowed to everyone.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past three years."

Without waiting for anyone to reply or signaling them to stop talking, he continued to speak nonsense.

“I believe…

History will remember all our efforts, and we will have no rivals ahead of us.

After this rebirth from the ashes, human civilization will inevitably become more and more brilliant.

It is only a matter of time before we conquer the sea of ​​stars above us."

140. This is too unreliable

Having said this, Fumihiko Ikari originally planned to end it.

But after thinking about it, he added one more sentence.

"In the eyes of the enemy, we humans may be as insignificant as bugs, but they never know that bugs have never been eliminated."

Having said that, he wanted to say another famous quote from JOJO, so he turned the topic stiffly.

“They see destruction as the fate of mankind.

However, we humans fear fate but have never lost the courage to fight against it.

I like this sentence very much: the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage. "

After looking at the people who were thinking about the origin of this sentence, Ikari Yui shook her head.

"Don't think about it. This is what Team Leader Wen Yan said not long ago."

Everyone then suddenly realized what was going on and applauded Ikari Fumihiko's speech.

Not seeing that Ikari Fumihiko was as nervous and at a loss as expected, Ikari Yui was a little disappointed. She had already thought of how to save Ikari Fumihiko.

He waved his hand for silence.

When everyone quieted down, she brought the topic back on track.

"If you want to celebrate, wait until tomorrow's celebration party to let off steam. Now it's time to talk about some serious business."

The celebration party was a spur-of-the-moment idea on her part.

The reason why she thought of holding a celebration party was because of Fumihiko Ikari's words "thank you for your hard work". She felt that this could help alleviate the problem of the rising suicide rate and the increasing number of suicides. The completion of Unit 00 could give people hope, and at the same time it could effectively relieve everyone's stress and boost their confidence.

Everyone was a little surprised.

There was actually a celebration banquet.

No matter what progress and achievements we made during these three years, we were not allowed to have a celebration party or even take a break.

But it's not too surprising.

After all, now that we have Unit-00 as our guardian, humans can breathe a sigh of relief.

"There are three things to be discussed at today's meeting: the issue of combat uniforms, the pilot training program, and the issue of EVA weapons and equipment."

As soon as Ikari Yui finished speaking, someone spoke up.

"There is no problem with the first two things, but for weapons and equipment, our R&D department seems to lack the relevant talent and technical reserves."

If it was just an enlarged version of the rifle, it would not be difficult for everyone present, but EVA's weapons and equipment could not be ordinary rifles.

As the department head, Ikari Yui was naturally aware of this problem and immediately explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly just now and made everyone misunderstand what I meant. Um... the weapons and equipment issue I was talking about was confirming the general direction of EVA weapons and equipment, and preparing equipment and props for training."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

The technical personnel that Seele currently has are mainly talents in bioengineering and materials science.

The weapons used by EVA in the original work, whether it is the high-vibration particle knife, the shield against particle cannons, the sonic spear, or the positron rifle, the positron cannon... these involve too many disciplines, and the difficulty of developing each one is a top-level project. For Seele to develop all of them, it is no longer a question of whether it is difficult or not, but it is definitely impossible.

Is this the reason why NERV was established in the original work?

Everyone talked a lot about the combat uniforms, and soon the general plan was confirmed.

Regarding the issue of weapons and equipment, many conceptual weapons were proposed, but no one mentioned the method of training pilots. Everyone was waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to confirm the direction.

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko was in a daze, Ikari Yui asked.

"Team Leader Wen Yan, tell me what you think."

Although Ikari Fumihiko was in a daze, he was aware of the progress of the meeting.

“I don’t know much about combat uniforms, so I won’t say anything.

In terms of weapons and equipment, there are only two aspects: melee and ranged. The issue we need to consider is how to break the AT force field. Now we lack this part of information, and it will not make much sense to say more. After collecting enough AT force field data, we will formulate weapons and equipment according to the weaknesses of the AT force field.

The most important thing now is to finalize the training plan.”

Ikari Yui nodded, agreeing with Ikari Fumihiko's words.

“What should be considered in the training program?”

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it and realized that the synchronization rate between Ayanami Rei and Unit 00 was too low. To put it bluntly, they were not proficient enough.
