I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Yui felt a little helpless.

"Your focus on things is as strange as ever."

After saying this, she spoke again.

"Indeed, this is one of the main factors that led to the rejection of the EVA power generation plan."

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment and then spoke up to offer his own opinion.

“Why not adjust the work system?”

The words were still incoherent, and Ibuki Huimi, who was standing beside him, looked confused, but Ikari Yui instantly understood Ikari Fumihiko's train of thought.

Ikari Yui shook her head.

"This will lead to a significant decrease in efficiency, and once people have some free time, they will have more things to think about."

Ikari Fumihiko is no longer the ignorant self he was when he first came into this world, so he naturally knows what Ikari Yui meant.

The second impact caused the survivors to be more or less mentally abnormal. The current high-pressure working environment leaves these people with almost no time to think. Once the work system is adjusted to normal, people will inevitably have more free time. Once they have free time, they will have time to think about random things, which can easily lead to problems.

Ibuki Huimei was confused as she listened.

"Isn't this a matter of power rationing? Why are you bringing this up with the work system?"

Ikari Fumihiko immediately opened his mouth to explain it.

“The adjustment to the work system is because the solar power generation unit can only provide power to the base during the day.”

Worried that he might not fully understand, he added another sentence.

"Of course, solar power generation is only used to supplement the electricity gap."

Just like in the original book, the power supply for the NERV base and the entire city comes from several solar power generator structures that are as big as buildings.

After hearing this, Ibuki Huimi finally reacted.

"You're too optimistic. Others have already resorted to power rationing. It's impossible for us to get so many solar panels, right?"

I recalled some impressions related to solar power generation in my mind.

"Even if we can get it, we won't get that much land to lay out, right?"

At this stage, solar energy technology is not yet very mature. It is expensive, and the power generation capacity is also relatively low. If you want to provide enough electricity for the base, you must cover all the nearby woodlands in the mountains.

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment, then frankly admitted his mistake.

"I was negligent."

Ikari Yui didn't say anything. These issues had already been mentioned in the meeting. When she refuted Ikari Fumihiko before, she just felt that the employees' questions were more convincing.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking again.

"What can we do? We can't detect whether there is underground water nearby to generate hydroelectric power, or hydrogen energy power, or underground volcanic high geothermal power!"

These are the only more covert methods left.

Ikari Yui nodded

"We are already trying these two directions, but the hope is not great. Even if we do find something, it won't fill the current energy gap."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to continue discussing this issue.

"Let the top leaders worry about this! Power rationing is just one of the tactics used by the other side. There must be other tricks. We can't completely cut off contact with the outside world and solve everything by ourselves. Even if we can, we can't do that. It will only force the other side to adopt more radical targeting. To put it bluntly... this is not a technical issue at all, but a political issue."

This conclusion is consistent with that reached at the conference, and all scholars agree that this is a political issue.

Even if the base's energy problem is solved through technical means, the other party will impose restrictions in other aspects to force Seele to comply.

Ikari Yui mentioned this issue to Ikari Fumihiko, just to chat and also to see if Ikari Fumihiko had any new ideas.

The preliminary preparations for the launch of Unit 00 had already been completed, but the staff noticed that the three people were talking and did not interrupt them.

Rei Ayanami changed into her combat uniform, entered the insertion plug and successfully started Unit 0.

Ikari Yui glanced at the numbers on the panel.

"It seems that camping has no effect on improving synchronization rate."

The synchronization rate did not increase this time because of the bonfire party. No! It did increase, but compared to the previous increases, the increase this time was almost negligible.

Ikari Fumihiko opened his mouth to defend himself.

"It becomes increasingly difficult to improve the synchronization rate as time goes on."

Ikari Yui nodded without comment.

Ikari Fumihiko added another sentence.

"Maybe we need to let Eva feel a little more free. Well, the activity area should be bigger, and the synchronization rate may increase faster."

Ikari Yui gave Ikari Fumihiko a displeased look.

Now there is no need for Ikari Fumihiko and Ikari Yui to intervene in the collection of AT force field data, as their employees can handle it all. They only need to give orders when any accidents occur.

Therefore, although everyone around them was busy, the two of them were still free.

205. I'm not a god

The two of them came to the command room and sat down away from the crowd.

"Why don't you help your sister-in-law with some of the work? Look how busy Huimei is now."

In response to Ikari Yui's teasing, Ikari Fumihiko rolled his eyes at her, but still glanced at the busy Ibuki Megumi. If it were in the past, he would definitely not have any feelings, and might even be secretly happy that he could be lazy. However, now that the two have confirmed their relationship, his mentality naturally cannot be the same as in the past, and he would not treat Ibuki Megumi as his younger brother.

Uh--

Ok!

Mainly because I'm afraid of kneeling on a washboard or a keyboard.

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko's expression, Ikari Yui laughed.

"Now I understand why most companies prohibit office romances!"

Although Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, he nodded this time.

Office romance does affect laziness...

wrong!

It's work.

At this time, Ikari Yui changed the subject and revealed the real purpose of this conversation.

"I heard from my subordinates that you and Huimei told me that you lost your memory?"

Ikari Fumihiko was not surprised. When he made this excuse, he knew that Ikari Yui would definitely find an opportunity to ask him about this.

"Well, there are some things I can't remember."

When Ikari Yui heard Ikari Fumihiko admit it, she was a little surprised.

When she learned the news, she immediately thought that this was a rhetoric made up by Fumihiko Ikari to deceive Ibuki Megumi.

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

Ikari Fumihiko pretended to think for a moment before speaking.

"I don't remember a lot of things when I woke up in the hospital. I just didn't have the chance to talk about it, and I didn't know who to report to."

Although Ikari Yui arranged for Ikari Gendō to greet Ikari Fumihiko after he was discharged from the hospital, she did not pay much attention to him and regarded him as an outstanding junior. At that time, even if Ikari Fumihiko said that he had lost his memory, she would just confirm his situation. If he could continue to participate in scientific research, he would continue to stay in the R&D department. If he could not participate in scientific research, he would be placed in the Human Resources Department.

Although it is a bit utilitarian, if Fumihiko Ikari really cannot participate in scientific research, she will no longer pay attention to Fumihiko Ikari.

There were not many survivors from the Ikari clan, but they were not few either.

There are a few who are closer to her than Ikari Fumihiko, but they are all ordinary people. The reason she is so close to Ikari Fumihiko is because the other person is equally outstanding.

Uh……

Well, better than me.

This is utilitarian, and there is no choice.

Sitting in her current position, she can't even take care of her own son Ikari Shinji, so how can she possibly divide her energy on worthless people?

"You can tell me! I'm your cousin, don't always treat me as an outsider."

Ikari Fumihiko smiled and said nothing.

Ikari Yui continued speaking.

"You said you lost your memory at that time, but your subsequent behavior doesn't seem to be the case?"

Having said this, she paused and remembered a detail.

"When you were looking through the basic information in the database and told Huimei that you wanted to be a teacher, you were not recovering your memories at that time, right?"

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, then gave a vague reply.

"It's not that the memories are completely gone, but a lot of them have become very blurry."

Thinking about the time at that time, Ikari Yui had an incredible look on his face.

"You were able to revise Professor Ishida's design even though you lost your memory?"

Ikari Fumihiko replied sincerely.

"I just guessed it, there was no need to make any corrections. I just didn't understand the blueprint at the time, so I just messed around and didn't expect it to be so successful."

This is absolutely the truth, but he dared to say it because he knew in his heart that no one would believe it.

The corner of Ikari Yui's mouth twitched. Of course, she didn't believe Ikari Fumihiko's nonsense, nor did she think that Ikari Fumihiko was being modest. Instead, she felt that Ikari Fumihiko was saying such words to retaliate against her for teasing him just now, treating her like a fool.

"You are such a stingy person!"

Ikari Fumihiko spread his hands helplessly.

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it."

"Okay! Let's just say that—"

Ikari said with a look of disbelief, and then changed the subject.

"What do you remember now?"

"Name, gender."

"Doesn't this mean you don't remember anything?"

Ikari Fumihiko replied teasingly.

“I still remember how to go to the bathroom.”

Ikari Yui replied unhappily.

"If you can't even go to the toilet, you're not amnesiac, you've become an idiot."

Then they didn't continue the conversation. She asked about this matter just to find a topic to talk about. She didn't really care whether Fumihiko Ikari had lost his memory or not. After all, the two of them had not had much contact before the second impact. Most of her knowledge of Fumihiko Ikari's life in the old days came from the written records in the archives.

Ikari Yui was observing the data collection process through the computer next to her.

After sitting for a while, Fumihiko Ikari stood up and came to Ibuki Megumi's side to help her share some of the work. However, there was not much he could do to help with these chores. His main job was to keep her company and express his concern. At this moment, an accident happened. Ayanami Rei suddenly lost contact with Unit-00.

When this happened, everyone was shocked and thought that Unit 0 was going to go berserk again.

"The fourth circuit is disconnected, the fifty-third circuit is disconnected... All circuits are disconnected, the reason is unknown."

but……

Unit 00 just stopped moving, showing no signs of going berserk.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ikari Fumihiko.

"Li, report, what happened over there?"

Rei Ayanami shook her head blankly.

"Li doesn't know either. The connection was suddenly disconnected without any symptoms."

Fumihiko Ikari was a little confused about the situation, but he knew in his heart that at this time he should first ensure Rei Ayanami's safety.
