I participated in the development of EVA

When she said this, she looked at Ikari Gendō, and Ikari Gendō spoke first.

"If these materials are really needed urgently, I will find a way to solve it."

Ikari Yui nodded with satisfaction.

That's why she called Ikari Gendo over, firstly because the situation was urgent, and secondly to change everyone's view of her husband.

Let everyone know what Gendō Ikari is busy with.

"In addition to line overloads, we also have to be prepared for other incidents."

After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on Ikari Fumihiko.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"The only possibility I can think of is that the line is overloaded. I don't have any other ideas for now."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the documents in their hands. This was an experimental report, which recorded the experimental process and various data during the operation of Unit 0.

These data are of little significance, but in the current situation there is nothing else to do except look at the data.

Ok……

You can sneer and look down on Ikari Gendo, the son-in-law who married into the family, but of course you can't do that when Ikari Yui is present.

Ikari Fumihiko was bored and wanted to yawn, but he didn't know what to do so he imitated the posture of Ikari Gendō in later generations, crossing his fingers and placing them under his nose. He looked like he was thinking about something, but in fact he was just closing his eyes to rest. Well... he was thinking about whether he could get off work early today and go back to the dormitory to have sex with Ibuki Megumi.

At the same time, he secretly thought it was a pity that if he were wearing glasses now, he would look very handsome.

however……

He does not have the deep temperament of Gendou Ikari, and cannot give people that cold, inhumane feeling of fear.

But it doesn't look funny, just ordinary overall.

After everyone sat in silence in the conference room for an hour, the dismantling work was finally completed, and Ibuki Huimi walked in from outside with a report.

The silent atmosphere in the meeting room made Ibuki Huimi a little nervous.

Everyone present here is a big shot to her.

Subconsciously, she was looking for Ikari Fumihiko among the crowd, and at this moment, Ikari Fumihiko saw Ibuki Megumi's embarrassment and immediately stood up from his seat.

"You don't need to read the report, just give it to me."

Hearing Ikari Fumihiko's voice, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded simply.

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko took the report from Ibuki Huimi, squeezed it, and then asked the other party to stand behind him.

Under the gaze of everyone, he quickly flipped through the contents.

After a moment he spoke.

"It is indeed the overload that caused the fuse to blow."

He then handed the report to Ikari Yui, who nodded after taking a look at it.

Although both of them had confirmed the situation, the others still wanted to know the details. Everyone except Ikari Gendou took a look.

Everyone's attention finally focused on several team leaders of the materials class.

Several team leaders of the Materials Department looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Logically, this shouldn't happen. The power output didn't exceed the upper limit. Why did the overload fuse blow?"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then spoke again.

“We need to study the specific situation.”

Ikari Yui shook her head.

“We will study the problem later to see if there is a solution.”

She was not interested in why the material melted due to overload when there was no overload. She just wanted a solution, to solve the problem as soon as possible and get Zero moving.

208. Clear all obstacles to reproduction

The solution is not difficult and everyone can come up with one. Ikari Yui's words were just a summary of the meeting.

The representative of the Materials Department spoke as everyone was watching.

"If the problem can be solved with raw materials, the best solution is to replace the circuit with other materials. However, in addition to raw materials, this option also requires a burn-in test to select the most suitable material. Before that, you can continue with the original plan and replace the damaged circuit for a temporary transition. Well, to be on the safe side, it is best to replace all the circuits."

After finishing the report, the representative of the Materials Department sat down again, and Ikari Yui looked at Ikari Gendo.

Ikari Gendo nodded.

"I will find a solution as soon as possible regarding materials."

"That's it."

After hearing Ikari Gendō's promise, Ikari Yui looked at the people in the Materials Department again.

“How long will it take to process the replacement material?”

"There are enough spare parts left over from the last improvement to replace all the circuits."

"That's it. Produce another batch of spare parts for the circuit and store them for emergency situations. Meanwhile, you guys find out the cause of this failure as soon as possible."

As Ikari Yui said this, the emergency meeting came to an end.

Not long after, the Materials Department delivered the spare circuit. The current design of the neural connection device is no longer the original version. The last time it was improved, the design of circuit disassembly and installation was optimized for ease of assembly. However, even though it was modified to a modular design, it still took nearly six hours to replace all the circuits. The work started at nine in the morning and ended at three in the afternoon.

It took nearly five hours to reinstall the neural connection device. The reason why loading took more time than disassembly was mainly to check whether the insulation layer was maintained during the loading and unloading of the neural connection device.

This insulation layer is mainly to prevent the EVA's body temperature of nearly 43 degrees from affecting the insertion plug.

Once heat exchange occurs, the temperature cannot be effectively controlled by relying solely on the plug-in temperature control system. The temperature will heat up to over 40 degrees within a few minutes. If it were just this, the driver could still bear it for a short time, but the driver relies on LCL to provide the oxygen needed by the body.

By then, let alone fighting, the temperature alone would be enough to kill the driver.

When it was first designed, we considered not using an insulation layer and installing a powerful temperature control system.

However, the R&D department lacked experts in this area and also took the issue of energy consumption into consideration, which is why they finally decided to lay an insulation layer.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening after the idle operation test. In order to let everyone sleep well, Ayanami Rei had to drive Unit 00 to perform the startup test despite her sleepiness.

The startup went smoothly without any problems, and everyone finally put their minds at ease.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Ayanami Rei got off Unit 00 and returned to the Ayanami project team to rest. In the past, under such circumstances, Ikari Fumihiko would have taken the opportunity to sneak back to the dormitory to rest, but Ibuki Megumi was still working overtime. If he didn't go back to help process some documents, Ibuki Megumi would have to work overtime until late at night alone.

The documents that need to be processed now are mainly accumulated from the few days of vacation.

"This is too much work. You should get an assistant."

Of course, Ibuki Huimi knew what Ikari Fumihiko was thinking behind this suggestion, which was to squeeze out more time for the two of them.

In fact, she also thought about this today.

“There is no suitable candidate.”

Ikari Fumihiko is heartless and doesn't care about power, but she cannot help but consider that there are many people who are capable of helping her share the work, but there is no one she can trust. She is similar to Ikari Fumihiko in terms of socializing, but she knows more people. However, the only person she can really be called familiar with is Ikari Yui, so she does not have as much as Ikari Fumihiko in this regard.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused.

"These documents shouldn't be difficult to process, right? How come you can't find the right person?"

Ibuki Huimi understood Ikari Fumihiko's thoughts and felt that he was too generous.

"There are many capable people, but if you hand these documents over to people you don't trust, aren't you afraid that they will secretly set a trap for you? The struggle for power and profit will never disappear as long as humans exist."

What Ibuki Megumi said does make sense, but Ikari Fumihiko thinks Ibuki Megumi is overthinking.

wrong!

It's a lack of security.

Only when she holds power firmly in her hands can she feel safe.

"This project has been closely watched by the top leaders throughout the process. Who would dare to mess with this project if they don't want to live? Not to mention that this project concerns the fate of all mankind."

Ibuki Huimi opened her mouth to argue, but for a moment she couldn't find a reason to refute.

Just as she was thinking about something, Fumihiko Ikari spoke again.

“This seat is not for everyone to sit in, and not for everyone to sit in.”

As he spoke, he gave the example of the situation of the Lingbo project team at the time.

"In addition to me, the other candidate for the Lingbo Project Team leader was Doctor Ito. You've met that person before. He's the deputy leader of the Lingbo Project Team."

Ibuki Huimi nodded.

"I know this person. He has worked with my grandfather on several projects before. He is an outstanding scholar in the field of medicine."

"He gave up the candidacy for the position of group leader from the very beginning."

Without Ikari Fumihiko explaining anything, Ibuki Huimi knew why Dr. Ito gave up the opportunity to become the team leader.

In this project that concerns the fate of all mankind, not everyone can bear the pressure of being a decision maker.

Professor Ishida Ame, who was in charge of the research and development of the neural connection device, died suddenly because he could not bear the pressure he was carrying. Of course, the factor of the second shock was also involved. This was not an isolated case in the past three years. Except for the director of positioning, almost all team leaders have been replaced.

Ikari Fumihiko added after a while.

"Actually, I hope someone can take my place."

This is half true and half false.

He does not covet power, but he enjoys the privileges that come with it. He would be reluctant to give it up, but if he has to make a choice, he will eventually give up his position as team leader.

Because if he continues to stay in this position and waits for Ikari Yui to disappear, he will most likely become the director of the R&D department.

Part of it is that he has achieved enough now.

Secondly, compared to Ikari Gendō, who was just a son-in-law, he, as a branch of the Ikari clan, has more advantages in terms of bloodline.

In fact, even if his achievements were not as dazzling as they are now, or even if Ikari Gendō's achievements surpassed his, the surname Ikari alone was enough to make Ikari Gendō the minister. In this Japanese branch, most of the scholars are Japanese who attach great importance to inheritance and bloodline, and people with the label of "son-in-law who marries into the family" are naturally inferior to others at all times.

209. This is embarrassing

Ibuki Huimi didn't say anything. She thought carefully for a while and was surprised to find that she was not opposed to giving up the power in her hands.

She had thought about finding an assistant to share the work not only today, but also before. Every time this thought came up, she felt inexplicably uneasy and resistant.

"You are the team leader, you have the final say."

Her current situation fits the saying very well: the hardest thing for a person to see clearly is always himself.

When Ikari Fumihiko learned that Ibuki Megumi agreed, he was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.

Reproduction is a major event in life.

This is definitely not hasty.

"Do you choose the candidate, or just let Ikari Yui arrange one?"

Ibuki Huimei hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Let me promote one."

People you promote are more trustworthy.

Fumihiko Ikari is not the kind of person who just does whatever his girlfriend says. Instead, he takes a serious attitude to discuss things with her.

"Let Ikari Yui arrange the personnel! She has more comprehensive information and will be more reliable to use."

This is naturally because Ikari Yui is very efficient.

Ibuki Huimi noticed Ikari Fumihiko's thoughts at the first moment, but she did not expose him because she had the same thoughts.

But she was calmer.

After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed as Ikari Fumihiko said, the people recommended by Ikari Yui were safer than those she chose herself. She only knew the surface of the capable people in the project team, while Ikari Yui had very comprehensive files and reports provided by various professionals such as psychological assessments. Having these things as a basis was indeed safer than choosing based on her feelings.

After pondering for a moment, she spoke again and offered a compromise.

"Then Ikari Yui will provide candidates, and I will select one or two of them as assistants."
