I participated in the development of EVA

Akagi Naoko's two-word answer left Ikari Fumihiko speechless.

"All right……"

"I originally left a backdoor in the personality transplant program, and I only realized this after connecting to it."

Fumihiko Ikari suddenly felt that the EVA world had the potential for cultivating immortals.

"Are you sure there are no omissions in the surveillance?"

"I have used instruments to detect it. There are two lines in total, connecting two supercomputers respectively. Now they are all taken over by the Three Sages System."

Fumihiko Ikari let out a long sigh and felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

Akagi Naoko asked back.

"Aren't you curious about the current ranking of the three sages' authority?"

"I'm not curious. Do you still remember what I said at the beginning? It's like..."

Naoko Akagi interrupted Fumihiko Ikari's subsequent words.

"Trust me as much as I trust you? Isn't this sentence inappropriate right now?"

"Just like you believe in me, I believe in you too."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what Akagi Naoko thought of him, nor did he know whether Akagi Naoko was trustworthy, but there were two things he was sure of. Akagi Naoko was different from those crazy people in the upper echelons. She would never support the Human Completion Project, nor was she the kind of ambitious person who wanted to dominate the world. For him, these two points were a guarantee... No! It was enough for the other party not to support the Human Completion Project.

Naoko Akagi's expression didn't change much, and she continued speaking calmly.

"The authority is arranged according to my personal approval."

Ikari Fumihiko understood.

No wonder Ikari Gendō planned to kill Akagi Naoko in the plot. In addition to the fact that Akagi Naoko lost her usefulness after the development of the Three Sages system was completed, he mainly wanted to obtain the highest authority of the Three Sages, so that he would have the confidence to negotiate with the top leaders and become a member of the Human Completion Neighborhood Committee.

As these flashed through his mind, an idea came to his mind.

Without the highest authority of the Three Sages System, Gendō Ikari would never be able to become a member of the Human Completion Residents Committee no matter how hard he tried.

However, this idea was rejected as soon as it came up.

Ha ha……

Indeed, taking advantage of women is also a skill.

"Then which one am I?"

"Among the living people, he ranks second, and Ritsuko ranks third."

Seeing Naoko Akagi say it so straightforwardly, Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help but shake his head.

"You shouldn't say this kind of thing."

"???"

Naoko Akagi didn't react for a moment.

Fumihiko Ikari sighed. In the field of scientific research, Naoko Akagi was definitely one of the world's top scholars. It was no exaggeration to say that she was unparalleled in the world for being able to come up with such an incredible technology as personality transplantation. However, she was too stupid in other aspects. Well... well, he was too dirty to think of killing people and seizing power in the first place.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and gain the highest authority?"

"Uh……"

Naoko Akagi was stunned, obviously she had never thought about this hidden danger before.

It took me a while to come back to my senses.

"You wouldn't do that."

Fumihiko Ikari was a little confused about where Naoko Akagi's confidence in herself came from.

"why?"

"With your intelligence, it is not difficult to replicate another version of the Three Sages System. There is no need to do such a thing."

Others could not understand the personality transplant technology, but Naoko Akagi felt that it would not be difficult for Fumihiko Ikari to understand the underlying logic of the personality transplant technology.

After all, Fumihiko Ikari has researched out an incredible technology called the neural connection device, and in his opinion, this is the world's truly cutting-edge technology. Both EVA and the Three Wise Men System are technologies derived from the Apostles, but only the neural connection device is pure technology. Moreover, both the Three Wise Men System and EVA are inseparable from this technology.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fumihiko Ikari is the cornerstone of EVA and the Three Sages system.

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for just a moment, then he saw through Akagi Naoko's thoughts and couldn't help shaking his head.

Others don’t know clearly, so why doesn’t he know clearly?

The neural connection device is a technology that was born purely by accident. Others cannot understand its underlying operating logic, and the same is true for him, the developer.

Of course, he would never say these things.

"You think too highly of me."

Naoko Akagi thought Fumihiko Ikari was just being modest, so she didn't say anything.

Ikari Fumihiko spoke again.

"Can the three sages connect to the outside world now?"

If they can be connected, then what's the point? Directly announcing the Human Completion Plan would be risky, but we can use the Three Sages System to find trustworthy people, and then bring these people together to form an anti-human completion neighborhood committee to eliminate the Seele executives, or we can dig out the Seele executives and find a way to catch them off guard and kill them at the same time, which can also solve the problem.

By then, even if Seele does not disband, it will be able to completely wipe out the human completion plan in the cradle.

After all, the Human Instrumentality Project is a secret operation, so the only people who know about it are those at the top of Seele and members like Ikari Gendo who know a little but don't know the full picture of the plan.

Whether you do both at the same time or choose either one, there is a high probability that the problem will be solved.

but……

He felt that the top management would definitely not leave such a big omission.

At the beginning of the construction of the Three Sages System, the top management must have conducted a comprehensive study on the impact of the birth of a supercomputer on the plan.

"Haven't you noticed? Ritsuko hasn't called you in a long time."

Naoko Akagi was not a riddle teller, and she continued to explain the situation without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to speak.

"The top brass cut off all network links between the base and the outside world a long time ago. Well, I also found a signal shielding plan that covers the entire base in the database. They obviously conducted a comprehensive assessment of the capabilities of the Three Sages System a long time ago and made these corresponding preparations in advance to block the Three Sages System within the scope of the base.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the top management has retained one or two independent lines connecting to the external network."

17:27:32

344. Be serious, I'm talking to you about the destruction of the world

Fumihiko Ikari was not frustrated by this. He had expected this result long ago. On the contrary, he would have been surprised if the top management had not made any arrangements.

He would definitely be suspicious.

Are the top leaders trying to take a gamble? They don't know about the existence of the human completion plan. As long as they don't know, they can completely abandon the plan to save the king and hide completely, letting the situation develop, and then intervene at the critical moment to reap the fruits of victory and complete the plan. After all, if humans want to continue, they must defeat all the apostles.

This is also the prerequisite for the realization of the human completion plan.

Although he knew it was impossible, he still asked with a fluke mentality.

"Can we find those hidden network lines that connect to the outside world?"

"No."

After shaking her head in denial, Akagi Naoko spoke again.

"Do you think the people at the top really just want to prevent the Third Impact from happening?"

Fumihiko Ikari hesitated for a moment and still did not explain the human completion plan to Naoko Akagi.

"There is nothing much to say about preventing the Third Impact from happening. Anyone who does not want humanity to perish will do so."

"So what do you think is the possibility of the world being ruled by high-level military forces?"

"All they will get is a ruin. At least the surface of the earth will be completely destroyed and no longer suitable for human survival. Such a world will lose its value of conquest. They will most likely use technological means to establish a technological barrier and replace the United States as the new era overlord of this planet. Or they may abandon all of humanity and develop aerospace technology to play a simulation game in the universe."

"I think so too."

After a pause, Akagi Naoko asked back.

"If it's the latter, will you support the top management?"

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari knew Naoko Akagi's attitude.

If Seele really wants to seize the world's dominant position through scientific and technological means, Naoko Akagi will not object, and will even fully agree. If Seele can gain the dominant position, Naoko Akagi can get more resources for scientific research.

From a personal perspective, I naturally prefer China to become the world hegemon.

No matter what, we were Chinese before we traveled through time.

But from the perspective of this body, he had no reason to object.

"I don't object. It depends on what they want to do. Well, as long as they don't make the world worse, it's fine. What about you?"

"Same as you. As long as it doesn't make the world a worse place, it doesn't matter."

What Naoko Akagi said was pretty much what he expected.

He could even judge that most people in the base would not object to this.

Except for a small number of lunatics who are afraid of chaos in the world, most people have a natural aversion to war and do not want the world to be in chaos. If hegemony can be seized without triggering a world war, they will naturally not oppose it, and may even support it, because if the organization gains hegemony, all members will benefit.

For example, more compensation can reduce the pressure of mortgage and car loans.

Although the world experienced a devastating blow from the second shock, after the situation stabilized, things like mortgages and car loans began to revive.

As for how to steal world hegemony without bloodshed?

There are so many ways.

The simplest and most convenient way is to establish a shadow government through political means to secretly control the current overlord, the United States. With the current Seele foundation, it is not capable of doing this, but with the terrifying performance shown by the Three Sages System, let alone controlling the United States, it is only a matter of time before it terrorizes the whole world.

Akagi Naoko seemed to have thought of something and spoke with a serious expression.

"I hope you won't study cryonics in the future."

"???"

"Once this technology emerges, it could very well be the source of the world's destruction."

"???"

Fumihiko Ikari didn't understand at all and really couldn't understand how technology like cryonics could destroy the world.

Naoko Akagi saw that Fumihiko Ikari was confused and began to explain.

"Once this kind of time machine technology appears, it is likely to give rise to the idea of ​​restarting the human era."

"Restart the human era?"

"Take the initiative to trigger a world nuclear war and eliminate all humans on the earth..."

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari also reacted and interrupted Naoko Akagi's next words.

"And then use this technology to travel to a future where nuclear pollution has dissipated? Re-establish human civilization in a new era?"

The main reason why he was able to react so quickly was because Naoko Akagi's idea reminded him of the Resident Evil he had seen before he traveled through time, in which there was a similar plan, but in the Resident Evil, a biological virus was relied upon to reset the human era to zero. In comparison, the nuclear war that Naoko Akagi mentioned was simpler and more brutal.

However, the disadvantages of nuclear war are equally obvious, that is, it will destroy everything and requires the technology to freeze everything for hundreds of years.

Biological viruses can retain a certain industrial basis and do not require advanced freezing technology, as long as they can be frozen for a few years.

"Correct."

Looking at Naoko Akagi's serious expression, Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help but chuckle.

"I think biological viruses are better than nuclear wars. At least they can preserve a certain industrial base, which can save a lot of trouble when restarting the era."

It was just a joke, but Naoko Akagi started to think about it seriously.

"With today's medical level, it is difficult to use a virus to wipe out all of humanity. If it were possible, there would be a very high risk of getting out of control."

"Uh, why are you really thinking about it? I was just joking."

"I was serious."

Akagi Naoko was so serious that Ikari Fumihiko was helpless.

"...I will never touch this kind of technology, okay?"

"Then let's end this conversation here. Once the surveillance is lifted, we can talk about the next generation normally."

"Oh, by the way, do you have control over all the surveillance in the base?"
