I participated in the development of EVA

"Ah."

Akagi Ritsuko responded.

Now, her attitude towards her feelings for Ikari Fumihiko is still the same as before. If Ikari Fumihiko becomes single again, she will express her feelings and give it a try. If there is no such opportunity, she will not try to create opportunities, or even wait silently. If she really meets the right person, she will not refuse.

360. The dog I had raised for five years got lost...

A week later, several preliminary designs of the smart city were delivered to Fumihiko Ikari. One of them was completed by the Institute of Artificial Evolution, and the others came from senior management.

"How's it going, is this done?"

"That's almost it."

Naoko Akagi has not been idle during this period. She has organized people to create a special physics engine for architecture, which will be used for structural calculations of construction plans later.

Two days later, Naoko Akagi finally finished creating the structural calculation program.

"All right."

Fumihiko Ikari immediately asked Ritsuko Akagi to input the research institute's plan into the Three Sages System.

The input method is very simple, which is to use a scanner to transfer the paper documents into the Three Sages system.

After finishing her work, Ritsuko Akagi saw that Fumihiko Ikari didn't say anything, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Then?"

The person who answered her questions was Naoko Akagi.

"Just wait."

As these words came out, the screen changed.

The Three Sages System first generated a detailed topography based on the geographical data near the research institute. This process was very fast and was completed in almost the blink of an eye. Then it simulated step by step based on the input design draft. Although it was done step by step, to the naked eye, it seemed that a building rose from the ground in almost the blink of an eye.

Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi had a clear understanding of the Three Wise Men System, but Ritsuko Akagi was the only one who was a little dazed.

“… Collapsed??”

Just as Ritsuko Akagi exclaimed in shock.

The building on the screen was two-thirds built when it suddenly collapsed.

The Three Sages System was obviously stunned for a moment, and then marked the cause of the accident.

The cause of the collapse this time was not a problem with the building structure, but a collapse of the foundation. To be precise, in order to ensure that the building has the function of rising and falling, the foundation can only be supported entirely by steel like a bridge. The floors were built too high, resulting in the foundation being excavated too deep. The steel strength preset in the plan was not enough to support the weight of the building.

"Let the system improve its load-bearing plan."

Ritsuko Akagi was still surprised and was stunned for a moment before she followed Fumihiko Ikari's order.

The multi-threaded algorithm that had been designed previously but never used came in handy at this time, calculating the weighing plan while saving the plan.

The first version of the design was soon available.

The Three Sages System provided an unexpected solution.

Ritsuko Akagi exclaimed.

"Is this... a biological vertebra?"

That's right!

The scheme is the vertebra of EVA.

Ikari Fumihiko and Akagi Naoko were also stunned for a moment.

Ikari Fumihiko, who was the first to come to his senses, said something dryly.

"In terms of strength, it is indeed suitable. Ligaments not only connect the vertebrae together, but can even be used as transmission belts."

Naoko Akagi thought seriously for a moment and nodded.

"Such a plan is very feasible, but regardless of the cost, the main thing is that the top management will definitely not agree with this plan."

"Indeed, this is a bit of a pity. If it were possible, the transmission device could use EVA muscles."

Ritsuko Akagi really wanted to ask about the condition of the cervical spine, but she just watched the two people talking and kept her mouth shut.

For mankind, the apostles are a catastrophe, but also a huge treasure.

The complete body can be made into the biological weapon EVA, the brain can be made into the Three Sages System, and the rest of the parts also have extremely high scientific research and application value.

"Negative solution, repeat the calculation."

Ritsuko Akagi followed Fumihiko Ikari's orders and operated in a daze.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari thought of a device.

"You think it's possible to build a space elevator using cervical vertebrae and ligaments?"

Naoko Akagi was obviously stunned for a moment.

Although the concept of space elevator was proposed a long time ago, not many people know about it nowadays. It is a relatively unpopular science fiction concept, but you can understand its general meaning just by looking at the literal meaning.

"An elevator that goes directly from the ground to space?"

"Yes, with this device, we can escape from Earth even if we lose the war, and we can also use space resources to increase our strength."

"Your thinking is still as wild as ever."

After Akagi Naoko said this, she lowered her head and began to think, and only spoke again after a moment.

"I don't know much about this, but pure skeletons and ligaments are not strong enough. Of course, it would be enough if the AT force field could be stimulated, but it is difficult to achieve technically. If you want a high enough cervical vertebra and long enough ligaments, you need to use gene editing technology. There is still no progress in this area."

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

Naoko Akagi over-complicated the problem. Space elevators are indeed high-tech, but the solution does not necessarily require high-tech. "It doesn't have to be that complicated. If there are not enough ligaments, tie multiple ligaments together. Well, just like tying ropes, the cervical vertebrae should also be solved by stacking them. Uh... It seems that without the cervical vertebrae, the problem can be solved as long as the ligaments are long enough?"

Naoko Akagi was stunned.

Ritsuko Akagi was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. It was not until this moment that she realized why her mother admired Fumihiko Ikari's talent.

The same goes for the rest of the people.

The Three Sages System has already calculated a new solution, but no one on the scene is able to take care of it at this moment.

Before everyone could come to their senses, Ikari Fumihiko began to mutter to himself again.

"It's actually safer to hide in space. How about just pulling the building directly into space? Uh... this plan seems to be raising the bar too high all of a sudden."

Everyone who had just come to their senses was stunned again. It took a long time for them to come back to their senses and look at Ikari Fumihiko with admiration.

Naoko Akagi lowered her head in deep thought. Only Ritsuko Akagi had a higher status at the scene and was most familiar with Fumihiko Ikari. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but say, "Since we already have this kind of technology, why not just build a city in space and take everyone to escape from the Earth and live on Mars? No matter how powerful this mysterious creature is, it can't catch up to Mars, right?

Even if Mars doesn’t work, we can use it as a transit point to escape to deeper space.”

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

“This project is too huge.”

Let’s not talk about whether Seele’s top management will allow this plan to be implemented.

It's just that the movie version has clearly given a setting that EVA and the apostles can survive and fight in space. Even if humans really escape to Mars, they will not be safe, let alone want to implement space travel on this scale. Unless humans can create AT force fields at will, a space disaster will be enough to destroy all mankind.

However, this plan is not completely worthless. As long as Adam and Lilith are not brought along, the other apostles will have no reason to cause trouble for humans.

It's easy to abandon Adam, but it's unrealistic to get rid of Lilith.

Because Lilith would not allow this to happen.

Akagi Ritsuko lowered her head and began to think, and at this time Akagi Naoko came back to her senses and asked a question.

"It's not possible to transfer all of humanity, but what if we just want to prevent humanity from extinction?"

"Project Spark?"

17:37:06

361. Take advantage of the quiet night and go out to see if you can find the dog.

"Project Spark?"

Feeling the puzzled gazes of the people around him, Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised.

Some science fiction concepts that were very common before time travel may not exist in this era, or even if they do, they are relatively unpopular and niche.

"It means sending some frozen embryos into deep space as human heritage to preserve the last spark of humanity."

Everyone was surprised.

Only Naoko Akagi was relatively calm.

“Have you been thinking about this stuff all the time?”

"more or less."

"This plan is theoretically feasible and worth trying, but it is difficult to find a planet other than Earth that is suitable for human reproduction."

Fumihiko Ikari still felt that Naoko Akagi was overcomplicating the problem.

"It doesn't have to be a planet. As long as there is an AT force field to protect you, it doesn't matter if you are an interstellar wanderer. If you find a suitable one, you can settle down there. If you don't find a suitable one, you can just keep wandering."

The prerequisite for the safe implementation of this plan is to have an at force field.

Without the protection of the AT force field, long-term deep space travel with current technology is purely a gamble.

Naoko Akagi didn't feel anything about Fumihiko Ikari's rough attitude.

Ritsuko Akagi was stunned.

“Isn’t this too rough?”

"What else? Given the current situation, can you still make plans for a hundred years or a thousand years?"

"Uh……"

Ritsuko Akagi was speechless.

If humans really had that much time to develop, there would be no need to escape the Earth, and the threat posed by mysterious creatures would not be a threat at all.

Fumihiko Ikari's eyes were fixed on the screen of the Three Sages System.

"Okay, focus on that. It's too far to talk about that. Let's finish the project first."

After looking at the new solution given by the Three Sages System, he looked at Ritsuko Akagi beside him speechlessly.

"Did you forget to exclude the keyword 'biology'?"

This time the solution given was to use the leg bones and hamstrings.

"You didn't say that just now."

It is because of her communication with Ikari Fumihiko that Akagi Ritsuko's personality becomes a little more unconventional.

As she spoke, she added the new conditions and started calculating again.

Naoko Akagi's mind is no longer on the smart city. Compared with the space elevator and the Spark Project, the benefits of the smart city project are too low. However, he did not say anything. Although the Spark Project can ensure that humans will not become extinct and the space elevator can increase the chances of humans defeating mysterious creatures, these two projects are too difficult to complete in a short period of time.

Moreover, the current situation is not suitable for humans to invest in such long-term projects. The most important task is to reduce combat casualties as much as possible and further arm the EVA.

“No, the cost is too high.”

"No, the reserves of these precious metals are not high."

……

One plan after another was rejected by Fumihiko Ikari, and Ritsuko Akagi also added conditions one by one.

After dozens of plans were rejected, the Three Sages System no longer just improved the application materials alone, but also modified the overall architectural design.

Ritsuko Akagi was shocked again.

The current performance of the Three Sages System is no longer within the scope of artificial intelligence as she understands it, but is real thinking.

"Just simulate it according to this plan."

"Uh, okay."

Ritsuko Akagi came to her senses and followed Fumihiko Ikari's instructions.

According to the plan given by the Three Sages System, the building no longer collapsed halfway through construction, but problems occurred during the ascent and descent. There was no problem with the materials, but it was impossible to ascend or descend quickly. The plan was optimized and the descent speed was increased, but the problem of slow ascent was not solved.
