I participated in the development of EVA

The most urgent thing in wartime is to evacuate quickly, so the end of the war is not so urgent.

Ikari Fumihiko frowned.

“The construction cost is still too high, so it cannot be popularized.”

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"The main purpose of this smart city is to avoid casualties. There is no need to insist on the elevator function. We only need to design key, high-cost buildings with elevator functions. Most buildings in the city can have a rapid evacuation system. The rest of the problems can be solved after the battle. There is no need to invest too much energy in this."

Fumihiko Ikari recalled the original work and it seemed that not every building in it could rise and fall.

"If that's the case, there's no need to design residential buildings."

"Ah."

The two studied the design drawings and quickly determined that, based on construction cost and importance, the only building in the entire smart city plan that required a lifting function was the solar power generation building.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

"Well, let's include hospitals in this. In an emergency, hospital personnel are the most difficult to transfer."

"What about nursing homes?"

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget about this... uh, add it to the contingency plan and let the top management decide."

"Ah."

Hospitals and nursing homes copy the lifting design of residential buildings, but solar power generation buildings do not need to consider the issue of human accommodation and are simpler to design.

After the building lifting function was solved, the design of the city's rapid evacuation system was handed over to the 01 prototype, while the 02 prototype began to solve the city's power system.

After looking at the design requirements, Fumihiko Ikari shook his head secretly.

"Superconductivity at room temperature and pressure? This... is really bold. Why not just ask for a nuclear fusion device?"

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything, she was not surprised by this.

When we received this smart city project, we already knew that the top management wanted to use the Three Sages System to research new technologies.

The 02 prototype began to calculate the superconducting material. Two or three people were left to watch it. Everyone moved to the 01 prototype. There was no way that superconductivity at room temperature and pressure was still in the conceptual stage. No matter how terrifying the performance of the Three Sages system was, it would be very difficult to make it. No... it was not certain whether it could be made.

This is because the elements needed to synthesize room-temperature and normal-pressure superconductors may not exist on Earth, or may be impossible to observe or obtain with current technology.

What humans have not yet discovered is also the upper limit of the capabilities of the Three Sages System. Even if there really are elements that can synthesize superconductivity, if the Three Sages System wants to deduce superconductivity, it can simply deduce it from almost infinite possibilities. Although this description is a bit exaggerated, the actual situation is not much better.

After sitting down, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but ask a question.

“Can it really lead to superconducting materials?”

Ikari Fumihiko replied unhappily.

"Wait for a miracle."

The 01 prototype has already been designed with an intelligent city rapid evacuation system. Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised when he took a look at it.

"You really know how to take shortcuts."

"really."

The others didn't see the problem, but Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi saw the problem at a glance. The rapid evacuation system provided by the 01 prototype was not a separate design, but made use of the track system reserved for EVA attacks in the city to quickly transfer people into the shelter.

17:37:20

362. Don’t make it more difficult for your friends

"Optimize the route and avoid conflicts."

Fumihiko Ikari has no intention of changing this plan.

The EVA attack rail line is nominally a city subway. Since we already have a subway, adding a rapid evacuation system is fine as long as it is well planned and does not affect the EVA attack.

The 01 prototype simulates and optimizes the rail line while also calculating the power supporting system.

Although it has been confirmed that the city is powered by solar buildings, we cannot only use electricity during the day and then return to the primitive age at night. The solution is simple: build power storage facilities to store the excess electricity during the day. The second is to build conventional power stations to fill the gap.

According to the high-level planning document, the former was chosen to build power storage facilities.

The energy storage solution chosen was not one of those with higher potential, but a simple compressed air energy storage system.

This technology is already very mature at this stage. Compared with other technologies, compressed air energy storage has high efficiency, low cost and fast conversion. Of course, what they have to do now is not to directly apply existing technology and simply plan it, but to upgrade and optimize this technology through the Three Sages System.

Fumihiko Ikari looked at the word "environmental protection" which was emphasized in the plan and shook his head secretly.

Senior executives are developing solar energy, saying it is environmentally friendly, but in their hearts they all want new technology. It is also because Japan currently has sufficient sunshine and is indeed suitable for solar energy.

But I still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“Is the global environment terrible right now?”

After hearing his words, everyone's eyes were focused on Ritsuko Akagi.

"It's not good. The average temperature in China has increased a lot compared to before the Second Impact. The climate abroad is also more extreme. Overall, the Second Impact did make the Earth's environment much worse. Well, some time ago, there were posts and reports discussing environmental protection all over the Internet. I don't know the details, but it seems to be a call for the world to stop carbon emissions."

Hearing this familiar topic, Ikari Fumihiko smiled disdainfully and didn't say much.

But Naoko Akagi spoke up.

“Stop emissions is not realistic.”

Only then did Ikari Fumihiko follow up with a comment.

"They are a bunch of idiots. Problems caused by technology should be solved with technology."

Akagi Naoko responded.

"Correct."

No one else, including Ritsuko Akagi, commented.

The people standing here are all scholars, and their attitude towards this issue is naturally the same as that of Fumihiko Ikari. They believe that environmental problems should be solved through the development of science and technology.

The entire air compression energy storage system was fully upgraded in just one day. According to international industry standards, it is no exaggeration to say that the air compression energy storage system improved by the Three Sages system is centuries ahead of the world. This is after compromising on performance due to cost issues.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Ikari Fumihiko asked Akagi Naoko in a low voice.

"I've been tinkering with this compressed air energy storage system recently and came up with an idea. Can we add a wind power generation system to the EVA lung? We can use it to breathe. As long as the conversion efficiency is high enough, we don't have to worry about the power supply of the connecting device. The driver can fight until he is exhausted."

Even though she was used to Ikari Fumihiko's novel ideas, Naoko Akagi still twitched her lips at this moment.

"Your imagination is really bizarre, but... this plan can indeed be implemented, but it is easy to have accidents during high-intensity combat."

Having said that, she thought for a moment and spoke again.

"According to your plan, we can also add a turbine power generation system near the heart to utilize blood flow."

Ikari Fumihiko laughed dryly.

"Ah……"

Akagi Naoko continued speaking unhappily.

"If these two systems are installed, EVA will probably start to perforate the lungs and rupture blood vessels before the enemy attacks."

Ikari Fumihiko continued to laugh dryly.

The idea came to me in a flash, and I didn't think too much about it at the time.

But I still don't give up.

"If internal modification is unreliable, what about adding a pressure-generated power generation unit to the soles of the shoes?"

Naoko Akagi shook her head helplessly.

This plan sounds reliable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will realize the problem.

"It's useless if the umbilical cord power supply system is disconnected. Once it is disconnected, it means that the battle has reached a fever pitch. At this stage, the pressure power generation unit is too easy to have problems. Once a problem occurs, it will affect the battle... It is not easy for the pilot to operate the EVA to fight the enemy. Don't make it more difficult."

"Ok."

After Ikari Fumihiko responded, he immediately thought of something.

"There is an insulation layer between the EVA and the driver's seat..."

"Are you planning to add a thermal power generation unit inside the insulation layer? Forget it. Not to mention that this design is impossible to implement. Even if it succeeds, the electricity generated by utilizing that little bit of heat energy is simply unusable. Moreover, this modification will increase the risk. The benefits are not proportional to the risks."

Although Fumihiko Ikari's ideas are somewhat unrealistic, the solutions to many problems often come from such flashes of inspiration.

Therefore, Naoko Akagi did not show any impatience.

Ikari Fumiyan smiled helplessly.

"It seems that the only way to solve the EVA endurance problem is to upgrade battery technology."

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything else because there were already other people around.

"This person seems to be Professor Langley?"

"Seems to be."

When I got closer, I confirmed that the person walking towards me was indeed Professor Langrey.

The two of them were a little surprised.

Professor Langrey is now running between two places. He is on the super brain project during the day and comes here to work at night.

It is daytime now, and normally the other party should be working on the super brain project during this period of time.

"Captain Ikari, Team Leader Akagi, good morning."

Professor Langrey's voice was steady when he greeted her, and there was nothing unusual about it, but he looked very haggard.

It's not that he didn't get enough rest. With the help of the American consul, Professor Langrey now uses a rest cabin instead of sleeping every day. Otherwise, he would have died of sudden death with his current pace of running back and forth. The haggard look on his face is the kind of haggardness that comes from encountering a great setback.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts without saying anything.

Something's going on with the super brain.

Akagi Naoko responded calmly.

"Well, good morning."

Ikari Fumihiko asked.

"Didn't Professor Langley go back to rest earlier?"

"Nothing, just looking for something to do."

"Oh."

The three of them just chatted briefly and then parted ways.

17:37:41

363. This ability is somewhat useless

The monitoring of the super brain project is under the control of the Three Sages System. If you want to know what is going on there, there is no need to test it. You can get a general idea just by looking at the monitoring.

Since the matter concerned one of the senior executives, the two decided to find out the situation first.

I walked into the office and pulled up the video.

Fumihiko Ikari watched the surveillance video, while Naoko Akagi browsed the super brain usage log through the spirit network.

After a while, Naoko Akagi raised her head.

“They noticed.”

"Did you notice that I was tampering with you?"

"You and I are the only ones who know the concept of the spiritual network. No one else knows it. The super brain has been disconnected from the Internet, so they can't know that we have tampered with it."

"That means they noticed that the super brain system made a mistake in its calculations?"

"Well, they've been trying to fix that lately."

Naoko Akagi did not go into details, but Fumihiko Ikari knew that the Three Sages System could tamper with the super brain system in real time through the spirit particle network. The situation faced by Professor Langrey and others these days was that just as they fixed one bug, two more popped up, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not solve the problem.

"How long do you think this American consul will endure?"

In response to Ikari Fumihiko's question, Naoko Akagi asked a question in return.

“Are there any special requirements for the medical system in the smart city project?”
