I participated in the development of EVA

I have long been accustomed to it.

As for whether these people will turn against each other.

He had been a little anxious before, but now he doesn't care much, not fearlessly.

But it was a phone call with the American consul today that made him think clearly that although he had no intention of seeking benefits from the tiger, he had no way out given his position, so he had to make a plan even if he didn't want to.

After thinking about this clearly, he realized that it was meaningless to guard against it.

If the higher-ups are really determined to take action, then no matter how much we guard against them, it will be meaningless.

Coming next to Akagi Naoko, Ikari Fumihiko looked at the screen.

At this stage, the only unfinished facilities in the smart city are the solar power generation building, which is mainly due to the problem of superconductivity. The rest have reached the peak of technology at that stage. As long as the details are further optimized, the entire project can be completed. However, subsequent technical verification and other aspects cannot be accomplished by their project team of several hundred people.

It will take at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of relevant professionals to complete the demonstration work in a short period of time. What the Three Sages Project Team needs to do is to provide technical support in the subsequent work.

After looking for a while, Fumihiko Ikari spoke.

"How are your preparations going?"

Akagi Naoko replied.

“It has been debugged.”

Once the details are optimized, the two prototypes will perform superconducting material-related calculations together.

If room-temperature and normal-pressure superconducting materials can be developed, it will not only affect the power grid system, but also the medical industry, the chip industry, etc. It will have a huge impact on almost all walks of life. Of course, improving technology is not the reason why Fumihiko Ikari is obsessed with superconducting materials. He wants to develop superconducting materials mainly to invest them in the research and development of quantum computers.

The performance of the Three Sages system is now locked, and the second generation will have to use gene editing technology to modify the EVA brain, which is obviously not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

Therefore, he proposed a new technical route for the second-generation aircraft.

By combining the Three Sages System with a quantum computer, the Three Sages System will no longer be a computer but a quantum computer program system.

It would be best if this idea could succeed.

Computer performance has been improved again, making it easier to fight against the invasion of Apostles.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed.

Anyway, these are just empty promises made for others to see.

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

“Optimization completed.”

“Sort the documents into categories.”

After the three sages subdivided all the files of the entire smart city according to the professional knowledge involved, they began to establish a connection with the 02 prototype and parallelly calculate the superconducting materials.

Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi came to the office.

"Notify the higher-ups to complete the verification of existing results first."

Unlike Fumihiko Ikari, Naoko Akagi is more concerned about the smart city project.

It’s not that I care about the impact of smart cities, but in theory this project can effectively reduce casualties during an apostle invasion.

Ikari Fumihiko responded.

"it is good."

Then he used the computer next to him to retrieve the surveillance footage from the American consul's secretary.

Although I saw the other party making the call, I couldn't hear the conversation clearly because the other party was using a coffee machine while calling, and the noise created covered up the conversation.

I was a little disappointed, but I didn't care too much and just called the other party.

"Except for the power system, the smart city has basically been completed. Please report this to the senior management."

"Yes."

The American consul's secretary responded immediately.

Through the surveillance, Fumihiko Ikari saw the other party walk out of the eternal life surgery project team and approach an elevator that was not in the surveillance network.

"Where does this elevator lead to?"

"I don't know the exact details. I've only taken this elevator once, to the EVA cemetery on the -3rd floor."

Naoko Akagi did not explain what the EVA Cemetery was, and Fumihiko Ikari did not ask, because the name said it all: the EVA Cemetery was the cemetery where EVA's remains were buried.

"What's on the negative 3rd floor?"

"do not know."

"The top executives live on the negative 3rd floor?"

In response to Ikari Fumihiko's question, Akagi Naoko pondered for a moment before expressing her thoughts.

"It's possible. It could also be that the secret line connecting to external communications is on the negative 3rd floor. He used this line to communicate with the higher-ups in the past."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded and then talked about other things.

"Do you think the top management wants us to transfer the data to the database or to open an external communication line?"

Naoko Akagi gave the answer without even thinking about it.

"database."

In fact, Ikari Fumihiko understood this in his heart. It would be impossible for the top management to connect the Three Sages System to the outside world so easily. He asked this question just out of hope.

The two did not speak again, but waited for nearly an hour before the American consul's secretary appeared in the surveillance network again.

At the same time, he took out his cell phone and called Fumihiko Ikari.

"The higher-ups hope you can transfer the data to the institute's supercomputer database."

"Then come here and I will give you the program to link the Three Sages System."

"Yes."

After seeing the phone hung up, Naoko Akagi gave notice and prepared to get up and leave.

"If there's nothing else here, I'll go back first."

Faced with her hands-off behavior, Fumihiko Ikari felt firsthand the helplessness that Ibuki Megumi felt in her daily life.

"alright."

Shortly after Naoko Akagi left, someone notified the American consul's secretary via the landline that he was coming.

Fumihiko Ikari had him brought to the office.

"Director Ikari."

The American consul's secretary never tires of greeting me respectfully every time they meet, demonstrating to the fullest that courtesy is always appreciated.

Ikari Fumihiko was not moved at all, as he had experienced this kind of compliment too many times.

"This is the USB drive that stores the program for the Three Sages System. Just plug it in and install the program."

"Yes."

The American consul's secretary spoke only after taking the USB drive.

"The top management asked me to tell you that if the power grid cannot achieve superconducting power transmission, there is no need to force it. We can choose the best option as a second choice. It would be best if the final plan for the power grid is confirmed within a week."

Fumihiko Ikari couldn't tell whether this was a provocation or a literal meaning.

After just a moment's thought, I realized that it would be best for me to understand these words literally.

This way you can at least avoid falling into a pit.

"it is good."

"These are all the instructions from the top management. Director Ikari, please be busy. I will go to the supercomputing center first."

"Oh."

Ikari Fumihiko responded again and watched the American consul's secretary leave.

17:42:00

371. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised to see that the relevant database signal was lost after the data transmission was completed.

Even if it is not to prevent it, normally when transferring large amounts of data like this, the fastest way is not network transmission, but this simple physical transportation.

Looking up at the time, he saw that there were still seven hours left before the eternal life surgery project team completed the equipment assembly.

Both project teams had nothing to do, so they decided to go see Ibuki Huimi and Ayanami Rei. However, as soon as they walked out of the office and passed the rest area, they saw a short figure sitting alone on a chair with a lonely expression. She looked like an abandoned child. It was Asuka, who had not been seen for a long time.

Before he could react, several test papers were pushed in front of him.

He subconsciously took a step back and noticed that Asuka was standing on a stool, tiptoeing, and even stretching her arms in order to push the test paper in his face.

As he took the test paper, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"How long have you been waiting for me here?"

Asuka obviously came prepared. Her meeting with me was definitely not a coincidence. She must have been waiting for me many times.

"I wasn't waiting for you, damn guy. This was just a coincidence!"

Fumihiko Ikari shook his head and did not expose Asuka.

After carefully reading the contents of the test paper, I was so shocked that I was speechless.

It has only been a short time since we last met, but the five-year-old Asuka has already learned the knowledge of the fifth grade of elementary school. This learning ability is really scary.

He is indeed a super genius who can graduate from college at the age of fourteen.

When Asuka saw Fumihiko Ikari raise his head and look at her again, although his face was expressionless and his eyes were still deep, she still felt his shock.

He said this with a smug look on his face.

"How about it!"

Ikari Fumihiko wanted to continue to attack Asuka and let her keep trying, but when he thought of her lonely figure sitting on the bench, the words on his lips changed, "Amazing, really amazing. To be honest, it's beyond my expectation that you can achieve this at your age. You are worthy of being Kyoko's child. I formally apologize to you for doubting your mother Kyoko before."

He straightened his expression and looked serious.

"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real talent and slandered Professor Kyoko."

Asuka became excited immediately, but she reacted quickly. As if in order not to be looked down upon by Ikari Fumihiko, she suppressed her excitement and snorted coldly instead.

"I told you! I was born from the union of excellent sperm and egg. I am a chosen person, a special person."

As if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but show off again.

"Or he is destined to be chosen to save all mankind."

Fumihiko Ikari wanted to laugh, but there was nothing he could do because Asuka's expression was too awkward.

"Oh? How did you get chosen?"

Even if she is a genius, it cannot change the fact that Asuka is just a five-year-old child.

"Humph - I'm an EVA pilot! In the future I'm destined to shoulder the mission of saving all mankind."

"Awesome, really awesome, I never thought you were an EVA pilot."

Asuka was stunned for a moment.

"Do you know EVA?"

"Yeah, that's right. That thing was developed here."

Asuka's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What? You developed EVA?"

"I participated in the research and development. Well, it was probably just installing a screw."

Asuka had heard her nominal father call him Director Ikari. Ordinary children would not notice this, and their intelligence was very low. Not only did she notice it, she even understood the meaning of the director's identity. "Damn it! You bastard, are you treating me like a fool? No matter how stupid the people here are, they won't be stupid enough to let an incompetent idiot be the director!"

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment, then picked up Asuka with one hand.

"what--"

Asuka screamed suddenly.

"Asshole, let me go!"
