I participated in the development of EVA

"The Consul is not in a good condition to talk too much right now. Director Ikari, if you have anything to say to the Consul, it won't be too late to say it after the operation is completed."

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at the American consul's secretary and knew that the other party would take over all the words, and it was meaningless to continue to put pressure on him with words.

The other party came so anxiously, obviously he could no longer wait and wanted to undergo surgery as soon as possible.

He was eager to end this unequal confrontation, to make the sickle representing death that had been hanging over his head fall down, or for the sickle to be taken back by the god of death.

Now that we have realized this, we naturally have to take advantage of it.

He didn't need to do anything deliberately now. He just postponed the update of the digital model that should have been completed first, and opened a bottle of Coke and drank it slowly in front of the American consul who couldn't eat or drink. If he hadn't quit smoking after the time travel, he would even want to light a cigarette for himself at this time to make the other person cough more violently.

The American consul swallowed obviously, which obviously aroused his appetite.

The secretary stepped forward again.

"Director Ikari, according to the procedure, you should update the digital model now, right!?"

Ikari Fumihiko is no longer the Wuxia A'mon of the past.

He responded calmly.

"The computing power is occupied by other projects and can only be transferred later."

Then he spoke again.

"Consul, don't you have any children? Why aren't they with you at this critical moment?"

Just as he expected, the person who answered the phone was the secretary.

"The consul's relatives all died in the second impact."

hiss--

How cruel! He is worthy of being a big shot. He is willing to sacrifice his relatives for great things... Uh, no, the second impact was an accident, not intentional.

"Second impact? It's really a topic that cannot be avoided."

"Yes, it is to prevent such a tragedy from happening again that the consuls gathered together and devoted everything to prevent the Third Impact from happening. Of course, it is mainly because of your outstanding scholars that you bring hope to mankind. Otherwise... even if the consuls put in more effort, there is no possibility of preventing the Third Impact from happening."

Feeling the admiring gazes from the doctors and nurses in the room, his expression did not change.

I have heard such compliments too many times.

"The current achievements are not the result of the efforts of one or two people, but the result of the joint efforts of everyone."

He changed the subject.

"In fact, I have always been a little curious about what the top leaders want to do with the smart city project."

The secretary was stunned.

Bringing a private medical team here, in addition to preventing accidents and providing rescue at any time, is more to make Ikari Fumihiko feel a little worried and not to take the initiative to talk about these important matters. If this calculation can succeed, it would be the best, and I will have more bargaining chips in the future. If it fails, it doesn't matter, just regard it as my sincerity in cooperation.

He glanced at the American consul, received his eye signal, and then took out a document, which was obviously prepared in advance.

Ikari Fumihiko took the document and began to read it.

The above content is not much, just a rough description of the relevant layout of the smart city project.

Use the technology derived from the project to expand its own influence, carry out targeted infiltration of politicians from various countries, and when the time is right, go directly to the open, negotiate with various countries, integrate global forces to establish an organization to fight against mysterious creatures, and respond to the third impact crisis that may endanger the fate of all mankind at any time.

In addition, some secret arrangements made by the top management were also mentioned.

After reading the document, he felt it was a bit outrageous.

Isn't this plan too simple? It's like putting an elephant in a refrigerator. It only takes three steps: open the refrigerator, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator.

Uh……

wrong.

I was thinking too complicated.

After all, a country is made up of individuals and cannot be viewed as a whole. As long as a person is a person, he or she has weaknesses. Moreover, the benefits offered by Seele are enough to attract anyone to join the game. Even if they are afraid, they will accept it outwardly because they will face the crisis of the extinction of all mankind together in the future.

The secretary spoke only after he saw that he had finished reading the document.

"These are just preliminary plans. The final plan has not yet been finalized due to the absence of the Consul."

He thought the secretary had stopped talking there, but he didn't expect the other party to add another sentence.

"Take the consul to the medical room and wait."

"Yes."

The secretary spoke again only after there were only two people left in the command room.

"Although the Consul has been absent from the high-level meetings for a year, he still received the news. After the final plan is agreed upon, the other senior executives will most likely push you to the surface as a sign of their sincerity in the negotiations. The Hyacinth Project leaked the neural connection device as a stepping stone to create momentum, let the world know about your amazing talent, and let the world focus on you to increase bargaining chips."

Ikari Fumihiko was surprised, but also not surprised.

From the moment he took the position of director, he had guessed that the top management would have such an escape plan.

Regardless of whether the plan is successful or not.

The top leaders will not come forward in public. After all, this scheme is undoubtedly courting disaster and if one is not careful, the entire army will be wiped out.

He felt that the top leaders would most likely do as they had originally thought, abandoning most of their forces and him as a sufficiently eye-catching bait, and then launching some substitutes to bear the fear and suspicion of various countries, allowing the real power holders of Seele to hide deeper, and even propose an initiative to eliminate Seele in meetings of various countries.

"Consuls, with such a plan, aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of?"

Faced with such huge interests, the difference between major countries is only in how well they eat, not the question of whether to eat or not.

The secretary hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether it was true or not, before speaking again.

"All the preparations that the consuls have made over the years are to prevent the Third Impact and allow the human race to continue. They have no selfish motives. Even if they have, they will wait until all the mysterious creatures are destroyed and the threat of the Third Impact is eliminated. Now, at most they are just trying to gain a little bit of profit. Otherwise, there is no need for the consuls to make such an arrangement that would benefit the tiger."

If it were someone else, even if they didn't believe it, they would still hesitate to some extent.

Fumihiko Ikari knows about the Human Completion Project.

Naturally, they can understand the real intention behind this confusing operation of the top management. To make the whole world work for them, they only need to hide and wait for the invading apostles to be eliminated so that the completion plan can be implemented smoothly.

"Well, I understand. You mean, the consuls will sacrifice everything to deal with the whole world? Even if they die, they will have no regrets?"

The secretary remained calm.

"I don't know about the others, but at least the American consul has this awareness."

Ikari Fumihiko wanted to laugh but finally held it back, but still complained in his heart.

If this is true, then a saint cannot demonstrate his saintly temperament unless he has a beautiful tattoo on his body.

“It’s just magnificent.”

17:45:19

378. Mirror Flow probably has no hope, and can only draw the account——

This is not only a compliment to the American consul, but also a foundation for future cooperation.

The secretary did not know about the Human Instrumentality Project, but knew that the top leaders did not have any plans to rule the world or provoke war. Since they would not do anything to harm the world, these words were not false in a sense. Although she knew in her heart that given Ikari Fumihiko's intelligence, it would be meaningless to say more such words, but what if he believed it in the future?

Just like the basic and mid-level academics in the organization who believe it.

"Mr. Consul, I hope to have a chance to discuss this with you in person after today. The higher-ups are pushing you to the surface as a gesture of good faith."

Fumihiko Ikari knew that this was the other party reminding him of the value of the American consul.

"That's really exciting."

After a pause, he added.

"The smell of the nearby sea is too strong. I think it should be purified. What do you think?"

Making a request does not mean that he really wants to do such a thing, but it is to show his willingness to cooperate and give the other party a chance to prove his or her own value.

The secretary's smile became more sincere.

In this cooperation, they are not afraid of any demands made by Ikari Fumihiko, but they are afraid that Ikari Fumihiko has no desires.

"This will definitely be what you want."

After a pause, he spoke again.

"You should know that it is almost impossible to completely purify the ocean with current technology. Of course, this does not mean that I doubt your talent. It is just that we, as mortals, can see the problem from our perspective. If you have an invention that is ahead of its time and can accomplish such a thing, we will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

"You know about the nature reserve over in New Tokyo-Daichi, right?"

"Yes, I have learned a little bit."

"It's probably like that, enclosing a piece of ocean to create a marine ecological reserve."

"Okay, I will report this matter to the Consul later."

Fumihiko Ikari once again showed kindness.

"Let's talk about everything after the operation is over."

"Yes."

The two said nothing more.

Only then did Fumihiko Ikari import the data into the Three Sages System and completed the update of the digital model.

The person is no longer here, so there is no need to dwell on this point.

It will be enough to put pressure on equipment debugging. In fact, even if there is no restraint in creating pressure, the American consul must be having a miserable life now.

Time passed by little by little, and after half an hour the secretary could no longer bear it.

"Director Ikari, are you not ready for surgery yet?"

Ikari Fumihiko knew that the other party misunderstood that he was deliberately delaying time.

"Go down and take a look yourself. The medical cabin, artificial intubation, and related equipment are not ready yet."

If it were any other matter, the secretary would never be so impatient, but he couldn't hold back on this matter. The reason for this was not only loyalty, but also that all the power and wealth he had now came from the American consul. Once the American consul died, he would lose everything he had, including his life...

During the period when he was exercising consular rights on behalf of others, he was exposed to too many secrets.

He no longer cared about being rude or showing weakness, which would make the situation unfavorable for future negotiations.

"Then I'll go down and take a look."

"Oh."

Just as he walked out, his cell phone rang.

It was a communication from the American consul, and he answered it immediately without hesitation.

"Mr. Consul, let me ask you about your conversation with Director Ikari."

"Please tell the Consul that we don't have to wait that long. We can start the operation as soon as the equipment is ready. We need to wait and see what happens over there."

After a long time, a voice came from the other end of the phone. This time it was not the doctor who helped to make the call, but the American consul himself.

"Go over there... urge them..."

"Yes."

Ikari Fumihiko heard the entire conversation. Although he didn't know whether this was a script prepared in advance, he felt that it didn't matter whether it was a script or not. No one could remain calm in the current situation.

Then he heard the secretary ask a question.

"Can you go faster?"

In fact, even if the other party didn't ask this question, he would speak at this time.

"We are making life support equipment now to ensure that the consul can survive the operation. You should know that panic happens in times of emergency."

"Uh……"

The secretary was stunned for a moment before leaving a sentence.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Then he turned and walked out of the command room.

In fact, the internal situation is being broadcasted on the big screen in the command room, but some things still need to be verified with one’s own eyes.

Fumihiko Ikari was the only one left in the command room, and he felt like a wise man after the event.

It was not until then that I figured out one thing. Why did the other party propose "helping me realize my dream of creating a virtual online game" as a condition for cooperation? It was obviously paving the way for "handing him over as a gesture of sincerity." After all, the greater his reputation, the greater his sincerity in cooperation, and the greater the chance of reaching cooperation with other countries.

If I hadn't agreed at the beginning, I would have put forward other conditions.
