I participated in the development of EVA

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari recalled the weapons and equipment in the original work.

"Long-range weapons will probably be closer to positrons, and close combat will probably be high-vibration particle knives."

"It's not that complicated, right? I remember there is a restraint relationship between Longinus Metal and the AT force field! If we make it into a cannonball, it can be fired with gunpowder or electromagnetically."

Influenced by the original plot, Fumihiko Ikari actually overlooked Longinus Metal.

Although the artificial Longinus metal cannot penetrate the AT force field as easily as the real artifact Spear of Longinus, it still has a certain restraining relationship with the AT force field.

He lowered his head in thought, and Akagi Naoko added another sentence.

"We may even be able to extract the key substance to annihilate the at force field through research on this metal."

In the original novel, there was no research and development in this area. Was it because of insufficient production capacity? Or was it that the weapons made were far less powerful than positron weapons? Or was it that the development in this area was deliberately restricted?

He felt that the last possibility was more likely. It was very likely that Ikari Gendō directly used the highest authority of the Three Sages System obtained from Akagi Naoko to block the research in this area by forces other than Seele. The reason he thought so was because he remembered that at the end of the original work, the mass-produced machine used the Pseudo-Lance of Longinus made of Longinus metal to hunt down Unit 2.

"Is there any information on this in the archives?"

Naoko Akagi used a computer to search the internal database.

“There is only data for use, but no data for production and research.”

He also searched it in his mind at the same time.

"I've been to the third underground floor before, and it seems that there is no such information stored there."

After a pause, he opened his mouth to explain.

"You test the Longinus metal. I'll go to the third underground floor to take a look."

“There is no relevant testing equipment here.”

"Then wait until I come back."

"it is good."

He stood up and left the Three Sages Project Team, and came to the elevator on the third underground floor, but was stopped by the guards there.

"I'm sorry, Minister Ikari, the third underground floor is under maintenance and we can't go there for the time being."

"Notify your superiors. I need to check the information on the third floor underground."

"it is good."

The guard reported the news to his superiors.

After waiting for a while, a man came from a distance.

"Minister Ikari, there are safety hazards on the third underground floor. It is too dangerous for you to go down. If you need any information, just let us know."

Ikari Fumihiko naturally didn't believe it. What safety hazard? It was just that they didn't want him to enter the third underground floor.

"I need information on Longinus Metal."

"Just a moment."

The visitor reported to his superiors again, and still soon received news.

"I'm sorry, Minister Ikari, but there is no relevant information in the archives on the third underground floor."

Now Ikari Fumihiko understood.

Longinus Metal is the basis for Seele to negotiate with the three major countries.

At the same time, he also had some guesses about the manufacturing process of this so-called Longinus metal. It should be made by mixing some special substances into regular metal. No wonder Seele is the real leader of NERV in the original work, and the behemoth like the United Nations has become a background board. In the original work, Seele not only controls the highest authority of the Three Sages System, but also controls the Longinus metal necessary for the manufacture of EVA.

"Oh."

He responded and turned and left.

He no longer had any expectations for the artificial synthesis of Longinus metal, but he still recruited the head of the materials department.

He got straight to the point and asked directly.

"You have tested the Longinus metal, right?"

In the one and a half months since the three major countries entered the game, in addition to learning the technology, most of their time should have been spent on deciphering various technologies.

The Three Wise Men System is the key, and the new metal Longinus must also be within the scope of deciphering.

The head of the materials department hesitated for a moment and then shook his head with a wry smile.

"We have indeed tested it and tried to synthesize it, but we are missing a key unknown substance, so we have made no progress in this regard."

After a month and a half, they seemed to have the situation under control and had almost digested all the knowledge. However, except for the neural connection device, they were unable to replicate all other core technologies. Even the neural connection device that could be successfully replicated could only be made by copying others, but they had no idea of ​​the specific operating principles inside.

wrong!

It’s not that I don’t understand the principle, but I don’t understand why it is designed like this.

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko's expression of "as expected", he couldn't help but ask.

"You also don't know how to synthesize this unknown substance?"

"I have never been trusted by the top management of this organization, and a lot of confidential information was learned at that meeting."

"Is there no way to decipher the Three Sages System?"

"Its performance is not so exaggerated that it can create something out of nothing."

"You ask this because you are planning to use Longinus Metal to make anti-AT force field weapons?"

"I do have this idea. Please report it to your superiors."

"it is good."

17:56:42

423. Barrier

Now the two areas, the third underground floor and the second apostle Lilith, are under the control of the three major countries. Fumihiko Ikari can only hope that the teams from the three major countries can find a way to create artificial Longinus metal.

Returned to the Three Sages Project Team.

Naoko Akagi seemed to have anticipated the result.

"Didn't find the information?"

"Well, I think the manufacturing process of this alloy is to mix regular metal with a special substance."

"This special substance is completely controlled by Seele?"

"Correct."

Naoko Akagi said this with a hint of emotion.

"As expected, no matter what time it is, the internal fighting between humans will never stop. Is this because there is a wall between people's hearts? So they can't understand each other?"

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned when he heard this.

"If you dismantle the wall of your heart, do you know what will happen?"

"It loses its form and dissolves into lcl."

"This is just the physical level. On a deeper level, without this barrier, everyone will indiscriminately spy on what others are thinking, and all the filth and beauty will be presented to others without reservation."

Naoko Akagi looked at him in surprise.

"Your reaction is a bit exaggerated. Did you associate it with something?"

Ikari Fumihiko shut his mouth.

What he thought of naturally was the Human Completion Project, which can be interpreted in two ways.

The first so-called completion is the completion of human beings themselves.

The general meaning is that human beings are too fragile and therefore very easy to be hurt.

If humans want to evolve to a higher realm, they must free their minds from the constraints of their bodies and return to the birthplace of humans, the 'Lilith Egg'. Only in this way can the spiritual barriers between people be completely removed, and different spiritual worlds can complement each other, thus reaching the end of evolution.

Become a god-like existence in the concept of human beings.

The second is to sacrifice all of humanity to complete Lilith, the second apostle of God who created mankind.

There is not much difference between the two in essence, but there is a certain deviation in the results. In the end, is it Lilith who made humans, or is it humans who made Lilith.

The reason why he prefers the latter.

This is because the new movie version clearly reveals that it is impossible for humans to become gods without knowing the will of Lilith, and that the Dead Sea Scrolls exist, which record information that humans have no access to at all.

"Nothing. I just had the same thought after coming into contact with the AT force field. What would the world be like if there were no barriers between people?"

Although he knew that it would be fine if he didn't explain, he still couldn't help but open his mouth to explain.

Akagi Naoko responded indifferently.

"Oh."

Obviously he didn't care about these things and didn't think about going into them further.

After this episode, the two returned to their previous daily rhythm and conquered battery technology through the Three Sages System and the three major country teams.

The professionalism of the members of the three major national scientific research teams in the field of batteries far exceeds that of Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi. Compared with them, it is no exaggeration to say that the two are laymen. However, the initiative of this project is still in the hands of the two. It is not the identity of Minister Fumihiko Ikari that leads to this result, but the fact that the highest authority of the Three Sages System is in the hands of the two.

Their knowledge and talents only provide ideas to assist the Three Sages System to complete research faster.

Yes!

It means to assist.

Even this group of scholars who stood at the top of the pyramid in the battery field, did not even carry out the auxiliary work for long before they were eclipsed and became no different from ordinary employees. Because they could not keep up with the speed of independent research and development of the Three Sages System, they could not even understand the ideas. Often, when they just caught up with the ideas, the Three Sages System had already advanced dozens or hundreds of steps again.

This situation made them give up thinking.

It was not until then that the three major countries truly felt the horror of the Three Sages System.

Three days later, at the weapons testing meeting.

Without even asking Fumihiko Ikari to raise any objections, another weapons testing plan was submitted to him.

"Minister Ikari, we reviewed the plan we made last time and found that it was somewhat lacking in consideration. This is the revised plan. Please review it."

Although the way they spoke was no different from before, he still noticed that the attitudes of these people seemed to have changed.

"Ah."

He took the document from one of the four beautiful assistants.

He opened it and took a quick look.

Compared with the first version, this version has greatly weakened the experimental equivalent, and at the same time increased the protection project for Unit 00 during the experiment. The previous weapon testing method was aimed at proving the limit value of the AT force field, highlighting a simple, rough and quick approach, while this one is mainly based on feedback data deduction.

In addition, the originally selected experimental site was moved from the waters near Japan to an uninhabited island on the high seas.

He wasn't surprised.

His past achievements only attracted the attention of the three major countries.

The reason for this is very simple. The three major countries gather the world's most cutting-edge talents, which makes them think that they can do it too.

In their view, Seele, a non-state organization, led a group of unknown scholars and spent less than seven years researching all this around the second apostle Lilith. They had more advanced talents, equipment and resources, so there was no reason why they could not do the same thing. They even felt that they could do better.

Seele and this so-called genius of mine just got the upper hand.

As long as they invest enough resources and spend some time, they can kick out unstable factors such as themselves and Seele.

Now, the terrifying performance demonstrated by the activation of the Three Sages System has made the three major countries immediately realize the gap. With the existence of such a supercomputer that is far ahead of its time, they will never be able to catch up with the speed of technological iteration guided by the Three Sages System, and the technological barriers will only become higher and higher with the passage of time. This is why they were forced to change their attitudes.

As for seizing control of the Three Sages System?

Not to mention the consequences of killing the two developers Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi, the future maintenance of the Three Sages System alone would not be something they could handle.

What’s more, there is the potential threat of the apostles today.

They could delay taking over everything in the institute for a month and a half, but they would not be so foolish as to dig their own graves.

Defeating the apostles and ensuring the continuation of humanity are the most critical common interests.

Everyone present looked at Ikari Fumihiko in silence.

After a while, Fumihiko Ikari withdrew his gaze from the document.

"Okay, let's follow this plan."
