"Li, prepare for impact, the N2 bomb will detonate in five seconds."

"Unit-0, received."

“五秒倒计时,5、4、3、2、1、0——起爆!”

As the staff pressed the detonator, flames shot up into the sky, the earth trembled, and a mushroom cloud larger than yesterday's rose up!

It was as if a scorching sun was rising from the earth.

"Heat energy is leaking. The temperature behind the force field has increased slightly and has now reached 53 degrees Celsius... Leaking heat energy is being lost, and the temperature is dropping. It is not certain whether it is the reactive armor that is consuming heat energy or the force field itself..."

"Project 055, phase transfer detected."

"043... detected..."

"096..."

"136..."

The soul matter affected by the outside world became more active. Of the more than 200 preset plans, only four still responded, which once again confirmed the existence of soul matter and proved that Fumihiko Ikari proposed that the AT force field resists attacks through phase transfer. The so-called phase transfer means that the energy base state inside the AT force field is higher than the surrounding area, which causes the energy in contact with the force field to automatically transfer to the surrounding area with relatively low energy density.

To put it simply, it is like continuing to pour water into a bucket that is full of water. The water will directly overflow from the bucket.

"Li, report the situation."

Due to the impact of the explosion shock wave, communications have not been restored yet.

However, through the information fed back by the cameras within the protection range of the AT force field and the internal sensors of the EVA, it can be determined that Unit 00 was not damaged. It was just that the high temperature generated at the moment of the explosion penetrated the AT force field and affected the internal temperature, causing the reactive armor to react and some white smoke to rise and spread. These white smoke also allowed everyone to observe the phase transfer phenomenon inside the force field with the naked eye.

"The communication signal was disrupted by the shock wave and is being restored... 5... 2, 1... Communication is back to normal."

After hearing this report, Ikari Fumihiko called out again.

"Korea."

"Unit-0, received."

"Debrief the situation."

"Unit 0, undamaged."

"I'm asking about your situation."

"The force field is fully activated, which consumes a lot of physical energy."

Seeing that Ayanami Rei was just a little exhausted, Fumihiko Ikari relaxed.

"The force field consumes not only physical energy, but also mental and physical energy, which is the so-called..."

He almost opened his mouth to say chakra, but fortunately he finally reacted.

"Heart power."

Without waiting for Rei Ayanami to speak, he spoke again.

"Mission accomplished, come back."

"Yes."

Unit 0 retracted the force field, and the heat rushed in, just like when it was diverted by the force field before, madly invading this low-temperature area. White smoke rose again from the reactive armor shield that had originally quieted down, more than before, providing Unit 0 with a barrier like a protective shield, blocking the heat energy outside.

In fact, without the protection provided by the reactive armor, Unit 0 would not be affected too much. After all, this is the residual heat in the atmosphere after the explosion.

And the AT force field was retracted, not completely disappeared.

Unit 00 dragged its shield back to the safe zone. After getting off Unit 00, Rei Ayanami ran to the locker room to check whether her Coke was taken away and drunk by Fumihiko Ikari.

This kind of thing has actually happened before. One time, Fumihiko Ikari found that the Coke in the vending machine in the project team was sold out, and he thought that Rei Ayanami must have hidden some, so he took advantage of Rei Ayanami's training and secretly drank the Coke hidden in her closet.

"Fortunately, no one stole my drink."

Then he moved the Coke around like a hamster.

Rei Ayanami did not turn off the communication, so this sentence was clearly heard by everyone in the command room, and everyone immediately cast suspicious looks at Ikari Fumihiko.

Ikari Fumihiko could only cough dryly to hide his embarrassment.

"Hey, Li, you didn't turn off the microphone."

"what?"

Rei Ayanami hurriedly turned off her communication system.

The people around were not very familiar with Ikari Fumihiko, and they still remembered his anger just now, so no one said anything about Ikari Fumihiko stealing Rei Ayanami's Coke.

Everyone turned their attention back to the experimental data from this time, and also discussed the rules for the third experiment based on the feedback data. After a brief discussion, almost all scholars voted in favor of removing the nuclear explosion that had not yet appeared, and the N2 that participated in the two experiments from the subsequent test experiments.

A nuclear explosion only has one more layer of radiation damage than N2. This has been verified on the body. It's not that nuclear radiation has no effect on EVA, but the benefit of using nuclear bombs is too low and the cost performance is not appropriate.

Not to mention the damage caused by nuclear pollution to the environment. Every explosion compresses human living space. Unless it is a desperate situation, weapons such as nuclear bombs will naturally not be used if possible.

437.eva is the safest choice

If the N2 bomb wants to cause the highest theoretical damage to EVA, it must take advantage of the one or two seconds of several thousand degrees high generated in a small range in the core at the moment of explosion. This experiment is very dangerous, and Fumihiko Ikari will not agree. Moreover, the manufacturing cost of the N2 bomb is very complicated, and it is too expensive to carry out the previous two such experiments.

Of course, cost is not the main reason. The fundamental reason is that N2 is the only weapon other than nuclear bombs and EVA that can threaten the apostles.

If there is a replacement plan, the natural thing is to keep as many N2 bombs as possible to deal with the Apostle crisis.

The first alternative weapon proposed was the high-energy laser.

"Can EVA survive in a vacuum?"

When it comes to laser technology, humans are still in the early stages, and it can only exert weapon-level destructive power under specific conditions.

Ikari Fumihiko lowered his head and thought for a moment.

The new version of the plot clearly states that Eva can survive in a space environment, but he is not sure whether he is in a new theater or the original plot.

"Theoretically yes."

After hearing his answer, some scholars' eyes lit up and they even forgot about their current research projects.

"Without any modification, EVA can operate in space?"

"Theoretically yes."

The fact that EVA can operate in space itself is not very meaningful, this remark is mainly just an introduction.

The scholar paused and spoke again.

"Minister Ikari, I think that in the current situation, in addition to the research on EVA, the remaining scientific research resources should be invested in space research. If the time for the next appearance of the apostles is long enough, then even if humans are defeated in the future, they can still have a way out, just like the Spark Plan you mentioned."

“I personally have no opinion on this.”

Fumihiko Ikari is not against escapism, but he thinks humans may not have a chance to escape.

It's not about space technology or enemy blocking. It's mainly about whether Lilith, the creator of human beings, allows such behavior. After all, Lilith created the creatures on Earth for the purpose of evolving to a higher level, not because she felt lonely or the world was too deserted... or other human mythological reasons.

"If we want to achieve rapid success in this area, we definitely need the technical support of the Three Sages System, Minister Ikari, please take a look."

"System resources are tight right now. As long as the higher-ups allow, I can build a prototype of the Three Sages for you to use in your research."

Everyone was stunned, obviously not expecting Ikari Fumihiko to have such an attitude on the issue of the Three Sages.

The power of the Three Sages system is obvious to all, and there is no force in NERV that is not envious of it.

The man came to his senses and asked back in disbelief.

"really?"

"really."

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment, but still added a sentence.

"But there is one thing I want to make clear in advance. There is a lepton network between the three sage prototypes, which means that their souls are shared. You can think of it as having the same soul and being able to connect in a similar way to quantum communication. Of course, the network coverage has not been verified, so I cannot give you specific data."

This point is actually not revealed to anyone. As long as the prototypes of the Three Sages in the outside world are connected to the Internet, he can use it to control the external network.

However, judging from the attitudes shown by everyone before, the probability of this happening is extremely low. In this case, instead of waiting until the thunder explodes and causes trouble for yourself, it is better to be generous and say it in advance.

"Spiritual network?"

"It's just another name for the Soul Network."

"Like the parallel connection of consciousness of Unit-00's pilot?"

"Correct."

"From now on, any operation we perform using the Three Sages prototype you provided can be controlled by you..."

Halfway through his speech, the man came to his senses and immediately changed his words without changing his expression.

"Is it recorded by this spirit network?"

"Correct."

At this moment, all the forces that coveted the Three Sages System hesitated.

As I said, everyone is selfish, no matter what time it is. If all operations are monitored by the spiritual network, what a mess, there will be no privacy at all.

But some people are happy and some are sad.

Most scholars liked this unexpected surprise.

"Can the spirit network only read the sub-machine information through the host, or can they exchange information without any obstacles?"

“No-hassle exchange.”

The topic completely shifted from weapons testing to the establishment of the Three Sages Network.

While scholars are discussing the issue enthusiastically, the actual control lies in the hands of senior officials.

Since the senior officials had not made any statement, the military could no longer sit still.

"Everyone, let's put aside the matter of the spirit network for now and focus on the weapons testing experiment again."

Some scholars who knew the inside story expressed disdain, because the scholar who initially diverted the topic has been serving the US military.

However, no scholar said anything about this matter.

Everyone started discussing the specific details of the next test again. After the discussion, the meeting did not end. Although this experiment was mainly based on testing the AT force field data, it also included the development of weapon systems. Everyone began to discuss what weapons would be most lethal to the AT force field in the future, and conceptual weapons with different development directions were proposed.

"Minister Ikari, which direction do you think is more suitable?"

"Personally, I think for close combat, we can start with high-vibration particles, and for long-range combat, we can start with positive positrons."

These two weapons are standard equipment for EVA in the original work.

Someone mentioned this in the discussion just now, but it was not discussed in too much detail.

However, Fumihiko Ikari's personal influence is not comparable to that person. He does not have much say in other professional fields, but he has absolute say in the EVA field.

Scholars are thinking about the feasibility.

The military and senior officials were the first to express their views.

"Then we will start with the research on these two weapons."

In addition to the two weapons proposed by Fumihiko Ikari, more than a dozen more weapons were added later.

The high-energy laser tested later was one of them.

Although this weapon was given priority for testing, it had the lowest priority sequence for being equipped as a weapon.

In the atmospheric environment, laser weapons are severely affected by the atmosphere and are also affected by the weather, and cannot be deployed around the clock.

The military and senior officials modified fortifications in preparation for laser testing.

Scholars used the Three Sages System to further improve the existing laser weapons, and with the cooperation of Unit 00, they manufactured targeted soul matter detection devices. During this period, mankind's existing weapons took turns to be put into battle. Except for the high-speed air force that could harass the EVA that lacked long-range attacks, the rest of the weapons and equipment were like toys in front of the behemoth EVA.

Faced with this situation, the military raised questions.

"After these weapons and equipment are developed, they don't necessarily have to be equipped with EVA, right?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ikari Fumihiko. Apparently, apart from military personnel, many people had similar thoughts.

"I've actually already said this about this issue. The AT force field is not a force that can only be used to defend against attacks. No one can predict what it can do. EVA is the safest choice. Of course, this is my personal opinion."
