I participated in the development of EVA

Some people agree that EVA is the safest way to fight against the Apostles, but there are also many people who raise objections.

"The development of modern weapons has always been about pursuing the goal of delivering devastating strikes at the longest distance."

The meaning of this point of view is very clear, which is to launch a devastating attack on the apostles beyond visual range.

Ikari Fumihiko had thought about similar questions before.

In the original novel, there are powerful weapons such as positron cannons, so why not just make them into artillery batteries and deploy them globally? Why don't they have to let EVA use them? Later I realized that these weapons may not be able to be used normally without EVA. No... to be precise, they cannot be used normally without the AT force field.

"The weapons are powerful enough, so this arrangement is naturally the best."

His answer stunned the military personnel.

Then he came to his senses and spoke.

"I was a bit too picky before. Until other technologies mature, we have no choice."

Topics like this will appear almost every day in subsequent research.

The reason why this happens is simple.

People are adapting to EVA's presence.

It can also be said that mankind is adapting to this new era of apostolic existence.

The third experiment began half a month later.

In a huge enclosed room.

On one side was a laser transmitter that was disassembled from somewhere and recreated and improved by the Three Sages System. On the other side, Unit 0 was covered with a heat-insulating suit, which looked bloated and funny. Compared to humans, the space in this room was very large, but it was a bit small for EVA.

Unit 00 was lying on the ground with a huge shield in front of it.

"We have already started extracting the air from the room. Li, concentrate on your side and report any problems immediately."

"receive."

Hundreds of devices are running simultaneously, rapidly extracting the air from the huge room.

Although the preset requirement was to create a vacuum environment, this experiment did not actually create a vacuum environment. There was no other way. In order to obtain more data as quickly as possible, everything had to be done quickly. The test sites were temporarily transformed based on the original buildings of the submarine base. They were not sealed enough and the construction materials were not strong enough.

"The room has reached capacity."

After hearing the report, Fumihiko Ikari took a look at the data on the screen.

"Li, report the situation."

"No abnormality."

"Speak up when you are about to give up, don't force it."

"Yes."

"Oh, by the way, the supplies have arrived, and inside is a box of Coke that I requested for you. Um, it's in the warehouse behind you."

Although the important person in the command room did not show any change in expression, he still complained in his heart.

How stupid are we to place the late-stage supplies near the test site?

This was a very poor statement, and it was hard to fool anyone, just to fool a child, which was just right for Rei Ayanami. As Ikari Fumihiko's voice fell, Unit 0 turned its head and looked back, as if it wanted to see the warehouse behind it and the box of Coke placed inside through the wall.

Rei Ayanami's eyes became determined.

Everyone could see the iron will in his eyes.

I will definitely protect Coke.

Although this scene was not the first time it happened, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.

The future destiny of mankind will actually depend on Coca-Cola.

While it is absurd and ridiculous, it also shows that what Fumihiko Ikari predicted was correct, the at force field is a power that comes from the mind.

"The synchronization rate is increasing rapidly... 132.36%!"

Judging from the appearance alone, there is no change on the body of the Unit 0 after it enters the overclocking state.

"Concentrate the energy and start preheating the laser launch device."

"Yes."

As the order was issued, the entire base fell into darkness. All equipment except for key equipment stopped receiving power. All energy output from the nuclear power devices on the three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers was concentrated on the laser launching device. This was used to store energy and provide sufficient energy for the heat dissipation device to prevent the laser device from accumulating too much heat and burning.

"The device has been preheated and is ready to launch."

Fumihiko Ikari's eyes fell on Ayanami Rei on the screen.

"Li, deploy the force field and prepare for defense."

"receive."

at force field fully deployed!

"Observation failed, reason: soul matter activity is too low."

Even if the synchronization rate reaches over 100% and the quality of soul matter is improved, it is still impossible to observe it with current human technology when its activity is low.

"Enter the five-second countdown."

“5、4、3、2、1、0。”

"emission!"

A high-energy laser shot out and shone directly on the at force field.

The scene in the picture was not as earth-shattering as the previous N2 bomb explosion, and looked rather plain and simple.

When the laser hit the at force field, it seemed as if it couldn't find a point of force, and it spread out in all directions, with all its power acting on the wall.

"Soul matter has been successfully observed."

Strictly speaking, we have not actually observed soul matter yet. With the current level of human technology, it is impossible to do such a thing. Instead, we have observed the existence of soul matter through the changes of other substances in the at force field space, and at the same time, we have reversed the relevant data of soul matter in this way.

"Heat leak detected, the temperature inside the force field is rising rapidly..."

Everyone present looked delighted.

“It’s better to use a point-to-point approach.”

But this joy did not last long, because no matter how much the laser power increased, the temperature inside the force field remained at around 56 degrees and would not rise any higher.

"It's not thermal penetration, it's selective thermal penetration by the force field."

"Reducing energy consumption in this way?"

"It could also be that soul matter is most active at this temperature."

At this time, the laser power has been increased to the highest level, and the surrounding walls are rapidly dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rei Ayanami was having a hard time resisting at this moment.

"Debrief the situation."

"I can still...

After confirming that Ayanami Rei still had the energy to speak, Ikari Fumihiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, during the brief moment when the two were talking, changes occurred inside the laboratory.

"The extent of the damage is beyond the limit, the internal low-pressure environment has been destroyed, and the air pressure is rising rapidly."

"Okay, let's stop here."

The force field can withstand high-energy lasers, but the makeshift test site cannot.

As the laser disappeared, the force field dissipated almost at the same time. It was obvious that Rei Ayanami had already reached her limit and had little strength left.

Rei Ayanami slumped in the control seat, gasping for breath.

The dramatic change in air pressure caused the walls of the laboratory to crack, and even the laser transmitter was damaged. No one paid attention to this, as this result was destined to happen from the moment the experiment began.

18:00:40

439. Ikari Fumihiko, I am your wall breaker

After the internal air pressure was completely stabilized, they began to pump seawater into the interior to quickly cool it down and transport Unit 0 out.

Ayanami Rei left the cockpit panting.

"Where's my Coke?"

Ikari Fumihiko felt helpless.

"So you removed the force field immediately so that you could have some energy left to drink Coke?"

"Yes. I only drank one bottle of Coke in the past ten days, and I have been waiting for supplies."

Hearing these words, he was even more at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You."

At his instruction, the logistics staff immediately handed over a bottle of Coke.

Ayanami Rei, who was still panting and looked like she could hardly walk the moment before, instantly regained her energy.

"Ah... I'm alive—"

"Okay, drink slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

"A box of supplies this time? All of them are mine?"

"Yes, they are all yours."

"Wen Yan, you won't drink secretly?"

"will not."

"Really?"

"real."

He chatted with Rei Ayanami for a few more words and then handed the person over to the medical team.

After each test, the driver needs to undergo a comprehensive inspection to prevent accidents.

Fumihiko Ikari came to the meeting room.

As soon as he sat down, the military personnel spoke first.

"Just now a scholar said that there is no need to continue this experiment. Minister Ikari, what do you think?"

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised by this situation.

"Indeed, there is no need to continue. With the current level of technology, even if we redesign and reinforce the walls and increase the full-power exposure time, the final test result will only be the driver's physical limit, not the strength limit of the force field. It is not very meaningful. Apostles are not likely to be similar to a ten-year-old child.

The most important thing now is to improve technology and develop the weapons that are planned."

The military man nodded.

"In that case, let's stop here for now."

Afterwards, scholars began to discuss the experimental data. Although the data still cannot support the quantification of force fields, it has further enhanced human understanding of force fields.

Just as the meeting was about to end, a senior official who had always had little presence spoke.

"Minister Ikari, after consultation with the United Nations, I hope you can cooperate to establish corresponding Three Sages Database Centers on each continent for the convenience of scholars from various countries."

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned when he heard this.

Not only him, but everyone else was like this. No one expected that the United Nations would relax its control over the Three Sages System at this time.

"No problem on my end. We need to go back to the research institute and discuss the details with Team Leader Akagi."

Before anyone could ask a question, the senior official spoke.

"Humanity needs the power of the Three Sages."

These words seemed to explain, but also seemed to explain nothing.

Fumihiko Ikari did not dwell on this issue. Whether the United Nations could not withstand the pressure brought by the doomsday crisis or could not ignore the voices of these top scholars, the full implementation of the Three Sages System was a good thing for him. The more people relied on the Three Sages System, the greater his influence would be. Of course, this would also make Naoko Akagi's situation more dangerous.

The meeting had ended here. When he stood up and was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting, a scholar stood up.

"Minister Ikari, I heard you're planning on creating a brain-in-a-vat game?"

He was a little confused by the question.
