I participated in the development of EVA

However, this team from the weapons research and development department was researching a somewhat dangerous project, just like a blasting experiment. Within half an hour of entering the simulation cabin, all twenty-three members of the team blew themselves to death.

Fortunately, before entering the dream, the team told Fumihiko Ikari something.

"Well, what we're studying this time is a little unstable. There's a possibility of a big explosion."

He deliberately asked Ritsuko Akagi to adjust the team's pain feedback to the lowest level, otherwise, at least half of the twenty-three people would suffer mental trauma.

The head of the weapons department's research and development team stood up from the simulation cabin and gave Fumihiko Ikari a dry laugh.

"Uh, my hands are shaking..."

The corner of Ikari Fumihiko's mouth twitched.

No wonder this team rushed here as soon as possible. In reality they would definitely not dare to conduct this experiment.

"Minister, can I take a look at the data just now?"

"can."

The person in charge looked at the data, discussed with the team for a while, and then enthusiastically went into the simulation cabin again.

Then...

This time, within ten minutes, he was kicked out of the dream again due to death in the explosion.

"Well, Minister, can you save some time and let us be resurrected directly in our dreams after death?"

Fumihiko Ikari did not speak. He just looked at the screen where one-fifth of the Third New Tokyo City disappeared due to the huge explosion. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably again. If this experiment were to be carried out in reality, except for the second apostle Lilith, everything else in the underground laboratory would be destroyed by the other party's research, and they who stayed on the ground might not be able to survive.

"Ritsuko, do as they say. Um, keep their lab away."

"it is good."

18:15:23

486. I spent a whole day sweeping snow. Sorry for the late update.

The laboratory has been moved to a distant place, however, the huge explosion that occurred again still attracted everyone's attention.

The terrorist explosion caused the earth to shake, forcing the exercise to be terminated.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help it.

"What are they studying?"

Ritsuko Akagi was not curious about how Fumihiko Ikari, who had clearly signed the application, still didn't know what the other party was going to research.

Because she knew very well that Fumihiko Ikari was like that.

To outsiders, it seemed that Ikari Fumihiko was confident that no one would dare to cheat him, so he only glanced at all the documents that passed through his hands without looking at them in detail. However, she knew that Ikari Fumihiko was simply lazy.

"Their experiments were related to metallic hydrogen explosives."

"Change the recipe?"

"Yes and no, it's up to you to decide."

Ritsuko Akagi took out the application documents she had just submitted.

Ikari Fumihiko took a closer look and realized what the other party was doing. In addition to improving the formula, they were also researching the weaponization of metallic hydrogen.

Simply put, it is to make a metal hydrogen cannon.

Of course, it is not about using metallic hydrogen to launch shells, but about releasing the explosive energy in one direction to increase the effective damage to the AT force field. In simple terms, it is an energy cannon.

"Are these guys' brains okay? To threaten the AT force field, at least hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT are needed. The energy generated by the explosion..."

Fumihiko Ikari is not optimistic about this project.

At this time, a big explosion occurred again.

"Forget it, just throw them away."

The research on metallic hydrogen is actually not that dangerous. It’s just that these researchers know that in dreams, even experimental failure will not cause any losses. In dreams, they can get whatever they want, and even their lives can be restored with just one click. Naturally, they are more unscrupulous in their research. If they were in reality, they would definitely not dare to do such a thing.

however……

The computing power of one of the Three Sages was limited, and it only generated the area near the third New Tokyo City.

Every time there is a big explosion, there are still aftershocks that affect this side.

The corners of Ikari Fumihiko's mouth twitched.

"Tell them to be quiet!"

"it is good."

With his warning, the research team calmed down a bit and reduced the equivalent used in each experiment from 500,000 tons to a few dozen grams.

"At this stage, the team is just trying to improve metal hydrogen explosives, so there is not much difference between hundreds of thousands of tons and tens of grams. It's just that the former is more exciting to study."

He knew that Ritsuko Akagi suddenly said this just to stimulate him.

Envy?

Well, he was really envious.

If he had such an opportunity, he would definitely do the same, or even go a step further. He would make a 100 million ton equivalent of metal hydrogen explosives to hear the explosion, and then use the shock wave of a 100 million ton equivalent nuclear bomb to blow his hair. Anyway, he would do whatever was stimulating and enjoyable. However...he could only stand outside and watch.

"You want me to give you that philosophy question?"

He retorted in impotent fury, which immediately made Ritsuko Akagi laugh.

"hehe."

He closed his mouth helplessly.

Threats are useless. He can't really do that.

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi gave a reminder.

"Are the games developed later designed according to what you said before?"

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"You mean, we should concentrate all human wisdom to study the apostle form?"

Seeing him like this, Ritsuko Akagi knew that he had put all his attention on playing games and had forgotten his original idea.

"you forgot?"

Ikari Fumihiko gave a dry laugh.

"Of course not, uh...why are you asking?"

"You are a hands-off manager. I need to make good work assignments. When will this project start?"

"After the battle simulation system is completed."

"Do you think there is anything else that needs to be modified in the current battle simulation system? What is lacking now is only the apostle data and the program to find the mental variables that cause the deviation of the AT force field strength. The former requires the game to provide parameters, and the latter is too large a project and requires a lot of relevant manpower to intervene. It is not something that can be achieved in a short time."

Although the development cycle of the combat simulation system is not long, there are not many things that need to be changed.

Strictly speaking, only the AT force field parameters need to be adjusted according to Rei Ayanami's feeling. Now that this part has been completed, it can be said that the battle simulation system has basically been completed.

"So... let's start now?"

"Okay, ask mother to transfer some people over to expand the capacity of the Three Sages here."

"it is good."

Under the command of Ritsuko Akagi, Fumihiko Ikari took action.

There was a problem after the expansion.

The three sages can only run one dream program and cannot open two at the same time. Of course, this is not a problem. The apostle simulation is still within the scope of the simulation battle system and does not require major changes. Various parameters must be consistent with reality. The only thing that needs to be changed is to add an apostle generation module, so that both can use the same dream program.

"Isn't it a bad idea to share a dream program?"

"Don't think too much about it during the testing phase. Wait until it's officially open to the public."

"it is good."

After Akagi Ritsuko responded, she frowned and asked.

“Is it really okay for the generator to be designed like this?”

The so-called apostle generator is very simple and easy to operate, just like AI painting. After entering the conditions, the three sages will generate apostles based on the conditions.

Fumihiko Ikari naturally knew that Akagi Ritsuko felt that this was not rigorous enough, so he explained, "That's it. What we want is to pool the wisdom of all parties. Adding too many conditions will only limit the imagination of the players. What we need is not logic and professionalism, but imagination that breaks free of shackles to unlock the mystery of the apostles."

This explanation was not only given to Ritsuko Akagi, but also to others as well.

Ritsuko Akagi nodded.

He lowered his head and began to edit the program, writing the apostle generation program according to Fumihiko Ikari's requirements.

Fumihiko Ikari took this opportunity to report the matter of the Apostle Generator.

His idea attracted great attention from the top management, who held an emergency meeting and deployed a large number of manpower to improve the virtual game called "Monster Invasion".

The content of this meeting is simple.

That is to issue a notice that all NERV members who know the existence of apostles must generate apostles according to their own ideas after the game is completed.

Now that we have someone who can set the questions, naturally we need someone who can be responsible for solving them.

The Tactical Operations Department is responsible for solving the problem. Previously, this department was mainly responsible for on-site command, so its presence has not been strong. Now it has been highly valued and has been upgraded from a affiliated department to an independent department, which is specifically responsible for formulating corresponding combat plans based on the apostles generated in the game.

When hearing this news at the conference, Fumihiko Ikari felt that the Tactical Operations Department was similar in nature to the Game Strategy Group.

18:15:35

487. This is already an epic nerf

Does the form of the apostles exceed the scope of human imagination?

the answer is negative.

Because the EVA world was conceived by humans, Fumihiko Ikari thought that even if he did not take action, the information about the apostles could be deduced by gathering the imagination of all mankind.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

When the game Monster Invasion was uploaded to the Lepton Network, a phantom body similar to an apostle was generated in the game on the third day.

And it is also the first enemy that mankind will face in the future.

The third angel: Water Angel.

To this, Fumihiko Ikari's first reaction was that there was a traitor in Seele, but he immediately denied this idea.

It is actually normal that the Water Angel was conceived so quickly.

People's current understanding of the apostles is that they are all the first apostle of the giant of light who appeared in Antarctica during the Third Impact, and the third apostle who was sealed in the final dogma. These two observed apostles both have human form, and EVA is also human. When generating apostles, NERV members naturally tend to move towards human form.

And learning ability and self-recovery are also the things that come to mind most easily.

Of course, the imagined third angel, the Water Angel, only has the same abilities and human form as the real Water Angel, but their specific appearances are very different.

The conceptualized Water Angel looks more like an EVA with super intelligence and extremely strong self-healing ability.

"Target found."

The on-site commander in the game expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Technical Department! You found out too late!"

The conceptual body is already close to the Third New Tokyo City. It is now impossible to deploy high-yield N2 mines to block it, and it is even more impossible to launch high-yield missile attacks, because this will affect the Third New Tokyo City. Of course, at this distance, if all the city residents hide in the shelter, they can try to block it with high-yield N2 missiles.

However, evacuation takes time.

"Idiot! Now is not the time to complain about this. Issue an evacuation notice immediately."

After the NPCs completed the evacuation at an ideal speed, the commander-in-chief hesitated when looking at the distance between the conceptual body and the city.

Using a high-yield N2 missile to intercept the enemy at this distance would cause too much damage to the city. Moreover, not every shelter in the city can withstand such an explosion. Launching missiles would undoubtedly be a massacre.

After a moment's hesitation, he still gave the order to launch.

"50-ton equivalent missile! Launch—"

In this war that concerns the survival of mankind, mankind has no choice.

Just like in the original work, the conceptual body caught the missile carrying 50 tons of N2 explosives with one hand.
