I participated in the development of EVA

Page 332

Flames surged into the sky and there was a horrific explosion. The shock wave alone caused a large number of outer buildings in the Third New Tokyo City 13 kilometers away to collapse.

"How's the target???"

"Electromagnetic interference, unable to capture the signal."

The situation of the conceptual entity cannot be seen in the game for the time being, but Fumihiko Ikari outside the game can see it clearly.

The concept of a water angel was proposed by a scholar, so it was designed more rigorously, raising its intelligence and self-recovery ability while reducing the strength of its AT field.

To put it simply, it is to deliberately add weak points to the conceptual entity.

Therefore, the conceptual body of this type of water angel had not yet been put into use before it was almost evaporated by the 50-ton equivalent N2 missile that it received.

"again……"

Just as Fumihiko Ikari was about to reopen it, he was surprised to find that the life signal of the water angel-like construct was rapidly increasing.

"At the moment of the explosion, this construct mobilized all its strength to protect its core. It will be fully recovered in three hours."

It took more than ten minutes for the people in the game to notice this situation.

"Shoot another one!"

This time the commander-in-chief did not hesitate, however...

The water angel-like concept can still think even when its brain is melted, and it is set to have extremely high intelligence. It did not understand the specific situation of the missile when it received it previously. Now, after suffering a loss, it changed its strategy and intercepted the second missile from a distance by ejecting matter through the AT force field.

Although it was an explosion at high altitude, such a large equivalent still demonstrated terrifying power.

Fortunately, the explosion did not happen over the city, otherwise all the buildings on the ground in the Third New Tokyo City would be vaporized, and the buildings and shelters underground would not be in much better condition.

The aftermath of the explosion was undoubtedly a catastrophe for humans, but it had little effect on the water angel-like construct.

A single missile attack no longer poses a threat. The commander-in-chief does not dare to issue an order to launch a large-scale deployment of 2-ton equivalent N missiles. If he does so, even if the enemy is destroyed, the Third New Tokyo City will also be destroyed. Doing so will easily trigger a huge disaster that will affect the entire world.

Therefore, the on-site commander dispatched Unit 0.

And at this moment, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but speak again.

"As long as the core is not damaged, it can be fully restored..."

Fumihiko Ikari thought Ritsuko Akagi was going to say that this ability was too buggy, and was thinking about how to respond, but Ritsuko Akagi changed the subject.

"Isn't the energy stored in this construct a bit too much?"

Large storage energy?

The real apostles possess the S2 mechanism like a perpetual motion machine, and the conceptual body itself only has a huge energy reserve, which is actually an epic weakening.

Of course, as long as it does not turn into a protracted war, there is actually no essential difference between the two, and both have inexhaustible energy.

Of course, Fumihiko Ikari certainly couldn't say it so bluntly.

"This concerns the fate of all mankind. Even if it is set up as a perpetual motion machine, it would not be excessive."

Ritsuko Akagi said nothing more.

And in the game.

The on-site commander was a cautious man. He did not let Unit 00 rush over directly to finish off the severely damaged Water Angel construct. Instead, he took out a positron cannon, apparently intending to destroy the enemy through long-range attacks.

Seeing this scene, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help herself.

“Isn’t that a bit too cautious?”

Ikari Fumihiko also felt that this was a bit too cautious, but he immediately understood the on-site commander's thinking.

"At this stage, humans only have two EVAs capable of combat, and the pilots are still children, so naturally we have to reduce the risk of combat as much as possible."

"But the positron cannon is still under development, so it's not certain whether it can be completed. Isn't it a bit unfair to use this? Well, the same goes for the positron rifle and the high-vibration dagger."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't really think too much about it and just equipped EVA with the same weapons according to the original configuration.

"It's only a matter of time before these things are developed."

"But what if the enemy shows up before the development is successful?"

Ikari Fumihiko was helpless. Why are you suddenly so serious about this? "Well, before the weapons are developed, let EVA use the weapons made of Longinus metal to fight. Is that okay?"

18:15:48

488. Suddenly I remembered my fgo account. What is the human rights card now?

Ritsuko Akagi did not respond, but instead asked another question.

"If these two types of weapons are successfully developed, apart from the high-vibration dagger, there is not much point in equipping the EVA with the positron cannon, right? If the positron weapon is needed to provide long-range attacks and firepower strikes, it can be made into a turret, or it would be more profitable to develop a combat equipment specifically for the positron weapon, right?"

Her words can be summed up in one sentence.

There is no need to let EVA control these weapons!

This is not the first time that Fumihiko Ikari has faced this problem, and it will not be the last.

In fact, it is not only Akagi Ritsuko and a few people who have this doubt, but most people have the same doubt. If the positron weapon can destroy the apostles, wouldn’t the result of EVA control be the same! ? ?

However, few people actually ask this question.

The reason why I don't ask is that whoever controls the Three Sages System, a supercomputer, is equivalent to monopolizing the right to future technological development.

Simply put, it is the direction set by Fumihiko Ikari, and others have no choice but to obey if they don't want to be kicked out.

In addition, Fumihiko Ikari's in-depth research on the apostles made people believe in the main theme of at force field against at force field set by Fumihiko Ikari.

After a moment's silence, Fumihiko Ikari asked Ritsuko a question.

"Do you think that the spiritual field we understand now is already the full picture of the AT force field?"

Ritsuko Akagi shook her head.

"Certainly not."

"The spirit particle field is too mysterious. Humans will definitely not be able to explore it in a short period of time. In this case, we can only rely on the power of EVA to deal with the enemy. The weapons and equipment we are developing now are not to increase the upper limit of EVA, but to ensure the lower limit of EVA and make the combat options more diverse. Without these weapons and equipment, every battle of EVA is equivalent to risking life."

Although Fumihiko Ikari controls the Three Sages System, he does not control the speed of technological development like Seele in the original work.

"Also, I found that you, like the people around you, have always been wrong about one thing. No! It should be said that you have subconsciously formed a wrong perception. I never said that these weapons and equipment under development can only be equipped for EVAs. For example, the positron rifle can be developed into a drone. In the future, it can be used to test the enemy's strength, and it can also provide fire support for EVAs."

"Uh……"

Ritsuko Akagi was stunned.

Indeed, Ikari Fumihiko never said that these weapons and equipment can only be used by EVA, he just said that EVA needs these weapons and equipment.

After this incident, something unexpected happened in the game.

The water angel-like construct seemed to have detected the high-energy reaction of the positron cannon, and a large amount of matter was thrown towards the location of Unit 00.

The projectiles did not attack Unit 0 directly, but were directed towards the surrounding power transmission devices.

The commander-in-chief cursed inwardly.

"hateful!"

If the positron cannon loses power supply, it will be scrapped, and he can only let Unit 00 engage in close combat with the enemy.

however……

Another unexpected thing happened, the water angel concept became stronger again.

Ikari Fumihiko's eyes widened.

"Is this... a positron cannon?"

After pulling up the data and taking a look at it, Ritsuko Akagi nodded.

"Yes, it learned how to use energy through observation and simulated the positron cannon through the AT force field."

“Can this also be learned through observation???”

Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused.

The scene in front of them looked too terrifying, but they soon discovered that the situation on the scene only looked a little terrifying, and in fact it did not pose much of a threat to Unit 00.

The positron cannon charges too slowly, and during the charging period it will also cause a reduction in the at force field defense.

If rapid-fire mode is used, the power will be weak. According to calculation results, it is similar to the positron rifle used by Unit 0, and this will also lead to a decrease in the defense capability of its own force field. In fact, these problems are mainly because the designer designed the force field of the Water Angel-like concept body too weak in order to make his design more rigorous.

The water angel-like construct possessed extremely high intelligence and noticed the disadvantages, but now that it had lost its ability to move, it had no choice but to buy itself time to recover through rapid firing.

"Avoid close combat as much as possible, and prioritize long-range attacks."

"Yes."

After getting closer, Rei Ayanami used the positron rifle to fire at the construct.

Although the water angel-like construct chose to defend with all its might, its AT force field was too weak to block the firepower of the positron rifle, and its core was destroyed after just one round of shooting.

"Target eliminated."

"Notify the search department to confirm the situation, Unit 0 is on long-range alert."

Destroying the construct is just part of the exercise.

The subsequent cleaning of the battlefield, comforting the masses, post-disaster rescue...these are all part of the exercise.

Outside the game, Fumihiko Ikari shook his head.

"There are no other problems, but the strength of the force field is designed too conservatively. I will notify the subsequent personnel to be less conservative in the design."

"Ah."

After giving the notice, Ritsuko Akagi asked a question.

"Want to strengthen it?"

"Well, adjust it to be about the same as Unit-00, and let them have another round."

"it is good."

Although the strength of the conceptual bodies generated later increased, the imagination was bound by the inertial thinking. These people knew that the first and second angels and EVA were all human-shaped, so they thought that the angels that would appear in the future would most likely be human-shaped. Ikari Fumihiko couldn't stand it anymore, so he designed a triangular conceptual body based on the fifth angel, the Thunder Angel, which made the forms of the subsequently generated angels more diverse.

"What are you doing?"

When I woke up and arrived at the project team, as soon as I walked into the main control room, I saw Ritsuko Akagi chatting using the Three Wise Men.

"Replying to Misato's email."

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Connected to the Internet?"

"Ah."

During this period of time, he was only thinking about when he could enter the game and have fun, and had long forgotten about connecting the Three Sages System to the Internet.

He asked curiously.

"Miri, how are things going with that Kaji?"

"Together."

Although the plot between the two people changed, it eventually returned to the starting point.

"Oh."

He responded calmly and did not ask any further questions. For him now, Ryosuke Kaji's move had lost its value before it was even used.

Thinking about it now, he finds it a little unbelievable.

It seemed that he had done something, but it also seemed that he had done nothing, and he was out of Seele's control in a daze.

Uh……

Actually, it’s not that confusing.

18:16:03

489. I feel hopeless. The later it gets, the more energetic I feel.
