Fumihiko Ikari knew that Naoko Akagi was saying that this element might very likely exist in Antarctica, where the First Angel existed.
"The situation in Antarctica right now, even if it existed before, may no longer exist."
Regarding the key element missing from synthesizing the Spear of Longinus Metal, he has always felt that this element was most likely not brought by the Apostles from outer space, but was created from the soil on Earth under the influence of the power emitted by the Spear of Longinus. The reason for this idea is that there are too many EVAs appearing in the original work.
wrong!
It's because too much Longinus metal was used in the original work.
He remembered that in the original book, each EVA had a large number of replaceable body parts, and the amount of Longinus metal used in these parts was astronomical.
If Longinus Metal is really a non-renewable resource, no matter how abundant its reserves are, it cannot withstand the use of Seele in the original book. And even if the reserves are really that abundant, how could Nerv, after taking over the research, search the entire underground space and not find even one gram of this unknown element like they did now?
Naoko Akagi pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"Could it be that you are the only one lacking this Longinus Metal?"
These words sounded a bit strange, and Fumihiko Ikari took a moment to think about them before he realized what was going on.
"Are you saying that Nerv and Seele have reached some kind of cooperation that makes me think that Longinus Metal is scarce?"
"Correct."
He subconsciously wanted to ask a question.
That doesn't make sense, right? Why would Nerv cooperate with Seele?
As the words came to my lips, the answer already appeared in my mind.
Needless to say, Nerv wanted to limit the power in his hands in this way to prevent him from mastering too many EVAs. Just like he was worried that Nerv would abandon him, Nerv must also be worried that he would cause trouble.
Seele prevents the situation from getting out of control and hinders the implementation of the human completion plan.

502. Cognitive Scope
Ikari Fumihiko was silent for a moment and then asked back.
"so what?"
"If possible, let's investigate the specific situation. If this is the case, we will have to temporarily change the direction of our research."
Ikari Fumihiko sighed.
This is still a commonplace topic, which is why people often mention it.
The reason is simple, that is, people's understanding of the apostle form is influenced by the two apostle forms that have been discovered, the first apostle and the second apostle. These two apostles have not shown any special abilities, and basically they can be defeated by just finding a way to break the AT force field defense.
With such an idea, it is natural to doubt the necessity of EVA.
Just like when the third apostle appeared in the original work, the first to engage in battle with the apostle was the army, not EVA. In addition to the struggle for the right to speak, it was more due to people's cognition.
The battle between the army and the third apostle at the beginning of the original novel seemed to be that the army overestimated its own capabilities. However, in fact, from the first official contact between humans and apostles, the army had set up an ambush with high-yield N2 mines in advance, which temporarily incapacitated the third apostle. This shows that the army did not overestimate its own capabilities, but simply misjudged the enemy's strength.
After all, that is an N2 mine with a yield of hundreds of thousands of tons!
Although there is no nuclear contamination, such a large amount of N2 is definitely not in the category of conventional weapons.
In the original novel, Seele monopolized the right to develop technology, and the army only had the N2, a very limited weapon, and people were doubting the necessity of EVA. Now Ikari Fumihiko has changed the situation. He replaced Ikari Gendō and took over the control of the Three Sages System. In addition to setting limits on quantum computers and immortality surgery, he did not affect global technology, and even completely opened the Three Sages System to the outside world.
This action enabled Nerv to develop other weapons that could threaten the apostles, such as the positron cannon that he specifically requested to develop.
To put it simply, the story is more confident than the original, so there are naturally more doubts about EVA.
This is not ignorance, but the ancients are unable to understand the lives of modern people.
The vast majority of the apostles are within the cognitive scope established by people based on the first and second apostles. The existence forms of the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth apostles are completely beyond this cognitive scope.
He could only emphasize it again.
"AT force field is the key to this war."
"I know, and I'm not denying your judgment. I just think that if there is not enough Longinus metal in the future, it will be difficult to complete global deployment with the current number of EVAs."
Uh……
After hearing this, he realized that he had overthought.
At the same time, he also understood Naoko Akagi's concerns. Except for Seele and him, the time traveler, no one else knew what the apostles were going to do. In this case, the first consideration was naturally to build a global defense system. In the current situation, the number of EVAs was limited, so naturally they had to find another way out...
wrong!
Naoko Akagi usually focuses on research and doesn't think about these issues.
"This is what Professor Dongyue talked to you about?"
"Well, we talked about this topic during our previous chat."
Is this a change in the candidate for the Beauty Trap?
possible.
Did I change the plan because I had been asking Naoko Akagi to be wary of Gendō Ikari, which led to less contact between the two?!
If that's the case, this chat shouldn't be that simple.
Do you hope to change the direction of my research and development and pave the way for the human completion plan? Or do you want to use this to test the latest research progress?
He quickly determined that it was probably both.
Currently, Seele does not have actual control over the Three Sages System, which means that although his power can infiltrate the middle and high-level management of NERV, no one knows what he is researching and what results he has achieved. Not to mention Seele, even the current high-level management of NERV can only have a general understanding.
"He is trying to test our research progress and influence our research direction. Well, to put it simply, this guy is not a good person. Don't have any contact with him."
Akagi Naoko nodded.
After a pause, he spoke doubtfully.
"I remember your previous girlfriend was Professor Dongyue's daughter, right!?"
"..."
Not only is she Dongyue Gengzo's daughter, but she also seems to be pregnant with my child.
Uh……
It’s indeed a bit bad to say this.
However, the words had already been said and there was no way to take them back, so he could only suppress his embarrassment and change the subject.
"Why are you gossiping about this?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of this."
You just suddenly thought of this thing, and you just suddenly discovered the highlight.
"Anyway, he and Ikari Gendou are in the same group, so you'd better be careful."
After hesitating for a moment, he still felt a little unsafe, so he added another sentence.
"He has always had a crush on his student Ikari Yui. It's the kind of crush where you know it's impossible but still silently give your all. It's because of this that he got so close to Ikari Gendou."
Naoko Akagi was obviously stunned, and it was obvious that this revelation refreshed her weak worldview.
"????"
Uh……
It doesn't seem very nice to say bad things about others behind their backs.
Just as Fumihiko Ikari was thinking about how to change the subject, the previously submitted application for Longinus Metal was reviewed.
He opened it and took a look, and was immediately stunned.
[Rejected, please clearly state the intended use and research and development prospects. 】
This was the first time he encountered such a thing. No! It was the first time he encountered such a thing except for the leave application.
I was a little stunned for a moment.
Then a thought flashed through my mind.
Nerv wants to kick me out? Or has it noticed my blockade of quantum computers and immortality surgery?
“The application was rejected.”
Naoko Akagi was also surprised. She came over to take a look and quickly discovered the problem.
"There's something wrong with your application. It's too simple."
[I need a batch of Longinus metal to make a Type 02 prototype. ]
This is all the content on Fumihiko Ikari’s application.
Naoko Akagi didn't say anything and returned to her seat, apparently helping Fumihiko Ikari rewrite the application.
Ikari Fumihiko spoke back.
“It shouldn’t be that simple.”
Naoko Akagi replied while typing on the keyboard.
"First, change the content of the application according to the requirements and see how it goes."
Just then the office phone rang.
"Who?"
"Minister, it's me, Jenny."
My white assistant called me at this time to avoid misunderstanding? ?
Am I really overthinking this time?
"explain."
"Let me explain to you. The amount of Longinus Metal is limited and has been invested in another project. They will decide how to use this batch of Longinus Metal based on the specific situation."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, he felt himself becoming more and more suspicious.
In the past, he wouldn't have thought much about it, but now his first reaction was suspicion. Could this be to stabilize me? ?
There is no way to be in the storm. There are too many people plotting against him, so he has to think more when encountering things.
18:20:43
503. This breakfast took hours.
Can't interactions between people be simpler?
Uh……
It’s better to be a little more complicated.
It's too simple. Fumihiko Ikari is worried that someone wants to kill him, so he won't be so cautious. If someone really comes to kill him, he thinks it's better to be a little tired than to be killed himself. At least he's still alive.
"Will the EVA equipped with the Three Sages System be defined as a second-generation machine? Or is it a spirit particle interference experiment?"
After hearing what Akagi Naoko said, Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment.
"Let's think about creating artificial gods."
Although he had never written a serious application, he had read many applications and knew that in this situation, the concept had to be exaggerated in order to easily obtain funding.
"Storing the body of an artificial god?"
Akagi Naoko's question was a bit vague, and he only understood half of it. He understood that Akagi Naoko defined the artificial god as a virtual existence. To put it simply, it was a god that only existed in the cyber world. As for the specific situation, it was beyond his imagination.
"I don't quite understand. Do you think artificial gods are phantoms that exist in the cyber world?"
Naoko Akagi shook her head.
"I've read some scholars' conjectures about dreams. They believe that dreams are essentially a subspace. I think that makes sense. According to their conjecture, the artificial gods created by virtual technology should be a subspace creature that can only establish a connection with the world through the Three Sages System."
Ikari Fumihiko was speechless.
"No matter how you look at it, this is just a guess made by amateur scientists."
"Civilian scientist?"
"They are just amateur scientists. You can just read what they write and don't take it seriously. Their research only follows their own understanding of things, not the scientific system."
