I participated in the development of EVA

"I don't know."

"Then you should call the minister immediately to find out the situation. If we continue to let it go like this, the situation that was stabilized with great difficulty will be in chaos again."

Dr. Ito knew that the other party was not exaggerating.

Fumihiko Ikari's research laid the foundation for the technology of the Apostles. He completed the E-Project and created the artificial Apostle EVA, as well as the epoch-making supercomputer Three Sages System. It can be said that no one can compare with Fumihiko Ikari in this field today, and even fewer scholars can keep up with Fumihiko Ikari's pace...

Therefore, those who knew the inside story basically placed their hopes of humanity defeating the apostles on Fumihiko Ikari.

In other words, it can also be understood as.

If Fumihiko Ikari thinks that humanity is hopeless, then it basically means that humanity is truly hopeless.

"Okay, I'll call the minister to confirm the situation later."

"Don't wait any longer, hit me now."

Dr. Ito took out his cell phone helplessly, but worried about disturbing Fumihiko Ikari's research, he just sent a message.

[Minister, are you okay over there? ]

Fumihiko Ikari was a little confused. He had no idea what trouble he had caused. He didn't quite understand what Dr. Ito wanted him to do.

【What's wrong? 】

[It is now rumored that you think humanity is about to perish.]

? ? ? ?

Is Fumihiko Ikari completely confused now?

what I do?

Wait! No—

The problem may not be with me.

Although he couldn't figure it out, he guessed where the problem lay.

Needless to say, this must be another big drama made up by these people outside, who are accusing themselves of defeatism.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously responded with a triple negative.

[I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! ]

[But now people are saying this outside, how about... you come out and explain it? ]

Fumihiko Ikari has a headache.

Explain? How to explain! I still don't know what you guys have come up with.

wrong--

It shouldn't be me who should explain anything, it should be you guys who are making up stories want me to admit something this time! ?

[Wait a minute, I don't quite understand... What do you want me to explain? ]

【You will understand if you take a look at the internal forum. 】

【it is good. 】

575. Don’t leave! Let’s analyze it again

Fumihiko Ikari opened the forum in confusion.

It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, but once you watch it, you'll be so angry that you'll laugh...

No - I just voted in favor!? Is it necessary to interpret it to this extent?!

But soon, he came back to his senses.

These people's excessive interpretation is ultimately due to their own excessive influence.

Can I use this to solve some problems?

As soon as this idea came to my mind, I gave it up.

The combined influence of these scholars can indeed affect the NERV decision-making level, but it is common for politicians to say one thing and do another.

Even if the incident ferments and affects the decision-makers, causing them to give up cooperation with Seele and define Seele as a terrorist organization that everyone hates, it will still not have any impact on the plot. It will only make Nerv arrange the cooperation with Seele more secretively, or stage a drama in which Seele is eliminated and let Seele change its name.

He considered it for a moment before replying to Dr. Ito again.

[Today, I accidentally talked about these two plans and paid attention to them. There is no special meaning. The current public opinion on the Internet is a bit over-interpreted. ]

Dr. Ito seemed still worried and asked tentatively.

[Can humans really defeat the apostles? ]

[Of course.]

With the current strength on display, there is little chance of winning against the apostles.

Now the only truly effective combat force is Unit 0, and Unit 2 can only be regarded as a supplement. No matter what, Asuka is only six years old now, and can only barely drive Unit 2. The actual combat power she can provide is basically negligible. The same is true for Ikari Shinji. If these two want to exert their combat power, they have to wait until they are at least ten years old.

Of course, this does not take into account the backup forces that exist in Nerv.

However, if the current pace continues, when the apostles appear in the same timeline as in the original novel, the only enemy that can strengthen humanity is the 18th apostle, Lilin, that is, humanity itself. The rest of the apostles are basically all materials to enrich human scientific research capabilities. It is not an exaggeration to say that they will be destroyed as soon as they appear.

This is not arrogance, but a statement of fact.

If Adam were reborn, he would be pinned to the ground.

[I understand. In that case, I won’t bother you anymore.]

【Um. 】

After finishing the conversation with Dr. Ito, Fumihiko Ikari posted another pinned message in the forum.

[Are you all done? Don’t read too much into it. I just thought of these two projects while chatting with others and paid attention to them.]

After posting the message, the forum was closed.

Then he gently touched his temple and said to Akagi Naoko as if he had a headache.

"These people really don't have anything to do every day. They make such a big fuss over trivial matters."

Naoko Akagi nodded in agreement on the surface, but she did not agree with this point of view in her heart.

Until now, she still thinks that Fumihiko Ikari has made the judgment that humanity will perish.

At the same time, we also understand why Fumihiko Ikari was unwilling to try to fly the Type 02 prototype himself. The reason was not complicated. He was probably worried that his ability was insufficient and he could not achieve the expected results. Simply put, as long as Fumihiko Ikari knew that his mind was strong, the reason he did not try was that he wanted to leave this glimmer of hope to the last. It can also be said that Fumihiko Ikari defined himself as the last hope.

"I'm going to take a break."

Hearing what Akagi Naoko said, Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment.

tired……

Want to take a break?

He couldn't believe that he would hear such words from Akagi Naoko.

But he soon came to his senses.

"Oh, okay... I'll watch over here."

Naoko Akagi nodded, stood up and did not go to the lounge, but walked towards the door of the project team.

This is the first time that Naoko Akagi has stepped out of the project team since the Artificial God Project began.

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned again.

The same was true for Zhao Shuo standing by. In his impression, Akagi Naoko was reluctant to leave the control room even for meals on weekdays.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but think about it.

What does Akagi Naoko want to do! ?

However, Naoko Akagi's action came too suddenly, without any signs, and he had no idea what to do for a moment.

Not long after, he received another explosive news.

[My mother invited me to go shopping! ! ! ! What happened over there? ? ? ? ]

There are so many punctuation marks, which shows how shocked Ritsuko Akagi is at this moment.

Fumihiko Ikari is not much better.

【shop????????】

[Yes, my mother just sent me a message saying that she wants to go shopping for clothes and get a haircut, and asked if I want to go with her! ! ! ! ]

How did you answer?

After sending the message, Fumihiko Ikari realized that he had asked a very stupid question.

How could Ritsuko Akagi miss this opportunity to spend time with her mother?

[Of course I asked for leave as soon as possible! ]

After a pause, Ritsuko Akagi edited another message.

【What went wrong on your end? 】

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it carefully and it seemed that nothing had happened, but Naoko Akagi's abnormality made him unconfident.

[Seems like everything is alright?! ]

[Nothing? Are you sure? Nothing, my mother would unusually put down her research and invite me to go shopping? Never mind, my mother is coming soon, I have to go get ready.]

[Don't leave! Let's analyze it again! ]

however……

This time it was Ritsuko Akagi who disappeared in the middle of the conversation.

Ikari Fumihiko looked at Zhao Shuo with a confused look on his face.

"Did our project team encounter any problems just now?"

Zhao Shuo was even more confused.

You ask me, who should I ask?

"It seems not. Apart from the fact that the synchronization rate of all the personnel undergoing adaptation is not ideal, there seems to be no other additional factors."

There was no confidence at all when he said this.

After all, today it was Fumihiko Ikari who was acting abnormal, and now it is Naoko Akagi who is acting abnormal.

There was no change that he was not aware of, and no one would believe it if he said it out loud.

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari spoke out his own opinion, "--I understand! Professor Akagi must be going out this time to replicate the way I took Rei Ayanami out to relax. By adjusting his mood, he can improve his synchronization rate with the Type 02 prototype, so as to break through his own limit."

Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

This is not an endorsement.

Instead, he felt that this explanation was very reasonable and was very suitable for Naoko Akagi now.

Can……

Why were you acting abnormal just now?

"This should be."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but praise him.

"As expected of Professor Akagi, she has already found a solution before I even have any idea."

576. Really Living

Fumihiko Ikari was very curious about what Akagi mother and daughter would do.

His eyes fell on the operating console of the Three Sages System.
