I participated in the development of EVA

20:02:18

587. It's the Chinese New Year, and I have a lot to do, so the update time is a bit messy, embarrassing

"Almost, time to make a wish and blow out the candles."

"Uh……"

Asuka was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and asked back in confusion.

"How do you blow out the candles on such a big cake?"

"Just make a wish and leave the rest to me."

After saying this, Fumihiko Ikari sent a message to the studio owner.

The scene was immediately filled with the singing of Happy Birthday. At first the singing was uneven, but as time went on the singing became more uniform.

Although she didn't see the candles, Asuka still closed her eyes and made a wish.

Mother……

I am now an EVA pilot. Well, I will take good care of myself, study hard, and become better and better...

Mother……

I miss you……

After reciting the words she wanted to say to her mother, she opened her eyes.

"I wish..."

The words on my lips got stuck in my throat.

Because the candle in front of you is a burning fuse.

And a cannon.

She glanced at Ikari Fumihiko.

???

You are such a genius...

The fuse burned out and the cannon let out a deafening roar.

The entire cake castle was blown to pieces and splattered everywhere.

Rei Ayanami had a blank expression on her face, and Asuka was still a little confused by Ikari Fumihiko's action.

The rest of the people at the scene were speechless.

Are you sure this is something that should be shown on a child's seventh birthday? That's too much! Aren't you afraid of scaring the child?

Ikari Fumihiko picked up a piece of cake and winked at the studio owner.

As he smeared the cake on Asuka's face...

A deliberately created cake war began.

This cake war lasted for a long time before it ended. Everyone at the scene was covered in cake debris, especially Asuka, who was almost turning into a cake man.

At the same time, the birthday party was coming to an end.

Ikari Fumihiko summoned his flying mount and carried the two of them into the air.

"Look down..."

Asuka and Ayanami Rei looked down.

They were surprised to find that the huge garden was actually a portrait. Ayanami Rei didn't feel anything, but Asuka just stood there in a daze.

Because the person in the portrait is none other than her and her mother, Soryu Kyoko Zeppelin.

"How's it going? Has Professor Kyoko's beauty been restored to one percent?"

Asuka didn't say anything, still staring blankly at the huge portrait made up of magical plants, which made Ikari Fumihiko's deliberate flattery go to waste.

The flying mount was hovering in the sky for a long time before Asuka withdrew her gaze from the portrait.

"That's it..."

Only then did Fumihiko Ikari control the flying mount to land on the ground.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the players who came to join in the fun had mostly dispersed, leaving only the studio and the three of them at the scene.

After a brief chat, everyone separated.

Fumihiko Ikari then took Asuka and Rei Ayanami to browse the wonders and beautiful scenery in the game.

They didn't separate until it was time for Ikari Fumihiko and Ayanami Rei to go to lunch and for Asuka to go to bed.

After lunch, Fumihiko Ikari and Rei Ayanami also separated.

As soon as I arrived at the project team, I received shocking news.

"There has been new progress in the Materials Department."

"What progress?"

"By developing a material that could theoretically be used to make space elevator cables."

???

Can a space elevator be built?

"what material?"

Naoko Akagi did not continue to explain anything, but just pulled out the detailed documents.

Ikari Fumihiko took a look.

This new material developed by the Materials Department is a special active nanomaterial developed by analyzing EVA bones.

He was a little surprised by this, but he also felt that it was reasonable. With Eva's exaggerated body that seemed like a giant from a myth, if the hardness of her bones was a little weaker, they would be crushed into meat paste by the earth's gravity, let alone being able to run and jump like humans like now.

He continued to look through the content, but he didn't expect that his name appeared in the list of R&D personnel.

He was a little confused.

"Why is my name in here?"

Naoko Akagi knew more, so she explained it on the side.

"Do you remember when we were chatting, you mentioned using the EVA cervical vertebrae to build a space elevator?"

"Uh... I have some impression."

Fumihiko Ikari remembered that he had indeed said these things, but he just said them casually at the time and did not take them seriously at all. If Naoko Akagi had not reminded him now, he would have even forgotten about such a thing.

Akagi Naoko started explaining again.

"At the time, I also thought that the strength of EVA bones could indeed be used to make space elevators, so I told this idea to the Materials Department and formed a team to conduct in-depth research on EVA bones. Just this morning, they finally came up with the results, which is this unnamed active nanomaterial."

Although he got the answer, Fumihiko Ikari was still a little confused.

"Wait a minute! Even if that's the case... isn't it a bit far-fetched that my name is the first author?"

"Your name was used when this team was formed."

"..."

This is really the case of wealth coming to you while you stay at home.

Fumihiko Ikari hesitated for a moment and then didn't say anything more. After all, the matter was done and the paper had already been published within NERV. It was too late to say anything.

"Forget it... With this active nanomaterial, when can we expect the space elevator to be built?"

As for whether active nanomaterials can be put into use directly and how to solve mass production, these were critical issues in the past, but he didn't care.

The reason is simple.

Humanity holds the Three Sages System in its hands.

The Three Sages do not have the ability to innovate and research on their own, but once they have the basic information, they can deduce the basics to a new level in a short period of time, so there is naturally no need to discuss those things.

"There is one key issue that has not yet been finalized."

"Which part?"

"Site selection."

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

Once the space elevator is successfully built, the hidden benefits will be beyond the reach of virtual games.

Not to mention……

The space elevator also represents another symbol.

Escape to outer space to avoid the Apostle crisis.

The satellites and space stations that survived the second impact have proved one thing to mankind, that is, the catastrophe caused by the apostles cannot affect outer space.

“It’s a really hard problem to solve.”

Naoko Akagi nodded. She was not surprised that the Nervs fought for this spot.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari no longer had the initial excitement he had.

It is not clear now whether the construction of the space elevator is a good thing or a bad thing.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"What is the parliament going to do?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head.

“I have not received any information related to this.”

20:02:31

588. I haven't had time to clean up my game energy these past two days. It's almost the New Year and there are so many things to do.

Ikari Fumihiko was thinking about this.

The cell phone rang.

[Go to the conference hall. A global conference will be held soon and you will be needed to attend. ]

This is a message from the nerv council.

He got up and went to the meeting room.

Afterwards, he was pulled into a group video, which only had representatives from three major countries. It was obvious that this was a small meeting before the conference.

This time, among the three countries' representatives, Russia spoke on behalf of the three parties.

"You have already heard about the breakthrough in materials for space elevators, right?"

"Ah."

"The conference will revolve around this issue."

"Is it mainly about the location?"

The Three Sages System is capable of mass-producing active nanomaterials in a short period of time, but it takes a process to create something from scratch. Building a factory takes time, and expanding production capacity also takes time, not to mention that the raw material of this nanomaterial is the bones of EVA, and cultivating EVA also takes time, not to mention that the new technology still needs to be demonstrated.

Simply put, it is impossible to mass-produce space elevators at this stage, and we must first build an experimental elevator.

The representative from Goose Country was not surprised that Ikari Fumihiko could guess this, and he responded straightforwardly.

"Yes."

"How are you going to solve this problem?"

"The best choice."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't quite understand.

"??"

"It's about choosing an optimal location to build a space elevator."

This answer surprised Ikari Fumihiko.

In his opinion, even if NERV didn't fight over this issue, they would definitely fight openly or secretly. He just didn't expect that the NERV parliament would be so calm.
