I participated in the development of EVA

As if seeing his surprise, the representative from Goose Country explained.

"The Apostle Crisis will break out soon, so even if there is a space elevator, it won't make much sense. We don't have the technology to allow humans to survive in outer space for a long time yet. And if we can't get rid of the apostles... the space elevator is 90,000 miles high, and it can't be said to be safe in the face of the apostles' power. It's just a matter of whether we die sooner or later.

If the Apostle Crisis breaks out in a few years, there will be no need to fight for it.

With the current speed of technological development, it will not be difficult to mass-produce space elevators in a few years.

In addition, the current space elevator is an experimental machine and has great safety risks.”

After hearing these words, Fumihiko Ikari realized how narrow-minded he was.

He asked subconsciously.

"Where have you decided to build this space elevator?"

"Third New Tokyo."

Ikari Fumihiko was confused again.

"what??"

Coming back to his senses, he spoke in confusion.

"This place is always hit by earthquakes. What were you thinking? You actually want to build a space elevator here?"

The Goose Country representative spoke slowly.

"The equator is the most suitable area for building a space elevator. Japan is currently located on the equator because of the offset of the earth's axis."

Having said this he paused for a moment and then spoke again.

"Earthquakes are your inherent impression. In fact, the frequency of earthquakes in Japan has now dropped to a normal level, but these are just objective factors. The most important thing is that only this arrangement can convince those forces that are quick to act. At the same time, it can also shift the focus of these forces to the production of nanomaterials."

Ikari Fumihiko frowned.

"I don't have that much influence on this matter, do I?"

The representative of Goose Country spoke in an affirmative tone.

"You have it, and only you can suppress those oligarchs, capitalists, ambitious people, and chaebols who are ready to make a move..."

"..."

Fumihiko Ikari did not speak, waiting for the explanation from the representative of Goose Country.

The representative of Goose Country spoke.

"Because the construction of the space elevator cannot be separated from you, the official name of this nanomaterial is Ikari's Nano."

This nano material was forcibly given its own name. Although Fumihiko Ikari felt that this was unfair to the real developers, and they did not lack these achievements, after the NERV Council explained the situation, he now understood in his heart that the best solution to this matter was to go against his conscience and cooperate with the NERV Council. Only in this way could the hidden dangers that might erupt be suppressed.

But he still opened his mouth to correct it.

"This material was not developed by me, but by that team."

“You proposed the research direction.”

"Even without me, this material would still be developed. Anyone with a certain amount of scientific knowledge can tell the power of EVA skeleton."

As he said this he added something in his mind.

Of course, the premise is that the Three Sages System is not completely controlled by Seele, otherwise everything will be close to the original.

"You are too modest. If you hadn't integrated the platform and helped countries to remove restrictions and realize technology sharing, there would be no soil for the birth of this nanomaterial, and the speed of technological development would not be as rapid as it is now."

Uh……

There seems to be nothing wrong with saying this, and I really did play a significant role.

No one doesn't like to be flattered.

Fumihiko Ikari is no exception.

The representative of Goose Country spoke again.

"Of course, mankind will not forget the contributions made by this team in nanomaterials, and they will receive rewards commensurate with their achievements."

Fumihiko Ikari felt that he had said everything he needed to say, and NERV had also expressed its stance on the matter, so he didn't say anything more on the issue and turned the topic back to the site selection for the space elevator.

"I don't think it's appropriate to build a space elevator around Tokyo-3."

Others may not know, but he knows it clearly.

The Third New Tokyo is the main battlefield between humans and the apostles. Building a space elevator in such a place will definitely be affected and damaged.

"reason."

It was impossible for Ikari Fumihiko to say all this out loud, so he could only respond with some nonsense.

"intuition."

The three members of the NERV Council did not believe what Fumihiko Ikari said, but realizing that Fumihiko Ikari was unwilling to say it, they did not continue to ask questions and planned to analyze and investigate after the meeting.

"So what area do you think is suitable?"

"As long as it's far enough away from Tokyo-3."

At this point, Ikari Fumihiko thought of the original story in which the fourth angel, the Day Angel, landed in the third New Tokyo City from the Pacific Ocean. After thinking about it, he finally did not change his words because it would be too suspicious to change his words on the spot. He was ready to wait for the NERV Council to determine the new location and then decide whether to make corrections based on the situation.

"Okay, let's let the Three Sages System recalculate a position based on this condition."

Ikari Fumihiko just nodded and didn't reply.

Not long after, the Three Sages System pushed the results to several people.

It's not one coordinate, but multiple coordinates.

"These... choose one."

This arrangement by the NERV Council saved Fumihiko Ikari some trouble, and he immediately chose a location farthest from the third New Tokyo-city.

"Then let's do this."

The representative of Goose Country agreed.

"it is good."

The three members of the NERV Council looked at each other, and then the representative from Xia Country left temporarily under the pretext of going to the restroom. Apparently, he was going to arrange personnel to investigate what was so special about this place and why Fumihiko Ikari chose to build the space elevator here.

20:02:49

589. No need for amputation

Ikari Fumihiko guessed it, but acted as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, the representatives of Xia State returned.

"We have already explained what we want to say. Minister Ikari, do you have anything to add?"

"No."

"Then wait a moment and let's move to the meeting hall first."

"it is good."

After the call was disconnected, Fumihiko Ikari leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but sigh.

If things continue like this, when the Angels come, even if there are no EVAs to fight, humans should be able to pull them to the zoo for exhibition, right? ? ?

Hard to say……

If the battlefield is placed in outer space, there shouldn't be any problem, as there are too many things to consider on Earth.

Unless all human beings move to outer space, only then can they be free.

Thinking of outer space, he subconsciously looked up, but his sight was blocked by the ceiling and he could not see the sky above his head.

When Rei Ayanami's next birthday comes, she should be able to celebrate in space, right?!

It seems impossible to play cake wars in an unmotivated environment.

While he was daydreaming, the big screen suddenly lit up.

Across the screen is the United Nations Parliament Hall, which is now full of people, and almost all existing national spokespersons are present.

He had held many large conferences before, so he was not nervous when faced with this kind of situation.

Even thinking about it.

If I hadn't been celebrating Asuka's birthday before, I would have been asked to be there too! ?

After a while, the Speaker of the House spoke.

"Now that everyone is here, this meeting officially begins. Please invite..."

The Speaker of the House was interrupted by the representative of the Goose Country before he could finish his words.

"Don't waste time. We still know the reason why you held this meeting, and we have already discussed and reached a conclusion."

He glanced around at the representatives of various countries sitting in their respective seats.

Although these people are all participating countries of NERV, most of them do not know the true significance of NERV's existence, and they cannot even access the internal information of NERV. They are all peripheral members. The reason why they are gathered together now is naturally that the EU has brought them together to put pressure on the three major countries on the grounds of the space elevator.

"The first space elevator will be built in Japan. This is the conclusion we reached after discussing with Minister Ikari, the developer of the space elevator project."

Many small countries are looking to the EU.

The European Union fell silent at this moment. If the site of the space elevator was chosen outside Japan, they would all stand up and argue.

The only thing they didn't want to argue about was Japan.

Because Japan is Fumihiko Ikari's territory.

Fumihiko Ikari represents the Three Sages System and EVA, as well as the scientific research platform that has absorbed the world's cutting-edge talents.

They were not actually surprised by this result, but the complicated interest groups behind them were jealous of the space elevator. No matter how clearly they analyzed the pros and cons, some of these people were unwilling to give up and wanted to give it a try. There was no way around it because the benefits contained in the space elevator were simply too great.

Seeing that the leaders from the European Union did not speak, the small countries were not fools. They realized that there were inside stories that they were not aware of, so they all remained silent.

After seeing this scene, the representative of Goose Country felt relieved and spoke again.

"Then let's vote."

After representatives from all EU parties voted in favor, other countries also followed suit.

Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised to see this scene. He checked and realized that the reason why these countries regarded the EU as the leader was because the three major countries were united. These people were unaware of the existence of the Apostle Crisis and regarded this behavior as a potential threat, so they formed a group around the EU.

Of course, this is just the apparent reason, and the EU is definitely behind all of this.

After the site selection for the space elevator was passed unanimously, they began to discuss the relevant detailed terms.

The three major countries did not eat alone, but gave all NERV member countries the right to use the space elevator. Of course, they also had to bear the cost of maintenance and construction of the space elevator.

The conference hadn't ended yet, but the New Japanese currency began to soar outside the conference, allowing the New Japanese currency, which had never been able to open up the international market, to step onto the international stage.

however……

Just when the new Japanese currency was rising like a rocket, it was abruptly interrupted.

Because Goose Country suddenly spoke up.

"Once the space elevator is built, a credit system will be used as a condition for riding the elevator."

"What credit system? Bank ratings?"

"No, it's a tradable credit generated by the Three Sages system."

After hearing this, everyone understood that the three major countries were taking the opportunity to promote a new international currency.

Everyone, including Fumihiko Ikari, subconsciously looked towards the United States.

The hegemony of US dollars was definitely the one that suffered the greatest impact after the emergence of this new monetary system. Although this hegemony had become very weak after the second impact, being weak does not mean that it has disappeared.

The US representative said nothing, as if he didn't notice the gazes of the crowd.

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it and understood.

The hegemony of the US dollar is because the US dollar is forcibly linked to oil. Judging from the current situation, it is not an easy task for the United States to control oil again to maintain its hegemony. The most important thing is that with the current speed of technological development, oil will be eliminated soon. The United States is now unable to stop all this, so it can only stop the loss in time.

The same goes for everyone else.

After this proposal was passed, American hegemony, which lasted for nearly eight years after the second shock, finally came to an end and became a term that only exists in history.

The conference lasted a full week before the space elevator bill was finalized.

This time, Fumihiko Ikari did the same as usual and left early when he saw that there was nothing else for him to do.
