I participated in the development of EVA

"you sure?"

Ritsuko Akagi was very excited.

I can finally work with my mother and Fumihiko Ikari.

"determine."

The reason why Ritsuko Akagi was restricted before was that no other alternative solutions were found except embedded completion.

In that situation, it is naturally impossible to let Ritsuko Akagi know the information related to soul injection. Now that another path has been found, there is no need to exclude Ritsuko Akagi.

The reason why Fumihiko Ikari continued to delay Ritsuko Akagi's joining the project team was not complicated.

Mainly human experiments and not wanting to be disturbed.

of course……

The former is more common.

After all, Ritsuko Akagi is now his daughter.

As this thought flashed through my mind, a strange feeling that was hard to explain suddenly emerged in my heart.

Just as he finished his meal and was about to get up and leave, Ritsuko Akagi spoke again.

"You don't want me to join the project team now because we are currently conducting human experiments, right?"

Although Ritsuko Akagi did not see the criminal, she saw the special supplies transported that day.

The screen above the strange instrument displays human medical data.

This made her conclude that the contents of those strange jar devices were humans.

Fumihiko Ikari originally didn't know how to explain why he didn't let Ritsuko Akagi join the project team, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him the answer now.

"Ah yes."

Akagi Ritsuko spoke seriously.

"Actually, I'm not as fragile as you think."

That's just what you think. There are some things that you may not be able to bear once you know the truth.

Of course, Fumihiko Ikari was just thinking about these in his mind.

"I know."

"Then why don't you let me join now."

"Some things can't be rushed, they need to be done gradually."

Without giving Ritsuko Akagi a chance to continue speaking, Fumihiko Ikari left, leaving Ritsuko Akagi with a depressed look on her face.

As soon as I walked into the control room, I heard Naoko Akagi speaking.

"The higher-ups said they would manufacture the second-generation EVA in Germany and asked us to provide technical support."

Ikari Fumihiko was not surprised by this, as they had discussed this last time.

What really concerned him was why Nerv chose to manufacture the second-generation EVA in Germany, since that was Seele's headquarters.

So he asked subconsciously.

"We're going to Germany?"

"We were not forced to go there, they just asked us to provide technical support."

Ikari Fumihiko breathed a sigh of relief.

If possible, he doesn't want to leave Japan. It's not because it's safe here. In fact, as long as Nerv wants to take action, he will not be safe anywhere.

But compared to other places, he is already familiar with everything here.

Then he thought of something.

"Unit 2 is still in Germany, right?"

"Half a year ago, Unit 2 was transferred to the U.S. branch."

Now Fumihiko Ikari had even less reason to go to Germany.

"Then I won't come over, I'll just provide remote technical support."

"okay."

It seemed that they had long anticipated that Ikari Fumihiko would make such a choice, or they might have made preparations for both situations. As soon as they replied to the message, new messages were sent over.

"It seems that the higher-ups have already mastered the technology related to EVA manufacturing."

The reason why Fumihiko Ikari said this is because the content of the above reply has nothing to do with EVA manufacturing, it is all about driver screening and training.

Naoko Akagi expressed her own opinion.

"The Three Sages System's archives contain all kinds of technical information. It's not difficult for them to manufacture EVAs. All they need to do is provide the site, equipment, and materials. The Three Sages System can handle everything else. That is, the two issues related to the soul, such as pilot selection and training, cannot be solved."

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari glanced at the fully automated safety verification experiment across the window and sighed in a trance.

"Times are changing so fast. Initially, everything had to be done manually, but now even the manufacturing of EVA can be fully automated."

After a pause, he spoke.

"In fact, the key to driver screening is not a complicated matter. I have already said it in my previous paper. Both parties are blood relatives, and one party is controlled to be around 14 years old. It can be younger, but not too old. On the other hand, there are not too many requirements. As long as the emotional bond between the two parties is strong enough, it will be fine.

For example, let's take the current Unit 2. Even though the power it can unleash during training is limited, once it unleashes a real battle, the potential of Unit 2 will be activated."

Akagi Naoko was slightly thoughtful.

"I see. You mean, when the driver encounters danger, it will trigger the protective desire embedded in the soul?"

"Yes, that's about what I mean. However, the key to resonance lies in emotional bond. It doesn't necessarily have to be about mother and daughter or mother and son."

Although Ikari Fumihiko said this, he knew it in his heart.

The first batch of EVAs produced by Nerv will definitely choose the direction of "maternal love".

The reason is very simple. First of all, the greatness of maternal love has been widely recognized by the world. Of course, the most important thing is that among the three existing EVAs, except for the special Unit-0, the other two all follow this route. Although there is not much reference experience, the first two have at least been successful. If Nerv pursues safety, it will naturally choose the same route.

Naoko Akagi sorted out Fumihiko Ikari's thoughts and then responded.

This time the reply from above was just as quick.

Is a monitoring network serial number.

When you open this serial number, a scene of a laboratory appears on the big screen.

The layout of the laboratory over there is almost exactly the same as here, the only difference is that most of the people here are Asians, while most of the people on the other side are Europeans.

wrong……

There is another difference.

They don't look like they are doing scientific research over there, but more like quality inspectors.

Because the Three Sages System took on most of the workload, the scholars on the opposite side could only watch from the sidelines to prevent mistakes.

Naoko Akagi had the same feeling.

"They looked like factory workers."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, I still can't take leave."

"???"

Naoko Akagi didn't understand.

Ikari Fumihiko had no choice but to explain.

"Once you ask for leave, your boss will realize that it doesn't matter whether you have it or not."

"Uh……"

Naoko Akagi was stunned for a moment and then responded with a chuckle.

"That's true."

Then she sighed again.

"It is precisely because the Three Sages System has such powerful performance that it has become the soil for the birth of the Artificial God Project."

Fumihiko Ikari knew what Naoko Akagi was saying.

The powerful intelligence of the Three Sages System allowed the factory to quickly enter full automation mode, freeing a large number of people from their original jobs. Otherwise... hundreds of millions of working people suddenly left the real world and entered the virtual game, and the real order would have been in chaos long ago. After all, these lost people did not die, they just entered the virtual game, and they still had to consume real materials.

Of course, if there was no plan for artificial gods, NERV would not have allowed such a situation to occur.

20:13:21

627. We have enough support and we have already taken the enemy. Now we are half a round behind and we still have to fight.

Although he was the one who created the situation, Fumihiko Ikari was still a little dazed at this moment.

He had never thought about it before.

There are still seven years before the apostles' attack in the original novel, and now EVA... has gathered all the conditions for mass production, and it is not the kind of mass production that embeds souls.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the new design of the second-generation aircraft can be successfully demonstrated.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

"It's incredible."

"really."

With all the accessories complete, the second-generation EVA testing machine was modified in just fifteen days.

The design of the machine is largely based on that of Unit 2, and the appearance is almost identical, with only the paint and insertion bolt system being different.

The paint scheme is white and red, and the front chest armor is engraved with capital letters T000.

This is the sequence drafted by Fumihiko Ikari.

T stands for two in English, which means two, and its meaning is very obvious, it is the second generation EVA000.

In addition, I also thought of the Terminator T800 in the movie.

Although the second-generation EVA uses two sets of insertion plug systems, there is only one protective device at the back of the neck. Compared with the first-generation EVA, this protective device is slightly larger, and there is no difference in other aspects. After all, this is the second-generation EVA test machine, which is mainly used to demonstrate technology, so naturally there will not be too many complicated changes.

"Minister Ikari, everything is ready here. We can start the first launch experiment of the second-generation aircraft at any time."

Fumihiko Ikari followed the local customs and responded in German.

"let's start."

The first test did not activate the dual plug system, but one person activated the EVA soul in the core, and the other connected through virtual driving.

Just as he expected.

When Nerv selected the pilot for the second-generation EVA test machine, it completely referred to the situation of the first-generation EVA.

wrong……

It’s not quite accurate to say it’s a reference. It should be said that it’s a complete replica of the first generation EVA.

The drivers were a mother and daughter.

The mother is a biology professor and the girl is a ten-year-old girl.

She looks somewhat similar to Asuka. Although there is a hint of nervousness on her face, her eyes are full of eagerness to try.

The mother first changed into the combat uniform which was mainly white with a secondary red, which tightly wrapped her curvy figure and showed the better curves of her body. The daughter also changed into the same style of combat uniform. Compared with her peers, she was relatively well developed, but compared with adults, she looked too immature.

No one paid attention to the mother's proud figure or the daughter's immature figure at this time.

People's attention is focused on this startup experiment that concerns the future of mankind.

The mother entered the insertion plug.

The daughter entered the virtual warehouse.

The experiment then began.

Both of them were swallowed by the LCL liquid. Both the mother and the daughter were panicked and overwhelmed by the first contact with LCL liquid. This was not normal behavior. It was obvious that both of them had received relevant training before the experiment began.

everything's ready.
