I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Fumihiko responded indifferently at first, but reacted the next moment.

His face turned a little ugly.

Naoko Akagi hadn't seen any expression change on Ikari Fumihiko's face for a long time. When she saw this scene, she immediately asked nervously.

"what happened?"

Ikari Fumihiko had a gloomy face and replied subconsciously.

"nothing."

What he said did not make Akagi Naoko feel at ease. Instead, it made her frown even more and she asked again.

"In the end what happened."

Ikari Fumihiko replied in the same tone.

"nothing."

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko was really unwilling to talk, Akagi Naoko did not ask any more questions, but thought alone about what made Ikari Fumihiko's face change drastically. Soon she realized that the key was that 'the performance of the second-generation EVA test machine is consistent with that of the second unit' which made Ikari Fumihiko have such a reaction.

But she couldn't understand why Ikari Fumihiko would react like this...

The second generation machine only has an improved driving system, and the design of other aspects is the same as the second machine. Isn’t it normal that the performance is the same as the second machine! ? ?

629.sele

What Fumihiko Ikari didn't say was that he thought of the original settings related to Unit 02.

Unit 2 is different from Unit 0 and Unit 01. It is an EVA created using Adam's cells.

If Naoko Akagi hadn't mentioned just now that the performance of the test machine was exactly the same as that of Unit 2, he would have forgotten this original design.

I went to the computer and took a look at the background data.

What Akagi Naoko said before was not accurate enough. The appearance data of the second-generation test machine and the No. 2 machine were the same. The data of the current No. 2 machine has changed in the six months of running-in with Asuka, but Asuka has not grown up yet, so the change is still very subtle and not as obvious as the change of the No. 0 machine.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that the test machine has the same factory data as the second machine.

He checked the factory data of Unit-00 and took a look.

There is an obvious difference between the two. If we look at the factory data, Unit-0 is much weaker than Unit-2 and looks like it is malnourished.

Unit-01 has not been powered on yet and therefore lacks data for comparison.

However, even if there is data, the parameters of Unit-01 have no reference value, because Unit-01 was cultivated using half of Lilith's body, which is different from EVAs such as Unit-02 and Unit-00 that are cultivated using cells.

Naoko Akagi frowned more and more as she watched Ikari Fumihiko anxiously searching for information, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Unit 0 is a test unit, so isn't it normal that its factory data is worse than Unit 2 and the second generation unit?!

She couldn't find the problem, but she knew that Ikari Fumihiko would not let her go for no reason, so there must be a problem that she didn't know about.

Fumihiko Ikari sat in front of the computer, frowning as he looked at the data on the screen.

It was a long time before he spoke.

"Naoko, submit your application now. I want to build the second second-generation test machine here."

Due to the special nature of Rei Ayanami, Unit 0 is still a little inadequate as a reference data.

The safest way now is to stop the research and development of the second-generation machine. Although he has the power to stop the development of the second-generation machine openly, it is obvious that Nerv will definitely not give up the development of the second-generation machine. His stop now will only make the development of the second-generation machine go from open to secret. Therefore, he can only create another second-generation test machine as a reference to confirm whether his previous guess is correct.

If the second generation unit really uses the same Adam cells as the second unit, then it can be basically confirmed...

This is the pit that Seele dug for the second-generation aircraft.

It could be that they are playing a trick of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, or they could be trying to sabotage the development of the second-generation aircraft.

There is no problem with Adam's cells producing EVA. The problem is that Seele holds the trump card of Kaworu Nagisa, the human container that carries Adam's soul.

Judging from the development of the original plot, it is not difficult to notice.

Kaworu Nagisa has absolute control over the Adam series EVA.

Simply put, if the second-generation machine uses Adam cells, it is providing combat power for Seele to complete the human completion plan. Even if Kaworu Nagisa cannot control too many second-generation machines at one time, he can create a "second-generation machine group runaway incident", so that he can stab humans in the back at a critical moment, or let the second-generation machine plan fail in the womb.

After all, if a group of second-generation aircraft were to go berserk, people would definitely think that there was something wrong with the design of the second-generation aircraft.

Rather than destroying the second-generation machine plan, he felt that Seele was more likely to use NERV's information to create an EVA for himself in order to regain control of the situation.

Naoko Akagi wanted to ask again, but finally suppressed her doubts.

He nodded silently in response.

"it is good."

He then wrote a report and submitted it.

The reply above was quick.

Almost soon after the report was sent, I received a reply, and the message was very concise.

【pass. 】

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised by this.

The higher-ups didn't ask anything. Are they just... sitting on the mountain and watching the fight? ?

Now he had some doubts. The NERV Council proposed the second-generation machine plan, in addition to boosting confidence, mainly to take the opportunity to test whether there were any traps in the cooperation with Seele to manufacture EVA. In short, the NERV Council knew that there was an information gap between itself and Seele, so it let him join the game to fight Seele and clear the mines for itself.

Is this conjecture possible?

possible.

To put it simply, the NERV Parliament is the United Nations Parliament. There are no fools who can sit in that position... Even if there are, there are professional think tanks behind them.

It is impossible to be completely led by Seele.

The situation in the original novel was entirely due to Seele creating an insurmountable technical barrier through the Three Sages System. In the original novel, Seele was not interested in this, otherwise, if he had made good use of the Three Sages System to develop for a period of time... he would not have needed to deal with the United Nations at all, because it was the United Nations.

It would not be difficult to even abandon the people on Earth and develop a second human civilization in the universe.

Thinking of this, another question came to my mind.

Does the NERV Council know that the second-generation test machine is part of the Adam series?

After thinking about it, I felt that I should know.

Seele would not hide it, nor could he. After all, Nerv had a large number of scholars under his command, and it was impossible for them not to be able to distinguish the difference between the two in terms of cells. It was even because they knew that there was a difference in the cells between the two, and the overall strength of the Adam series EVA was stronger than the Lilith series, that they chose to carry out the second-generation machine plan in Germany. Without knowing the special existence of Nagisa Kaworu, it didn't matter who they chose in Nerv's opinion...

These are all unknown creatures to humans.

And if you look at the problem from another angle, you will feel that the Adam series is safer than the Lilith series.

Because Adam is dead, Lilith is still alive.

After thinking it all through, he sighed secretly.

No wonder...

Seele suddenly released his control over Longinus Metal, which was a big move.

Theoretically, it is impossible for him to know about the existence of Kaworu Nagisa, because this is Seele's top secret and even Yui Ikari does not know it.

As long as he doesn't know about the existence of Kaori Nagisa, Seele's plan will basically not fail, because the Adam series EVA has better performance than the Lilith series EVA. It's very simple. For humans, they can build anything early, so there is no reason to choose Lilith, which has weaker performance, instead of Adam.

Resources were quickly deployed.

Fumihiko Ikari did not activate the original body, but instead cultivated a new body from scratch and ordered the Three Sages System to monitor the entire process.

The whole process is tracked and monitored from cell extraction to cell culture.

Although he didn't watch it, he gave the monitoring task to Ritsuko Akagi who was eager to try.

It took half a month before everything was ready.

Fumihiko Ikari said something to Ritsuko Akagi.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ritsuko Akagi had just joined the project team and was eager to perform, so she performed the task very seriously and hardly had any rest during the whole process, which resulted in heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"This is the essence of my job. It's not about hard work or not."

20:14:21

630.t001

The bodies and processed restraints were all transported to another laboratory.

The Artificial God Project Team does not allow outsiders to enter, so Fumihiko Ikari completed the construction of T001 in another laboratory.

The design of this T001 has not been modified in any way and uses the same design as Unit . The only difference is that it uses a body cultivated from Lilith's cells.

The reason why Fumihiko Ikari specially built a second-generation machine in the Lilith series was not purely for collecting data.

otherwise……

He could simply compare the cells of the second-generation test machine with Lilith's cells to see if they were consistent.

The fundamental purpose of taking so much trouble to create T001 is to conceal his true intentions and prevent Seele from seeing what he is thinking.

Compared with German laboratories, the level of automation here is higher.

Therefore, it only took one week to manufacture the T001. If an EVA mass production factory is established according to the local automation standards, more than second-generation machines can be produced a year. Of course, this is the case with only one assembly laboratory. In theory, as long as resources keep up, the production scale can be expanded indefinitely.

To exaggerate a little, even within one production cycle, everyone can have a second-generation EVA.

Even one person is assigned more than a dozen machines.

Theory is just theory after all. In fact, if that were really done, Lilith's daily output of LCL would definitely not be able to keep up, and similar to Seele, it would not be able to produce so much Longinus Metal.

After T001 was manufactured, Fumihiko Ikari gave the right to choose the driver to NERV.

no way!

If he didn't give up the right to choose the driver, he would have to let Akagi and his daughter take the lead, but that was a bit too much...

Ritsuko Akagi is young, but she is seriously over the limit when it comes to driving an EVA.

The list of pilots this time still remains in the category of those with clear success cases, and it is still a mother-daughter combination, but compared to Unit-000, Unit-, and T... the mother of this combination is only a doctor and does not have the title of professor. Other than that, there is not much difference in other aspects. It is obvious that this is the only female biology professor who meets the requirements in the world.

The mother looked very excited when she saw Fumihiko Ikari.

"minister."

There was a strong sense of admiration in his tone.

Ikari Fumihiko's reaction was calm, and there was no wave of emotion in his heart. He was already accustomed to such admiration.

"Well, you should be aware of the dangers of this experiment."

"I know."

Compared to the daughter of the previous pair, this daughter is a little shy and afraid of strangers. Since she appeared, she has been hiding behind her mother, looking around nervously.

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari's eyes were on her daughter, the mother excitedly pulled her daughter out from behind.

"Zhou Zhou, this is the Minister Ikari that I often mentioned to you."

The daughter cried out shyly.

"Uncle Minister."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded politely.

"Zhou Zhou, how old are you this year?"

"Twelve years old."

After saying that, the little guy hid behind his mother again.

The mother seemed to be worried that her daughter would lose her place in the test if she did not perform well, so she immediately explained.

"She is just a little shy, but she is usually quite courageous."

"fine."

After responding first, Ikari Fumihiko said another word of comfort.

"Don't be so nervous, take the little one to change clothes first... um, by the way, did you receive training before coming here?"
