I participated in the development of EVA

But after thinking about it, I decided to throw this question to nerv.

It's not about trusting nerv.

Instead, he had to hand over the evidence. Only in this way could the cooperation between him and NERV be more solid.

Uh……

I don't think I need to say anything about this, right?

He came to his senses and realized that he did not understand the situation.

The reason why Nerv supports the artificial god project is that, besides the fact that humans really need such a force to fight against the apostles, they have seen the fatal flaw of artificial gods and have even made relevant preparations long ago. As long as the artificial gods get out of control, Nerv will immediately blow up the global three sages system, collapse the entire lepton network, and make the artificial gods fall from the altar.

Now that he understood all this, he sighed tiredly.

There is really an urge to eliminate the gaps between people. If humans had transparent thoughts like the Trisolarans, he wouldn't have to think so much.

Of course, he would just think about this kind of thing.

Everyone has secrets in their hearts that they don't want others to know. If human beings were truly transparent in their thoughts, it would be more destructive than the second impact.

Not to mention, he has more secrets in his heart than anyone else.

Although Fumihiko Ikari had been in expressionless mode with no emotion changing on his face, his body movement of relief was still caught by Naoko Akagi.

"The problem is solved?"

"That's it."

The problems of the second-generation machine and the artificial god have been solved. The remaining two threats are the mass-produced machine and the imitation Spear of Longinus.

The mass-produced machines themselves are not that powerful. In the original work, Asuka could face the siege of nine mass-produced machines alone and easily kill them. If Asuka had not been unaware of the characteristics of the imitation Spear of Longinus, she would not have been overturned. This is something that ordinary EVAs can do. As long as the perfect artificial gods can defend against the imitation Spear of Longinus, no matter how many mass-produced machines Seel manufactures, they will basically be wasted.

Thinking about it this way, Seele is no longer a threat...

Of course, Fumihiko Ikari just thought about it this way, but he didn't dare to relax at all.

The Unit 2 incident is the best example.

If he hadn't reacted in time, Seele would have been able to gain a lot of combat power for free with this move.

Naoko Akagi thought for a moment and spoke again.

"Is this problem... related to Seele?"

She thought about it for a long time before coming to this conclusion.

As for what this matter specifically had to do with Seele, she wasn't sure.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before nodding and giving an affirmative answer.

"Correct."

Naoko Akagi did not continue to ask. She wanted to know what happened before only because she cared about Fumihiko Ikari. Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no point in finding out more.

"The technical demonstration is almost complete. Now is the time to return to the research and development of artificial gods, right?"

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Ah."

Now that the data has been collected, it is time to focus our attention back on artificial gods.

He will t001...

Oh, no, the current number should be t1.

Transferring the project to the training department can be considered as finding a companion for Rei Ayanami.

The three of them then returned to the Artificial God Project Team.

When modifying the Type 02 prototype, Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi encountered a new problem. Ritsuko Akagi was too old to be an EVA pilot and could not use real machine driving. She could only use virtual driving, which would greatly reduce the power of the artificial god.

The thought of replacing the driver flashed through Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

It doesn't matter who drives the EVA...

Artificial gods are different.

The power of the complete artificial god is too strong, and he is worried about it falling into the hands of outsiders.

Naoko Akagi pondered for a long time before speaking.

“In fact, there won’t necessarily be rejection.”

This time, Fumihiko Ikari did not dare to pretend to understand and clearly expressed his incomprehension.

"???"

"According to the latest research, the activation of the immune system is actually controlled by the brain."

Naoko Akagi's words were a bit abrupt.

Ikari Fumihiko still understood.

"You mean, it will be the same as virtual driving. As long as you approve, Ritsuko's real driving will not cause rejection reaction?"

"Yes, His brain was transformed by the Three Sages."

This hypothesis was beyond Ikari Fumihiko's understanding, and he was unable to determine whether it was feasible for a while.

Akagi Naoko saw his hesitation and spoke again.

"Based on previous experimental data, even if I made a mistake and caused an immune rejection reaction during the experiment, Ritsuko would not be in any danger."

Ritsuko Akagi, who was listening to the two people's peace talk, also chimed in.

"I want to try."

20:15:29

634. Avoid Suspicion

Akagi and her daughter can be impulsive, but Ikari Fumihiko cannot. After all, one of them is his girlfriend and the other is his daughter.

"Okay, but... collect data once more before that."

The renovation project of the Type 02 prototype is related to the collection of adverse reactions caused by the rejection of older drivers.

There is nothing much to say about the former, as we now have complete data and information, which can be handed over to the Three Sages system and automated equipment. As for the latter... In fact, there has been enough data a long time ago. The damage to the human body caused by EVA rejection suffered by all the older testers is not serious, only slight mental damage, and they can recover after resting for a period of time.

However, Fumihiko Ikari still plans to collect more data.

This is considered to be prudent, and it also shows an attitude of concern for Akagi and her daughter.

While he was busy with these things, he received a call from Ikari Gendo.

A little unexpected, but not surprising.

Without answering the call, he had already anticipated what Ikari Gendō wanted to talk to him about. He must have received information about the second-generation aircraft and saw hope of rescuing Ikari Yui from the anchor point salvage technology.

He thought for a moment before answering the phone.

"what's up?"

Ikari Gendō is very straightforward.

“Can the double-bolt system be used in rescue operations?”

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at Zhao Shuo.

The rescue project for prisoners No. 1 and No. 2 was not as smooth as expected. They are all scholars in the field of biology, and rescue requires knowledge of psychology. Therefore, the rescue project has now been separated from the Artificial God Project and is taken over by Dr. Ito, who is in charge of the Hyacinth Project Team. The reason why he chose the Hyacinth Project Team to take over the subsequent rescue work is because he feels that the problems faced at this stage are not much different from awakening a vegetative patient.

Of course, in order to maintain confidentiality, relevant research can only be carried out through remote control.

He thought for a moment before speaking.

"Research in this area is ongoing, but there are no successful cases yet."

"Can you tell me the details?"

"Yes, the general idea is to implement the rescue through the dream program. However, this time it is not through communication, but through induction and deception, so that the devoured person will burst out with a strong will to escape from the core on his own. In simple terms, it is to create a real dream to deceive the target and achieve the goal."

As he spoke, Fumihiko Ikari pulled up Ikari Gendō's recent files.

There was no overly suspicious behavior, he just insisted on using the virtual warehouse every day, trying to reconnect with Unit-01 and see Ikari Yui again.

But every time I was rejected without exception.

"Professor Dongyue hopes to be able to participate in this rescue project."

"can."

Ikari Fumihiko did not refuse.

Today’s rescue projects are mainly carried out on the Internet, without access to the data of artificial gods.

"But I'd like to tell you in advance that the current rescue team is mainly focused on psychology and has little to do with biology."

"We just want to do our part in rescuing Yui Ikari."

Ikari Fumihiko did not believe what Ikari Gendō said.

It's good enough that Ikari Yui can be rescued, but just giving her hope is not enough to make Ikari Gendō change his mind.

Now, he wants Fuyutsuki Kozo to join the rescue project. In addition to wanting to contribute, he also wants to spy on the intelligence of artificial gods, complete the human completion plan, open the Gate of Gafu, and meet Ikari Yui again.

"I'll notify them in a moment, and you can ask Professor Dongyue to go directly there... Well, the rescue project is now in charge of Doctor Ito from the Hyacinth Project Team."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Fumihiko Ikari did not think about the meaning behind Ikari Gendō's call. He sent a message to Dr. Ito and then went back to work.

Because he has figured it out, Ikari Gendo is just like that now.

In the original work, the reason why Ikari Gendo was able to jump from a marginal member who joined SEELE halfway to become one of the directors of the Human Completion Neighborhood Committee was not because his ability was really that incredible, but because he had the authority of the Three Sages System in his hands, and Akagi Naoko's successor Akagi Ritsuko was devoted to him, as well as the help of Fuyutsuki Kozo.

Now, Gendo Ikari no longer has the opportunity to obtain the authority of the Three Sages System, and he only has the help of Kozo Fuyutsuki by his side, so it is difficult for him to cause any trouble.

To understand it from another perspective is...

He is Ikari Gendo from the original work.

Relying on the Three Sages System, he has gained the status to compete with Nerv and Seele.

If he didn't have the authority of the Three Sages System, he wouldn't even have the chance to talk to Nerv and Seele, let alone arm wrestle. There was only one result waiting for him: hand over everything he knew, and then... If he was lucky, he would be assigned to an unimportant position and monitored. If he was unlucky, he would completely lose his freedom and spend the rest of his life in prison.

The reason why Ikari Gendō is still able to thrive now is only because Seele no longer has the ability and dares not to add fresh blood.

Nerv and Seele have a cooperative relationship, but also an antagonistic relationship.

This was not the result of Fumihiko Ikari's instigation.

But in the eyes of Nerv, Seele and Fumihiko Ikari are both unstable factors, but both Fumihiko Ikari and Seele have the essential core technology, which postpones the conflict until Nerv masters the two core technologies. In other words, once Nerv deciphers the Longinus Metal and the Three Sages System, they will take action against Fumihiko Ikari and Seele.

The conflict among the three parties is not about interests, but simply about mutual distrust.

Under normal circumstances, there is room for easing this conflict, but now all of humanity is facing the threat of the apostles. Under this situation, NERV will not allow unstable factors to exist among humans.

simply put.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

Another half month passed quickly.

The Type 02 prototype has been modified and enough data has been collected. The EVA rejection reaction caused by an over-age driver will not be life-threatening.

but……

Fumihiko Ikari finally managed to hold on.

The first experiment was conducted on a semi-finished test machine to verify Naoko Akagi's previous judgment.

Ritsuko Akagi will not cause rejection by EVA who has been transformed by the three sages.

Naoko Akagi did not raise any objection to this proposal.

No matter how tight the time is, this little extra time won’t make a difference.

This time it was a real machine startup experiment, so Akagi and her daughter changed into combat uniforms.

Naoko Akagi appeared in front of Fumihiko Ikari in combat uniform but there was no reaction, while Ritsuko Akagi seemed a little shy.

however……

Her shyness was a bit wasted because Ikari Fumihiko's attention was not on her.
