I participated in the development of EVA

I haven't decided whether to use this solution yet, but you have already thought of a name for it! ? Aren't you being a little too hasty?

"hyacinth??"

"It is the name of a flower, and it implies love that is reborn."

“This implication really fits the experiment itself.”

Doctor Ito nodded, and then said goodbye: "I'll leave first. You can contact me at any time if you have any instructions."

"Ah."

After getting Ikari Fumihiko's approval, Dr. Ito turned and walked out.

After leaving the third floor, he took out his phone and dialed Ikari Yui's number.

"Have you read the email?"

"Did you write it for him?"

Dr. Ito was speechless. Why was he still concerned about such insignificant matters under such circumstances?

"Yes."

"I said, his writing can't be that good."

"Isn't this the time to talk about this?"

"If not these, what should we talk about? You don't want me to stop the bait, do you?!"

Dr. Ito admitted his intention very straightforwardly.

"Correct."

Ikari Yui sighed.

"If you wanted to hide this bait, why did you write it down at the time?"

"He will definitely check the emails after I leave."

"You should know in your heart that there is no point in doing this."

Dr. Ito naturally knew that there was no point in doing so, but humans could not stand the torture now, so he just hoped that Ikari Yui could find a way to solve it.

Ikari Yui added another sentence.

"This is not something you should worry about. Just do what you should do."

76. The final choice of mankind in desperate situation

Ikari Yui had long anticipated that Ikari Fumihiko would cause trouble, but she didn't expect that Ikari Fumihiko would act so quickly and use such a petty trick.

wrong--

This is a naked conspiracy.

Sitting in the chair and reading the email again, she felt a little anxious.

Like Dr. Ito, she was also worried that this email would become the fuse that triggered internal strife. If the top management really split because of this infighting, it would undoubtedly affect the subsequent research and development progress of EVA, and even cause the project to be shelved indefinitely, making the situation, which had just improved, worse.

I have a severe headache at this moment.

Do you do things without considering the consequences at all?

Are they really not worried at all and this will lead to the extinction of mankind?

Rubbing his aching head, he sighed helplessly. There was no point in complaining now.

The cell phone rang at this moment.

One glance at the caller ID and she realized that the bait thrown by Ikari Fumihiko had been taken.

"Minister Ikari, please come to the conference room."

After handing Shinji Ikari to the nanny, she walked out of the minister's office and came to the meeting room.

When he was about to enter the conference hall, he was stopped by a senior executive.

"You know the plan."

Ikari Yui naturally knew that the other party was referring to the Human Completion Project.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"I know a little, but I don't know much."

"That plan is not as simple as you understand."

Ikari Yui's face turned serious. Things were worse than expected. The bait had just begun to ferment, but signs of division had already appeared among the top management.

If it wasn't to get her support, no! It was to get the support of the R&D department.

The higher-ups wouldn't discuss these matters with her at all.

“I don’t quite understand.”

"You don't need to know too much, just know one thing."

"what's up?"

"That plan not only fulfills our long-cherished wish of continuing for 2,500 years, but is also humanity's final trump card."

"???"

"If the enemies we face in the future are so powerful that the power of EVA cannot help humans defeat them, what should we choose!?"

The senior management did not elaborate, but Ikari Yui already understood the meaning of these words.

When humans are unable to defeat the apostles and prevent the Third Impact, let the gods of mankind destroy the enemies!

Sacrifice all of humanity to complete the gods and destroy the enemy.

This will also lead to the demise of civilization, but she would rather see humans destroyed in the struggle than accept the outcome of being destroyed by the enemy.

and--

As long as the completed god exists for one day after defeating the enemy, humans, who are part of it, will also exist for one day.

The senior management seemed to have seen through Ikari Yui's thoughts and immediately added another sentence.

“His existence is the continuation of humanity.”

Ikari Yui stood there in a daze, and it took her a long while to react. She couldn't believe that the Human Completion Project actually hid such a side.

At this moment, she thought of more things.

The top leaders are not as solid as they seem. Although they have reached a consensus on the Human Instrumentality Plan, they have different definitions of it. Some people simply want to become part of God, while others see it as the last choice for humans in desperate situations.

wrong!

Realizing that something was wrong, she forced herself to calm down.

You can't jump to conclusions so easily. I don't know the specific content of the Human Instrumentality Project. These are just one-sided statements from the other party.

You can believe part of it, but not all of it.

The top management waited for Ikari Yui to digest the news before speaking in a sincere tone, "You still have doubts in your heart, and you won't believe anything I say, but I still hope you can choose to believe... We are also human beings, and we have the same feelings as everyone else. Everything we do now is for humanity."

Ikari Yui nodded sincerely.

"I can feel that everyone has the same desire to save humanity."

He said this, but he didn't believe it at all.

The senior executive didn't say anything else, and Ikari Yui followed him into the meeting room.

All the senior executives were present without exception.

"Now that everyone is here, let's first learn about the information to be discussed in this meeting."

Ikari Yui briefly flipped through the documents in front of her.

As expected, the content of the file was exactly the content of the email.

After a while, one of the senior executives spoke up to break the silence.

"Everyone has read the contents of the document before coming here. Let's not waste everyone's time and skip this part and get straight to the point." After a while, he added, "There is no need to discuss the mind incubation plan. The method of manufacturing the link device is in his hands. The initiative is not in our hands."

Another senior executive added to this.

“No matter which method is used to incubate the soul, the leading role in the later cultivation is still in our hands.”

No one spoke any more after that.

Ikari Yui knew what everyone was thinking and was not focusing on the issue of spiritual incubation, which had a significant impact on the subsequent development of the E-plan.

Ikari Yui hesitated for a moment and then spoke to break the silence.

"Regarding the shelf life issue, he gave two different solutions." After a pause, he added, "The first solution is easier to verify and has the highest probability of success in theory. The second solution is purely a bold conjecture based on theory. Based on the current situation, we can temporarily ignore it and discuss it later when there is theoretical support."

At this time, only she can say these words to avoid the intensification of conflicts to the greatest extent.

This was the reason why she was called to the meeting.

After another moment of silence, seeing that still no one spoke, Ikari Yui continued speaking.

“Both options require relevant data verification.”

Still no one spoke.

Ikari Yui could only continue, "I agree. Team Leader Fumihiko will be the overall leader of the Lingbo Project Team."

Only then did anyone speak.

"Agree."

"Agree."

……

No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface everyone agreed with the proposal.

The current situation can still remain stable, not because of how important Ikari Yui is, but because the bait has not yet been completely dissolved. People can still remain restrained and maintain superficial stability. As long as there is data to support the apostle theory, the situation is beyond her control, even for Ikari Fumihiko, the person who threw the bait.

Subsequently, relevant arrangements for the Lingbo project team were discussed.

Compared with the last meeting, this time Ikari Yui clearly felt that the resource investment in the Lingbo project had increased.

His expression was a little dazed.

This……

In this case, wouldn’t it be that all of them have taken the bait?!

wrong!

It should be an exchange of interests, or a compromise to maintain the situation.

At the same time, an idea popped into my mind.

If Fumihiko Ikari was here, he would be able to see more, right? !

of course……

The premise is that he is really a cunning person.

As a relative, she hopes that Fumihiko Ikari is a good person.

77. What? You mean strategy? Uh... does game strategy count?

After Dr. Ito left, Fumihiko Ikari thought for a long time before he figured out a simple truth.

Using a neural connection device on a vegetative patient, although this plan itself is to verify the technology and there are certain unknown risks, this kind of thing is essentially no different from ordinary medical operations. It is just a medical body and a medical spirit. Previously, he paid too much attention to verifying the technology and completely ignored the fact that this is actually treating a disease and saving lives.

There is no essential difference between the two.

He sighed and said something in his heart.

It turns out that I have too little experience and consider things too one-sidedly...

Otherwise, such a simple thing could be figured out from the beginning, and there would be no need to struggle with it for so long.
