I participated in the development of EVA

As expected, this is the research institute that gave birth to EVA, the neural connection device, and the Three Sages System. The situation is really complicated. If I had known this would happen, I would never have come here.

That's what he said, but he knew it in his heart.

The reason why he was transferred here this time was mainly because the top management wanted to rely on Fumihiko Ikari to solve the problem of the No. 2 unit's pilot's inability to improve their synchronization rate.

When I arrived at the project team, I looked at Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi, and then glanced at the Three Wise Men prototype not far away.

If we only consider the potential for future development, he can judge that these two people together definitely have the potential to usurp the throne. After all, they have even created an incredible supercomputer like the Three Sages System. It's just that... potential is only potential after all, and it is meaningless if there is no time to grow.

There is no morality in the struggle for power, and nothing that happens is surprising.

In fact, the top leaders were so wary and distrustful that it was surprising that nothing happened to the two. Normally, under the current circumstances, the top leaders would not pick up the super brain at all, but would let the two die in an accident or sudden death the moment the three sages' first-generation machine was finalized.

however……

But the top management did not do so.

It is not difficult to guess that this situation would occur.

What the top management feared was not the talents of the two men, but what they had in their hands that made the top management dare not act rashly.

wrong!

The main reason is that he is afraid of Director Ikari.

He knew about both EVA and the Three Sages System, so he knew clearly the importance of the neural connection device in these two technologies. As long as they could not figure out whether Director Ikari had left any tricks in the neural connection device, the top management would not dare to act rashly. As for whether Director Ikari had left any tricks in the neural connection device, as long as they could not be absolutely sure that there were no tricks, they could only treat it as if there were.

This is still what he can understand, there must be other things he doesn't understand.

Although he had little contact with Fumihiko Ikari, he could see that unlike a pure scholar like Naoko Akagi, Fumihiko Ikari did not focus entirely on research.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he began to feel a headache for the top management.

In this situation, unless the top leaders show a desperate spirit, the status of both sides will be reversed in the near future.

Ikari Fumihiko does not need to do anything, he just needs to research something that can prolong life... and then Ikari Fumihiko will become a god in this world. The more powerful one is, the more he cannot resist the charm of longevity. As the old saying goes, as long as the price is right, capital will sell the rope to hang itself.

This is probably one of the reasons why the top management did not take action against Fumihiko Ikari?

Before meeting Ikari Fumihiko, he would have certainly scoffed at this, but after seeing the Three Sages System project, he now has no doubts at all whether Ikari Fumihiko has this ability.

My heart was burning with excitement for a moment, but it quickly cooled down.

This is indeed an opportunity.

But the risk was too great, and he was afraid that he would be crushed to death if he got involved.

"Director Ikari, Professor Akagi, good morning."

"Good morning."

"Ah."

Facing Professor Langley's greeting, Ikari Fumihiko responded absentmindedly, while Akagi Naoko responded more politely.

None of the three stopped to chat.

Ikari Fumihiko and the other person entered the office.

Naoko Akagi has checked this conference room and found no hidden surveillance equipment. The built-in camera has been controlled by the Three Sages System. It's not that she was not cautious, but no one expected that technology would develop so quickly when the surveillance network was set up. Now it's too late even if they want to remedy the situation.

Not to mention that if they want to set up another sufficiently covert wired network surveillance, they must destroy the wall. Such a big noise would be difficult to hide from Ikari Fumihiko and the others.

Even if he could hide it from the two of them, he couldn't hide it from the Three Sages System that controlled the surveillance network.

To deploy a wireless network monitoring device, the Sanxianren system only needs to add a wireless network signal receiver to solve the problem.

Fumihiko Ikari calmly activated the background program of the Three Sages System through specific gestures and took over the monitoring network.

"I came here to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

Naoko Akagi originally had no plan to come here today, leaving the matters concerning the first-generation machine entirely to Fumihiko Ikari, but she received a call from the other party in the morning.

"You really don't have any sense of crisis at all."

Uh……

I think so too.

Last night, Fumihiko Ikari dreamed of the death of Naoko Akagi in the original novel. He suddenly realized that both he and Naoko Akagi were at risk of being abandoned. He should not only think about how to bypass the eyes of the top leaders and secretly build a line connecting to the outside world, but should give priority to how to save his life.

Although EVA is the main force against the apostles in the original novel and possesses the power to destroy the world, it does not pose a big threat to the top leaders.

The Three Sages System is different and poses an absolute threat to the Human Completion Project.

The reason why the situation has not deteriorated to the point where direct action is required is simply because the top leaders are not sure whether they know about the Human Completion Plan, and the situation has not yet completely gotten out of control, so the top leaders have not taken action. Of course, it is also possible that someone in the top leadership is unwilling to let go of the bait of "artificial apostleization" that he had previously thrown.

Akagi Naoko was a little confused.

"???"

Ikari Fumihiko directly expressed his concerns.

"The merits are greater than the master's."

17:28:42

347. Safe

Naoko Akagi is not stupid, she just doesn't think about this. Now when she heard the prompt, she reacted instantly.

His brows immediately frowned.

"Are you worried that the higher-ups will use physical means to gain access to the Three Sages System?"

Fumihiko Ikari has been smoking recently.

"Don't be so strict about this kind of thing. Why bother with physical means? Why not just say assassination?"

After bowing her head and pondering for a moment, Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"impossible."

???

"How is it impossible?"

In the original book, you were killed at this moment, okay!

"I said it's impossible because the higher-ups are very wary of you. If I were alone, they might really take action."

???

Fumihiko Ikari was a little confused.

What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid that I eat three steamed buns for one meal, or that I can't be killed by a single bullet? Or is Unit-0 going berserk?

The top management will definitely make a plan, and will not let Rei Ayanami have no chance to contact Unit-00 when they are preparing to kill me. As for whether there will be a chance in the future? Once the top management chooses to take action, they must have made plans to abandon Unit-00, or fabricate a lie and say that he was controlled to force Rei Ayanami to submit.

Of course, the possibility of the latter is far lower than the former.

Since we have chosen to take action, we naturally have to eliminate all potential threats. How can we possibly keep Rei Ayanami, a potential threat who could explode at any time?

"The top management knows that I won't do something that results in both of us perishing. Well, how should I put it? Just like the Dark Forest Law you mentioned earlier, the top management will suspect whether I have left a secret door in the Three Sages System, and whether I will do something that will result in both of us dying. As long as they determine that there is a high probability that I will not perish together with them, the top management will act without hesitation.

They have never been able to see through your character, that’s why they are so wary of you.”

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

The reason why the top management dared to take action in the original work was probably because Naoko Akagi loved Gendo Ikari so deeply that it gave them the confidence to take action.

Now if the top leaders were to take action, they would be very cautious.

They were worried that some secret door might be left in the Three Wise Men system, and once something happened to Naoko Akagi, the whole system would be paralyzed, which was what Naoko Akagi had said before, a mutual destruction. The top management also needed to use the Three Wise Men system to perfect EVA's weapons and equipment for use against the Apostles in the future, as well as the mechanical transformation of the human body to prolong lifespan and develop power.

No matter how you look at it, the top management should be more wary of Naoko Akagi.

"Am I hard to understand? Haven't I been thoroughly analyzed long ago?"

Naoko Akagi chuckled but did not give a direct answer.

"The higher the position, the more suspicious one is."

"That's right! I have no ambitions at all and I'm an open person, so why am I feared by others?"

"hehe."

This time, Naoko Akagi laughed out loud.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"letter."

Fumihiko Ikari is indeed an easy person to understand when you get along with him, but the things that happened to him are terrifying when you think about them carefully.

Especially the incident in which Yui Ikari disappeared.

The whole thing seems to have little to do with Ikari Fumihiko, but the concept of soul injection was proposed by Ikari Fumihiko, and Professor Yamaki and Ikari Yui, the two key figures who prevented Ikari Fumihiko from taking over, all fell into this project... Sometimes Naoko Akagi couldn't tell whether all this was Ikari Fumihiko's calculation or a coincidence.

This is the case with her and Fumihiko Ikari in daily interactions, let alone others.

"The top brass is mainly worried about what back-up plans you have put in place on the neural connection device."

The topic is back on track.

Ikari Fumihiko frowned and thought.

It is not impossible that the top management has such concerns, but he still feels that this is somewhat unsafe.

"A blacksmith must be strong himself. You cannot leave your life and death entirely to the will of others."

"how do you want to do it?"

Before coming, Fumihiko Ikari had not figured out how to solve the problem, otherwise he would not have gone to Naoko Akagi.

But when he said this, an idea popped into his mind.

"Individual biological armor?"

Most of the black technologies in this world, whether it is EVA or the Three Sages System, are closely related to the Apostles. If you want to develop life-saving abilities, you naturally have to start from this aspect.

Naoko Akagi thought seriously for a moment before speaking.

“The possibility of manufacturing it is not high, but the success rate of human body modification is slightly higher.

The fact that the pilot of Unit 00 was able to be cloned meant that EVA cells could fuse with the human body, but this fusion seemed to be unique. EVA cells could only fuse with the DNA of one person. As long as a solution to this problem was found, humans would be able to evolve again and master the power that resided in the mind.

at force field! "

Ikari Fumihiko remained silent. If it were in the past, he would have denied it directly, but now he was a little hesitant.

After going through so many things, he was also affected by his identity.

But in the end he shook his head.

“That’s not something we can get into right now.”

Naoko Akagi heard the hidden meaning.

"Do you know why?"

The appearance of Rei Ayanami is most likely the choice of the second angel Lilith.

Of course, Ikari Fumihiko would never say such a guess.

Any information beyond the scope of my current identity will not be discussed, no matter how big or small, no matter how much I trust the other party.

"I don't know. I can only analyze that this aspect definitely involves gene editing. It's okay for ordinary organisms, but for mysterious organisms like EVA, it's hard for us to produce any results in a short period of time. The most important thing is that once we start this, many innocent people will die. We can control our own research progress and will not conduct radical experiments in pursuit of progress, but we can't control others."

Akagi Naoko responded simply.

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko pondered for a moment before speaking.

"What about robots? Can we make them with our current technology?"

"You can try using the Three Sages System, but it's hard to form any combat power in a short period of time, and it's also difficult to get the materials to make robots."

Naoko Akagi pondered for a moment before speaking her mind.

"The best solution now is to start directly from the top level."
