I participated in the development of EVA

The premise is that he really possesses irreplaceable abilities.

"Nerv's actions are really fast—"

Ibuki Huimi sighed.

Ikari Fumihiko responded dully.

"Ah."

Although there was no trouble in the handover, the storm has already started and this place is destined to be the center of the storm. He really doesn't know whether he should continue to keep Ibuki Huimi.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, Fumihiko Ikari woke up to a rough start for the first time in a long time.

"I'm so sorry to disturb your rest, but there are some urgent matters that need Minister Ikari's cooperation."

The person who came was the life assistant Akagi Eri.

But the person who spoke was a senior agent of NERV.

Fumihiko Ikari subconsciously glanced at the time. It was not yet six o'clock.

"What is so urgent?"

"The expanded scientific research team has some information that they don't understand, so I asked you to come over."

After hearing this, he realized that the three major countries acted even faster than he expected and entered the underground base overnight.

At the same time, I was a little surprised.

"That's it?"

He was a little confused as to why the other party would come and disturb his rest just because of such a small matter.

"Yes, please hurry up, the expansion team is still waiting for you to come over."

After getting a positive answer and considering the man's attitude, he also reacted.

This is like killing the donkey after it has done its job.

No, it feels a bit inappropriate. To be more precise, they want to conduct a major purge to completely control the entire underground base. In fact, he had anticipated this before. After all, the personnel in the underground base are all SEEL members in the eyes of the three major countries. If Nerv wants to truly control this place, he must replace all the personnel here with his own people.

He had previously thought that things would be done slowly and gradually, but he did not expect that the three major countries would act so hastily.

"alright."

It really was not wrong at all. It's only been a day and the wind has already started to blow.

After changing clothes, I said goodbye to Ibuki Huimi.

"No need to wait for me for breakfast."

He then followed the visitor out of the dormitory, walked out of the living area and entered the scientific research area. He clearly felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, and there were fully armed patrol teams everywhere.

After walking for a while, he felt that the scientific research area was a bit too quiet today.

At this time of day, even if there are few people in the corridor, it is not like now where there are no scientific researchers.

Is this martial law?

Lock all personnel in the foundation into the living area?

Diameter came to the meeting room.

When I entered, I found that the room was already full of people, twice as many as the people who attended the meeting yesterday. It was obvious that these extra people were NERV's so-called "expanded scientific research team."

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started! Don't waste any more precious time."

The speaker was an elderly white man who spoke fluent English.

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at the man and then looked away. He did not say anything in response, but just sat silently at the head seat at the conference table.

17:54:06

411. Calculation

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, and neither did anyone else. The only sound in the meeting room was breathing.

He looked at the newcomers, and they looked at him. He couldn't tell what they were thinking, but he wasn't panicked. He knew clearly that his biggest reliance was not EVA, nor the Three Sages System, nor the EVA pilots in his hands, but the cornerstone of the two black technologies of EVA and the Three Sages System, the neural connection device.

Not only have scientific researchers been studying this for three years but still cannot figure it out, but even the Three Sages System cannot figure it out.

He didn't believe that these people could decipher it.

After a moment's silence, it was the old white man who broke the silence.

"That's enough. We are here to solve the problem and save human civilization. Don't waste any more time."

This time, Ikari Fumihiko didn't even look at the man and continued to remain silent. It seemed that he was ignoring the man, but in fact he was thinking about a countermeasure.

If we use Chinese now, we should be able to gain support from China.

Thinking this way, I prepared to do it, but gave up the idea when I opened my mouth.

The situation in China is not good in this era, and it may not be effective. It is better to continue to remain neutral.

"If you don't understand something, tell me."

He still used Japanese.

Some of the newcomers had confused looks on their faces, obviously they did not not understand Japanese, but most of them heard this sentence but no one spoke.

The white old man was already upset that Ikari Fumihiko ignored him, and now that Ikari Fumihiko was speaking Japanese, which he couldn't understand, he could no longer sit still and started talking, almost knocking on the table.

"English is the official language of nerv."

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko still ignored him, he immediately said something to someone else.

"Translate what I just said to him!"

No one got involved in this matter. Everyone present was not a fool. The scientific research team sent by the United States suddenly held this meeting, obviously wanting to test Ikari Fumihiko's identity. Now that someone was taking the lead, they naturally had no objection. In the end, a black person in the white old man's scientific research team took on this task.

Translated into Japanese.

"English is the official language of nerv."

This time, Fumihiko Ikari responded.

"I haven't seen such a clear provision, nor have I received such a notice."

After the black man translated these words to the white old man.

"I'm informing you now."

Ikari Fumihiko spoke again only after the black man finished translating.

"Just one official language? What about Chinese and Russian?"

This time the white old man didn't say anything, because the representatives of the Chinese and Russian scientific research teams were staring at him.

Ikari Fumihiko did not let the other party go just like that, and questioned him again.

"Okay, since you are telling me about NERV's rules and regulations, then you can answer me, in what capacity are you talking to me, the minister?"

He still understands the principle that good people are often bullied.

The white old man curled his lips in disdain, obviously looking down on Ikari Fumihiko.

“What’s important in the R&D department is not the individual’s position, but the individual’s ability.”

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, buying himself some time to think about how to respond.

"So, you are very capable?"

"Yes! I am the previous winner of the Nobel Prize in Biology."

Fumihiko Ikari originally wanted to respond directly in English, but in the end he decided to continue to disgust the other party in Japanese.

"Then why are you still here? Aren't all the scientific research materials open to you? There's no need to waste time asking me for advice, right?"

The black scholar hesitated and did not speak immediately.

Seeing this, representatives of the Russian scientific research team helped with translation.

The white old man's face became embarrassed and he wanted to get up and leave angrily, but he didn't dare to do so.

The scientific research data accumulated here over nearly seven years is too huge and complicated. If there is no one to lead the study, although it is not completely incomprehensible, it will be half the result with twice the effort. The horror is that by that time, people from the other two countries will have participated in the follow-up research, but they are still studying the technical data. If this really happens, he will be not far from "committing suicide".

Do you have to spare others?

Ikari Fumihiko understood this principle, but he knew even more clearly that he had to show a strong enough attitude, otherwise such temptations would become more and more severe in the future, just like a wild dog in Africa that encountered a wounded prey, tirelessly making one temptation after another. He did not have enough energy to deal with these, nor did he want to live such a tiring life.

The most important thing is his weak attitude, which will cause the warning he previously issued at the United Nations meeting to be ignored as nonsense.

In this situation, the most appropriate sentence is...

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

"Now that things have come to this, why are you still wasting time here?"

Before the Russian representative could continue to disgust the American representative, a member of the research institute translated Ikari Fumihiko's words.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the white old man.

He kept silent and sat there in silence. From his clenched hands, it could be seen that he was not a coward, but he felt that the time was not right and was suppressing his anger.

Fumihiko Ikari did not stop there, but continued to escalate.

He took out his phone and dialed the security department's number.

"Security, someone is disrupting the meeting here, please send someone to maintain order."

Fumihiko Ikari's action was seen as a joke.

The security personnel did not come over, and the white old man lost his patience and looked at Ikari Fumihiko with a sarcastic expression.

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised by this. After all, the white old man came here on behalf of the United States. Although the Security Department is composed of members of three major countries and is not a one-man show of the United States, the other two countries will not jump out to offend the United States just because of a word from Fumihiko Ikari. The United States is indeed in trouble now, but it is not gone.

No one spoke, and everyone watched the situation develop in silence.

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything else, but just sat there in silence. Anyway, the meeting couldn't go on, so he wouldn't be the one who was anxious.

Time passed by little by little, and no one jumped out, so the meeting remained in a stalemate.

The people who are most stressed are elderly white people.

Although the early convening of this meeting and the previous attempts were instructed by the higher-ups, the current stalemate in the meeting was due to him.

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Since Minister Ikari is unwilling to cooperate, there is no need to continue this meeting."

How could everyone present not know what the white old man was planning?

He planned to bypass Ikari Fumihiko and contact other core members of the institute directly. Although this would be a little more troublesome, it would still be able to solve the problem.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ikari Fumihiko.

17:54:23

412. You are a doctor

Ikari Fumihiko remained indifferent to the sarcasm and didn't even look at the white old man.

But he still spoke, still without giving any face.

"If anyone feels that this is a waste of time, they can just leave."

He was not good at strategy, so he did not see through the white old man's thoughts at the moment, but he also needed to know this, because he had the authority of the Three Sages System, and except for the database on the third underground floor, all other databases were under the control of the Three Sages System. He did not need to block the other party's access to the database. As long as he secretly modified the information, it would be enough for the other party to spend a lot of time on it.

This will cause the other team to fall behind other teams and make the higher-ups doubt this person's ability.

By then, even if the opponent doesn't die, he will definitely be badly injured.

The white old man stood up and prepared to walk out, but he found that except for his team, everyone else was sitting there without moving. His brows immediately frowned.

He reiterated it again.

"If Minister Ikari is unwilling to cooperate, what's the point in everyone staying here?"

The blame was still put on Fumihiko Ikari.
