I participated in the development of EVA

【I can.】

When saying this, Ritsuko Akagi's tone clearly lacked confidence.

【You can not. 】

Ritsuko Akagi was silent for a moment before speaking again.

【So what should I do now? 】

【Help me take care of Holly. 】

[Is that all…]

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking again.

【Help me complete the Skynet system. 】

[Skynet system? Another Three Sages system? ]

[No, it is to build a surveillance network throughout the base, and automatic puppets. ]

[Automaton?]

[It's a robot. We need a reliable force to drive the nerv forces out of the institute. Only by ensuring the safety of the surrounding area can we get out of the deterrence system.] The reason why robots are used instead of more practical mechanical equipment to complete this task is naturally because robot research and development is difficult. Only when the research and development difficulty is high enough, Ritsuko Akagi will have enough things to do to keep the lie going longer.

In order to avoid arousing Ritsuko Akagi's suspicion, Fumihiko Ikari added another sentence.

[These robots may have to perform infiltration work in the future, infiltrating NERV to obtain intelligence, and they must be able to look real enough. ]

【I see. 】

[Go, take Li to the underground base. ]

The reason why Rei Ayanami was allowed to stay in the villa above ground was because she could see the sky and feel the weather changes there, and the living conditions were better than underground.

Of course the most important thing is...

The underground base is too much like a cage.

Although Ritsuko Akagi did not know the specific situation of Rei Ayanami now, but thinking about what she had encountered, she could guess that Rei Ayanami was most likely under control now.

Will they release him?

[Yes, as long as I don't do anything too extreme, they won't dare to test me again.]

【it is good. 】

After Ritsuko Akagi left.

Ikari Fumihiko received a prompt from the Three Sages System.

[The Japanese representative wants to speak to you. 】

"Send them the preliminary proposal for the Skynet project."

【Sent.】

The initial plan was simple and easy to implement, which was to deploy a sufficient number of surveillance cameras in all public places.

After the establishment of NERV, Japan played the role of an Apostle technology experimental base internationally.

Therefore, this is the country with the highest popularity of virtual games.

This also made the initial planning and execution of the Skynet Project very simple, because the current major cities were like the third New Tokyo City in the dream, and all residents gathered around the Dream Hotel. There were basically no villages and towns in the countryside. There were only seven cities in the country with a population of 38 million.

Yes.

Japan's current population has dropped from 127 million before the Second Impact to 38 million.

This is why the previous apostle attacks did not cause casualties.

As for what the next step of Skynet project will be.

He hasn't thought it through yet, and is ready to deploy the Three Sages in all aspects by solving problems as they arise.

Now his most urgent problem is...

How to obtain Longinus Metal.

Because in order to complete the "transaction", there must be enough Longinus Metal.

And the reason why he provided EVA to the partner countries was very simple.

Because these countries need EVA's power to deter the NERV Parliament. Of course, EVA can only play a limited role in this regard due to its own shortcomings. For these countries, the significance of EVA's existence is actually that these countries need EVA to guard against attacks from apostles.

simply put.

Even if the apostles can be eliminated by missiles, it is not easy to deal with them.

With the capabilities of these countries, they could only resist the apostles once or twice in a short period of time before running out of ammunition and food. Not to mention this time when the apostles attacked, these countries were forced to become the main force of the attack, and they had already consumed a wave of domestic ammunition. Therefore, these countries urgently needed a method to fight against the apostles for a long time. EVA was undoubtedly the lowest cost and most suitable choice.

Thinking about the problem of Longinus metal, Fumihiko Ikari subconsciously looked underground.

Others think that when Seele named this special metal that suppresses the apostle's consciousness, he hoped that this metal could become a gun in the hands of humans to kill gods, and that the Spear of Longinus that sealed the second apostle was made of Longinus metal.

This is actually a correct understanding, however...

The logic is wrong.

The Lance of Longinus came first, then the Metal of Longinus.

He had always thought that Longinus Metal was the metal affected by the power of the Spear of Longinus.

However, he couldn't figure out how Seele could stably attach the power of the Spear of Longinus to ordinary metal. In addition, the NERV Council had always refused to allow him to have any form of contact with the Second Angel, not even through surveillance footage. Therefore, he had never had the opportunity to verify his thoughts.

Things are different now…

The two sides have already torn their faces apart.

Now the second apostle Lilith and the Spear of Longinus are in his hands.

Thinking of this, an idea flashed through his mind.

Could the Spear of Longinus stuck in the body of the second apostle Lilith in the ground be a replica?

Seele probably didn't have this ability at that time, right?

He lacks a bit of confidence.

It is highly likely that Seele would not have left behind the Spear of Longinus, an important item, when he evacuated. He also felt that it was not difficult to copy the Spear of Longinus. As long as one could master the ability to manufacture Longinus metal, it could be copied, because the copy of the Spear of Longinus was most likely made of high-purity Longinus metal.

Moreover, after leaving the institute, Seele still possesses the ability to manufacture Longinus Metal.

20:22:00

662. You are a real dog

Ikari Fumihiko sighed.

There is not necessarily no chance.

In the original novel, Seele kept the Spear of Longinus stuck in the heart of the second apostle Lilith, which shows that they were afraid of pulling out the Spear of Longinus.

Let’s hope so.

Regardless of whether the Spear of Longinus currently inserted into the heart of the second apostle Lilith is real or fake, he has no chance to verify it for the time being.

There are certain risks in leaving the Type 02 prototype.

If he were alone, it wouldn't matter, but if something happens to him now, Ritsuko Akagi, Rei Ayanami, and even Asuka and his two ex-girlfriends will not be able to escape the fate of being liquidated.

Besides confirming it yourself, you can ask others to verify it for you.

At the moment, the only people he could trust around him were Ritsuko Akagi and Rei Ayanami. He didn't want to let the former know too much, and the latter knew nothing, so there was not much point in going. Moreover, he was worried that if they came into close contact, the part of the second apostle Lilith in Rei Ayanami would awaken, and just like in the original novel, she would say "I'm back" and merge with the second apostle Lilith.

【Emails from Britain, France and Germany on cooperation.】

"Open."

After a quick scan, I found that there is no problem with Britain and Germany in the Three Kingdoms. They just need to build EVA first to accumulate strength and then turn the cooperation from secret to open.

This request seems to be no problem, but in fact it is just an attempt to delay time.

If Fumihiko Ikari can still maintain the advantage before accumulating enough strength, then there is naturally nothing to say. They will abide by the agreement and continue the cooperation. If the NERV Council reverses the situation during this period and Fumihiko Ikari is at a disadvantage, they will decisively defect and return to the NERV Council.

France also has the same clause, and it is obvious that the three countries have formed a secret alliance, but... France's cooperation proposal has another requirement compared to the other two countries.

They believe that the future of mankind lies in leaving the Earth, and hope to use the Three Sages System to focus on this direction in the future.

This sentence made Ikari Fumihiko laugh.

The saying that the future of mankind lies in leaving the earth sounds better than singing, but the reality is that the French management wants to escape from the earth.

Although it felt funny, Fumihiko Ikari could understand the mentality of these escapists.

The earth is indeed in too much chaos now and is always on the brink of collapse. If there is a chance to escape, he will make the same choice as these people.

"Tell them to wait for my news."

【Replied.】

Fumihiko Ikari closed the message page.

Using system permissions, he transferred himself to the underground base laboratory.

"The problem of Longinus Metal cannot be solved for the time being. So let's not solve it for now. Let's get a batch of parallel imports to deal with it first."

Fumihiko Ikari retrieved the backup machine information from the database.

Now the backup aircraft is still floating in outer space, and the companion monitoring satellite has not yet been in place. Under the current circumstances, the NERV Parliament will no longer help to replenish the satellite. Of course, these are not the point. What he has to do now is to modify the backup aircraft and make it into a mass-produced aircraft without Longinus metal as in the original book.

This kind of mass-produced machine is not difficult to make. It is just modified by the Three Sages and the modified brains of the Three Sages are used to control EVA's actions.

However, such an organism needs to solve some problems.

First, there is the issue of electricity.

The backup aircraft has solar wings... er, well, solar panels, a configuration that wouldn't work on Earth.

At this moment he thought of the nuclear reactor that Nerv had taken out earlier.

Mass-produced machines do not require a driver and cannot be actually controlled. Only a virtual driving system can be used, so there is no need to consider safety issues.

However, contamination and stability are also issues.

He first entered the keyword "nuclear reactor" into the lepton network and searched for it. He confirmed that the nuclear reactor technology was a device developed by NERV using the Three Sages System. He then knew that there must be a backup of relevant technical data on the lepton network. In other words, as long as Britain, France and Germany could solve the material problem, they could copy the nuclear reactor.

"The nuclear reactor is too dangerous, so let's make two versions."

Looking at the EVA body that looked like an orc without any restraints to control its shape, he fell into deep thought.

If you want to make EVA without Longinus metal, you can only use an external battery. Although this can improve the battery life of EVA, the problems are also obvious.

External batteries can be easily destroyed in combat.

Uh... why do I feel like it's more cost-effective to have a nuclear reactor?

No!

This is an EVA, not a suicide weapon.

Uh……

Self-destructing weapon...

In fact, if you look at the problem from another angle, this beast-form automatic EVA is actually a biological tank with high mobility.

In fact, the long-range attack capability can be enhanced through weapons and equipment to compensate for the problems of the external battery matrix.

In addition, this beast-type EVA is cheap and easier to mass-produce than the second-generation machine. At the very least, it saves the maintenance cost of the restraint device. Moreover, it is controlled by the Three Sages System and can use formation to fight coordinated battles. As long as you don't encounter the apostles with perpetual motion machines in the original work, you can fight. No... even those weak and lower-level apostles in the original work, the beast-type EVA can also fight.

Pity……

The apostle who attacked earlier blew himself up. Although that apostle did not have a complete S2 mechanism, he also had a semi-finished S2 mechanism. If it could be studied, perhaps the power problem could be solved.

The second one is the most common problem with EVA.

How to drive.

This model of EVA can only be controlled using the virtual driving system, so if you want to exert enough power, you can let Ritsuko Akagi or him control it.

He would definitely not do such a thing. Ritsuko Akagi is just an ordinary human being and can only control one at most.

Providing this kind of defective product to Britain, France and Germany... No! It's fine if it's a special EVA, but it's too unfair if it can't be started at any time.

However, he also has some ideas in this regard.
