I participated in the development of EVA

Xia Guo added.

“Victory in the Cold War was a fluke, not an inevitability.”

The meaning of this sentence is obvious.

It is to let the United States stop dreaming that it can win the second Cold War just because it won the first one.

As if that wasn't enough, he added another sentence.

"Human civilization today can no longer withstand the turmoil."

"..."

The unwilling words of the US interim representative were stuck in his throat.

It turned into a question.

"So what should we do? Surrender our sovereignty? Become puppets crawling at his feet? Let our people become the oil that hit pre-Iraqi?"

"..."

"..."

The Xia Kingdom and the Goose Kingdom fell silent at the same time.

It was a long time before Xia Guo spoke.

“We…”

Xia Guo was interrupted by Mei Guo as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You guys still want to use the Three Sages System to break the blockade of the Three Sages System? Stop talking nonsense. It's better to surrender directly! At least you can avoid being targeted."

Xia Guo shook his head.

"You do not understand."

"What don't I understand? What we can't do, can you do it?"

"For us, the current situation is no different from the past. We are also working together to catch up with the whole country."

The Goose Country, which had been silent, spoke up at this moment.

The voice this time was different from before, obviously it was a different person.

"We have decided to agree to Ikari Fumihiko's proposal."

After saying this, he added another sentence.

"Humanity can no longer bear the torment."

Xia and the United States were not surprised by what happened in Goose Country. Goose Country had not yet recovered from the blow of disintegration, and it experienced a second shock. Although its ambition was rekindled at first, it was just a breath of air. Now the re-emergence of the Cold War has dispersed this breath, and now Goose Country has given up struggling.

Now two of the three parties have expressed their stance, leaving only the United States.

The U.S. Supreme Council was arguing about this at the moment, but soon made a choice.

As the victor of the Cold War, the United States made a different choice.

"We accept the conditions and retain the right to use nuclear bombs."

It is obvious that they are unwilling to give in and want to use the nuclear bomb as their last trump card.

"If he does something to betray humanity, we will activate the nuclear bomb and put history back on track. As long as we are here, humanity will not lose its free will."

The Xia Kingdom and the E Kingdom just smiled and did not comment on it.

Are nuclear bombs scary?

terrible!

A sufficient number of them could destroy human civilization.

But can such power really pose a threat to the artificial gods? After the nuclear bomb is detonated, it will be humans, not Ikari Fumihiko, who will suffer the consequences.

Xia Guo took a deep breath and then spoke.

"One wrong step, all wrong."

The Goose Country and the United States did not speak.

The best way to deal with this matter is to keep it cool, at least to ensure that the situation will not escalate again.

because……

Further upgrades will mean the extinction of humanity.

The meeting should have ended, but Goose Country brought up another topic.

"Is Seele really behind this?"

The United States asked back.

"Do you think this was planned by Ikari Fumihiko? Were we all tricked by Ikari Fumihiko?"

The Xia Kingdom poured a bucket of cold water on the United States.

"Whether the truth behind this matter is that Seele planned all this as Fumihiko Ikari said, or Fumihiko Ikari directed and acted it himself, or the real apostle appeared again... Now none of this is important. The most important thing is to cool down the situation... Humanity can no longer withstand the tossing, and we can no longer take risky actions."

The meeting fell silent.

But this is not the end. No matter what choice the Three Kingdoms make, they cannot completely allow themselves to be manipulated by Fumihiko Ikari.

The same is true for other countries that have reached cooperation.

20:22:53

665. You guys made me lose all control

"I just started to exert my strength... and you're already throwing?"

Fumihiko Ikari looked at the email in front of him with some surprise.

This is a letter of intent for cooperation from the three major countries of the NERV Parliament.

Delay?

Even if it's not a delaying tactic, it's almost the same.

Not to mention the three major countries, even in those small countries, it is impossible for there to be only one voice within them.

Those who submit letters of intent to cooperate now are the majority, but that may not be the case in the future...Human thinking always changes with the situation. The current generation has a fear of a second shock in their hearts and retains memories of the Cold War. When the next generation becomes the mainstream, their thoughts and ideas will be completely different. You will never be able to fully understand anything unless you experience it personally.

He muttered to himself as the thought flashed through his mind.

“Where is the future of humanity heading?”

He had never thought about this question, nor had he ever thought that one day he would have to think about it, but now he had to think about it.

Because now the future of mankind is in his hands.

No matter what, we have to decide on a general direction for development.

Thinking of this, a line popped into his mind: If the double helix power of human genes continues to evolve endlessly, it will sooner or later break the balance of the universe. For the sake of this world, we humans need to seal ourselves.

Sending all of humanity into a dream world to live is undoubtedly the most worry-free way.

As long as enough solar energy devices are built, every human being can live according to his or her own ideas in his or her dreams.

Of course, he was just thinking this way.

What Makise Kurisu said when they were shopping together was actually not accurate. It is not that people with poor acceptance abilities choose to live in reality, but that people who choose to live in reality are labeled as having poor acceptance abilities.

The dream world is indeed colorful, but some people just like to live in reality.

He doesn't understand what's special about it, but he won't impose his ideas on others.

"Then let's go to the sea of ​​stars!"

Apart from technological issues, the biggest problem facing humans in conquering the vast ocean of stars is that they themselves are too weak.

If civilization really develops to the cosmic level.

Given the vastness of the universe, even if we develop light-speed or ultra-high light-speed technology, it is likely that a normal commute would take at least dozens or hundreds of years, which is the length of a human lifetime. Even with a hibernation device, the time that is lost will still be lost. If no changes are made, humans will not be able to truly leave the earth and move towards the universe. You can't go to outer space to work and come back to find that your wife and children have all died of old age! ?

That is to say...

Compared with aerospace technology, immortality surgery is the key to mankind's move towards interstellar civilization.

Otherwise, human space exploration will not even be able to go beyond the solar system.

After taking a look at the technical data of the immortality surgery, it is still at the stage of artificial organs. Although it can prolong human life, it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

The reason why humans age is that errors accumulate during the replication process of genes.

The telomeres that determine the number of times a cell divides do not exist to limit human lifespan. It's just that when a cell exceeds this limit, the probability of gene replication errors increases greatly. In other words, it is not the depletion of telomeres that causes human death, but continued gene replication will damage normal genes. When the damage accumulates to a certain level, humans will die.

The apostles and EVA can achieve near immortality.

Because the genes are solidified, there will be no errors in the replication process. However, because of this, the apostles themselves have lost their ability to evolve, and need to make up for the defects through reproduction before they can evolve again.

Understand it in a simple way.

There is a genetic lock in the apostle's body that requires external force to unlock.

In other words, artificial organs are just a shortcut, and if humans want to achieve immortality, they must solve the problem of gene replication errors, or have the ability to correct gene errors.

There are many ways to solve the problem, such as mechanical ascension of the weak physical body and uploading of consciousness for eternal soul... Well, these two are essentially the same, both of which abandon the limitations of the physical body and are the subsequent extension direction of artificial organs. There are also ways to maintain the original self as much as possible, such as using nanorobots to assist gene replication to prevent errors, or becoming an apostle.

"Uh... No! Now is not the time to think about that."

The unexpected yet reasonable surrender of the NERV Parliament made Fumihiko Ikari a little overwhelmed. If NERV had struggled a little, he would have only needed to carry out the plan step by step. But now that NERV had surrendered directly and handed the whole world over to him, he didn't know what to do next.

He has always put himself in the position of a worker and has never thought about becoming his own boss.

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi also came back.

"I'm back. Li is resting in your former dormitory."

"Are you in any trouble?"

"No, after I went over, they didn't try to stop me. They just let me take Li away."

The only person with whom Fumihiko Ikari could discuss countermeasures was Ritsuko Akagi.

However, after hesitating for a while, he still did not tell her the current situation, because even if he told her, Ritsuko Akagi would not understand.

"I have asked the Three Sages System to arrange a laboratory for you. Go ahead."

"Ah."

Ritsuko Akagi responded but did not leave.

"Don't you and your mother eat?"

"She doesn't need to eat in the core. My LCL can provide the body with nutrition."

"Lcl can only provide nutrition, but it can't relieve hunger, right?"

If she hadn't said it, Ikari Fumihiko wouldn't have felt it.

With this reminder, the body begins to feel hungry.

"..."

In the current situation, it seems that there is no need for me to remain vigilant. There will be no problem if I relax a little.

I was just about to agree and ask Ritsuko Akagi to send some food over.

Then he realized that Ritsuko Akagi was testing him.

I can leave the cockpit to eat, so why can't Naoko Akagi get out of the core and get some fresh air?

"I can't leave for now, go and get busy."

"Call me if you need me."

"Ah."

Looking at Ritsuko Akagi's back as she left, Fumihiko Ikari saw it.

Maybe someone said something to Ritsuko Akagi, or maybe Ritsuko Akagi had already thought from the beginning that something had happened to Naoko Akagi.

only……

I was afraid of knowing the answer, so I didn't dare to ask directly.
