I participated in the development of EVA

684. You have done a great job on this point.

Everyone's expressions became serious.

Fumihiko Ikari continued to throw dirty water.

[The reason why the top management of Seele abandoned the Second Apostle and the Research Institute was because they believed that the Second Apostle's power was not enough to trigger the Third Impact that destroyed all mankind like the First Apostle. They brought you into the game to establish NERV because they wanted to use you to contain me... Well, you have been doing very well in this regard.]

【…】

Everyone fell silent.

Before everyone could come to their senses and say anything, Fumihiko Ikari spoke again.

[When you faced me, you adopted various checks and balances just because you were suspicious of me. You were always thinking about how to restrict me. How come... Now that I have revealed that the top leaders of Seele want to trigger the Third Impact and destroy the world, you are silent? You do nothing? It seems that you are Seele——]

Xia Guo broke the silence.

[It's not that we did nothing. We have been investigating the Seele Council from the beginning. It's just that they hid it too well.]

Ikari Fumihiko retorted.

[It's not that they hid it too well, it's that someone is covering for them. ]

Xia Guo still looked normal.

[We cannot rule out this possibility. It is possible that the top leaders of Seele are hiding among us.]

After a pause, he added.

[The only thing we can be sure of now is that Xiaguo and Seele do not have any form of connection.]

The rest of the countries also followed suit, saying they had nothing to do with Seele.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

[Whether you believe it or not, I will just repeat it again. What the top management of Seele has been planning all along is to find a way to trigger the third impact... For those who have cooperated with Seele, I only have one thing to say to you: weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival. Arrogance is the right way.

Oh, no...

This sentence is not appropriate.

It is ignorance that gives you the illusion that you can use Seele. 】

No one spoke.

Ikari Fumihiko is throwing dirty water on Seele, and Seele is also throwing dirty water on Ikari Fumihiko, saying that Ikari Fumihiko wants to trigger the third impact through the artificial god plan.

Countries simply don’t know who to believe and dare not make rash decisions. After all, this concerns the fate of all mankind.

However, it is precisely this that has led many people to join France's Mars colonization plan.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and there was no point in continuing, so Fumihiko Ikari shifted the topic to the current incident.

[Next, NERV's main research direction will be the underwater combat system for behemoths and EVAs, is that ok? ]

There was no disagreement on this point and it was passed unanimously.

Destroying the apostles is the meaning of nerv's existence.

Just like when the NERV Council approved the proposal even though they knew that once the artificial god project started, it would become the current situation where the artificial god would become Ikari Fumihiko's private army. The situation is the same now. The successful development of the EVA dedicated underwater combat system is undoubtedly working for Ikari Fumihiko, but they still agreed.

Although they have different ideas due to their own interests, they share the same goal of destroying the apostles.

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko wanted to adjourn the meeting, Xia Guo proposed a plan.

[We don't have to use EVA in the current situation. We can set up bait and attack the underwater enemies. ]

Although Xia Guo did not explain in detail, everyone realized what Xia Guo wanted to do.

To put it simply, it is to deploy torpedoes in the form of ships.

This is an attack on the apostles, but also a test of NERV.

Although the trap was triggered, it cannot be ruled out that the attack of the Apostles was a human-planned event, but the trap was not triggered, there may be human factors involved. The reason why we cannot be 100% sure that there are human factors is naturally because humans know very little about the Apostles nowadays, and we cannot rule out that the Apostles sensed the crisis, or there were other reasons that did not trigger the trap.

No one spoke, but just voted in silence.

The reason they didn't speak up to point out the problem was not because they couldn't see the problem with this plan, but because they were worried that if they spoke up, Fumihiko Ikari would label them as protectors of Seele.

Xia Guo spoke again.

[Chairman Ikari, the apostle has appeared again, please unlock the right to use the nerv dream. ]

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it and agreed.

【Can. 】

As he unlocked the access to the nerv-only dream realm.

Meetings also moved from the Internet to dreams.

Everyone was sitting in the parliament hall, and the big screen was connected to the Nerv combat command center of Goose Country.

The reason why it is not Xia Kingdom.

Because at this stage, Xia State does not have any cargo ships that meet the standards.

The Goose Country Combat Command revised this strategy.

Not just one cargo ship was arranged to be loaded with a large amount of N2 explosives, but three in total!

In addition, evacuation work is also underway.

If such a large amount of N2 explosives were detonated in the ocean, countries in the nearby waters would suffer tsunami disasters to varying degrees.

Fortunately, the marine disaster during the second impact left a psychological trauma on mankind. Now the coasts of various countries are in an abandoned state, so the only people who need to be evacuated are port workers in nearby countries.

All personnel have been evacuated.

The three ships slowly left the port of Goose Country and made a big circle before heading to Japan.

Everything went just as planned.

When the bait arrived at the intended attack location, it was attacked.

Upon impact, the N2 explosives exploded immediately——

boom! ! !

The terrorist explosion caused a huge storm, and the aftermath even shook Japan, which was closest to it.

Because it was in the deep sea, the equivalent this time can only be described as insane.

As the satellite signal was restored, the picture reappeared.

All they saw was the sea water turning redder and a lot of water vapor.

"Should I die like this?"

"It shouldn't be that easy to kill with the AT force field."

"Send out the naval forces to search."

"Escape?"

Everyone was talking at once, but it did not affect the combat command center.

The Goose Country Combat Command dispatched naval forces.

The nearby naval forces of various countries also gathered there and joined the search team.

The first to provide useful feedback was not the naval forces, but the drones of the Skynet system.

【Apostle wreckage was found on the coast of Japan.】

The three wise men’s brain broadcasts simultaneously display the live images on the big screen.

The broken carcass, which resembled a whale, was washed ashore on the coast of Japan by the tsunami.

【Traces of technological transformation detected. 】

Some enlarged photos appeared on the big screen, from which everyone saw the restraints and the insertion plug system.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised by this.

He originally thought that Seele had sent out an artificial apostle this time, but he didn't expect it to be a fish angel model EVA.

It was a bit unexpected, but not surprising.

The cells of Adam and Lilith can both be made into EVA, and the cells of fish angels can naturally be made into EVA as well. However, Adam and Lilith have forms close to those of humans, so they can be made into human forms, while the forms of fish angels have nothing to do with human forms, so the EVA they produce can only be in the shape of fish.

"This is not an apostle, it's... Eva."

I don't know who broke the silence.

Everyone came to their senses then, and their first reaction when they saw this new type of fish EVA was that this was indeed a man-made apostle incident.

The second reaction was that all of this was directed and acted by Fumihiko Ikari himself.

The third reaction was that Seele dominated this incident.

The reason why people suspected Ikari Fumihiko first was naturally because Ikari Fumihiko was too powerful now and he was the person most capable of doing these things, which made people subconsciously suspect Ikari Fumihiko first.

685. Historical issues

"Eva in this form... is so weak."

"It's not that we are weak, it's that the pilot is incompetent. He failed to realize the danger and failed to deploy the AT force field in the first place."

"It's not that we didn't deploy the AT force field immediately. It's possible that the synchronization rate hasn't reached that level yet."

"Compared to these, I am more curious about whether this EVA is made from the New Apostle gene template or using gene editing technology."

"It should be the former. Current technology is not yet capable of editing the Apostle's genes."

Just as everyone was discussing, a huge shadow appeared on the big screen because the water near the coast was too shallow.

"It's another Eva."

The fish-shaped Eva rushed to the body of Eva, opened its ferocious mouth under the gaze of everyone, bit the body tightly, then dragged it into the water and disappeared.

Although everyone wanted to stop it, the incident happened suddenly...

wrong!

It's due to lack of preparation.

No one expected that just a tentative ambush would kill the target directly, and the apostle was also blown to the coastline of Japan by the explosion.

Although the second fish-shaped EVA took away the remains of the fish-shaped EVA's body, there were still a lot of remains left on the coast.

At this time, the three sages' brains broadcast another prompt.

[Special audio detected, suspected to be enemy communication. 】

Ikari Fumihiko ignored all this for the time being.

"Collect the cellular debris."

Just as the drone was about to collect the remaining flesh and blood on the coast, an even larger shadow appeared from another direction and swallowed the land and wreckage into its stomach.

Ikari Fumihiko remained indifferent.

Because a lot of corpses and debris were washed up on the coast, and this fish-shaped EVA could not land on the ground and had no ability to launch long-range attacks.

The current action is at most to recycle as much Longinus Metal as possible, but it cannot prevent the leakage of DNA information.

The drone had just collected some flesh and blood when it received news from the combat command.

"The remains of an unknown creature were salvaged. There are signs of artificial modification. It is suspected to be the remains of an unknown model of EVA."

At the same time, the third fish-shaped EVA also dived back into the water and prepared to leave.

However, when the second fish-shaped EVA appeared, Fumihiko Ikari did not react, but when the third fish-shaped EVA appeared, he reacted.

After calculation, the three wise men launched a missile attack on the third fish-shaped Eva.

[Special audio detected, suspected to be the enemy's wailing. 】

As the prompt sounded, blood appeared at the location of the missile attack. It was obvious that the missile just now injured the third fish-shaped EVA.

When the second missile attack arrived at the scene, it did not hit the fish-shaped EVA like the first batch of missiles did.

【The target has escaped. 】
