I participated in the development of EVA

Most of the samples collected by the previous combat command are here, and only a small part is distributed to research institutes in the United States and Xia.

The first research conducted by the Goose Country Research Institute was gene comparison.

Through comparison, it was determined that the genes used by the fish-type EVA are not those of the first and second angels, which basically rules out the possibility of gene editing.

What surprised Ikari Fumihiko was that...

The similarity between the fish-type eva gene and the first apostle is not great, basically the same as the first apostle and the second apostle gene similarity, just like the difference between mammals. In other words, from a biological perspective, these data probably mean that the fish-type eva and the first and second apostles all belong to the same phylum chordata.

If we want to further subdivide them, we can do so, but humans today cannot be sure whether the apostles are mammals or not.

So to speak...

The structure of the apostles is similar to that of mammals, but these organs are just decorations.

Say no...

The apostles have an organ structure similar to that of mammals.

Some scholars also want to study this aspect, but the apostles do not have such organs, and they cannot perform a birth to determine whether they are in the class of mammals. In fact, in this case, they can be forced into the class of apostles and then further subdivided. However, although this aspect of research is unpopular, there are differences of opinion. Some scholars do not agree with this hasty plan, which causes the classification to be stuck at the phylum Chordata and cannot proceed.

In addition to the genetic control study, the biggest discovery is that the density of the restraints used in the fish-type EVA is higher than that of the conventional EVA.

Conventional EVA restraints are mainly concentrated on the cervical spine, but this piece of debris is not in the cervical spine area, but the number of restraints is as dense as that of conventional EVA in the cervical spine area.

Through this discovery, some scholars believe that the reason why the fish-shaped EVA is weak is not only because the pilot is not capable enough, but also because there are too many restraints installed on the EVA's body. The restraints not only limit EVA's consciousness, but also limit the strength that EVA can exert. Of course, some scholars disagree with this view and think that they just happened to salvage an area with dense restraints.

Fumihiko Ikari is more in favor of the former.

The fish-type EVA is different from other EVAs. Other EVAs use the first and second angels, and one of them self-destructed, and the other was sealed. Therefore, the factor of the apostle's consciousness does not need to be considered in its construction. The body used by the fish-type EVA comes from the unrestricted fish angel.

For this reason, Seele installed so many restraints to cut off the connection between the body and the main body.

Thinking of this, he called up the sample cultivation device and took a look.

Originally, he wanted to use the Three Sages' version of the fish-shaped EVA to deal with Seele, but now that he knew this information, he felt that this plan might fail.

He doesn't have that much Longinus Metal to mass-produce fish-shaped EVAs like Seele does.

But everything has its pros and cons.

The fish-shaped EVA has too many restraint devices installed on it, which limits its strength. Even without underwater combat equipment, it can be destroyed by just using missiles.

The only problem now is how to find these fish-shaped EVAs in the vast ocean.

at the same time……

The members of the NERV Parliament also received the news that the transport plane was destroyed, which made them believe Fumihiko Ikari's previous statement.

The third apostle who appeared earlier might be an artificially created apostle, and it also made them believe that it was Seele who was behind this incident.

The reason is simple. From what they have monitored, it is impossible for Fumihiko Ikari to have so much Longinus metal in his hands.

However, this is not enough to prove that Seele wants to trigger the third impact and destroy humanity as Fumihiko Ikari said.

Despite this, at this moment they still tended to favor Fumihiko Ikari.

The reason is also simple.

Ikari Fumihiko is still under their surveillance, and if Ikari Fumihiko wants to use the power of artificial gods to do something, they can counter it by destroying the virtual game equipment. Relatively speaking, they lack surveillance on Seele, and they also lack countermeasures against Seele lurking in the dark.

689. Will He refuse?

Nuclear material, fish-shaped EVA, artificial apostles.

These made the NERV Council feel threatened by Seele.

What they want is checks and balances, not a second Fumihiko Ikari.

With the full cooperation of various countries, the research on underwater equipment has progressed rapidly, and the search for Seele has been launched.

then……

Ikari Gendo, who had sneaked into the United States, was arrested.

In addition, some other SEELE members were also arrested, but these people, like Ikari Gendō, were SEELE's abandoned pawns and did not provide any useful information.

[The United States has sent you an email asking you whether you want to repatriate Ikari Gendō.]

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

"No, let them handle it."

【Yes. 】

Under the current situation, Ikari Gendō has become a discarded pawn of Seele, and it doesn't matter what happens to him anymore.

Nerv was busy capturing Seele, but Japan, which was at the center of the incident, became quiet after becoming an "isolated island".

This calm lasted for two months.

Two months later.

The first batch of fish-shaped EVA bodies have been cultivated.

After testing, the previous views were confirmed.

There is a certain connection between the cultivated body and the fish angel, because although the brain can be transformed into the structure of the Three Sages, the body is not controlled by the Three Sages system. Of course, being uncontrolled does not mean anything. After all, the human-shaped EVA and the fish-shaped EVA are different in body structure.

What really made him certain that there was a connection between the fish-shaped body and the fish angel was...

The Three Sages System received the call from the Fish Angel.

wrong!

To be more precise, it was the body that received the call of the fish angel, and the Three Sages System simply interpreted this message.

The fish-shaped body went berserk after being activated, not to destroy for the sake of destruction, but because the fish angel ordered the body to do so.

This gave him an idea.

What are the instructions given by the fish angel to the body?

Is it a summons?

Or destruction?

If it is the former, he can find the fish angel through the body.

The latter is nothing.

It is not complicated to verify this idea. Just throw the body into the ocean and you will get the answer.

Now that he had this idea, he naturally wanted to verify it.

If successful, even if the S2 mechanism cannot be obtained, the fish angel can be nipped in the bud.

After hunting down the Fish Angel, although it may help the enemy and reduce the cost of Seele to make fish-type EVA, his overall advantage will be greater.

If Seele wants to make a fish-shaped EVA, he needs to invest in Longinus metal and a pilot.

What about him?

Just modify the body.

The transportation this time was not as complicated as the last time when Unit 00 went to an overseas island for experiments. Two giant beasts carried the fish-shaped body to the seaside in the middle of the night, and then kicked it into the ocean.

Although the fish-shaped body is a clone of the fish angel, it does not have a device similar to the S2 mechanism to provide energy.

Therefore, if you want to make it move, there are only two options.

One is naturally to provide electrical energy to the fish-shaped body through the umbilical cord power supply line.

The other is to refuel like a car. Of course, the oil added to the body is not gasoline, but LCL.

The giant beast roughly stretched open the mouth of the fish-shaped body and stuffed the LCL delivery pipe into it. As more LCL liquid was poured in, the fish-shaped body was successfully activated.

The activated fish-shaped body attacked the giant beast immediately.

Caught off guard, the giant beast had its right arm bitten off.

After devouring the giant beast's right arm, the fish-shaped body did not prepare to leave, but rushed out of the water and launched a second attack on the giant beast.

Under the control of the three sages' brains, the giant beast reacted quickly, dodged the attack and kicked it back into the water. Then the giant beast returned to land. The fish-shaped body could not move on land, so it wandered in the ocean for a while before reluctantly giving up the attack and diving into the sea and disappearing.

Just when Fumihiko Ikari wanted to calculate how long the energy in the fish-shaped body could support its activities, he found that the fish-shaped body was rushing around in the water.

"What is He doing?"

【According to the feedback data analysis, He is using external objects to destroy the core.】

"suicide?"

【Yes. 】

The plan failed, and Fumihiko Ikari immediately changed his strategy.

"Use the fish-shaped body to search, seele communication."

[The fish-shaped body rejected the three sages' orders.]

"Then activate the self-destruct device."

【Yes. 】

After a short countdown, the small N2 bomb arranged in the core accessory of the fish-shaped body was detonated.

【The body is dead.】

"Arrange a giant beast to go over and retrieve the corpse."

【Yes. 】

In fact, Fumihiko Ikari did not need to activate the self-destruct device. He just needed to wait for the fish-shaped body to consume the energy stored in its body. However, that would make too much noise and easily attract attention. Besides, the loss of a fish-shaped body was not a big deal to him because the second batch of bodies could be cultivated quickly.

"If we want to create a fish-shaped EVA, do we have to use a large number of restraint devices like Seele to cut off the connection between the body and the fish angel?"

This time, the Three Sages' Brains did not answer Ikari Fumihiko's question because He could not give an answer.

Two days later, the second batch of cells had been cultivated, but Fumihiko Ikari still had no idea.

[Nerv delivered the first apostle sample. ]

Seele's blockade of Japan was only for supplies and did not restrict population movement, so NERV was the first apostle cell sample transported by civil aviation aircraft.

Hearing these words from the Three Wise Men's Brains, Fumihiko Ikari, who was frowning, suddenly brightened up.

Others don't know, but he knows clearly...

Except for humans and Lilith, all other apostles on earth are descendants of Adam.

The fish angel would reject his own brain, would He reject Adam! ? ?

Simply put, it is to use Adam's cells to create biological monsters and transplant them into the fish-shaped body, and use Adam's cells to disguise the three sages as Adam.

Thinking of this, another idea flashed through his mind.

Before that, we should try to transplant a biological brain cultivated with Lilith cells into the fish-shaped body. If the fish-shaped body can be controlled, it means that what is sealed underground is only Lilith's body, and her soul and consciousness are not in it. Because the fish angel is not the offspring of Lilith, it is impossible for them to listen to Lilith. Therefore, if the fish-shaped body is controlled by Lilith's biological body, it means that Lilith has taken action.

and……

The consciousness born from the brains of the three sages is Lilith.

Because he could think of the only reason why Lilith gave up Seele and chose to help him was that Lilith was fooled by his lofty ambition to reverse entropy.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this kind of temptation itself had major flaws and would most likely not have any effect.

After all, Lilith also knew that the fish angel was the descendant of Adam.

And even if Lilith really wanted to help, she might not be able to cut off the connection between the elemental body and the main body.

20:28:42

690. Experiment

After giving the order to the Three Sages System, while waiting for preparations, Fumihiko Ikari walked out of the villa in his dream.

Teleport to the third New Tokyo city in the dream mirror.

Although the world seems to be thriving on the surface, it has not yet recovered from the second shock.

Still full of holes.
