I participated in the development of EVA

All industries were in tatters, just like the number of ocean-going freighters. The only 400 or so that survived the Second Impact were patched together afterwards. It was not that there was no shortage of ships, but that the focus was previously on apostle research, and the lack of energy and supporting industrial systems led to the inability to restart the shipbuilding industry.

This is true not just for the shipbuilding industry, but for any industry that is dependent on the industrial system.

In the past, under the pressure from the Apostles and the anxiety they created for self-preservation, the world was running wildly in the research of Apostles in a deformed manner. It was not until the Apostles led by Seele reappeared that the former Nerv Council could no longer hold back and wanted to seize the artificial gods but failed. He was forced to take the position of Speaker and began to correct this deformed development model.

Adjust the use of the Three Sages System from fighting against the apostles to reviving civilization.

It's not about how well he did or how badly the pre-nerv meeting went.

But the perspective is different.

The former NERV parliament did not know what the apostles looked like, how powerful they were, how many there were, and whether every one of them could cause an impact like the first apostle. Naturally, they would be anxious and put all their energy and resources into fighting against the apostles.

Just like what Fumihiko Ikari said before, the pre-NERV parliament period.

Humanity has no choice.

The reappearance of the apostles led by Seele Apostle shows that the apostles are not as powerful as imagined, and the artificial god plan is close to completion.

This changed the direction of the wind.

To change the trajectory of the world's progress, that is why he can invest the Three Sages System in the revival of civilization.

otherwise……

No matter how powerful the power he possesses, he will inevitably arouse opposition from everyone.

In fact, the reason is very simple. To outsiders, with only EVA and no artificial gods, humans do not have enough power to fight against the apostles and prevent the next impact. At this moment, if they concentrate their resources and energy on the revival of civilization, the result will be that the rebuilt human civilization will completely perish in the next impact.

'The world has become a completely different place.'

As he was expressing his feelings, the voices of the three wise men's brains rang in his ears.

【The preparations have been completed and the experiment can begin. 】

The three wise men first reported on the progress of their work and then spoke again.

【What are you thinking about? 】

Ikari Fumihiko turned his gaze away from the surroundings.

"Nothing, just came out to get some fresh air."

Let’s take a look at the scene of the real Third New Tokyo City in the dream. Fumihiko Ikari initially just wanted to take a breath.

Although he had no sense of reality after being in the dream for a long time, he still had a feeling of being imprisoned, just like when he was working illegally for Seele when he first traveled through time.

But now I have a new idea.

"Let's eliminate this mirror image of the Third New Tokyo City and turn it into a city-sized academy."

[Do you want to transfer dream education to this dream? ]

"Well, this dream will be called Academy City from now on."

【Yes. 】

There was no particular meaning in him doing this, he just wanted to make this dream cage that imprisoned him a little more lively.

When you are bored, you can have a place to relax.

As for why not play games?

His game ID has long been known to various countries, and once he goes online, it will be speculated that he has left the artificial god.

This will make some people eager to do something.

As for why countries can infer these.

There are two reasons. First, all countries know that once the brains of the Three Sages of the Type 02 prototype are directly connected to the virtual game dream, the enormous mental power in them will be injected into the body, causing the Type 02 prototype to irreversibly transform into an artificial god. Such a movement cannot be concealed from other countries at all.

The second is that there is a difference between manual operation and AI control.

Ok……

The main reason is that the Three Sages System cannot imitate his rookie-like operation vividly.

Fumihiko Ikari is not the kind of madman who would launch nuclear weapons just because he feels the weather is a little hot, and create a nuclear winter to cool off.

In this matter, we will naturally not use such red line issues to test the bottom line of other countries.

Because in that situation, the first reaction of various countries would definitely not be that he wanted to play games and connected the Type 02 prototype to the virtual game dream, but that they would suspect that he wanted to use the power of artificial gods to accomplish something. At that time, various countries would most likely blow up the global virtual game center without hesitation.

Artificial gods in this era are like nuclear weapons in the old era.

It can only be activated at a critical moment of life and death.

Collecting his scattered thoughts, Fumihiko Ikari returned to the research institute through teleportation.

A fish-shaped body with Lilith's biological brain replaced was lying quietly in the culture device. The reason why it was so quiet was that the Three Sages System lowered the viscosity of the LCL liquid, causing the fish-shaped body to fall into a deep sleep due to lack of energy. Humans have always used this method to "anesthetize" the body.

The transplantation method is not biological connection, but the use of connecting wires to build a connection channel between the biological brain and the body.

The advantage of doing this is that it can reduce the rejection reaction.

The downside is that you need to use some Longinus Metal, otherwise the circuit will be expelled from the body by the body's self-healing ability.

"Inject concentrated LCL into the subject."

【The valve is open. 】

The concentrated LCL liquid is transported into the fish-shaped body through the hose inserted into the mouth.

The amount of energy delivered was strictly controlled, and it could only ensure that the fish-shaped body could move for thirty seconds after waking up, and then it would fall asleep again due to exhaustion of energy. Thirty seconds might seem like a short time, but it was enough to verify the theory. Of course, the most important thing was that if the fish-shaped body moved for more than thirty seconds, it would break out of containment, and then fall from the sky and hit the ground to be eaten by the giant beasts waiting below, making a mess of blood and making it a bit troublesome to clean up.

While the giant beast is waking up from its slumber.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but ask the three wise men a question.

"Will it work this time?"

[Insufficient data to make predictions for this experiment.]

As the three sages finished speaking, the fish-shaped body woke up from its slumber.

Without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to give any instructions, the fish-shaped body began to struggle frantically, constantly hitting the cultivation device with its head, as if it wanted to smash its own head.

He tried to enter a command.

【Stop.】

The fish-shaped body froze for a moment, then began to ram the metal wall of the breeding device frantically again.

The result of this experiment was obviously a failure.

20:28:54

691. Lilith

Now, the only thing we can do about the fish-shaped body is to kill it and wait for its energy to be exhausted.

Therefore, Fumihiko Ikari took this time to think about it.

Was the reason for the failure of this experiment because Lilith didn't take the bait, or because Lilith was unwilling to help him, or because Lilith's power was not enough to cut off the connection between the body and the original body! ?

Every guess is possible.

Among them, the speculation that Lilith is insufficient in power is the most special.

The reason why he has always believed that Lilith is the weakest apostle other than humans is because the original work clearly stated that Lilith does not have the S2 mechanism.

But no matter how powerful the apostles are, they still have to abide by the law of conservation of energy.

The same is true for the S2 mechanism, which is known as the perpetual motion machine.

Because the perpetual motion machine of the s2 mechanism seems beautiful, in fact, to put it bluntly, the s2 mechanism only transfers the energy consumption to the higher-dimensional space, or it can be said that the s2 mechanism extracts energy from the higher-dimensional space. The unformed s2 mechanism is just not efficient enough to achieve a perpetual motion cycle, and can still obtain energy for its own evolution from the higher-dimensional space.

Then the problem is coming!

Lilith doesn't have the S2 mechanism, so how does she obtain energy?

And if Lilith was sealed from the moment she arrived on Earth, where did humans come from! ?

The answer is simple.

Lilith had no way to obtain energy. After creating humans and creatures on Earth, she took the initiative to use the power of the Spear of Longinus to seal herself in order to reduce her own energy loss.

This is how we endured the long wait of more than four billion years.

Even with the help of the Spear of Longinus, four billion years, and the creation of Earth's creatures to seek the birth of creatures like humans as an opportunity to break the deadlock, Lilith is now almost at the end of her rope. That's why Lilith did not take over the control of Unit-2 created by her own half when the third Angel appeared, and obtain the S mechanism to complete herself.

Nor will they allow themselves to be manipulated by humans until the last minute before taking action.

As for whether this is Lilith’s cunning plan?

What are you planning?

Seele seems to have arranged all of this for the Human Completion Ritual, but it still has to wait until Unit-2, which is equivalent to Lilith's clone, has the S2 mechanism before it can be activated. So no matter how you look at it, not obtaining the S mechanism from the third angel is a choice that has no benefit to Lilith at all, but will only increase the risk for no reason.

It was not until the Angel of Power appeared and Shinji Ikari was in a dead end that Lilith had the opportunity to suppress Ikari Yui's soul, gain control of Unit-2, and obtain the S mechanism.

How powerful could an apostle who couldn't even suppress the consciousness of an ordinary human like Ikari Yui be! ?

If Lilith appeared in the original work as a hostile apostle, it would definitely refresh human beings' understanding of apostles.

How could an apostle be so weak...

She couldn't even withstand a slap from Eva.

This description is not an exaggeration at all.

Lilith was already running out of energy, and was used by humans as an LCL production machine. Later, half of her body was cut off, and the remaining energy was split in two. Fumihiko Ikari even suspected that the reason why Lilith allowed humans to cut off her lower body to create Unit-01 was that she wanted to use human technology to replenish some energy.

Allowing humans to create Rei Ayanami was also to prepare a body to preserve the soul after the energy was exhausted and the original body died.

【The energy of the fish-shaped body is exhausted. 】

The prompt from the Three Sages System made Fumihiko Ikari put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"Take out the biological brain and take the remaining body to the slaughterhouse to be made into LCL."

【Yes. 】

The brains of the three sages are not single-threaded and can only process one thing at a time, so Fumihiko Ikari issued another instruction.

"Well, get ready for the First Apostle's biological brain experiment."

【Yes. 】

I logged into my game account through the computer project team’s computer.

Using the mouse and keyboard, he spent an hour updating the equipment of his account. This kind of thing can actually be solved by writing a piece of code in the script, but adjusting and updating the game account equipment by himself is his only pleasure now, otherwise he can only watch the footsteps across the screen to kill monsters.

If he does that, what else is he playing?

I controlled the game character and wandered around the main city for a while, but I met an acquaintance.

Ritsuko Akagi is sitting in a shop selling props.

Ritsuko Akagi didn't care when she saw Fumihiko Ikari's game character appear. She knew that Fumihiko Ikari used scripts to maintain his account level and she had encountered this many times in the town.

It wasn't until the game character started talking that she realized what she was experiencing was not a script.

"Why are you playing games?"

In response to Ikari Fumihiko's question, Akagi Ritsuko got excited for a moment, then calmed down.

He pointed at the salesperson next to him and said something.

"I came here to test the data."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

"Does the intelligent program of the Three Sages System need to be tested?"

"The system's real-time control of a large number of devices would take up a lot of computing power, so I wrote a set of auxiliary intelligent programs."

Hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari reacted.

Ritsuko Akagi's real intention in studying this auxiliary intelligent program was not to reduce the computing power it occupies, but to achieve results and prove herself to Naoko Akagi.

"How is the research on robots going?"

“There are still some issues that need to be resolved.”

"what is the problem?"
