I participated in the development of EVA

After saying that, he came up with a proposal.

"I am going to launch another backup machine into outer space to form an all-weather protection network."

The backup aircraft is not stationary in outer space, but revolves around the earth in a near-moon orbit like a satellite, and only appears over Japan during the day.

In other words, the strike range of the backup aircraft is only hemisphere.

The reason for this, in addition to avoiding "passive" lunar landing, is that the backup machine needs energy from the sun.

No one spoke, apparently considering the pros and cons of this matter.

Goose Country took the lead in considering it.

"After this incident, Seele should be more cautious in this regard."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't tell whether Goose Country agreed or disagreed, so he spoke up.

"It's okay if you don't send it. I'll find another way to keep the backup plane hovering over Japan."

Upon hearing this, France, which had been slacking off, was the first to become restless.

"The giant beast EVA's armed forces are insufficient. It is difficult to stop an enemy that can use the AT force field with tactics alone. At that time, we must rely on the power of the backup machine."

Germany and the United Kingdom also voted in favor.

The martial virtues of these three kingdoms are not as abundant as those of the three major kingdoms, and their armed forces to fight against the apostles rely entirely on the giant beast EVA.

Goose Country spoke again.

"You misunderstood. I meant it literally. I have no objection to sending a second backup aircraft into outer space."

The three major countries all knew that the backup machines were a by-product of the Artificial God Project. One or two machines were the same to them. They would not be able to cope with it without shutting down the global virtual game servers. Moreover, opposition would not necessarily stop Ikari Fumihiko from completing the plan. Naturally, there was no need to vote against it and make enemies with Ikari Fumihiko.

"Then let the backup aircraft float over Japan for the time being, and then build the second backup aircraft."

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment after he finished speaking, and only spoke again when he saw that no one had any objections.

"I have said what I wanted to say now...it's your turn."

Xia Guo spoke as a representative.

"There are two things we want to discuss. One is the release of the Apostle's information to the public, which we have just discussed. The second is that I want to learn from you about the research status of the fish-shaped EVA."

"The current fish-shaped EVA is actually a variant of the giant beast EVA. In essence, there is no difference between the giant beasts. Well, for the sake of convenience, the fish-shaped one is called the giant fish."

No one paid attention to Fumihiko Ikari's casual naming style.

Both the giant beast and the giant fish are just cannon fodder, and it is just a name for the convenience of distinguishing them.

"Can this giant fish Eva actively search for Seele?"

Fumihiko Ikari knew that the parliament member asked this question not because he really cared about Seele, but was just coveting the large amount of Longinus Metal on the fish-shaped EVA.

"This version won't work. After the meeting, I plan to modify a radar-type giant fish EVA specifically for underwater search and capture of seeles."

Members of parliament do not care about technical issues; they only care about when the results will come out and whether they can get a share of the pie.

"Seele's current behavior is completely a terrorist attack and cannot be tolerated any longer."

What cannot be indulged any longer is using anti-terrorism as a cover to join the hunt for fish-shaped EVA to obtain Longinus Metal.

Since all the countries volunteered, Fumihiko Ikari would naturally not refuse.

Doing so can destroy the cooperative relationship between various countries and Seele. Even if Seele is a high-level official in a certain country, he can only provide intelligence to Seele and can no longer encourage the two sides to continue to cooperate, because the premise of the cooperation between the two sides is that only Seele controls the Longinus Metal. Once the Longinus Metal can be obtained by hunting fish-shaped EVA, the basis for cooperation between the two sides will be gone.

Of course, Seele can give up the established maritime power and continue to hide in human society.

only……

This is equivalent to chronic suicide.

711. How do you wear...

The meeting ended and although the alert level was lowered, it was not completely lifted, so Ritsuko Akagi was still on standby.

Fumihiko Ikari focused his attention on the giant fish-shaped EVA. He first determined the mass production plan of the giant fish-shaped EVA, and then started to manufacture the radar.

The manufacturing plan for radar is not complicated, it can even be said to be simple.

It adopts the same structural framework as the Three Sages System, but it is not the brain that needs to be transformed and connected in series, but the sensory organs.

This special sensory organ, located in the giant fish-shaped Eva's head, acts like a radio station, sending and receiving information.

The carrier of information is not dolphin-like sound waves as initially analyzed.

After creating the giant fish-shaped EVA, he discovered that the sound waves were just an illusion and information was not transmitted through sound waves. As for the specific way it was transmitted, it has not been figured out yet. However, there is no need to study it so clearly now. It is enough to know that the organs of the fish-shaped body can receive this signal.

Initially, he was going to make modifications to the fish-shaped body, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was too complicated, and since Longinus metal had to be used, he changed his strategy.

So they directly connected a set of twenty-four sensory organs to the brain of a living organism.

This is a simple and convenient method, and does not require Longinus metal. The problem is that the device cannot move by itself and the energy consumption is also higher.

Of course, as long as it works well, these are not a problem.

The communication network built by Seele can only be used in the ocean, so if you want to conduct relevant experiments, you can only put the equipment into the ocean.

As soon as the equipment entered the water, it observed the seele communication network in the ocean.

We only received the signal at that time, but could not accurately find the Seele device under the sea, and could only get a rough direction.

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised by this.

I tried adding more sensory organs, but it didn't cause any changes. Even removing some sensory organs had the same effect.

He also has ideas for further optimization.

The structures of living organisms are holistic and mutually complementary. If the sensory organs are not sufficient, then the radar can only be made by using a three-wire system to connect multiple fish-shaped bodies. However, to do so, a large amount of Longinus metal is required to complete it.

This one is a bit crude and has weaker functions, but it is barely enough for searching seele.

The only fish-shaped body carried this simple radar and searched over.

The scarlet ocean obscured the fish-shaped body's vision, and it could only rely on its sensory organs to observe the surrounding environment.

Today's ocean is littered with the remains of all kinds of marine life, and there is no trace of living creatures at all. The once colorful ocean seems to be completely dead.

The more he observed the ocean through the fish-shaped body, the stronger this feeling became in his heart.

Isn't it like...

But today's ocean has really become a dead sea.

At the same time, I also deeply understood the definition of second impact put forward in the new theater version.

Cleaning up the oceans...

He secretly thought about it in his heart.

This so-called purification only applies to the apostles related to Adam.

If the third impact is caused by Adam's power, all creatures on the ground, including humans, will become like the ocean today and face destruction. When you look at the earth from outer space, not only the ocean will be red, but the earth will also be stained red with blood. The entire earth will be covered in blood-red.

Although he thought of that horrific scene, he did not feel anything special about it.

Because human beings are not fish on the apostles' sticky plate.

"How long will you be on standby?"

Ritsuko Akagi's words interrupted his thoughts at that moment.

"Notify the Operations Department to lift the alert. You can go back and rest."

"Ah."

After Akagi Ritsuko responded, she didn't say anything else.

Fumihiko Ikari refocused his attention on searching for Seele, but... not long after, Ritsuko Akagi entered the dream program and appeared behind him.

"What are you doing?"

Ikari Fumihiko, who was completely unprepared, was immediately startled and subconsciously looked back.

Ritsuko Akagi was still wearing her combat uniform, and just a glance at her gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

I took a look at the name tag on my wrist and found that Naoko Akagi's name was engraved on it.

"Why are you wearing Naoko's combat uniform?"

Ritsuko Akagi was obviously flustered for a moment, but then she regained her composure.

"Really? I didn't notice. It must be an emergency situation... I opened the wrong closet."

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak again, she changed the subject.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

After what happened before, Fumihiko Ikari now doesn't know how to be alone with Ritsuko Akagi, for fear that she will do something stupid again.

Only by turning on the facial paralysis mode can you maintain superficial calm.

"I have used fish-shaped body organs to transform a biological radar and am testing its performance."

"Is this the current ocean situation on the screen?"

"Ah."

Ritsuko Akagi stood by and watched the scene on the screen. After a moment, she spoke.

"Is there no living thing in the ocean now?"

"That should be the case... We haven't seen any living creatures since we set out from the coast."

Just as Ritsuko Akagi was about to say something, the direction shown on the radar finally changed.

“It should be around here.”

According to the information fed back by the fish-shaped body's sensory organs, it was at an underwater mountain range.

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi also focused her attention on searching for Seele.

The fish-shaped body continued to move forward following the induction. Not long after it crossed the mountains, the outline of a fish-shaped EVA appeared in its perception. It lay quietly on the seabed, like a sleeping monster. Following it was a submarine and the umbilical power cord connecting the two.

Just when Fumihiko Ikari was wondering why the other party didn't react at all even though he had launched a flying dragon at their face, Ritsuko Akagi was the first to react.

"Quickly cut off the power umbilical cord and don't let the driver return to the EVA!"

Without Ikari Fumihiko repeating the order, the fish-shaped body pounced forward at full speed.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

The umbilical cord power supply line was directly bitten off by the fish-shaped body, and the submarine was also affected and dragged sideways for a distance.

The strong current leaking from the broken power umbilical cord decomposed the seawater, causing a large number of steam bubbles to slightly interfere with the perception of the fish-shaped body.

The fish-shaped EVA still lay quietly on the seabed and did not start.

Seeing this scene, Fumihiko Ikari understood that Ritsuko Akagi had guessed correctly. The previous fish-shaped EVA driver was resting on the submarine. Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised by this, but he felt it was reasonable. EVA drivers are human beings, and as long as they are human beings, they need to rest and adjust their psychological environment. It is impossible for them to stay in a narrow insertion plug on standby all day like a machine.

At the same time, the radar detected that three targets in the nearby sea area changed their positions.

Although the radar cannot sense the specific situation, anyone can guess the change. The three targets that changed their positions must be Seele's support.

"Ritsuko, go get ready."

20:37:31

712. I funded the enemy

Ritsuko Akagi understood immediately.

Fumihiko Ikari wanted to use the fish-shaped body as bait and use the power of the backup machine to eliminate Seele's manpower.

She did not hesitate and exited the dream directly.

Returning to reality is in the core module.

The scent of her mother lingered here, making her reluctant to leave.

She entered the dream not to look for Ikari Fumihiko, but because she thought that Ikari Fumihiko would create a virtual image of her mother in the dream, so she entered the dream to take a look.

The Type 02 prototype was started and the standby machine was activated again.
