I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head and replied with a serious expression.

"How can you say that about your cousin?"

"what???"

"She is my cousin's cousin."

"what???"

This made Asuka even more opposed to becoming Ikari Fumihiko's adopted daughter. It would have been fine if she had an extra father for no reason, but now she also had an extra cousin for no reason.

"No! I don't agree!"

Just when Fumihiko Ikari was about to say something, Asuka spoke again.

"I've already investigated! You've never even met your mother!"

Ikari Fumihiko touched his nose a little embarrassedly.

"Couldn't you have just fallen in love with her after seeing her photo?"

Asuka rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing endlessly, Misato Katsuragi couldn't help but cough dryly.

"Director, can we start the test now?"

Ikari Fumihiko looked at Misato Katsuragi. The current Misato Katsuragi was completely different from the impression he had. She no longer had that youthful aura and looked much more mature, especially her legs wrapped in black stockings, which were the most charming. This was not maturity in terms of body, but a kind of temperament. Just like Akagi Ritsuko, her figure was better than Misato Katsuragi's, but she did not have that kind of mature charm.

"let's start."

Misato Katsuragi felt Fumihiko Ikari's gaze moving downward and felt a little puzzled.

Isn't this quite sexy?

Why hasn't Ritsuko won yet? Is Ritsuko too conservative?

I'll talk to Ritsuko sometime.

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and gave an order.

"Rapid fire mode, fire—"

Upon hearing the order, Rei Ayanami immediately pulled the trigger.

The muzzle of the rocket suddenly lit up with a brilliant light, and in an instant a stream of light shot out and directly hit the deployed AT stand of Unit 2.

"The target has been hit, and... a field neutralization phenomenon has occurred."

In reality, humans have not yet created equipment to observe the at force field. Only with the help of the mysteriousness of the dream program can the observation be completed. That is why the cutting-edge research on the apostles is placed in the dream program. However, this kind of observation is not complete and can only be a relatively one-sided and vague macroscopic observation.

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the background data and corrected it.

"No! This is not neutralization, it's erosion!"

The AT force field of Unit 02 was eroded, but the erosion only lasted for a moment before it burst into a shining cross light.

At this moment, Fumihiko Ikari also came back to his senses and spoke with some surprise.

"The material thrown out by this attack is actually highly integrated soul material! If this is the case, this attack mode is not a squeeze-type throw, but a material acceleration throw similar to a positron rifle."

"Is there any difference between the two? Aren't they both throwing matter out?"

It was Asuka who spoke.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before he began to explain.

"For the former, we can only increase the power of the weapon by strengthening the AT force field in the future. For the latter, we can simplify the structure and increase the power through technological means."

At the same time, he also used this opportunity to figure out the principle of the third apostle's arm laser gun. The structure was not as complicated as he had imagined. It did not release energy by compressing matter through the AT force field, but integrated soul matter into a spear through biological structure to attack the enemy. In simple terms, it was an alternative eye laser without the throwing action.

simply put……

The ability of the third apostle is to integrate soul matter together.

No, other apostles also have this ability, but the manifestation is different...

Well, except the second apostle Lilith.

Thinking of this, he thought of the fourth apostle's fervent whip.

Although we can now reverse-engineer the general principle, in order to research it out, we still need the fourth angel's biotin.

"Let's test the energy storage mode."

The new weapon has two modes, rapid fire and energy storage.

"Switch to energy storage mode."

Hearing Misato Katsuragi's order, Rei Ayanami responded.

"Yes."

This time he did not release the trigger after pulling it.

This time, the muzzle continued to shine white light, and after about ten seconds, the energy reached its limit.

Although the power of the mind is set to be infinite, the third apostle's body has its biological limits.

Highly integrated soul matter cannot continue to accelerate after it has accelerated to a certain degree, because if it continues, it will cause damage to the biological structure. To put it simply, it will explode if it continues.

"emission--"

"Yes."

Rei Ayanami responded calmly and released the trigger.

The power of this shot is a bit exaggerated, yet a bit weak.

It penetrated Unit 2's AT force field protection almost instantly, but only melted part of Unit 2's chest armor.

"Unit 2's chest armor was extensively damaged, and its biological structure was slightly damaged."

Ikari Fumihiko heard this announcement.

For a moment, it was unclear whether the new generation of armor was too strong, or most of the kinetic energy was consumed by penetrating the AT force field, or whether the new weapons were highly destructive to AT force and less destructive to matter.

20:39:29

718. Very good, the EVA reactor has been upgraded

Either one is possible.

Because all the armor parts on EVA are constantly iterating with the development of technology.

Resistance is high.

It is normal that highly integrated soul matter is an AT force field special attack weapon.

It is also normal for the at force field to consume a large amount of kinetic energy.

After a series of corresponding tests, a conclusion was finally reached.

Highly integrated soul matter has a special attack bonus against the at force field, but it is also not weak against physical attacks. The reason why it did not cause too much damage to Unit 2 is mainly because the at force field consumed most of the kinetic energy, and the remaining kinetic energy was all blocked by the armor. Even if the armor was thicker, it could block the attack alone without deploying the at force field.

Faced with this result, everyone was only slightly surprised for a moment before they reacted.

The material used in EVA armor today is the Ikari-type nanostructured material used to build space elevators.

Rather, given the strength of Ikari-style nanostructures, the fact that the new weapon can destroy them to this extent already shows that this weapon is powerful enough.

"The official name of this weapon is the Psychic Rifle."

When coming up with this name, Fumihiko Ikari was thinking of the lightsaber in Star Wars.

The Third Apostle's spear of light is, in a way, not much different from the basic principles of the lightsaber in this movie.

Each EVA holds a lightsaber.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This idea is a bit ridiculous, but it has the potential to be realized.

Even the simplest way is to use an EVA to distribute a third apostle's arm to use as a two-handed sword.

Of course, this is just a thought, because the actual combat value of making a lightsaber is not very high. The power of the light spear is mainly due to its special structure, which allows the light spear to burst out power beyond the strength of the body. Making it into a lightsaber is equivalent to giving up the only advantage and turning the light spear into a long stick that increases the AT force field special attack.

The biggest gain from this weapons testing experiment is not the psychic weapon itself, but the highly integrated soul matter that was thrown out like a bullet.

Humanity’s research on soul matter has not made any breakthroughs, mainly because soul matter is difficult to observe.

The emergence of highly integrated soul matter will undoubtedly greatly reduce the difficulty of observation, which means... the door to the secrets of soul matter has been opened to mankind.

After the experiment, Fumihiko Ikari published the relevant information about highly integrated soul matter on the Internet.

He didn't need to recruit scholars. After Nerv learned about the information about highly integrated soul matter, he took the initiative to organize a professional team to rush to Japan.

Soul matter is related to the at force field.

It is a special substance that constitutes the soul in hypothesis. The reason why it is a hypothesis is that so far, human beings' definition of soul matter is based on the "hypothesis given by Fumihiko Ikari", and no substantial evidence has been found to prove that soul matter is the basic substance that constitutes the soul. Even whether the soul really exists is still unknown.

Fumihiko Ikari did not participate in it, but only provided the arm body of the third apostle and the plan to generate the gun of light.

Compared to the psychic rifle, the light gun is easier to observe.

Among this group of scholars, in addition to the team researching highly integrated soul matter, there is also a team researching psychic rifles.

Essentially, the psychic rifle and the positron rifle have similar structures, except that one emits positrons, while the other is highly integrated soul matter. The research that this team is responsible for is to combine the two together and increase the biological upper limit of the psychic rifle through scientific means, thereby increasing the power of the psychic rifle.

The reason for researching psychic weapons instead of continuing to research positron weapons.

It's not that the former is better than the latter.

Relatively speaking, psychic weapons are less affected by external factors, are more suitable for use in atmospheric environments, and they also have special attack bonuses against AT force fields.

The more powerful a positron weapon is, the less suitable it is for use in atmospheric environments.

Of course, the most important thing is that at this stage the power of psychic weapons has surpassed that of positron weapons, and they are also more convenient to use.

After thinking about it for a while, Fumihiko Ikari gave up his research on the spear of light.

"Unless the Third Apostle's body arm is directly transplanted onto EVA, the Light Spear will add an extra burden to the driver. A high-frequency vibration dagger is enough for melee weapons... However, the Third Apostle's body is more suitable for creating a behemoth. As long as the power of the mind is sufficient, the eye laser and the Light Spear can be used.

what……

The more I study, the more I feel…”

He did not say the following words out loud, but only added them in his mind.

The more you know about the other apostles, the more you will realize how useless Lilith is.

Thinking of this, he temporarily focused his attention on the third apostle's body's self-destructive ability.

The third apostle only has a human form, but his internal structure is completely different from that of humans. He has no internal organs, but a special tissue as a whole. No, the whole body is made up of this structure, a bit like a sponge. When the power of the heart is injected, it will expand, causing the power of the heart to accumulate in the body. When it reaches its limit, this tissue form will transform into an unknown substance, causing an explosion.

What is this substance?

Could it be a highly integrated soul substance?

wrong!

This structure...isn't it a biological natural battery that stores the power of the mind!?

Uh……

There seems to be no use in storing the power of the mind.

Reducing the weight of the psionic rifle? Not very meaningful, but it will increase the number of steps to reload.

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find out what use this thing could have after being made into a battery. It seemed that it could only be made into a bomb. From the perspective of a bomb alone, the power of N2 is naturally greater, but the power and penetration of this psychic bomb is stronger, and it will also confine the explosive energy in the cross light, making it easier to break the apostle's AT force field protection.

wrong!

In fact, we can test whether this kind of organization can store electrical energy, and if it can, it can be applied to EVA. Well, it seems... it doesn't have to be so complicated. In fact, if we change the logic to think about it, we can completely use the power of the mind to drive the highly integrated soul matter to produce kinetic energy to generate electricity. In other words, the light gun combined with the dream program can create a psychic power generation device.

Following this idea, Fumihiko Ikari designed it and made an embarrassing discovery.

This device is a bit too big and cannot be put into the EVA body. However, it can be made into engines for trains, subways, and ships, and can replace the current EVA reactors.

"Well, that's great! The giant EVA that has been pushing the wheels can finally stop..."

Thinking of this, Ikari Fumihiko lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

After he fell asleep, someone pushed open the door of the room.

It was Naoko Akagi, no...it should be Ritsuko Akagi disguised as Naoko Akagi.
