I participated in the development of EVA

Fumihiko Ikari went to so much trouble to send the first angel assimilated body EVA into outer space, but he didn't conduct the dream gate experiment and just treated it as a decoration.

"Aren't you going to proceed with the next experiment?"

"His value of existence is to fill in the blind spots of defense and tell Seele... Now that we have the ability to strike the whole world, tell them not to cause trouble."

"The current First Apostle assimilated body EVA doesn't have this ability, right?"

"Seele doesn't know about this."

"Ok."

Ritsuko Akagi responded and stopped dwelling on these matters, but instead asked a question.

"Can we create more powerful psychic weapons through assimilation experiments?"

The improvement brought about by the assimilation process is an all-round improvement, which includes the strengthening of eye lasers.

Even if she didn't say it, Ikari Fumihiko had the same idea.

"I plan to complete this research on the second apostle's assimilation body."

Ritsuko Akagi did not ask Fumihiko Ikari why he chose the far-flung option of giving up the First Apostle's assimilated body and choosing the Second Apostle's assimilated body as the relevant research material, because she had already sensed that Fumihiko Ikari, for some reason, felt that the Second Apostle's biological sample was more controllable than the First Apostle's biological sample.

After assimilating the biological sample of the First Apostle, the assimilation progress of the Second Apostle's assimilated body returned to normal, which made her feel as if the Second Apostle had made up for his own innate deficiencies.

And Fumihiko Ikari also began his targeted research.

The first thing to do is to test whether the second apostle assimilated body can be used for secondary cultivation, that is, whether the biological sample can produce the body.

The experiment failed.

The fact that a complete body cannot be cultivated according to traditional methods reminds Ritsuko Akagi of the artificial pilot plan related to Rei Ayanami.

No matter how many clones of Ayanami there are, only one individual has self-awareness.

"Will this be similar to the situation of Unit 0?"

Ritsuko Akagi spoke vaguely because she was afraid of Fumihiko Ikari's emotions, but Fumihiko Ikari understood immediately and knew that Unit 0 was referring to Rei Ayanami.

He naturally didn't know whether this was the case now, but there was a way to verify it.

"Create a second apostle assimilation body from scratch."

Ritsuko Akagi understood it almost immediately.

If the replication is successful, it means that the situation is different. If it fails, it means that the problem lies in the soul.

After finishing the second set of assimilation experiments, the two did not focus on it.

The reason is simple. It takes too long to cultivate a second apostle assimilation body from scratch, so they naturally won't waste time waiting.

Their subsequent research was on the self-healing ability of the Second Apostle's assimilated body.

Uh, okay...

It was a beheading experiment to determine whether the second apostle assimilated body could become consumable.

If the head can be cut off without destroying the core, it can grow again. It is not so important whether the biological sample of the second apostle's assimilation body can be used to cultivate the body.

Because the most critical materials in the Second Apostle's assimilated body are only two kinds...

Brain and eyes.

The former can be used to upgrade the Three Sages system, while the latter can be used to upgrade psychic weapons.

This experiment went on without further incident.

With enough energy and mental strength provided, the Second Apostle's assimilation body grows well and is a qualified consumable that can continuously produce enough brain and eye enhancement organs.

If I have to point out a disadvantage, it is that the production capacity is a bit low.

740. What are you willing to believe?

It was not until Fumihiko Ikari removed the brain of the second angel's assimilation body and tried to transform it into the Three Sages System that Ritsuko Akagi reacted.

"The performance of the Three Sages System can actually be improved..."

The reason she didn't realize this was not because she was stupid, but because she had never thought about it in this direction.

Only after being pointed out did he react belatedly.

The assimilation experiment improves the body in all aspects, which naturally includes the brain.

She asked eagerly.

“Is this considered a second-generation machine?”

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head. "Not really. At most it's just an upgrade in performance."

"How much can it be improved?"

“We won’t know until it’s manufactured.”

The enhanced brain is no different from a regular brain, except that it is nearly twice as large. Of course, this is only the surface situation, and targeted research is needed to understand the specific situation. Ikari Fumihiko didn't need to say much about this matter, and Akagi Ritsuko devoted herself to it wholeheartedly. In this regard, Akagi Ritsuko has a high talent, and it only took her about a week to complete the transformation plan.

It took another two days to produce the first enhanced version of the Three Sages System. The performance exceeded their expectations, improving by nearly twenty times.

The already exaggerated performance reached an even more terrifying level.

Fumihiko Ikari is now somewhat skeptical, is the terrifying angel in the original work still capable of invading the current enhanced version of the Three Sages System?

wrong……

It should be said that now this enhanced version of the Three Sages system can in turn invade the Terror Angels.

After this idea popped up in his mind, he couldn't stop it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Three Wise Men system might be able to reversely invade the Terror Angel and capture this special apostle that was almost impossible to capture in the original work. Of course, he was not counting on the performance of the enhanced version of the Three Wise Men, but also the dream program that would store up a huge amount of mental power six years later!

Fumihiko Ikari did not hide the strengthening of the Three Sages System, so this news was like dropping a depth bomb on a calm lake, immediately causing a thousand waves.

However, the topic of discussion was not the performance of the enhanced Three Sages System, but...

Has Fumihiko Ikari already unlocked the Apostle Gene Lock? !

Most scholars believe that Fumihiko Ikari has found a way to unlock the genetic lock of the apostles. The transformation ability and enhanced brain of the first apostle's assimilation body are the best evidence.

The remaining scholars believe that Fumihiko Ikari discovered new Angels, and that current scientific research results are all derived from the research on new Angels.

Just as the two sides were arguing, another depth bomb was thrown into NERV.

The apostolic message was known to countries outside the Council State.

The leaders of these countries gathered together and requested a UN meeting. The source of the incident was that India's application to become a parliamentary country was rejected after it restored order from the missile crisis. However, India initially just wanted to win over a group of allies from uninformed countries to strengthen its power, and then... it messed up, causing the information related to the apostles to spread completely.

Just as the NERV Parliament was discussing countermeasures for this matter, the leaked information was no longer limited to the country's top leaders, but had spread to the middle and lower levels.

NERV, an organization that originally had little presence in the eyes of ordinary people, became the focus of everyone at this moment. By the time everyone reacted, it was too late to block the news.

Things got to this point and the NERV Council had no choice but to contact Fumihiko Ikari.

Ikari Fumihiko's first reaction when he heard the news was: "The news spread too quickly. This must be a premeditated and organized action. Seele must be behind this!"

however……

"No."

The one who answered Ikari Fumihiko was Natsukuni.

"Who is that?"

"They were from the Truth Alliance who invaded the NERV network during the network cutting phase."

Fumihiko Ikari had some impression of this truth.

It is a hacker group that believes that the United Nations has concealed the truth about the Second Impact, and wants to dig out the truth and make it public.

"Alliance? Isn't that an organization?"

"They gained a lot of fame through that invasion, and used it to recruit some organizations with similar ideas and build alliances."

"How many members does this alliance have?"

"There are about three million of them worldwide."

Ikari Fumihiko was shocked when he heard this number.

"Three million people?"

“They are loosely managed and anyone who is skeptical about the second impact can join.”

"No, I'm surprised you allowed such an organization to grow to three million people."

"Three million is just a conservative estimate..."

As soon as Xia Guo finished speaking, E Guo next to him couldn't help but add a sentence.

"They can't be caught and controlled. The organization Truth represents a trend of thought. As long as there are people who doubt the truth about the Second Impact, they will continue to revive."

Fumihiko Ikari can understand the difficulties of nerv.

An organization like truth is not seeking the truth, but an explanation to the relatives and friends who died in the second impact. It is like a blessing for a long time, and the goal of living is to investigate the truth.

"Could it be Seele who is behind this?"

"During our investigation, we found no trace of Seele inside."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't say anything more. He picked up the information and read it through. Only then did he know that the whole incident had a vague outline.

In order to obtain a seat in the parliament, India used some apostle-related information to win over the six countries. Two of the heads of state were members of the Truth Alliance, and even India had truth members. The alliance then spread the news through word of mouth and the friend system in the virtual game, leaving Nerv no time to react.

The only good news now is that India itself doesn’t know much, so the leaked content is all relatively basic.

"How are you going to deal with this?"

The Goose Country gave the answer as a representative.

"I would like to take this opportunity to define SEELE as a terrorist organization and NERV as the United Nations' anti-bioterrorism organization."

"Ok?"

"The Apostle is a biological weapon created by the mysterious organization Seele after studying ancient biological samples."

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari understood.

The NERV Council is preparing to disrupt the order of the apostles and define the fish angel as the first apostle. The other apostles are all seeles who also studied the fish angel to create biological weapons. In other words, all humanoid apostles are not unknown life forms that have always existed on the earth, but biological weapons born under modern technology.

His first reaction was to think that this explanation was only a temporary solution, but then he thought again, the key to this matter is not whether Nerv tells the truth, but what the people are willing to believe.

Compared to the existence of unknown creatures on Earth that can destroy humanity, this explanation is easier to believe.

At the same time, I also thought about the reason why these people called me over even though they had a solution.

How to deal with India, which caused this incident.

741. White Elephant

Fumihiko Ikari is the Speaker, but he does not intend to rule on his own.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision. "It is better to ease the situation than to block the truth. Guiding public opinion can control the situation, but these people will definitely not give up. Let the people below spread the news and ask the top leaders of the truth organization to come over. We can talk to these people face to face."

The others had no objections.

The public opinion aroused by this wave of truth may seem serious, but in fact, just like what was raised in Parliament, it can be controlled with a little guidance.

No matter what, NERV is also an official force of the United Nations and naturally has extremely high credibility.

It was still the Goose Country that spoke.

"What about India?"

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it for a while before making up his mind.

"Let this official step down with dignity and let a smarter official take over."

"What if they don't want to be respectable?"

Ikari Fumihiko knew that when Goose Country said this, it was not really preparing to take action against India, but was just discussing all aspects.

"Then help them look decent."

"I hope it won't come to that! Humanity can't stand the torture anymore."
