I participated in the development of EVA

Compared to the scholars who were arguing endlessly, the personnel of the Global Operations Command only cared about whether the Fish Angel was in a sealed state like the Second Apostle as speculated. On this point, the scholars from both factions had the same answer, that if it was not in a sealed state, it was in a state of serious injury and dormancy. The evidence they gave was that they had been observing it for three days and the Fish Angel had never moved at all.

Although these scholars' analysis was well-reasoned, everyone in the combat command center kept their eyes on Fumihiko Ikari.

"What do you think, Speaker?"

“I think there’s nothing wrong with what they said.”

It's just a little far away.

762. Capture

After receiving the affirmation from Ikari Fumihiko, the people in the combat command center were delighted at first, but then became solemn again.

The good news is that we have finally found the whereabouts of an apostle and there is still a chance to capture him. The bad news is that this is the first real confrontation between humans and apostles and we are also worried about unexpected situations.

Although scholars wanted to know which faction Fumihiko Ikari supported, no one asked.

Misato Katsuragi thus became a busy person.

During the period of preparing props, scholars came to her every day, wanting her help to talk to Fumihiko Ikari. However, family members know their own business. Although she has now replaced Ritsuko Akagi's position and served as a bridge of communication between the parliament and Fumihiko Ikari, there is really no relationship between her and Fumihiko Ikari, and she dare not have any relationship.

The previous events had left her with a psychological trauma.

Just a few casual words almost made him the culprit that led to the extinction of human civilization.

The development of things went more smoothly than anyone had expected, even Ikari Fumihiko.

Fishing nets were lowered from the two aircraft carriers, and after touching the bottom, they dragged the huge fishing nets forward and salvaged the AT force field reaction source from the trench. However, what was salvaged was not the fish-shaped apostle that was similar to the fish-shaped EVA as everyone imagined, but a huge transparent embryo that looked like a shark embryo.

A fish-shaped EVA-like creature is gestating in the turbid and transparent embryo.

"This is... an embryo!?"

"An apostle that has not yet hatched?"

"The apostles are actually oviparous..."

"..."

Everyone stared at it and started discussing it.

Of course, this was a discussion among scholars, while the combat command center was waiting for Ikari Fumihiko's instructions.

Fumihiko Ikari didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he didn't consider how to arrange the follow-up, but he knew what to do after just thinking about it.

"Transport Him to the center of the Sahara Desert. Oh, yes... remember to build a containment facility there.

"Yes!"

The fish angel is hiding the secret of the S2 mechanism, so how could he bear to get rid of it directly?

but……

As they get closer to land, the fluctuations on the fish angel embryos become more and more intense.

"Director, the target's AT force field is continuing to strengthen..."

Before Ikari Fumihiko could speak, a scholar spoke up.

"He has sensed the crisis and may be about to be born early."

The scholar's words made everyone look serious, but everyone's eyes were still focused on Ikari Fumihiko.

Ikari Fumihiko did not speak, but began to think.

If the fish angel hatches prematurely under such circumstances, it will not pose any threat to humans, but the two aircraft carrier fleets around it will inevitably suffer huge losses.

"Have the fleet stop! Calculate the remaining distance and the success rate of using the second-generation aircraft to tow it to the shore."

"Yes."

The calculation results came out quickly.

“Without relevant data, it is impossible to make an accurate estimate.”

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a while and felt that the premature fish angel should be unable to pull Ikari Shikinami apart, so he spoke.

"Let's arrange it according to this plan."

When the aircraft carrier fleet received the order to stop, the strength of the Fish Angel's AT force field did not continue to increase. It was obvious that the previous "awakening" state was just an instinctive reaction to the crisis.

When Fumihiko Ikari gave the order to transport the Fish Angel to the Sahara Desert, NERV had already deployed the second-generation aircraft to the expected landing port on standby. Therefore, not long after Fumihiko Ikari gave the order this time, everything was ready. The two second-generation aircraft and the No. 2 aircraft stood on the port, holding the cable, ready to take action at any time.

The reason why Unit 2 appears here is naturally because there is no EVA in Africa.

Therefore, these three EVAs were airlifted from Europe on a dedicated transport aircraft.

"321... pull!"

As the command from the headquarters was issued, the three EVAs worked simultaneously, pulling the huge fishing net closer to the shore.

The fish angel embryo's at force field, which had originally been silent again, continued to strengthen.

And the closer to the land, the more obvious the awakening trend is.

When it was about three miles away from the coastline, the fish angel woke up. The eyes that were closed in the embryo opened at this moment, and then it broke free of the embryo and bit the fishing net. It wanted to escape but failed. After realizing that it could not break the fishing net, it struggled to drag the fishing net to the deep sea, but...

The three EVAs exerted force at the same time, which had already tightened the fishing net, making it completely impossible for him to exert any force.

Seeing this scene, Ikari Fumihiko understood that the Fish Angel was doomed, but the others did not know this and were still so nervous that they did not dare to breathe.

The three EVA pilots were also afraid that something might happen if they were too late, so they increased their strength at the same time without any orders from the headquarters.

After almost a dozen breaths, the fish angel was caught and brought to the shore in such an ignominious way.

After reaching the shore, the Fish Angel was about to jump back into the ocean when she was stepped on by Unit 2, which reacted first. However, Asuka underestimated the Fish Angel's strength and was almost knocked to the ground. However, the other two second-generation units also reacted at this time, and they immediately pounced on the Fish Angel and used the huge weight of the two EVAs to pin it to the shore.

The fish angel deployed the AT force field to try to push away the EVA that was pressing on her, but was directly neutralized by the AT force fields deployed by two EVAs.

Unit 2 took the opportunity to get the restraint device, used a high-frequency vibration dagger to cut a wound on the fish angel, and then inserted the restraint device into its body.

The fish angel's resistance immediately weakened.

After seven restraint devices were inserted in succession, the fish angel lost consciousness and closed his eyes.

"Phew! I finally caught this big fish..."

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari spoke up.

"Now is not the time to relax. Implant the remaining restraints to prevent this guy from faking defeat."

"Know it!"

Asuka then forcibly implanted the remaining twenty-three restraints into the fish angel's body.

"This is finally possible!"

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari did not communicate with Asuka, but gave Misato Katsuragi a look.

Misato Katsuragi immediately arranged for mechanical equipment to come forward to collect biological samples, and then arranged for a transport plane to carry the Fish Angel and fly towards the Sahara Desert. Three EVAs also followed on the transport plane.

Asuka asked Ikari Fumihiko while they were on the way.

"are you coming?"

"Want to see me?"

"I'll miss you? That joke isn't funny at all."

Ikari Fumihiko chuckled.

"After you escort the things over, come here."

Asuka just snorted in response.

"Humph."

Ikari Fumihiko chuckled and focused his attention on the fish angel.

The environment deep in the Sahara Desert does not have any negative impact on the fish angels. It just keeps them away from the ocean, and there are few people in the desert, so an accident will not cause much damage.

20:50:36

763. Drag

Inside a temporary colored steel greenhouse research institute deep in the Sahara Desert.

The fish angel was like an animal in a zoo, surrounded by a group of scholars in white coats, who were commenting on it and had biological samples extracted from various parts of its body.

"It's incredible. He clearly didn't get any energy from the outside world, but his body strength is still slowly improving."

"Yeah, where does He get this energy from?"

"Could it be that it is energy gained from ambient heat?"

"He is a sea creature..."

"What happened to the marine life? There are so many volcanic vents on the seafloor, and the water temperature in many places can reach 450 degrees Celsius."

"What are you arguing about? What's there to argue about? If you want to know the answer, just turn up the air conditioner and lower the indoor temperature."

……

As everyone was arguing, their eyes would likely fall on a silent figure.

This person is none other than a male android controlled by Fumihiko Ikari.

The reason why he specifically controlled a bionic man to come here was naturally not because he wanted to see the fish angel with his own eyes, but with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to observe the S2 mechanism. He thought about it for a week before he came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to use the Three Sages System to decipher the brain of the fish angel and forcibly read the relevant data of the S2 mechanism.

"Minister, the transformation has been completed."

The research institute here is only a temporary base, so the level of automation is not high and most of the research work needs to be done manually.

Ikari Fumihiko responded.

"Ah."

He started the computer in front of him, and the other scholars came over when they saw him.

Fumihiko Ikari did not say anything about this, but just entered a command on the operation page, and then the Three Sages System successfully established a connection with the fish angel's brain through the neural connection device. Although the connection was successfully established, no information was read, but the fish angel's body could be controlled through the brain.

In other words, the fish angel can be transformed into an unmanned puppet in this way.

After thinking about the fish angel's poor fighting ability and the fact that it could only display its true strength in the ocean, he decided to give up the idea.

Uh……

It doesn’t seem that bad.

As long as it is modified through assimilation experiments, the fish angel can assimilate the third apostle's gene to gain the ability to move on land, or the genes of other apostles.

but……

Can the AT force field be deployed in this way?

Don’t worry, just record this idea first and study it slowly later.

He did it as soon as he thought of it, and he sorted out his thoughts immediately.

Of course, the content recorded in the archives does not include information related to the S2 agency.

The scholar standing behind him widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the idea recorded by Ikari Fumihiko.

It took a while for them to come back to their senses. At this time, they thought of the fish angel's ability to continuously obtain energy through unknown methods to strengthen itself. Everyone present was excited. If Ikari Fumihiko's transformation idea could succeed, this fish angel would definitely be the strongest fighting force under the artificial gods in the future! !

Moreover, if the fish angel can be transformed in this way, the other apostles can also implement the same plan as long as they can capture one.

Minister Ikari's talent...

It's so terrifying!

After preparing the case, Fumihiko Ikari did not continue to worry about obtaining information from the brain, but instead switched the connection lines and began to intercept information from the nerves.

The intercepted information was very complex, but it was nothing for the Three Sages System, and all the information was quickly sorted out. He compared the data with the data of the fish-shaped EVA, but... this plan still did not find anything special, that is, the legendary S2 mechanism.

He wasn't surprised.

Instead, another plan was launched, which was to transform the fish angel's brain into the Three Sages System.
