I participated in the development of EVA

"I should have expected that you would come again."

The camp director greeted everyone and gave a brief introduction to the current situation of the camp.

"The pier, fishing platform and swimming area have been built, but it will take a few days for the wooden house to be repaired."

Ikari Fumihiko simply responded.

"Ah."

"What are you eating tonight?"

"No fishing this time. You can make the arrangements."

The last time he went fishing, he was hit hard, and he never wanted to go fishing again in his life.

After explaining the dinner matter to the camp director, I wanted to ask everyone what they wanted to play, but after looking around at everyone who didn't move, I realized that I still had to arrange this matter myself.

"It's still a while before dark, let's go play in the water first."

As he expected, no one raised any objections.

"Have you all brought your swimsuits? If not, go talk to the camp director."

Naoko Akagi felt a little unnatural.

"Swimsuit?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I can not swim."

"It's okay. There should be a shallow area. Let's go in and play with everyone."

Akagi Naoko responded somewhat reluctantly.

"Ok."

Among the four people, except Ibuki Emi who made some preparations in advance, the other four basically had no preparations and came empty-handed.

The camp director provided swimsuits for everyone.

Men's swimsuits are simple, just a pair of loose swimming trunks, while women's styles are more complicated.

Except for Ibuki Emi, the other three girls were more shy, and their swimsuits were more conservative, just like school swimsuits, with simple modifications of one-piece swimsuits. However, Ibuki Emi's was just a little more fashionable, revealing her fair back. I don't know if it was because I didn't observe carefully on weekdays, or if the swimsuit modified her figure, or if she secretly ordered something...

In short, Fumihiko Ikari felt that Emi Ibuki seemed to have grown a little bigger.

Rei Ayanami's white swimsuit looks similar to the combat uniform she wears on a daily basis, and she is as cute as ever.

What surprised him most were Akagi and her daughter.

The clothes she usually wears are quite simple in style, and it is difficult for Fumihiko Ikari to see anything. But now after putting on a swimsuit, Naoko Akagi's hot body is fully revealed. She doesn't look like she has given birth to a child at all. It's just that the style of the swimsuit she chose is rather old-fashioned, making her look older than her actual age.

Ritsuko Akagi's whole body is filled with the innocence and youthfulness of a girl. Although her body has not yet fully developed, it is still well-proportioned.

Putting aside personal emotions, the fashionably dressed Ibuki Emi is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among the four girls.

After asking the camp supervisor, everyone came to the shallow water area.

As soon as he entered the lake, he noticed that Rei Ayanami was about to perform a drowning show for everyone, no! She was habitually trying to breathe in liquid form, so he immediately pulled her up.

“This water is unbreathable.”

Ayanami Rei looked at Fumihiko Ikari in confusion.

Obviously confused as to why lake water cannot breathe in liquid form.

Fumihiko Ikari was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know how to explain it so that Rei Ayanami could understand, so he could only say it stiffly.

“This one can’t breathe.”

Rei Ayanami obviously still couldn't understand, but she still responded obediently.

"Oh."

Ibuki Emi was lying on a large swimming ring, lazily basking in the sun.

The Akagi mother and daughter were still at the shore. After a long time, Akagi Naoko looked at Ikari Fumihiko who was teaching Ayanami Rei to swim before she made up her mind.

"Ritsuko, can you swim?"

When Ritsuko Akagi heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Fumihiko Ikari and Rei Ayanami, and immediately shook her head with an expectant look on her face.

"will not."

This answer surprised Naoko Akagi.

"I remember you learned to swim before."

“I haven’t learned it yet.”

Although Naoko Akagi was a little slow, she still reacted at this time.

but……

She can't swim!

Even if I want to interact, I don’t know how to teach.

171. Deeper coordination

The mother and daughter stood there for a moment with different thoughts in their minds, and then Akagi Naoko spoke again.

"Then let's go kayaking."

Ritsuko Akagi was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

My mother can't swim.

Only after realizing this did she understand what her mother meant when she asked her if she could swim, which made her regretful. However, whether it was teaching swimming or kayaking, she was very happy as long as she could interact more with her mother. At the same time, she was very grateful to Fumihiko Ikari. She knew very well that the change in her mother must be related to Fumihiko Ikari.

"Ah."

The staff placed the kayak on the water for both of them.

Naoko Akagi can't swim, but she learned how to row a boat from her father.

A mother and daughter are kayaking.

Fumihiko Ikari started out by teaching Rei Ayanami how to swim, but it didn't last long before it turned into a water fight because of Emi Ibuki's interference.

After a while, Akagi and her daughter were also involved.

Naoko Akagi was a little reserved, but...she was soon infected by the atmosphere and joined in.

Everyone played happily until the setting sun was about to disappear, then returned to the ground and lay on the benches to watch the sunset.

The people who had stayed underground for a long time and had not experienced the natural scenery for a long time were immersed in the ordinary scene.

I didn't come to my senses until the moonlight fell on the lake.

"Dinner is ready."

Following the camp director's voice, everyone immediately came to the dining table.

Barbecuing by yourself is actually one of the fun things in camping, but everyone present is either an expert or a child, and none of them have any cooking experience.

After dinner, Fumihiko Ikari thought for a moment and then led everyone to play video games. However, except for Rei Ayanami, the other three were not very interested in it. They basically just sat aside to join in the fun and watched Fumihiko Ikari and Rei Ayanami play. Then, in order to liven up the atmosphere, they changed to watching a movie.

Overall the atmosphere was pretty good.

When sleeping, Akagi and her daughter lived in one tent, Ikari Fumihiko and himself lived in one tent, and Ibuki Emi and Ayanami Rei slept in one tent.

Although Rei Ayanami cannot leave the treatment cabin, there will be no problems with her body if she does not receive treatment for just two days.

Camping is indeed interesting, but sleeping in a sleeping bag is a little uncomfortable.

The next day, the others had already watched the sunrise. Ikari Fumihiko missed it because he slept in. He wanted to take everyone hunting, but gave up the idea because he considered that Ayanami Rei was still too young. He decided to go sightseeing instead. Under the protection of security personnel, everyone entered the forest. The original idea was good, but the road was too difficult to walk on, so he persuaded everyone to go back to the lake.

Swing, play in the water, soak up the sun, and enjoy the speed on the yacht.

Before anyone knew it, the holiday had slipped away before anyone could react.

Ibuki Emi said to Ikari Fumihiko.

"I really don't want to go back."

Ikari Fumihiko could only offer words of comfort.

"Come back later."

"Ah."

Ibuki Emi responded, and then seemed to have thought of something and spoke immediately.

"I remember that before the second impact, there was a very famous hot spring hotel here."

"Forget about the hotel, but there might be a hot spring."

Naoko Akagi suddenly spoke up.

"I've been there. I forgot the exact name, but I remember it was an artificial hot spring."

When Ikari Fumihiko heard this, he knew what to do.

"I'll give feedback to the supervisor later and ask him to add a hot spring project here."

"That's a good idea."

Fumihiko Ikari talked to the camp manager about the hot springs, and then everyone returned to the underground base while chatting.

The renovation project of Unit 0 has not been completed yet, so they could actually play for another day, but Fumihiko Ikari returned early because he was worried about Rei Ayanami's health.

Except for Rei Ayanami who was receiving treatment and Ritsuko Akagi who was taking tutoring classes, everyone else returned to their jobs.

It was not until the afternoon of the second day after returning to the base that the modification of Unit 0 was completed with everyone working overtime. This time, not only was the power of the neural connection device enhanced, but some parameters were also modified based on daily feedback, and duck hunting was added... No! A crude combat simulation system was installed.

This system is obviously rushed, and the model is very rough, but it is not a problem to use it for shooting training.

After the transformation was completed, Rei Ayanami boarded Unit 0 for testing.

"Turn on bidirectional pulse."

As the order was given, the synchronization rate between Ayanami Rei and Unit-00 was revealed to everyone.

The improvement in camping this time was not as great as the first time, it only increased by 5%.

It reached 68.35%.

Of course, this number is not always stable, it will fluctuate from time to time, sometimes it will increase to more than 70%, and sometimes it will drop to around 65%. When the synchronization rate between Rei Ayanami and Unit 70 rises to more than %, Rei Ayanami can manipulate the AT force field to a certain extent.

“What a pity—

The frequency of reaching more than 70% is too low and the maintenance time is too short, so we can only barely collect some more intuitive data.

It is not enough to verify your previous conjecture about the change in the form of the AT force field."

Ikari Yui felt a little regretful when looking at the data.

Fumihiko Ikari thought of the plot in the original work where Unit 0 rejected Rei Ayanami.

The reason why this happened was that Unit 00 was influenced by Rei Ayanami, which directly revealed Rei Ayanami's self-denying heart.

Previously, the synchronization rate was low and Unit-0 was less affected. But now, as the synchronization rate continues to rise, Unit-0 is more affected by Ayanami Rei. Although Ayanami Rei's situation is completely different from that in the original work and she still has his company, he is still a little worried that the same situation will occur, after all, Ayanami Rei is a clone.

But I thought of Naoko Akagi's advice.

This is just your idea, she may not have such an idea.

"There's nothing to regret. You're just too impatient. Based on past experience, it won't take long for the synchronization rate to rise to over 70%."

"..."

Ikari Yui opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

I’m just afraid... we don’t have that much time.

There is no point in saying this except to create anxiety.

However, the development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

After a week, the synchronization rate reached 69% and then seemed to be stuck. No matter what, it could not break through. Although the peak could reach 73%, this peak was too short and too rare. Most of the time, it remained at 69.99%, an average value that was infinitely close to 70%.

After being stuck at 69.999% for a month, Ikari Yui couldn't hold back any longer.
