I participated in the development of EVA

"What's going on now?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't understand either, so he could only explain it with gritted teeth.

“That should be a key point.”

"key point?"

Fumihiko Ikari looked at Unit 00 which was undergoing shooting training, and spoke again after a while.

"The synchronization rate is a reflection of the mental coordination between the pilot and the EVA. Now that this situation has occurred, it should be that the two are undergoing a deeper coordination."

172. I don’t think I pressed the skip button?

Ikari Yui was thinking about the synchronization rate theories proposed by Ikari Fumihiko and other scholars.

It was a long time before he spoke.

"Lack of strong emotional resonance?"

Fumihiko Ikari realized that something was wrong.

"Probably not."

Although he hadn't thought of a good answer, he still spoke up to deny the speculation.

He didn't want to become a sacrifice for Rei Ayanami's awakening.

wrong!

This is what the higher-ups think is the condition for awakening, just like the condition for opening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Ok……

The reason why the top management had such an idea was somewhat related to the theories he had fabricated based on the original plot in order to protect Rei Ayanami.

Seeing that he was in deep thought, Ikari Yui did not interrupt him.

It was a moment before he spoke again.

"To achieve emotional resonance, one must first determine one thing."

Ikari Yui is not stupid and knows a lot of information in this area. Ikari Fumihiko only gave a hint and he guessed the answer.

"Does Eva have emotions?"

"Correct."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, and after a moment of silence, he asked Ikari Yui another question.

"Do you think Eva has emotions?"

Ikari Yui once thought about this question.

wrong!

Everyone who knows that EVA is a living being will think about this question.

"According to the current data, EVA only has biological instincts, just like the wild animals in nature."

As she spoke to this point, she suddenly thought of the clones of Rei Ayanami who were living in the incubator and had not yet been activated.

"Hmm? Are you trying to say that Eva lacks soul?"

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to say anything, she continued.

"Is Eva in a similar situation to Rei Ayanami?"

Although Ikari Yui's story was a little vague, Ikari Fumihiko still understood what she wanted to say.

Eva, like Rei Ayanami, only has one soul.

Ikari Yui continued to mutter to herself, asking and answering questions.

"That should be it."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what to say, and she didn't give him a chance to speak, and immediately added another sentence.

"The current EVA is not a healthy life. Only by completing the defects in the soul and making it complete can its full potential be tapped... No! Although the current synchronization rate is 69.99% and infinitely close to 70%, it is because the subsequent 30% has completely separated from the physical strength and involves the soul.

Sure enough, the unobservable mysterious substance that produces the AT force field comes from the soul of life. Well, it may also be a special substance that is closely related to the soul. "

Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Ikari Fumihiko.

I began to doubt whether Fumihiko Ikari had already realized all this when he first proposed the concept of soul infusion.

Not bad!

She felt that she had thought of these things because she was induced by Fumihiko Ikari.

Fumihiko Ikari is now having trouble keeping up with Yui Ikari's thinking.

"It's a bit contradictory. If that's the case, the upper limit should be completely stuck at 69%. Even if there are fluctuations, it should be between 69% and 70%. No matter how close this number is to 70%, it can never reach 70%. But she has indeed broken through 70% several times in the past few days..."

Having said this, she pondered for a moment, and her eyes became bright.

"So that's how it is. There is no primary-secondary relationship between the pilot and the EVA. The two influence each other.

Eva is being influenced by the driver and is completing her own soul. No! It is the driver's soul that is completing Eva's incomplete soul bit by bit.

This allowed the driver to achieve a theoretically unattainable synchronization rate of over 70%.

After saying this, he looked at Ikari Fumihiko again.

"That's right!"

You ask me...who should I ask! ?

Don't always ask me questions that are obviously beyond the scope.

Ikari Yui's words were a bit confusing, but Ikari Fumihiko still understood Ikari Yui's thoughts at the first opportunity.

To sum it up simply, it can be summed up in one sentence.

Every time Rei Ayanami establishes a spiritual connection with Unit-0, part of her soul will remain in EVA's body to help Unit-0 complete the defects in its soul.

Following Ikari Yui's line of thought, he had a guess about the source of the soul of Unit-0 in the original work.

Although he was not sure what the situation was in the original book, he felt it should be similar to the present.

No matter how many Rei Ayanami there are, there is only one soul. If it is injected directly into Unit 00, Rei Ayanami will no longer exist.

Of course, it is also possible that after attempting the injection, Rei Ayanami and Professor Yamaki both successfully escaped from it.

With two successful cases in the past, Gendo Ikari did not object to Yui Ikari conducting the injection experiment.

Looking at Ikari Yui in front of him, he was thinking about how to answer that would be more beneficial to himself.

"..."

however……

Seeing that he hadn't said anything, Ikari Yui thought he agreed.

As for why Ikari Fumihiko didn't admit it, Ikari Yui felt the reason was very simple.

It was because he was worried that she would become more determined to inject her soul into Unit-01.

“How long will this process take?”

ha? ? ?

I haven't said anything yet! Why did you skip the plot again?

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari thought about how he wanted to pretend to have amnesia when he just traveled through time.

It's really a classic remake.

"I don't know."

I regretted it after I said it. Isn't this equivalent to agreeing?

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.

Sure enough, chaos occurs in a hurry...

He was worried that the topic would be skipped again, so he spoke to buy some time to think, but what he said was worse than saying nothing.

Ikari Yui hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"The data we have now should be able to quantify the completion situation."

Fumihiko Ikari could only guess that Ikari Yui wanted to build a mathematical model through the synchronization rate fluctuation data, but he was not sure how to do it specifically.

Ikari Yui spoke again.

"Oh, right, talk to the driver and find out why the synchronization rate has exceeded the limit and reached 70%. Try to speed up the completion process."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded subconsciously in response.

"it is good."

Ikari Yui said nothing more, turned around and hurriedly left the office.

It was not until then that Fumihiko Ikari came back to his senses from his trance.

Didn't you come here to ask me for a solution?

He walked out of the office and came to the command room.

Watching the situation inside Unit 00's cockpit through the main screen.

If you don't look at Unit 00 in the hall and just look at the picture fed back by the battle simulation system, anyone would mistake it for a game picture.

Then he glanced at the synchronization rate data again.

There is no fluctuation and it is completely fixed at the number of 69.99%, which is obviously abnormal, because the synchronization rate is not always fixed, but will change with the driver's status and psychological changes. There is only one explanation for the current situation, that is, the fluctuation range of the synchronization rate is less than 0.01% at this stage.

Ibuki Emi was a little surprised.

"You two finished talking so quickly? I thought it would take at least a few days to get any results."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded with mixed feelings.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on them, wanting to know what the two people discussed.

He thought about it and felt that it would not make any difference if he said it out loud, so he gave a brief explanation.

"The first 69 percent of the synchronization rate is to tap into the physical potential of Unit-00, and the last 31 percent is related to the soul."

173. It's getting more and more outrageous

"soul??"

Ibuki Emi's face immediately turned a little ugly, obviously thinking of Professor Yamaki's situation.

"you want……"

After hearing only two words, Ikari Fumihiko guessed what Ibuki Emi was going to say.

He immediately shook his head.

"It's not what you think. I'll explain the details later."

Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying it directly, but I'm a little worried that while we're talking, Ibuki Emi might get excited and say something she shouldn't.

Just like before.

At this time, Ibuki Emi also realized that she almost leaked the secret, and cold sweat immediately wet her back.

Considering the confidentiality level of the soul injection experiment, if she revealed it in public, she would be put in solitary confinement even with Ikari Fumihiko's protection.

She had not experienced the feeling of solitary confinement, but she had heard some information about the solitary confinement room from other people.

In the narrow space where one cannot stretch their body, and the naked body is bathed in glaring light for 24 hours, basically all those who have been locked up in the solitary confinement room are tortured to insanity in the end.

He responded with fear.

"Ah."

Then he said thank you.
