I participated in the development of EVA

Everyone around was confused when they heard what Ikari Fumihiko said.

Reminiscing the taste of meat buns? ?

What does this do?

Unable to figure out what the mystery was, people classified it together with the witch's blessing.

There is no deep meaning in itself, I just did it casually.

If she hadn't known the inside story in advance, Ikari Yui would have thought the same as everyone else.

177. What else is there besides eating and drinking? Nothing!

Ayanami Rei didn't know why she did this, but she still obediently began to recall the past.

wrong--

Before Ikari Fumihiko spoke, she had been savoring the taste of the meat buns, and now she was just more focused.

"Can we start the bidirectional pulse now?"

After a while, the operator asked cautiously.

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"Start, bidirectional pulse."

As the bidirectional pulse was turned on, Fumihiko Ikari and Yui Ikari's eyes were focused on the synchronization rate on the screen.

Although Emi Ibuki had only a vague understanding of this and didn't know the specific situation, she realized through observation that the meat buns that Rei Ayanami had eaten in the morning might help her break through the upper limit blockade.

Uh……

Why is it that the more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems! ?

While complaining in his heart, he looked over there.

The driver quickly compared his spirit with that of EVA.

Originally, the result would be available in about ten seconds, but now a minute has passed and the synchronization rate has not been successfully compared.

The reason for this is that the spirits of the two fluctuate greatly and change very quickly at this moment.

isn't it?

Does eating meat buns really work?

Outrageous!

It’s too outrageous!

This is... scholars are no longer studying science, but are instead studying recipes?

She was not the only one who felt it was outrageous; everyone else in the command room was equally confused.

Even Ikari Yui is no exception.

Although Fumihiko Ikari explained the reason to her during the conversation yesterday, she still felt that the idea was reasonable but unreliable.

It's just that I have no other choice now, so I accepted this idea.

Fumihiko Ikari was the calmest person at the scene.

Unlike the violently fluctuating mental data, Unit 00 was fixed in place by the restraints like a wax figure, without any response. Even the single eye that should have been bright was dim as if dead. Inside the cockpit, Ayanami Rei seemed to be asleep, lying on the driver's seat, her chest rising and falling with her breathing.

Now there are only two possible outcomes:

The synchronization rate does not exceed 70%.

Just run away.

Theoretically, the former is more likely, but the possibility of the latter is not zero.

Naturally, he had to prepare for the worst.

"Attention all departments, be prepared for Unit 00 to go berserk."

Hearing the word "runaway", everyone present was very unfamiliar and confused, not knowing what to do. This situation has never happened since the construction of Unit 0 was completed. However, just from the meaning revealed by the word "runaway", it was enough for everyone to understand what would happen -

Unit 0 is out of control!

Just imagining that scene, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and subconsciously thought of the second impact.

Wouldn't this trigger a third impact?

Sensing that the people around her were in a bad mood, Ibuki Emi was the first to react.

She didn't know what would happen after Unit 00 went berserk, and she didn't dare to say anything about it. She could only remind Fumihiko Ikari in his ear.

"It's easy for mistakes to happen in this atmosphere. Please explain the situation and calm people down."

Only then did Fumihiko Ikari notice the panic spreading among the people around him.

"Don't worry too much. It's just possible that it could get out of control. Even if the worst happens and it goes berserk, the pilot and EVA's consciousness will cancel each other out and they won't be able to exert their full strength. Well... they can only exert about 50% of their synchronization power. The surrounding walls are enough to stop Unit-..."

Ikari Yui interrupted Ikari Fumihiko's words.

"Don't talk so much, just tell me what to do."

Fumihiko Ikari is in the mood to explain all this now, but if he doesn't say anything, he's worried that something unexpected might happen and everyone might make mistakes in the rush, causing Rei Ayanami to get hurt.

In the original work, Rei Ayanami was injured because of an operational error when Unit 00 went berserk.

After filtering out the chaotic thoughts in his mind and calming down his emotions, he explained the situation as simply as possible, "If Unit-00 goes berserk, cut off the power supply immediately. The built-in power supply can only keep it active for about one minute. After Unit-00 stops, what we have to do is to rescue the pilot as soon as possible."

With Ikari Fumihiko's explanation, the fear in everyone's hearts dissipated a little, but they still prayed in their hearts that Unit 0 would not go out of control.

More than ten minutes have passed, and there is still no result.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"Check to see if there is any reverse flow of the pulse."

The pulse reflux phenomenon only occurs when EVA rejects the driver. Simply put, EVA wants to drive the driver's consciousness out of the body.

"No."

"Performing system self-check."

"The system is in the process of self-checking. There is no abnormality in the first circuit, the second circuit... all circuits. The system is operating normally."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ikari Fumihiko.

He was about to give the order to pop out the power plug when the mental fluctuations of EVA and the driver began to return to normal. The synchronization rate data appeared on the screen, and the first number that appeared was still 69.99%. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little disappointed. After fluctuating for so long, it still hadn't broken through the limit to 70%.

Just as Ikari Yui was about to say something, the synchronization rate data changed again.

After being stuck for more than a month, the array finally saw some changes.

From 69.99% to 70%——

Everyone's emotions were aroused again, and they looked at the numbers on the screen nervously.

It’s not that the rate had reached over 70% before, but each time it lasted too short a time, just a few seconds or even less than a second.

This time, it didn't drop for even a minute.

At the same time, Rei Ayanami woke up from her sleep.

Ikari Fumihiko asked nervously immediately.

"Is Li okay?"

Rei Ayanami was a little dazed and it took her a while to recover.

"Did Li fall asleep just now?"

Hearing this answer, Fumihiko Ikari knew that Rei Ayanami was fine.

People also calmed down.

"Correct."

After thinking for a while, he asked.

"What did you dream about just now?"

Ayanami Rei tilted her head and thought for a while, then she said with a look of aftertaste: "Rei finished all the meat buns from the morning, and her stomach was not full at all. She even wanted to have another meal. Uh... now her stomach is a little full. It turns out that Rei was just dreaming. No matter how delicious the meat buns are, how can a normal person not feel full after eating so much."

Hearing this answer, Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Besides eating, is there anything else?"

Ayanami Rei was lost in thought.

"Wen Yan and Li are fighting over food, does that count?"

"Well, is there anything else?"

"Li also drank a lot of Coke."

"Besides eating and drinking?"

"No more—Li just dreamed about these things."

Ikari Fumihiko was speechless.

what is this?

Unit 0 tasted through Rei's mouth... No! Should I say it felt the taste of the meat bun?! And the joy of Coke!?

Why is the style of painting becoming more and more weird?

Is this the legendary butterfly effect?

Seeing that he was in deep thought, no one dared to breathe, for fear of interrupting his thoughts.

It was a long time before he spoke again.

"Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"No, Rei doesn't need to go to the bathroom just yet."

Everyone was speechless.

You have been thinking about this for so long, is this what you are thinking about?

Fumihiko Ikari took a look at the driver's physical condition transmitted by the probe in the cockpit, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Rei Ayanami's body before speaking again.

"Alarm is lifted, daily training is proceeding as normal."

178. Embarrassing, it’s the beginning of the month, I was a bit lazy

The venue here is a bit too small, and it is a bit difficult to practice close combat with the size of Unit-00, so the initial stage of daily training relies on sit-ups and other exercises to improve the compatibility between the pilot and Unit-00. Now that the running-in period has passed and before the laboratory is transformed, all we can do is practice shooting through the simulated combat system.

And Rei Ayanami is not very proficient in this.

Just as she was controlling Unit-00 to break free from the restraints and was about to pick up the rifle model to practice her marksmanship as usual, she heard Ikari Yui's voice through the headset.

"No firearms practice today."

She ignored Ikari Yui.

During that experimental accident, Ikari Yui's consciousness was not completely integrated into the Lingbo Network, but it was briefly connected to the Lingbo Network.

She felt malice from the other party, which led to her refusing to have any contact with Ikari Yui.

However, it was this malice that prompted her to form her consciousness.

"Wen Yan, what are you going to do now, Li?"

Ikari Yui was not embarrassed by being ignored. Well... she was already used to Rei Ayanami's bad attitude towards her.

She also had some guesses as to why the other party was so resistant to her.

Either the cloning experiment left him with bad memories, or the accident during the mind incubation experiment made him realize that he was treating him as a tool.

As for what exactly is the cause?

She doesn't care and doesn't care.
