I participated in the development of EVA

"Cut off the power!! Don't just stand there--"

As his voice fell, Ibuki Emi was about to press the emergency button, but Unit 0 calmed down at this moment.

Rei Ayanami's voice also came through the microphone.

"It's Wen Yan's voice..."

She gradually regained consciousness, her eyes a little dazed.

"What happened to Li just now?"

Ibuki Emi looked at Ikari Fumihiko.

"Still cutting off the power?"

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak, Ikari Yui spoke first.

Although the synchronization rate has dropped from its peak to around 72.43%, it is still a huge improvement.

She didn't want to miss this opportunity to collect data.

"Don't cut it off. The experiment will continue."

When she heard Ikari Yui's voice, that inexplicable emotion surged up in Ayanami Rei's heart again, but it disappeared when she thought that Ikari Fumihiko was also in the command room.

Fumihiko Ikari hesitated for a moment when he saw that Rei Ayanami was not seriously injured, but finally nodded.

"not needed for now."

After saying that, he asked Rei Ayanami with concern.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Li didn't feel anything unusual."

After confirming that Ayanami Rei was fine, Fumihiko Ikari spoke again.

"What happened just now?"

183. For Coke——

The previous rampage was slightly different from those shown in the original work. Rei Ayanami did not struggle in pain, and Unit-00 did not hold its head and howl. It was not the rampage of Unit-01 where the pilot was treated as a pendant. It looked more like an emotional resonance between Unit-00 and Rei Ayanami, similar to the unity of man and sword in fantasy novels.

Rei Ayanami described what happened just now.

"Just now, Li felt as if there was some kind of air in her chest that was pressing against her and making it hard for her to breathe. No matter how she adjusted her breathing, it didn't work. It seemed that only by destroying and shouting could she exhale the air."

Ikari Yui wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally shut her mouth.

The rampage of Unit-00 is indeed a testament to the power of EVA, but the price may very well be the lives of everyone in the room.

The same went for the rest of the people, not even daring to breathe.

Fumihiko Ikari naturally knew what emotions Rei Ayanami was describing.

“That’s anger.”

Rei Ayanami was a little confused, but also a little enlightened.

“Is this anger?”

Before this, she didn't know what anger was. She just heard this word from other people and knew it was a general term for emotions.

"Yes, you were furious just now, which means you were extremely angry."

A funny idea popped into Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

If she has Saiyan blood, wouldn't Ayanami Rei transform into a Super Saiyan just because of this bottle of Coke?!

Rei Ayanami nodded and wrote down the concept.

Her previous rampage caused the situation to change, and now she didn't know what to do for a moment, so she had to ask Ikari Fumihiko.

"What's Rei going to do now?"

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it and did not order the restraints to be removed, nor did he end the training. In fact, according to his idea, it would be better to end the training at this time, so as to ensure Rei Ayanami's safety to the greatest extent. However, he was a little worried that after a long time, Rei Ayanami would forget the feeling just now and miss the opportunity to improve her strength.

There are still about thirteen years before the apostles invade. It seems like a long time, but they are extremely dangerous apostles after all.

Since Rei Ayanami is going to fight with him in the future, the stronger she is, the better.

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko in deep thought, Ikari Yui couldn't help but turned off her microphone and whispered a reminder.

"Continue to select the training plan and deploy the AT force field."

He said this obviously because he was worried that Fumihiko Ikari would change his mind at the last minute.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"I have my own ideas."

After responding, he no longer paid attention to Ikari Yui and turned to speak to her.

"Recall how you felt just now, and remember, try not to be controlled by your anger this time."

Ikari Yui nodded.

Unit 00's consciousness was already incomplete, and was suppressed by the Longinus Alloy, making it as rigid as a machine.

Therefore, she just closed her eyes and simply reviewed the previous situation. The anger was transmitted from Unit 0's consciousness, but she subconsciously resisted this emotion, worried that she would lose her mind again like before. She didn't want to go berserk and hurt anyone again, especially since Fumihiko Ikari was still at the scene.

The anger was mostly resisted, and the synchronization rate barely reached 80%, but it soon fell back to 79%.

Fumihiko Ikari took a glance at the synchronization rate data and knew that Rei Ayanami had succeeded.

Speak immediately.

"Very good, that's it, remember the state at this moment."

Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Ikari Yui finally realized that Ikari Fumihiko wanted Ayanami Rei to master her previous runaway state.

I can't help but admire Fumihiko Ikari's courage.

While others avoid rampage, Fumihiko Ikari goes the other way and wants to master this power.

The others were a beat slower to react, but they all reacted as well, with similar expressions of admiration.

Rei Ayanami nodded obediently, but it didn't last long before she couldn't help but ask a question.

"How long are you going to keep going like this... Li is feeling so tired, I can't hold on any longer."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't know that Rei Ayanami had lost a lot of energy because she was resisting the anger of Unit-0, he just knew that turning on this state would put a heavy burden on the pilot.

"That's enough. Remember this feeling. It should be useful when you fight bad guys in the future."

Rei Ayanami was a little overwhelmed.

"Li doesn't know how to resolve it..."

"Think of something nice, like... um..."

Halfway through his speech, Fumihiko Ikari felt that his expectations of Ayanami Rei were too high, so he immediately changed his mindset and modified what he was going to say next.

"I'll have the Human Resources Department airlift a box of Coke back later. I should be able to have Coke for lunch."

Hearing this, Rei Ayanami's attention was indeed attracted. The tiredness on her face disappeared, and her eyes were bright enough to almost glow. She even thought of the taste of Coke and subconsciously swallowed a big mouthful of LCL liquid with a faint smell of blood. At the same time, the synchronization rate dropped back to 72% again.

Although it is much lower than the peak, it is still two percentage points higher than when it started in the morning.

"You have to protect it well this time, oh——"

Once again, the word "protection" was emphasized.

Rei Ayanami's eyes were more determined than ever, and her young face was more serious than ever.

"Li will never allow anyone to take Coke away from her this time!"

Everyone in the command room heard every word of their conversation. Except for Ikari Yui and Ibuki Emi, who knew the situation, everyone else was confused. How could this be related to Coke? It sounded like Unit-00 went berserk because of Coke? It couldn't be possible.

The Coke they are talking about should not be the cheap drink we know, right?

Everyone was filled with questions, but no one dared to ask.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Fumihiko Ikari decided to let Rei Ayanami try to deploy the AT force field again.

"Remember the feeling at this moment, and try to manipulate EVA to deploy the AT force field."

Rei Ayanami didn't doubt it and nodded seriously.

Carefully feeling her feelings at this moment, she imagined in her mind the scene where Ikari Yui was blocked by a wall when she tried to snatch the Coke from Ikari Fumihiko.

Immediately, an inexplicable wave gushed out from the body of Unit 0.

The unfolded at force field is not just one side, but three layers superimposed on each other.

The state is also more stable than before, and there is no longer that shaky feeling that it may collapse at any time.

Everyone stared blankly at the three layers of barriers that unfolded in front of Unit 0.

After a while, Ibuki Emi was the first to come to her senses.

"Does this force field have no thickness? Or does the thickness exist in another dimension?"

The thickness of the at stand looks as if it does not exist, and the deployed force field cannot be seen from the side at all.

Ikari Yui didn't say anything, she was busy collecting data with others.

Ikari Fumihiko replied.

"Probably not."

"That is?"

"It should be around the quark level."

"No way? Almost as good as subatomic?"

“Even smaller.”

184. Dying and sick, awakened from hunger

Ibuki Emi didn't really care about the thickness of the at force field. She asked this question mainly because she wanted to know the defensive capabilities of the at force field.

If we analyze the strength of future enemies based solely on EVA, minus the mysterious AT force field, even if EVA possesses a perpetual motion machine, it will not pose much of a threat to humans. The high temperature generated by a nuclear bomb explosion is enough to evaporate it. Even if nuclear bombs are not used, there are many kinds of weapons that can get rid of EVA without an AT force field.

"Can something so thin really be used to block attacks?"

Ikari Fumihiko also had only a vague understanding of this aspect and could only make a perfunctory remark.

"Let's wait for the data to come out."

Ibuki Emi responded.

"Oh."

Then he asked back.

"Emergency plan, do we still need to prepare it?"

Although this runaway did not cause any serious damage, Unit 00 did runaway after all, and matters concerning safety cannot be taken lightly for the sake of convenience.

Fumihiko Ikari had no choice but to give up his original idea.

"No need. Check the restraints later. If they are loose or damaged, design a new set of restraints."

The restraints need to be firm to prevent accidents.

"You need to discuss this with Ikari Yui."

"Ah."

At this time, Ikari Yui came to the two of them.

"I want to make physical contact."

Ikari Fumihiko did not refuse.

"Okay, remember to take biochemical protection measures."

In fact, you don’t have to do it, but it’s better to be cautious.
