I participated in the development of EVA

Being called Professor Ikari made me feel somewhat happy.

The other party immediately knelt on the ground. This action came too suddenly and Fumihiko Ikari was not mentally prepared at all. When he reacted, the other party was already kneeling in front of him.

He immediately reacted and reached out to pull the other person up, but he was too tired yesterday and now he was a little powerless and couldn't pull the other person up for a while.

"I heard from Dr. Ito that you established the Hyacinth Project. If I want to thank you, it's thank you. I have been waiting for this opportunity. If you hadn't developed this technology, I would still be sleeping now, and I would never be able to come here again and see Muzi again."

? ?

I am just a nominal team leader in this hyacinth project, right? How come all the credit goes to me?

Ikari Fumihiko was somewhat puzzled and also somewhat confused.

Why did Dr. Ito reveal his identity to the volunteers?

His identity is considered confidential within the organization. Dr. Ito should be aware of this and would definitely not reveal it to outsiders.

"You get up first."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't stop him at all. After the other party finished saying those words, he kowtowed to him several times.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never wake up again..."

"Thank you already, hurry up and get up - I have other things to take care of."

After hearing this, the other party stood up and spoke with an apologetic look on his face and a sob.

"Ah... Sorry for taking up your time."

I was wondering why Dr. Ito revealed his identity, so I just responded perfunctorily.

"nothing."

The other party really thought that Ikari Fumihiko was busy with something, so he thanked him again before turning and leaving.

Before Ikari Fumihiko could resolve his doubts, Dr. Ito returned.

"I'm ready, just follow me."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, and then directly asked about the doubts in his mind.

"A patient just recognized me."

"Uh--"

Dr. Ito was obviously stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect that such a thing would happen while he was away for such a short time.

Of course she knew what Ikari Fumihiko wanted to know by saying this.

“This is an arrangement made by the top management.”

"Ok?"

Fumihiko Ikari responded and motioned for Dr. Ito to continue.

Dr. Ito naturally did not dare to hide it and immediately told everyone what he knew.

"The organization is under a lot of external pressure right now, so we have to come up with something to divert attention. The Hyacinth Project is under consideration, so the top management made this arrangement."

Ikari Fumihiko frowned.

"Won't the opening of the Hyacinth Project expose the neural connection device?"

He really couldn't understand why the top brass had such an idea. No matter how you looked at it, the neural connection device was the top secret within the Sele organization.

214. Coping methods

Dr. Ito responded cautiously.

"Even if outsiders saw the incomplete technical data, it would be impossible to replicate it, right?"

These words reminded Fumihiko Ikari of the group of people who wanted to replicate the neural connection device based on the design drawings left by Professor Ishida. At the same time, he also realized that he had overestimated the value of the neural connection device. It was not that its value was low, but on the contrary, its value was very high. It was a cross-era technology. If he deeply explored its potential, it would definitely cause a technological impact on human civilization that was no less than the Second Impact.

As long as computer computing power keeps up, humans will be able to enter a world where it is difficult to distinguish between reality and virtuality.

Just like those contraband, all of humanity is addicted to them.

However, this kind of impact can be restricted by legal prohibitions and is within the controllable range for human civilization. But EVA is completely different. It is a technology designed like mysticism.

simply put.

The leakage of the neural connection device will basically have no impact on Project E, because outsiders do not know the existence of EVA, let alone the creation of EVA.

Before he could say anything, Dr. Ito added another sentence.

"And the top management should have a deeper purpose."

Hearing this, he began to understand what the higher-ups were thinking. They were preparing to throw out the neural connection device as bait to divert attention.

The Hyacinth Project is just a bait to attract attention and make people dig out the truth hidden behind this technology, just like the temptation when he proposed the EVAization of humans. The top management does not need to do anything, no... just lay out some clues to let people find the truth behind the scenes they want.

Of course, it is not about using neural connection devices to control humans, which is an anti-human truth. Instead, Sele is secretly researching alternative immortality technologies such as virtual worlds and brains in tanks.

Therefore, these things can be used to lure many people who are unaware of the truth into the game, thus removing some of the shackles on their bodies.

At the same time, it can also allow more scientists to help solve the research on built-in batteries that does not involve EVA's own data.

Of course he knew that this was just a possibility he had thought of, and the plans and arrangements of the top management must be more thorough, but in general it should be in this direction.

He wanted to say something casually, but he realized it only when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

wrong……

The top management has already started making arrangements in this regard.

The top management increased the investment in the Lingbo project not only to please him and complete the research on human EVA, but also to make arrangements at this moment. Otherwise, the situation would have basically stabilized at that time. For the sake of confidentiality, if it was not for the arrangements, the top management would definitely not let outsiders participate in the Hyacinth project.

This behavior is equivalent to providing the enemy with a handle. In the past, the situation was chaotic and no one would notice the disappearance of one or two people. But at that time, the situation had stabilized. These vegetative people were able to survive the second impact, which means that these people must have been taken care of by someone, and the number of people was not small.

No matter how powerful Seele is, it is impossible for him to transfer these vegetative patients to the base without leaving any trace.

Seeing Fumihiko Ikari lost in silence, Dr. Ito remained silent.

She has no interest in these things and doesn't want to get involved.

Of course, she definitely supports opening the Hyacinth Project to the outside world. This will not only attract more volunteers, but also spread her reputation. Although the organization cannot remain secret if it is not open to the outside world, and her reputation will spread sooner or later, but who can gain fame during one's lifetime and who can gain fame after death?

The two of them unknowingly came to a laboratory.

Dr. Ito immediately introduced it.

"Blood tests and genetic tests are done here. Other tests have to go to the medical department, where most of the equipment is."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded absentmindedly.

As expected, fighting against Seele means that a group of people are fighting against you alone.

If one does not have enough force to defeat an opponent with force, no matter how smart a person is, he will definitely be killed.

He shook his head, calmed his mind, and stopped thinking about these things.

"Blood tests are relatively simple and the results can be obtained in ten minutes or so, but genetic tests will take at least three days to produce results."

"so long?"

"Three days is already an expedited result."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't know much about this, but since Dr. Ito said so, he had no choice but to believe it.

The two then came to the medical department to do more projects.

The morning passed quickly. Dr. Ito took the test reports and looked through them. After a while, he spoke again.

"You are in good health, but you need to exercise some restraint recently."

Although Dr. Ito's words were vague, Fumihiko Ikari naturally knew what this restraint referred to.

isn't it?

It's only been five days and you're already exhausted?

Uh--

Well, a normal person would feel a little weak after tormenting the body like this.

"Nothing unusual?"

Doctor Ito suppressed all the thoughts that were rushing through his mind, and stopped himself from thinking about why Ikari Fumihiko wanted to undergo a physical examination, and what information was hidden behind it. He just did his job well. "From these test reports alone, there is indeed nothing abnormal in your body. You are relatively young in that aspect, and you can recover to normal after a day or two of rest, or you can receive some physical adjustment treatment."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't care much about that aspect. After all, he would recover after a night's rest in the treatment cabin.

In fact, with these reports, genetic testing is no longer important.

If there really is a problem, there will definitely be abnormalities in these reports. However, since the project has already been done, it is natural to look at the results, just like checking to see if this body has any family genetic diseases.

"Let me know when the genetic test results come out."

After saying this, he thought of the plot that often appears in TV dramas where someone else answers an important phone call when the person is not present, and immediately added another sentence.

"Tell me in person, don't call, and don't tell anyone else."

Fumihiko Ikari was Dr. Ito's immediate superior, so she naturally nodded and agreed to this order. She didn't want the Hyacinth Project to be affected because of such a small matter.

"it is good."

After finishing the business, Fumihiko Ikari glanced at the time.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and thinking that Ayanami Rei and Ibuki Megumi had already eaten, there was no rush to leave.

"How far along is the Hyacinth Project?"

"Five of the first volunteers who received the treatment have regained consciousness."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't care at all about how many volunteers there were in the first batch. He was talking about this now just because he had made the trip here with great difficulty, and he wanted to know if there were any accidents in the project. However, after staying in the base for so long, he was no longer a newbie who had just traveled through time. He immediately realized that Dr. Ito was just picking out the good things in his words.

215. Sensitive nerves

Without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to say anything, Dr. Ito continued his narration.

"The others are also showing signs of waking up..."

Ikari Fumihiko was not interested in these and immediately interrupted the other party's words.

"Has there been an accident?"

Dr. Ito was a little surprised, but then he realized that Fumihiko Ikari was maintaining his noble character.

"No."

Of course, it was impossible for Fumihiko Ikari to believe everything the other party said.

"Ask someone to go to the cafeteria and bring my lunch over."

After saying that, he turned on the computer, logged into his account and looked through the experimental records of this period.

No matter what, he is the leader of this project team.

He had to shoulder his responsibilities. Well...if the patient hadn't suddenly recognized and thanked him today, he would have forgotten about this duty.

"it is good."

Dr. Ito responded and complained in his heart.

Aren't you tired of pretending like this all the time?

But then I realized that I was a little obsessed with this kind of thing. No matter if it was a disguise or it was sincere, it all depended on what the other person was doing.

To put it simply, people are not saints, so we should judge by their deeds rather than their hearts.

As for Fumihiko Ikari’s inspection data?

She is upright and naturally has no fear of being criticized. Unless absolutely necessary, the projects she presides over tend to be conservative and moderate, so there have indeed not been any major problems so far. However, this has also led to unsatisfactory results. Although she is a little worried that Fumihiko Ikari will find fault with this, she knows in her heart that there is no point in worrying about such things.

The experimental records involved too many professional terms, and Fumihiko Ikari only had a vague understanding of them. However, this only affected his understanding of the core of Hyacinth's technology, but did not affect his understanding of the experimental results.

Recalling the scene where the patient knelt down to thank him, he watched it very seriously at this time.

Not long after, the cell phone rang.
