I participated in the development of EVA

Some people have been completely brainwashed by the rhetoric of the top leaders, believing that they are responsible for the survival of all mankind, while others are simply swept up in this atmosphere.

Ibuki Huimi didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject.

"By the way, has the pilot of Unit-01 been decided?"

Ikari Fumihiko naturally knew what Ikari Yui was planning, but he obviously couldn't tell Ibuki Megumi about this.

"I don't know."

He averted his eyes almost subconsciously when he said this.

Ibuki Huimi had originally just asked out of curiosity, but when she saw Ikari Fumihiko's expression, she realized that there was something that she could not know.

Another clone?

wrong……

It should be to activate another Rei Ayanami.

245. Inertial Logic

In Ibuki Huimi's opinion, the top management should activate another clone, Rei Ayanami, to become the pilot of Unit-01.

I hope so…

She was a little worried.

The organization has developed a core transplantation technology, and the top management will transplant the core of the prototype into Unit-01. If this happens, she will face two things. Either she wakes up one morning and sees a person with the same appearance and the same genetic sequence as herself appearing in the project team as the pilot of Unit-01, or...

Ikari Yui had a private talk with her, hoping that she could give birth soon.

She does have her own opinions and is not one to go with the crowd, but when it comes to such a major event concerning the fate of all mankind, she knows that she will refuse, resist, struggle, and suffer... No matter what the process is, she will definitely compromise in the end and follow the plan to give birth to her and Ikari Fumihiko's offspring, and hand it over to be a pilot.

In order to avoid interference from Ikari Fumihiko, he even teamed up with Ikari Yui to conceal the incident.

This is certainly not for the greater good...

But she had no choice, because she and Fumihiko Ikari could only continue to live if humanity could survive, and the will of the higher-ups was not something she and Fumihiko Ikari could defy.

Once the top management decides to do this, hundreds of think tanks will work together to develop a detailed plan.

The process will be different depending on their choices, but the ending is determined from the beginning.

This time there was no other interference. Although Fumihiko Ikari was a beat slow to react, he still noticed the anxiety that Ibuki Megumi was trying hard to hide.

But he didn't know what Ibuki Emi was worried about.

"what happened?"

After asking, he thought for a while and then asked again.

"Are you worried about the pilot of Unit-01? You don't have to worry about that."

After a brief thought, I finally came up with the right words to comfort me.

"Since the top management has decided to build Unit-01, they must have already made relevant plans. We just need to do our part."

Ibuki Huimi responded without comment.

"Ah."

Resist the desire to talk.

These worries are just my own guesses, they just have the possibility of happening. Speaking them out loud will only make Ikari Fumihiko and myself anxious.

But after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again.

"The experiment that Grandpa had the accident in was an experiment to inject human souls into EVA, right?"

Ikari Fumihiko was not surprised that Ibuki Megumi could guess this.

When I rescued Professor Yamaki, I passively came into contact with some information about soul injection experiments. It is not difficult to deduce these.

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to say anything, Ibuki Huimi spoke again and added.

"Using human souls to artificially interfere with EVA, so that certain people have the driving qualifications, right!?"

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded first, but then he realized what Ibuki Megumi was worried about.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

No wonder he suddenly asked about the driver.

"That plan was just something I made up. You don't have to take it seriously."

The original plan was purely Ikari Fumihiko's nonsense.

Although this is the case, Ibuki Huimi knows that this plan is indeed feasible. After all, she successfully piloted the prototype when she rescued her grandfather.

Without waiting for Ibuki Huimi to say anything, Ikari Fumihiko added another sentence.

"The organization currently does not have the ability to develop a complete prototype, and the top management has no intention of implementing this plan."

Seeing that Ibuki Huimei didn't believe it, he added another sentence.

"If there really was such an arrangement, they would have forced us to reproduce, either openly or secretly. Do you think Ikari has taken any action in this regard? No! The implementation of this plan will take a long time. If there was really such a plan, they would definitely not drag it out like this. They would definitely take some action, hmm...

For example, tampering with condoms.

Or maybe you were secretly made pregnant through artificial insemination while you were in hibernation in the medical cabin and lost consciousness.

None of these have been done. Isn’t that enough to prove the problem?

There is really no need for you to worry.”

In order to appease Ibuki Huimi's emotions, he said a lot in one breath without thinking carefully, and his language seemed a little confusing, but the meaning he wanted to express was clearly expressed.

Perhaps it was because these words had an effect, or perhaps it was because she expressed her anxiety, Ibuki Huimi calmed down a lot at this moment.

"Okay, stop imagining that."

Ibuki Huimi nodded.

After this conversation, time passed quickly in agony. Apart from the difficult days, nothing worth mentioning happened during this period. With the employees working frantically, the construction of Unit-01 was completed half a month ahead of schedule. From project initiation to completion, it took only two and a half months to build Unit-01.

The reason why it was possible to complete it so quickly was not only because we already had experience in building Unit 0, but also because many parts had been produced before the project was launched.

It’s more like assembling than building.

Looking at the Unit-01 not far in front of him, which was exactly the same as the one in the original work, most of the huge figure's torso was still immersed in the LCL liquid, with only the head exposed outside the incubator.

At this moment, Ikari Fumihiko just sighed slightly in his heart.

Fate is really strange...

I am such a jerk, but not only did I create Unit-00, I was also the chief designer of Unit-01.

Apart from this, I feel a sense of regret that these torturous days are finally coming to an end.

At the closing meeting, Ibuki Huimi asked a question that everyone present was concerned about.

"Don't you want to conduct a startup experiment to test it?"

Many of the designs and technologies of Unit-01 did not continue those that had been verified by Unit-00. Although the corresponding model was built using the data collected from Unit-00 and calculated via a computer, the involvement of EVA is too great, and everyone is still a little worried if it is not started for testing.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ikari Fumihiko and Ikari Yui.

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, but just fixed his eyes on Ikari Yui.

Ikari Yui had anticipated this situation, so she slowly explained.

"Recently, we haven't had much rest in order to meet the deadline. That's all for today. Everyone go back and have a good rest. We will start the experiment tomorrow."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused.

I was just about to ask how to conduct the starting experiment without a driver.

He then realized that he had been trapped in the inertial logic that Shinji Ikari was the pilot of Unit-01.

Now that Yui Ikari has not yet injected her soul into Unit-01, theoretically Rei Ayanami can serve as the pilot of Unit-01.

wrong--

Even if it has been injected, Ayanami Rei, as a clone of Ikari Yui, still has the right to drive.

Uh……

But if that were really the case, given the current conflict between the two, Rei Ayanami would definitely resist Ikari Yui. In this case, if Rei Ayanami is not adjusted, it would be difficult for her to deploy the AT force field of Unit-01.

246. Bad Taste

The meeting ended at just after two or three in the afternoon, and there were still two hours before dinner.

Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, they still took advantage of this opportunity to have a good time together. The work for the past month or so was not very heavy for the two of them, but the main thing was that the working hours were too long every day, which made them feel neither in the mood nor in the energy to do anything. Even if they were in the mood and had the energy, they would have to restrain their lust with Rei Ayanami as a light bulb beside them.

I forgot about time because of this.

By the time the two of them reacted, no...it was Ibuki Huimi who reacted.

"It's six o'clock..."

When Ikari Fumihiko heard this, he immediately glanced at the clock and found that it was almost half past six.

"Oops."

On weekdays, I go to the cafeteria with Rei Ayanami to have dinner at five o'clock.

"I won't go. When you're done eating, remember to bring some back for me."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded.

He wanted to put on his clothes and leave, but Ibuki Emi stopped him.

"It's already this late, there's no need to waste a little time. You can at least go out and do some cleaning."

He went to the bathroom to wash off the remaining traces on his body, then ran out in a hurry.

Came to the Unit 0 project team.

From a distance, I could see Rei Ayanami holding her stomach and looking like she was about to die.

Without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to apologize, Rei Ayanami spoke first.

"Lei is hungry."

Ikari Fumihiko explained awkwardly, "Sorry, something happened that delayed me."

Rei Ayanami did not throw a tantrum like a child because of this.

"Hurry up - Li feels that, well, now Li can eat an adult humpback whale."

He was just urging Ikari Fumihiko to set off quickly, and he looked as if he had no worries other than eating.

Ikari Fumihiko's legs felt a little weak, but he still gritted his teeth and followed.

After the two had dinner together, he sent Rei Ayanami back to the Unit-00 project team, and then returned to the Unit-01 project team with the packed meals.

"Wake up, it's time to eat."

Ibuki Huimi lay lazily in the bed, not wanting to move, and spoke in a lazy voice.

"I don't want to move, you come and feed me—"

Fumihiko Ikari felt helpless but there was nothing he could do.

After dinner, Ibuki Huimi collapsed in Ikari Fumihiko's arms.

"Let Li rest in the medical room tonight."

After working hard for a month and a half, she finally had the chance to relax, so naturally she wanted to spend some time alone with her partner.

She added another sentence to make it more convincing.

"Tomorrow we will conduct a startup test of Unit-01, so we need to be in good condition."

Ikari Fumihiko knew what Ibuki Huimi was thinking and had similar thoughts, but he still shook his head.
