I participated in the development of EVA

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko paused, a sentence flashed through his mind, and then he said it out loud.

"I've made up my mind."

"You really know how to cause trouble for others."

"You will be in charge this time."

Ibuki Emi hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.

"All right--"

Fumihiko Ikari walked to the locker room, changed into a diving suit with the help of the staff, and then walked towards the cockpit.

I was scared but also relieved.

If he survived safely, it would prove that the theory was correct. This debugging has reduced the risk to the lowest level, so it would not be so stressful to let other people participate in the experiment. If something unexpected happened... no matter if he got brain tissue damaged and turned into a fool, or lost his life... no matter what happened, it meant one thing, that is, he would no longer have to worry about these things in the future.

022. Directly become a martial arts master of the Xiantian level and fight against Dongfang Bubai? ?

"God bless you."

Fumihiko Ikari smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be the first person to experience such a ridiculous arrangement of Qi Fu.

The decision to conduct the experiment myself was indeed made on impulse.

After returning the diving suit, he calmed down, but did not regret it after hesitating for a moment. As a team leader, no one could stop him from changing his mind. At most, he would lose some face and be gossiped about by others. This was nothing to him. Compared with his life, face was not that important.

He didn't know what the real reason was that kept him from regretting.

Maybe it's guilt.

It may also be that you feel that your mistakes should not be put at risk by others.

Or maybe——

The pressure is too great and I want to seek relief.

No matter what his mood was, he had already entered the cockpit and locked the door by turning the wheel.

"It's not too late for you to regret it now."

Faced with Ibuki Emi's question, Ikari Fumihiko's mind wavered for a moment, but then he became firm.

"No need, just inject LCL - I haven't received any training, so I need time to adapt. I hope I won't be as embarrassed as you."

Ibuki Emi gave the order in a bad mood.

"Inject LCL and choke him to death."

Instead of accepting the order and taking action immediately, everyone stared at Fumihiko Ikari on the big screen.

Ibuki Megumi was just an outsider who was temporarily transferred from other projects, and Ikari Fumihiko was the general manager of this project team.

"I didn't realize you have such a high reputation in the team."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't see the scene, but after hearing these words, combined with the fact that Ibuki Emi didn't respond to her previous orders, he knew the situation on the scene.

"Do as she says. She will be in charge of the entire experiment."

Ibuki Emi said to everyone.

"Did you hear me? Start the device, inject LCL, and act quickly, gogogo——"

Everyone hesitated for a moment before acting according to the instructions. After all, the person participating in the experiment this time was the project leader.

"Injection has begun, current progress is 1%... 15%... 45%... injection completed, volunteer 03 has no abnormalities in body function... no abnormalities in neural connection... no abnormalities in LCL power... no abnormalities in communication system detection."

As the lcl was injected, even though he knew in his heart that he could breathe freely in the lcl liquid, Ikari Fumihiko still instinctively held his breath at the first moment, and adjusted himself before trying to breathe in the lcl. Apart from some psychological and sensory discomfort, he did not feel anything special. If he had to say something, it was that he felt a three-dimensional feeling when breathing.

It didn't take long to completely adapt to this state.

So this is what it feels like for a baby to be in the womb...

The composition of lcl liquid is similar to the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb. It is not wrong to say that soaking in lcl is returning to the mother's womb.

The novel experience made his mind wander a little.

If I know some kind of cultivation technique, can I use LCL liquid to reverse my innate nature and directly become an innate-level martial arts master to compete with Dongfang Bubai? ?

Uh--

The person who was to decide the winner made the wrong jump.

When the experiment started, Ibuki Emi became serious.

"Your brain activity is a bit high right now."

"Nothing, just some random thoughts."

“Adjust your emotions, calm your thoughts, reduce brain activity as much as possible, and don’t add extra burden to your brain.”

"receive."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what to do and could only try hard to stop himself from thinking too much.

It took a long time to succeed.

"Very good, continue to stay where you are and get ready for me to open the link."

"Ah."

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

"Relax a little."

"Ah."

That being said, the volunteer from the previous experiment is still lying in the intensive care unit with his life or death unknown. How could Fumihiko Ikari not be nervous in this situation?

"Two-way link activated."

As the voice fell, the CRT display in front of Fumihiko Ikari gradually lit up.

I didn't feel anything when I watched this scene on the big screen in the command room before, but now it feels a bit funny. In the experimental research that can be described as magical, they actually used CRT, an antique display that has long been eliminated. Well... CRT displays were still the mainstream in this era, and LCD display technology was not yet mature.

While I was daydreaming, a picture like a paste appeared on the screen.

But the picture soon became clear and reached the upper limit of the monitor's resolution.

At the same time, he also had a very strange feeling, as if a part of his body was being stretched, extending outward along something, and merging with something.

Is this what it's like to drive an EVA?

Fumihiko Ikari felt as if he had an extra body. No, it was an incomplete extra body.

The outline of EVA became clear in my mind.

"Genius! You are a genius!"

After hearing Ibuki Emi's nonsensical words, Ikari Fumihiko asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just as you predicted, the EVA consciousness resistance in this experiment is weaker than in the previous two experiments. Now the values ​​have stabilized after approaching the peak value and have not continued to rise. They are within a safe range... Judging from the current situation, you might be the so-called adapter, a human with the same blood as EVA."

Ikari Fumihiko was somewhat surprised by this.

Can I connect normally without installing the restraint device EVA? Isn't this the benefit of being a time traveler?

Driving skills ex?

The strongest EVA pilot?

Without the slap in the face of reality, he was the first to wake up from his past life experiences.

Ha ha……

Wake up and stop daydreaming!

The current situation only proves that his guess was correct. The original book chose a fourteen-year-old boy as the driver because the younger the person, the more compatible he is with EVA.

"We are one step closer to success. Now I begin to believe..."

Ibuki Emi was saying something excitedly, but Ikari Fumihiko interrupted her.

"Calm down! I'm going to try some controls next. Pay attention to the values. If anything unexpected happens, turn off the power at any time."

After hearing what Ikari Fumihiko said, Ibuki Emi forced herself to calm down and her expression became serious again.

"Be cautious."

"I won't joke about my life."

That being said, the act of trying to control EVA is actually very dangerous.

Take a deep breath of LCL liquid and try to control EVA's eyes to look in other directions.

The field of vision shifted slightly and then a warning sound was heard.

"The voltage is abnormal and is about to exceed the safety threshold."

Ikari Fumihiko stopped immediately.

"now what?"

"The voltage has returned to normal."

It was not until then that Fumihiko Ikari remembered a key point. The EVA in Laboratory No. 1 only had a skull and a part of the exposed cervical vertebrae, but without the red core that was the source of power.

I felt relieved when I thought of this.

The power core is the most dangerous part of EVA.

"The concentration of LCl in the incubator can only ensure the survival of EVA. It cannot provide additional energy. The manipulation can only be postponed for testing."

Hearing Ibuki Emi's judgment, Ikari Fumihiko immediately nodded in agreement.

"Now we can only test how long this state can remain stable."

Ibuki Emi is obviously not satisfied with the status quo and wants to achieve more results.

"Can this device provide additional power to the device?"

Apparently he realized that Fumihiko Ikari's manipulation of EVA's eye movements was the cause of the voltage abnormality.

"This is a link device, not an energy device. Excessive current will burn out the entire device."

This is not a lie by Fumihiko Ikari.

The mental link device cannot withstand excessive voltage.

"Okay... I thought things were too simple."

023. If you don’t work overtime until you die suddenly, you won’t be allowed to take a rest after get off work, right?

To Fumihiko Ikari's surprise, EVA did not regain consciousness for two hours.

Everyone showed a look of surprise.

Ibuki Emi asked, "Have we succeeded?"

Fumihiko Ikari felt that things were definitely not that simple. If EVA was really easy to control, there would not have been the additional operation of placing a human soul into the core of EVA in the original work.

The real difficulty in controlling the power of EVA lies in controlling the core.

"No, it's just an incomplete body."

Ibuki Emi felt that this was just Fumihiko Ikari being humble, to prevent everyone from becoming complacent and slacking off in subsequent work.

"It has been going on for two and a half hours. Do we need to continue the stress test?"

LCL liquid not only ensures breathing, but also provides the nutrients needed by the human body so that it will not feel hungry.

Therefore, two hours passed and Fumihiko Ikari felt no physical discomfort, but... he couldn't hold back the urge to urinate, and he didn't want to experience the original soup and original food again.

"That's not necessary. I need to go to the bathroom. Please check the equipment and let the next person do the follow-up test."

"Well, okay—"
