I participated in the development of EVA

"Uh?"

Living in a dream? What does this mean?

Ikari Fumihiko glanced at the confused Ueno Kiriha and explained.

"The memories fed back to the Lingbo Network by the main body are the dreams they experienced."

Ueno Kiriha still couldn't understand and was about to continue asking, but the expressions of the Ayanami sisters with brain overload flashed through her mind, and she finally understood what Ikari Fumihiko said.

"Is that so..."

As she murmured to herself, the look of adoration on her face became more intense.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Gone."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded and left the incubation room.

He went straight to the director's office, and as soon as he appeared, Ayanami Rei rushed over with an anxious look on her face.

"Wen Yan, Li can resume training now, right?"

Ikari Fumiyan smiled helplessly.

"Okay, I'll modify your schedule for you."

As soon as a smile appeared on Rei Ayanami's face, he added another sentence.

"Driving training in the morning, and cultural classes in the afternoon."

collapsed.

The smile on Rei Ayanami's face fell again.

"No—Rei really doesn't want to learn how to fill and drain a pool anymore."

The swimming pool is being filled and drained at the same time, how long will it take to be fully filled... This has become her nightmare, and recently she has been dreaming about filling and draining the swimming pool.

Ikari Fumihiko sighed.

"Okay, I won't study math from now on... Is that okay?!"

Ayanami Rei laughed happily again.

Except mathematics, other courses are not difficult for her.

At this time, Ibuki Huimi also put down the documents in her hand, moved closer to Ikari Fumihiko and observed him covertly. She did not find any special traces and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it? Has the problem over there been dealt with?"

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded without noticing Ibuki Megumi's subtle action.

Then he spoke again.

"I'm going to take a shower. Please prepare a change of clothes for me."

He knew that Ibuki Huimi would not ask too many questions, but she still didn't want to talk too much about it, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"it is good."

Like other project teams, the director's office also has a well-equipped lounge.

When Fumihiko Ikari came out of the shower, he saw a pile of test papers in the trash can. It was obvious that after knowing that she would not need to study mathematics in the future, Rei Ayanami threw away all the test papers in her hands as soon as possible. He subconsciously glanced at where Rei Ayanami was and found that she was grinning foolishly.

"Take a look at this document."

Ikari Fumihiko took the document from Ibuki Huimi, flipped it open and took a look, and he realized that this was the hyacinth paper that Dr. Ito was about to publish.

isn't it?

How long has it been since the paper was written?

He asked with some curiosity.

"When was it handed over?"

"Last night, around eight o'clock."

My goodness...isn't this too impatient?

Fumihiko Ikari did not read it carefully, but just glanced through the paper. He believed in Dr. Ito's professional ability.

The only thing that surprised him about the paper was that Dr. Ito left the corresponding author position to him.

The corresponding author is the person responsible for the article, while the first author is the person who executed the article.

He did not provide any help in the Hyacinth Project from beginning to end. The only contribution he made was assembling a neural connection device. Other than that, everything was handled by Dr. Ito alone. During this period, he was just worried that the other party would come to inspect it a few times. Normally, the position of the corresponding author should be Dr. Ito.

however……

Wherever there are people, there are human relationships and worldly wisdom.

17:03:34

289. Still rich and powerful

Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to waste time on this matter, so he didn't make any suggestions for revisions and just replied via text message.

[I have read the paper, so I will post it as it is. ]

【Yes. 】

Dr. Ito replied almost immediately.

This made him a little suspicious, wondering if the other party had not slept all day and had been waiting in front of the phone for news since last night.

After that, he stopped paying attention to this information.

However, the outside world became excited because of the paper published by Dr. Ito. Although the achievements of the Hyacinth Project are indeed amazing, most people are more concerned about the neural connection device that is not mentioned much in the paper. Dr. Ito is not surprised by this situation and even anticipated this result.

No matter what, the success of the Hyacinth Project is based on the neural connection device, which is why she gave up the position of corresponding author.

But having said that, she was still a little depressed when this really happened.

"It's really comfortable to bathe in the sun."

Having not basked in the sun for nearly five years, she almost forgot that in the normal world, the sky above her head was not made of concrete, but the vast sky.

Not only her, but other members of the Hyacinth Project feel the same way.

"Shouldn't it be winter now? Why is it so hot?"

"Idiot! Have you forgotten about the shift in the earth's axis? It will be like this all year long."

"The sky is so blue! The clouds are so white!"

“The sun is so bright today!”

……

A group of people were shouting and yelling. After being underground for nearly five years, they were basking in the sun again. Except for Dr. Ito, most of them could not remain calm.

Originally, according to the plan, they should have reassembled the disassembled equipment as soon as they arrived on the ground. However, including Dr. Ito, everyone made the same choice. They walked out of the room and came to the courtyard of the research institute on the ground, feeling the almost forgotten heat brought by the scorching sun, the stuffiness that was once disliked, and the vastness of the world.

Some people even cried out loud at this moment, out of the joy of reuniting with this world after a long absence, and also because of the memories before the disaster.

Just by basking in the sunshine that they once took for granted, everyone was so intoxicated that they forgot about their business.

“That’s great—”

After a long while, Dr. Ito sighed again, and then regained his mind in the vast world.

"Okay, let's stop here... there's still plenty of time in the future."

Everyone reluctantly followed Dr. Ito back to the research institute.

Now that the entire Hyacinth Project Team has moved above ground, there is no need for them to return to the underground base to live like underground people in the future.

Although everyone returned to the building, their souls were still savoring the vastness of the world.

Seeing this scene, Dr. Ito sighed.

"Forget it, let's stop here for today and get familiar with the environment."

Ok……

She was also unable to concentrate and wanted to walk around and carefully feel the nature that she had reunited with after a long absence.

After wandering around for a while, she returned to the project team and sat in the office chair facing the window.

This is the environment where normal people should live.

He glanced out through the window, sighed in his heart, then turned on the computer in front of him and connected to the outside world. He first opened an internationally authoritative academic forum and browsed through posts related to hyacinths. Most of the conversations were about the neural connection device.

As expected, the doubts raised by her peers about her research results did not appear, which left her with no way to vent the passion that was bubbling in her heart.

She spent the whole day reading the forum, until night fell and the sky above her head was lit up by stars and the bright moon, and her attention shifted from the forum to the night sky.

My mind is swaying in the sea of ​​stars.

Time passed by unnoticed until I began to feel sleepy and then I turned my gaze away from the night sky.

The next day, people were still as excited as ever, and they still found time to get together and discuss the changes in their lives. The new accommodation meant that they no longer had to be crammed together like sardines in a can. Everyone had a separate bedroom and bathroom, and the space for one person was even larger than the five-person dormitory in the underground base.

It was precisely because the accommodation conditions were so poor that a large number of people chose to live in the project team and rely on sleeping bags to survive the difficult five years after the disaster.

Without comparison, there is no feeling.

Life had changed so much that it made them feel like livestock locked in a cage, sardines stuffed in a can... In short, that was not the life a normal person should live. However, compared to those people in the outside world who were living in danger after the second impact and might lose their lives at any time in the chaotic order, such a life was already considered happy.

It was not until two days later that everyone was able to focus on their work, and this also pushed back the official publication date of the paper by one day.

Although the outside world has been stirred up by this paper, this is only part of the content that was known to the academic community during the review stage of the journal. If you want to publish it in a professional journal, you still need to confirm the accuracy of the paper. Normally, this kind of review only requires peer scholars to review it to make a general judgment. However, the Hyacinth Project has taken a new path in vegetative medical treatment, and no one has involved this approach, which has caused the paper to be stuck in the peer review stage.

The journal contacted the peer review environment, rotating many people, which led to the leakage of the paper content to the outside world.

In this situation, Dr. Ito can only prove himself.

That is why the entire Hyacinth project team and equipment were moved from the underground base to the ground research institute.

Although the equipment has been assembled, it is still necessary to test it in advance for safety reasons.

"start up."

As Dr. Ito's order was given, everyone looked nervously at the neural connection device in the room.

The neural connection technology has been invented for nearly three years. The appearance has only been redesigned according to engineering aesthetics, and the internal structure remains unchanged. It is no exaggeration to say that even though many neural connection devices have been assembled so far,... even with complete technical information, there is still no scholar who has fully understood the technology of neural connection devices. They just assemble the equipment according to Fumihiko Ikari's original design.

After a few minutes, the built-in system of the neural connection device completed the self-check and the indicator light indicating normal operation came on.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, everyone knows that the equipment is disassembled and assembled by professionals, so there should be no problems. However, since it concerns future honors, everyone will naturally feel nervous.

After completing the equipment inspection, the review team of the journal arrived one field away.

After the review team got off the car, one of them sighed.

"This institute is not well-known, but I didn't expect it to be so large."

"It's really not small."

Everyone was a worldly-wise scholar, but they had never heard of the name of the Institute of Artificial Evolution before. So before they came, they thought it was just a small institute. That is why they were surprised to see its huge scale after getting off the bus.

17:04:06

290. It’s like suddenly becoming a demolition household

The research institute is just a general term. It does not refer to a single building, but refers to several surrounding experimental buildings.

The Hyacinth Project Team occupies one of the buildings.

This experimental building, unlike the laboratory that ordinary people know, is more like an ordinary hospital, no... it is the inpatient department of a hospital.

Compared to a research institute, this scale is more like a scientific research base.

"Reid, long time no see."

"I can't believe that you not only survived the catastrophe, but also made such a big splash in your first appearance. You're really amazing."

Before the second impact, Dr. Ito had participated in many academic seminars, so he knew one of the review team members.
