I participated in the development of EVA

Naoko Akagi didn't care about these.

"If you really want to help, help me complete the tasks within your professional scope."

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it and felt that there should be no problem in this regard.

"it is good."

"I'll send you the draft design. Never mind... let's change seats."

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari came to Naoko Akagi's seat and looked at the half-edited design concept map on the screen. He searched in his mind the appearance of the Three Wise Men system in the original work, as well as the basic theory of the Three Wise Men he had just read. He thought about it in combination with his own academic knowledge to make sure he could accept it before he started.

After throwing the design drawings to Fumihiko Ikari, Naoko Akagi left the office directly.

Ikari Fumihiko noticed this scene.

Uh--

Am I being conscripted?

He shook his head helplessly.

The three wise men are still in the theoretical stage, and only need a rough basic framework at this stage. His draft style is completely different from the meticulous and meticulous Akagi Naoko. The main feature is a stream of consciousness. He just roughly confirms the basic framework, and leaves the detailed data such as specific specifications to the project team members to complete.

It only took one hour to complete the subsequent design draft.

As he walked out of the office, he saw the project team members operating a forklift to transport a brand new EVA brain in. He went straight to Naoko Akagi.

"It's done."

Although Naoko Akagi had worked with Fumihiko Ikari before, she had never seen the design drafts drawn by Fumihiko Ikari, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Isn't it enough time just to think?! ?

She believed in Ikari Fumihiko's academic level, so she did not question it, but just thought that Ikari Fumihiko was incredibly talented.

"Then hold a meeting and assign the work."

"Oh."

The two men came to the conference room and immediately ordered someone to gather the core members of the project team.

Naoko Akagi projected the design draft onto the big screen. Looking at the second half completed by Fumihiko Ikari, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

“Is that how you designed it?”

"Correct."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't think there was anything wrong with this, as Unit-0 and Unit-01 were created in this way.

Naoko Akagi felt a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would not have let Fumihiko Ikari take over. However, now that all the people have been gathered, she can't just let them go back without doing anything. Fortunately, although the design draft completed by Fumihiko Ikari was a bit sloppy, there were no problems with the main basic framework, and the specific data could be completed later.

17:07:12

296. You are indeed my

Naoko Akagi assigned the work.

The person who took over the first half of the design draft was smiling, while the person who took over the second half was frowning.

"This……"

They had long been accustomed to the work style of doing everything according to Naoko Akagi's rigorous design drafts, but now they were somewhat uncomfortable asking them to participate in the design.

Seeing the embarrassed looks on the faces of the organization members, Naoko Akagi felt a little headache and was thinking about whether to go back to the design draft and redo it.

Fumihiko Ikari, however, only asked one question.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No."

Each of them is well-educated, and it is not too difficult for them to complete the task at hand. However, they are a little nervous as they have never done this before, and they lack confidence and worry that they will not be able to do it well.

"That's it then—

The meeting is over! "

Everyone knew Ikari Fumihiko's identity and thought that the director had already taken over the project team, so when they heard him say to adjourn the meeting, everyone left their seats without asking Naoko Akagi's opinion.

"You are really lazy."

Fumihiko Ikari would naturally not admit that he was being lazy.

"This is not laziness, but giving them a sense of participation. They are not elementary school students who know nothing. They need to be taught how to do things step by step."

Naoko Akagi looked at Fumihiko Ikari suspiciously, unable to tell whether what he said was true or not, and she didn't want to argue with Fumihiko Ikari about these things.

"It should have already started over there... Let's go over and take a look at the situation."

"Ah."

The two left the meeting room and came to the command room.

Through the screen, I watched the doctor performing a frontal lobe removal operation in the dust-free operating room. Eva's brain structure is similar to that of humans. In theory, the frontal lobe should have the same function as humans and is the area where "consciousness" is located. What needs to be done now is not to completely remove the entire frontal lobe, but to remove the area related to emotions and then replace it with a simulated personality.

There is a lack of relevant research data in the archives, and no one knows which part is the area that controls emotions. We can only understand the EVA brain based on the knowledge of the human brain mastered by modern science.

Finding the emotional area is not the most troublesome part. The most troublesome thing is that the personality transplantation technology remains in the theoretical stage and has not yet been verified.

That is to say, even if the right place is cut, there may be errors in the personality transplant technology.

Fortunately, EVA brains can be cultivated autonomously, and you can have as many as you want. Moreover, their vitality is strong enough to reduce the difficulty of surgery, making it less troublesome to handle.

This is destined to be a long project of exploration and verification.

Maybe it was because he played too many card-drawing games in his previous life, so now when he encounters something related to probability, Fumihiko Ikari always subconsciously wants to study metaphysics.

"Should we ask Yae to come over and pray?"

Naoko Akagi was a little confused.

"Yae? Pray?"

Please!

We are doing science! Why do you always want to practice feudal superstition?

Without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to persuade her again, she spoke again.

"it is good."

Although she is not superstitious, she does not object to Ikari Fumihiko's metaphysical behavior.

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised by this. There were various shrines everywhere in Japan, and people were more receptive to metaphysics and had no concept of feudal superstition, otherwise the emperor would have been abolished long ago.

I called Ibuki Huimi directly.

"What happened?"

He didn't have the contact information of Yae Kiriko, who was forced to change her job from a scientist to a shrine maiden, so he could only ask Ibuki Keimi to contact her.

"Help me find Yae Kiriko."

"You really haven't changed at all. You always want to mix metaphysics into science."

"hehe."

In response to Ibuki Huimi's teasing, Ikari Fumihiko gave a dry laugh.

"I remember that the project you are currently involved in is so confidential. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to transfer her there?"

"It's okay. We'll need to pray for a long time in the future. Well, after we pray, we can also let her help out in the project team. We just happen to be short of manpower here."

"You really are good at ordering people around. Okay... I'll let her know later. Oh, by the way, should I wait for you for dinner tonight?"

"no need."

We chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Not long after, Yae Kiriko, wearing a shrine maiden's costume, hurried over. Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Has the miko costume become your casual clothes now?"

Yae Kiriko nodded with a complicated expression.

"Yes."

Ever since Fumihiko Ikari started the trend of metaphysics, she now spends almost every day praying for various things.

"What are you praying for this time?"

“This is what’s on the screen.”

Looking at the exposed brain on the screen, Yae Kiriko's face turned a little pale, and it took her a moment to calm down before she came back to her senses.

"it is good."

Naoko Akagi spoke up from the side.

"There's no need to start from this stage. Just pray when you verify it later."

Yae Kiriko looked at Akagi Naoko with gratitude.

However, Ikari Fumihiko knew that Yae Kiriko had misunderstood. Akagi Naoko was not concerned about her, but just felt that praying step by step was too cumbersome.

Yae Kiriko has a high level of subjective initiative.

"I have a good luck charm here... It seems to be quite effective. Do you want to try it?"

"You are really becoming more and more professional. You even learned how to make talismans."

Yae Kiriko smiled shyly.

There was a period of time when she was so busy that she felt she had no time to spare. After telling her troubles to her friends, they suggested that she learn how to make talismans. She then applied for relevant books and taught herself how to make talismans.

As for whether it works or not?

She is a biology graduate student, not an orthodox witch. She knows nothing about making talismans. She is just copying others.

The main purpose is psychological comfort.

Fumihiko Ikari looked at Naoko Akagi, asking for her opinion.

Naoko Akagi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Let's disinfect it with ultraviolet light before sending it over."

Yae Kiriko took out a large pile of talisman papers from her pocket.

"Is this enough?"

Ikari Fumihiko took a look and mentally retracted his previous compliment.

Are you kidding me? You're a Japanese shrine maiden, and you don't study amulets, so why are you dealing with Taoist talismans?

Yae Kiriko was actually also helpless. To make the amulet, she had to place a wooden plaque with the name of the god inside it. However, she was told by Ikari Fumihiko that what they were worshipping was the concept of EVA, not eight hundred gods, and there was no specific name. She didn't know how to do it, and after hesitating for a while, she decided to make something that sounded powerful, and finally chose the Taoist talisman for changing luck and increasing fortune.

Naoko Akagi had no idea about this, so she didn't notice anything unusual.

“Draw some more.”

"Isn't this enough?"

"Well, let's make 100 for now. We'll see if they're not enough."

Yae Kiriko was stunned.

One hundred?

"It's used once per surgery, and if you're lucky, you can get results with a hundred samples."

"..."

Yae Kiriko wanted to say, can't we use them sparingly? Just post a few in the operating room as a token of our respect, but Ikari Fumihiko was her direct superior, so she could only nod helplessly with a bitter face.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little speechless.

"Isn't it just a hundred talismans? Is it necessary to be so painful?"

"..."

Yae Kiriko didn't say anything, but just looked a little aggrieved.

Fumihiko Ikari seemed to understand Yae Kiriko's difficulties.
