I participated in the development of EVA

"Correct."

"What do you think after reading the report?"

"The person who proposed this experiment should be taken out and shot to pay the price for his stupidity."

This answer surprised Naoko Akagi a little.

"Why do you have such an idea? I thought you would support such a radical experiment."

"???"

What on earth gave you the illusion that I would support this experiment?

and many more……

Could it be that the previous group took the risk of conducting human experiments? This plan was proposed by Ibuki Emi, and I only participated in it to reduce casualties!

"I have always been against such radical experiments, not to mention that such experiments are carried out recklessly without thorough research. They are simply treating human lives as consumables in exchange for data."

Of course, there are still some words that I have not said, that is...

If someone hadn't acted recklessly at the beginning, the third impact would not have occurred.

The institute appears calm on the surface, but in reality it is divided into two factions: radical and traditional.

The radicals are just like this experiment, they are willing to sacrifice as many people as possible as long as it can speed up the development of Project E. The traditionalists are not firmly opposed to human experiments, but they believe that relevant human experiments should be conducted under the premise of ensuring the safety of the experimenters, and anti-human research such as cloning should not be initiated unless it is absolutely necessary.

Naoko Akagi belongs to the traditional school.

"Then why did you remain silent during the previous meeting when others proposed radical plans?"

???

During the previous meeting, I lacked confidence, so of course I had to remain silent and reduce my presence. Of course, I had to keep these words in my heart.

“It was my first time attending a meeting like that, so I was a little nervous.”

Naoko Akagi nodded without comment and did not dwell on this topic any further.

"In order to prevent these people from continuing to mess around, I hope you can participate in the construction of the test machine."

During this period of time, Fumihiko Ikari has been working hard to digest the original owner's knowledge. After all, a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. However, his own foundation is a bit poor, and he has just started to learn university knowledge. The successful development of the previous neural connection device was basically a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Even now, he still hasn't figured out the operating principle of this device and still only has a vague understanding of it.

Of course he won't expose this.

"What are you going to do?"

It is too dangerous to leave the neural connection device in the hands of those mentally ill guys. It is best to get it back if possible.

"You're an expert on this."

Are you fucking kidding me?

You just said you wanted me to cooperate with you, how come now you have to cooperate with me? ?

However, before Ikari Fumihiko could say what to write, Akagi Naoko took out another file bag and pushed it over.

I opened the file bag and looked down at the contents of the paper document. There was not much information, but I could tell that it was a design draft of the EVA testing machine.

Only then did I realize that I had misunderstood. Of course, it was mainly because what Naoko Akagi said was easy to be misunderstood.

After reading it carefully, his brows furrowed.

"Isn't there too little core information on it?"

"That's all the useful information there is. Most of the information in the relevant databases is repetitive and meaningless data."

"What's the difference between this and zero foundation..."

The only valid information is an internal anatomy diagram, and the rest are all guesses about the core.

That’s right! It’s just a guess.

All of them can only be verified through indirect evidence, lack key proof, and cannot be confirmed or refuted.

It is not an exaggeration to say that I have zero foundation.

"We don't need to fully understand it, as long as we have a basic understanding and find ways to apply it... Let's leave these studies to future scholars!" When saying this, Naoko Akagi's tone revealed a sense of powerlessness. EVA is really too mysterious and hides too many secrets. The current level is already the limit of what science can achieve.

Only at this moment did Ikari Fumihiko understand.

Why is the research and development work of EVA always so simple and crude, just like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse by chance?

It’s not that we don’t want to strengthen basic research, but——

Can't do it!

"I've always been curious about why Eva is in human form."

"Didn't you participate in the experiment?"

Ikari Fumihiko's heart immediately tightened. It was over! How could he have neglected——

Urgent remedy.

“I don’t know much.”

Fortunately, Naoko Akagi did not doubt anything. She sighed helplessly and said in a slightly strange manner, "I don't know... At the beginning, we just tried to cultivate cells without any interference. With today's technology, we are not able to interfere. Even the successful cultivation was only achieved by relying on LCL, a magical liquid similar to amniotic fluid."

He took two sips of coffee and added.

"There's no need to waste too much time on these minor details. There's no time to study so many of them. Just like ordinary people using computers, you don't have to think about the operating principles, you just need to use them."

There was something that Naoko Akagi didn't say, but Fumihiko Ikari had already understood the message it contained.

Because he has heard this sentence many times since he traveled through time.

There is not much time left for humans now.

Even though there are great hidden dangers in doing so, we have to do it.

Human beings have no choice from the beginning to the end.

"It's not good to give up like this, right? After all, these are the foundation, and subsequent development also depends on them."

Naoko Akagi patiently answered Fumihiko Ikari's questions.

"At this stage, either the technology is not up to par or the conditions do not allow it. Many theories cannot be verified and can only remain in the conjecture stage."

As long as the conversation is academic, she is very patient and willing to communicate.

That's why Ritsuko Akagi studies with books all day long, just so she can talk more with her mother.

"Having said so much, it's time to get back to the point."

A bad premonition came to my mind.

"You don't want me to solve the driver's problem, do you?"

Although it was not said explicitly, the intention was expressed.

"There is already a solution to this problem. Your main task now is to improve the control system and cockpit design. Of course, if you have other ideas, you can also bring them up."

"I don't have that ability... What!? Solved??!"

At this moment, a thin figure flashed through Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

Ayanami Rei——

wrong!

He is a clone of the Awa series created by combining the Second Angel's cells with Ikari Yui's genes, and is the suitable pilot for Unit-00.

027. I understand the truth, but I am just a fake...ah——

It shouldn't be...

Is the Lingbo series available so early?!

Thinking of this, the information about Rei Ayanami in the original work flashed through my mind, trying to find the answer.

however……

This aspect is not mentioned in the original plot.

Fumihiko Ikari thought of the original work where the test machine was completed in 2003 and the start-up experiment of Unit-2004 was carried out in . These two facts made him feel that the Ayanami series clones might have been born.

Naoko Akagi has been observing Fumihiko Ikari.

His expression was still expressionless, but one could see the changes in his heart from some details.

"Oh, it seems... you have thought of a solution?"

When she said this, her tone revealed an unconcealed surprise, because she still hadn't figured out how to solve the driver's problem.

Adding too much Longinus alloy can suppress EVA's consciousness to ensure the driver's safety, but doing so will weaken EVA's power and it is likely to turn it into a giant humanoid toy. Not to mention fighting against the apostles, even against tanks it would not have much chance of winning. According to the adaptability model established by Fumihiko Ikari and the data provided by the startup test, the power that a natural person can control is very limited.

Anything less will cause the pilot to be broken down into his or her basic life form, creating a completely uncontrollable monster.

...Are all people with the last name Ikari monsters?

Ikari Yui thought of a solution, and now Ikari Fumihiko has also thought of a solution.

wrong--

This Ikari Fumihiko is even more shocking.

Ikari Yui studied for a long time and came up with a solution only after knowing more comprehensive information, while Ikari Fumihiko came up with a solution as soon as he solved some key information.

Naoko Akagi's question woke Fumihiko Ikari from his thoughts.

He quickly suppressed his guess.

"No, I'm just surprised... How can this problem be solved?"

"I don't know the specifics."

Feeling the gaze cast at him by Naoko Akagi, Fumihiko Ikari broke out in a cold sweat.

no--

Have to change the subject.

A topic that Naoko Akagi would be interested in. Oh, by the way... the Three Sages biological supercomputer. In the original work, she developed this three-in-one parallel supercomputer.

"It would be a bit of a waste to just transform it into a biological weapon."

"Ok?"

Naoko Akagi has always had this idea, but she was too busy with work and had no time to study it.

"If such a large brain could be transformed into a biological computer, it would surely trigger a computer revolution."

"I have the same idea, but unfortunately... the development of the test machine takes up too much time, and I can't spare any extra time for this kind of research."

Compared with the research and development of EVA, Naoko Akagi prefers the research direction of biological supercomputing.

“There should be follow-up research in this area.”

"The prerequisite is that the test machine is successfully developed. Only then will we have the spare capacity to do research in this area."

Naoko Akagi glanced at the time. Two hours had passed without her realizing it. It was almost time to end this conversation.

"That's it! Get ready, get the design ready as soon as possible."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

The design plan is a difficult problem for others, but it is not difficult at all for him. He just needs to follow the design in the original book.

When she reached the door, Naoko Akagi stopped as if she had thought of something.

"What you did last time was stupid, you shouldn't have risked your life.

Of course, this does not mean that you are nobler than them, but that each of us has different responsibilities and naturally has different things to do. Your job is to speed up the research and development progress of Plan E. Even if you really don't want to live, you should be like Professor Ishida, turning your grief and anger into strength to complete your work conscientiously, and eventually die suddenly at your workplace.

Contribute your own little bit of strength to human civilization, rather than wasting your own talents on impulse. "

However, it was because Fumihiko Ikari used himself as an experiment out of guilt that Naoko Akagi changed her impression of him.

otherwise……

This time she would definitely not communicate with Ikari Fumihiko for so long, and would only adopt a businesslike attitude.

wanna die?
