I participated in the development of EVA

"Which part is wrong?"

"I'm not sure. We need to analyze the feedback data to know the answer."

"how long?"

"It depends."

While speaking, Naoko Akagi had already begun analyzing the feedback backflow data. Although the garbled code was confusing, the content was repetitive and monotonous.

It was not long before she spoke again.

"It's roaring. Well, to be more precise, it's roaring instructions. You can also understand it as being angry."

"So the excision failed?"

As he said this, Fumihiko Ikari thought of something else.

In the original work, it is a puppet system that can control EVA instead of the driver.

It is possible that I had misunderstood before. The puppet system is not an extension of Lingbo Network, but a technology extended from the Three Sages System.

At this moment, Naoko Akagi did not feel too much emotional.

"Ah."

Research is a process of continuous trial and error correction, just like a blind person walking on an unfamiliar road, with no blind path to guide the direction. He can only explore bit by bit. It is rare for someone to succeed in one go, as Fumihiko Ikari did.

307. A good start

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before asking.

"According to Eva's vitality, this brain can still be recycled, right?!"

"Theoretically, it is possible, but a scholar module has been implanted in its brain. Currently, there is no technology to remove the impact of the module on it, which will affect subsequent research."

Ikari Fumihiko said nothing more.

The reason he wanted to recycle waste was not because he had any sympathy for the biological brain like Rei Ayanami. He, like Naoko Akagi and others, regarded the biological brain as an ordinary component. He did not want to save money for the top management. The reason he recycled waste was because he was worried that the subsequent supply of biological brains would not be able to keep up with the experimental consumption, thus wasting time.

"Destroy it."

As Naoko Akagi's voice fell, the person guarding the biological brain device pressed the destroy button.

A special dissolving liquid is injected into it to directly dissolve the still-raging brain.

"Recover the device and install the second brain."

This order was issued by Fumihiko Ikari.

Everyone took action, and Naoko Akagi checked the procedure again.

Previously, the device had to load data when it was started for the first time, but this process is no longer necessary.

However, the results of this experiment were not as good as the first one.

"Personality writing failed. Unable to successfully establish a link."

Although Ikari Fumihiko felt a little bad, he was not surprised by this and calmly gave orders according to the procedures.

"Record the data, abandon the scholars' writing, and test whether other personalities can write."

No one thinks that changing a personality will lead to success, and no one can be sure that changing a personality will not necessarily lead to success, so this is a necessary process.

"Command input failed, mother write failed."

"…The woman failed to write."

Fumihiko Ikari looked at Naoko Akagi who was collecting data.

"How to deal with this?"

"Record the data, destroy the biological brain, continue with the subsequent verification, and modify the subsequent transformation plan."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded and directed everyone to destroy Brain No. 2 and install Brain No. 3.

The experiment has been repeated twice, and everyone is familiar with the process. In the future, Fumihiko Ikari no longer needs to issue specific instructions, but only needs to deal with unexpected situations.

He did not relax because of this, but took time to continue reading the information about the Three Sages.

The situations of the subsequent biological brains were similar to that of No. 2, and the personality could not be written. This did not frustrate everyone, but instead made them excited, because this proved that the transformation plan of No. 1's brain involved a writing area. It can also be understood that this area caused the writing failure. This was a very significant achievement and confirmed the research plan for everyone.

There is also one less problem to solve.

When Ikari Fumihiko learned about this situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

“This is a good start.”

"Ah."

It took three full days to complete the verification work on the forty or so biological brains that had been modified. The situations of these biological brains were the same as those of brain No. 2. There was no response when the program was written into them, as if they were facing a dead object. This actually saved everyone a lot of time. Otherwise... if each biological brain had different situations, it would have wasted a lot of time.

During these three days, Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi worked almost non-stop. When they couldn't bear it anymore, they took turns to rest and quickly recover their energy in the medical cabin.

Just as he was about to start verifying the new renovation plan, Fumihiko Ikari received another call from Ibuki Megumi.

"How are things going over there? Tomorrow is the end of the year."

"I remember there were still ten days left until the end of the year. How come it's the end of the year tomorrow?"

Fumihiko Ikari has been focusing on the Three Wise Men project lately and has no time to pay attention to the passage of time. In fact, even if he noticed this day, he would not care too much. After all, this so-called New Year is not the New Year he had imagined. He just wanted to add more color to the lives of Ayanami Rei and Ibuki Megumi, so he insisted on arranging a bonfire party every year to celebrate.

Without waiting for Ibuki Huimi to say anything, he spoke again.

"My experiment is at a critical point. Um, please make arrangements according to previous years... Team Leader Akagi and I will be there before evening."

"okay."

Ibuki Huimi didn't say much, just responded simply and expressed concern.

"Don't work too hard, and make sure to rest."

"Ah."

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko hang up the phone, Akagi Naoko frowned and said something.

"You can just go there tomorrow. I won't go."

Fumihiko Ikari actually has the same idea as Naoko Akagi on this matter. If the experiment reaches a bottleneck and the correct direction is not found, it doesn't matter. But now that the direction has been found, maybe the next experiment will be successful. At this critical moment, he naturally doesn't want to waste time on other things. It's just that he is not as pure as Naoko Akagi. Compared with research, he cares more about his family.

"Even if you don't rest, let others rest. It will only take one night at most. There's no need to rush."

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything, obviously disagreeing.

"It's been a year, you should at least spare some time to spend with Ritsuko, right?"

Akagi Naoko was a little shaken.

But her daughter did shake her, but not enough.

"When the research is finished, I will find time to accompany her then."

Ikari Fumihiko sighed secretly. The mother-daughter relationship between Akagi Naoko and Akagi Ritsuko is indeed better than in the original work, but only a little better.

Since he couldn't convince Naoko emotionally, he could only start from other aspects. "How about this... If there is no new progress in the follow-up research from now on, stay there for one night and have a good rest. If there is new progress, show up and have dinner with everyone, and then come back to continue the research."

Naoko Akagi didn't want to waste too much time on this matter, and nodded helplessly.

"Ok."

While the two were talking, the optimized second batch of transformation plans had been assembled, and everyone was waiting for the results with bated breath.

"Number 02-1 biological brain test experiment started, personality writing successful! Activating the operation program... Activation failed, the reason is unknown——"

Although the subsequent program activation failed, everyone was still excited. Now as long as they could successfully write the personality, it would be considered a success. This was equivalent to the foundation of a house. Later on, they only needed to build the house a little bit by a little trial and error. If they were lucky enough, the next experiment might be successful.

"No. 02-2...Written successfully...Activated successfully...Operation request sent...Sent failed, reason unknown——"

"Activation failed..."

"Operation request passed... Backflow detected, collecting backflow garbled code... Backflow exceeded the limit and activated the detection device... The link has been automatically cut off..."

Faced with these repeated failures, everyone's facial expressions did not change much, so each failure could provide feedback with different data. Although it is not possible to fully analyze these data now, as long as enough data is collected, a relevant database can be established to have a clear understanding of the biological brain... and even fully analyze the mysteries of the biological brain.

308, Now That We Are Here (Chapter )

Perhaps it was because my luck ran out, and subsequent verification did not produce any results that could be considered groundbreaking.

But that’s how scientific research works…

Naoko Akagi was very patient and did not show any impatience. The same was true for the others, including Fumihiko Ikari.

Until Ibuki Huimi called again.

"It's almost evening, can you still come on time today?"

"what?"

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. During this time, he seemed to have taken a break.

"It's the end of the year already?"

"Well, not only is it the end of the year, it will be dark in an hour."

"I'll be there right away."

Although he said this, he actually didn't want to leave in his heart. Compared with the orientation, he wanted to stay in the project team and use this time to do a few more verifications. Realizing this, he himself was a little confused as to why he was unknowingly indulging in this repetitive and boring task.

When Naoko Akagi saw that Fumihiko Ikari was distracted after returning from the bathroom, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

"What are you thinking about? Do you have any ideas you want to try? Or do you have any thoughts?"

It was obvious that Naoko Akagi had also forgotten about the orientation.

"No, it's getting dark, we should set off to the camp."

"what?"

Naoko Akagi was also stunned for a moment and asked back subconsciously.

"Isn't it tomorrow?"

Fumihiko Ikari did not explain, but took out his cell phone and let the other party look at the calendar displayed on the screen.

Naoko Akagi was silent for a moment before she spoke.

"I won't go. I'm not in the mood to get involved in these things until I finish my research."

"At least I have to go there to have a meal. I will be back in about two hours at most. Let my brain relax a little. Maybe I can get some inspiration when I come back."

Let alone two hours, she didn't want to waste even a minute.

"You'd better go on your own."

"You haven't had a good meal with Ritsuko this year, right? Um... Ritsuko's friend was also present at the bonfire party this year. If you didn't show up, Ritsuko's friend would think you hate her, so you didn't go... You don't want Ritsuko to lose this friend she worked so hard to make, right!?"

After he finished speaking, Fumihiko Ikari stopped talking and just looked at Naoko Akagi silently. If this still didn't convince the other party, he would stop trying to persuade her.

Naoko Akagi frowned and looked hesitant, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I'll be back after dinner."

The two men gave a brief instruction and then got up and left. This had been repeated many times before, so the experiment did not end because of their departure.

"Let's go there by helicopter."

Naoko Akagi didn't want to waste time on the dry road.

Ikari Fumihiko did not refute.

Either of them has the authority to temporarily requisition helicopters. Of course, the most important thing is that the outside world lifted the regional flight ban half a year ago.

The journey took more than half an hour by car, but only a few minutes by helicopter.

Hearing the noise outside, everyone in the hotel stood up and went to the door.

Looking at the helicopter gradually descending overhead, Misato Katsuragi was a little bit unbelievable.

"This is too exaggerated..."
