I participated in the development of EVA

"It seems that you still don't understand what I mean. Remembering something doesn't mean you can do it. It's just like there are some truths that everyone knows but may not be able to do. Well, to put it simply, you can't look at biological computers with traditional computer logic."

"So what do you think we should do?"

“You can try to teach it.”

As he spoke, Fumihiko Ikari sent the formula 1+1=2 to the biological brain.

1+1=2

Then send the question again and let the biological brain give the answer.

2

Seeing this result, everyone's eyes lit up.

“Oh my god!? I figured it out!!”

"Are we...about to succeed?"

"It's just as the director said. The biological brain has not learned the knowledge stored in the memory area."

“Is this considered a prototype now?”

……

Everyone started talking excitedly, except Akagi Naoko, who lowered her head and thought for a long time before speaking.

"I think I understand. The stored knowledge is all overlapping. It doesn't understand the meaning of arithmetic, so it keeps giving wrong questions."

"Then why do you give different answers every time?"

"Maybe the memory storage is special, the order is not fixed..."

Fumihiko Ikari interrupted what Naoko Akagi was about to say.

"In that case, the answer received previously should be garbled, or it should be that the question was not understood."

"You mean it was thinking about the correct answer?"

"Correct."

Ikari Fumihiko paused here before speaking again.

"In fact, if we build the Three Sages framework, we don't have to do anything. We just ask questions and let them compare with each other. This way, the learning speed should be faster."

Naoko Akagi nodded first, then shook her head.

"That's the truth, but didn't you notice it before? Was it too slow to answer? Well, in other words, it reacted too slowly."

"Maybe he was just digesting the knowledge."

As Fumihiko Ikari said this, he sent the question to the biological brain again.

The biological brain gave the correct answer, but the reaction time was as high as 13 seconds.

After trying dozens of times, the reaction time remained at around 13 seconds.

Transfer speed too slow?

Or did transcoding take too long?

Thinking of this, he checked the detailed records and found that the time taken up by the two was almost negligible. These ten seconds were basically occupied by the biological brain's thinking.

Naoko Akagi also saw this situation.

"It's possible that the thinking process took up the reaction time, but it's more likely that the neurons were damaged, causing its thinking to slow down."

Although she had just solved the calculation problem and now had a new problem, she was in a much better mood now that she had achieved such a breakthrough. She even joked with Ikari Fumihiko, "Well, you can also understand that the IQ has been affected. Now this biological brain is an idiot."

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help but laugh and said something along those lines.

"It's possible that he's a moron, eh, and a big fool at that."

The project members who had been trying to hold back their laughter couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With this achievement, the scope of consideration has been narrowed again. However, even so, it is still difficult to find the correct answer. Not to mention the huge EVA brain, even the human brain is complex enough.

"The verification team will continue to collect data from the modified biological brains. Key members should gather in the conference room as soon as possible."

Not long after Fumihiko Ikari, Naoko Akagi and core members entered the meeting room, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A member of the verification team walked in in a hurry.

"No. 03-713 showed signs of consciousness when we destroyed the biological brain."

Naoko Akagi nodded.

"I see."

She spoke again only after the verification team members left.

"The conscious reaction is probably because the damage was not done properly. We will take this factor into consideration during the meeting later."

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head and expressed a different opinion.

"Don't worry about this. It may just be a biological instinct."

The others had absolutely no say in this matter and just stood by in silence waiting for the conclusion. After all, one of them was the leader of the project team and the other was the director of the research institute.

"It has no senses..."

"It may be a vague premonition. Well, in short, my opinion is that this can be ignored for the time being. As long as it does not affect the use, we should prioritize solving the problem of idiots. Once the prototype is manufactured, we can consider this hidden danger." At this point, Ikari Fumihiko thought of the Omnic Crisis and quickly added, "Don't connect external devices, so that any problems will be within control."

Naoko Akagi frowned, obviously wanting to solve this problem once and for all.

"Ah."

However, compared to this disagreement, she didn't want to argue with Fumihiko Ikari for too long about this matter.

Fumihiko Ikari did not dwell on this issue.

After discarding the hundreds of thousands of second-batch renovation plans that had been accumulated, everyone quickly confirmed the third batch of renovation plans, roughly dividing them into thousands of blocks based on the regional conditions determined this time. If they were lucky, they would succeed in one go, or they would need about three months to confirm all the thousands of plans. If they were unlucky...

Then we can only re-plan the transformation plan based on the feedback data, and repeat this process over and over again.

The scientific research process is basically like this. First, you try the scientific research intuition cultivated through academic literacy and collect enough data. Only when you have enough understanding of things can you enter the stage where you can have a flash of inspiration to speed up the experimental process. If you still have no inspiration, you can use stupid methods to verify it bit by bit.

316. Self-evolution

"The meeting is adjourned. Oh, don't forget to pray and consecrate..."

These words were not said by Fumihiko Ikari, but by Naoko Akagi.

Everyone looked surprised.

When did Naoko Akagi start to believe in metaphysics?

Naoko Akagi's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't even open her mouth to explain. She didn't believe in metaphysics, she just thought it seemed useful. In fact, after the basic theory was established, she thought it would take at least a few years to make some progress. Of course, this was the case without taking extreme measures. If extreme measures were taken, the time would be greatly reduced.

The problem with the first phase of research was mainly based on insufficient understanding of the EVA brain.

If you want to increase your knowledge, besides doing what you are doing now, you can also take a different approach.

The pilot of Unit 00 has EVA cells in his body. On the surface, his body structure is no different from that of humans, but his organ structure will inevitably be affected by EVA. As long as the brain of the pilot of Unit 00 is analyzed, data can be obtained quickly. After all, compared to the EVA brain that does not have much self-awareness, Rei Ayanami can communicate normally with people.

That is to say...

As long as the operation is completed, you will be able to know the results immediately, and there is no need to go through all this trouble like now.

Now, only a few months have passed and there have been two major breakthroughs. Naturally, there is no need for her to do such extreme things to save time.

"We can then build a prototype, right? Should we assemble the equipment first?"

Ikari Fumihiko's words interrupted Akagi Naoko's thoughts.

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"No rush. It won't be too late to do it once we have made some progress. Besides, I want to skip the first generation of prototypes and go directly to the second generation."

The first generation is a biological computer made from a conventional biological brain.

The second generation has a specialized brain.

“Isn’t this a step too big?”

"I want to give it a try. If the verification work has yielded results and I haven't succeeded yet, I will make the first generation first. Once the specialized brain is successfully cultivated, I will try to make the second generation."

"alright."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to dwell on this matter any more. Compared to skipping a generation and starting directly from the second generation, he preferred to manufacture the first generation first. To break the current dilemma of insufficient computing power, in fact, as long as there is a first-generation prototype, all the relevant data collected over the years can be input into it, and relying on huge computing power for calculation and analysis can save a lot of time.

The performance of the second generation will definitely be higher than that of the first generation, but the delay time during which the second generation is developed should be enough for the first generation to complete a self-iteration.

The two separated at the door of the conference room.

We have made good progress today, and every member of the project team has a look of joy on their face.

After spending some time together, he also realized that these members had followed Naoko Akagi for a long time and agreed with her philosophy. EVA can only solve the crisis temporarily, and the Three Sages System is the future of human civilization. There is nothing wrong with rationally judging this concept. However, only those who know the true power of EVA can understand how terrifying its potential is.

Especially after swallowing the fruit of life and completing awakening, his figure is definitely worthy of being called a god.

The potential of the Three Sages... No! Rather than saying that the potential of the Three Sages is unlimited, it is better to say that the potential of science is unlimited, but the pace of EVA's evolution will not stop.

The project team members have accumulated enough experience, and now he doesn't need to do anything. He just watched another biological brain being decomposed and sighed in his heart that Seele was indeed rich and powerful. It had almost consumed thousands of EVA brains. Although he didn't know the cost of each EVA brain, a simple estimate showed that it had consumed at least tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Despite such a huge loss, the top management was indifferent and didn't even send anyone to ask the project team to find ways to save money.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, three months had passed and it was June.

All the thousands of preliminary plans have been verified. How should I put it, this time the luck is not too good, but not too bad either. There has not been much progress and the biological brain is still stupid. However, with the data collected from thousands of experiments, the scope has been narrowed down again. Of course, this small is only relative.

It originally required tens of thousands of subdivided plans, but now only about three thousand are needed.

Of course, even if all these 3,000 plans are verified, the answer may not be found. In that case, we can only further subdivide them and break down the 3,000 plans into tens of thousands of plans. If that still doesn't work, we will continue to break them down until we get the accurate answer, or until we reach the upper limit of the current transformation surgery. If the transformation surgery cannot be further improved, the progress will be completely stuck.

At this time, a phone call came in.

"Director."

It's Dr. Ito.

"Ok?"

“You’ve been nominated for professor of the year.”

Ikari Fumihiko was surprised at first, but then he realized that this was an attempt to lure him out.

The potential of the neural connection device is endless. If it is fully tapped, let alone becoming a professor, it would not be too much to name an award after him, or simply call it his era. However, the potential has not been tapped yet. The only achievement he can show off is the treatment of vegetative patients. As for the graduation thesis written by university and graduate students? It is fine for graduation, but it can be completely ignored compared to the title of professor.

But even though I knew it was just a bait, I still felt a little excited.

That's a professor title.

Few people can resist such an honor.

No matter how excited I am, I still remain clear-headed.

"What arrangements have the top management made?"

He knew without thinking that since Dr. Ito called him to tell him about this, there must be some arrangement.

If there was no arrangement, the message would definitely be intercepted.

"This incident caused quite a stir. Didn't Team Leader Akagi's daughter tell you about it?"

Dr. Ito wanted to fool him, but Ikari Fumihiko was not stupid, so how could he be fooled?

Although my cell phone can communicate with the outside world, it has been monitored by higher-ups. They must know whether I have received any messages or not.

"cough……"

Dr. Ito gave a dry laugh and then began to explain.

"Really? I called you this time to congratulate you first, and secondly, to talk to you about something."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't believe it at all, but he could only continue talking along the lines of Dr. Ito.

"Congratulations are over, now let's talk about the matter."

"that……"

Dr. Ito seemed a little reserved.
