I participated in the development of EVA

How is it possible... I haven't lived enough -

Ikari Fumihiko still feels a little scared after his last impulsive act. If he is given another chance... Okay! He will probably make the same choice again.

"I see."

It was hard to tell what Fumihiko Ikari was thinking just from his expression, but thinking that he was only four years older than her daughter and was just a child who had just reached adulthood, Naoko Akagi added, "Too much sadness would not be a remembrance for them, but an insult. They became volunteers with the awareness of making this terrible world a better place, and took the initiative to participate in the start-up experiment.

What has happened has already happened and there is no way to stop it.

Only by turning their sacrifice into the cornerstone of building EVA can we show them the greatest respect.

You are no longer a student at school, you must learn to shoulder your own responsibilities. "

A sentence he had heard before traveling through time flashed through Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

With great ability comes great responsibility.

Uh--

I understand the truth, but I'm just a fake...ah——

Perhaps feeling that she had said what she needed to say, Naoko Akagi stopped talking and stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

"I'm being lectured again..."

Ugh!

He sighed with mixed feelings. Since he traveled through time, every person he met had some mental problems to a certain extent. But when facing these people, Fumihiko Ikari always felt like he was a piece of mud that could not be smeared on the wall. He had to be forced to take action every moment... Uh! Well, even if he was urged, there was no improvement.

While others are thinking about how to save the world, he just wants to marry, have children and live his life in peace.

Even though I know that the situation will be very bad in the future and I must take action and make preparations from now on in order to survive, the mentality of hoping for luck still suppresses my rationality.

Because he felt that no matter what he did, he would not be able to change the course of the plot, and he didn't even have the confidence to save his own life.

After all, the development of the future plot is like a myth or legend.

And he is just an ordinary person, a chess piece on the chessboard, what can he do to change his fate! ?

Are you full of passion?

Putting aside whether it would be useful or not, it was questionable whether he had such passion... Uh! Well, he didn't have that kind of passion.

After sorting out his bad mood, he stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw a figure that didn't fit in.

Ritsuko Akagi.

Ikari Fumihiko took a look at the kettle in the other person's hand and judged that the other person was going to get some water.

"Make me a cup of coffee, with more sugar and milk."

It’s not that I like drinking coffee, but I have no other choice.

Not to mention the resumption of work and production in the beverage industry, the restoration of order is still a long way off.

Ritsuko Akagi took a glance and left immediately, obviously not wanting to bother with Fumihiko Ikari.

Ikari Fumihiko touched his nose awkwardly.

Fortunately, a civilian staff member took over the conversation and eased the awkwardness a little.

"Team Leader Wen Yan, please come with me to familiarize yourself with the office environment. I'll make you some coffee in a moment."

"A team has been disbanded, and I am not the team leader now."

When I first became a team leader, I enjoyed the change in status that power brought. However, after working as a team leader for a while, I just wanted to find a big tree in front of me to shelter me from the wind and rain, and become a tool who knew nothing.

"Group One has not been disbanded. This is now a collaborative project between Group One and Group Two."

"Oh."

He really didn't have any feeling about whether he was the team leader or not.

Regardless of whether you are a team leader or not, you have to work overtime like everyone else every day and bear more responsibilities.

028. I am defeated!

This situation was not taken into consideration during the design, so now the team leader's office can only be temporarily divided into two.

Half belongs to Fumihiko Ikari and half belongs to Naoko Akagi.

Done!

Now... there is no way to be lazy.

Sitting at his desk, Fumihiko Ikari turned on his computer.

It's time to make a test machine...

Why does the office computer still have this big-headed display, and the LED display hasn’t been ready yet?

If this thing is installed in the cockpit, it will be damaged if it is subjected to intense movement during a battle, right? Uh... it seems that it will also kill the pilot.

This factor must be taken into account when designing the cockpit.

Ikari Fumihiko did listen to some of what Naoko Akagi said earlier, and he stopped thinking about slacking off.

Just as we were about to start work, Ritsuko Akagi walked in from outside.

"Your mother is not in the office, you can come to me if you have anything."

Ritsuko Akagi still just glanced at him, then went to the other half of the office and sat at the desk to study high school textbooks.

When I saw this scene, I realized that I was overthinking.

The clerk came in and placed the brewed coffee on the table.

"I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I brought sugar and milk."

"Oh."

I added sugar and milk and mixed it randomly.

It's really hard to drink -

It’s better to drink boiled water. Uh, it seems that wolfberry soaked in water is better?

I'll ask Akagi Eri if she has wolfberries after get off work.

Fumihiko Ikari thought the job was not difficult, but he encountered a problem as soon as he started.

What is the purpose of the column-shaped insert bolt in the original book? Is it simply to enhance the driver's protection, or... to bring the driver closer to the core?

It's not his fault for thinking too much, the space inside Eva's body is so small, the core is so mysterious, and in the original book it was inserted at an angle, which naturally gave rise to this association.

Wouldn't it be superfluous to add this concept and cause any unnecessary trouble?

Or be more conservative?

He took a sip of coffee sadly and immediately spat it all out.

I poured out the coffee in the cup and glanced at the coffee machine next to me, wondering whether I should try it again. After hesitating for a moment, I finally gave up.

"You really don't understand anything."

Fumihiko Ikari did not take the initiative to talk to Ritsuko Akagi, but at this time the other party took the initiative to talk to him.

"Uh-know what?"

"coffee."

"What's so special about this thing?"

“Coffee is just a general term.”

Fumihiko Ikari had never had much contact with coffee before he traveled through time, and the same was true after he traveled through time. He just wanted to try it today.

"Oh, I know, there is a flavor called cappuccino."

"In addition to cappuccino, there are also macchiato, Americano, white coffee, latte, cappuccino, breve, mocha..."

"Stop! I'm not interested in this knowledge. Just say that coffee tastes like a beverage."

"What flavor of drink?"

"Coca Cola."

Ritsuko Akagi was speechless. He really had no taste at all.

"You shouldn't drink coffee."

"Well, this attempt made me understand this truth."

"Return the coffee machine! It's a complete waste to keep it here."

"I have work to do."

"I need to study."

"Why do we need to learn such simple knowledge as that in high school? Can't we master it with just a little understanding?"

Ikari Fumihiko sneered in his heart and told you not to pay attention to me before.

Ritsuko Akagi opened her mouth to refute, but when she thought about the fact that the other party had completed his doctorate at the age of twenty-one, and if it hadn't been for the catastrophe that delayed him for two years, he might have completed his doctorate at the age of nineteen, the words were stuck at her lips. This made her very uncomfortable, and she regretted talking to Fumihiko Ikari very much.

He immediately groaned, lowered his head and ignored Ikari Fumihiko.

Ikari Fumihiko smiled with relief, used the landline to call a civilian staff, took away the coffee machine and replaced it with a cup of boiled water.

After drinking a sip of warm water, he lowered his head and started thinking again.

After much hesitation, the author finally added the 'close to the core' factor into the design of the insertion bolt. There are indeed certain risks in doing so, but other than that, there is really no explanation as to why the original author placed the driving position in the center of the insertion bolt. If there was no 'close to the core' design, the driving position should be designed at the bottom, and the insertion bolt would not be designed to be so long.

After the insertion of the data model was completed, I began to waver again.

Will the design that the insertion pin is in contact with the core increase the risk of the driver being swallowed by the EVA?

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Ritsuko Akagi leaned sideways to take a peek.

I thought it would be something profound and difficult to understand, but I didn't expect that there was only an ordinary cylinder on the screen. I really don't understand why Fumihiko Ikari took so long to think about such a simple thing.

What a genius doctor! I think he is just a fake!

Not even one-tenth of my mother's.

Fumihiko Ikari had no idea what Ritsuko Akagi was thinking, and his whole body and mind were focused on this issue.

It took me a moment to process the thought.

In fact, no matter how the insertion plug is designed, it must enter the body of the EVA and will be swallowed up.

The main question is why the driver is being eaten.

Those who are assimilated due to high synchronization rate and those who are not compatible with EVA soul are assimilated.

After realizing this, he sighed with melancholy, and without hesitation, he finalized the data for the insertion tether. After the insertion tether was inserted, it fitted with the core. After all, according to the original plot, the test machine would be completed before the end of the year. Even if he did not propose this design now, someone would propose it during the subsequent research and development process. Taking the initiative to propose this design could also give himself some credit.

There are no difficulties in the subsequent work. The only thing worth mentioning is the design of the control seat.

I originally thought that this area would be the most difficult part, but after recalling the original plot and thinking about it carefully for a long time, I finally understood it.

EVA control is mainly carried out in the form of mental connection. You don't need to think too much about driving. No! It's not that complicated. The control seat is actually an auxiliary system. Its main function is to enhance the driver's sense of interaction with EVA in battle and reduce some of the mental burden for the driver.

Time passed by unknowingly until the cell phone suddenly rang, and Fumihiko Ikari woke up.

"Will you come again tonight?"

The call was naturally from Ibuki Emi.

After hearing these words, I realized that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and I immediately gave a silent smile.

People are really easily influenced by the surrounding environment.

"Go back, we're almost home."

"Are you hungry? Do you want to prepare some food?"

Recalling that Ibuki Emi had prepared a midnight snack for him a few days ago, Ikari Fumihiko shuddered, and even his stomach twitched, and he hurriedly gave instructions.

"Just make two bags of instant noodles. No need to make it too complicated."

"Do you want to soak it now?"
