I participated in the development of EVA

As for humans choosing destruction?

That is just the beginning of another reincarnation. Lilith will repeat the process of "reproduction and evolution" again, or reset the entire human civilization.

327. Not acceptable

As these random thoughts flashed through his mind, Ikari Fumihiko shook his head secretly.

There is no point in thinking too much about this kind of thing.

If humans want to get rid of Lilith, they can only seal off the entire LCL Sea in the high-dimensional space and cut off their connection with it. It is impossible to accomplish such a feat without external help. If humans use the "external force" with this ability, they will only replace a "god" for themselves.

It is a problem that is difficult for all of humanity to solve, so it is even more impossible for him alone to find a solution.

I wanted to say something to Naoko Akagi, but I found that she was organizing a language tutorial.

The biological brain that was operating previously was still in a decompressed state, and it was unclear whether there was real memory confusion or it was just difficult to understand.

At this time, the cell phone rang. It was Dr. Ito calling.

"Director, I heard from the project team members that you came to see me this afternoon?"

He was not surprised that Dr. Ito would call him, but he would be surprised if he didn't call him after returning.

"Well, there's something I want to know from you."

"what's up?"

"I heard that a special department of the United Nations sent invitations to all tutors at the University of East China?"

"Well, I've heard about this, too. That department is very mysterious. I asked about it out of curiosity some time ago, but others either didn't know or wouldn't say anything. Oh! By the way... this department only recruits faculty members from the University of Tokyo, and members of the research institute like us are not on the invitation list."

Ikari Fumihiko responded without comment.

"Oh."

However, I have to admit that Dr. Ito's explanation was indeed clever. It did not give him any chance to criticize. Of course, he could have made up any excuse, but he was not that kind of person.

"That mysterious department probably thinks that professors from the University of Tokyo are more trustworthy, and that people like us are less reliable."

"Is that right?"

"I think so. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this department only invites teachers from the University of Tokyo. If they recruit people based on their talents, you would definitely be the first person to receive the invitation. It is not an exaggeration to say that... there is no one in the world whose talent can surpass yours."

This guy is indeed a veteran.

Forget it...

I won't make things difficult for you this time.

"Tell me what you think of this department."

"Well, I think this department should be related to the Second Impact. Under the current environment, only this incident can make those major countries temporarily put aside their disputes and unite their efforts. Well, this department should have been established a long time ago, but it has been operating in secret before. Now it is expanding so ostentatiously. It is very likely that they have grasped some key information."

"..."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, just listened silently.

Dr. Ito was stunned for a moment before speaking again.

"It is very likely that the United Nations has already realized that the second impact was caused by a mysterious creature, so they have relaxed the recruitment threshold and are preparing to search for mysterious creatures around the world. The major countries will continue to unite like this before eliminating the threat. However, after they kill a mysterious creature, this department is likely to fall apart due to the issue of profit distribution."

"Do you think they have the ability to destroy the mysterious creatures?"

"That's totally impossible. A high-yield nuclear bomb might be able to injure the mysterious creature, but it won't cause fatal damage to it... If a high-yield nuclear bomb is like this, then conventional weapons are even less likely to have any effect."

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari also felt that his original idea was a bit taken for granted.

In the original novel, although the N2 mine injured the third apostle, the Water Apostle, that might have been caused by high temperature burning rather than the N2 explosion. If the power of N2 were simply stacked, even if the entire Japan was sunk and the earth's axis shifted again, it might not necessarily kill the Water Apostle. Even if it could, it shouldn't be done that way.

Because the damage caused to human civilization is basically no less than the Second Impact. The AT force field is just unreasonable.

"How many mysterious creatures like that do you think there are on Earth?"

He said this to the senior executives who were monitoring the phone call behind the scenes.

"I don't know."

Dr. Ito was silent for a moment before speaking again.

“Maybe there are one or two, or there may be many. It may even be as described in those ancient myths. There is a place similar to the Temple of God in a corner of the earth. Every god name in the mythology represents a mysterious creature. Uh… This possibility is unlikely. If that were the case, the earth would have become a Jedi long ago.

Even if those ancient myths are historical texts, there are not too many mysterious creatures left on Earth today. After all, every myth has a plot similar to Ragnarok. "

He said a lot in one breath, expressing all the thoughts that had been accumulating in his heart for the past.

Ikari Fumihiko once again responded without comment.

"Oh, that's it... If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

"Wait a moment."

"What? Is something wrong?"

"I want to know how many mysterious creatures like this you think there are on Earth."

"Just like the rumors that are widely circulated in America, there may really be an underground world in the world. No one can explain this clearly, but one thing is certain. Our other option is to fight a desperate battle. Either all hidden dangers are eliminated, or human civilization ends here. Of course... this is the worst and most pessimistic scenario. If we think in a positive direction, there may be only one mysterious creature in the world. What I am doing now is to prepare for a rainy day. Well, it can also be understood as a battle of wits and courage with the air, playing a clown-like role in the course of history."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Dr. Ito's voice was heard again.

"In fact, it's not unacceptable to live as a joke."

"I didn't realize you're quite conscious."

"Haha, it's not that I have a high level of ideological awareness. In this environment, anyone in the same situation as me would give the same answer."

Those at the top won’t.

Of course, Ikari Fumihiko would not say this thought out loud.

"It's okay, I'll hang up now."

"You are busy, I am fine."

After hanging up the phone, Fumihiko Ikari was busy with Naoko Akagi.

Until nine o'clock in the evening, when he left the project team and returned to the dormitory, there was still no progress. The biological brain was still unzipping the language files, and the replica biological brain had not yet been transformed.

After returning to the dormitory, he said something to Ibuki Huimei embarrassedly.

"The project team has made new progress today."

Knowing that Ikari Fumihiko would be back tonight, Ibuki Huimi returned to the dormitory early and spent more than an hour dressing up carefully, but she did not expect to hear such a sentence in the end.

She felt lost and helpless at the same time.

I don't want Fumihiko Ikari to return to the project team tonight, but I know I can't do that.

"Well, don't work too hard when you get back, and make sure to rest."

"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing. We will be together for a long time in the future. There is no need to worry about this one day or one night."

17:21:50

328. Interim Results

With other things on his mind, Fumihiko Ikari didn't think too much about it and therefore believed it.

"Ah."

I felt a little touched and explained the situation.

"If everything goes well, we may be able to manufacture a prototype within the next month."

Ibuki Emi's eyes widened.

"So fast?"

She originally thought that even if the project progressed quickly, it would take at least a few years to finalize the prototype. However, she did not expect that the prototype would be completed in just over half a year or less than a year.

"Better luck."

Ikari Fumihiko thinks that his successive breakthroughs were due to luck, but Ibuki Megumi doesn't quite agree.

"Luck is only part of it. The main thing is that your team has enough hard power."

After thinking about it, Fumihiko Ikari felt that this statement was more appropriate.

"really."

Every time a key breakthrough is achieved, it seems that it is mostly due to luck, but in fact, each transformation plan is carefully considered and determined based on existing knowledge. This cannot be summarized as good luck.

"Okay, go back."

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari turned around and left and returned to the project team.

As mentioned before, the prototype might be finalized tonight, and he really didn't want to miss this historic event.

Naoko Akagi, who was directing the project team members to assemble the second biological brain, saw him come back.

"I want to transplant other personality modules into the brain of 04-136-02."

Fumihiko Ikari really couldn't understand the personality module, just like others couldn't understand the neural chain device.

"Just make your own arrangements."

Naoko Akagi just nodded in response and didn't say anything.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"This formal code is too long and confusing to say, so let's call these two biological brains 01 and 02. Oh, by the way, assemble another device and continue to verify the subsequent plan."

"it is good."

Naoko Akagi was in charge of the personality transplantation on the 02 biological brain, while Fumihiko Ikari directed everyone to assemble the third device for verification. After three days of busy work, the 01 biological brain still had not been decompressed, and 02 encountered the same problem. It had no problem with mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but it got stuck when it came to decompressing the language package.

“Did the renovation plan damage the language area?”

"Based on the structure of the human brain, the modification plan does not involve the language area, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

“There is still too little information on hand.”

Naoko Akagi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I think it may be that language knowledge is too abstract for the biological brain to understand. Anyway, let's treat it as a traditional computer! Writing a language package according to the computer operation logic and running it on the 02 biological brain will reduce the biological brain's ability to learn independently, or even eliminate its ability to think for itself.

Well, 01 biological brain will not be changed for the time being, let it continue to study language knowledge. "

Fumihiko Ikari knew that the biological brain computer envisioned by Naoko Akagi was closer to a living organism than a computer and had a strong self-learning ability.

In terms of his identity and rights, he has the power to make decisions, but he also knows that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

"it is good."

It took Naoko Akagi less than a day to produce the language pack.

"So fast?"

"I just adapted and modified the language model used in the calculation. This kind of work is not complicated, and it can be faster if there are enough people."

Fumihiko Ikari also realized that this was similar to porting an Android system software to the Apple system.

"I've unzipped the text package before, so it won't have any impact, right?"

"It's a good time to test the operating command system. If there is any impact, there is no need to wait any longer for the 01 biological brain. We can destroy the two biological brains and start over."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded in agreement.

When he first participated in the research, he would more or less think of the brain in the vat, wondering whether these biological brains were alive. Now he no longer has such feelings, and has become like Naoko Akagi, treating biological brains as ordinary experimental consumables, just like those accessories on mechanical equipment that can be replaced at any time.

He watched silently as Naoko Akagi withdrew the language pack decompression command and loaded the language software into it.

"Program loading... Success! Language module is running normally... Verification passed."

There was not much joy on Naoko Akagi's face at this time.

"Let's treat Biological Brain No. 2 as a traditional computer for now... Well, it should be more intelligent than traditional computers. We can adapt and transplant various programs to test its performance. If it is better than existing computers in all aspects, it is still worth studying. If there is no obvious gap, it means that this transformation plan is still not the optimal solution."

After a series of tests, the performance was roughly calculated.
