I participated in the development of EVA

He stumbled over his words and looked very nervous.

"Oh, by the way, her name is Asuka, and she is one quarter Japanese."

Fumihiko Ikari felt a little confused and didn't know what the other party was nervous about.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just curious why there is such a young child in the team. I don't have any objection to it."

After giving a casual word of comfort, he spoke again.

"Let's go to the meeting."

After leaving one person to look after Asuka, the others followed Ikari Fumihiko into the meeting room.

In the conference room, it was Naoko Akagi who had been explaining the biological brain, while Fumihiko Ikari took a closer look at the team leader, Professor Langley.

As expected...it is like this.

Asuka was not a naturally born baby, but a test-tube baby.

Her mother has physical defects and it is difficult for her to conceive naturally, so she can only give birth through in vitro fertilization. Although the original book did not explain the information of the sperm provider, it was only referred to as an outstanding scholar. However, after seeing this Professor Langley, we now understand that the person who provided sperm for Asuka's mother is the person in front of us, that is, Asuka's mother's ex-husband.

The meeting lasted for more than ten hours, and Fumihiko Ikari could not bear it anymore and left the meeting room.

As soon as he came out, he saw Asuka and the researcher who was in charge of looking after her, sitting in the rest area eating instant noodles. Well! He noticed this after he deliberately looked for Asuka after coming out.

"There's a cafeteria over here."

Without waiting for the young white female researcher who was looking after Asuka to speak, he added another sentence.

"I didn't plan it well enough. I forgot to arrange someone to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."

The white female researcher waved her hands quickly.

"No, it's not your fault. I have a map in my hand. I just kept hearing about the unique instant noodle culture here, so I wanted to try it."

"Try to eat less. Food like instant noodles is not very healthy."

When saying this, Fumihiko Ikari was looking at Asuka, and it was obvious that he was saying that it is not good for children to eat too much instant noodles.

"Well, this is my negligence. I only think about myself."

"I'll arrange for someone to deliver the food when it's time for dinner. Oh, by the way...after the meeting, ask Professor Langley to draw up a menu for me."

"Okay, I will convey this to my instructor."

Ikari Fumihiko tried to communicate with Asuka.

"Hello, little sister, is your name Asuka? What a nice name."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, my name is Ikari Fumihiko."

"..."

Asuka had been sitting there like a soulless puppet, eating instant noodles mechanically, and did not respond at all to what Fumihiko Ikari said.

"Has she always been like this?"

"That incident was a huge blow to her... Uh, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"

"know."

Of course, Fumihiko Ikari knew that Asuka had not yet recovered from her mother's death.

"Didn't you see a psychiatrist? I remember you guys in Europe are more likely to do that."

"I should have seen it, but I don't know the details. This is the tutor's family, and he won't tell us about these things."

Fumihiko Ikari carefully recalled Asuka's character information, and a sentence Asuka said in the original work flashed through his mind.

'I was born from the union of an excellent sperm and an egg! I am a chosen one, a special one.'

Just as this sentence reveals, Asuka has been doing one thing in the original work, which is to prove that she is the best one! This is not to be competitive, nor does it mean that she really thinks she is a special person, but to tell the world how excellent her mother is through her own excellence.

"I've heard of your mother. She's a very good scientist."

Asuka still didn't react after hearing this.

Weird, I found the wrong entry point! ?

No way? ?

The white female researcher hesitated for a moment, then gave a careful reminder.

"Well, she's only five years old and hasn't learned Japanese yet. You can try English."

Uh--

Ikari Fumihiko stood there in embarrassment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Cough!

He coughed twice before speaking again.

"Hello, I'm Fumihiko Ikari, and you're Asuka, right?"

After switching to English, Asuka responded immediately. Although she still didn't speak actively, she turned her head and looked at him.

Uh……

Just now... there was really a language barrier...

"Although this is the first time we meet, I have always heard your name from Professor Kyoko before."

Fumihiko Ikari had read Asuka's personal information and learned that her mother's name was Soryu Kyoko Zeppelin.

At this time, Asuka spoke.

"Do you know Mom?"

"Well, back then..."

Maybe he was too excited and Fumihiko Ikari almost blurted it out.

I provided the sperm back then, so you are actually the daughter of me and your mother.

Fortunately, the response was timely and no trouble was caused.

"Back then... well, we had some collaborations on scientific research projects and our relationship was pretty good. Uh... well, I pursued her at the time, but was rejected very bluntly on the spot. I still remember what she said... I'm sorry, Wen Yan, you're too young, and we're not suitable. Well, you were there at the time, but she was holding you in her arms. I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again after a few years."

Fumihiko Ikari made up a lot of stories, but Asuka only replied with one sentence.

"My mother is obsessed with looks. You look too ordinary, so it's normal to be rejected."

"..."

No!

Do you want to hurt people like this——

Ikari Fumihiko took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and started to guide the topic again.

"By the way, when we talked on the phone a few years ago, Professor Kyoko told me that you are her pride and that you have inherited her excellent genes. You will definitely achieve better results than her in the future."

Asuka wanted to say something, but suddenly lowered her head with a gloomy expression and became lifeless again.

"..."

Ikari Fumihiko remained indifferent and just continued talking to himself.

"It sounds like bragging."

"No! No! Mother didn't lie!"

"No, it's just bragging."

"no!"

"What do you mean nothing? I can tell from your current state that Professor Kyoko not only likes to brag, but she is probably not as good as people say."

Asuka glared at Fumihiko Ikari angrily.

"you--"

"If not, then prove to me with your actions how good you are as someone who inherited her genes. Use your achievements to make me take back my words and apologize to you."

Ikari Fumihiko knew that this was not a good idea.

However, the only solution he could think of for now was to provoke Asuka into cheering her up.

17:23:48

331. Fu Xuan has not been drawn yet, embarrassing

Although Asuka's face was filled with hatred, her eyes were no longer dead.

The white female researcher couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Have you really confessed to Professor Kyoko?"

The other party spoke Japanese, so Fumihiko Ikari did not hide it.

"No, I have never met Professor Kyoko. Everything I said before was a lie to her."

"Well... if you're not turning hatred into love, then why do you do such an extreme thing?"

"There's no light in her eyes, and she doesn't have the energy of a child. If you don't give her a goal, she'll have brain problems over time."

"I see. Sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

"Nothing, just take care of her, I have something else to deal with."

"Yes, take care."

Fumihiko Ikari randomly found a project team employee and asked him to take care of the European team's dining arrangements.

Then we arrived at the core area.

The 01 biological brain that had previously attracted everyone's attention has now been abandoned in a corner and is left to continue to decompress the language package. As for when it will be successfully decompressed, or whether it can be successfully decompressed, no one knows the answer. The reason why it is still kept is to keep a thought, or even to wait for a miracle.

02 The biological brain is now considered the prototype of the Three Sages. Later, two more biological brains were added and connected in parallel with it according to Naoko Akagi's theory.

It was initially estimated that the prototype had at least ten times the performance of the research institute's supercomputer, but... in reality it was only four times as powerful. In other words, the prototype performed worse than a single biological brain. This was a problem with both the architecture and the algorithm. Although the performance was severely degraded, it solved the problem of errors and omissions that would occur when a biological brain performed complex calculations.

It can be said that performance is sacrificed in exchange for accuracy.

The prototype is analyzing Rei Ayanami and EVA's brain wave data instead of the supercomputer. The reason for doing this is that compared to humans, Rei Ayanami's brain structure is closest to EVA.

"How's the progress?"

"Just before you came over, the data had just been analyzed, and I was just about to report to you and the team leader."

"Yes, it's faster than expected."

The performance of the prototype is more than four times that of a supercomputer, but the speed of parsing data is a thousand times faster than using a supercomputer. The reason for this is that although the Three Sages project is important, other projects are not completely dispensable. This means that the Three Sages project cannot monopolize the supercomputer performance like it does now.

Fumihiko Ikari took a close look at the EVA brain digital model, which was very complete.

"Verify the accuracy."

"Yes."

Accuracy verification is not complicated. It is just to compare the determined transformation plan with the digital model, find the plan with the highest success rate, and then conduct experiments to verify the accuracy.

Time passed quickly until the early hours of the morning.

Naoko Akagi left the meeting room and rushed to the scene to take a look at the situation.

"What's going on now?"

Perhaps it was because she spoke too much in the meeting; her voice was not only hoarse, but also revealed a strong sense of fatigue.

Ikari Fumihiko was so happy now that he didn't notice this at all. Instead, he excitedly described the situation. "The data was analyzed at noon. After nearly twelve hours of verification, it can be basically confirmed that there is no problem with the model in the general direction, but there are still significant errors in the details, which require more data correction.

Well, according to the digital model, our current prototype only taps into about 35% of the potential of the biological brain."

After hearing the good news, Naoko Akagi's face looked much less tired.

“How much can be mobilized in the optimal transformation plan now?”

"There are no particularly good plans. Most of them show negative growth, and only a few have positive growth. The one with the highest growth rate has increased by 3%. However, after optimizing the model based on these data, we have roughly determined the direction. Of course, the premise is that there is not too much error between the verification results and the analysis results this time."

"When does it begin?"

"It will take until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest to collect this data."
