I participated in the development of EVA

"Then let's do some calculations first to see the situation."

17:25:31

336. A Line of Heaven and Earth

"Hahaha--

Success! It's even simpler than expected. What three sages architecture? It's just three machines in parallel. No matter how hard you try, the upper limit is just that! Look, I just mobilized half of the staff to do a little research, and the performance has been increased by a hundred times. If the number of modifications keeps up, the performance can be increased by more than three hundred times. "

Professor Langley smirked.

"As expected of you, Professor Langley. You have easily accomplished something that even Director Ikari and Professor Akagi combined could not do."

A senior representative on the sidelines complimented.

Professor Langrey did not take advantage of the situation to step down.

"In terms of supercomputing architecture, if I say I am second, no one in the world dares to say I am first."

He looked down on the frivolous architecture of the Three Sages, and had only admiration for the new type of computer, the biological brain.

Now that the biological brain is only a semi-finished product, it has already demonstrated its terrifying potential to completely crush semiconductor computers. It is conceivable how terrifying the finished product will be. Basically, apart from being expensive, it has no disadvantages.

"Professor Langley, can the underlying code of a biological brain be modified? Yes, that aspect of 'personality transplantation'."

"No."

This matter involves too many things, so Professor Langrey dare not speak rashly.

"How much do you need to understand?"

At that time, Naoko Akagi did not show Professor Langrey the complete technical information of the Three Sages. She just gave a brief explanation of the technical information she obtained from the top management.

If this technical information had not come from the top, he would definitely think that someone was playing a trick on him.

"It's not a question of whether I can understand it or not, it's that I simply can't understand it."

He sighed and added unwillingly.

"Let me put it this way! Even if you understand this technical information, you don't have the ability to copy it."

The senior representative was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang.

"Well, okay, I understand..."

Feeling the strange look from the senior representative after he hung up the phone, Professor Langrey suddenly became nervous. He had a bad feeling in his heart and cautiously asked a question.

"what happened?"

"There's no need to continue researching your project."

"what??"

Professor Langrey was confused. I had just made a technical breakthrough, why was I suddenly stopped?

It’s only been a few days...is there any new progress on the Three Sages’ structure?

its not right!

Even if there is some breakthrough, it won't be necessary to terminate the Super Brain project, right?

Before he could ask, the senior representative spoke up.

"You should study the technical data carefully and try to decipher the technology of personality transplantation. Forget about the super brain."

"No, no, why did the project suddenly stop?"

The high-level representative remained silent, somewhat reluctant to speak against Professor Langley, but he finally spoke to explain the situation, "The prototype of the Three Sages system has been built, and its performance is about... 200 million times that of the current top-ranked supercomputer. Of course, this is only pure computing power. The Three Sages have the same thinking ability as adult humans."

"This...this is impossible!"

Professor Langrey does not believe that biological brains have such terrifying computing power, nor does he believe that computers can have thinking abilities comparable to those of adult humans.

"You, do you know what you are saying?"

"I know."

Even after getting a positive answer, Professor Langrey still couldn't believe it.

"If the Three Sages prototype really has such performance, even if human basic science does not develop at all in the future and only the existing knowledge is digested, it will be enough to bring humans into the era of interstellar travel, and even create weapons that can easily destroy planets. Even if it is terrible, it can still support all of humanity."

The high-level representatives were not surprised that they had become an interstellar civilization and could create weapons that could destroy planets. They were just a little curious.

"To support all mankind?"

"All human beings are responsible for is eating, drinking and having fun. If we use it correctly, we can solve the two major crises of food and energy within a dozen years."

"This is really good, but... the premise is that we can survive the current crisis."

"Uh……"

"If we can't make it, no matter how bright the future of mankind is, it will only be a mirror, a castle in the air."

Recalling the horror of the second impact, Professor Langrey no longer had time to question.

"If we really have such terrifying computing power, we can actually choose to escape in addition to fighting. As long as we focus on developing aerospace technology, the enemy will appear a little later... Well, even if we can't all run away, we can come up with a Spark Plan to let the elites take the hope of mankind to deep space to find a new home..."

At the end, he finally reacted.

If the Three Sages System had not been created, as a leading expert in the field of supercomputing architecture, he would definitely be considered a human elite. However, now that the Three Sages System has been created, supercomputing will sooner or later be completely replaced. Even if he can still retain some value at that time, he will definitely not be qualified to board the spacecraft to his new home.

Realizing this, he quickly changed his words.

"The enemy may appear at any time. The safest option is to fight head-on. However, the Spark Plan cannot be completely abandoned."

The senior representative glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Ah."

Professor Langrey laughed awkwardly, then he realized that the other party was not joking. This meant that related majors would be eliminated in the future, and the entire supercomputing industry would become a sunset industry. Faced with such a crisis, he naturally could not sit idly by and wait for death. He must take the initiative to figure out the deep-seated principles of the Three Sages prototype and find his own position from it. Only in this way can he maintain his current position.

"Um...can I go over and take a look at the Three Sages prototype?"

"That's not my opinion."

"Who has the final say? Who should I ask for instructions?"

"Of course it's Director Ikari. He has the final say on all matters within the institute."

Professor Langrey couldn't help but be a little surprised that the top brass actually gave this large base with two EVAs to Fumihiko Ikari for full management. He didn't know much about the Japanese base, he just knew that EVA-related technologies were developed here, and that Unit-0 and Unit-01 had been built, but he didn't know any more details.

The senior representative saw that Professor Langrey had misunderstood that the senior management trusted Fumihiko Ikari, but did not explain anything.

He couldn't say that the pilot of Unit-0 was firmly controlled by Ikari Fumihiko, and Unit-01 was taken advantage of by Ikari Yui, and now only members of the Ikari family have the license to drive, right? ?

If Professor Langrey had been qualified to know these contents before the prototype of the Three Sages came out, he no longer has that qualification.

Professor Langrey restrained his divergent thoughts.

He glanced at the super brain behind him.

"What about this super brain? Should we keep it?"

"Destroy it...it has no value now."

Professor Langrey fell silent and did not speak again. He just looked at the unfinished super brain not far away with mixed feelings.

17:25:49

337. Well, it’s relatively pure

Even though he had expected this, Fumihiko Ikari was still surprised when the Three Sages prototype actually started working.

“Is this really what we’re doing research on?”

All you need to do is manually input the relevant data and build the relevant model, and the three sages will be able to list various solutions in an instant.

Naoko Akagi was relatively calm.

"It is no different from the supercomputer we used before. It is also a tool to assist research, but its computing power is a little bit stronger. Although it can produce many solutions, its accuracy still depends on the data."

"This is already quite exaggerated. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's self-evolved."

"Don't waste time, sort it out and start the next stage of research."

Despite achieving such great results, there was still no rest and no celebration party. Everyone started working like machines again.

The two of them started directly with the option with the highest success rate.

Fortunately...

Failed.

In fact, Fumihiko Ikari didn't know why he was glad about the failure of the three sages.

Naoko Akagi, on the other hand, didn't feel anything.

I tried several more plans, but they all ended in failure.

“This may be the wrong direction of research.”

There is nothing wrong with the plans proposed by the three sages, and that's why she should be the one to do it.

"Change direction?"

"We can no longer use the same tricks as before in terms of specialization."

Akagi Naoko said this and pushed a document in front of Ikari Fumihiko.

Ikari Fumihiko took a look and took a deep breath again.

“Is this what the three wise men thought?”

"Correct."

The three wise men not only provided solutions, but also gave ideas for solutions.

Ikari Fumihiko's scalp tingled, and he exclaimed in his heart, what the hell is this monster. Then he spoke, "Which direction are you going to choose? Gene editing with the highest success rate? This is very difficult. With our current capabilities, it may be difficult to break through in a short period of time. The mechanical expansion idea is less difficult."

Naoko Akagi thought for a moment before speaking.

“Try gene editing first, and if that doesn’t work, try mechanical expansion.”

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"You should know that the EVA gene is really weird. It cannot be deciphered by current science, let alone edited."

Not to mention editing the EVA gene, even editing the human gene is not a technology that can be realized in a short period of time.

"I want to try."

"Forget it. You take charge of the gene editing ideas, and I'll lead the team to work on mechanical expansion."

“Just a prototype.”

Ikari Fumihiko didn't care at all.

Is this even a problem?

We have the technology and the materials, and it’s not impossible to replicate.

"Rebuild the stage."

"You are the director, you have the final say. I will use this one first."

"It should be easier for me to solve it."

Naoko Akagi frowned, and Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to give in either.

Gene editing is obviously a huge project that will not produce results in a short period of time. Naoko Akagi will definitely occupy the Three Sages for a long time. Relatively speaking, Fumihiko Ikari feels that the idea of ​​mechanical expansion is relatively simple. It will not take long to make up for the shortcomings of the prototype through mechanical devices and further expand the performance. In addition, the technology can be verified when manufacturing the second prototype.

The other core members of the project team sat there like wax figures, not daring to say a word.

After a long standoff, Naoko Akagi finally spoke.

"Develop multi-threaded computing and run in both directions at the same time."

Naoko Akagi took a step back, and Fumihiko Ikari naturally took advantage of the situation to back down.

"it is good."

The idea was good, but plans could not keep up with changes, and multi-threaded computing was more difficult than expected. It took Naoko Akagi and her team a full month to solve the problem.

"Multithreading is finally done."
