I participated in the development of EVA

At this moment, Ibuki Huimi really couldn't tell whether Ikari Fumihiko's words were true or false.

"So that's how it is. I thought Li was a clone and there was something wrong with her genes that caused her identity to develop slowly."

She chose to believe again, and she could only believe.

Keep the idea you were about to bring up inside of you.

If Rei Ayanami is cloned, if there is really no other way, then just clone another one to take the risk. This is the option with the least damage.

She subconsciously turned her eyes away from Ikari Fumihiko.

Did you guess what I was thinking and fabricate the idea of ​​genetic modification?

At this moment, she still felt that compared to genetic modification, it was more likely that Ayanami Rei was a clone of Ikari Yui. The reason was not complicated and the logic was very simple. It was just because of Ayanami Rei's apparent identity, Ikari Yui's distant cousin. Given Ikari Yui's status in the hearts of the top management, even if there was such an experimental research, it would definitely not be the turn of Ikari Yui's relatives.

Ikari Fumihiko half-jokingly changed the subject.

"Don't expose someone's shortcomings. If Li heard what you said, she would definitely be so angry that she would drink a few more bottles of Coke."

"She's almost become a Coke spirit now. You should talk to her about it. Ever since you started working on the Three Sages project, she has been getting worse and worse. She rarely drinks water and only drinks Coke all day long. If this continues for a long time, her health may be in trouble."

"Well, I'll talk about her later."

He didn't take it too seriously.

Not to mention that as an EVA pilot, Rei Ayanami would have a checkup every once in a while to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her body, and if there was anything wrong with the drink, it would be discovered in advance. Moreover, Coke can only affect human body functions, but Rei Ayanami has the EVA gene, so it is difficult for Coke to have any effect on her body functions.

"Do you have a lot of work to do today?"

After hearing this, Ibuki Huimi understood Ikari Fumihiko's hint and his intention not to continue talking about these things.

They are already an old couple, so naturally there is nothing to hide.

"We can deal with it tomorrow."

"Then let's go back to the dorm! The beds are bigger."

"Well, let me sort out the documents."

"No hurry, there's still a long day ahead."

Ibuki Huimi didn't give Ikari Fumihiko any face at all.

"Heh...you say that as if you have the ability to keep going on for that long."

After Ibuki Huimi finished packing the documents, the two went to the cafeteria before returning to the dormitory, mainly because Ikari Fumihiko made pre-war preparations.

After finishing her training, Rei Ayanami returned to the dormitory. She wanted to have dinner with Ibuki Megumi, but when she saw the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging in the master bedroom, she knew that Fumihiko Ikari had returned.

Although she didn't know what they would do after staying in the room for so long every time Ikari Fumihiko came back, she knew what she should do. She went to the cafeteria alone and had dinner. Although her physical appearance had not changed much, she had lived here for nearly three years and no longer needed others' meticulous care.

She was used to not seeing anyone after coming back from dinner.

I went to the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV and started playing the documentary about the animal world that I had watched many times.

She liked the documentary very much, not because it was so well made, but because the outside signals were cut off and she could only play discs. She couldn't understand all the messy things about love and romance for the time being, so she was afraid that the film didn't feel right. After choosing many, she found that only the animal world that depicted the appearance of the outside world was more interesting.

It was not until the next morning that she saw Fumihiko Ikari, who looked exhausted, sitting at the dining table.

She thought for a moment before finding a topic.

"That Asuka's mock battle performance is improving very quickly."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

"Is she still there?"

"Well, it seems that he has been eating and living there all the time."

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and then felt relieved. Professor Langley was only Asuka's nominal father and would definitely not care about her like a real father. He even thought that Professor Langley knew that Asuka would not encounter any danger in the institute and therefore ignored it, or perhaps he knew that he was the one who took Asuka away and therefore stopped asking about it.

He really overlooked this aspect before.

"You can bring her back to live with you afterwards."

"Ah."

He looked at Ibuki Huimi.

"Emi, please."

He doesn't have time to take care of Asuka, so he still has to trouble Ibuki Huimi with daily matters.

Ibuki Huimi had read Asuka's file and knew the situation, but she was not a woman with excessive maternal instinct. Since Ikari Fumihiko had asked, she naturally would not refuse.

"It's easy for you to say that. This is an EVA pilot. If anything goes wrong, I will be blamed."

She couldn't help but be careful.

Again, once something goes wrong with the driver, the corresponding EVA will become waste.

EVA is the key to preventing the Third Impact. The loss of each one is a heavy blow to all mankind.

Fumihiko Ikari can understand this pressure. He felt the same pressure when he made the decision to change Rei Ayanami's life trajectory. He was really nervous as if he was walking on thin ice. If it weren't for the continuous increase in the synchronization rate between Rei Ayanami and Unit 00, this outstanding result helped him build confidence, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of this psychological burden until now.

Now he didn't know what to say, so he could only give a simple comforting remark.

"Don't feel so burdened. After she moves in, you just need to eat and live with her normally. You don't need to take special care of her. Just treat her normally."

Ibuki Huimi hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head.

Ordinary grassroots staff would not be so cautious when interacting with drivers, but she knew that there was a mutually influential relationship between drivers and EVA. This is the so-called more you know, the more concerns you have.

"You should do this."

"Well, lately I try to come back every day if possible."

17:48:51

392. Regain your energy and prepare for the 4.2 Abyss update. Use Eula to fight

Coming to the Three Sages Project, Fumihiko Ikari used a rest cabin to save his failing kidneys.

Then he remotely checked the situation of the immortality surgery through the computer, and confirmed that there were no accidents and stopped paying attention to it.

"Go, call your mother over."

These words were naturally directed at Ritsuko Akagi.

Akagi Ritsuko rolled her eyes at him.

"It's my break time now."

"It's not me who's assigning you a task now, but humanity needs you, Ritsuko Intern."

"Can't you just call yourself?"

"I'm lazy."

Ritsuko Akagi sighed helplessly, put down the documents in her hand, took out the mobile phone in her pocket, and called her mother.

"Team Leader, the director asked you to come to the office."

She hung up the phone only after her mother responded.

"It's just a simple sentence. You just had time to chatter. You could have made ten phone calls instead."

"Am I not lazy?"

"This is the first time I've seen someone say he's lazy so confidently."

"Haha, I'm just giving you some new insights."

Akagi Ritsuko sneered.

"Ah--"

Just as she was about to say something, the office door opened and Akagi Naoko walked in. She immediately stood up and walked out.

She had no right to listen to their conversation.

Akagi Naoko spoke only after she left.

"I thought you would come here yesterday. Did something go wrong with the immortality surgery?"

"Well, something delayed me."

Ikari Fumihiko first responded vaguely, then changed the subject.

"Stop the calculation over there."

"Ah."

Naoko Akagi responded calmly without questioning the decision. The reason was simple: superconducting materials have indeed greatly improved modern science and technology. However, the two Three Sages systems have been calculating for so long and still have not produced any results. It is basically certain that the synthesis formula for superconducting materials is not on Earth, or is not within the scope of current technological levels.

"By the way, I want to do some research on unmanned EVA. Can you give me some advice?"

"I don't know much about this, but based on the current situation, there is only one way to achieve driverless driving."

"In what way?"

"Soul infusion, controlling EVA through the human soul."

Ikari Fumihiko was not surprised by this answer.

Knowing more about EVA, you can guess that the mass-produced machine in the original work was driven in this way.

“I don’t want to study this direction.”

“I can’t think of any other way to achieve driverless driving.”

"Is it not possible to combine the Three Sages System with EVA?"

Naoko Akagi began to think seriously.

"Theoretically, yes, but it should not be able to deploy an AT force field. You should know this better than me. If you only use your physical strength, it will not be very meaningful. Many shells can achieve the same destructive power, or even more destructive power. What's more, modern weapons can be mass-produced, and the cost is more affordable than making EVA."

After a pause, she concluded.

"The AT force field is the power of this mysterious creature."

Ikari Fumihiko was speechless.

The at force field is a force driven by the mind. No matter how close the Three Sages system is to humans, it is not real humans after all.

Human life is something that cannot be avoided after all.

"This mysterious creature has been officially named the Apostle."

He just mentioned it casually, but Akagi Naoko was so shocked that her face changed.

"Have you found any evidence to prove that these creatures are the legendary Twelve Apostles of Jehovah?"

Before he could explain, Akagi Naoko was surprised and spoke again, "There are eleven creatures like that that can cause a second impact? No, there is no evidence to prove that the first apostle who appeared is dead, and if in addition to the twelve disciples, does Jehovah also exist? This..."

He quickly interrupted Naoko Akagi from scaring herself.

"No, it refers specifically to the Twelve Disciples of Jehovah. It's a name similar to angels. To be more specific, you can understand it as the disciples of God, which is fine. In short, it doesn't refer to any mythological figures."

Naoko Akagi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"fine……"

There is no way. If there is evidence to prove that the mysterious creatures are the twelve disciples of Jehovah, then it would be a big deal.

Putting aside whether those fanatical followers of Jehovah will disrupt the world, the meaning behind this alone is scary enough.

Since Jehovah exists, is he just a different name, or does he also exist as a god in other myths and legends? The former is naturally the best, and the latter... No, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Since ancient humans can get along with gods and Buddhas, it can be proved that these gods are unlikely to destroy humans. At most, they will bring another flood to submerge the whole world.

As for confrontation?

There are too many myths and legends on Earth, and powerful gods with names and surnames are enough to make humans despair.

He waited until Akagi Naoko had completely calmed down before speaking again.

"The reason I wanted to study autonomous driving was because I submitted a project to improve the performance of EVA without thinking it through."

I really don't know what to do, so I can only try to get some advice from Naoko Akagi.

"Ok?"

"I call it beast mode. To put it simply, it removes some of the restraints on the EVA's beastly nature, thereby further improving performance in all aspects."

This idea made Naoko Akagi's eyes light up.

Although I think the Three Sages System is the future of mankind, I know in my heart that EVA represents the present of mankind.
