I participated in the development of EVA

Just the plot that will happen next year, that is, Ikari Yui disappears during the start-up experiment, which will make him lose his umbrella of protection, not to mention that Ikari Gendo will go crazy and bite people after Ikari Yui disappears, which makes him dare not hand over his fate to the other party. As for preventing Ikari Yui from participating in the start-up experiment? The feasibility of this matter is very low.

Forging iron requires hard work.

"There is no reason for this launch experiment to fail."

The three of them immediately became alert when they heard these words and focused their eyes on Ikari Fumihiko.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his nervousness.

"What do you think is the essence of the power of the AT stance?"

At this stage, the test machine has not been completed yet, and the research on the AT position is still only a vague understanding and the assumptions put forward by some scholars.

I think the at position is the power that allows organisms to maintain their own form.

Although there is no theoretical knowledge to support it, it has been generally recognized because creatures that touch the EVA core for a long time will return to their basic life form.

Although Naoko Akagi is the leader of the second group that studies the core of EVA, Yui Ikari has done more in-depth research in this area.

Therefore, Ikari Yui was the first to give a conclusion.

"soul?"

This conclusion has no scientific basis and is purely a judgment based on intuition.

"Yes and no. To be more precise, it is a special substance that is bound by the soul. Of course, this is just my guess. This substance may also be the soul at the material level. However, I am more inclined to believe that the soul does not have a material form. I believe that the force of this special substance's binding form spreads out of the body and is formed."

The three of them did not dwell on this issue.

Whether it is a soul or a special substance affected by the soul is not important for now.

"What evidence do you have?"

"I've said this is just my guess, but there is evidence."

As he spoke, Fumihiko Ikari looked at the Ayami-style clone sitting in Ikari Yui's arms.

The three of them also looked over there. Except for Ikari Yui who looked thoughtful, the other two didn't understand.

If it were a normal child, he would definitely be nervous or even scared at this moment. However... the Lingbo-style clone was just like a real doll. Her expression did not change at all. Without any external influence, she would not do anything except for some primitive instincts as a living being, such as eating when hungry and sleeping when tired.

"She was cloned by combining your cells with EVA's cells, right?"

"Correct."

Ikari Yui responded and then expressed her understanding.

"You mean, there's Eva's soul inside her?"

"Yes, similar souls to be exact."

Ikari Fumihiko took over the topic and continued, "I think EVA has two kinds of adaptability. The first one exists at the biological level. The younger the age, the higher the degree of compatibility. The specific principle is unknown. The reason why the experimenters lost their human form and returned to the basic biological form in the previous experiment was that the experimenters did not pass the second adaptability verification, which is EVA's AT position.

These are the two keys to unlock the power of EVA.

Body and soul.

They are also the two basic elements of life.”

036. The stronger the emotions, the stronger the backlash will be in the future.

There was no such idea when the artificial pilot program was first established. The idea that having similar genes might increase adaptability led to such research.

Ikari Yui lowered her head in thought, obviously inspired by Ikari Fumihiko's theory.

"Yes, just as you thought, as long as these two conditions are met, we can inject new souls to change EVA's soul body."

The reason why he no longer concealed and told all this was because Fumihiko Ikari knew that the experiment was successful.

Even if he didn't say it, these things would be gradually researched out, so it would be better to use them now to increase his own voice.

Ikari Yui's eyes lit up.

What she had just said did inspire her, but she hadn't thought about it in that direction yet.

"Wen Yan, you think too highly of us. If you hadn't told us, we would have definitely come up with this plan in a short period of time."

The other two did not refute Ikari Yui, obviously agreeing with this statement, and were even more looking forward to the next experiment.

As long as it succeeds, it will prove Ikari Fumihiko's theory from the side.

Ikari Fumihiko took another deep breath and continued.

"Clones are clones after all, and they have many disadvantages. The most important one is the lack of emotions. I personally think that after the EVA is created, how much power it can burst out depends on the spiritual resonance between the pilot and the EVA. In other words, the more intense the emotional fluctuations, the higher the upper limit that can be touched."

Ikari Yui took over the conversation first.

"Are you saying that injecting cloned souls into EVA is meaningless?"

Professor Yamaki agrees with this view.

"Indeed, even if we develop some special means to write emotions into the clone's brain, these emotions will not belong to it after all, and there will always be something missing. I think we should start with the two emotions of love and maternal love. Both the former and the latter are the emotions that are closest to infinity among our many human emotions."

These words made Ikari Fumihiko a little scared, and at the same time a little surprised that the radical leader Professor Yamaki would have such an idea.

Naoko Akagi did not participate in the discussion as this area was not her expertise.

Moreover, her mind is now full of ideas about supercomputers, and her heart is no longer on Project E.

Ikari Fumihiko had already anticipated this and immediately shook his head.

joke!

He said this not because he wanted to take the main responsibility for Ikari Yui's disappearance.

"No! On the contrary, I think clones would be better."

"???"

The two looked at Ikari Fumihiko in surprise.

Time was short, and Ikari Fumihiko couldn't come up with a good reason, so he just put forward his own point of view, "Clones are essentially human beings. As humans, they have their own emotions, and they also contain some EVA genes in their bodies. Whether it is the body or the soul, the degree of compatibility with EVA in these two aspects is the highest among humans."

Ikari Yui was the first to refute this view.

"There are too many flaws in human cloning, and there is a possibility of it getting out of control."

The same is true for Professor Yamaki. Compared with clones, he trusts natural humans more. Moreover, the development of artificial pilots went too smoothly. Without investing much effort at all, they mastered this technology that only existed in theory. This made him a little uneasy, and therefore he was naturally wary of clones.

"The stronger the emotion, the stronger the backlash will be in the future."

Ikari Fumihiko smiled sarcastically.

"Since you don't trust her from the bottom of your heart, why did you develop human cloning?"

There is no other choice.

There is now.

It is naturally impossible to put the fate of all mankind in the hands of clones.

Professor Yamaki admitted it very straightforwardly.

"This is a mistake made by a single individual."

Ikari Yui shook her head and interrupted the argument that was about to continue.

"Okay, that's it for now. There's no point in arguing any more. Let's wait until the test results come out before we discuss this issue."

Having said that, I already have the answer in my heart.

Like Professor Yamaki, she supports natural humans and distrusts clones.

I have even started thinking about the candidates for the relevant experiments.

Seeing that the discussion was temporarily over, Naoko Akagi spoke to Fumihiko Ikari.

"I am planning to prepare a supercomputer project. Are you interested?"

If it were in the past, I would definitely refuse.

He knows nothing about this area. Getting involved would not only add to his workload but would also easily expose his ignorance.

But now I agreed without thinking.

The reason is simple. It will be more convenient to get close to Ritsuko Akagi in the future, and it will also improve my resume.

"it is good."

The three of them realized it then.

wrong!

It was only then that Naoko Akagi and Yui Ikari realized that Fumihiko Ikari had changed a lot after his return, but they did not care too much about it. They just thought that Fumihiko Ikari had figured it out himself, or that the top management had grasped Fumihiko Ikari's weakness and made him wake up. In any case... this change is now beneficial to the development of the E-plan.

Naoko Akagi took out a pen and paper, organized her thoughts, and then made a sketch in her notebook, recording the ideas in her mind.

Ikari Fumihiko took the sketch and took a look at it.

He couldn't understand many parts of the film, but that didn't stop him from finding faults based on the original plot.

"You think this system is too simple. In theory, a biological computer designed in this way has its own thinking. No matter how similar they are, there will be a certain deviation. Once a logical conflict occurs within the deviation range, only two ports are prone to underlying logic conflicts and cause downtime. If you divide them into primary and secondary ports, it will lead to performance waste."

Hearing Ikari Fumihiko's remarks, not only Akagi Naoko was surprised, but also Ikari Yui and the others.

This kind of research is not Fumihiko Ikari's strong point, but now he can point out the design flaws based on some sloppy design concepts.

If Naoko Akagi thought about it for a while, she would be able to find a solution, but her brain just couldn't come up with it right now.

"How do you think this problem can be solved?"

“The two-port design was changed to a three-port design, and once a disagreement occurred, the underlying protocol of the minority obeying the majority was adopted.”

Fumihiko Ikari drew three coffin-shaped ports on the blank page.

And he wrote three names on it.

Scholar, mother, woman.

and the overall project name.

The Three Sages supercomputer.

After thinking about it, he added three more words in front.

Brain in a vat.

Naoko Akagi took the notebook and took a look at it.

"Brain in a vat? This computer is essentially a brain trapped in a vat. Let's just cancel this title! It seems a bit too cruel."

On this point, Fumihiko Ikari has a different opinion.

"It's just like a fish living in water. The concept of AI in traditional computers is not cruel. The so-called thoughts are just the underlying code of traditional computing. The deviation value is caused by the difference in hardware. But it doesn't matter. No matter what it is called, it won't have any impact. I just think it's more straightforward and easier for outsiders to understand the technical route."

All right--

Apart from talking about these, he really didn't know what to continue chatting with Naoko Akagi. This topic was too professional and it was difficult to fool her.

The saying goes well.

If you pull the opponent into an area that you are familiar with, you can defeat him through your rich experience.

037. This world lacks a dark world

Ikari Yui said speechlessly at the side.

"It will only cause unnecessary speculation, right? It would be fine if you didn't mention the prefix. Once you say it, it will only make people think that this supercomputing is done by enlarging the human brain and putting it in a tank."

Akagi Naoko nodded in agreement.

"The Three Sages are better, and the prefix "Brain in a Vat" should be cancelled."

Fumihiko Ikari didn't expect that it would be Professor Yamaki who would be the first to speak up for him.

"Isn't that actually the case? Isn't your design just about placing the artificial brain in a specific container?"

very good!

Just continue the discussion based on this situation and don't return to the main topic.
