I participated in the development of EVA

"it is good."

Ikari Gendō responded.

Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi walked into the office.

Akagi Naoko spoke first, "You want to deceive him through the dream program?"

Only after confirming Fumihiko Ikari's intention of this experiment would she cooperate.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"That's just the last resort. I really want to see if the dream program can artificially interfere with the spirit field."

When talking about technical issues, Naoko Akagi became noticeably more interested.

"How to do it exactly?"

These days, she has actually been thinking about a similar question, how to interfere with the spirit particles through the dream program, but there has been no progress.

"By removing some of the restraints and releasing some of the EVA consciousness, we can then use the dream program to read Unit-01's dream... No, I should say Ikari Yui's dream. If this step fails, we can also try to pull her consciousness into the dream space. If we succeed, there will be a high probability that we won't need to sacrifice anyone to create EVAs in the future."

At this point, Fumihiko Ikari asked back with some curiosity.

"By the way, can a creature like Eva dream?"

"Its brain structure is basically the same as humans. In theory, it should be able to dream like humans. Of course, this is just theory. In reality, most of its organs are just decorations with no real function."

What Naoko Akagi said was almost the same as if she hadn't said anything.

It is true that listening to your words is like listening to my own words.

Akagi Naoko asked back.

"Do you think that those humans devoured by EVA are still alive? Haven't assimilated with EVA?"

"It is likely that the soul was assimilated, but not the consciousness."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"Sorry, what I said just now was a bit imprecise. I should say that the spirit particle was assimilated, but the consciousness was gone."

"I know."

Naoko Akagi frowned and thought for a moment before speaking again.

"You mean the essence of consciousness is a special kind of energy?"

"You can understand it that way, but I'm not sure what it is specifically. Well, I think the soul should be divided into two parts: spirit particle and consciousness."

Ritsuko Akagi nodded in agreement.

She was not stupid. After just a quick thought, she understood Ikari Fumihiko's thinking. She hadn't thought of this before simply because she had never thought about this aspect.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Do you want to take this opportunity to implant the dream program into Unit-01?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

Are you kidding me? Unit-01 is a guaranteed hit! How can we let Naoko Akagi mess around?

"You should use a prototype to verify your idea."

"Hasn't the prototype been destroyed?"

After seeing Naoko Akagi's size, Fumihiko Ikari remembered that Nerv had dismantled the prototype in order to recycle the Longinus metal.

"Build another one according to your idea."

"it is good."

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment and retrieved the files of the prototype from the computer.

The prototype was not completely destroyed, only the Longinus metal on it was removed, and the body was placed in the incubator and preserved.

What to keep this for?

Is this... wanting Ito Emi's descendants to become pilots? Probably not. I already have three EVAs in my hands, and they shouldn't do such a thing to aid the enemy. Oh, by the way... Professor Yamaki's soul remains inside, which is a relatively special research material, just like those cores that have devoured humans.

Naoko Akagi used her laptop and opened a document.

"This is my vision for Dream EVA. See if there is anything that needs to be modified."

Ikari Fumihiko looked at it carefully.

Naoko Akagi's general idea is to transform the EVA brain into a biological brain to run the dream program.

He had no objection to this idea.

There is only one point that needs to be discussed.

"Do we need to perform a consciousness removal surgery? If Eva is unconscious, it will probably affect the synchronization rate."

"Since we are going to experiment, we naturally have to do some subversion. Let's try cutting it off first. Maybe we can transform the EVA into an unmanned vehicle."

Naoko Akagi's idea is very good and there is a high probability that it will be successful if implemented.

However, there is a fatal problem.

"How are you going to solve the AT force field problem?"

Naoko Akagi naturally understood the meaning of Fumihiko Ikari's words. Without human mind completion, EVA would not be able to deploy the AT force field.

"Is it not possible to inject soul?"

"If we just inject souls, I'm afraid it won't work. Once a person enters the core, their consciousness will most likely fall asleep. Even if they don't fall asleep, they will be unable to perceive the outside world. Well, you can understand that the source of the driver's synchronization rate is these injected souls. Of course, the real situation is more complicated."

Ritsuko Akagi frowned.

She didn't know much about synchronization rate. No, to be precise, in this world, Fumihiko Ikari was the only one who had studied it the most in depth.

"No other options?"

She knew it.

An EVA that cannot deploy its AT force field is just a large toy with little practical value. It would be better to build more heavy tanks instead of spending a lot of money to build this.

"When I was in the virtual reality technology project team, Ritsuko and I discovered a strange phenomenon."

"Ok?"

"In the dream world, under the same synchronization rate, different people will deploy different AT force fields. As long as we understand the mystery, we should be able to artificially control the variable of the mind."

18:17:07

494.Are you trying to persuade me?

When Akagi Naoko heard this, she stood there in a daze, a little bit unable to believe it, but then she understood it.

The Three Sages System has made the abstract concept of human dreams concrete. At the same time, what Fumihiko Ikari had said before emerged in my mind: dreams are a reflection of the soul.

"Any progress?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"No."

Naoko Akagi nodded, not surprised.

Although she didn't know the details, she could tell from her own knowledge that this was a big project, and one that might not necessarily produce results. Some knowledge was in front of her, but she could understand it. It was like when an ordinary person was faced with an unfamiliar idiom, she could understand the four characters, but could not understand the specific meaning of the idiom.

She originally wanted to ask if Ikari Fumihiko wanted to find out what Seele wanted to do through Ikari Gendō, but now that she had encountered something that interested her, she no longer paid attention to this.

Her idea was simple: if Fumihiko Ikari couldn't handle this kind of thing well, then he wouldn't be able to handle it well even with her help.

He opened the original code of the dream program on his laptop and began to study it.

When Fumihiko Ikari saw this scene, he knew that Naoko Akagi was studying the mental variables that existed in the dream program.

“You are really a man of action.”

Akagi Naoko asked back without even raising her head.

"Anything else?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"Gone."

"..."

Naoko Akagi stopped talking, apparently focusing her attention back on her research.

Ikari Fumihiko withdrew his gaze from the other person.

The purpose of calling Naoko Akagi over this time, in addition to making her responsible for procedural issues, was mainly to allow her to create a false dream to deceive Gendō Ikari when the experiment failed.

Get up and go outside.

"Did we discuss it?"

"It's settled."

The two asked and answered each other, and then they watched in silence as the crowd busy around Unit-01.

After a long moment, Ikari Gendō spoke again.

"The experiment was successful. Can Ikari Yui really come back?"

"Whether or not I can bring people back to reality depends mainly on you."

Ikari Gendō said nothing.

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment before speaking again and adding another sentence.

"You may only have one chance."

"why?"

"If persuasion fails, she may refuse to be linked to the dream again."

Ikari Gendo muttered to himself.

"Once?"

"Correct."

Only then did Ikari Fumihiko realize that he had been thinking only about how to fool Ikari Gendō and had thus overlooked a very important thing.

This experiment may actually save people.

He lowered his head and began to think.

If Gendo Ikari really brings Yui Ikari back to reality, will it affect the original work's big guarantee, Unit-01?

I was just a little panicked, and then I calmed down.

It doesn't really matter if Ikari Yuima is rescued. Once this technology is mastered, the soul injection technology will enter the 2.0 era, and human souls will be able to enter and exit EVA's body freely. Although this will cause changes in the plot, but... well, the impact will be huge, and it will directly lead to the direction of the plot development becoming uncontrollable.

However, he felt that the possibility of Ikari Yui being rescued was very slim.

If Ikari Yui did not have great willpower, she would not have become the only individual who completely disappeared in the soul injection experiment. She would most likely have become like Asuka's mother, and at least part of her soul would have returned to reality.

After a long time, Ikari Gendō broke the silence again.

"What do you recommend?"

When he heard this question, Ikari Fumihiko knew that Ikari Gendō had no confidence in rescuing Ikari Yui.

He didn't reply.

"..."

It would do him no good if Ikari Yui came back, and besides, he really had no way to deal with this matter.

time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

When the project was about to start, an unexpected yet reasonable person came to the scene.

Fuyutsuki Kozo, Gendō Ikari's deputy.

Every time he saw Fuyutsuki Kozo, Fumihiko Ikari didn't know how to face this man.

After all, he is the father of his ex-girlfriend.
