I participated in the development of EVA

"Professor Fuyutsuki, go over and ask Commander-in-Chief Ikari for the details."

Fuyutsuki Kozo did not follow Ikari Fumihiko's orders.

"In his current state, asking him questions would only be a waste of time and would not yield any results. If you want to know anything, wait until he is more clear-headed."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded and said nothing more.

Given Ikari Gendō's current condition, there really isn't much that can be asked.

18:17:31

496. Sorry, I was a little tired yesterday and took a day off.

Although Unit-01's link was severed, its consciousness was still in a state of total suppression and it did not go berserk.

"Terminate the experiment."

"The restraints are closed."

As the stop button was pressed, Unit-01's eyes dimmed.

Ikari Fumihiko's eyes fell on Ikari Gendō.

Ikari Gendo lay on the hospital bed with a dull look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

He looked at Unit-01 again.

Then he said something to Naoko Akagi.

"come here."

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi came to the office.

Akagi Naoko spoke first.

"How about it?"

When Fumihiko Ikari accessed the background program just now, she noticed the data changes.

"The experiment was successful. The dream program pulled Ikari Yui into the dream. The failure of this experiment... is the breakdown of the relationship between the couple."

"Broken relationship? Aren't they in a very good relationship?"

"What we see is just the surface. Ikari Yui believes that Ikari Gendou only loves himself and is unwilling to return to reality."

"I don't understand."

"To put it simply, the theory is correct, but the problem lies in the personnel."

Akagi Naoko nodded.

"Do you want to continue?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't reply, and the image of Asuka flashed through his mind.

At this stage, the most suitable candidates for this experiment are Unit 02 and Asuka, but the situation of Unit 02 is different from that of Unit 01.

The soul of Yui Ikari inside Unit-01 is intact, but the soul inside Unit-02 is incomplete.

"Let's stop it for now."

Asuka's mother, Kyoko, is a person with great willpower like Ikari Yui, and is also difficult to rescue. Of course, this is not the main reason. He terminated the subsequent experiments mainly because Asuka is too young now. If he continues the experiment on the No. 2 machine, he will have to tell Asuka the truth.

It would be good if the rescue was successful, but if it failed, he didn't know whether Asuka could withstand the blow.

What's more, there is not enough data to support the safety of this experiment.

Naoko Akagi hesitated for a moment, but finally said a name.

"Professor Yamaki."

Only then did Ikari Fumihiko remember that there was another suitable person.

Professor Yamaki had part of his soul devoured by the prototype.

After thinking for a while, he nodded.

"can."

After saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed Ibuki Emi's number.

The call was connected after a while.

Both sides were silent and no one spoke. After a long time, he was the first to speak and broke the silence.

"it's me."

"I know."

Once again he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After another long silence, he spoke.

"I have set up a new project here. Theoretically, it can bring back the missing part of Professor Yamaki's soul, but the experiment will have certain risks."

"No need, it's fine like this now."

Ibuki Emi's refusal was beyond Ikari Fumihiko's expectations.

Are you refusing because you are worried about the risks of the experiment?

Before he could speak, Ibuki Emi spoke first.

"Any thing else?"

He replied with a dry mouth.

"Gone."

Ibuki Emi hung up the phone directly.

Fumihiko Ikari put away his phone uncomfortably.

"She refused."

"Did you just call Professor Yamaki's granddaughter?"

"Ah."

Akagi Naoko nodded without asking the reason.

Ikari Fumihiko spoke up and confirmed the follow-up plan.

"Wait a day. If Ikari Gendō hasn't recovered yet, we'll start developing the Type 02 prototype."

"it is good."

The two walked out of the office and returned to the main control room.

Fumihiko Ikari found Kozo Fuyutsuki.

"Professor Dongyue, go and inform him that if he can't adjust his mentality within one day, the experiment here will be sealed first."

Fuyutsuki Kozo nodded.

"it is good."

After answering, he did not leave, but asked a question in return.

“Can I join your subsequent R&D projects?”

"What project do you want to join?"

“Follow-up related research on this experiment.”

After all, Fuyutsuki Kozo is Fuyutsuki Kana's father. Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before briefly explaining the situation. "For this project, even if he can recover from the shock within a day, all we can do is adjust the release ratio of the restraint device and try to establish a link with Unit-01 again. There is no value in further research. If you want to participate, this can be completely left to you."

Dongyue Gengzo shook his head.

"It's not this project. It's a follow-up study on the interference of dreams on the lepton field."

Fumihiko Ikari couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he neither agreed nor refused.

"I'll think about it. You go and inform him first."

"Ah."

Fuyutsuki Kozo got up and went to the medical room to find Ikari Gendo.

Looking at Ikari Gendo whose eyes had lost their light, he sighed inwardly.

This was the first time he saw Ikari Gendō like this, and he also knew that Ikari Gendō had met Ikari Yui during this experiment.

Then he spoke.

"Minister, I'm told that if you can't adjust your mindset within a day, the research here will be temporarily terminated."

"You can't terminate it!"

Ikari Gendō's eyes regained focus, and he reacted greatly as if he was stimulated.

"..."

Dongyue Gengzo didn't say anything.

Ikari Gendō was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"I just saw Wei."

"I got it."

"Wei rejected me."

"why?"

Ikari Gendo was confused.

"do not know."

He really couldn't understand why Ikari Yui rejected him.

"Again?"

"..."

Ikari Gendō did not respond because he knew in his heart that even if he did it again the result would not change.

Fuyutsuki Kozo could see that Ikari Gendō had realized why Ikari Yui rejected him, but Ikari Gendō was unwilling to admit it.

He was silent for a while before changing the subject.

"Could what you just experienced be a dream they made up?"

"No, I can feel it, that is Wei, the real Wei, not a dream."

Ikari Gendō's tone was very certain.

Dong Yue Geng asked in rebellion.

"What do you want to do now?"

Ikari Gendō was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"I want Shinji to come over and try."

Dongyue Gengzao was not surprised by this.

"Based on his style of doing things, he would not agree to this kind of thing."

Ikari Gendō heard that Fuyutsuki Kozo was talking about Ikari Fumihiko.

He looked at Fuyutsuki Kozo without saying anything, but Fuyutsuki Kozo knew what he wanted to ask.

Is it really impossible to steal the permissions of the Three Sages system?

If you want to bypass Ikari Fumihiko, the only option is to steal the permissions of the Three Sages System.

Dongyue Gengzo shook his head.

Not only he and Ikari Gendō were studying how to steal the Three Sages System, almost all forces were working hard to tackle this issue. However... let alone stealing permissions, everyone now only had a vague understanding of the technical information of the Three Sages System, let alone understanding the deeper logic of permission authentication.

The two of them didn't speak again, but they completed the communication.

The breakthrough in this regard still has to start with Professor Akagi and his daughter.
