I participated in the development of EVA

The Goose representative sent another message.

[When the impact of the end falls on this century, only the birds that fly freely can escape this inevitable destruction.]

Why does this sentence sound familiar?

Although he could understand what the other party wanted to express, he still couldn't help but complain.

[Even if you can fly, you may not be able to survive the third impact. ]

The representative of the goose side did not understand. He was just complaining and seriously discussing this issue. [Birds with the ability to fly freely are the creatures that survived the second impact the most. Only if humans master the ability to fly can they escape this predetermined destruction. However... the ability to fly that humans need to master is enough to destroy the apostles.]

After a pause, he added.

【Humanity needs your brain.】

[This is too scary.]

"Humanity needs your talents to take care of the future. Although it is hard to ask, I still want to say this, Professor Ikari, on behalf of all mankind, please do not waste your precious time on pleasure."

Don't I just want to experience virtual reality technology? As for rising to the level of all mankind!

This is what is meant by "If you wear the crown, you must bear its weight"!

【it is good. 】

The representative of the goose side then changed the subject.

[We have already seen the virtual cabin solution. ]

He didn't say anything, just waiting for the goose representative's follow-up words.

[After discussion, we decided to give full support. According to the plan, the game will be completed in about half a month. Then, within a month, the virtual game will be fully promoted in all major cities after reconstruction around the world. Within three months, it will be radiated to surrounding small and medium-sized cities. We will try to complete the preliminary arrangements of the plan within half a year.]

The early stages of the plan naturally involve allowing all of humanity to be exposed to virtual games.

Achieving the goal in half a year? That’s really too much.

He felt from these words that Nerv was determined to fight a do-or-die battle with the fate of all mankind at stake, but at the same time he was not optimistic about this determination.

It’s not that I feel this is fraudulent, but I feel that this determination cannot withstand the erosion of time.

There are still eight years until the Apostles arrive.

Can Nerv maintain this do-or-die momentum for eight years?

He is not optimistic about this.

The reason why we are determined to fight to the death now is that NERV has just been established, and this is the moment when we feel the crisis of the Apostles the most.

Simply put, people's nerves cannot remain tense for eight years.

All the passion will calm down under the influence of time.

18:22:12

509. At least it's not just lust

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

No, it’s too far to think about these.

Judging from the actions and not the heart, uh, it seems inappropriate to use this word here.

The idea is not to listen to what nerv says, but to watch what nerv does.

[Can you keep up with the progress over there? ]

The Goose representative was asking whether the progress of the 'artificial god' could keep up with the progress of the virtual game.

He was speechless.

Those things I put in the application were just to defraud funding, why did you take them seriously! ?

Ok……

I represent authority and professionalism.

If you don’t trust me, who else can you trust?

【Only by proving it can we know whether a theory is right or wrong. 】

He didn't want to overstate his opinion.

【We are waiting for your good results. 】

【Um. 】

Putting down his phone, he glanced at the prompt box on the computer screen, hesitated for a moment, and then closed the window.

Will you become addicted?

The answer is yes, I will definitely be addicted to it.

He has the highest authority among the three sages, which means that he will not be restricted by any rules in the dream world and can live like the God of Creation.

Who would want to live a hard life every day when they can live an easy life? ?

Especially for someone like him who has no responsibilities, it is impossible to refuse.

The moment I changed into my rest clothes, lay down in the rest cabin, and closed my eyes.

He couldn't understand it.

I can live recklessly, why do I have to live so restrained?!

The figures of Ayanami Rei and others flashed through his mind.

Is this what is called concern?

Well, I thought of Rei Ayanami. At least this is not just a matter of pure lust.

wrong……

It's not about lust.

There is everything in the dream, and everything can be satisfied.

This is... what is called having something to worry about.

The look his grandfather gave him before he traveled through time flashed through his mind. He knew that he couldn't let go of him, but he couldn't understand why. He had hands and feet and could support himself as long as he wanted to live. At this moment, he realized that what his grandfather hoped for was not that he could live, but that he could live happily.

While he was in a daze, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I... actually have such thoughts... Is this what they call... arrogance..."

He was not talking about his grandfather before he traveled through time, but his own idea of ​​"wanting the people around him to live freely."

If the people around you and yourself are ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with having such thoughts. As long as you become a plagiarist and make money, you can solve most of the problems, and the rest can be regarded as the spice of your life. However, standing in his position, any problem encountered cannot be solved by money, but by the right to speak.

He has the right to speak, but it is not easy to maintain this right to speak for a long time.

The people around him who were plotting against him were all elites among the elites of humanity, but what about him? He only had a reserve of knowledge, but his application of that knowledge was only at the level of an ordinary person.

Use mortal wisdom to fight the world and think you can do it.

If this isn’t arrogance, then what is it?!

After waking up from his sleep, he supported himself on the edge of the rest cabin with his hands and sat up. The first thing he did was to pick up the mobile phone beside him and take a look at it.

There was only one message from the assistant.

[Professor Dongyue wants to join the research and development project of the 02 prototype. ]

He was a little surprised. He had been rejected in person yesterday, so why did he submit the application?

I couldn't quite figure it out so I decided not to think about it anymore.

【拒绝。】

The assistant replied almost instantly.

【Yes. 】

After breakfast, I went to the 02 prototype project team.

Since the body was not in place and there was nothing else to do, Naoko Akagi started chatting with him.

"How was your experience?"

"No."

"???"

"The higher-ups have set up an access blacklist for the dream program."

"Can you undo this?"

“They were worried I would become addicted.”

Naoko Akagi was a little confused.

“They think too much.”

"Yep."

Faced with Akagi Naoko's bragging, he could only go along with what she said.

Then he explained again.

"There's no need to go against the higher-ups on such a trivial matter."

"Oh."

Time passes quickly.

When he woke up from the hibernation capsule again, the experimental body was finally delivered.

In order to save Longinus metal, the body used this time has the same specifications as the original prototype, with only an incomplete upper body.

"Try cutting consciousness first."

"Ah."

Faced with Akagi Naoko's proposal, he did not object and simply agreed. The two of them had already reached this conclusion.

After entering the command.

The Three Sages System then controlled the robotic arm to perform a craniotomy on the body.

Perhaps because the half-body structure is too similar to that of humans, some members of the project team with poor psychological endurance felt uncomfortable during the craniotomy without anesthesia. Some people even started to dry heave. Of course, this was only a small number of people. The vast majority of people, like Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi, were indifferent to this.

This is not a lack of empathy, it's just because of more experience.

Not to mention just a craniotomy, they have experienced scenes that are even more cruel and disgusting than this.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari thought of a problem.

"After the transformation, how are you going to activate the system? There is a core on it."

If the body carrying the core activates the system through neural connection, it is equivalent to injecting soul into the core.

Naoko Akagi's style of doing things is different from his. She thinks about the problem comprehensively enough and obviously had already thought about this problem when designing it.

Two words were given concisely and concisely.

"assimilation."

"Use the Three Sages 02 prototype to assimilate?"

"Correct."

He thought it wouldn't be that simple.

“This one has a core.”

“Try this solution first. If it doesn’t work, think about the solution.”

He thought about it for a moment and realized that the problem was not that complicated.

"If that doesn't work, you can use a restraint device to temporarily cut off the connection between the body and the core, or remove the core and then cultivate it again."

Akagi Naoko thought about it for a moment.

These two plans seem simple and crude, but in fact, Fumihiko Ikari has sufficient knowledge about EVA. The former takes advantage of the restraint between Longinus metal and EVA, while the latter takes advantage of the characteristics of the EVA creature.

Thinking of this, she nodded and accepted the plan.
