I participated in the development of EVA

Humans know too little about the lepton network and are still in the exploration stage like a blind man touching an elephant. It is not impossible that the lepton network will experience aggregation.

"If that's the case, we just need to simultaneously test the performance of the Three Sages system here to determine whether this situation has occurred, right?!"

At this point, an idea flashed through his mind, and after a pause he spoke excitedly.

"If that's the case, then we can also strengthen this artificial soul by stacking the number of Three Sages Systems, and thereby complete the artificial god plan..." He paused again, and after a moment he frowned and was about to add a sentence, but Akagi Naoko opened his mouth and said what he wanted to say.

"But in this case, we need to inject soul into the pilot like traditional EVA."

"Yes, the quality of the soul is the accelerant, and emotions are the fuel. Without fuel, no matter how strong the soul is, it is just like multiplying zero by any number will only equal zero."

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything and took action directly.

Ikari Fumihiko sat aside waiting for news, and an idea unconsciously emerged in his mind.

If this is the case, what role does the S2 agency play?

If it is fuel like emotions.

The effect of strong emotional fluctuations is the same as that of the S2 mechanism, sliding back and forth into a higher dimension and then sliding back to the original dimension to generate energy?

wrong……

This is not the point. The point is that if we calculate according to this idea, the second apostle Lilith is now a weakling with no defense ability. This is not only true for apostles, but also for humans. Her strength is probably not as strong as the ninth apostle Rain Angel, who bears the title of the weakest.

Is it really that weak?

I'm afraid it's really that weak.

According to the original setting, the second apostle Lilith ate the fruit of wisdom, so there is no S2 mechanism representing the fruit of life.

From this setting alone, it is not difficult to see that the second apostle Lilith is better at wisdom than strength.

However, compared to the viewpoint put forward in the original book, he felt that there was no such concept as the fruit of life and the fruit of wisdom, which had a strong religious color. The second apostle Lilith might simply be a mistake! Because of a genetic error, she lacked the s2 mechanism that the apostle should have.

He shook his head, clearing away these distracting thoughts from his mind.

No matter whether Lilith is a weakling now or not, it is meaningless even if we find out, at least it is meaningless to human beings now.

Let’s not talk about whether Lilith, the creator of mankind, has the ability to erase mankind.

He just wanted to completely eliminate Lilith. He felt that it was meaningless to just eliminate the main body of the research institute. All the apostle technology products produced by humans today must be destroyed together. Of course, this included the Lingbo series of clones. Even this was still not safe. Even if we infer from the existence of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Lilith's consciousness is likely to be spread throughout the human body.

As long as humans are not destroyed, Lilith will not die in the true sense.

This is a bit exaggerated.

The Dead Sea Scrolls may have been discovered by ancient people in ancient times, who received revelations from Lilith and left behind this book that seems like a prophecy.

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi sent a message.

【Done, overall performance improved by one billionth.】

This performance improvement may seem small, but in fact... it is not that big either. Even considering the size of the Three Sages system, it can be ignored.

However, if we look at it from the perspective of the growth of the Three Sages System by absorbing spiritual power, this number is a bit exaggerated. It has only been a short time since the virtual reality technology was completed, and there are only more than a hundred people participating in the experiment. It is still eight years before the apostles arrive, and the world has a population of nearly three billion.

[Does this mean what I understand? ]

As if worried that Ikari Fumihiko might not understand her hint, Akagi Ritsuko added another sentence.

[It's the concept you mentioned the other day when you gave me an ethics question.]

In addition to the text, the message sent by Ritsuko Akagi also included an emoticon of a woman clenching her fist to suppress her anger.

Fumihiko Ikari did not hide anything from Ritsuko Akagi.

[It may also be related to the lepton network. ]

【? ? ? ? 】

Ritsuko Akagi obviously didn't understand why the performance of the Three Sages System had inexplicably improved, and what this had to do with the spirit particle network.

[There may be attraction between spirit particles of the same sex. ]

At this point, a thought flashed through his mind that the Three Sages System was not a real machine.

[Well, in addition to this, it is also possible that the brain power of the Three Sages System has been exercised in daily use, thereby improving performance, just like humans improve their intelligence through learning. ]

18:22:49

512. Speculations triggered by new discoveries

Fumihiko Ikari shared this idea with Ritsuko Akagi and also with Naoko Akagi.

"Will the Three Sages System grow through continuous thinking? Just like humans improve their intelligence through learning?"

When Naoko Akagi heard this, she was visibly stunned, and she also apparently overlooked the fact that the Three Sages system was essentially closer to biological organisms.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment before looking up.

"I don't know, but this kind of thing only requires statistics."

After a pause, he added.

"Take a look at the results here and make further confirmation."

Although Naoko Akagi spoke concisely, Fumihiko Ikari still followed her train of thought.

If there is a difference in the performance improvement on both sides, it means that the performance improvement is caused by biological characteristics. Simply put, it is the increase in intelligence caused by thinking. If the improvement is the same, it cannot be distinguished. It may be that there is a aggregation phenomenon in the lepton network, or it may be caused by the dream program. If only the performance of the Three Sages system running the dream program has increased, it can basically be concluded that this is the change brought about by the dream program.

As to whether this could be a change caused by both the lepton network and the dream program.

possible.

But this just makes the verification process more troublesome.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is no verification. For human beings today, what is important is not how to grow, but that you can grow by doing so.

[Indeed, the Three Sages System and EVA are both mechanized organisms.]

Fumihiko Ikari just glanced at the message sent by Ritsuko Akagi and put away his phone. He had no interest in discussing these obvious things with Ritsuko Akagi.

"There are results."

At Naoko Akagi's reminder, he looked at the screen.

“There is no change in performance here.”

Naoko Akagi read out the result subconsciously.

Ikari Fumihiko also repeated it in a daze.

“There’s no change here.”

Naoko Akagi quickly came to her senses and asked Fumihiko Ikari excitedly.

"What's going on over there?"

Ikari Fumihiko was still in a daze.

Akagi Naoko asked again.

"What about over there?"

He just came back to his senses.

"The performance has improved... well, only by one billionth."

After hearing the news, Akagi Naoko, like Ikari Fumihiko before, was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know the specific situation of the virtual reality project team, she knew in her heart that there would definitely not be too many people participating in this test, and even compared to the entire human race, this number could be completely ignored.

The number of people who are born, grow old, get sick and die in a day is more than the current testers.

Ikari Fumihiko denied it with some disbelief.

“Maybe it’s not infinite growth…”

But he was interrupted by Akagi Naoko before he could finish his words.

"It's not allowed at the material level, but it's not necessarily allowed at the spirit level."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, he just walked to the computer and called up some data through commands.

Before he could say anything, Akagi Naoko spoke.

"It's the growth in the direction of the spirit particle."

The data that Fumihiko Ikari called up was the biological brain information of the Three Sages System of the Virtual Reality Project Team.

He was as familiar with these parameters as Naoko Akagi.

Just one glance shows that all parameters have not changed, and what this means is the same as what Naoko Akagi said.

Performance growth cannot occur in a vacuum.

Since there is no change in the biological brain, then it is naturally the lepton field that has changed.

He stared at the screen blankly.

At this moment, Naoko Akagi suddenly frowned. She felt an unusual touch on her body, which made her notice that Fumihiko Ikari was too close to her, and his elbow was even touching her chest.

She didn't say anything, but just moved away silently.

Noticing Akagi Naoko's action, Ikari Fumihiko realized his rashness just now. However, compared to this, he was more concerned about another issue, "You heard of a Buddhist concept... uh, it seems to be Buddhism? Or it could be Taoism. I can't remember which sect the concept is from, which has a concept of 'the world is like a sea of ​​suffering, people are in the sea, the body is a boat, and the soul is the person on the boat.'"

"You mean that if the mass of the spirit particle is too large, it will overwhelm the AT force field that maintains itself?"

"Correct."

Naoko Akagi lowered her head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"It depends on whether the 02 prototype can deploy the AT force field without injecting soul into it."

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

If the at force field can be deployed, it means that it is not the spirit particles that absorb the power of the mind to increase their mass, but that the mass increases under the stimulation of the power of the mind.

At this time, Naoko Akagi suddenly said something inexplicable.

"I believe it now."

"What did you believe?"

"Artificial gods were not your plan."

Before Ikari Fumihiko could continue speaking, Akagi Naoko added.

"If so, you wouldn't deny this discovery so much."

"Have it?"

"Yes, you even lost your mind and made such a low-level logical mistake in order to deny everything."

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

I won't make stupid logical mistakes? You think too highly of me! Come on, I'm a human being, it's normal to make mistakes, okay!

Of course, he would not tell these truths.

It is always better to be looked up to by others than to be looked down upon by others.

"This discovery is so amazing that it made my mind a little confused just now."

Akagi Naoko nodded, obviously believing what he said.

"Indeed, I now also need some time to digest this discovery."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded, and in order to regain the face he almost lost just now, he immediately started to talk nonsense.

“Right now this increase is likely to be temporary.”

"??"

Naoko Akagi did not speak, waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to continue.

Ikari Fumihiko organized his words before continuing his nonsense.

"The essence of the dream may be that the Three Sages System has deployed its own AT force field in the spirit particle field."

If you encounter something you don't understand in the world of EVA, you can think of it in terms of the AT force field and you won't go wrong.

Well, it's like 'when in doubt, use quantum mechanics'.

Naoko Akagi thought for a moment before she understood the meaning of Fumihiko Ikari's words.

"You mean, once the dream program is turned off, the internal mental power will dissipate?"
