I participated in the development of EVA

After saying this, a new idea came to Fumihiko Ikari's mind, so he added another sentence.

"It could also be that the synchronization rate is too low."

Naoko Akagi didn't quite understand. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth and asked Fumihiko Ikari a question.

"Low synchronization rate?"

"Yes! The synchronization rate is too low. It shouldn't be caused by the monkey's weak mind."

522. He doesn’t look free at all.

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment, but what he said was still confusing.

"How should I put it... I think we can't treat the power of the mind as a pure energy. Well, no, it should be classified as the same thing. It's probably divided into seven emotions and six desires. If you want to mobilize these mental powers, you must synchronize with these emotions... Well, this is just a preliminary guess. It may also be a whole."

Although the words were confusing, Naoko Akagi still managed to understand them.

"The power of the mind could be scattered emotions? Or it could be..."

She wanted to say, "It may also be a kind of whole," but when the words came to her lips, she thought of a concept proposed by Fumihiko Ikari earlier.

"Artificial soul?"

"Correct."

Ikari Fumihiko responded, and in his heart he admired Akagi Naoko's ability to understand.

If Naoko Akagi hadn't said this, he wouldn't have been able to clearly understand his own thoughts.

Igornov looked at the old monkey, whose body showed no abnormalities, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. In a nutshell, he felt that he had missed the opportunity to be remembered by human history.

I'm also confused. Can you please say something that humans can understand?

"Alright, turn off the virtual driving! Send someone to check on the old monkey."

"Ah."

Naoko Akagi turned off the virtual driving system.

Igornov contacted the virtual reality project team by phone to check on the old monkey's physical condition.

After examination by professional doctors, the old monkey was found to have no abnormalities in his body.

The two men focused their eyes on Ikari Fumihiko, obviously wanting to get the next instructions.

He didn't rush to speak, but lowered his head to think.

This experiment cannot fully prove that dreams have the ability to collect and store mental power, but it is very simple to prove it. Just leave it alone, wait for a while, and then let the old monkey deploy the AT force field through the virtual driving system. If it becomes stronger, it means it exists, and if there is no change, it means it does not exist.

"This experiment won't be finished in a short time. Igornov, go and tell the virtual reality project team to move to another location."

"it is good."

Naoko Akagi had obviously realized what Fumihiko Ikari wanted to do and added something.

"Increase the number of experimental monkeys to one hundred."

Igornov looked at Ikari Fumihiko.

Fumihiko Ikari knew that Naoko Akagi wanted to shorten the waiting time for the next argument by using quantity, so he nodded in approval.

Igornov then began to convey two orders.

Naoko Akagi frowned as she looked at the two brains plug-in on the screen. She was in a hurry before, but now that she had some free time, she could not stand this simple and rough style.

"Let's modify the blueprint now and hide the two external brains."

Naturally, Fumihiko Ikari would not object to such a small matter.

"What do you want to do?"

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything. She was not very good at this, so she modified the design drawing through the Three Sages System.

A bunch of design drawings were displayed on the big screen.

She clicked on one at random, and Fumihiko Ikari was stunned when he saw the image appearing on the screen.

"God's will."

The new form of the Type 02 prototype shown on the screen looks almost identical to the Providence Gundam.

"God's will? What God's will?"

Fumihiko Ikari realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately tried to make amends, "It's nothing, actually. When I was in school, I knew a classmate who liked robot animation. During break, he drew a robot that looked similar to the one on the screen. Well, the robot he drew was called Divine Will."

"God's will? This name is more suitable for current research than freedom."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't care about this.

"The name is just a code name. It doesn't matter what it is called."

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything. Just like Fumihiko Ikari said, it didn't matter whether it was an artificial god, freedom, or God's will.

"So this is the plan?"

"Row."

The Three Sages System only provides a design drawing, but there are still some details that need to be modified.

For example, the power supply problem of the external brain needs to be solved, and the heat dissipation problem of the equipment also needs to be solved.

These problems are not difficult to solve. The most convenient way is to directly install an independent power and cooling system. However, this simple and crude way of solving the problem is also very costly. This will make the Type 02 prototype have the same power outage crisis as other EVAs! And this problem is more serious than other EVAs.

For other EVAs, power outages would at most render them uncontrollable, but for the Type 02 prototype, power outages would cause damage to the two external biological brains, causing the dream program to crash.

A more complicated solution is to biologically transform EVA so that the two external brains can be integrated into the main body.

Of the two options, both Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi prefer the latter.

however……

The idea is good, but the ability is insufficient.

Although Longinus Metal can be used to limit EVA gene repair, EVA was designed with only one set of brain power supply facilities when it was first shipped out.

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment and said something a little uncertainly.

“Add solar energy?”

Ikari Fumihiko added another sentence.

"After He is finished, there will be no need for close combat, and there will be no need to worry about the destruction of solar energy during combat."

"It's possible, but the limitations are a bit too great."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Akagi Naoko frowned and thought for a while before speaking as if she had figured it out. "Actually, this problem is not as complicated as we thought. Didn't you say that we need to encapsulate Him with metal later? We can just add a kinetic energy generator to it, and when it runs out of power, we can let Him generate electricity through this device."

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it and understood.

With the power generation device, whether the Type 02 prototype uses physical strength to drive the device or mental power to drive the device, it can generate enough electricity.

"Use the power of the mind! This will give us more space to store lcl."

EVA without the S2 mechanism needs to supplement LCL to maintain the energy consumed in daily activities. Simply put, LCL is the food of EVA.

"No matter what is used, the internal device structure is the same, and it drives the motor to generate electricity by pushing the transmission device."

As Naoko Akagi spoke, she perfected the design drawings.

Ikari Fumihiko took a look at the rendering.

They discovered that Naoko Akagi had installed seven power generation devices, apparently taking combat damage into consideration.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Compared to biological weapons, the Type 02 prototype is more like an energy conversion device."

"Yes, I also think that the greatest function of the Type 02 prototype is to transform the uncontrollable power of the mind into energy that humans can use."

Naoko Akagi paused and added another sentence.

"I now feel that your previous naming of Him is not quite appropriate... Do you think He has any freedom at all?"

"Uh, well, it's definitely inappropriate."

The final form of the Type 02 prototype really had nothing to do with freedom.

After all, the entire EVA is encapsulated in a huge dark metal ball.

18:25:38

523. I’m jealous again.

Ikari Fumihiko replied half-jokingly.

"Why not just call me Tiedan?"

"..."

Naoko Akagi widened her eyes and looked at Fumihiko Ikari in disbelief.

This was the first time that Fumihiko Ikari saw Naoko Akagi with such a speechless expression.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

He changed the subject.

"I forgot to ask Yae Mizu for blessings for this experiment."

Naoko Akagi obviously didn't want to discuss the topic of the artificial god called Tiedan.

"She was a very talented researcher, but now you have made her completely transformed into a miko."

Ikari Fumihiko gave a dry laugh.

"This shows that she has the talent to be a witch."

"probably."

The two chatted for a while and then focused their energy on work.

Two days later, the Type 02 prototype was officially transformed into the God Providence Gundam.

At the same time, the second startup verification also began.

After the virtual driving system was started, it seemed that the monkey had gained experience from the first time, or it might be because a keeper and a large amount of food were arranged in advance this time. In short, the old monkey was no longer as panicked as last time.

While the program is being activated...

Fumihiko Ikari also put his hand on the emergency termination button. As long as the situation was not right, he would disconnect the connection immediately.

"Success?"

"Success."

The two looked at each other.

There were no accidents this time. Just as they had speculated, the dream program provided mental power for the Type 02 prototype, and the old monkey successfully deployed the AT force field.

The eyes of the three people in the laboratory were all focused on the at stand, which was emitting a warm white light under the light.

It took a long time before he turned his gaze away.

"Want to do a strength test?"

Hearing what Akagi Naoko said, Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"Animals are mentally handicapped and can go crazy if provoked. It would be bad if that backfired."

Naoko Akagi nodded and then spoke.

"Your ladder plan may fail."

Fumihiko Ikari heard what Naoko Akagi was saying, that the AT force field requires human cooperation to deploy. If the ladder is built according to the method he envisioned at the time, someone must stay in the dream forever.

He shook his head.

"Just make some adjustments based on the actual situation. The essence of the ladder is to launch objects into space."

Naoko Akagi nodded and said nothing more.
