I participated in the development of EVA

“Speaking of which, this scene is really incredible!

Normally, if the EVA has a 2% synchronization rate, it can only be started with difficulty and the driver can only move his fingers slightly, which is enough to make the driver sweat and overdraw his physical strength. Now, these people can make the EVA move normally with a synchronization rate of only 0.2% through virtual driving. "

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything, and he didn't need the other party to explain.

Because he knew in his heart that the reason for this situation was that these drivers were assisted by the Three Sages System.

It's like having a car without power brakes.

Normal EVA driving relies entirely on the driver's mind and body to control this power, while virtual driving requires the driver to convey his or her thoughts to the EVA brain that has been transformed by the Three Sages System.

This experiment was carried out for a week.

During this period, not only was the disability completion system improved, but sufficient data was also collected to ensure the safety of virtual driving.

The experiment went smoothly, but the problems were also very obvious.

Fifty death row prisoners participated in the experiment repeatedly during this week, and none of them had a synchronization rate higher than 2%. The highest was 1.5 percent, and the lowest was 0.1 percent.

"Pain, sadness, happiness, anger, hatred, fear, excitement... all these emotions have appeared in them, but the synchronization rate has not changed at all."

Naoko Akagi's words were a bit incoherent.

But Ikari Fumihiko understood.

"According to the data at hand, the form of spiritual power is probably a whole, not scattered emotions. In simple terms, it is a kind of pure energy."

"Ah."

Akagi Naoko responded and spoke again.

"Is this artificial soul really just pure energy without consciousness? If so, why do some people have different synchronization rates?"

"It is highly likely that there is no consciousness. The synchronization rate most likely reflects the strength of a person's mind."

Naoko Akagi obviously didn't hear what Fumihiko Ikari wanted to express.

"?"

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before he began to explain.

"You can think of it as a seesaw or a balance. If you want to leverage the power of the artificial soul, you must have an equal spiritual quality. Of course, this is just a metaphor. I don't know if it's true or not."

This time, Naoko Akagi understood, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.

"If that is the case... who among humans can harness this power?"

This time, Fumihiko Ikari didn't say anything else.

Indeed, just as Naoko Akagi worried, after artificial gods are created, there may be a problem that no one will be able to control them.

However, this worry only flashed through my mind.

In the original work, Ikari Yui and Ikari Shinji have already demonstrated the limits of what human power can achieve.

Well, it seems that we cannot say that. The power displayed by Unit-01 after its awakening is most likely controlled by Lilith behind the scenes.

wrong!

Why should I worry about these things?

This is mankind's tribute to the Mother Goddess Lilith.

With such a 'sacrifice' that can continuously obtain a large amount of spiritual power, Lilith should not choose the path of human completion! ?

Thinking of this, his frown relaxed.

As long as this covert move can successfully make Lilith give up human completion, no matter how hard Seele struggles, they are just a group of jumping clowns and cannot cause any waves.

The Apostle Crisis would also become a joke.

Naoko Akagi noticed this and immediately started asking questions.

"Have you thought of a solution?"

Ikari Fumihiko responded almost instinctively.

"No! But I believe in humans."

Naoko Akagi obviously couldn't understand this idea, because no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't imagine what kind of human being could harness the power of a perfect artificial god.

A sentence flashed through her mind and she said it subconsciously.

"Just like you believe in me, believe in yourself?"

Ikari Fumihiko continued to make up nonsense.

"Yes, we have to believe in ourselves and believe in humanity."

Naoko Akagi couldn't understand Ikari Fumihiko's optimism at this moment, but she frowned and finally chose to believe Ikari Fumihiko's judgment.

Simply put, she did not choose to believe in humans, but chose to believe in Fumihiko Ikari.

Igornov was completely confused as he listened to what was happening. He obviously couldn't keep up with the pace of the two people, but he didn't ask any questions. He just silently recorded everything and acted like an emotionless reporting machine.

Naoko Akagi brought the conversation back to the point.

"Next, should we have Rei Ayanami conduct the test in the monster invasion dream? Or should we test it in the monkey dream?"

Monsters invading dreams is the dream that the virtual reality project team has been maintaining.

The spiritual power accumulated by the former is far greater than that in the monkey's dream, because hundreds of people are providing spiritual power day and night.

Fumihiko Ikari was a little hesitant to test it, fearing that the synchronization rate would be too high, causing this huge mental power to directly assimilate Rei Ayanami.

"Be cautious and continue testing on the monkey's dream."

After receiving the notice, Rei Ayanami came to the project team again.

however……

The experimental results were very unsatisfactory.

Ayanami Rei, who was highly expected, only had a synchronization rate of 02% with the Type 15.36 prototype.

Both of them were a little confused by this result.

Although 15.36% is much higher than the previous batch of death row prisoners, it is still too low.

Ikari Fumihiko was the first to come to his senses.

"Could it be that these are two different models of EVA with different synchronization rates? Er, no, we guessed wrong before, and the synchronization targets are not artificial souls, but all souls connected to the dream network? If that's the case... Li's current synchronization rate of 15.36% is actually very high."

"It's possible that the difference between the two is like a computer. Model 01 is single-core, and Model 02 is multi-core."

Naoko Akagi responded and then entered a string of code, obviously having thought of how to prove this problem.

After all the one hundred monkeys were forced out of the dream, she looked up at the synchronization rate.

Still...

15.36%No change.

"Not in sync with all the souls in the dream network."

Ikari Fumihiko frowned.

This shouldn’t be the case… As Lilith’s clone, how could Li not be able to control this power?

"Not compatible enough?"

Naoko Akagi was equally confused.

"Maybe."

In the field of spirit particles, even Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi, who are at the forefront, are no different from blind men touching an elephant.

wrong!

It's harder than a blind man touching an elephant.

A blind man can at least feel around an elephant with his hands, but now they don’t even have a way to observe leptons and can only speculate based on some minor details.

527. The Nature of Mental Variables

Without any ideas, the two of them didn't force it.

Continue with subsequent experiments.

Simulation strength test.

"According to the proportional calculation, the AT deployed by the one hundred monkeys with the stored mental power for two days is 75% lower than the normal EVA."

After hearing Naoko Akagi's report, Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised. This conclusion had already been vaguely answered in the previous death row experiment, but the lack of a control group made it impossible to come up with a clear value.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Quantity determines quality, and the number of accumulated days represents quantity?"

Naoko Akagi lowered her head and thought for a moment.

"You mean an artificial soul... like this?"

As she operated, a light ball formed by hundreds of light points appeared on the big screen.

"Almost the same, but they should be of different sizes. Monkeys should be the same as humans, and there should be differences between individuals."

Naoko Akagi made some simple modifications according to Fumihiko Ikari's words.

The ball of light became irregular.

Ikari Fumihiko pondered for a moment and then added another sentence.

"This is too ugly. Let's make it more regular."

Naoko Akagi still didn't say anything, but just turned the light ball back into a regular sphere.

This made Ikari Fumihiko feel comfortable.

Naoko Akagi raised a question.

“Why do the points of light gather together?”

As she spoke, she opened a window again and showed her thoughts.

The light spots are randomly distributed in the dream world.

Fumihiko Ikari felt something was wrong.

"If that's the case, then every time the monkey logs in and out, it will create a spirit particle?"

After saying that, he sat in front of the computer and added a set of data.

Naoko Akagi looked at the data and nodded thoughtfully.

"The spirit particles condensed by the same people will merge together? No, it is not certain whether these are spirit particles or not."

“Always have to have a name, and then correct it later if you find it’s wrong.”

"It's more accurate to call it the power of the mind."

"Ok."

Ikari Fumihiko did not take this seriously. After responding, he entered a string of code on the computer.

The light spots representing the power of the mind gathered towards Ayanami Rei.

At the same time, he spoke out his thoughts.

"Someone in the dream mobilized... No! It was the Type 02 prototype that generated a traction force when it deployed its force field, mobilizing the power of the mind..."

When Fumihiko Ikari was halfway through his speech, Naoko Akagi added another set of codes.

Immediately, 84.64% of the mental power stopped gathering.

Ikari Fumihiko lowered his head and thought for a moment before shaking his head and speaking again, "I think all the spiritual power should be gathered over there, but because of the synchronization rate, only 13.46% of the energy can be mobilized. Otherwise... for someone like you, the synchronization rate should show 13.46%, not %."

Naoko Akagi hesitated and finally deleted the set of codes she added.

But his brows were still furrowed.

He obviously felt that Ikari Fumihiko's guess was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Seeing this, Ikari Fumihiko also lowered his head and began to think.
