I participated in the development of EVA

But after thinking about it for a long time, the two of them still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The current synchronization rate model seems to have reached a logical closed loop.

After being left aside for a long time, Rei Ayanami couldn't help but ask.

"I want to go to the toilet."

Hearing this, Akagi Naoko seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised her head.

Fumihiko Ikari's attention was not on Naoko Akagi, so he did not notice this situation at the first time.

He manually closed the virtual link.

"Go."

It was not until then that I noticed Naoko Akagi, who was inputting code into the module.

When she finished entering the code, a large number of light spots escaped from the sphere representing mental power again.

Fumihiko Ikari didn't think that Naoko Akagi had entered the previous code again, and he carefully looked at the code that Naoko Akagi had just entered.

But before he could wait, he saw something.

Naoko Akagi began to explain.

"The power of the mind also obeys the law of conservation of energy, which states that mass cannot increase out of thin air."

Fumihiko Ikari has some of the same logic as Naoko Akagi.

"???"

Naoko Akagi explained again.

"Overclocking mode."

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari still couldn't react immediately, but combined with the new code input by Naoko Akagi, he also reacted and sorted out the logic that Naoko Akagi wanted to express.

"You mean, the synchronization rate is not a fixed value?"

"Yes, this is the essence of the 'psychic variable' you discovered earlier."

Fumihiko Ikari almost forgot the concept of mental variables.

In previous virtual reality experiments, different people driving Unit-0 with the same synchronization rate showed different force field strengths.

At that time, he thought that this was the key to humans creating AT force field devices.

It was not until now that I realized that the essence of this mental variable is actually soul strength.

After understanding this, he also understood the logic of the overclocking mode and why Naoko Akagi said that mental power also obeys the law of conservation of energy.

"You mean the overclocking state doesn't mean using power beyond EVA, but rather using power beyond what one can mobilize?"

"Yes, just like what is shown on the screen."

The mental power in the dream on the big screen was divided into two parts, one part was gathered on the virtual model of Rei Ayanami, and the other part was scattered in the dream.

Akagi Naoko added another sentence.

"Whether this ratio is true or not, there is no specific data to support it. I can only set a number at random. The specific situation cannot be found out for the time being."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

He also fully understood the specific logic, which was that the amount of spiritual power in the dream that the Type 02 prototype could mobilize was not determined by the Type 02 prototype, but by the pilot's mind. At the same time, the mind was not a fixed data that would never change. Strong emotional fluctuations would make the mind stronger or weaker.

This is the essence of overclocking mode and the essence of mind variables.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, he couldn't help but ask.

"I think this mental force is also affected by the Type 02 prototype."

"Ok?"

Naoko Akagi responded in confusion, obviously not understanding the meaning of Ikari Fumihiko's words.

Only then did Ikari Fumihiko speak out his thoughts.

"Have you forgotten about the improvement of biological brain performance by the virtual reality project team?"

This time Naoko Akagi reacted.

"You mean the Type 02 prototype will be strengthened by cultivating the power of the mind... No! It would be more appropriate to say that it will be raised."

"Yes, that's right. As the Type 02 prototype becomes stronger, the strength of the AT field will increase as the pilot remains unchanged and the synchronization rate remains the same."

Naoko Akagi did not nod in agreement, but spoke instead.

“It’s not hard to test this.”

528. Raising Gods

Just as Naoko Akagi said, this is not difficult to verify.

All you have to do is switch the dream host that was invaded by monsters to the Type 02 prototype, raise it for a while, and then let Rei Ayanami test it.

This time, Fumihiko Ikari did not object.

It's not that he doesn't worry about Rei Ayanami's safety, but now that he understands the nature of the mental variables, he knows that Rei Ayanami will be fine. No matter how huge the mental power accumulated in the dream of the monster invasion is, Rei Ayanami can only mobilize the scale that she can bear. In other words, as long as Rei Ayanami does not enter the overclocking mode, there will be no danger in mobilizing power beyond her own.

"Then let's move on to the next stage of the experiment."

Akagi Naoko nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing that Igornov did not react, Fumihiko Ikari knew that the other party could not keep up with the pace.

Just a reminder.

"The monkey dream can be closed now."

"Yes."

Only then did Igornov know what he was going to do.

Turn off the monkeys' dreams and send the experimental monkeys back to the breeding center.

At this time, Naoko Akagi also completed the dream transfer.

The monster invasion dream was transferred to the Type 02 prototype, and at the same time... Fumihiko Ikari's cell phone rang.

It’s Ritsuko Akagi calling.

After the call was connected, Ritsuko Akagi asked without waiting for him to speak.

"Did you do something with your mother? Why did I lose control of my dreams?"

Although Ritsuko Akagi knew about the artificial god plan, Fumihiko Ikari still did not tell the truth at this moment. He just gave a simple explanation in a vague way.

"Well, we transferred the dream to another Three Sages."

"Please! Couldn't you have given me advance notice for this kind of thing? No! You should have given me advance notice if you wanted to do this."

"Well, okay, I'll let you know now."

Ritsuko Akagi was left speechless.

"…You're not notifying me until you've done everything. What's the point?"

Fumihiko Ikari didn't want to continue to argue with Ritsuko Akagi about this matter.

So he said, "Wait a moment, I will open remote control permissions for you." Then he hung up the phone.

Although Naoko Akagi could not hear what Ritsuko Akagi said on the other end of the phone, she heard what Fumihiko Ikari said, so without waiting for Fumihiko Ikari to speak, she opened remote control permissions for the virtual reality project.

It may be because Naoko Akagi treats Ritsuko Akagi as her child. Although Ritsuko Akagi also has the highest authority, her authority is one level lower than that of Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi. Otherwise, she would not have to call, and she could remotely add a remote control right for herself.

Naoko Akagi obviously didn't want to waste time waiting.

"Raising them this way is too slow. Contact your superiors and see if you can increase the number of people."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded in response.

"it is good."

Then he said something to Igornov.

"Go and make arrangements."

"Yes."

At this time, Rei Ayanami also came back from the bathroom.

"What should I do next?"

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking.

"Go take a rest first, I'll let you know later."

"Ah."

Rei Ayanami turned and left, apparently going to buy a Coke from the vending machine in the corridor outside the project team.

Naoko Akagi seemed to know his plan and had already started to act.

An area was marked out at the outermost edge of the monster invasion dream and used as the test area for the Type 02 prototype startup.

Fumihiko Ikari sent a message to Ritsuko Akagi through Emperor Penguin.

[We have set aside an area for experiments. Please avoid this area during your training.]

Ritsuko Akagi replied almost immediately.

【it is good. 】

Only then did Fumihiko Ikari say something to Naoko Akagi.

"Instead of using the Unit-02 model, build a model for the Type- prototype."

"Ah."

Naoko Akagi responded, and then used the design drawings to let the Three Sages System complete the modeling of the Type 02 prototype.

"Oh, by the way, before loading the model, take confidentiality measures."

"Ah."

Before loading the model, Naoko Akagi hid the designated test area.

"This way, outsiders will not be able to discover and enter this area."

"it is good."

Ikari Fumihiko responded and sighed in his heart, "She is worthy of being Akagi Naoko... Her control over the Three Sages System is much better than Akagi Ritsuko's."

The model was loaded, and the Type 02 prototype, which looked % like the Divine Will, stood above the earth.

At the same time, a set of detailed data of the Type 02 prototype was also shown.

The data changed at this time.

Naoko Akagi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but speak.

"effective."

Ikari Fumihiko also noticed it.

The Type 02 prototype is evolving... No! Uh... It doesn't seem to matter. He couldn't tell for a moment whether it was getting stronger or evolving.

A sentence popped into his mind.

The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul.

Uh……

This sentence seems to be somewhat out of place with the current situation.

“It works really quickly.”

Naoko Akagi sighed.

"This situation is exactly as described when the plan was proposed... raising gods."

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it and felt that the word "raising" was not appropriate now, and it would be more appropriate to use "complementing".
