I participated in the development of EVA

The experiment began again.

This time, to be on the safe side, Fumihiko Ikari gave a notice in advance to shut down the channel that allowed monsters to invade the dream world.

Sitting at the console, he took a deep breath.

"Remove the lower body restraints."

Under the control of the Three Sages system, the robotic arm removed the lower body restraint device of the Type 02 prototype.

"Let's do a dream transfer."

Naoko Akagi was already prepared and pressed the enter key.

The monster invasion dream was transferred to the Type 02 prototype.

Without the obstruction of the restricting device, the milky white flesh on the lower body of the Type 02 prototype immediately began to wriggle, and the flesh was growing rapidly in a manner visible to the naked eye.

Ikari Fumihiko paid attention to the data of the incubator. No, he didn't even need to look at the data given by the computer. He could see the changes in the lcl in the incubator with his naked eyes.

LCL is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After paying attention for a while, he stopped paying attention.

It's not that these things are unimportant, but he knows that the nutrients in the incubator where the Type 02 prototype is located are not enough for it to evolve indefinitely. Of course, nothing is absolute. In this situation, unless the Type 02 prototype can break its own limitations and evolve a biological energy conversion device similar to the S2 mechanism, it can convert the power of the mind into energy that the body can absorb.

otherwise……

He continues to evolve and unlock his own biological limitations, and the result he faces is the same as that of the eleventh angel, the Terror Apostle in the original novel.

self-destruction.

Naoko Akagi reported the data with an expressionless face.

"No abnormality in the brain... The body has stopped evolving, and data analysis and comparison are in progress... The lower body is severely underdeveloped."

There was nothing abnormal about the appearance of the Type 02 prototype, but according to the data fed back by the sensors, its lower body was severely underdeveloped.

Fumihiko Ikari breathed a sigh of relief and took a look at the data from the incubator. There were still absorbable nutrients inside, which meant that the reason why the Type 02 prototype ceased to evolve was not due to lack of nutrition, but insufficient mental power.

"We scared ourselves earlier. This level of mental power is not enough to push the Type 02 prototype beyond its limits."

After saying that, he looked at Igornov.

"We have completed tests on 1,000 and 10,000 people, and are preparing for tests on 100,000 people..."

At this point, he paused.

"If the 100,000-level test still cannot reach the peak, if we want to reach the 1 million and 10 million levels... we can only conduct a public beta test to collect data."

532.Games

Igornov added.

"Of course, this is just a test at the million-level, so Nerv can certainly complete it internally. However... the effect is too low and the cost is too high. That's why we are planning to use the game's early public beta test. This will not only warm up the game, but also reduce the population loss caused by the arrival of this year's suicide season to a certain extent."

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar term "suicide season", Fumihiko Ikari sighed.

"Seven years have passed. Now in the outside world...are there still so many people who can't find the meaning of living?"

Akagi Naoko did not respond.

Igornov sighed.

"The older you get, the harder it is to get over that trauma."

The image of his first girlfriend, Kana Fuyutsuki, appeared in Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

He sighed secretly in his heart again. In the second impact, a catastrophe that wiped out half of the population, the survivors lost too many things. Many people who could not get out of it became neither human nor ghost. Some even regarded the world as purgatory and death as liberation... the only salvation.

He looked at Akagi Naoko.

"What do you think the upper limit of a single server should be?"

Naoko Akagi didn't guess, but just shook her head.

“The data is insufficient to make an inference.”

"Skip the 100,000 level and go straight to the 10 million level... Well, forget it, let's just go all the way and conduct an open beta test with no limit on the number of people."

Igornov shook his head.

"We were originally planning to adopt this approach, but we eventually adopted the gradual and cyclic approach because the technology was not yet mature enough for public testing."

"Technology? What kind? Games? Or something else?"

"I can't explain all aspects clearly at once. If you want to know the details, it's best..." Before Igornov could finish his words, Naoko Akagi and Fumihiko Ikari had already reacted and retrieved the detailed files from the Three Sages System. Seeing this, he closed his mouth and didn't continue.

After looking at the detailed progress of the virtual game, Fumihiko Ikari was surprised at the progress but also felt it was reasonable.

All aspects of the infrastructure have been almost ready. Now only the program and the game have not been completed. In terms of the game, the main plot has not been finalized, and the rest is lacking in how to realize it through the program. Ritsuko Akagi is leading the team to cooperate with the employees of the virtual game design department to come up with a plan and speed up the progress.

I took a quick look at the game settings and found that they are basically the same as I imagined.

He was not surprised by this. The second shock occurred on September 2000, 9. Although online games had just started at that time, the general framework had been determined.

He looked again at the procedural aspects.

There are many issues to be resolved in this regard...

The dreams generated by the dream program are too real. It's not that reality is bad, but many things have to be done online. For example, monsters only need an empty shell and a health bar, but no specific flesh and blood. This is not only to reduce the amount of work and reduce the degree of reality, but mainly to take into account the psychological endurance of ordinary people, and to allow people to distinguish between virtual and reality, so as to prevent confusion between virtual and reality and increase violent crimes.

In addition, there are logout system, attribute system, task system, etc.

Everyone is waiting for Ritsuko Akagi to finish her work.

That's right!

It's completion, not perfection.

For all the design plans in terms of the program, the virtual game department has already provided solutions and ideas. Ritsuko Akagi only needs to convert them into codes like a programmer.

Naoko Akagi looked at the background program for a while and then shook her head.

“She still needs to continue learning.”

Although Ikari Fumihiko didn't see what the problem was, he still nodded pretending to understand.

Naoko Akagi logged into her Emperor Penguin account on her computer.

Fumihiko Ikari leaned over to take a look and found that on Naoko Akagi's contact page, there were only two people, Ritsuko Akagi and him.

Naoko Akagi called out the chat box with Ritsuko Akagi.

【You can’t do this. 】

[Mother, what are you talking about? ]

Ritsuko Akagi was obviously confused by this incoherent sentence.

【It is the application operation aspect of the system. 】

【??? Mother, what problems do I have with system application operation?】

【The application idea is wrong. 】

When Fumihiko Ikari saw this, he realized what was wrong with Ritsuko Akagi's program, but he still didn't know how to improve it.

Ritsuko Akagi sent a message again.

[Mother, how can we improve this? ]

Naoko Akagi did not verbally give a specific solution, but replied with "I'll see how I do it in the background." and closed the dialog box.

She then took control remotely and quickly input a series of code instructions.

At first, Fumihiko Ikari didn't understand, but as time went by, he gradually realized that Ritsuko Akagi's problem was that she didn't have a thorough understanding of the Three Sages System, or that she underestimated the intelligence of the Three Sages System. To put it simply, Ritsuko Akagi wrote the program to complete the requirements of the Virtual Game Club, while Naoko Akagi determined the general direction and let the Three Sages System program the rest.

After working for less than an hour, Naoko Akagi stopped, opened the chat box again and typed a message.

【It should be like this. 】

Ritsuko Akagi did not reply immediately like she did the first time, obviously she was hit hard.

I led a team of 300 people to work day and night for nearly two weeks, and there was still a lot of work to be done, but my mother solved the problem fundamentally in just about an hour.

This is like the ancients digging canals manually and modern people digging canals using machines.

Fumihiko Ikari was also shocked when he saw the code on the screen that continued to be generated after Naoko Akagi stopped.

Without waiting for Ritsuko Akagi to reply to the message, Naoko Akagi replied with another sentence.

[I have already written the underlying logic. If you have any subsequent requirements or improvements, just enter the requirements and select them in the generated solution.]

Then she logged out of Emperor Penguin without waiting for Ritsuko Akagi to reply.

When Fumihiko Ikari saw this scene, he understood that given how much Akagi Ritsuko cared about her mother, she would definitely be introverted for a while because of this.

After thinking for a while, he took out his cell phone and said something to comfort her.

[Your mother is offline now, no need to reply. ]

After a while, Ritsuko Akagi sent a string of ellipsis.

【…】

Then he added another sentence.

[Am I really that useless? I haven’t even gotten started after studying for so long…]

Ritsuko Akagi's chatting style at this time was completely different from when she was chatting with Naoko Akagi just now, and was not as respectful.

When Ikari Fumihiko saw the message, he felt a little embarrassed.

[The Three Sages system is too complicated. ]

【…】

Akagi Ritsuko was silent for a long time before replying.

[I'll tell my mother that I won't make this mistake again.]

【Uh...Okay.】

18:42:51

533. Watch the Great Wall

Looking at the screen, Fumihiko Ikari really wanted to reply.

[She went to take a shower. I'll talk to her later. ]

But after thinking about it, he realized that if this got out, it would have a bad impact. No! If Akagi Ritsuko took it seriously and called him "Dad" in the crowd, he really didn't know how to respond.

"She said she wouldn't do it again next time."

Unlike Ritsuko Akagi who felt she had made a big mistake, Naoko Akagi didn't care about this matter from beginning to end.

"Oh."

He responded casually and then asked.

"Do you want to adjust the restraints?"

"Let's do it. Balance the rest of the area except for the head and the restraints that hold the humanoid in place."

Naoko Akagi nodded and began to remove the restraint device on the Type 02 prototype.

When most of the restraints were removed, new changes occurred. The milky white flesh began to wriggle strangely again.

"Something has happened."

Hear Naoko Akagi's hint.

Ikari Fumihiko withdrew his gaze from the game code and looked over.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Igornov asked nervously.

"What's happening here?"

Akagi Naoko explained.

“It’s healing itself.”
