I participated in the development of EVA

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Fumihiko Ikari.

"Don't limit yourself to the biological field. I think when He grows to a certain size, He will change His life form."

When he said this, the apostles equipped with S2 mechanisms in the original work emerged in his mind.

He thought that after the Type 02 prototype grew to a certain extent, although it would not directly grow the S2 mechanism, it could ignore the driver's mental variables and directly deploy a high-intensity AT force field like the apostles in the original book. The logic was simply a simple mathematical multiplication. The driver's mental variables were the base number in the multiplication, and the Type 02 prototype's body strength was the multiple in the multiplication.

"You mean He will become an energy body?"

"Maybe."

He did not express his thoughts, after all, it included the S2 mechanism.

After a pause, he added.

"Let's finish the force field strength test first."

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything else. Just when Fumihiko Ikari activated the deployment program, Naoko Akagi deployed the AT force field by herself.

Fumihiko Ikari looked surprised, because Rei Ayanami had to reach a synchronization rate of 70% before she could deploy the AT force field.

"??? You can deploy the force field yourself?"

"Well, just now when I heard you say to deploy the force field, a special feeling came into my heart. I can't really describe what it was, but if I felt it carefully, the force field would be deployed."

He didn't say anything more, and used the Three Sages System to simulate and calculate the strength of the AT force field deployed by Naoko Akagi.

When he saw the final calculation result, he was shocked again.

? ? ? ?

Seeing Ikari Fumihiko in a daze, Akagi Naoko couldn't help but ask a question.

"What's going on? Very weak?"

"No... According to the calculation of the same synchronization rate, the strength of the force field you deployed exceeds that of Li."

Fumihiko Ikari couldn't understand why Naoko Akagi's heart wall was so strong.

“By how much?”

“About 56.32%.”

Naoko Akagi was also a little confused, but then she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

"What did you think of? The synchronization rate is improving..."

Naoko Akagi denied it very flatly.

"nothing."

There is a secret.

A secret that no one wants to know.

The reason why the pilots in the original work are more autistic than each other is to make them feel strongly rejected. Ikari Fumihiko didn't say much, because he has seen that although Akagi Naoko's current state is not autistic, it is roughly the same. Deep in her heart is a secret that she doesn't want to be touched.

He originally thought that he knew Naoko Akagi well enough, but at this moment he could not imagine what was hidden deep in Naoko Akagi's heart that could give rise to such a strong feeling of rejection.

Although he was puzzled, he did not ask further questions as he also had a secret in his heart.

Just a witty joke.

"You have such a high degree of compatibility with the Type 02 prototype. How about considering changing your job to an EVA pilot starting today?"

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"I have no talent for fighting."

He continued to persuade in a teasing manner.

"What kind of fighting talent does this require? If you can beat them, fight. If you can't, run away."

Akagi Naoko looked embarrassed and didn't say anything else.

Fumihiko Ikari saw Naoko Akagi's resistance and once again tactfully skipped the topic.

“…Do you want to continue?”

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything. She sat in the control seat with her head down and thought, looking very conflicted.

Ikari Fumihiko did not urge him and just waited quietly.

After a long time, Akagi Naoko raised her head and asked.

"If you continue, what are you going to do next?"

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking.

"Help me improve the synchronization rate."

Naoko Akagi frowned and thought for a moment before she understood Fumihiko Ikari's thoughts.

"Are you planning to observe the spirit particles by increasing the synchronization rate?"

"Yes, the higher the synchronization rate, the stronger the control over the AT force field."

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment, and then explained his thoughts in detail to avoid misunderstanding.

"According to previous deductions, the dream program is theoretically an AT force field deployed by the biological brain in the lepton field. This is why the Three Sages System cannot run multiple dreams on multiple lines. Well, to put it simply... What I mean is that when the Type 02 prototype is used as the host, the dream is equivalent to the force field deployed by the driver.

In other words, as long as the control over one's own force field is strong enough, one can observe everything in the dream.

Even observations of the lepton realm are possible."

Although he had been thinking for a short time, he did not come up with these ideas in a flash of inspiration. Instead, he had enough relevant knowledge stored in his mind to be able to come up with these ideas in a short period of time.

Naoko Akagi was in a dilemma again. After a moment, she closed her eyes, as if she was realizing something.

The expression on his face became one of struggle and pain.

Fumihiko Ikari understood that Naoko Akagi had realized the key to improving the synchronization rate and was trying to improve it in her own way.

18:44:27

540.It

It was a long time before Naoko Akagi opened her eyes.

"……How about it?"

"The synchronization rate is now 76.79%."

“Increased by 13%?”

"No, your previous attempt only improved it by 0.01%, or even less... After all, it is impossible to count after two decimal places."

Naoko Akagi was stunned at first, but then she understood.

Previously, when she realized why her AT force field was stronger than Rei Ayanami's, Fumihiko Ikari reminded her once that her synchronization rate was improving.

She found it a little hard to accept that she had taken the initiative to try to improve the synchronization rate, but only got a slight improvement of 0.01%.

"That much?"

“Your approach may not be right.”

Naoko Akagi was confused and asked subconsciously.

"What to do?"

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before asking back.

"What did you do just now?"

Akagi Naoko hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Try to tell a secret."

To be honest, Ikari Fumihiko was a little embarrassed at this moment. No, he didn't know how to start. If he wanted to help Akagi Naoko, he had to find out what the secret was, so that he could make targeted arrangements. However, if the secret was so easy to find out, he wouldn't have such a strong rejection mentality.

He pondered for a long time before speaking in an uncertain tone.

"Don't tell this secret to the person you least want to be known by. Imagine the worst possible outcome if that person knows it."

Upon hearing this, Naoko Akagi nodded with mixed feelings, closed her eyes again, and people and things emerged in her mind, trying to imagine the worst possible outcome according to what Fumihiko Ikari said.

but……

It cannot be said that there is no effect at all, it can only be said that it cannot be observed after two decimal places.

When she didn't hear the notification from Fumihiko Ikari that the synchronization rate had increased, Naoko Akagi knew that this attempt had failed.

"Still no effect?"

Ikari Fumihiko nodded in response.

"Yes, the direction may be wrong... Or maybe just relying on association is not enough, and we need more direct stimulation from the outside world."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the synchronization rate increase again.

"The synchronization rate just increased by 0.12% again."

He was a little confused.

What did I say? Why did the synchronization rate increase again?

wrong--

The key issue is not what I said, but why what I said would irritate Naoko Akagi.

He thought about it and repeated it again tentatively.

“…needs more direct stimulation from the outside world.”

However, this time the synchronization rate did not change, and even fell back by 0.02%.

Does this mean that Naoko Akagi has adjusted her mindset?

He glanced at the heart rate graph and found that his previously rapid heart rate was returning to normal.

At this time, Naoko Akagi suddenly spoke.

"I feel it."

"What did you sense?"

"Our previous guess about the dream was correct."

Naoko Akagi paused for a moment, then continued, "Although it's very vague, there is indeed a strange energy in the dream, which is spreading from the light points... No! It feels more like flames, similar to radiation. This should be the so-called power of the mind... Just as I guessed before, I can only mobilize part of the energy in my current state."

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak, she spoke again.

"My current state should be similar to the theory you just proposed."

"Dreams are a kind of force field unfolding in the realm of spirit particles?"

"It should be about the same. There seems to be a strange connection between me and the dream, which allows me to know what I just felt."

Fumihiko Ikari is a well-informed person... well, okay! He got a lot of fantasy knowledge from online novels.

Therefore, her perspective on this issue is different from that of Naoko Akagi.

"Who is that?"

Naoko Akagi then convulsed, and then her eyes were filled with confusion.

Ikari Fumihiko spoke again.

"Is it an artificial soul? Or is it the Three Sages System?"

In fact, there was another alternative, but he didn't say it.

The alternative is naturally the second apostle Lilith.

What Naoko Akagi was connecting to was not a dream, but the consciousness of the second angel Lilith.

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"I don't know. This feeling is very strange, as if someone told me everything, and as if I knew everything."

"Then why did you just say it made you aware?"

Akagi Naoko was at a loss, and spoke again with uncertainty.

"Maybe it's a subconscious description?"
