I participated in the development of EVA

Fumihiko Ikari found it hard to accept. He had just sat down and lost himself in the voices of "big boss", and two and a half hours had already passed.

This is definitely someone targeting me... Yes! Someone must have set the clock forward.

As for?

I work twenty-one hours a day, and now I just want to play some games, why are you targeting me like this! ?

Of course, he just complained a little in his heart, and then seized the time to cherish every minute and every second.

Naoko Akagi had nothing to do for a while, so she sat aside and watched Fumihiko Ikari play games, as if she wanted to analyze what was so fun about this game and why Fumihiko Ikari was so addicted to it.

After looking for a while, she felt it was boring and looked away.

"Has the Game Department informed us about the animal experiment that will be conducted later?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head.

"Minister Ikari did not issue any order to that effect."

Seeing that Ikari Fumihiko didn't respond, Naoko Akagi had no choice but to ask again.

"I'm asking you something."

"what happened?"

"Have you informed the gaming department about the internet outage?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't listen carefully at all, so he just replied casually.

"No need to notify."

Naoko Akagi heard the perfunctory tone in Ikari Fumihiko's words, so she gave an instruction to Zhao Shuo.

"Notify the gaming department. We will be disconnecting the internet once more. We will let them know the exact time so they can make the necessary preparations."

"Yes."

Naoko Akagi's eyes fell on the Type 02 prototype, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Time passed quickly, and five hours had passed before Fumihiko Ikari could react.

Zhao Shuo reminded.

"Animal experiments are ready and can begin at any time."

Naoko Akagi glanced at Fumihiko Ikari.

"Let the animals connect to the virtual game dream first. We will complete all the preliminary preparations and then notify Minister Ikari."

"Yes."

It took the two of them nearly an hour to complete the preliminary preparations.

After finishing all this, Naoko Akagi said something to Zhao Shuo.

"Go notify the gaming department and announce that the server will be debugged in ten minutes."

"Yes."

Ikari Fumihiko also received the notice and complained subconsciously.

"What a rubbish server! Why do they keep maintaining it? Is this okay? If not, then... uh..."

It was only later that he reacted.

I am the real culprit that caused the game to be disconnected from the Internet.

Seeing that all players except his own account were kicked offline, he activated the game script reluctantly and said something to the employee who had been standing behind him.

"Keep an eye on it for me."

"Yes."

Only then did he reluctantly stand up from his seat, walked to the experimental platform, and took a look at the virtual game server. In addition to his game account, there were also a hundred experimental monkeys.

There was no reaction at first, but then I reacted.

Naoko Akagi had completed all the preliminary preparations before disconnecting her internet connection, and she immediately sighed in her heart.

You understand people’s hearts.

He put away all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"Test access permissions first."

"Ah."

Naoko Akagi responded, and immediately connected the Type 02 prototype to the virtual game dream.

Neither the Type 02 prototype nor the experimental monkeys showed any abnormalities.

It was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised by this.

"Supplement LCL into the culture device."

Naoko Akagi opened the valve, and a large amount of LCL liquid gushed into the culture device, pouring onto the Type 02 prototype.

It was not until then that the Type 02 prototype responded, rapidly absorbing nutrients from the LCL.

The strength of the body is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, Fumihiko Ikari spoke again.

"Close the valve."

Naoko Akagi did as she was told without asking any questions.

After waiting for the LCL to be completely absorbed by the Type 02 prototype, Fumihiko Ikari's eyes fell on the camera inside the monkey's virtual cabin.

however……

The situation he was waiting for did not occur.

The experimental monkeys were not remotely devoured by the Type 02 prototype.

After a moment of surprise, he reacted.

What the Type 02 prototype lacks now is nutrition, not soul.

To be precise, he felt that it was not that the Type 02 prototype was unable to devour players along the lepton network, but that the act of devouring players was meaningless to the Type 02 prototype.

Originally, he was considering whether the problem could be solved through biological control if the Type 02 prototype swallowed the experimental monkeys.

Now... I had estimated it wrong, this problem does not exist. At the same time, I was also too optimistic. As long as the Type 02 prototype cannot evolve into the S2 mechanism, it will be controllable. If it evolves into the S2 mechanism and gets rid of its dependence on LCL, this power will be beyond the control of humans.

This seems to be a good thing, but there is another hidden danger.

The Type 02 prototype may possess the S2 mechanism by hunting down Angels, just like Unit- in the original work.

wrong!

I was worrying too much and thinking about the problem too complicatedly... The Type 02 prototype is different from Unit . The former's consciousness is not suppressed, but completely removed, leaving only biological instincts. In other words, as long as the pilot's consciousness can suppress his biological instincts, Unit will not run away.

It seems that the necessity of spherical packaging... needs to be raised to a higher level.

This is not only a protection for the Type 02 prototype, but also a restriction on the Type 02 prototype from devouring the S2 mechanism.

Thinking of this he sighed.

This is indeed overthinking.

With the technology currently mastered by mankind, it is impossible to produce a force that can stop the Type 02 prototype after it is formed.

just now……

All that can be hoped for is that the pilot's consciousness can suppress the biological instincts of the Type 02 prototype.

544. What about trust between people?

Thinking of the driver...

Fumihiko Ikari's eyes fell on Naoko Akagi.

According to the existing data, Naoko Akagi is the most suitable pilot for the Type 02 prototype.

Feeling Ikari Fumihiko's gaze, Akagi Naoko thought that the other party was asking for her opinion.

She thought about it and opened her mouth.

"Do you want to test the limits of this form?"

Ikari Fumihiko asked back.

"Check the progress of the high-frequency vibration dagger?"

Naoko Akagi was obviously aware of Fumihiko Ikari's concerns and her expression became serious.

"It's stuck on the driving energy source. It needs an external circuit to use it now."

Ikari Fumihiko lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that it should not be a big problem if he did not start the experiment under the current circumstances, so he nodded.

"Then test the limits of your access rights."

"it is good."

Naoko Akagi opened the floodgates again and began to supply LCL in unlimited quantities.

The Type 02 prototype was madly devouring the LCL around its body like a bottomless pit, but this state did not last forever. It stopped when the strength of the machine reached 1.15 times that of Unit 02. Apparently, this was the growth limit that the Type prototype could reach under the access permission.

This number is much lower than Fumihiko Ikari expected.

He originally thought that the Type 02 prototype would increase exponentially this time, but he didn't expect it to increase only this little.

"Transfer the virtual game dream program to the Type 02 prototype."

Naoko Akagi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say what she was thinking. She felt that she should observe for a while before taking the next step.

The dream program transfer was completed silently.

At this moment, the Type 02 prototype obviously stalled for a moment, and then it began to devour the culture device in an even more crazy manner, like a whale, draining out all the nutrients inside the culture device, and various body indicators also increased rapidly.

"Just open one gate to replenish LCL."

The culture device has nearly two large water injection gates.

Naoko Akagi opened one.

LCL poured into the culture device like a rushing stream. However, even so, as much LCL was injected as it was consumed by the Type 02 prototype.

This went on for ten hours.

However, when the strength of the machine reached 1.5 times that of Unit-02, although the Type prototype continued to devour LCL, its physical indicators no longer changed.

It's not that the changes are not obvious, it's that there are no changes at all.

"Where did the swallowed lcl go?"

In response to Naoko Akagi's question, Fumihiko Ikari frowned and did not answer, but gave the order to close the gate.

As the gate closed and the LCL liquid was completely swallowed up, the Type 02 prototype returned to calm again.

He looked at the Type 02 prototype.

Where did the absorbed LCL go? Was it used to cultivate the S2 mechanism to complete itself?

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other answer.

Lilith does not have the S2 mechanism, but that does not mean she cannot give birth to the S2 mechanism. At the same time, he is increasingly suspicious that this artificial god plan is... Based on this variable, Seele makes a revised human completion plan. As long as he continues his research in the direction of artificial gods, he will be able to complete the two major conditions of the completion ritual.

Obtain the s2 mechanism and devour life to recover power.

Naoko Akagi looked at Ikari Fumihiko who was thinking with his head down, and she also lowered her head and began to think.

The rest of the people stood in the laboratory as silent as wood.

Fumihiko Ikari's eyes fell on the Type 02 prototype, and he was thinking whether to slice it into pieces to study whether it was really the S2 mechanism.

But at this moment, a thought came to my mind.

The current conditions would not allow the Type 02 prototype to produce the S2 mechanism in a short period of time.

The reason why he had this idea was because he remembered that the apostles who attacked humans in the original book took billions of years to complete the evolution and breed the S2 mechanism. Even if artificial breeding can speed up the breeding time of the S2 mechanism, it is not something that can be accomplished by gathering the spiritual power of millions of humans, and the LCL secreted by Lilith may not be enough.
