I participated in the development of EVA

"What happened?"

Ikari Fumihiko came to his senses and didn't know how to explain it, so he played the experimental video.

But I was surprised to find that...

Everything that happened just now seemed like an illusion.

There was no vibration, no light...but a series of red failure prompts displayed on the big screen proved that everything that happened just now was not an illusion.

The previous tremor and strobe are a psychological sense! ?

While thinking about these things, I secretly felt lucky that I was cautious and made careful arrangements.

If the power supply is not cut off in the situation just now, there is a high probability that the Gate of Gaf will be opened and he will turn into a god. No... that gate may not be the Gate of Gaf, but the Gate of Dreams. If the Gate of Dreams is really opened, the dream will be connected to the reality. Could it be that... the Third Impact will become a game coming to reality! ?

Thinking of this, his expression turned strange.

If the game were to come into reality, it would most likely not be game monsters invading reality, but rather the fourth disaster mode that would summon players.

After all, the Three Sages System can control dream programs.

Then he shook his head to deny this speculation. Such an outrageous thing should not happen.

In this way, the earth's civilization will become a god in one step.

Not only can it create things out of thin air, it can even leap from a technological civilization to a cultivation civilization.

Moreover, it is a cultivation civilization that has activated the cheat code.

He felt that after the door to dreams was opened, it would be more likely that the Type 02 prototype would be able to absorb power from dreams more easily and exert power that exceeded the limits of the apostle's life form.

In other words, he reached the so-called demigod form! ?

If this is the case, according to previous speculation about the dream program, the dream is the AT force field that the dream program unfolds behind the Gate of Gaff. The next stage is to find a way to unfold this AT force field in reverse... that is, to open the dream program in reverse to absorb power from behind the Gate of Gaff to complete the transformation and take the last step towards becoming a god.

A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Fumihiko Ikari took a deep breath.

His eyes returned to the Type 02 prototype on the other side of the window.

At this time, Naoko Akagi couldn't hold back her curiosity again and spoke.

"What happened just now? Is there any progress in the experiment?"

Fumihiko Ikari did not say anything, but called up the evolution program to see what was going on. However, he found that the codes in the evolution program had turned into strange symbols like ghost drawings.

Seeing these scribbles-like symbols, Naoko Akagi reacted.

"He was transforming just now?"

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

Naoko Akagi couldn't wait to ask again.

"This kind of transformation is beyond the scope of instrument monitoring and can only be captured by the naked eye?"

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to say anything, Zhao Shuo spoke first.

"Impossible, I was there the whole time."

He had been staying next to Ikari Fumihiko just now, so if there were any changes, it would be impossible to hide it from him.

Ikari Fumihiko ignored Zhao Shuo.

"I felt a growing tremor and a peculiar strobe light."

Although there was no video or data to support it, and even Zhao Shuo denied the possibility, Naoko Akagi still chose to believe Fumihiko Ikari.

Zhao Shuo still couldn't believe it.

“But I didn’t observe anything.”

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, so Akagi Naoko opened her mouth to explain.

"That could be a change in the spirit particles. Minister Ikari himself possesses an extraordinary AT force field, so he can sense this change."

Zhao Shuo understood. What Akagi Naoko meant was that only people with a strong at force field could capture that change.

Although this explanation was reasonable, he still doubted whether the two were working in unison to defraud them.

Naoko Akagi ignored Zhao Shuo and started questioning Fumihiko Ikari.

"What do you think that change will bring?"

Fumihiko Ikari's eyes fell on the bizarre symbol in the evolution program.

"He should want to establish a deeper connection with the dream world. Well, he wants to open the door to the dream world."

"Open the door to dreams?"

"Correct."

This answer was too abstract, and Naoko Akagi became even more confused.

“What happens after you open it?”

"I don't know. It could be that it makes it easier for the Type 02 Prototype to gain power from dreams. It could also be that... it brings the Type 02 Prototype into dreams, or it could bring things in dreams into reality. Or it could be that something else happens... In short, anything is possible."

It took Naoko Akagi some time to digest what Fumihiko Ikari said, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"If that's true... we might actually be able to create a genuine god."

After a pause, she spoke again.

"So...should we continue?"

As she said this, her eyes fell on the red error message on the screen that almost took up the entire screen. If the Type 02 prototype had not been equipped with a built-in power supply, their previous experiment would most likely have gone completely out of control. No one could predict what would happen then... Even if it triggered the Third Impact, it was not impossible.

The power accumulated by 150 million people for nearly half a year, even if the impact caused cannot destroy humanity, it can wipe out most of humanity again.

Of course this is the worst prediction, the best is naturally...

The Type 02 prototype transformed into an artificial god as planned and became the patron saint of mankind.

To fulfill what she and Fumihiko Ikari had once imagined, humans would become an interstellar civilization with the help of artificial gods.

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak, Zhao Shuo on the side spoke again.

"You two, can you let me report the situation here first before making a decision?"

Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused and didn't know whether he should continue, so he nodded and agreed.

"it is good."

Zhao Shuo went to report the situation, while Ikari Fumihiko asked Akagi Naoko a question.

"Didn't you feel anything when you were flying the Type 02 prototype just now?"

"No, I just feel that the Type 02 prototype is getting stronger. There is no other special feeling."

Fumihiko Ikari nodded and his eyes fell on the computer where his game character was AFK.

The power outage just now did not shut down the game server, but only disconnected the connection between the biological brain and the apostle core, as well as Naoko Akagi's virtual cabin.

Therefore, the monster siege in the game continues, and players begin to push back the defense line with the help of the buff.

The only thing that comforted him now was...

Although he did not participate in this event, at least he did not miss out on the reward.

18:49:38

560. Doctor Truth has not yet reached full power in all aspects. There is still a lot of room for improvement. It should be full.

Fumihiko Ikari sat down in front of the computer, looked at the results of the event, and smiled with satisfaction.

After looking at Naoko Akagi who was frowning in thought, he felt too embarrassed to sit down and play the game, so he could only hand over the game character to the Three Sages System for continued hosting.

This is definitely not his worry, that his poor skills will lead to lower reward benefits.

Zhao Shuo is back.

"The higher-ups hope you will continue while ensuring the safety of the experiment."

Naoko Akagi was not surprised by this.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

This shouldn’t be the case—

According to the fear of the people in this world about the second impact, after learning about the situation here, the top leaders of NERV should be afraid that the Type 02 prototype will go out of control and cause a third impact, right! ?

Could it be that Nerv is still controlled by Seele like in the original novel?

He rejected the idea as soon as it came into his mind.

No matter how powerful Seele is, it is still an organization after all. Without the assistance of the Three Wise Men System, it will never be able to control Nerv.

Uh……

Could it be that I had exaggerated the apostles too much before, always saying that humans had no choice, which led the NERV executives to believe that only true artificial gods could fight against the apostles?

wrong!

The fear of a second impact drives these people to pursue greater power.

It's like the fear of insufficient firepower before the time travel.

Thinking of this, Fumihiko Ikari felt a headache.

“It’s really going to be a difficult problem.”

Naoko Akagi did not respond, but just stood there thinking in silence.

Zhao Shuo also didn't say anything.

Ikari Fumihiko also lowered his head and began to think about how to conduct the experiment safely.

After thinking for a whole day and coming up with no ideas, he went to the gaming computer.

At this time, the game enters the next section. The player has recaptured the Great Wall defense line and has begun to counterattack the volcanoes and snow-capped mountains.

Just as they were about to break through the two desperate places, two versions of the boss appeared and led the ferocious beasts to counterattack again. Even with the buff enhancement, the current players were unable to defeat these two versions of the boss. The Great Wall defense line was lost again, and the players who died again were surprised to find after they were resurrected... the resurrection point was refreshed.

Appeared in an area that was not previously open in the game, the second line of defense.

At the same time, they also learned from the NPC that their first line of defense soldiers completed their mission, delaying sufficient time for the establishment of the second line of defense and the evacuation of civilians.

Next…

They need to grow up before the ferocious beasts reach the second line of defense and fight for the future of mankind again.

Faced with this situation, some players are worried, because this indicates that the internal test is about to end, and they have to wait an unknown amount of time before the public beta begins.

Most players are more pure and just want to return to the battlefield and continue killing to their heart's content.

With three hours left before the end of the closed beta, all players were teleported to the second line of defense. In the remaining three hours, Ikari Fumihiko turned off the idle script and, like most other players, explored the new area that would be officially opened during the public beta, until he was kicked offline at the last second and then closed the game.

Looking at the closed game window, he felt melancholy for a moment and suddenly thought of something.

"Will the internal test delete the files or not?"

It is obvious that Naoko Akagi also did not pay attention to this aspect.

"I don't know."

Zhao Shuo replied.

"Except for the level which will be reset to zero, the rest of the data will be retained."

"That is not bad."

Ikari Fumihiko breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, with his power, he can completely interfere with this decision, but he positions himself as a player, not a planner.

Naturally, we will not interfere with decision-making in this regard.

But he still had an idea and secretly opened the web version of the trading platform, ready to buy some low-level equipment to use during the public beta. However... the platform's trading data had been locked and could not be operated. He could only withdraw the cash from the trading platform. This speculative idea was stillborn.

Naoko Akagi seemed to react only then.

"The game beta has ended?"

"Correct."

"Then let's verify our previous guess."
