I participated in the development of EVA

The project team was just formed...how come it died? ?

I was expecting you to take me to show off and fly...how come you died?

asshole--

What should I do if you die?

Although his inner world was in tatters, he didn't show any of it.

It's not that he has high concentration, but that he has lost control of his facial expressions due to time travel.

But it's hard for outsiders to see.

Ikari Gendo was originally worried that Ishida Ame's death would affect the progress of the project, but now seeing Ikari Fumihiko so calm, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Bioengineering is originally an emerging discipline, and there are not many top scholars in the field. Now after experiencing the doomsday catastrophe of the second impact in which half of the population died, there are only three top scholars in this field left in the world. Excluding Ishida Yu who just died, there are only two left.

Two of them, one is in China and the other in the United States. Both are top talents in their respective fields, so it is naturally impossible for them to leave their own countries.

As for Ikari Fumihiko and Ikari Yui?

Just as there are gaps between people, there are also huge gaps between PhDs.

The former has just completed his studies, while the latter is not as well educated as the former.

The reason why she was able to sit in the position of minister was that she had been involved in Seele's research on apostles since college and knew a lot of confidential information. Therefore, after her father died in the Second Impact, Seele arranged her to this position.

004. Sure enough, the plot of the movie is deceptive!

"Dead? How did he die——"

"sudden death."

? ?

For a moment, Fumihiko Ikari didn't know what to say.

I asked with a headache.

“He’s dead, what happens to the project now?”

"You will take the lead for now."

Ugh--

it is as expected!

It’s really troublesome. I might as well travel through time and space and become an ordinary person.

Is this what is called "unworthy of the position"? Perhaps "unworthy of the position" is more appropriate?

If he had real talent and became the leader of this project, he would definitely be happy, because this would bring him more power, and he could even use it as a fulcrum to leverage the subsequent plot and take his destiny into his own hands. But the problem is that he is just a fake, and he can get by by relying on the memories hidden in his mind to fool people.

"it is good."

There is no way to refuse, you can only accept it.

If you don't say it, what else can you do...

"Now that everything is clear, you can go."

Ikari Gendo was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you going to see Professor Ishida's body?"

Going to see the corpse in the middle of the night, are you afraid that I will have no material for nightmares?

I think so, but of course I can't say it that way, after all, the person in front of me is the big villain in the subsequent plot.

"What's so good about an ordinary old male corpse? It doesn't have any special research value."

"really."

Ikari Gendō accepted this statement.

"Next time something like this happens, just let me know when I wake up."

It's tiring enough to live in fear every moment during the day to avoid being exposed, and now you can't sleep well at night. If you are exposed for too long, you will either die suddenly or go crazy.

This personality... is really as cold as the legend says.

"it is good."

Ikari Gendō commented in his heart, then turned and walked out.

I glanced at the digital clock hanging on the wall.

One o'clock.

Great, I still have seven or eight hours to sleep.

I tossed and turned in bed, and I don't know how long it took before I finally fell asleep.

If personal assistant Akagi Eri hadn't rang the doorbell the next day, Ikari Fumihiko would have been late for his first day as project leader.

He asked while eating the breakfast brought by Akagi Eri.

"Has the application for the gaming console been approved?"

“It’s still under review.”

“So inefficient?”

Although Akagi Eri wanted to say that it wasn't the slow review process, but the Human Resources Department was worried that you would lose interest in research and that's why the application was blocked, her identity prevented her from saying that. "It's probably because game consoles are too special. The Resources Department doesn't have them in stock, so we can only get them from the outside world. But now the outside world is at war, which makes the search for supplies more difficult."

"All right--"

"Any other questions, Dr. Fumihiko?"

"Gone."

"Then I will leave without disturbing you while you eat."

"Ah."

Akagi Eri walked out of Ikari Fumihiko's dormitory with the clothes that needed to be cleaned.

After breakfast, Fumihiko Ikari got up and went to Laboratory No. 1. There was still half an hour before the scheduled working time, and all team members except Ishida Ame had already started working.

You guys are too crazy...

Forget it, I am the leader anyway, no matter how much you guys push around, it can’t affect me.

"Everyone, stop being busy. Come to my office and I have something to announce."

After hearing the broadcast, everyone came to the office.

"Professor Ishida died suddenly at 1 a.m. last night. I am now in charge of the project team."

The inquiring crowd was only in commotion for a moment before returning to silence.

isn't it?

Is your popularity so bad? No one is sad for you?

Oh, by the way... this team was put together at short notice, and none of them have any relationship with Ishida Yu.

What's more, these people are all eyewitnesses of the Second Impact, they survived the doomsday catastrophe that caused the world's population to decrease by half, and they were able to withstand the blow and return to work without going crazy or stupid like they are now. Their hearts have long been numb, let alone such a trivial matter as the sudden death of a nominal leader, they can even withstand the destruction of the world.

"If everyone has no questions, please return to your posts."

After everyone left, Ikari Fumihiko sighed with a headache.

Now is the preparation stage for the experiment. As long as you can understand the design drawings, you can get by. Once the equipment is assembled and the experiment officially begins, your real skills will be tested.

Why do I feel like...playing games is getting further and further away from me——

Ugh!

It's a life of hard work.

No amount of complaining can solve the problem. All we can do now is to awaken as much knowledge as possible from the original owner's latent brain.

Open various relevant technical documents in the database through the computer and read them.

As I read through the materials, I gradually discovered a problem. The original owner had a professional background in this project, but many of the knowledge points involved were beyond the original owner's knowledge scope.

After so many days, there is finally some good news...

Open?

No...

If you don't work harder now, you will continue to live in fear like this in the future.

Fortunately, the original owner's brain was very useful. Even if he encountered a knowledge point that he did not understand deeply, he could still learn it simply. If he had a headache learning a linear equation like in his previous life, he would definitely give up. Compared to being tortured by life, he was unwilling to be tortured by studying. After all, learning is something that you cannot learn no matter how hard you try.

Before I knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. I took a look at the office workers who were still working hard in the laboratory and had not left yet, and a sense of superiority surged in my heart.

This is the sense of superiority brought by class...

Seems pretty good.

"Okay, off work."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the office, heading out of the laboratory. Everyone stopped their work and went back to the dormitory.

Akagi Eri, who was standing at the dormitory door waiting, saw Ikari Fumihiko coming back and immediately walked towards him.

"Dr. Wen Yan, thank you for your hard work—"

"Is there a problem?"

"Your previous expression has been approved. We have sent people to search the outside world this afternoon. Do you have any specific needs for game consoles and cartridges?"

"Isn't there a war going on outside?"

Of course, Akagi Eri would not say it directly, this is the change brought about by your level increase.

"I don't know either. Should I ask the relevant departments for advice?"

I just thought about the conversation in the morning, so I asked this casually. I didn't care whether there was an answer or not. "That's not necessary. Since the application has been approved, let the staff out to help me collect a few more game consoles. Um... As for the cartridges, try to collect as many of the most popular games on the market as possible. I don't have any specific requirements."

"Ok."

After recording the requirements, he began to speak.

"The cafeteria has prepared a midnight snack for you."

"No, I'm a little tired."

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest then."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded as a response to Akagi Eri, then opened the door and walked into the dormitory.

This life assistant is really ignorant. Didn't he hear the boss say he was tired? He didn't even take the initiative to help him relax.

The plot of the short film is really deceptive!

Life assistants are not that capable.

005. Power outage is still useful——

The next week was basically spent catching up on knowledge.

The assembly of the equipment went smoothly in the first three days without encountering any problems. However, this was a team put together at short notice after all. From the fourth day on, some problems began to arise that needed to be solved by him personally. Even though he had made up a lot of knowledge in the past few days, there were still some problems that could not be solved. He also didn't know whether these problems were beyond the knowledge scope of the original owner, so he could only bite the bullet and give opinions based on his feelings.

I thought I could correct these mistakes by studying for a few more days, but...

This type of error accumulates.

Taking a look at the assembled equipment next to him, Fumihiko Ikari was really afraid that this thing would explode once it was started.

Or, to be on the safe side, why not... go ask Ikari Yui for advice?

Uh!

Wouldn't this expose my ignorance?

never mind!
