I participated in the development of EVA

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's not dangerous to drive, the main issue we have to deal with now is the synchronization rate."

"Synchronization rate?"

Ritsuko Akagi was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Although she has not yet been exposed to research outside of the Three Sages System, she is not completely unfamiliar with things related to synchronization rate.

It wasn't that someone talked to her about this, but she wanted to know more about Fumihiko Ikari, so she read the papers written by Fumihiko Ikari related to EVA. Among them was the case of improving the synchronization rate by adjusting the mentality, which Fumihiko Ikari made up in order to take Rei Ayanami out for a walk.

She then applied her mother's abnormal behavior to this case.

"My mother invited me to go shopping during that time. Was she trying to adjust her mindset and improve her synchronization rate?"

"Correct."

When she thought about Fumihiko Ikari asking her to come over and look after her mother, Ritsuko Akagi immediately realized the result.

"The results are not satisfactory and the mother is now anxious?"

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment.

It's really like someone giving you a pillow just when you want to sleep.

Before he could figure out how to fool people, Ritsuko Akagi fooled herself.

"Oh yes, that's right! That's it."

After a pause, he added.

"She has been in a bad mental state recently. I have tried to persuade her to calm down every time. But she always refutes me by saying things like 'Humanity doesn't have much time left' and 'I don't have your courage. I dare not bet that the Apostles will appear in a few years'...

Ugh!

I can actually understand Professor Akagi's situation. She just has too much responsibility and carries too much on her shoulders."

Seeing that Ritsuko Akagi didn't say anything, he opened his mouth again and added a sentence.

"I'm really worried about her condition, and I can't stay by her side all the time, and I don't have the energy to keep watching her. I really have no choice... I had to call you over."

Looking at Ikari Fumihiko's haggard face, Akagi Ritsuko felt her heart tighten. She was worried about her mother's condition, and at the same time she felt distressed for Ikari Fumihiko's haggard look at this time.

605. Minister, I want to drive EVA

However, Ritsuko Akagi's personality is similar to her mother's. She is not the kind of person who has no opinions and is easily led by emotions.

She did not follow Ikari Fumihiko's arrangements directly, but stood there in silence for a moment before speaking.

"You can't do this."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, an idea subconsciously popped up in Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

Ritsuko Akagi would say: I can't take care of it alone, let's work in shifts, you work the day shift and I work the night shift.

however……

"You are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. If you want to truly solve the problem, you still have to start with the synchronization rate."

Synchronization rate?

You want to sacrifice Naoko Akagi?

While he was lost in thought, Ritsuko Akagi spoke again.

"Minister, I want to drive EVA."

strangeness.

Why does this sentence give me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?

Fumihiko Ikari subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind and realized that Naoko Akagi was no longer suitable to drive the Type 02 EVA.

otherwise……

While driving, Naoko Akagi sacrificed herself on impulse, and no one could stop her.

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

Fumihiko Ikari originally wanted to agree, but then he changed his mind and wondered whether Ritsuko Akagi would discover the defects of the Type 02 EVA like Naoko Akagi after she established a connection with the backup machine.

"There's no rush for this. Let me familiarize you with the project first."

"Ah."

Ritsuko Akagi followed Fumihiko Ikari back to the control room.

Ikari Fumihiko pointed to the filing cabinet and said, "All the experimental data are here. Take a look first. If you have any questions, ask me."

Ritsuko Akagi nodded, took out the experimental materials in order and began to read them carefully.

Fumihiko Ikari sat aside, somewhat bored, and left the game screen.

Looking at the game characters, I feel like I haven’t seen them for a long time. Well... indeed, I haven’t played games for a long time. I’ve been busy being squeezed every day recently.

After closing the script program, he opened his friend's communication and took a look. He immediately felt that he had missed out on 100 million.

During this period, there were studios every day asking him if he wanted to buy equipment or get the first kill in a new dungeon.

He sighed.

The first kill in the dungeon was lost, but what made him depressed was the missed equipment.

But after taking a look at the character level, the depression immediately dissipated...

The script levels up too fast!

Those equipments are no longer good enough for his character's current level.

I wanted to organize my resources and update my equipment, but I felt more and more sleepy. Before I knew it, I lay down on the computer desk and fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed in the dormitory.

He was in a trance for a moment before he came to his senses.

Shouldn't it?

Why am I so sleepy? Is it because I was overdrawn?

Uh……

It should be about the same.

He has indeed invested too much in the past month. If it weren't for lcl, he would have been almost dead.

When he stood up, he noticed that he had been stripped down to his underwear.

Who can take it off?

It shouldn't be Ritsuko Akagi! ?

The thought of this gave me a headache.

After putting on his clothes, he went to the control room, but only saw Ritsuko Akagi.

"How long have I slept?"

"Eight hours."

"Nao...Where's Professor Akagi?"

"Still resting."

Fumihiko Ikari frowned, worried about Naoko Akagi, but also realized that it was probably Ritsuko Akagi who helped him take off his clothes.

The reason why it was not Zhao Shuo and others was because Akagi Ritsuko's eyes were somewhat evasive when facing him.

"Didn't you go over and take a look?"

Akagi Ritsuko sighed sadly before speaking.

"I've checked. Mother has been lying in the rest cabin. Her vital signs are normal, but... she's a little lethargic."

Ikari Fumihiko also sighed.

Naoko Akagi doesn't know how to face Ritsuko Akagi. Of course, if it were just this, Naoko Akagi wouldn't be like this. Now, in addition to Ritsuko Akagi's matter, there is also the problem of completing the Type 02 EVA that needs to be solved. This is the key factor that makes Naoko Akagi so autistic. Uh... well, it's mainly because his incredible remarks yesterday also played a big role.

If it weren't for that outrageous speech, Naoko Akagi would only have to overcome the fear in her heart, but now there are more things she has to overcome.

While he was thinking about this, Ritsuko Akagi spoke again.

"Are you okay?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little too tired recently and haven't had enough rest."

"If the project team doesn't have anything important to do right now, you'd better take a good rest..."

Having said that, Ritsuko Akagi paused and added shyly.

"Well, the medical team checked you out after you passed out earlier, and asked me to warn you to rest."

"Well, I see."

Even if Ritsuko Akagi didn't say it, Fumihiko Ikari did plan to have a good rest, but before that he had one more thing to do.

"I'll go see Professor Akagi."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ritsuko Akagi grabbed his arm.

He turned his head in confusion.

"what happened?"

Akagi Ritsuko said with a blush.

"It's a little inconvenient for you to go there now."

Fumihiko Ikari was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Ritsuko Akagi wanted to say was: Naoko Akagi is not wearing any clothes.

"Then go and help me take a look."

After saying this, he felt that it was inappropriate and corrected it.

"Take the information and go to Professor Akagi's dormitory to take a look."

Seeing that Ritsuko Akagi was a little confused, he reacted and said that Ritsuko Akagi knew too little and had not yet realized how big the problem was... He wanted to emphasize it, but when the words came to his lips he realized that he was a little too concerned. Given the current situation, if Naoko Akagi wanted to die, she would definitely choose to sacrifice herself to the Type 02 EVA, and would not commit suicide directly.

Therefore, there is no need to have someone stay by your side and provide 24-hour care.

"I'm worried that Professor Akagi might do something stupid."

Ritsuko Akagi shook her head and replied with a firm look.

"Mother, you are not that fragile."

Ikari Fumihiko had figured it out, so he nodded.

"Well, I was making a big fuss."

After a pause, he added.

"Don't let her drive the EVA while I'm on break."

Only when he saw Ritsuko Akagi's embarrassed expression did he realize that Ritsuko Akagi did not dare to disobey Naoko Akagi.

He looked at Zhao Shuo.

"Don't let Professor Akagi pilot the EVA until I wake up."

"Yes."

After Zhao Shuo received the order.

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it for a while, and after feeling that there was nothing missing, he turned around and went back to his dormitory.

Lying in the rest cabin, I set the rest time to two days.

"Resting for two days at a time... this should allow my body to recover almost completely, right? I probably can't do this again next time."

As this thought flashed through his mind, he fell asleep under the effect of the drug.
