I participated in the development of EVA

"Success!"

As the connection rate decreased, no difference could be seen on Prisoner No. 1 at first. However, when the connection rate dropped to a certain level, Prisoner No. 1's body became illusory.

Like flickering lights.

When the connection falls below a certain limit, there is no transformation process or struggle, and the body simply collapses into LCL, just like a balloon filled with water being punctured.

"He's in a weird state."

Ikari Fumihiko also noticed it.

Prisoner No. 02 has been swallowed by the test machine, but his connection with the dream level is still maintained.

“It’s like Schrödinger’s cat, in a superposition state.”

Naoko Akagi nodded first, then shook her head.

"I think it's more like an elevator suspended by a cable. If we continue to lower the person, the rope will break and he will be completely swallowed by the core. We can pull him up by pulling him up..." At this point, she added uncertainly, "In theory, we can salvage the person by increasing the connection rate now."

Fumihiko Ikari knew what Naoko Akagi was not sure about.

"The rope may not be strong enough, right? Well, now Prisoner No. 1 is like being stuck in a swamp. As long as the rope is strong enough, we can pull him up smoothly. If it is not strong enough, he will fall into the quagmire completely."

"Correct."

Akagi Naoko responded and then asked again.

"Do you want to continue lowering it?"

"Let's try to pull the person up first! Then we can collect the limit value."

Naoko Akagi immediately entered the command code into the system.

however……

The connection rate increased by several percentage points, and something unexpected happened when the blurry figure of prisoner No. 1 appeared in the cockpit.

Prisoner No. 1 struggled.

Just like a fish out of water, struggling desperately to get back into the water.

"The dream connection is broken—"

The dream program lost its signal and Prisoner No. 02 was completely swallowed up by the test machine.

Ikari Fumihiko expressed his own judgment.

"The idea is correct. The reason for the failure this time is... he is unwilling to come back."

"What's in the core? Why doesn't he want to come back?"

Akagi Naoko's doubts are also what Ikari Fumihiko is curious about.

"I'm curious too."

This time no miracle happened. Prisoner No. 1 was completely silent like most of the people who were swallowed up, and not a single bit of him escaped from the core.

The two of them studied the information of Prisoner No. 1.

The trajectory is different from that of Prisoner No. 2, but also very similar.

They are all ordinary people with little differences.

Therefore, the rescue template of prisoner No. 2 was directly applied.

After setting up the dream, it was handed over to Zhao Shuo and others to deal with, while Ikari Fumihiko and Akagi Naoko focused their attention on prisoner No. 03 and test machine .

The replication experiment did not start directly.

Naoko Akagi was the first to speak up and express her opinion.

"The signal was lost mainly because the 'line' is not strong enough. If the 'line' is strong enough, we can forcibly salvage him no matter how hard he struggles."

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking.

"Increases the power of the mind in dreams."

This is actually nonsense. With their current capabilities, they can only come up with this one solution.

mainly……

"Arrange personnel to enter this dream program? Or use other dreams to conduct this experiment?"

"Let's try this dream."

Ikari Fumihiko paused for a moment and then spoke out his thoughts.

"Edit this dream program into a game instance. I will log in and pull a group of players in to create some mental power."

Then the two of them took action.

They don't need to design the game copy because the game department has ready-made templates that they can use directly.

Fumihiko Ikari logged into the game and without calling out to anyone or recruiting anyone, he directly sold this 'limited time' copy location to a large guild.

More than a thousand high-level players entered the dungeon screaming.

Sitting in front of the computer and feeling the atmosphere of the players' copy strategy, he felt itchy inside.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he said something to Naoko Akagi, then walked into the virtual warehouse in the laboratory and joined in.

This play...

Completely forgot about the experiment.

There was only one thought left in my mind: how to clear the dungeon.

Naoko Akagi looked thoughtfully at the various background permissions that were automatically locked after Fumihiko Ikari entered the game.

Fumihiko Ikari has been keeping a straight face to hide his emotions recently.

She naturally noticed it, but she just held back and didn't ask.

Now seeing the locked system background permissions, she suddenly reacted.

The state of hiding his emotions that Fumihiko Ikari has been maintaining is actually the deployment of the AT force field, right? ? However, as a human being, his spiritual power is too weak, so he does not deploy the materialized AT force field of EVA that can resist attacks on the material level. He can only block his emotional fluctuations like now.

20:12:42

624. I am only a little bit away from reaching the full th floor.

Just a little bit more and Fumihiko Ikari can deploy the materialized at force field.

Naoko Akagi was shocked by the thought in her mind.

Can humans really achieve this?

the answer is negative.

At least as far as she knew, no human could do such a thing.

Fumihiko Ikari is the only human who can do this.

As he looked at the picture on the screen with flickering eyes, an idea flashed through his mind.

wrong……

It should be said that the original thoughts became stronger.

If you were to pilot the artificial god, humans would surely defeat the apostles.

Two days passed quickly.

Fumihiko Ikari left the virtual warehouse with regret.

Akagi Naoko asked from the side.

"How about it?"

"The difficulty setting is too high, and no strategy was successful within the time limit."

Although it’s a bit regretful, I had a lot of fun this time.

If the countdown for the copy had not ended, Ikari Fumihiko would still be reluctant to quit the game even though he was forced to be kicked out.

He prefers life in games to reality.

how...

He was inexplicably burdened with the mission of saving all mankind, and he had no control over what he did. If he had a choice, he would rather be a brick-moving party in the game than enjoy his current wealth and status. At least being a brick-moving party does not require so much thinking, nor does it have to bear so many responsibilities, but life will definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.

"Need a break?"

"No, just start."

Fumihiko Ikari also took some breaks from the game these two days, and he didn't play it non-stop.

The two came to the control room.

Prisoner No. 03 and test machine were pulled out from the warehouse.

Although each test machine only has a brain and a core and is a semi-finished product, each one has to be modified by the three sages, and the actual cost is not low.

however……

This project has the highest authority and concerns the fate of all mankind, so naturally there is no cost issue.

After all, if humans are gone, everything will be gone.

Everyone knows this account clearly.

Compared with the previous two experiments, the third set of experiments can only be described as uneventful.

With the mental power provided by thousands of players, although Prisoner No. 3 also showed strong resistance this time, he was still pulled back. No, no... it would be more appropriate to use the word "salvaged" at this time. Prisoner No. 3 was like a fish in water, and the dream program and the players' mental power were the fishing boats and fishing nets.

Prisoner No. 3 was handed over to the medical team for a physical examination and his mental state was also observed through a dream program.

Naoko Akagi presented the inspection report.

"Nothing unusual."

Prisoner No. 3 who was salvaged showed no abnormalities either physically or mentally.

"Does this mean that our experiment has achieved initial success?"

"Obviously, it is."

Akagi Naoko's tone was filled with excitement.

Ikari Fumihiko was also very excited, but he was the first to calm down.

"Let's start the next test."

As he finished speaking, Prisoner No. 03 was stuffed back into the storage compartment and placed on the test machine before he even woke up.

"I don't think it's necessary to test the extreme data."

"???"

"It has been proven before that the power of the mind can strengthen the rope. There is no need to consider this aspect anymore."

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Indeed! This time, we only needed the spiritual power of a thousand players to complete the salvage."

There are now 500 million real-time online players in virtual games, and this number is growing rapidly with the construction of relevant infrastructure.

With such backup forces, they really don't have to worry about the limits of salvage.

Now it is time to test whether this has completed the eva.

"Notify logistics to send prisoner number four over."

"Yes."

After Zhao Shuo responded, he took action.

Prisoner No. 4 was soon sent to the laboratory. Fumihiko Ikari took a look at the file and was a little surprised.

"Number Four is a woman?"

Naoko Akagi also leaned over to take a look.

Prisoner No. 4 is not only a woman, but also a young and beautiful woman.

"Gender has no effect on this experiment, right?"
