I participated in the development of EVA

"We started receiving relevant training a month ago, and Zhou Zhou performed very well during this process."

Ikari Fumihiko smiled and nodded.

When the mother and daughter went to the locker room to change into combat uniforms, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but speak.

“Does the age limit for drivers have to be that low?”

Faced with this question that couldn't be more familiar, Fumihiko Ikari sighed.

"This is EVA's choice, and we are not able to change this rule now."

Ritsuko Akagi also sighed.

She did not ask why children had to drive EVA, because when she read relevant materials about EVA, it included information on this aspect.

Only children are able to bypass the EVA immune system without causing rejection.

The principle behind this is still an unsolved mystery.

She asked again with a bit of reluctance.

"Wouldn't the virtual driving system be able to circumvent this problem?"

The person who answered her was not Ikari Fumihiko, but Akagi Naoko.

"The virtual driving system is affected by the authority of the Three Sages System. Not everyone can use it."

After hearing what her mother said, Ritsuko Akagi fell silent.

The authority of the Three Sages System involves her mother's life, so she dared not discuss it.

At the same time, we also understand that if this problem could be solved, it would have been solved long ago and would definitely not be delayed until now. The solution to this problem is not whether it is cruel for children to go to the battlefield, but that children are not as stable as adults. If they can choose, no matter from which angle, people will try their best to replace the driver with an adult.

The three of them stood together without communicating with each other, but waited silently for the mother and daughter to change their clothes and come out.

Not long after, two figures, one big and one small, wearing tight combat uniforms appeared in front of the three again.

There was no extra emotion on the mother's face, and the daughter was too shy to even raise her head. She obviously felt that wearing such clothes was a bit too embarrassing. If she hadn't been dragged by her mother, she probably wouldn't have the courage to walk out of the dressing room.

"Do you need to adjust your status?"

"Need not."

"Then enter the insertion plug."

"Yes."

The mother responded seriously and then led her daughter into the insertion plug.

Then he inserted another plug.

Ritsuko Akagi glanced at Fumihiko Ikari.

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

Ritsuko Akagi activated the program.

Immediately, the two mechanical gates were automatically locked, and then the mechanical arm was raised, inserting the two plugs into the body of t001.

As soon as the insertion bolt falls to the ground, the rear neck protection device is buckled.

"All channel systems have successfully established connections, and all devices have reported no abnormalities."

Ritsuko Akagi took over Naoko Akagi's original job and reported various data to the two of them.

Ikari Fumihiko took a look at the background data and nodded after confirming that it was correct.

"Activate the dual insertion plug system."

Ritsuko Akagi immediately pressed the shortcut key, and then the three of them didn't have to do anything, everything was left to the Three Sages System.

Today's fully automatic process is the result of a new startup program written by Naoko Akagi based on the T001 startup experiment while the T000 was being assembled.

"Confirmation signal. The driver has dived deep into the core. The anchor point is stable. All circuits are normal. Do you want to activate the main driver's seat connection? Activating the main driver's seat connection device..."

Various data and system process prompts flashed across the large screen quickly.

20:14:36

631. The third update is finished. I would like to ask for some rewards at the beginning of the month.

Synchronization rate 28.77%...

t001 started successfully.

Neither Fumihiko Ikari nor Naoko Akagi felt anything special at this moment.

Although humans still haven't studied the apostles thoroughly enough, it's no longer too difficult to control the apostles' power like this.

This is like someone who has mastered the art of rubbing two sticks together to make fire and successfully lit a bonfire by doing so.

However, this scene was completely different for Akagi Ritsuko, who was participating in an EVA-related experiment for the first time. She was shocked, especially when T001's huge body moved smoothly under the control of the little girl. She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "This is incredible..."

Before she finished her words, t001 lost its balance and fell, with its huge body hitting the metal wall heavily.

The entire laboratory began to shake violently.

It was like an earthquake.

Ritsuko Akagi swallowed her saliva in fear and subconsciously glanced at Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi beside her. Seeing that they looked calm, the fear in her heart eased a little.

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

The little girl's bewildered apology came from the headset.

Ritsuko Akagi seemed a little confused after hearing this.

"Is she speaking Xia Guoyu?"

Naoko Akagi didn't know much about Xia Guoyu, so she replied a little uncertainly.

"She seemed to be apologizing."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"She's saying sorry."

After saying this, he opened the chat and replied in Xia Guoyu.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay, just relax."

The little girl called out in panic.

"Mom, mom...I want mom..."

Naoko Akagi had already activated the simultaneous translation function of the Three Wise Men System, so this time she didn't need Fumihiko Ikari's translation and was able to hear what the little girl said.

Faced with this situation, she just frowned slightly.

Ritsuko Akagi looked concerned and wanted to say something, but when she saw her mother frowning, she swallowed the words back.

There was no change in Fumihiko Ikari's expression, and he showed no impatience, because he knew in his heart that this was the behavior of a normal twelve-year-old child.

"I remember your name is Zhou Zhou, right? Mom just told you to listen to your uncle, right?"

After hearing these words, the little girl calmed down a little.

He responded timidly.

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari did not rush to correct the little girl's mistake, but expressed his concern first.

"You weren't hurt just now, were you?"

His response was still a timid one.

"Ah."

"Can you stand up now?"

"Ah."

Under Fumihiko Ikari's gradual guidance, the little girl stopped crying and shouting "Mom" and regained control of t001 and stood up.

"Take two steps now, let me see if you are injured."

"Ah."

Maybe because he was no longer nervous, t001's steps were steady this time, and he no longer felt like he would fall to the ground if the wind blew.

The T001 was very powerful, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi had dismembered more than three digits of EVA during their research, so they were already immune to this sense of oppression. Ritsuko Akagi was in contact with this for the first time, and was oppressed by the huge size of the T001.

Naoko Akagi gave a reminder at this time.

"The synchronization rate has improved."

Ikari Fumihiko took a look.

The synchronization rate increased from the initial 28.77% to 29.36%.

An idea immediately flashed through my mind: if I had let the little girl cry, would it awaken the soul sleeping in the core area?

Just like Unit-01, the mother takes over the fight.

This thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly shook his head to reject this dangerous idea.

It may seem good to have a mother playing for you, but in reality...

That's rampage.

Rampant out of control.

The mother at the core cannot be fully conscious, so this kind of substitution will not distinguish between friend and foe.

That is to say...

If that scene really happens, they will become the targets of t001's attack.

At this time, the little girl's timid voice came again.

"May I?"

"Great, that's all right... Now try to get into the elevator over there."

"Ah."

The little girl's voice was still timid, but much calmer than at first.

t001 was also affected, his steps became more and more steady, his movements became much more natural, and there was less of that uncoordinated feeling.

The new laboratory has a dedicated EVA elevator, just like the one in Germany.

t001 took a special elevator to the cave outside the laboratory.

"Stand still."

"Ah."

After leaving the elevator, the site staff replaced the umbilical power supply line for t001.

After the success of this startup experiment, T001 will no longer need to return to the experiment, and will be docked in the EVA hangar in the outdoor training ground like Unit .

The mother and daughter will not live in the underground base in the future, as there is a fast elevator that goes directly to the ground.

Rei Ayanami takes the express elevator there to travel between the ground and the base every day.

After replacing the umbilical cord charging cable, Fumihiko Ikari spoke.

"Okay, let's follow the tutorial and do the corresponding actions later, is that ok?"

"Ah."

At the signal from Fumihiko Ikari, Ritsuko Akagi activated the training tutorial.

The corresponding guidance screen immediately appeared on the internal screen of t001. This was a program written by Naoko Akagi based on the virtual game novice tutorial.

Data collection went smoothly.

Ikari Fumihiko only read a part of it and confirmed his thoughts.

really……

The second-generation test machine T000, like the second machine, belongs to the Adam sequence EVA.

He breathed a sigh of relief.
