I participated in the development of EVA

The interviewer put away the information and added another sentence.

"If you have any new information, you can contact me at any time."

"Ok."

Kana Fuyutsuki left the office and immediately picked up her cell phone, checking it with mixed feelings.

【Don't push yourself too hard, take some time to rest. 】

She had deliberately approached Ikari Fumihiko in the first place. Her original plan was to use emotional control to make Ikari Fumihiko cooperate with UN investigators to investigate SEELE. She was still determined to do so even when she left the base. However, when the time came, she gave up the original plan and even took the initiative to conceal the existence of Ikari Fumihiko.

It's not that she's really in love...

But this body is not controlled by her alone, and her secondary personality has completely projected her feelings for her ex-boyfriend onto Fumihiko Ikari.

wrong--

She mistook Ikari Fumihiko for her ex-boyfriend.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was true that people who take advantage of feelings would only be taken advantage of by feelings.

As for why you didn't take the initiative to obtain more intelligence when you were at the base?

Because she knew that the Seele organization was conducting comprehensive surveillance on everyone in the base, and comprehensive listening equipment was installed in every room. In the two years she lived in the base, she witnessed more than a dozen people disappear because of this. That was why many members would rather sleep on the floor at their posts than go back to the dormitory to rest.

however……

The workplace has more comprehensive monitoring facilities than the dormitory.

【The same to you.】

She didn't really want to reply because she knew this person wasn't her real ex-boyfriend, but the strong emotions in her heart made her reply.

Not only did he reply to the message, he even attached a photo of himself in a doctor's uniform.

【Photos, do the new uniforms look good? 】

【Mainly because she is beautiful.】

Fumihiko Ikari silently saved the photos, preparing to use them when he felt lonely.

Such a hot girlfriend...

It seems that having a dual personality is not unacceptable.

After chatting with Fuyutsuki Kana for a few more words, Fumihiko Ikari put down his phone.

Instead of returning to the No. 0 lab, he left the second lab area and went to the first lab area to check on Rei Ayanami. As soon as he entered, he saw that Rei Ayanami had grown taller, but her eyes were still clear, and she was as delicate and quiet as a doll. At this time, a researcher, no! It should be a nurse, was trimming Rei Ayanami's long hair.

Seeing the stranger come in, the nurse who helped Rei Ayanami trim her hair obviously did not know Fumihiko Ikari.

"you are?"

"I'm Fumihiko Ikari."

The female nurse obviously thought that Fumihiko Ikari was a nurse who was transferred here.

"You've come just in time. I'm going to help the patient clean his body later. Please go to the bathroom and fill up the water first."

Ikari Fumihiko did not refuse.

"Uh-ok."

The layout of the first experimental area is completely different from that of the second experimental area. It is more like a special ward than a laboratory.

After putting the water in, Fumihiko Ikari returned and asked Rei Ayanami out of habit.

"Li, do you remember me?"

Rei Ayanami didn't react at all, and even her eyes didn't seem to be focused on him.

The female nurse was a little surprised.

"You know her?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head first, then nodded.

"I don't really know her, but I'm concerned about her situation."

"This little girl is really pitiful. She is suffering from such a rare disease in this situation." After a pause, the female nurse could not help but ask Ikari Fumihiko, "You call her Rei, so you should know her full name, right? Can you tell me? This will make it easier for us to communicate in the future."

Ikari Fumihiko felt that this information was not confidential and spoke up.

"Rei, Ayanami Rei."

The nurse nodded, then refocused her attention on Rei Ayanami and said, "Hello, Rei Ayanami, I'm Misa, Jonouchi Misa."

Fumihiko Ikari looked at Jonouchi Misa and then at Ayanami Rei.

Wait!

Will she become the soil for Rei Ayanami's growth in the future because of this?

wrong--

Sincere emotions.

Damn, I think I am the most suitable candidate.

"Why are you just standing there? Go check if the water is ready."

Your expression changes too quickly, doesn't it?

She was so gentle just now, but how come she became a completely different person after hearing Rei Ayanami's name from me?!

Fumihiko Ikari went to the bathroom in silence and watched the bathtub fill up little by little.

When the water tank was almost full, the female nurse came in from outside, reached out to test the water temperature, and her brows immediately frowned.

"Can you be serious? The water is too cold!"

Ikari Fumihiko reached out to test the water temperature and found it was just right, neither too cold nor too hot.

I wanted to refute, but then I reacted.

This water temperature is suitable for men, but a little lower for women.

064. This familiar feeling of distortion is really disgusting.

"Okay, although it's not necessary, you should still go out and look after Li!"

Jonouchi Misa readjusted the water temperature.

Fumihiko Ikari came outside and looked at Rei Ayanami who was still sitting there motionless. Her long hair had been cut much shorter and carefully trimmed, making her look even cuter.

With clear eyes, he stared at the clock on the white wall.

"That's a clock. The longest hand is the second hand. Each jump represents the passage of one second. The second longest hand, the minute hand, will jump once every sixty times. After the minute hand jumps sixty times, the shortest hour hand will move from one number to another, representing the passage of one hour. There are a total of twenty-four hours in a day, which means the hour hand will rotate twice."

Ayanami Rei didn't react much, but Ikari Fumihiko continued to introduce the watches.

"You don't need to explain it in such detail. Her condition is quite complicated. Her real mental age is only a few months old. The concept of clocks and time is too complicated for her."

A female doctor walked in from outside at some point.

Ikari Fumihiko nodded.

"Hello, I'm Fumihiko Ikari."

"It turns out to be Dr. Fumihiko. I have heard of you for a long time. I am her attending physician. You can call me Dr. Ito."

Fumihiko Ikari is quite famous in the Second Experimental Area, but he didn't expect that someone in the First Experimental Area knew him.

"you know me?"

"I was transferred from the second experimental area to the first experimental area."

Hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari began to wonder if this person was one of the participants in the artificial pilot plan. He glanced at Rei Ayanami next to him and did not mention this issue.

"Since you know me, you should know why I came here."

Dr. Ito has complicated feelings.

When she first participated in the artificial pilot project, her human emotions made her resist this research, but her reason told her that this research must continue, because only in this way can all mankind be saved. Every day... no, every minute and every second was extremely painful. When Ikari Fumihiko stopped the subsequent research, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"know."

Just as Dr. Ito was about to say something, Misa Jonouchi came out of the bathroom.

"Dr. Ito, you're back."

"Ah."

Dr. Ito responded.

Misa Jonouchi looked at Fumihiko Ikari strangely. She didn't hear clearly the conversation between the two, but from the attitude of Dr. Ito when talking to Fumihiko Ikari, she knew that Fumihiko Ikari was not a transferred nurse, but a big shot who could communicate with Dr. Ito on an equal footing.

"I just trimmed the patient's hair and now I have to take the patient to wash up."

Dr. Ito responded just as simply.

"Ah."

Then he said to Ikari Fumihiko: "Let's go to the office to talk."

Ikari Fumihiko simply responded.

"Ah."

Dr. Ito paused in his steps.

"Li, would you like to take a bath with your sister?"

Dr. Ito glanced at Ikari Fumihiko and asked, "Rei? Is that the name you gave her?"

"Your full name is Ayanami Rei. I gave you the last name Ayanami, but the name Rei was given by the Minister."

"Ayanami Rei, huh? That's a nice name."

The two came to the office and Dr. Ito took out a file bag.

"You should read the above content first to get a basic understanding, and then it will be easier for me to explain it to you."

"it is good."

Fumihiko Ikari took a look at the information in the file bag and found that it was clone information disguised as a medical case. There was not much content on it. Except for the medical part which was difficult to understand, most of the content was still understandable. He had a rough understanding of Rei Ayanami's condition.

It was worse than expected, but easier to solve than I thought.

"I've finished reading it."

Dr. Ito nodded and continued to explain from the basics.

"She now has two problems that need to be solved urgently. The first is that her biological form is unstable. Leaving the LCL liquid for a long time will cause her body to collapse and return to its biological basic form. In this regard, the original project... Doctors in related fields speculated that this is related to the AT position. Secondly, too fast cell division will cause large-scale cell cancer, which also requires soaking in LCL to alleviate the problem.

Therefore, she needs to soak in high-concentration original LCL liquid for more than fifteen hours every day.

Sorry, I got off topic a bit -

There is a special substance in the LCL liquid that can inhibit... No, I personally think that the word "inhibit" is not appropriate. It should be more appropriate to use "restore". It is a substance that can restore cells that divide too quickly to normal. This situation should be caused by her body lacking a large amount of this substance. As long as this special substance is found and made into a medicine, the problem can be solved."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little confused.

“Since you knew the reason, why didn’t you take action at that time?”

Dr. Ito sighed with mixed feelings.

"This area of ​​research requires a lot of resources and personnel."

Although Dr. Ito did not continue speaking, Fumihiko Ikari already knew the answer.

It's not worth the investment to save a defective clone.

After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Ito took out a confidential document from the safe. Ikari Fumihiko took the document and took a look at it in confusion.

This is a project called Artificial Nest.

One scholar believes that cloned humans are more likely to absorb this special substance during embryonic growth, so an artificial mother nest environment can be used to give cloned embryos more time to grow and accumulate enough special substances.

The previous content is relatively normal. This scholar is aiming to create normal clones that are as close to ordinary people.

The following content made Fumihiko Ikari feel a little uncomfortable, and another scholar made a second supplement to this plan.

Supplementary plan: The above plan has disadvantages. It is not easy to control the age of clones. It is difficult to ensure that the age of clones is at the best age for driving EVA when the third impact comes. Therefore, I think that the speed of clone cell division can be controlled by controlling the amount of special substances absorbed by cloned embryos in the artificial mother nest to ensure that clones can be replaced to the best age at any time.
