I participated in the development of EVA

Return to the Lingbo Project Team.

When Dr. Ito saw Fumihiko Ikari return, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are finally back. There should be nothing else to do next, right?"

"It should be gone."

There were too many unexpected events today, and Fumihiko Ikari was not sure if there would be any more unexpected events in the future.

Dr. Ito was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, but he had to endure it no matter how dissatisfied he was.

The hyacinth experiment officially begins.

Fumihiko Ikari couldn't help much in this regard. He just sat in the control room and watched everyone busy.

Time passed slowly and quickly, and soon it was evening.

Even an idle person like Ikari Fumihiko was tired of watching, while the busy people around him were all very excited.

Dr. Ito was the excited one among them.

Ikari Fumihiko couldn't help it any longer.

"How about it?"

"very smooth."

Doctor Ito paused for a moment, then excitedly added: "The link device allows us to have a more complete understanding of the mental state of vegetative patients. For example, the reason why Patient No. 1 cannot wake up is that his mind is trapped in a maze constructed by memories. In a sense, he has remained awake. To put it simply, he cannot distinguish between reality and dreams."

Fumihiko Ikari was speechless. He understood the first part of the content, but the simpler statement in the latter part made him a little confused.

"To put it simply, he took the dream as reality."

"Correct."

Dr. Ito responded and then added with mixed feelings.

"Except for No. 1 and No. 5 who have problems with self-cognition, the remaining 43 people all have brain nerve damage."

"If we refine the neural circuits, we can find out where the problem lies, right?"

Doctor Ito was delighted when he heard this, but then he shook his head. "The human brain is too complicated. The amount of calculations required to complete such a test is astronomical. Even if we don't consider the cost and whether today's computers can complete this calculation, even if we find the problem, we are not able to repair the damaged tissue with our current medical level."

He sighed and concluded the matter.

"Save as many as you can."

Ikari Fumihiko nodded, having already anticipated this result.

"Any progress in mind incubation?"

Dr. Ito hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Based on the feedback data, it's slightly... well, that's too vague, so let's use the synchronization rate to quantify it! If the synchronization rate is maintained below 10%, neither party will be affected too much. Theoretically, as long as the synchronization rate is maintained below 10%, it can provide enough stimulation. Of course, the specific situation still needs to be verified through trial and error."

Ikari Fumihiko had no idea about the 10% synchronization rate, he just felt that it was still a bit unsafe.

"Then let's start from one percent."

Dr. Ito did not think that Fumihiko Ikari's behavior was too conservative, but rather a bit radical.

For normal people, less than 10% is like a baby. However, she also knows that the lowest power that current technology can maintain is 1%.

After pondering for a moment, she spoke again and expressed her concerns.

"She has EVA cells in her body. Can a normal person connect with her?"

Ikari Fumihiko was stunned. He had never thought about this before. When he came to his senses, he sighed helplessly.

In the end, the influence of Ikari Yui on Ayanami Rei cannot be avoided.

He originally thought that in the original work, Ayanami Rei was influenced by Ikari Yui because Ikari Yui was in charge of the research and development department. Now that Dr. Ito raised this concern, he realized another possibility. Ordinary people cannot establish a connection with Ayanami Rei. Only Ikari Yui, who has the same cells, can establish a connection with Ayanami Rei.

He was a little unwilling to give up.

"Let's give it a try first! If it doesn't work... we'll have to let Minister Ikari participate in the project."

Dr. Ito was stunned for a moment, then he understood the logic.

There are not only EVA cells in Rei Ayanami's body, but also Yui Ikari's cells.

While I was impressed by Fumihiko Ikari's ability, I was also a little confused.

Did Fumihiko Ikari realize this problem in advance and have an answer prepared long ago, or did he think of the answer on the spot?

It should be the former...

Otherwise this would be too exaggerated.

Rei Ayanami looks no different from a human being, so it's easy for people to overlook the fact that she has EVA cells.

"Indeed, to some extent, it can be regarded as EVA."

Although the two have finalized the plan, Rei Ayanami is still receiving the new LCL liquid to adjust her body.

The relevant experiments did not officially begin until a week later.

During this period, Fumihiko Ikari had been screening candidates, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a satisfactory candidate.

Dr. Ito saw the problem: Fumihiko Ikari did not trust others.

So he followed Ikari Fumihiko's thoughts and made a suggestion.

"I think you are the most suitable candidate."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

"I?"

Dr. Ito couldn't come up with a suitable reason and could only respond dryly.

"Correct."

"This...is obviously inappropriate in terms of gender, right?"

91. Access Denied

You're obviously moved...

Could you please stop being so pretentious?

Dr. Ito held it in for a long time before he spoke reluctantly.

"Your noble character is trustworthy."

Ikari Fumihiko knew that this sentence sounded a bit fake, but it did sound comfortable.

"Different genders won't cause any problems, right?"

"It's just a one percent synchronization rate, it shouldn't have any impact."

After a pause, Dr. Ito added.

"The most important thing now is to verify whether a spiritual connection can be established."

"Right."

Ikari Fumihiko did not object anymore. Apart from himself, there was no one around him whom he could trust.

Dr. Ito let out a long sigh. If she continued to argue, she really didn't know what to say.

He sat on the link device with mixed feelings, looking sideways at Ayanami Rei beside him. There was no obvious change from a week ago, and there was no obvious change in age, except that her hair had grown a little longer and needed a trim. At this moment, Ikari Fumihiko felt inexplicably excited, but he had no idea what exactly caused this emotion.

The inexplicable excitement diluted the worries about the progress of the experiment.

Although Rei Ayanami is not EVA, she is essentially closer to EVA. If Rei Ayanami did not have the EVA core, Fumihiko Ikari would not dare to participate in the experiment personally.

"The equipment is running normally. How are you now, Team Leader Wen Yan?"

Dr. Ito's voice came from the headset.

Fumihiko Ikari didn't notice anything unusual.

"no problem."

"Then I'll turn on the bidirectional pulse."

"Start it."

As Fumihiko Ikari's voice fell, the bidirectional pulse was activated.

Emptiness, nothingness...

It was like facing the air, there was nothing.

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

"Failed?"

"No……"

Before Dr. Ito could finish his words, an alarm sounded.

"Pulse reverse flow detected."

"Disconnect."

Before the link was broken, Fumihiko Ikari felt a sense of repulsion.

After the link was disconnected, he looked at Ayanami Rei first.

There was no adverse reaction, as if nothing had happened, and he just sat there quietly without moving.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and learned the situation from Dr. Ito through the headset.

"What happened just now?"

"Not sure. There is no trace of pulse return."

Dr. Ito did not explain, but Fumihiko Ikari knew the answer.

It is the EVA cells that reject themselves.

This really fulfilled Murphy's Law... No! It wasn't that things were developing in the direction that they were most worried about, but that the outcome of this matter was already determined from the moment Rei Ayanami was born.

Fumihiko Ikari felt his own condition and found nothing wrong. He glanced at Rei Ayanami and found nothing wrong either.

I took a deep breath and decided to try again.

"Come again."

Dr. Ito didn't say anything, but just cooperated and started the link device again.

This time the pulse link was disconnected before it was even established.

The EVA cells acted like a firewall and rejected his access request very straightforwardly.

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari didn't say anything, Dr. Ito spoke after a while.

"Want to try again?"

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head. The result was obvious.

"There's no need to keep trying."

After a pause, he added.

"There is indeed a problem with the opposite sex connection. Let's terminate the experiment temporarily!"

There were not only him and Dr. Ito, the two people who knew the inside story, but also a large number of staff members present at the scene, so naturally they had to be more subtle when communicating.

Dr. Ito heard that Fumihiko Ikari was planning to invite Yui Ikari to participate in the experiment.

"I think as for the candidate, we can try to invite Minister Ikari."

After a pause, he added.

"After all, she is the daughter of Minister Ikari's aunt."

Fumihiko Ikari was a little surprised as to when Rei Ayanami had such an additional identity, and then he reacted.

The on-site staff didn't know much about Ikari Yui, the R&D director, so they naturally didn't notice the similarities in appearance between Ayanami Rei and Ikari Yui. However, if Ikari Yui joined the project, this would be noticed quickly. If Ayanami Rei was in normal physical condition, the project team members would naturally not make random associations, but the problem is that there are too many abnormalities in Ayanami Rei that can easily lead to associations.

After all, the minimum educational level here is a college degree.
