I participated in the development of EVA

"What are you thinking - she's one of my only two good friends left."

"Are you okay now?"

"I just feel a little dizzy, but nothing else feels abnormal." After a pause, Ibuki Emi continued, "When we get back, we will temporarily stop the subsequent experiments. In addition to the neuron detection equipment, we need to add some other equipment. After we finish these, we will restart the experiment."

"Ah."

The two returned to the laboratory.

Ibuki Emi asked in confusion: "Why is the power out?"

"The emergency termination agreement just now could not be executed, so I had to use emergency communications to cut off the main power supply."

"There is either a problem with the algorithm or the hardware. Contact the logistics department and have them come over to check what the problem is. If possible, upgrade it."

"it is good."

The team is up and running again.

Ikari Fumihiko was so busy that he took out his cell phone near dinner time in the afternoon.

First, I called Eri Akagi.

"I have a date tonight, please prepare a dinner for two. If you have flowers, please prepare a bouquet. If you don't have flowers, please prepare a piece of jewelry."

"Okay, what time would you like to eat?"

"Let's set it at six o'clock! We can arrange a private room or something."

"Anything else you need?"

"Prepare a few romantic movie tapes to make it more romantic."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Fuyutsuki Kana.

The number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later.

???

Undergoing surgery?

[I have arranged dinner. Is six o'clock ok? ]

After sending the message, he returned to work.

It took about half an hour before I received a reply from Fuyutsuki Kana.

[No problem, where shall we meet? ]

[I will go to the medical department to find you then? ]

【Um. 】

He sneaked out of the laboratory at five o'clock. Although he was careful enough, he was still seen by Ibuki Emi, but she pretended not to notice.

First, I found Eri Akagi, familiarized myself with the environment, and changed my clothes.

It was almost six o'clock when he finished his work, so he brought the gifts to the medical department and waited for Fuyutsuki Kana.

【I have arrived. 】

[Okay, I'll be right out.]

Kana Fuyutsuki was obviously dressed up carefully, and she had a faint floral scent on her body.

The two came to the private room in the cafeteria that Eri Akagi had booked.

The environment is not bad, at least it is a private room with a certain degree of privacy.

After Fuyutsuki Kana sat down, he took out the necklace.

"Ms. Misato, can you let me put it on for you?"

"Ah."

He stood behind her and put the necklace on her.

"Thank you, it's beautiful."

"No, you shine brighter than that in my eyes."

As he said this, he took hold of Kana Fuyutsuki's soft, white hand. He didn't feel any struggle, which made Fumihiko Ikari realize that he was basically safe tonight.

Kana Fuyutsuki originally thought that today was just a formality, but she didn't expect Fumihiko Ikari to be so skilled.

This actually made her feel relieved.

Don’t be fooled by her aggressive words at the door of the emergency room. She was just joking with her good friend. If Ikari Fumihiko was too immature, she would feel uncomfortable doing it.

"Will it be okay to drink a little?"

Kana Fuyutsuki naturally heard the voice-over.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Adults often don't need to say too much, as they all understand each other tacitly.

Without drinking too much, the two tasted a little bit of red wine.

Uh--

This stuff tastes terrible.

I basically didn't drink alcohol before I traveled through time, so I had never tasted red wine and I just thought it tasted weird.

Had dinner.

"I've prepared some discs. Why don't you come over to my place and watch a movie?"

"Ah."

011. Well... Humanity is dying

I have no recollection of what the movie was about, I just remember that the underwear was not a complete set and that I was physically and mentally exhausted.

If I weren't busy with work, I wouldn't be able to refuse.

The two of them will definitely be in trouble for a few days given their current condition.

Since traveling through time, every day has been very stressful, especially in recent times, because of the human experiments, Ikari Fumihiko has been feeling a little overwhelmed due to the pressure. This is a good opportunity for him to relax his body and mind.

Kana Fuyutsuki did not lose her family in the second impact, but she lost some close friends. The familiar world became a ruin, and she couldn't find anyone to talk to. Everyone around her was worse off than her and lived a more painful life. All of this made her feel extremely depressed, and she could only numb herself with work every day.

Living in this post-cataclysm era, everyone is living in pain.

They tried their best to control it, and they were still not late the next day.

"No way! She pushed you last night??? I thought she was joking yesterday."

???

What do you mean she pushed me?

This lively topic made Ikari Fumihiko so choked that he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Well, it's a mutual affection... no one pushed anyone."

"Forget it, you should be more restrained and put more energy into your work. You have a lot of work to do recently."

"I know."

In order to prevent this heated topic from continuing, he responded and changed the subject.

"What are you doing?"

As Ikari Fumihiko approached, a faint scent of perfume came over, which made Ibuki Emi wrinkle her nose. It wasn't because the smell was strange, but because it reminded her of something that was not conducive to mental concentration. "During the experiment yesterday, I felt that the vision and hearing parts should not be connected mentally, as that would increase the mental burden on the driver. Converting them into digital signals and displaying them on the electronic screen and broadcasting them through communication would make the operation much easier and easier to use."

Maybe after an experiment, no major accident occurred as expected, and the facts were not as dangerous as one imagined.

Fumihiko Ikari is no longer so resistant to human experiments.

"crt?"

"We will use CRT to save some money for the time being, and will probably switch to PDP later."

Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised. "Plasma? That thing will leave afterimages if it displays a picture for a long time, right? Uh... No, afterimages alone are nothing. The cockpit will be embedded in the EVA. Will the heat generated by the plasma turn the cockpit into a pressure cooker? Cook a pot of human meat soup with amniotic fluid? Uh, driving 100 kilometers consumes one driver——"

"This technology has only been in use for a short time, right? How do you know so much?"

Before traveling through time, I liked to watch some popular science videos and had a certain understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of plasma TVs.

"In the later stage, LED LCD screens should be used."

"I don't know much about this. You can decide for yourself."

After a pause, Ibuki Emi continued, "By the way, there is a meeting to be held later."

"What meeting?"

"Just report on the progress of each project and exchange information."

"it is good."

After lunch, the two came to the conference room, and soon the room was full of people.

The number of project teams in the entire EVA department was beyond Fumihiko Ikari's imagination, but on second thought, since they were developing a magical biological weapon like EVA, it would be normal even if the number of project teams doubled.

There were only five or six people under the age of thirty in each project. Among them, Ikari Fumihiko and Ikari had seats, while Ibuki Emi sat in the audience seat. Most of the others were over forty years old. Just by looking at them, people felt that they were very knowledgeable. At this moment, Ikari Fumihiko felt like a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves. That's right! He was the husky.

The bosses spoke first and reported on the work of each department. Ikari Fumihiko only understood half of what they said and didn't know when to speak.

Seeing this, Ikari Yui shook her head and took the initiative to ask.

"Team Leader Wen Yan, how was the experiment yesterday?"

“The situation is not very optimistic. We have found many problems, but the idea is generally feasible.”

"Have you found a solution to the problem of experimental subjects' resistance?"

When he saw everyone's eyes focused on him, the pressure in his heart immediately doubled.

No...

I've been slacking off too much recently, doing nothing but non-technical stuff. Now I have to come up with something so that others won't think I'm a fake.

"We have a solution. The first idea is to find a way to suppress or bypass the experiment subject's consciousness. This requires the cooperation of other relevant departments. The second is to control floods, which is better to drain than to block. The specific idea is to increase the synchronization rate between the driver and the experiment subject, so as to reduce or solve this problem."

"Synchronization rate?"

"It's a data name that reflects the coordination between the driver and the EVA."

For a while, everyone still couldn't understand the concept of synchronization rate.

A professor frowned and said, "Do you want to tame the experimental subject like a pet?"

You've deviated too far!

"No."

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking: "It's like a blood transfusion, looking for a pilot with a blood type that matches the test subject's."

After hearing this explanation, everyone almost understood what Fumihiko Ikari meant.

Ikari Yui took over the topic.

"Do you think there are special individuals in the human race who can naturally adapt to the experimental subjects? Where is this adaptation point?"

How do I know—

These things are not mentioned in the original book!

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head.

"I am just explaining an idea. We need to verify it through experiments to know whether it is right or wrong."

Ikari Yui nodded noncommittally and looked at the other team.

"What progress has your group made?"

The speaker was Akagi Naoko, the mother of Ritsuko Akagi in the original work and the developer of the supercomputer MAGI.

"There has been no progress so far. We are still studying the special wavelengths emitted by the red core. However... Team Leader Wen Yan's speech just now gave me some inspiration. I am going to try to make a special device to change the human body's fluctuations and synchronize them with the fluctuations emitted by the EVA core to test what changes this will bring."
