I participated in the development of EVA

It is a rather dreamy children's city, just like walking into a fairy tale.

The Japanese authorities not only built this city in the safe zone, but also hired a large number of kind elves in the game who like to play with children to take care of these artificial children. The children's faces were filled with happy and innocent smiles that never disappeared.

Seeing this scene, he began to waver and wondered if his ideas were out of date.

At the same time, a doubt also emerged.

"Aren't minors prohibited from entering virtual games?"

[This is the permission granted by Professor Akagi. 】

Ikari Fumihiko was surprised.

"Is there anything else going on here regarding Ritsuko Akagi?"

[The fairy tale city and breeding base here were completed by Dr. Akagi and other scholars. 】

After the explanation, the three wise men added another sentence.

【This is the only solution to the birth rate problem. 】

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it and felt relieved.

Ritsuko Akagi actually took this responsibility for herself.

This decision was actually made because he was the one who had to take responsibility. However, he had been hiding inside the Type 02 prototype for some time, and outsiders could not contact him, so they could only contact Ritsuko Akagi as a second choice.

wrong……

The timing is a bit off.

Some of the children in the human breeding base are already over one year old, which means that this base has existed for at least two years.

He immediately dropped the relevant information and only realized it after reading it.

The predecessor of the Human Breeding Base was the Spark Embryo Experiment Base. In order to earn foreign exchange, the Japanese government allowed the Spark Project to conduct technical demonstration experiments on artificial reproduction here.

The older children were the remains of that experiment.

697. Reveal

Although these older children now live in human breeding bases, they are not out of the scope of the Spark Project.

Because they are also long-term observation subjects of the Fire Project.

The goal of the Spark Project is to continue human civilization in outer space, so naturally the stability of artificial breeding technology must be ensured. However, when looking for a solution to the population birth rate problem, the Japanese officials incorporated the observation subjects into the breeding plan.

While looking through relevant information from around the world, Fumihiko Ikari discovered a file that was both outrageous and not outrageous.

After coming into contact with artificial reproductive technology, some wealthy people have used different eggs to cultivate hundreds of offspring at one time, and the most exaggerated one has even had nearly a thousand.

They wanted to cultivate their most satisfactory successor from these offspring through the method of raising Gu.

In addition, some scholars are preparing plans for human race optimization.

Simply put, it is to optimize the genes of human offspring.

The scholar's intention in establishing the project is not to eliminate the genes of all ordinary people, but to allow everyone to combine with excellent genes as much as possible.

It looks complicated, but to put it simply, it is selling the sperm and eggs of social elites.

This social elite does not refer to social status.

It refers to someone who has acquired a skill, such as an Olympic athlete or a scientist who has won a world award. For example, the service provided by this scholar is: if you want your offspring to have a skill in sports, you can sell the corresponding gene to the buyer, and then combine it with the buyer's gene to create the child through artificial reproduction technology.

Children are like commodities and can freely choose their conditions.

This project looks like a decent one, but in fact...

Artificial reproductive technology is not genetic modification technology. It can only simulate the uterine environment to provide an environment for the combination of sperm and eggs, and it cannot guarantee that the children born can meet expectations.

The more I get to know Fumihiko Ikari, the more frightened I become.

Artificial reproductive technology is not only full of chaos, but also has huge loopholes.

There is a large number of institutions recorded in the archives whose entities cannot be found at all, which means that as many as 100,000 artificial embryos are missing.

Where did these embryos go?

Was it swindled away by a shell company used by Seele? Or was it traded to Seele by the former parliament?

Or was he used to raise assassins?

"Issue a notice to completely shut down artificial reproductive technology."

[This will lead to the death of a large number of embryos being cultivated. Should the conditions be corrected? ]

“Shut down any technology that’s not being used.”

[Yes, the device has been shut down. ]

Artificial reproductive technology originally originated from the artificial uterus plan in the Ayanami Rei plan that was abandoned by Fumihiko Ikari. It was later optimized and transformed through the Spark Project, and the current artificial reproductive technology was developed.

Of course this is not the point.

The point is that current artificial reproductive technology is not yet able to get rid of the Three Sages System.

Although the artificial uterine environment is realistic, it cannot be replicated 100%, so the Three Sages System is needed to perform real-time adjustments based on the condition of the embryo.

The reason why we cannot get rid of the Three Sages System for the time being is very simple. There are too many things that need to be calculated, and the calculation speed must be fast enough. At this stage, supercomputers can only meet the computing power requirements, and the calculation speed is a bit poor. The corresponding algorithms need to be opened and the architecture needs to be arranged in a targeted manner.

The latter is easy to deal with, but the former is difficult to solve.

Artificial reproductive technology has neither a big nor a small impact on today's human civilization.

As soon as Fumihiko Ikari issued this order, he received the relevant email.

It was sent by Ritsuko Akagi.

It was obvious that people and countries were affected, so I asked Ritsuko Akagi about the situation.

【You know it.】

It was obvious from Ritsuko Akagi's words that she was saying that Fumihiko Ikari already knew about the human breeding plan.

【I see. 】

【Not satisfied.】

Ritsuko Akagi was not questioning, but speaking in an affirmative tone.

Without waiting for Ikari Fumihiko to speak, she spoke again.

[I changed the underlying data of the elves in the game. Those little guys will take the position of elders in the families of these children. Everyone in the foster base is a brother or sister, and they will not lack love. ]

The conception expounded by Ritsuko Akagi is essentially the same as the virtual family proposed by the Three Sages, except that Ritsuko Akagi has made the concept of parents collective, rather than the modularization proposed by the Three Sages...To be honest, Fumihiko Ikari is not satisfied with either of these two plans.

Because he was influenced by his childhood in his previous life, he is more sensitive in this regard.

Some people think that...

What is true is true, what is false is false.

Although he disagreed, he could not offer a solution.

Asking the whole society to adopt these children is not a drop in the bucket, and forcing it is likely to backfire and create a greater social tragedy.

Although the virtual family is fake, its starting point is to treat each other well.

Although adoptive families are real, their starting point is not necessarily to treat their children with kindness.

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari was slow to respond, Ritsuko Akagi sent another message.

[In terms of genes, I did not optimize them. I chose random matching and did not perform genetic screening. This ensured the diversity of genes. Embryos with congenital deficiencies, or those born with diseases or disabilities would not be optimized. They were all treated with all my strength, just like children born from ordinary families.]

This is not about saying whatever you think, but about proving yourself, seeking recognition, and showing that you have thought about it seriously.

Ikari Fumihiko was in mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

In addition to the shadow of the past life, more importantly, all of this is caused by oneself.

The population black hole of Dream Program exists because of him, and artificial reproductive technology also originates from him.

Therefore, he was unable to look at the problem objectively and rationally, and was even angry and only wanted to shut down the virtual game to solve the problem. If he could be more objective and rational, he would come to the same conclusion as Akagi Ritsuko and the Three Sages' Brains, and at most he would just hesitate whether to choose the collectivist concept of Akagi Ritsuko or the modular concept of the Three Sages' Brains.

It took a long time before he sent the message.

【I want to shut down virtual games. 】

When Ritsuko Akagi saw the message, she was stunned.

Shutting down the virtual game is equivalent to terminating the artificial god project.

It took a long time before a message was sent.

What should the apostles do?

Like most people, she regarded the artificial god as humanity's ultimate weapon against the apostles.

It is not an exaggeration to say that artificial gods with infinite possibilities are the cornerstone of human civilization's victory over the apostles.

Then she thought of something else.

[What should we do with the EVA reactor? ]

Without the endless supply of mental power provided by virtual games, the EVA reactor would have no meaning to exist.

20:30:22

698. Confession

[Without artificial gods, humans can still defeat the apostles, and EVA reactors can also be replaced by photovoltaic power generation. 】

Ritsuko Akagi could not understand where Fumihiko Ikari's confidence that humans would definitely be able to defeat the apostles came from.

But there was one thing she was sure of.

If I continue to talk about this, I'm sure I won't be able to shake Fumihiko Ikari's mind.

[Now that virtual games have been running for so long, they have long been integrated into human society. The social structure reconstructed globally is also built around virtual games. What should people do after leaving virtual games? Will they return to the assembly line and compete with machines for jobs? Such a huge contrast will definitely cause large-scale unrest around the world.]

Ikari Fumihiko fell silent again.

Akagi Ritsuko spoke again.

【Can you tell me why you want to shut down virtual games? 】

【Its existence is a mistake.】

Ritsuko Akagi knew that the virtual game itself was not the reason why Fumihiko Ikari wanted to shut him down. The key problem was that he had touched Fumihiko Ikari's sore spot at the human breeding base.

[After shutting down virtual games, what will happen to the children in the human breeding base? 】

Ikari Fumihiko sighed.

[According to your plan, they can grow up healthily, but how will they integrate into this society in the future? ]

Ritsuko Akagi didn't quite understand.

【What's the meaning? 】

[Their special upbringing will make them outliers in human civilization, and they will be discriminated against no matter what they do.]

It took Ritsuko Akagi some time to understand Fumihiko Ikari's thoughts.

Simply put, humans coming out of the human breeding base are different from ordinary people and will be excluded.

【I didn’t think this through carefully.】

After thinking for a while, she spoke again.

[In fact, this idea is not wrong. As long as the collective family concept is changed to modular and promoted among ordinary people, they will no longer be outliers. ]

Fumihiko Ikari can understand the meaning of modularization, but he cannot understand what it means to promote it among ordinary people?

[After the second impact, many people lost their families. We can take this opportunity to promote the concept of virtual families, so that human breeding bases will not be considered outliers.]

[I still don’t quite understand.]

[Wait a moment, I'll sort out my thoughts and send them over.]

Fumihiko Ikari waited for a while before receiving the plan sent by Ritsuko Akagi, and then he reacted at the same time.
