I participated in the development of EVA

She was wearing loose pajamas. When she entered the room, her eyes were attracted by the computer screen. She leaned over to take a look at the content displayed and studied it carefully before she understood what it was. She was impressed by Ikari Fumihiko's powerful ability but also felt a little speechless about his imagination. How could Ikari Fumihiko transform the enemy's killing weapon into a launching device?

719. Is this how you use the phrase “review the past to learn new things”?

Is it confidence in the power of artificial gods?

Although the current virtual games have not yet covered all of humanity, they have brought together more than two billion people, and the power of the mind will accumulate, which means that the later the real apostles appear, the stronger the power of the artificial gods will be. In fact, not to mention the distant past, it is impossible to estimate the extent of the power of the mind accumulated in the current virtual games.

Because the cardinality cannot be counted or observed.

However, although this power is enormous, the artificial god structure also has fatal flaws.

Those are virtual game servers spread all over the world.

Those are the sources of power for the artificial gods, and the foundations of these artificial gods are all protected only by concrete and anchor-type nanostructures.

Sometimes she feels anxious about it.

The virtual game server was destroyed, and the so-called artificial god became no different from an ordinary second-generation machine, except that the machine was more powerful.

Therefore, she has always felt that Fumihiko Ikari's current research direction is to increase the server's protection capabilities.

Only now did I realize that Fumihiko Ikari did not study these things.

She didn't know where Ikari Fumihiko's confidence came from, and she didn't try to find out because she believed in him.

It is precisely because of belief that I do not continue to live in anxiety and panic.

It's not just her. The insiders within NERV are also no longer as panicked and anxious about the issue of the Apostles as they were at the beginning.

If Fumihiko Ikari continued to say that humans have no choice as he did in the past, everyone would become anxious and panic.

Yes--

Rather than saying that artificial gods are the stabilizing force in the hearts of modern humans, it is better to say that Fumihiko Ikari, who created the artificial gods, is the real stabilizing force in the hearts of humans.

Ritsuko Akagi put away her messy thoughts and then looked at the design drawing carefully.

After a while, I couldn't help but sigh.

With this device, mankind has truly entered the new century.

After a pause, she couldn't help but sigh.

Apostles are truly a peculiar kind of life form.

She stood up from the computer and looked at Fumihiko Ikari who was sleeping on the bed.

After thinking about it for a while, she realized that Ikari Fumihiko was in a deep sleep state in the dream program, and he would not wake up due to external influences in this state. In other words, she could correct Ikari Fumihiko's sleeping posture and put the physiological knowledge she learned into practice, but...

She didn't do that because of the variable of maternal consciousness.

Moreover, she felt that only if Ikari Fumihiko took the initiative to do this kind of thing could it give his mother a strong enough stimulation.

So she just put on her pajamas, went to the bed and lay down next to Ikari Fumihiko. The effect of the drug began to take effect and her consciousness became dizzy.

At the last moment before falling asleep, Fumihiko Ikari turned around.

Their faces were almost touching.

She could feel every breath that Fumihiko Ikari exhaled, as well as the face that had appeared in her dreams countless times.

The first time the two met flashed through his drowsy mind.

……

After waking up from a deep sleep, Fumihiko Ikari felt a familiar warmth in his arms.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Naoko Akagi sleeping in his arms. He was a little dazed at the moment and subconsciously prepared to review the past, but he came to his senses just as he was about to take action.

Naoko Akagi's soul was injected into the core of the Type 02 prototype.

There's no way it could be here!

After this thought flashed through my mind, I immediately thought that this person should be Ritsuko Akagi.

There are many people who have the authority to enter this dream program. After all, this is the dream responsible for education in Japan and France. However, there are only two people who can get close to this building, namely Ayanami Rei and Akagi Ritsuko. Ayanami Rei can't do such a thing, and only Akagi Ritsuko has the conditions and motivation to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, he was so scared that he pulled his hand back.

At the same time, an idea came to his mind that he should pretend to be stupid and cooperate with Ritsuko Akagi's acting, so that he could rescue Naoko Akagi from the body of the Type 02 prototype.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately extinguished it.

He got out of bed in a panic, and fled the room without even bothering to put on his clothes.

Ritsuko Akagi is in a deep sleep at the moment. As long as there is no problem with her body in reality, she will sleep until she wakes up naturally, just like Fumihiko Ikari last night who was not awakened by the noise around him.

When I came to the living room, a cool breeze blew.

Only then did Fumihiko Ikari come to his senses and create a set of clothes for himself. At this moment, a prompt sounded in the brain of the three sages.

【Good morning. 】

"Good morning... No! Now is not the time to say good morning. Help me retrieve the video from last night."

He saw Naoko Akagi appear out of nowhere in the living room.

He seemed to be in a daze, and he stood there for a long time before coming to his senses and muttering to himself.

"Didn't I inject my soul into the core of the Type 02 prototype? How did it appear here? Did Fumihiko do something... to pull my consciousness out of it?"

Fumihiko Ikari did not have much love for Naoko Akagi, so he was not overwhelmed by the joy of regaining her, and he would not lose his mind and deceive himself.

At this moment he became even more suspicious of Ritsuko Akagi.

Again, the only person who has the reason and conditions to do such a thing is Ritsuko Akagi.

Naoko Akagi in the picture continued to stand there, and after a long time she murmured to herself again, "There are no special equipment around, this should be a dream... He can only extract my soul, but can't restore my body? No! If he was the one who carried out the rescue, I should have seen him the first time I opened my eyes..."

Then there was the scene where Naoko Akagi came to Fumihiko Ikari's bedroom, took a look, then walked into the next room, took off her clothes, took a shower, and put on her pajamas.

Looking at that familiar graceful body, he was in a trance for a moment, and was reminded of what had happened between them in the bathroom.

Then, Naoko Akagi, who was only wearing a thin layer of pajamas, entered the bedroom and was attracted by his research materials. After seeing these research materials, Naoko Akagi came to the bed and fell asleep beside him.

Everything seemed to be fine, but the more it seemed so, the more he felt that this couldn't be Naoko Akagi.

The reason is simple...

This is illogical. Without any rescue action taken by herself, there is no reason why Naoko Akagi could wake up from the core.

"Retrieve the core data."

Background data showed that when Naoko Akagi appeared, there was no fluctuation in the core.

This made him more certain of his guess.

No matter what the reason was for Akagi Naoko to wake up, it is impossible for the core to be completely free of fluctuations.

That's the truth, but he still checked on Ritsuko Akagi's situation.

"What is Ritsuko doing now?"

[She is still in the room, and there is no relevant equipment inside. ]

20:40:00

720. Self-taught, is this how you use it?

Just as Fumihiko Ikari was about to change his train of thought and check whether Ritsuko Akagi had used the dream program, the three sages had new clues in their brains.

【The target appears in the surveillance video. 】

He looked up.

Then I saw Ritsuko Akagi walking out of the room yawning, and then went to the cafeteria.

He was a little confused when he saw this scene, and felt like his brain was not enough.

Not Ritsuko Akagi?

Is that really Naoko Akagi in the room?

If this is the case, why was Naoko Akagi's consciousness projected into the dream program?

He thought of the Academy City in his dreams.

It is no longer limited to Japan, but brings together students from all over the world.

The reason for this situation is naturally that dream education is superior to traditional education, which has attracted countries all over the world to join. Now there are nearly 100 million educated people studying in it.

In other words, the current Academy City is a huge city with a population of nearly 100 million.

Of course, the point is not these, he suspected that the huge mental power gathered by the students in the fierce attack program had an impact on the 02 type prototype. The reason for this idea is that the evolution of the 02 type prototype requires two necessary conditions without the s2 mechanism.

One is the enormous power of the mind.

The second is lcl.

Now Dream Education is directly connected to the Type 02 prototype, but it does not have enough LCL to provide evolutionary energy.

He subconsciously glanced at the brains of the three sages.

Could it be the Type 02 prototype, or could it be that Lilith wanted to complete her evolution and projected Akagi Naoko's consciousness into my dream to induce me to complete the last step! ?

wrong……

If they only wanted to complete the conditions for evolution, the three sages could secretly open the gates and inject LCL.

Can't this be done?

Or is the idea wrong?

He got a headache from thinking so much, and even a very stupid idea popped into his mind.

Could it be that all this was caused by some level 6 absolute ability user research in Academy City?

The thought made him laugh.

The dream process is somewhat mysterious, but not to this extent.

Compared to this, he would rather believe...

It was because Naoko Akagi wanted to see him that she broke free of a trace of consciousness from the core and projected it into the dream to meet him.

“Is it really that difficult?”

This guess is also outrageous, but after excluding the factor of Ritsuko Akagi, it is the most reasonable answer now.

His eyes fell on the big screen.

Looking through the surveillance camera at the restaurant, I saw Ritsuko Akagi, who looked tired, eating breakfast while writing and drawing something in a notebook.

At this time, Misato Katsuragi also appeared in the cafeteria.

The two girls were chatting and laughing while eating breakfast. Misato Katsuragi wanted to invite Ritsuko Akagi to go shopping in the Third New Tokyo City later, but Ritsuko Akagi refused due to work. However... Misato Katsuragi was unreasonable at all. After breakfast, she dragged Ritsuko Akagi out of the underground research institute and came to the ground, and took the bus to the Third New Tokyo City.

During this time, Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi discussed taking a driver's license test together, and then taking out a loan to buy a car after getting the license.

Ritsuko Akagi echoed helplessly.

Ikari Fumihiko wanted to find the flaws in it, but he couldn't see any problems.

At this time, Naoko Akagi woke up and appeared in front of him in pajamas with sleepy eyes.

"what happened?"

He was in a daze for a moment, then asked back in confusion.

"What happened?"

"What else could it be? That's why I'm here."

"do not know."

Ikari Fumihiko answered truthfully and then asked a question in return.

"Do you remember what you said to me last time?"

"Which sentence?"

"All."
