Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

80. Neon Genesis Evangelion

About ‘Roche·Folley·Thousand-World Tree’

The Master of Avesbronn, a boy from a family of golems, was selected to become a participating Master in the Holy Grail War at the age of thirteen due to his excellent 'quality'.

It was carefully designed by the family before birth, and it accepted challenges from the fertilized egg stage from beginning to end. Not only the birth, but also all the growth after that was calculated as a 'genius devil user'.

The irony is that Roche, who has been so carefully adjusted, is not so much a human golem user as he is a golem in the form of a living human being. Therefore, after summoning Avisbron, the relationship between the two parties is not so much Master and disciple, or master and disciple, it is better to say that they are Avisbron and his golem as the demon puppeteer. In the end, he was betrayed by Avisbron who could not bear the desire to "complete the artificial ancestor titan" and became The parts that constitute the core mechanism of the 'Ancestor Titan'.

Avisbron recorded the intelligence of the incident afterwards, so that he would remember this crime every time he appeared in the world.

If you think about it this way, Mr. Avisbron is still a magician, another kind of Hohenheim, right?

Lu Mingfei felt that he seemed to understand why Kong Ming brought him here.

But thinking about it carefully, if Lu Mingfei was forced to use words to describe what he understood, Lu Mingfei would not be able to explain why.

However, after going around in such a big circle, convincing Finn, confirming what kind of character Avisbron is, and having a good relationship with him, Kong Ming only has the last step to explain this operation:

1. I can help you strengthen your trump card, the artificial ancestor giant-'EVA'

2. Only we in Chaldea can achieve this technology

3. As a price, you cannot escape. As part of the actual combat test of weapons, use ‘EVA’ to try to fight against Kirshtalia.

4. Regardless of the outcome of victory or defeat, Chaldea and Thousand World Tree will continue to cooperate around the further strengthening and transformation of ‘EVA’

Finn naturally had no reason to reject the deal.

As long as Chaldea's technology can really significantly strengthen the artificial ancestor giant.

Besides, after learning the technique and mastering it from Thousand World Tree, he might choose to leave Chaldea alone and go it alone, right?

Avisbron was not interested in the content of this kind of negotiation of interests. When, as a Heroic Spirit Servant, he successfully completed an ancestor giant Adam in a certain world line's Holy Grail War, Avisbron's obsession It has dissipated, and all that remains is the simple sense of mission of "doing your best to save the world" and the curiosity for new knowledge.

Kong Ming was also very satisfied.

Because he knew very well that in this transaction that seemed to be completely beneficial to Thousand World Tree, there were actually many pitfalls that could only be used by Chaldea.

For example, it can indeed help the artificial ancestor giant (EVA) of Thousand World Tree to become more powerful, but only in the hands of a specific person in Chaldea can EVA fully exert its power.

If EVA can defeat Kirshtaria, that would be great. When Thousand World Tree and Chaldea meet in the finals, it will be impossible for EVA to fully exert its power without someone from Chaldea. He is the opponent of Chaldea.

Even though EVA lost to Kirshtalia, the biggest feature of weapons turned from knowledge is iterative updates.

Renewal, transformation, upgrade, and strengthening—EVA’s subsequent work cannot be separated from Chaldea’s assistance.

They will understand then.

but not now.

Whether it's Finn or Kirshtalia, the so-called ability to predict the future they possess is essentially just a 'question and answer machine'.

Just ask and you will get the answer, but conversely, if you don’t realize to ask, you won’t get the answer, and if you don’t ask the right question, you won’t get the right answer.

Kirshtalia does have some method of predicting the future, but compared to the question-and-answer machine, divination that truly predicts the future can only yield some abstract answers. Many times, it is even because of being confused by those abstract answers. Misleading led to the predicted results.

Just like that, the collaboration began.

Because time is limited, the ‘EVA transformation’ that can actually be done is limited.

In terms of basics, Avisbronn's artificial ancestor giant Adam is already very strong, and the transformation ideas brought by Kong Ming are mainly two-fold.

The first step in transformation

The original ancestor giant Adam, according to the practice of golems and the records in various human creation myths, used land as the basic material to form his body.

This in itself is not a problem. In Avisbron's view, the EVA he created is not only the 'body of God', but also belongs to the human species, a paradise sanctuary (Garden of Eden) when facing the crisis of extinction, so it is As a 'giant', he must also have characteristics similar to a 'fortress' and a 'city-state'.

Therefore, the giant's body, no matter what mystery it contains, is still clay (land) in physical properties.

He can continue to grow by absorbing the land of the planet, and even replace the planet itself, turning the planet into an ark. When facing threats from aliens, it can carry humans to the other side of the universe to find a new home. Just hide in the interior of the planet and live.

However, it's clearly not the point yet to consider that.

Since it hasn't reached that point yet, the physical properties of the soil are a bit redundant. At a height of forty meters, the body of the soil will appear particularly bloated.

So - replace the physical characteristics with a flesh-and-blood body similar to that of a human being.

Avisbronn raised objections to this: "I understand what you mean, Lord Kong Ming, but I have also tried similar ideas. The flesh and blood of gods can be simulated using wheat flour and wine, but the problem is After that - such a giant, such a high-performance ancestor giant, can easily give birth to its own personality consciousness after activation, and then escape from our control. Adam is a primitive human being, even if it is said that he was created by the Lord in imitation of himself, he What we have in the most primitive stage is not so much human nature as "animal nature". The real human species was born after the ancestor swallowed the forbidden fruit, fell to the mortal world, and obtained the dark soul called "human nature". Of course I would like to have such an enhancement plan, but it would be meaningless if there is no enhancement and no control.”

As expected of a professional academic, the discussion started with a lot of words, without even taking a breath.

Kong Ming's answer was clearly prepared and he looked confident: "Our Chaldean technology is here to solve this problem!"

The second step of transformation

This step is the most critical, that is, to propose something that modern people take for granted, but for Avisbron, who is limited by the times and habits, it is very difficult for him to realize it as long as no one takes the initiative to propose it. question.

To put it bluntly, people from the old era cannot immediately adapt to the common sense and common sense of the new century.

What is the most important part of making a golem? As the puppet master, Avisbron naturally knows very well that that is the ‘core’.

No matter what kind of excellent magic puppet it is, if it does not have a suitable core, the efficiency it can exert after it is actually started will naturally produce various problems - the biggest problem is low efficiency, resulting in the inability to perform as it should. power.

Golems need cores.

This is common sense.

So how to make the core?

There are many ways to artificially make a core, but the best core is undoubtedly the living body, especially the 'heart' of an excellent magician who has been constantly debugging and adjusting since it was not even born.

In Avisbronn's original plan, the heart of the ancestor giant Adam would be filled by its master, 'Roche'.

But there is no need to sacrifice Luo Xie's life, just take out Luo Xie's heart and install it when activating the ancestor giant Adam.

After all, this is a fairy tale world. It's just that the heart was taken away. It's just that you won't die for something like this.

This can be regarded as an ‘improvement’ made by Avisbron, right?

But that alone is not enough.

Limited by his own time and common sense, it was difficult for Avisbron to think of such a method - for example, to separate the core of the giant from the giant, so that both of them could maintain a relatively independent individual state.

In human terms, a flesh-and-blood giant is used as a 'machine god', and the person who provides the 'core' is used as a 'pilot' to ride aboard.

Specifically, a long columnar special 'insertion bolt' was created in the core of the chest of the ancestor giant Adam.

A special 'cockpit' is installed in the insertion bolt. As the core provider, as long as you reach it as a driver and need to start the giant battle, insert the insertion bolt to allow the driver to reach the core position and play his role. As the core task, just activate the giant.

On the other hand, if you are worried about the Titan losing control, you only need to pull out the insertion bolt to forcibly stop the action.

Coincidentally, Chaldea happens to have this kind of bolt insertion technology - Chaldea's spirit transfer technology originally used something similar, and the principles are similar.

Tesla, on the other hand, provides its own "radio wave information transmission device" to connect the driver's consciousness with the "animal instinct" possessed by the flesh-and-blood giant when the giant is actually operating.

By increasing the 'synchronization rate' between the brain waves of both parties, the driver is no longer just a core part, but can truly fight as a giant.

It is truly worthy of the name - 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'

The principle itself is not complicated, but if no one takes the initiative to emphasize it, even Avisbron will not be able to turn this corner and realize this.

Fiore may be aware of this, but she is only good at the mechanical field, and is not good at biological giant golems in war. Naturally, she is too polite to mention this to the expert Avisbron.

The rest of the Qianjieshu family either didn't realize it, or they were aware of it but were too embarrassed to bring it up.

As the monarch of the modern magic department, Kong Ming (Weber) is used to similar things.

Rather, this is a normal and common situation.

"Creation Science", which adheres to the ancient tradition of "following the trend and constantly innovating" that has been passed down for thousands of years, is a special case.

Only in a place like the Creation Department can an existence like Aozaki Orange appear. Although Weber's Modern Magic Department bears this name, most of the time it teaches some ancient content, but it is mixed with various novel things. There's a lot of exposure, coupled with Weber's vast field of vision, allowing him to see a lot.

The second step of transformation is the most critical part, but the really hardest part is actually realizing, "Can it still be played like this?"

Kong Ming, Tesla, and the captured Lu Mingfei all personally participated in this transformation process.

Fortunately for others, Lu Mingfei was a little confused. Kong Ming said that he should be involved, but he did not let Lu Mingfei be specifically responsible for a certain part of the transformation work. At most, he only explained carefully how Lu Mingfei needed to be manipulated. stent, or testing the performance of the insertion bolt.

It felt like they were forcing Lu Mingfei to come over to "participate".

But the transformation process was very smooth, so unbelievably smooth that even Avisbron couldn't help but sigh that many test contents that might have gone through hundreds or thousands of trials and errors were miraculously passed in one or two attempts. .

Lu Mingfei didn't have much opinion on this, all he had was a desire to complain.

Specifically:

"Why does this thing look more and more like EVA!?"

Avisbron felt that her words were meaningless: "This is EVA."

It seems that there is no problem, and it seems that everything is a problem.

As one of the technical personnel assigned to Qianjieshu, Kaduo climbed out after entering the insertion bolt and confirming that people other than Lu Mingfei could activate the EVA normally.

"It's initially completed, but something of this level is better called 'Unit 0 (0)' than 'Unit 1 (1)'? There are still many parts that can be improved, and there is another problem. This The thing's ability to grow is still maintained, and as long as its feet are on the ground, it will continue to grow, and its size will become larger and larger."

Kado took out his tablet and placed in front of everyone the analysis model created by Shinji who was enthusiastically involved in the renovation project.

"The problem here, specifically, is that the [animalistic] part of EVA will continue to grow. A higher mental synchronization rate of the driver will improve performance, but the risk will also increase dramatically, and even cause loss of control."

Cardo tilted his head and thought of a suitable adjective.

"A beast, and a [raging beast]. As long as it continues to run rampant, its posture and strength will become closer and closer to the apostles (angels) in the Kabbalah tree of life. The driver inserted into the bolt as the core will be constantly beaten in the process. Assimilation, the final result of assimilation is probably to lose human form, melt into a pool of spiritual solution, and be swallowed by the rampaging EVA people."

Kong Ming didn't seem to care about this: "In fact, not many people can achieve this level of synchronization rate, and the insertion bolt has an emergency escape device, which is prepared for this. Of course, in order to limit this kind of growth that can lead to rampage, we also Get ready. Lulu, you can ask Fiore to bring over the things she is responsible for making and install them."

Kong Ming suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei again.

This reminded Lu Mingfei of a task he had given himself before, which was to design a pair of armor for the EVA Unit Zero according to his own preferences.

Because the inducement was too obvious, Lu Mingfei naturally used his humanoid printer skills to draw the appearance of Unit Zero from a classic old animation called "Neon Genesis Evangelion" that he remembered.

Then, Unit Zero EVA put on this full-body armor, wrapping Unit Zero tightly,

Of course, even though it is said to be an armor, it can actually function as an armor. However, everyone present who was responsible for the design and transformation knew, especially Fiore, who was responsible for the actual production, that the main job of this armor was to be a 'restrainer'. It is a restraint device used to isolate the ancestor giant of Unit Zero from the uncontrolled and crazy growth of the earth, and to limit the "rage" of Unit Zero.

At this point, Lu Mingfei no longer wanted to complain about the sense of déjà vu.

Because it is obvious that Kong Ming did this on purpose.

Then, the plan came to its final step.

——Olga Marie was suddenly called over

Before that, she had been carefully making the Great Command Spell. She was called here without knowing what was going on. She stood in front of Unit Zero and stared at Kong Ming who had called her here in stunned silence. Lu Mingfei stood beside him as if he was trying to hold something in.

Kong Ming sat in front of the table, wearing glasses, with his hands crossed and resting on his chin, looking at the confused Olga Marie.

"Olga, it's up to you to drive the EVA."

Then, time returns to the present.

Olga Marie, who was in the insertion bolt of Unit Zero and driving the artificial ancestor titan, faced the ‘planet bomber’ approaching her——
