Chapter 304: Helpless
The Riken researchers were utterly baffled. The phenomenon exceeded their knowledge and understanding, leaving them no choice but to attribute it to the peculiarities of biotechnology.
“What now? If this continues, we won’t be able to deliver any results,” one researcher muttered, staring at the purple-gray substance before him, which had once again undergone genetic collapse. His own composure seemed close to breaking as well.
“There’s no other choice but to tell the truth. We lack the relevant theoretical foundation. Their understanding of biotechnology far surpasses ours, and we simply cannot decipher their creations,” an older researcher sighed.
“Let’s hope the incoming research vessels can provide some assistance,” another researcher said with cautious optimism.
These research vessels were equipped with the most advanced scientific instruments available. Constructed in response to feedback from the expeditionary fleet, they were purpose-built to tackle challenges like these. Transporting the precision instruments from the Riken homeworld to these vessels had been a monumental effort.
During earlier battles, the research vessels hadn’t accompanied the fleet, but now that the Riken had gained control of the battlefield, the Fleet Commander had urgently dispatched two vessels to the frontlines.
After several days of travel, they were just a few hours away from arriving.
Compared to the makeshift labs on the warships, the research vessels boasted far superior facilities.
“It’s doubtful they’ll help much. What’s limiting us isn’t the instruments,” the older researcher said, pointing to his own head. “The limitation lies here.”
