Space Fortress Laboratory.
Rows of instruments stood neatly arranged, while White Coats worked diligently.
After looking around, Wenren Sheng noticed an important detail—the fortress was breaking free of its Black Box state. It was integrating the knowledge and research processes of the real world.
It was no longer like an anime setting, where the protagonist said they would research something and, after some time, simply produced some result or other.
Instead, they were following concrete procedures, drawing closer to the research processes of the real world...
A researcher who looked like a key technical staff member explained to Wenren Sheng, "We've used all kinds of known methods to analyze the substances on the giants, such as extraction, separation, spectroscopy... but none of them identified what they actually are. Due to technical limitations, we can only put the matter aside for now."

"I understand. We just need to wait longer, right?" Wenren Sheng said casually.
"Yes, yes, exactly. Teacher Wen really is patient, unlike those people who hound us every day. This is a problem that can only be solved at least twenty years from now." The researcher looked as though he had found a kindred spirit.
