Two hours later.
At the Anomaly Research Institute in Tianfu City, Insecticide Plan Command Center.
"Although we successfully retook Factory 105, this can hardly be called a victory." Yang Qi spoke gravely. "We lost a veteran hunter, along with every employee at Factory 105. The progress of Meme Reverse Engineering has also been delayed..."
"All I care about now is how long Factory 105 will take to resume operations," the military representative asked. "The losses already incurred cannot be recovered, but we cannot let those people's sacrifices be meaningless."
"We have only just finished clearing the factory grounds. Arrangements also need to be made for management staff, workers, and security personnel... Restarting the production lines will take at least four hours." Yang Qi answered.

"Then multiply the production lines for everything several times over. Use several times the output capacity to minimize the impact of any attacks... It's the only option we have." A young man wearing a Federation Council badge and an administrative jacket spoke. Judging by his face, he was no older than thirty. "The Federation Council will fully support the Insecticide Plan. We will do everything possible to meet your requests."
"We are already doing that." Yang Qi sighed. "But Sun Hang warned me before that there is only one irreplaceable link in the entire plan."
"Which link?" the young man immediately asked.
"The reverse engineering team... Those top talents in the field cannot have their value quantified in numbers. If anything goes wrong with
