There was no need to question it anymore.
The data had already proven reality.
After all, no matter what, ship girls were essentially data-based existences.
Their evolution itself came through repeated modifications, repeated level-ups, and repeated Wisdom Awakenings.
As long as they kept accumulating progress, they would succeed!
And then...
The biggest problem with the Herrscher Project was that you never knew when you might get stuck halfway for some reason. Maybe your aptitude was insufficient, maybe the conditions were lacking, maybe your comprehension was inadequate, or perhaps you simply were not fated for it.
But ship girls did not need to worry about that.

Although the Herrscher transformation had not officially begun yet,

The Research Section was discussing the matter as well. It was an extremely hot topic.
