"Is that so?"
The coldness on Yang Yu's face did not recede much as he said, "You'd better think this through carefully. If your Gene Technology has no support from Mainstream Technology, how will you develop it?"
"Are you trying to abandon the fundamentals for superficial gains?"
"Will that work?"
"Your Biological Gene Research Institute has taken all the resources. How do you expect the other institutes to have enough resources for research?"
"You need to understand one thing."
"The resources of our empire are not unlimited. They are finite."
"How many years will the resources on the surrounding planets be enough for us to mine?"
"According to official statistics, given the empire's current rate of development, the resources on the surrounding planets will at most last us less than ten thousand years."

"If you truly want to use the empire's resources to develop biological gene technology, that would absolutely be a betrayal of the empire."
"We should build up the Technology Tree first, then the gene tree."
"At the very least, we should wait until our warships, transport ships, Mining Spaceships, industrial motherships, and the like can leave the Solar System before thinking about your biological gene studies."
"I know you want to bring biological gene studies to their peak and grant the empire's people long lives, or even immortality."
"But that comes with a prerequisite."
"Understood."
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, Academician Li Muyao nodded.
"You may leave for now!"
After Li Muyao left, Yang Yu shook his head helplessly.
Did she really think he did not want to develop gene technology?
He had to
