His tone revealed a clear sense of longing, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Mm-hmm."
Chen Ming responded ambiguously and asked, "So, you've been spending the past few years searching for suitable creatures?"
"Yes, these past few years have basically been all about this. The majority of our funding has been invested here. We heard that someone you collaborate with possesses very advanced biotechnology, and we wanted to reach out to him but we don't have your or his contact information."
"It wasn't until you reached out to us that we saw this opportunity."
Chen Ming shook his head slightly and asked, "Why are you so persistent about this? You should know that the Empire doesn't lack habitable planets. The universe is vast, and there are still many habitable planets waiting for the Empire to discover."
"This technology has no real prospects."
The minister seemed to detect a hint of rejection in Chen Ming's words and felt somewhat uncontrollably disappointed.
