Several sophisticated instruments emitted a faint blue light, surrounding Ayland.

Dean Tynes of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and Minister Herbert of the Imperial Medical Department personally operated the equipment, their expressions gradually shifting from initial serious skepticism to disbelief.

When the final data graph was displayed on the screen, a suppressed gasp filled the room.

"This...how is this possible?"

Minister Herbert stared intently at the screen displaying the level of mental activity; his voice was hoarse.

"The collapsed mental state... is actually showing signs of reversal?!"

Dean Tynes adjusted his glasses, which had slipped down his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses were filled with excitement:

"The data doesn't lie... This defies all existing theories! Lord Lin Luo, how exactly did you do this?"

He turned sharply to Lin Luo, his tone urgent, "Could it be that you... have achieved a deep spiritual connection with Major General Ailand?"

But he immediately contradicted himself:

"No, that's not right! Even if a Grade A male insect were willing to mate with it with all its might, there's absolutely no way it could produce such a... 'resurrection' effect in the face of such utter collapse!"

"If the collapse of the spiritual sea could be reversed so easily, the Empire wouldn't have so many elite female soldiers forced to retire every year!"

The members of his research team behind him looked at each other, whispering among themselves, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.

Just then, Dr. Parks walked in carrying his instrument case and was immediately surrounded by the two bigwigs and their team.

"Parker! What method did you use?" Minister Herbert asked first, his tone filled with doubt and urgency.

Faced with numerous questioning glances, Dr. Parks calmly laid out his prepared explanation.

This includes his hypothetical "gentle guidance theory," "spiritual sea resonance hypothesis," and a series of "treatment plans" that sound quite professional but lack solid theoretical support and reproducible experimental data upon closer examination.

Tynes and Herbert, as leading experts in the field, frowned more and more as they listened.

Herbert couldn't help but interrupt:

"Parks, based on existing psychomechanical models, the methods you've described are theoretically incapable of producing any real results! It's completely futile!"

Parks remained expressionless and simply responded calmly:

"But the fact is, the major general's situation is indeed improving. Perhaps the existing theoretical models are not entirely applicable to such extreme cases."

This failed to convince the experts present, but they also couldn't explain the undeniable facts before them—those damned, illogical signs of improvement!

Minister Herbert took a deep breath, turned to the silent Lin Luo beside him, and adopted a more respectful tone:

"Lord Linluo, if I may ask again, did you... perform any mental reassurance on Major General Ailand?"

"Or rather, have you sensed that your mental power has had some kind of special influence on the Major General?"

A slight alarm bell rang in Lin Luo's mind, but he remained calm on the surface and asked in return:

"Minister Herbert, Dean Tynes just said that even with the male insect's coaxing, there won't be any noticeable effect."

Herbert paused. "Yes, theoretically, for ordinary mental trauma or instability, Your Excellency's soothing treatment is indeed very effective, but in Major General Eland's case..."

"However, perhaps you inadvertently helped Major General Ailand?"

Herbert lacked confidence.

Lin Luo, worried about revealing the special nature of his mental power, firmly denied it:

"I did not perform the kind of 'spiritual reassurance' you are talking about on him."

This is not entirely a lie; his ability is indeed different from the Zerg's understanding of "pacification."

"I understand, thank you for your cooperation." Dean Tynes, on behalf of the team, bowed respectfully to Lin Luo.

"Today's test data is of great research value. Please allow us to take it back for analysis. We will not disturb you any longer."

Filled with doubts and confronted with the mind-blowing test report, Tynes and Herbert led their team away from the mansion in a silent, incredulous silence.

Dr. Parks watched them leave, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. He exchanged a glance with Lin Luo, both understanding each other without saying a word.

Breaking News! Imperial Officials Confirm Major General Ailand's Mental State Has Improved.

[Joint Statement from the Imperial Academy of Sciences & the Imperial Medical Department]

Today's joint testing of Major General Ailand showed that his mental breakdown has been effectively contained and there are clear signs of improvement.

The specific cause is still under investigation, and we will continue to monitor and support the Major General's recovery process.

"As a female soldier who just rotated back from the RX-7 star system, my hands were shaking when I saw this news. Many of our comrades didn't die on the battlefield, but in the rear hospitals where their morale collapsed!"

"We urge the Empire to dedicate its full resources to this research! If this can become a widely applicable treatment, the casualty rate on the front lines could be reduced by at least 30%!"

"Today, all the military canteens are spontaneously celebrating, for the Major General, and for the future of every female soldier."

……

Hotly debated in academic circles:

[Has research on the spiritual sea achieved a historic breakthrough?]

"As a scholar who has studied trauma for twenty years, this case will rewrite textbooks. I look forward to the official release of detailed data as soon as possible!"

"So Dr. Parks' 'ineffective therapy' is actually effective? The medical community should re-examine non-mainstream treatment options."

"Have you heard? The Major General has a chance of waking up!"

"I knew the Major General would pull through! I knew it when he led us through the ion storm on the battlefield!"

"Once the Rear Admiral returns, the Seventh Fleet will be keeping those envious guys up at night again!"

The StarNet was filled with jubilation, as if Victory Day had arrived ahead of schedule, with anticipation and hope surging in every corner.

"Ayland," Lin Luo said softly, taking Ayland's hand in his, "to show you how much everyone misses you."

He reached out his finger and lightly tapped the edge of the terminal, instantly dispelling the privacy mode glow that enveloped the screen.

The next second, countless words shining with excitement and blessings, rapidly scrolling comments, and bright red markers symbolizing extreme popularity filled the entire screen, illuminating the room with flickering light.

[Major General, wake up soon! We're waiting for you!]

【Loran Forever!】

This is the hope of all female soldiers!

You must get better!

……

The fervent, vibrant noise seemed to leap off the screen and overwhelm me.

"Did you see that?" Lin Luo lowered her head, a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes were burning.

"It's not just me waiting for you; there are countless insects waiting for you to come back."

He stretched out his other hand and lightly tapped the scrolling comments with his fingertips:

"Look, these are the female soldiers on the front lines cheering for you... these are the audience members who saw your movie giving their blessings... and these, aren't they your old comrades? They say that when you come back, the Seventh Fleet will be able to regain its former glory..."

He talked on and on, telling Ailand about the overwhelming goodwill and expectations on the StarNet.

Ailand did indeed see it, "saw" the prayer as brilliant as a galaxy, and felt the tenderness and appreciation in Lin Luo's voice.

At this moment, hope becomes so concrete and bright.
