I'm not seeing a way to get past S-Injection 1. My SPUs are maxed out at about 1e106, and there's no way to get them much higher. I'm not seeing any way to boost my Tree high enough to beat the S-Injection 1, so I'm unable to progress any further.
SPOILER:
All right, I was able to do it by activating these nodes: S1 S23 SY ST S22
...with balanced usage (33% Core, 33% RAM, 33% Tree)
The "Gain CPUs" button can raise your CPUs and Synthium high enough to beat the injection *even after* the initial ten seconds are over.
