with infinite research (60 time display on all reaserch), how many lab can i put on the row like that when i got some science pack on half a red belt , each lab got 2 prod module and are surrounded by 8 beacon 2 speed3 module?

Mouse over the lab, it should say +1545%. So it consumes (1 + 15.45) / 60 = 0.274 packs per second.

Half a red belt carries 15 items per second, so it can feed 15 / 0.274 = 54.7 labs.

I found this useful calculator:

15 packs per second with 8 beacons is 55 labs
