Chapter 311 - 5: Research Institute and Academy
For the most part, research work involved searching for relevant materials in the Wisdom Library and analyzing them to advance development.
Moreover, the research institute didn’t have its own dedicated space; it had always been borrowing the reading area of the Wisdom Library.
As a result, this institute wasn’t actually recognized by the system and had no research bonuses. In other words, it was worse than even the lowest-tier research institute building.
Now that the researchers had moved into a proper institute, the territory’s research was finally on the right track.
However, after observing for a while, Lin Yu discovered a new problem.
The institute was a great help to research, and the territory’s R&D progress had accelerated significantly compared to before.
But the institute wasn’t being fully utilized; many of its facilities were often left unused.
Furthermore, after the researchers were spread out among the four institutes, they could take on more projects, but each project had very few personnel.
In short, they were lacking researchers.
Lin Chenxi, within the territory, had also realized this problem. She gathered many intelligent individuals from various groups of citizens and sent them to the institutes.
Unlike the initial ragtag team, these newcomers couldn’t just jump in as researchers. They first had to serve as research assistants, and only the most outstanding among them would be selected and appointed as new researchers.
However, this selection process was heavily dependent on the citizens’ innate talent. After all, most of them had never been exposed to scientific research before becoming assistants and had to start from scratch.
’This won’t do. Naturally talented people are a minority. I need to improve the training system for research personnel. Let me take another look and see if there’s a suitable building!’
Realizing the territory’s problem, Lin Yu once again rummaged through the points mall and actually managed to find a suitable building—the Spiritual Power and Comprehensive Science College.
-----------------
[Name]: Spiritual Power and Comprehensive Science College
[Category]: General-Purpose Educational Building
[Grade]: Legendary (Gold)
[Durability]: 1,000,000 (One Million)
[Description]: A highly comprehensive and diversified educational and research institution. It is a large, integrated college that covers theories and applications related to Spiritual Energy, as well as a wide range of general knowledge. It can not only cultivate future Spiritual Energy experts but also promote the application and development of Spiritual Energy in various scientific fields.
[Building Structure]: Main Building, Academic Building, Research Building, Library, Practical Training Center, Botanical Garden, Dormitory, Sports Complex
[Functional Buildings]: Spiritual Resonance Room, Spiritual Ability Simulation Room, Spiritual Healing Room, Spiritual Ability Detection Center, Spiritual Energy and Plant Interaction Room, Physics Laboratory, Chemistry Laboratory, Biology Laboratory, Mechanical Laboratory, Materials Laboratory
[Curriculum Design]: Basic Courses (including Spiritual Energy Theory, Fundamentals of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, Computer Science, Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering, Fundamentals of Biology, etc.), Advanced Courses (Advanced Spiritual Energy Techniques, Physics Experimentation Techniques, Chemical Synthesis Techniques, Biotechnology, Mechanical Design and Manufacturing, etc.), Interdisciplinary Courses (Integration of Spiritual Energy and Physics, Application of Spiritual Energy in Biology, Fusion of Spiritual Energy and Mechanical Engineering, etc.), Practical Courses (Spiritual Energy Simulation Training, Physics Experiments, Chemical Synthesis, Biological Experiments, Mechanical Design, etc.), Project-Based Research
[Activities]: Spiritual Energy Rituals, Science Exhibitions, Spiritual Energy and Science Practice Camps, Academic Competitions
[Safety Measures]: Physical Security, Information Security, Spiritual Energy and Magic Wards, Laboratory Safety
[Building Bonuses]:
+10% probability of finding the correct direction in all experiments
+100% learning efficiency
+100% teaching effectiveness
[Special Abilities]: Expansion, Joint Project Development
Expansion: Incorporate education- and research-related buildings into the college as functional structures. The bonus effects of each functional building remain independent, but all benefit from the college’s bonuses.
Joint Development: When a project can be researched in different functional buildings, a joint development project can be established. This project benefits from the bonuses of all involved functional buildings (the effects stack).
