Turn many laboratories into one program.
Adds 12% research speed per level by linking advanced laboratories across the empire.
The Intergalactic Research Network scales the pace of every later project. Its high entry cost pays back over a long sequence of expensive research.
Faster late-game research and value from high-level laboratory infrastructure.
🛰 Research speed and multi-lab bonuses.
Research time depends on the Research Laboratory level, the Intergalactic Research Network and the universe speed.
Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.
