La technologie-clé qui ouvre tout l'arbre.
Accélère toute la recherche de 2,5 % par niveau et ouvre les grandes branches propulsion, armement et énergie.
La Technologie énergétique est à la fois un carrefour de dépendances et un multiplicateur permanent de vitesse de recherche. Les premiers niveaux ouvrent des branches entières ; les suivants raccourcissent chaque projet futur.
Les réacteurs à combustion et à impulsion, le Réacteur à fusion, les chaînes laser et plasma, la recherche hyperespace et graviton.
⚡ Prérequis pour les vaisseaux, défenses et recherches avancés.
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.
