Along the shores of Water Caltrop Lake Wetland Park stood Dawn City's Seventh Research Institute, under the Scientific Expedition Corps.
This was a specialized research institution established by the Scientific Expedition Corps for projects related to "Alpha Centauri and the Pioneer Civilization." It had only officially begun operations at the start of the month and had a staff of 227.
By wasteland standards, that was already quite a sizable number, especially for a newly established research institution with few projects.
Not only was it well staffed and generously funded, its senior researchers were also among the finest in The Alliance's scientific research system.
For example, Director Dai Huaian was thirty-five years old and came from Vault 276. His field was high-energy physics, and he had once served as a professor at Camp 101 for a time.
Later, recommended by Dr. Method, he joined The Alliance's Scientific Expedition Corps and held important positions at related research institutions. Both his abilities and credentials could be described as outstanding.
There was also the physicist Yarik from Vault 337, as well as former F-rank explorer Lin Dong from the Wandering Swamp Science Committee, among others.
Although these researchers' resumes were somewhat thinner than Director Dai's, their knowledge and abilities were no less impressive. They even surpassed him in certain specialized fields, making them true professionals.
At present, only The Alliance and the Academy showed a strong interest in high-energy physics, this "science of the future" with low short-term economic returns.
And if willingness to spend money and the ability to spend money were added to the equation, then only The Alliance seemed to remain.
Combined with The Alliance's reputation beyond its borders, it hardly even needed to recruit deliberately. Talents who were useless elsewhere came knocking on its door of their own accord, all
