Many people used to think scientific research was the work of a handful of geniuses.
But Great Xia was no longer like that.
As the technology tree expanded wildly, the talent shortage would multiply along with it.
If Great Xia wanted to become an interstellar civilization, it could not rely on a handful of scientists to drag the entire civilization forward.
Everyone had to keep up.
