gollark: Are you just meant to have a basement operation doing highly advanced chemical synthesis or something for, say, new drug testing?
gollark: Also, many modern discoveries are basically impossible without stuff like "laboratories" and "full-time scientists" and supply chains providing the stuff they need.

gollark: Consider a silicon fab, which is used to make computer chips we need. That requires billions of $ in capital and thousands of people and probably millions more in supply chains.
gollark: Also, what do you mean "so what"? Technological progress directly affects standards of living.
