"An innovation refers to a fundamental update to an old product or the creation of a fundamentally new one. Megapolis's scientists have offered to start developing a search engine that will work with images rather than words. This is currently one of the more pressing problems in search engine functionality. "The residents beg the mayor: Create in image-based search engine "We need to build a center for innovative technologies, a University of Information Technologies, and a system testing office. Specialists will create the development environment and invent an innovative system, and the mayor will present it to the public!" |
Requirements
- None
TIP Depending on how one plays the game, this quest may require approximately 410 total (for assets) and 495,000 (for building and foundation purchases) to complete fully. |
