# Scientist A Scientist is a citizen who has a [Scientist Certificate](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/badges/scientist-diploma.md). Scientists are great minds who are responsible for the continuous upgrade of the mines. In addition, scientists are able to improve the work processes in the [Factories](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/factory.md), which increases the efficiency of the latter for a while. The probability of a new Scientist appearing is higher as more equipment is produced by Factory and the more it is technologically advanced. * The Scientist Certificate allows the player to create NFTs, which enable the [Mine ](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/mine.md)next-level transition upgrade. * The scientist can upgrade mine equipment by level. * To become a Scientist, the player needs to collect nine pages of a [Scientist diploma](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/badges/scientists-diploma-page.md) and exchange them for a Scientist Certificate in the governmental facility. * Pages of a Scientist diploma can be found in the equipment packs, which are produced by [Factories](/deepmine/deepmine-gaming-nfts/factory.md). The chance of producing a pack with a diploma page inside is higher with each factory level upgrade. * Scientists spend DMP/DME to produce [upgrades](/deepmine/deepmine-game-mechanics/upgrades.md). ![](/files/-MhJslhT4kTo6_r4xPdP) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
