# 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).
