Your Tech Advisor will give you a new technology Module for each day that you log in. Play the game every day and collect more Modules to begin Research on some of the more advanced Technologies. You can also receive Modules from your friends as gifts, and send them Modules as well (max 2 per day). The more often you play the game, the more Modules you can exchange. You can also exchange Modules at the Trade Gateway. Be advised: your Tech Advisor will NOT always send the Module you need for the Technology you want. You may have to trade for Modules you're missing with other players in order to progress through the game faster.
