1. I thought C++ - style comments are not encouraged
2. You compute numparenttech dynamically.  How about doing it once and
for all and recording it in struct advance?
3. I remember someone mentioning research_leakage variable or something
like this...  I cannot find it but maybe I am not looking well.
4. Will AI understand the new tech costs?
