I thought we were assuming that they didn't have normal gunpowder at all, but rather all their firearms use dust as at least a propellant. That said they do need an advanced understanding of chemistry for their modern materials. The better the metal, the better the weapon.

If we're bringing up what the energy business needs to develop, how about neuclear power? It has its flaws, but people have made improvements. We in the US already rely on nuclear power more thany one else, and those old reactors (all of them) need to be replaced.
