Science without Science packs?

[Semaphor]

I'm toying around with the idea of removing the need for science packs. I'd like the Lab to progress science forward using electricity only (and time). Is this possible or is the science pack requirement hard-coded in the game?

creative mode mod has a lab like that. it fills itself with lab packs.
doesn't require electricity. or maybe it generates it's own? dunno.
