Yes. Even a baseline Pak Protector was so intelligent that he could, simply by examining the engine of Brennan's ship for an hour or two, reach the point where he could have duplicated it if he had had the necessary raw materials. That's _enormously_ greater than human intelligence.

Of course, that's not as impressive as the magic drive the original Pak used to come to the Solar System in the first place...
