Having successfully completed the third generation of silkworms in mid-November, the Company continues to grow the size and strength of its silkworm colony as it presses forward with continuous production operations. Since transitioning all of its operations to this campus, in August of this year, the Company has increased the size of each successive production run and has seen a significant improvement in production yields.
Announcement was the 4th production update in December
Doesn't say doubled but does say each run was larger than the previous.
that is the pic of the old facility
Are they talking about the whole plot of land and the bldg or just the bldg?
The interesting development is that prodigy registered a representative office in lam dong last month.
Female scientist not named.
Don't worry about Ana,she is doing great work at kblb
Exactly what I have been waiting for to get US production started.
Good work on the patent explanation gt.
Also the ND patent application CHIMERIC SPIDER SILK AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
I expect this patent to be granted this quarter.
I feel kt is trying to align this granting with prodigy production news.

Quang Nam has no community cases for 8 consecutive days
(QNO) - On September 30, Quang Nam Province's Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control said that no Covid-19 cases were recorded on the day.
Thus, this is the 8th day in a row, Quang Nam has not recorded new cases in the community.
September 22, Quang Nam has injected 249,559 doses of vaccine, of which the total number of 1st doses is 121,648, 2nd dose is 1st dose. 68,163. The proportion of people aged 18 and over who received at least one injection was 23.35% .
September 22
Quang Nam reports zero covid cases.
this is the correct patent.
kim thompson and kraig biocraft are mentioned in the application along with patent family data.
Truth provided a link that shows the patent has been applied for
When it comes to a conflict between something that someone on the internet says vs an official SEC document posted by KBLB itself, I will side with the SEC document EVERY TIME.
For those wondering what area the factory is,it is in the traditional sericulture village of Duy Trinh, Duy Xuyen,Quang Nam
like i said a few weeks ago
"(and kim,if you haven't bought them yet,get 5,i can even introduce the guy that can sell them to you.)"
$400 bucks each
Less mystery more explanation would be wonderful information in a PR.
kim genetically manipulated some (or all of them?) worms to have glowing eyes for some reason i cant remember...i thought it was a genetic marker of some kind having to do with quality...
i should think it possible that some form of genetic modification could be made to easily identify male worms or pupa or whatever...
maybe kandy kane could come up with.......no wait...hes gone...apparently was no longer needed...never mind...
that means this isnt new
kim has known this for a very long time
any idea why kim would choose to wait until month 8 of production to decide to send the machinery to prodigy?
i'm going to pass on some thoughts
silkworm cocoon automatic identification machine
the bottleneck that i think is the main problem is sex identification of the chrysalises.
It is very labor intensive and requires skill.
i read that one of the largest breeders in china would need 1000 workers to identify sex in their factory and there isn't enough skilled workers to do it anyway.
commercial production requires automation to not only reduce labor,but also is more accurate than human labor and less chance of damage.
the same for mating with the best performers.
testing and mating the best is not unique to kbl when breeding.
all mundane silk threads are tested and graded.kbl is no different.
the accuracy of sexing silkworm chrysalises is directly related to silkworm eggs' quality and purity of their breeds. According to data provided by the Zhejiang silkworm quality quarantine inspection station concerning the average hybrid rate 80 to 100 times per year from 2005 to 2016, considerable decline exists, falling from the highest 99.66% to the lowest 98.65%. The decline of the hybrid rate will directly influence the quality of silkworm eggs, the production of silkworm chrysalises and the quality of silk.
Was the most expensive mulberry in history.
12 grand a year for less than a ha of mulberry produced per year.
In January 2021 kbl finally withdrew their application for silkworm transfer to Texas.
Question is what results has the biological engineer had with her non mulberry diet silkworms in relation to USA production in the future.
To get out of the lab and use the factory space like a mass production facility.Yes they do
To get the factory running at maximum production .
NO they don't.
This May/June harvest will be their largest.
They need to suceed during this production to ensure more mulberry plantings for September/October.
"Wow, something must be percolating... "
Prodigy is in the middle of the factory expansion phase.
OUTSIDE OF THE LAB SPACE
Speaking of false
You have a pinned post that reads
We plan on patenting our provisional patents before they expire in May 2020. Oops
Yes,false info
Got a feeling that was a very limited test run,testing mulberry from different sections of farmland.
Either way news should be ready one way or the other.
Question is how many cocoons?
I believe they signed a mou with kbl at the June 17 2019 signing ceremony in Da Nang.
And around 3 years ago Kenneth Le was wearing the Spydasilk logo .
Through all this, It's the actions of Kenneth Le that are worth following the last few years
Accumulating stock and warrants while only receiving 60k a year as president of prodigy
And now King's group officially getting in on the action.
He has monouvered his way to the forefront of spidersilk.
Looking at the dollar amounts each year it falls in line with my mulberry planting expectations over the next few years.
I'm looking for around 36 ha available next year and 86ha by 2023.
If they beat that timeline then that is a bonus.
The question is what percentage of production are they getting.
Also,it seems most believe they are now getting the first delivery.
What would be the reaction if it still ends up being polartec,with orders for more?
Think I remember king's def posting about a future update on spydasilk in October 2020.
As you know,they also have the king's def group.So I would expect either ds.2 or the pure version when available.
I'm guessing ms being used in multi fabric components
"MtheMovement is an important cog for Kenneth Le and KBLB. They will start promoting the first ever mass produced spider silk. See nothing wrong with letting the world know and this being a first step down that path"
It's funny how some will love that bolt and spiber announce partnerships well before mass producing and it is wonderful.
Yet kbl does while mass production starts,and it's met with meh.
Lol
Also
Upon commencement, and as consideration for the exclusive sales agreement, MK will issue to KBLB a prepayment of $250,000 to be credited to the first shipment of spidersilk thread.
From today's 8k, professor posted the link
Commit to the purchase of material produced by KBLB to the amount of USD$3,000,000 (USD Three Million) in the first year from this SPA, USD$5,000,000 (USD Five Million) in the second year from this SPA, USD$12,000,000 (USD Twelve Million) in the third year from this SPA, and a commitment of USD$12,000,000 (USD Twelve Million) and projected purchase of USD$20,000,000 (USD Twenty Million) in the fourth year of this SPA;
I believe he meant to say polartec not M.
I was referring to polartec in my reply
My name is Simplicio Michael Luis Asis Herrera (known as 'M'), currently living in Los Angeles.

Is it possible they have been given some sort of access to the new pure dragon silk and are focusing their efforts for that strain when released for mass production.
As far as farmers in vietnam go,for a 100ha of mulberry to produce 40 tons of silk it will cost no more than 50k a year,and that is at a premium.
Obviously there are factory expenses and so forth,the same domestic.
We are now 11 months since kbl announced a breakthrough, which was later reveiled as pure spider silk.
Only 11 months away from 2022 and kbl will need a new home for this production.
Will it be on the texas property and a facility built or will it be somewhere else.
Would be nice if they could hit on a early 2022 timeline. Instead of 2023 and beyond.
Good to see some old names posting on here again.
