"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."
this is what i was going to find but sickzone found it first...
at any rate....
"Did I miss where each of the first five generations doubled in quantity?"
yes...in my scenarios i start with ONE kilo...doubling it would make TWO...doubling that would make FOUR...etc...
that would be childs play for the Michigan lab...but in a facility that is designed to produce tonnage, we dont think they can get beyond a handful of kilos?...seriously??...
the "testing" at prodigy has to do with assuring they can produce mass quantities of silk with sufficient quality...thats what they have been doing...kim stated he would do so "judiciously"....so we can assume they started out small...and then built up from there to ensure things were going as expected...
the idea that they kept making one or two kilos over and over makes no sense.....how does that test the ability to mass produce?...
"But since they just announced in the same PR with the sixth generation that, "the laboratory team has dramatically increased the testing throughput."
i dont know why "dramatically increased the testing throughput" has to mean previous generations were minute?...1 2 4 8 16...16 kilos after 5 generations?....while trying to test mass production capabilities in a facility built for tonnage??.....can it go ANY slower or be any smaller?....
and for the record, i do not believe they started at 1 kilo...and i have no idea if they doubled consistently....but imo, they could have VERY easily done so...also imo, im fairly certain the 6th gen is in the hundreds of kilo range...and likely the high hundreds...
"That makes sense since they had not yet increased their testing to where they wanted it. "
they want their testing to be at tonnage...and they arent going to make 2 kilos for 5 generations and then suddenly jump to tonnage...makes no sense...
the 5th gen was where they used all their new equipment...the Michigan lab people were already familiar with it...their Vietnamese counterparts had been trained....
the big daddy scientist and lab guys from the Michigan lab went to Vietnam to use and test the new equipment alongside the prodigy workers...
do you think they went there to produce 2 kilos worth?...if you want to test new equipment and procedures in a mass production facility, do you think 2 kilos would do it?...
"That would put the sixth generation at ten pounds, assuming the lowest estimate."
so ten times the 5th gen means that the 5th gen was one pound?...
the lab guys from Michigan went to Vietnam to test mass production equipment and procedures by making one pound?...
COME ON MAN!
