As part of his tour of the Advanced Technology Warfare Development Center he visits the biological laboratory.
Here they are trying to develop larger animals that can serve as food, and materials, particularly in times of shortage or blockade. Here there are testing using locusts intending not to use locusts for food, but rather as a test bed for cattle, pigs, and chickens. The intention is to transfer the technology to develop giant domestic animals.
The locust life cycle is very fast so that multiple generations can be produced in a short period of time. The massive computer power is used to predict results and those growth results are compared to the actual locust.
Mr. Vice President is very satisfied with the work but wonders about the security.
The scientists wear their white uniforms and the military guards wear their military uniforms. Mr. Vice President is reassured that there are several hundred armed troops on the facility and at least 100 on duty 24/7 in case of emergency.
