The incubators - requirements
 they get ovaries and sperms from contributors
 check: optimum temperature,salinity,viscosity
 ripened eggs are detached from the ovaries and
are kept in liquor
 eggs at blood heat, sperms at 35°C
 eggs are controlled under microscope

abnormalities, counting
The incubators - fertilizing





putting of eggs into a porous bin
bin in warm liquor with free-swimming spermatozoa,
(100000/cm³)
ten minutes later lifting out of the liquor and checking of
there contents
if some were unfertilized, they would be lifted in again
fertilized ova is put back to the incubators
Alphas and Betas remain bottled until final filling,
Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are brought out again
after 36h to undergo Bokanovsky's Process
Bokanovsky’s Process
 slowing down the normal growth
 eggs respond by budding
 moving in test-tubes on moving band
 8 minutes under X-rays


a few eggs die
from two up to eight buds

eggs return to the incubators
“Every bud will grow into a perfectly formed
embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult“
The incubators – further procedure





two days cooling down and
checking
 Buds stop growing
result: From 2 over 4 up to
8 further buds
addition of nearly deadly
rate of alcohol
 further budding
left to develop in peace
(further arrest would be
generally fatal)
finally from 8 to 96
embryos could be produced

 amount and caste-membership of embryos is

Embryo Store
 appearance:

temperature tropical, red light
embryos feed on rich blood substitution
embryos are 267 days, 8 metre every day,
2136 metres in all on the moving band
The moving band
 every 7th and 8th metre

embryos are shaken into familiarity with movement
 every 12 metre until metre 2040

corpus luteum extract is automatically injected
 every 24th metre
 30% of the female embryos develop normally
 for the case of emergency
 other female embryos get a dose of male sex
hormones
 they are born as freemartins
112 m
artificial maternal circulation is installed in every bottle
200 m
test for sex is carried out  labelling - a "T" for the males
 a circle for the females,
 a question mark for the freemartins
320 m
rack 11
embryos get different amounts of oxygen
 the lower the caste the shorter the oxygen
170 m
rack 9
during their journey bottles remain in a kind of tunnel
 hot and cool tunnels alternate
 “Heat Conditioning”: use of hard X-rays to create uncomfortable
coolness
-> prospective tropical workers have a horror of cold
150 m
gelatinous contents are injected against typhoid and sleeping sickness
 for tropical workers
rack 10
rows of the next generations' chemical workers are being trained in the
toleration of lead, caustic soda, tar, chlorine

embryonic rocket-plane engineers are kept in constant rotation to
improve their sense of balance

increasing doses of pituitary is applied
 After 267 days, babies are decanted in the Decanting Room
Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning Rooms
1. applied when babies are at the age of eight-months
2. babies are turned so that they can see the flowers and books

Pleasure
3. when they are happily busy

electric shock level I is activated
4. the children scream

electric shock level II is activated

insane, desperate screaming
After 200 repetitions of the same lesson instinctive hatred of books and flowers is created

reflexes unalterably conditioned
