How would RuptureFarms make profit turning just 100 Mudokons into Mudokons Pops? How would it run without workers?
Molluck’s plan wasn’t necessarily to turn the entire workforce into meat products in one go. An L.E.D. screen message says that RuptureFarms has a high number of work‐related accidents,97 and although these are probably not all Mudokon fatalities, the impression is that the factory has a high Mudokon turnover anyway, constantly bringing in new slaves to replace the old, the killed, the escaped, and the disabled. It even has its own nursery for hatching Mudokons from Labor Eggs.5: ‘Birthplace’ Buying unborn Mudokons, raising them as slaves, then giving them ‘early retirement’ would still turn a net profit. Any reduction in the plant’s workforce could be compensated for by mechanization, or working the Mudokons harder: they wouldn’t have to last as long, after all!
