A nice and decent part, some growth!... well :P

Chapter 2, part 3. The projects.

Vivian took us to the first and foremost project she wanted to show them before heading to some of them they passed along the way. Questions started arising from us, but she wanted to show us this very project first before coming back to these others.

After a few minutes walking through the halls, we arrived at some sort of medical arranged lab room. Vials of liquids everywhere, microscopes etcetera. Standing in front of the doors we entered a disinfectant chamber, getting us blasted by some sudden air stream.

"What the..." I acted surprised.
"Oh, it's something we made last year. It cleans you really, really fast of any contaminants to the expiriments here." Viv explained.
"That's cool!"

The next set of sliding doors opened. Another 2 catgirls were working here! Along with a guy.

"Oh Hi, Vivian!" One of the black haired catgirls greeted us first. An asian catgirl. Pretty much flat chested and about 2 inches taller than my very own girlfriends at 4'9". Still looking no day older than 18. Darn it was hard to tell the age of catgirls! While my girlfriends acted pretty much playful. I got the impression from this one of a more mature one. She definitely was a lot older. Maybe in her 40's? I really couldn't tell.

"This is Miyuki" Vivian started out, Miyuki took an graceful bow to us.
"Alice! Hans! Come join us over here for a moment!" The other catgirl and Hans joined us too.
This girl was a quite a bit taller than most catgirls I've ever seen, 5'6"! Round D Cups, check! Blonde, check! Hourglass check! She was gorgeous. Elbowed in my sides by Esmeralda this time, check!
"Felix!" She sighed.
"Miyuki, Japanese huh?!" Sapphira went on.
"Hai, Ohayo! (Yes, Good morning!)" She spoke in her native language to greet us.
"Ohayo gosaimasu!" Sapphira spoke back. Ah yes, they picked up a few Japanese words I guess from watching all that anime throughout the years.
"Haha, no need to speak my language here. We're all speaking English here" Miyuki smiled.
"Bonjour!" Alice shyly spoke. My guesses from that was that she came from France.
"Guten morgen!" Hans almost shouted in german.

Getting the initial greetings done. We continued with what they were doing here.

"Why don't you take it Miyuki?" Vivian asked her.
"Ok!"

An hour later and a lot of talking through the stuff they did here. A short summary would be that they've been researching the cells and genes of catgirls. It turns out that when their cells multiply instead of creating a slightly more damaged cell a perfect copy was made. Making their aging process stop after being fully grown. A fountain of youth you might say, it might very well be true that they could live forever. Not only just that. Their healing process from wounds leaves them without any scars at all due to the nature of their cell multiplication.
By discovering this, they went on and are now trying to get the same cell multiplication working with regular human cells. This could lead to many possibilities. Regrowing lost limbs, repairing tissue damage. It surely was an interesting project and I could see why my girlfriends would be a major help in this one, being catgirls themselves.

"I hope, you'll come help us!" Miyuki waved us off for now. As we departed from the lab room off to the next.

The next one, we entered was a greenhouse like area. Lots of vegetable plants, tomatoes, potatoes, you name. It was here huge thick cables running over the ground towards the center of the room. With a table in the middle surrounded by dirty blast screens covered by pieces of tomatoes.

"Charge complete!" A male voice shouted.
"Test #867! Fire!" Another male voice shouted from the other side of the room.
"Quick, safety goggles" Vivian shouted as a machine started humming out. We quickly put the goggles over our eyes and flipped over the shades. Not knowing what happened we followed example of Vivian and stood behind one the of blast screens.
"Look up" She said.

From the high ceiling and a metal sphere device was pointed at the tomato sitting on the table. Glowing brighter from the energy it was gathering at the tip of it. Before finally with a bright blue flash followed by a sustained beam of energy. Rapidly the tomato starting growing. First it became twice it's size. then four times. Until at about 6 times, the tomato just exploded.

"Shit, another fail. What was the reading this time?"
"578% increase!"
"Again?"

Vivian clapped her hands,
"Wow, you guys at this level already? That's some nice progress there!"
"Ah Hello, Vivian!"


And the whole greeting routine went on again, this time meeting the brothers Peter and Tom.
They are trying to convert energy into mass here. After discovering that you could do it, al be it that you needed insane amounts of energy. It was quite an achievement. Surely the solar based energy generation along with the hydrogen fuel reserves we had in the country couldn't provide with enough power to fuel this type of thing? Then they showed us in a room adjacent to this they could breakdown any form of matter into huge amounts energy there. Sure it wasn't a very efficient and refined process yet. Requiring lots more matter than what was created back there. Not to say about the huge bank of capacitors. We thought they were walls at first. But it turns out they weren't. Showing us it in action it was like seeing fruits shrinking in size before completely disappearing from the table where their matter was extracted from.

Their intentions was to one day let our food supply be grown faster by the use of surpluses of energy we generated. Sure we solved our food shortages a long time ago. But it required still a lot of land and time to maintain. Using energy to grow our foods so we had more would be still welcome.

"Could it also create anything you would like?" Esmeralda extrapolated from the technology displayed.
"Not yet, we still need examples of matter to let it make the same of that". Tom replied.
"We still need lots of work, as you can see!" Peter

We passed a few labs where experiments with nanotechnology was being done and the very first useless moving nanites. It was quite funny seeing them making various shapes and forms with. There must've been thousands of these nanites used in these small forms the researchers let the nanites make.

In another, neural computer interfacing was in pretty advanced stages. Letting computer generated images directly streamed into your brains through a helmet. It was pretty awesome playing my favorite game for a while without actually having it on a monitor. Searching the internet by just thinking it and then immediately represented back certainly would speed up research processes. Allowing to access any information at all times from around the world.

"Ohh, you love these girlfriends of yours very deeply. huh?" Felicia, your stereotypical nerd with "I-have-been-watching-too-many-monitor-thick" glasses girl. Sitting behind a screen running a scan of my brains.
"Ofcourse I do, Hey, what you're doing?" I asked looking
"Nothing, just poking around in your recent thoughts."
"What?"
"Oh, Previous research project program I worked on before this. Basically, this neural interface works off the research I did. Interpreting your thoughts to understable machine interpretation. Sorry, I should've explained that before you would use it." She giggled.

Felicia was working alone on this project often making long nightly hours. Vivian told us after leaving her to do her research again.

The day had flown by as we passed a few more and were back outside the locker room again dressed back up as we came. Except for Sapphy and Esmy redone their hair into a ponytail with the ribbon they've gotten earlier

"So, Vivian, would you like to join us for dinner? We were planning going to this sushi restaurant we saw along the way here?" Esmeralda asked her.
"Mr. Miyagi's? Sure, I'd love to. I love sushi!" Vivian smiled. Esmeralda making a little jump of joy. I'm pretty sure they didn't just invite Vivian because she was really nice. But just to get to know her as a friend instead.

This time using a 4 person car. And as usual, with my arms around the shoulders. Their breasts pressed into my sides. Sapphy and Esmy were fawning all over me. Vivian sitting in front of us towards us. For her actually moving backwards as the car drove itself towards the restaurant.

"I've never seen catgirls being so affectionate ever. You must take really good care for them." Vivian talked to me.
"They're like gems, really precious to me. I couldn't have wished for any other."
"Haha, I can imagine." Vivian sulked a bit.
"What's wrong?" Sapphy asked.
"I wish, I would have a boyfriend like you girls. Loving and caring. But all I get is guys that are just not looking at me. But at my breasts. I know men are mentally attracted to these.".
"I can imagine..." Esmeralda comfortingly said.

Yea, right imagine. If I didn't knew my girlfriends better, they were imagining doing all kinds of things with Vivian right now. Inviting her going to a restaurant on the very first day, probably just to be able to stare at her magnificent bust. I knew I certainly didn't mind. And getting befriended with Vivian would certainly help someday.

Upon arriving at the restaurant a few minutes later. It was pretty full and without actually reserving a place it would be lucky if we could get something to eat here. Since there is no money around anymore restaurants had become pretty busy places. Though that you needed to keep things fair. You couldn't be eating at a restaurant every day. If everyone were to be doing that. There would be queue's all the time.

"Table for 4 please." Vivian said to the waiter, showing her citizen ID.
"All right, you're left with 1 visit for this month" He replied after scanning her ID.

We did the same thing too and took a seat at the table. Ordering some drinks Vivian started up the conversation again.

"So, what do you think? Where would you like to help first?" She asked.
"I can see some good promises on that cellular research. I mean if it actually could work. Repairing eye sight for the blind. Hearing, lost fingers or legs. Not even dying from old age anymore. That would be most beneficial thing. I mean, we learn by making mistakes and such. It's wasteful if every time with everyone growing up needs to do the same mistakes. Our population is big enough to sustain itself. And the more we can learn in our lifetime. The better off it is for us." I explained and while my girls sipped their sake a bit and agreed.
"I think they're very close into reproducing our cell mitosis by artificial means. We just need a method of applying it to actual living organism instead of a dish." Sapphy said.
"Wouldn't these nanites from the nanotechnology lab be able to help with that? I mean, if you let different researchers work together on solving each others problems..." Esmy questioned.
"Oh, yes! yes! See bringing you girls in brings new idea's" Vivian joyfully mentioned.

We had a great evening together, it turned out to get late near midnight. Visiting a bar after. Getting a bit drunk from all the alcohol we have had. Vivian was totally smashed having had so much fun barely able to walk.

"Hips! Plleasee car-ry Hips! mee-e" Vivian rested her torso on the shoulders of Sapphy and Esmy, her H cups breasts being flattened against the backs of them.
"Vivian! You're heavy." They complained, as they supported her walking to the car.

Dropping Vivian off by her house, making sure she arrived safely. We said our goodbyes and went home ourselves.
