I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#113 - Nie Ge's certified anti-chaos weapon

For more than a month, Li Nuo had been extremely busy.

Aside from logging in to receive the Miraculous Spores produced by Mad Doctor Zake, he barely had time to conduct Waaagh simulations.

After returning from the agent base, Ti Duo, worried about the planetary defense forces being infiltrated by rebels, hastily sought her father to discuss countermeasures.

Stealing a moment of leisure, Li Nuo came to the laboratory alone and entered the innermost suite.

This was his residence, complete with rooms for various purposes, from the bedroom and study to the kitchen and washroom.

Placing his residence inside a laboratory was probably something only a research fanatic like him could do.

The housekeeping mech Brandt continued to act as a live-in caretaker, helping him look after the laboratory and residence on weekdays, providing convenience for his daily life.

"Master, Leia called you half an hour ago. At that time, your data slate was in an area with no signal. I helped you answer it on your behalf."

The agent base blocked external communications.

It was normal for calls from the public network not to get through.

Li Nuo opened the communication recording and listened to it.

Leia was overjoyed after receiving the holographic device and made a special call to express her gratitude.

Other than that, there were no other important matters.

Li Nuo casually closed the communication recording and asked Brandt to prepare some drinks and fruit to be sent to the study.

After Brandt brought the drinks and fruit, Li Nuo locked the study door, opened the system interface, and checked the status of the save files.

【Remaining Simulation Points: 7605 points.】

【Universal Psionic Material: 35 / 312 portions.】

【Number of Miraculous Spores: 68.】

【Save File 1: Mad Doctor Zake.】

【Save File Briefing:】

【After defeating the Red Eyes Clan, the Steel Pennies Clan's technological level and personnel numbers have increased by leaps and bounds, becoming one of the most powerful Ork clans in the area.】

【Not long ago, they occupied a derelict spaceship wreckage with an almost overwhelming advantage.】

【Under the command of the clan leader Iron, the Steel Pennies Clan is concentrating its efforts on building a spaceship engine.】

【Two days ago, a plasma reactor manufactured by a Mek Boy experienced an explosion, injuring thousands of Orks.】

【The Steel Pennies Clan's combat power has declined to a certain extent, and scouts from other clans have appeared around the territory.】

【While ensuring the production of Miraculous Spores, Mad Doctor Zake has been ordered by Iron to participate in the rescue efforts.】

【Due to the doubling of the number of Squigs supplied to the Mad Doctor by the Ranch Boy, the production of Miraculous Spores has reached six per day. As of now, there are 30 Miraculous Spores waiting to be claimed.】

"The Steel Pennies Clan is advancing in technology so fast. Once they build the plasma reactor, the spaceship pieced together from scrap metal will be able to take off."

"The Steel Pennies Clan currently only has Mek Boys and lacks the guidance of a Big Mek. Was the explosion of their plasma reactor caused by the absence of a Big Mek?"

"The appearance of scouts from other clans around the territory is never a good thing. They might be attacked in the next few days, so I have to keep an eye on them."

Li Nuo rubbed his chin and opened the briefing for the second save file while pondering.

【Save File 2: Mek Boy Guga.】

【Save File Briefing:】

【The Ork Pirate Fleet has conducted three very Waaagh-like interstellar raids.】

【They have earned a great deal of money, with "gold and silver treasures" filling the ships, but they have also suffered great losses.】

【In the most recent raid, they encountered an Ark World that was being attacked by Black Tendrils.】

【While the pointy-ears of the Ark World were distracted by the Black Tendrils, the Ork Pirate Fleet looted a supply warehouse of the Ark World with lightning speed.】

【On the way to escape, the Ork Pirate Fleet was pursued by the pointy-ears and Black Tendrils. They sacrificed a ship to obtain enough loot to fill two spaceships.】

【The Ork Pirate Fleet is using the stolen loot to build new spaceships.】

【Mek Boy Guga is extremely busy with this.】

"Awesome, really awesome. Being ganged up on by the Black Tendrils and the Eldar of the Ark World, the Ork pirates actually escaped with the loot!"

Li Nuo clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling regret for missing such a grand Waaaagh.

The Eldar of the Ark World have a lot of advanced technology.

For example: Wraithbone.

This thing is essentially a crystallized form of warp energy that exists in the physical universe in solid form.

There is a unit in the Eldar called Bonesingers.

They can use psychic energy to shape Wraithbone, transforming it into various forms, such as weapons, armor, rooms, spaceship hulls and keels, and even engines.

Wraithbone is even more ridiculously hard than adamantium and can also self-repair.

Most importantly, it can spontaneously generate a layer of psychic shield, making things covered in Wraithbone immune to the effects of the warp.

Slaanesh was born in the Fall of the Eldar, causing a warp storm that killed countless Eldar.

The Eldar of the Ark World use Wraithbone to construct the outer shell and framework of the Ark World.

They were protected by Wraithbone, which is how they survived that disaster.

This shows how awesome Wraithbone is in resisting the warp, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is Slaanesh-certified.

Li Nuo thought that using Wraithbone to build the weapons and equipment of the Grot Statt would be amazing, directly maxing out the Chaos resistance.

"Hmm... the loot that the Ork pirates stole back should include Wraithbone, right? I have to go online and see what this material really looks like."

Li Nuo excitedly rubbed his hands, took a Miraculous Spore, put it in his mouth, and loaded Mek Boy's save file.

【Number of Miraculous Spores: 67.】

【Save File Loaded Successfully.】

Consciousness left the body and flew rapidly through the star sea.

A few breaths later, two Ork pirate ships appeared before his eyes.

The two ships were parked side by side, separated by a distance of three to four hundred meters.

Between the two ships was a simple engineering platform, where Grots and Mek Boys were building spaceships while wearing wasteland-style spacesuits.

Li Nuo's consciousness made a sharp turn in the air above the engineering platform, fell straight down, and plunged into Guga's body.

Opening his eyes, his face was covered by a spherical helmet like a diver's, and the air tank on his back was humming, constantly supplying sweat-smelling air to the helmet.

Noisy sounds poured into his ears through the gaps in the spacesuit.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Weld this shiny thing on!"

"Come and see the big boom-boom I made!"

"Idiot! Your boom-boom is too small! Look at mine! Big, thick, black! Boom-boom! Bang, hard!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and install the boom-boom for me!"

Li Nuo raised his hand and sealed the gaps on the spacesuit with his fingertips, and the sound in his ears suddenly became much quieter.

He moved his finger away, and the sound became louder.

Damn, what's going on?

There are gaps in the spacesuit, shouldn't the air in the spacesuit be sucked away by the vacuum environment?

But why is the spacesuit fine and not deflated?

Also.

Aren't I in space?

Why can I hear other people talking?

Li Nuo only felt incredible and couldn't help but look around.

Not far away, a glittering cylinder caught his eye, evoking Guga's memories and making Li Nuo suddenly realize.

That cylinder was beautifully styled, with varying depths of patterns on its surface, completely different from the style of the Ork ships.

After Li Nuo deeply searched Guga's memory, he learned that:

This cylinder was looted from the Eldar of the Ark World.

It can project a force field that operates in a vacuum environment, stably providing air and positive pressure to creatures within the force field.

Li Nuo didn't know what the Eldar of the Ark World called this thing, but among the Ork pirates, this thing was called "Air Stick."

The Orks working on the engineering platform didn't trust the Eldar's device, so even with the Air Stick providing air and positive pressure, they still wore spacesuits.

What material is this stick made of?

Could it be Wraithbone?

Li Nuo had an idea and aimed the Appraisal Technique at the cylinder.

【Appraisal Successful.】

【Name: Air Stick, Space Survival Force Field Generator.】

【Description:】

【An Ark World Eldar device made of Wraithbone by a Bonesinger.】

【It combines the characteristics of technology and psychic energy and can use electricity or psychic energy as energy.】

【The force field it generates can not only provide survival guarantee for personnel working in space, but also resist the invasion of the warp to a certain extent.】

It really is an Eldar device made of Wraithbone.

Li Nuo secretly pondered and activated his innate Ork Thinking Power.

I think, we Orks can also shape Wraithbone.

System message refreshed.

【Searching the gene knowledge base, searching for mechanical witchcraft that can solve the problem.】

【…】

【Search completed.】

【Search results: 1 item.】

"! ! !" Li Nuo's heart trembled, he didn't expect to be able to think of something useful.

He looked around, took the materials in his hand and walked aside, found a place where he would not be disturbed, and while welding iron sheets to the keel of the ship, he checked the search results.

【Name: Warp Crystal Hammering Guide.】

【Learning Cost: 100 skill points.】

【Description:】

【Forge warp crystals by hammering.】

【The tools, forging table and consumables required for this mechanical witchcraft are all made of universal psionic materials.】

【The Hammering Guide only includes hammering methods and does not include blueprints for hammering tools, forging tables, and consumables.】

Li Nuo continued to activate his Ork Thinking Power, thinking out and redeeming all the blueprints that came with the Hammering Technique.

【You spent 2000 points to redeem 200 skill points.】

【You spent 200 skill points to learn the following mechanical witchcraft:】

【1. Warp Crystal Hammering Guide.】

【2. Blueprint for Hammering Tool Set.】

【3. Blueprint for Forging Table.】

【4. Adhesive Production Configuration.】

【5. Cutting Fluid Blueprint.】

【Remaining Simulation Points: 5605 points.】

A large wave of points was spent, and the harvest was full.

Li Nuo flipped through the blueprints in his mind, a smile on his face.

Judging from the description of the blueprint, Wraithbone is a type of warp crystal, and there are some other types of warp crystals besides Wraithbone.

As long as it is a warp crystal, it can be shaped using this set of hammering techniques.

Taking spirit bones as an example, the process of forging this item does not require consuming universal psionic energy materials.

The only places where universal psionic energy materials are needed are in the creation of the forging platform, forging tools, and consumables.

Among them, the forging platform and forging tools can be used continuously as long as they are not damaged.

Only the forging consumables need to be replenished regularly with universal psionic energy materials.

Li Nuo made a rough estimate that processing 100 kilograms of spirit bones would require consuming 10 units of universal psionic energy materials to make consumables.

This expense is within an acceptable range.

Now there is only one problem, and that is how to obtain spirit bones.

Li Nuo rummaged through Guga's memories and was pleasantly surprised to find that the ship's hold contained tons of spirit bones.

Li Nuo's mind became active, planning how to get his hands on the spirit bones.

The Orc pirate fleet is all about freedom and looseness, with no fixed base, and the spatial coordinates of the fleet's current location are a mystery.

Even if I had the ability to organize a fleet to attack the Orc pirates, I wouldn't be able to find the exact location of this fleet.

A large batch of spirit bones is in front of me, but I can't get them, which is making Li Nuo very worried.

Spirit bones are made of crystallized subspace energy. They are not fungi, nor are they substances produced by fungi.

Storing them in the fungal warehouse is just wishful thinking.

How much Li Nuo wished that his fungal warehouse would evolve into a storage space where anything could be stuffed inside.

"It would be great if spirit bones were a kind of fungus. That way I could store them in the fungal warehouse and take them away... Hmm? Wait a minute?"

Li Nuo suddenly had a jolt, and a flash of lightning crossed his mind.

Subspace energy!

Spirit bones are crystallized subspace energy!

Subspace energy is not a fungus or a product of fungi... But!

Could fungi that feed on subspace energy convert spirit bones into another substance that can be stored in the fungal warehouse through metabolism?

Li Nuo thought of four types of trump card psionic fungi.

These four types of fungi have always been stored in the fungal warehouse.

Because the cultivation process requires the use of subspace energy, and the system cannot provide this energy, these three types of fungi can only be cultivated outside the simulation space.

Li Nuo was too lazy to bother, and had never deeply studied these four types of psionic fungi.

They are:

Ghost Mushrooms;

Psionic fungi that can desalinate and desulfurize promethium;

Psionic fungi that can control hydrothermal fluid;

And, a psionic mold corrupted by Nurgle, in a subspace superimposed state, which will escape into subspace as soon as it is studied.

These four are the psionic fungi that Li Nuo has collected so far.

Among them, only the psionic mold is 100% certain to feed on subspace energy.

The diets of the other three psionic fungi are not very clear for the time being.

As his mind raced, all the iron sheets in his hand were welded together. Li Nuo took the opportunity to go back to get materials and passed by the warehouse where the spirit bones were stored.

The Orcs don't know the value of spirit bones, mistakenly treating scrap iron as treasure.

This group of uncultured green-skinned aliens threw spirit bones everywhere, neglecting to manage and take care of them, instead keeping a close eye on scrap metal.

Li Nuo bent down, picked up a tile-like piece of spirit bone and stuffed it into his pocket, then picked up a pile of iron sheets and continued to weld them on the engineering platform.

He locked onto the spirit bone in his pocket with his mind, opened the system interface, and enabled the fungal simulation function.

"System, select psionic fungi with desalination and desulfurization properties as experimental subjects, use the spirit bone in my pocket as nutrients, and try to cultivate the psionic fungi."

[Simulation parameter settings completed.]

[Please note that this simulation will be conducted in the real universe, not the system space.]

[During the simulation process, please do not let the simulation materials leave your perception range, otherwise it will lead to simulation failure.]

[At the time of the simulation settlement, the system will consume the experimental samples and simulation materials used for the simulation to provide you with the simulation products.]

[Do you confirm the start of the simulation?]

Li Nuo avoided the chattering gretchin and orcs, and came to a quiet corner to weld the iron sheets:

"Confirm, start the simulation now."

[This simulation officially begins.]

[Day 1: In the space environment and the force field created by the Air Waaagh, you used the tile-shaped spirit bone as a slide and culture medium for cultivating psionic fungi, and completed the cultivation work of the psionic fungi.]

No.

Wait, wait.

Li Nuo looked at the system message and felt a little dazed.

I am now in space, located within the force field range of the Air Waaagh, so the simulation environment also includes space and the Air Waaagh's force field?

It turns out that when simulating in the real universe, the system will automatically read the surrounding environmental parameters of the host.

It's not good to be in space.

The radiation in space is ever-changing.

There are high-energy charged particle streams ejected during solar flares.

There are also cosmic rays composed of high-energy protons and high-energy heavy ions.

In the world before the crossing, the plant seeds and animal embryos that went to space with the astronauts basically mutated.

Now it's good, I'm conducting fungal experiments in space.

Given the fragility of microorganisms, mutation in space is a certainty.

Li Nuo wanted to terminate the simulation process and switch to indoor simulation.

But under the trend of curiosity, he stopped this thought and calmed down to continue checking the progress of the simulation.

[Day 2 to Day 5:]

[More than half of the 100 experimental samples died.]

[There is no salt and sulfur in the spirit bones. The dead samples could not obtain nutrients from them, so they died of hunger.]

[The surviving samples changed their metabolic mode, switching from feeding on salt and sulfur to feeding on subspace energy.]

It is normal for fungi to change their metabolic mode.

Take yeast as an example.

Yeast is generally anaerobic, but most of them can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.

When there is oxygen, they carry out aerobic respiration, oxidizing and decomposing sugars into nutrients needed for their growth.

When there is no oxygen, they carry out fermentation, converting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, using the carbon source, nitrogen source, and inorganic salts produced in the reaction process as nutrients.

The current state of the psionic fungi is similar to that of yeast.

Under the pressure of the environment, in order to survive, they entered a metabolic mode of absorbing subspace energy.

[Day 7 to Day 12:]

[Only 19 out of 100 samples survived, and the rest died one after another due to insufficient nutrients.]

[You found that among the existing 19 samples, 11 have different degrees of mutation.]

[Their mutated appearance is shown in the figure:]

[...]

The system presented a holographic microscope image on the interface.

11 pictures, corresponding to 11 mutated samples, each sample becoming strangely shaped.

Tendrils, hard lumps, tumor-like bulges, chitin layers similar to feathers, protrusions resembling teeth and nails...

The strange mutated parts were squeezed together, making Li Nuo's spine feel cold.

The system sent an inquiry.

[At this time, you decide?]

"I decided to dispose of the mutated samples harmlessly and discard them."

[Day 12: You harmlessly disposed of the mutated samples and discarded them, and continued the simulation experiment with the remaining 8 samples.]

[Day 13: No samples died, which shows that the existing samples are accustomed to feeding on crystallized subspace energy, and the nutrients they absorb from the spirit bones every day are enough to support their survival and growth.]

[Day 14: Among the existing 8 samples, 1 is growing vigorously, and its colony has grown to the extent that it can be observed with the naked eye.]

[You used an automated chromatograph, mass spectrometer, and microbial sensor to track the metabolites of this sample.]

[You found that there is only one type of metabolite.]

[The microscopic structure of this substance is somewhat similar to that of spirit bones, and its holographic microscopic image is shown in the figure:]

[...]

A large picture was spread in front of Li Nuo, occupying at least half of his vision.

Li Nuo's pupils slowly contracted, and his mind was shocked by the huge picture in front of him.

Tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons... Countless axially symmetric polyhedra formed a lattice-like framework, and there were patterns on the surface of the polyhedra like integrated circuits.

This is a three-dimensional image composed of polygons, beautiful, full of symmetry, and every stroke is as precise as the work of ghosts and gods.

This thing is definitely not a creation of nature.

A identification spell was thrown out, and the identification result made Li Nuo's heart hot.
