I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#123 - Castration of Orcs

Lower Nest, Eighth District, Stillwater Street, Li Nuo's water purification plant.

In the idle workshop, Leia has set up a circular runway and obstacles.

The holographic equipment Li Nuo bought for her is in operation.

The holographic projection renders the circular runway into a war zone filled with artillery fire, while the obstacles in the factory building are rendered into tanks, monsters, trenches, and piles of corpses.

Leia is wearing a vest and trousers, holding a water pipe that resembles a gun.

Beside her are more than a dozen Imperial soldiers created by holographic devices.

Leia and these virtual figures shuttle through the flames of war together.

Firing, alternating cover, charging and fighting enemies in the trenches, Leia follows the instructions in the headset, executing each step precisely.

She and her virtual teammates are fighting against a type of insectoid alien. (Note 0)

This alien has huge mouthparts, sharp claws and pincers, and powerful lower limbs.

They are as swift as the wind, killing like mowing grass, and even in a one-on-one fight, they can fight against several soldiers of the Human Empire at the same time.

A tide of insectoid aliens surged towards the trenches, and the sharp insect chirps made the eardrums ache, but Leia seemed to be used to it and turned a deaf ear.

She dodges the bugs that pounce on her with a nimble posture, using the trench walls as cover to block the claws and pincers that stab at her.

"Da da da—" Bullets exploded into black blood in the insect's mouthparts.

Along with a wail, the alien's head exploded, and a line of virtual text popped up next to it.

"Killed an Yaz bug, virtual battlefield score +10."

Leia chuckled and prepared to rush to support her teammates who were under attack.

At this moment, the virtual scene projected by the holographic device was paused, and a virtual communication interface popped up in front of Leia.

"Hello? Li Nuo? … Okay, you come over."

After a brief communication, Leia gave instructions to the holographic device and turned off the holographic projection.

The virtual scene in the factory disappeared.

The holographic device stood in the corner. It was a precious large device that could create a virtual scene covering thousands of square meters.

The nobles of the Upper Nest like to use this equipment to create a party atmosphere.

For Leia, she prefers to use the holographic war games popular in the Upper Nest to train herself.

Physical fitness, shooting feel, combat literacy, designated tactics, all aspects of training content can be found in holographic war games.

Entertainment is only one of the functions of holographic equipment, and another use is to access the Upper Nest's public database.

Since she had memories, Leia had never seen a second person with purple eyes, not even her parents.

She was very curious about this phenomenon, so she searched for relevant content in the database.

The search results pointed to a planet in the Misty Starfield.

17 years ago, that is, in the 966th year of the 30th millennium.

The Empire's expeditionary fleet discovered a magnificent cosmic spectacle on the edge of the Misty Starfield, a huge "eye" that seemed to devour everything.

It was named "Giant Eye" by the Empire's scholars. (Note 1)

There is extremely strong magnetic interference and radiation around the Giant Eye.

Near it is a planet called Cadia, which has a Stone Age human civilization that is very backward.

The people there also have purple pupils.

Imperial scholars believe that the eyes of the Cadians are purple because they have been exposed to the radiation of the Giant Eye for many years. This is an acceptable neutral mutation.

Leia breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she understood why her pupils were purple.

It is estimated that a forgotten accident when she was very young caused a neutral mutation in her eyes.

Therefore, she has different pupils.

It's just that she doesn't know why, in her memory, her parents never talked to her about the color of her pupils.

Leia couldn't help but fall into memories, carefully searching for memories in this regard.

"Click." The factory door was pushed open.

Li Nuo walked in from the main workshop of the water purification plant, "So you are here. I was wondering why I went around outside and didn't see you. What are you thinking about? So focused."

"Huh? You're here. It's nothing, I was just thinking about my past life." Leia came back to her senses and asked:

"Are you planning to further increase the water purification volume? Then I'll clean up here."

"No, it's not, I'm here this time because of something else." Li Nuo glanced at the obstacles in the workshop, and then looked at the game interface on the holographic device screen, guessing that Leia had turned this place into a place to play holographic games.

As of now, the White Fruit Manor's water supply is normal, indicating that Leia has not been indulging in pleasure and neglecting her duties.

She's alone in the water purification plant, if she doesn't play games to pass the time, she might go crazy.

Let her play, it's no big deal.

Li Nuo chatted with Leia for a few words, asked her to help prepare the tools and metal materials, and then took these things into the secret room alone.

He was going to modify the water ball bacteria bioreactor here.

The current version of the bioreactor is made with the mechanical witchcraft of the orcs, which requires the consumption of universal psionic materials.

If Li Nuo wants to overturn the Water family's table and get rid of the Water Syndicate's water from now on, he must first find a way to make a bioreactor without using psionic materials.

He deconstructed the production process, stopped at the link of using psionic materials, and thought deeply about this link.

After an hour of research, Li Nuo had a new understanding of the relationship between mechanical witchcraft and psionic materials.

As we all know, electrical appliances have the following important parameters during operation:

Power, voltage, current, resistance.

The power supply made of psionic materials and metal materials does not need to consider these parameters at all, just connect the wires and you're done.

What voltage, resistance, current, power, the green-skinned masters never care about this, we think it can be used if we connect the power, then it must be usable.

Automatically adjusting the parameters of electrical appliances is one of the functions of universal psionic materials in mechanical witchcraft.

With the participation of this material, the power in the bioreactor will always be in a state suitable for the reactor.

Li Nuo removed the witchcraft power supply of the bioreactor, and instead used a programmable power supply produced by human technology.

After several rounds of testing, a complete set of power supply solutions matching the bioreactor was freshly released.

After importing this set of solutions into the programmable power supply, the bioreactor started operating without the witchcraft power supply.

The operation process was smooth and smooth, and there was no difference from using a witchcraft power supply.

With the emergence of the power supply solution, the work of improving the bioreactor was completed.

Now, just find a foundry, and Li Nuo can mass-produce new bioreactors without water ball bacteria.

Things are not over yet.

In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from cracking the bioreactor, and also to prevent the hyphae of the water ball bacteria from falling into the hands of others, Li Nuo specially logged into the "account" of the technician kid Gujia and thought of an insurance device.

[Name: Cracker Nemesis]

[Description:]

[This thing is an insurance device used to counter cracking methods.]

[After installation, any cracking behavior targeting mechanical devices will trigger a big explosion!]

The work of producing new bioreactors is completed by the foundry.

The work of installing water ball bacteria and Cracker Nemesis in the bioreactor is completed independently by Leia.

After Leia installs the water ball bacteria and Cracker Nemesis, she will hand the bioreactor to Isabel and let her transport it to the newly built water purification plant.

In this way, the problem of water purification equipment is solved.

In order to improve Leia's work efficiency, Li Nuo is going to tailor a set of mechanical arms for her, and at the same time increase the specifications of the bioreactor to giant size.

Since you have time to play games, then you must have time to work overtime!

One giant bioreactor corresponds to one new water purification plant.

According to the speed of assembling one unit per day, Leia only needs to work hard for a hundred days to prepare the water purification equipment for one hundred water purification plants.

It should be very easy, right.

"Leia, I have good news for you." Li Nuo walked out of the room with a satisfied smile, holding a hand-drawn assembly drawing of the giant bioreactor.

"What good news?" Leia rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up, "Could it be that you are going to give me a raise?"

"Yes, I'm going to give you a raise, and you may not have to guard here every day in the future." Li Nuo smiled, and stuffed the drawing in his hand to the other party:

"Take it, study it yourself first. My fiancée and my assistant will be here soon, and when they arrive, I will tell you what these drawings are for."

"Oh, okay… wait, you have a fiancée?" Leia was taken aback, her purple eyes widened, "If I remember correctly, you are only 15 years old, right?!"

Leia has known Li Nuo since he started selling mushrooms.

Leia personally witnessed a thin and small Lower Nest boy gradually growing into what he looks like today.

It is precisely because she knows that the other party is actually only 15 years old that Leia has always treated Li Nuo as a partner and has not had any other ideas.

Just as Leia's brain crashed, the doorbell rang at the front door of the water purification plant.

Li Nuo went to open the door and led Tido and Isabel in.

The two of them knew before that Li Nuo had a water purification plant in the Lower Nest, but this was the first time they visited this place.

The first time she saw Isabel, Leia let out a sharp explosion:

"Isabel Kram? Are you Isabel Kram? I've seen your poster on the counter of Kram Cigarette Shop! I've been smoking your family's cigarettes recently! Oh my god ~ I didn't expect Li Nuo's fiancée to be you?!"

Li Nuo raised his hand and patted his forehead, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Tido hugged her belly and laughed wildly, almost losing her footing and falling into the pool, but fortunately Li Nuo grabbed her arm.

Isabel shook her head embarrassedly:

"No no no, you misunderstood. I am indeed Isabel of the Kram family, but I am not Li Nuo's fiancée. This is the one next to me."

Now it was Leia's turn to be embarrassed. Her face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple.

Li Nuo stepped forward and said, "Leia, Isabel is my assistant. She will be your point of contact from now on. This lady beside me is my fiancée, Tido Foggess…"

Leia gasped sharply, her whole body tensing up as if she'd been electrocuted.

The recent sweep operation had caused quite a stir in the Lower Nest, with posters of various Hunting Lords' names and images plastered on notice boards to promote the Upper Nest nobles' contributions to the Nest City.

In a sense, this was a measure to prevent unrest from breeding in the Lower Nest.

The resulting impact was that almost every Lower Nest resident knew that the current Governor had only one descendant, and that was Tido Foggess.

"Oh, I don't feel so good. I'm a little dizzy," Leia said, overwhelmed by the sudden news.

"Then take a moment to recover. I'll show them around and come back to you later."

Li Nuo introduced Leia's identity and background to Tido and Isabel, without concealing how he and Leia had met.

The Water Strider Fungus was of great significance, and only those who truly stood on the same side as him were qualified to know of its existence.

Li Nuo didn't need to say much, as the intelligent Tido and the experienced Isabel could naturally figure it out.

After witnessing the water purification efficiency of the Water Strider Fungus bioreactor with their own eyes, they celebrated on the spot, sweeping away the gloom brought by the Water Family.

The newest novels are first published on 6 9 Book Bar!

Li Nuo described the plan to produce bioreactors.

Tido and Isabel fully supported him after listening and offered several suggestions.

The first was the security issue of the water purification plant.

Relying on Leia alone was definitely not enough.

Isabel suggested recruiting security personnel willing to undergo implant modifications to protect the water purification plant from the outside.

These security personnel would be implanted with locators and behavior restrictors, requiring them to patrol or stand guard in designated locations during work hours, and preventing them from approaching the water purification plant after work, otherwise triggering alarms or even electrocution.

The security personnel in the Kram Tobacco Factory had all undergone this type of modification.

Li Nuo approved of Isabel's proposal and entrusted her with the security affairs.

Tido's suggestion was to have the Foggess family's assembly plant produce the components of the bioreactors.

This would save on the cost of hiring a contract factory and make it easier to track the whereabouts of each component.

If any component went missing, Tido would receive the news immediately and send someone to search for it.

This suggestion was also good, and Li Nuo had no reason to refuse.

The work of assembling the bioreactors, installing the mycelium of the Water Strider Fungus, and the Destroyer Bane would still be done by Leia.

After Li Nuo's simplification, the assembly process was not complicated, basically fool-proof mechanical operation, so Leia would definitely be fine.

The three of them wandered around the water purification plant and returned to Leia.

By this time, Leia had recovered from the shock and reluctantly accepted the fact that the young man she knew had become a big shot.

Tido, Leia, and Isabel discussed the details.

Li Nuo went to the room to get the robotic arm that Leia would need in the future.

Later that day, Li Nuo and the two ladies bid farewell to Leia and returned to the Upper Nest.

The three of them enjoyed a dinner made by Brandy at Li Nuo's residence.

After the meal, Tido and Isabel continued to discuss the plan in the laboratory.

Li Nuo entered the study and sat in the chair, quietly waiting for the simulation results.

On the simulation interface, lines of system text refreshed, the old text quickly covered by the new.

[Fungal Gene Simulation Experiment]

[Day 73194, you are conducting the 42515th experiment.]

[In this experiment, you are using a Beastman fungal gene fragment related to "reproduction" as the experimental object.]

[The gene editing tool you are using is "TDD - IE-1311" artificial nuclease technology.]

[The expression vector you are using is "CVCPSE - ABB-15" yeast.]

[Gene editing work begins.]

[…]

After three ellipses, a large amount of information related to the operation steps appeared on the simulation interface.

The gene editing operation steps are mechanized and can be skipped.

Just check the results after the operation is over.

The more critical part is the gene editing expression vector.

The expression vector Li Nuo chose was the yeast he made using fungal cultivation simulation.

Whether before or after the transmigration, yeast is a commonly used host cell in the field of biotechnology.

This single-celled eukaryotic organism has a simple structure, fast growth rate, and is easy to culture.

A simple biological structure means that the yeast's own gene fragments have less influence on the gene editing experiment.

A fast growth rate means that the experimenter does not have to wait too long for the effects of gene editing to be expressed in the yeast.

If you use commercially available yeast, you may have to wait ten days to see the effects of gene editing. If you're unlucky, it may take thirty or forty days.

The CVCPSE - ABB-15 yeast that Li Nuo used is different. Its expression speed is very fast, generally not exceeding ten days.

Imperceptibly, the efficiency of gene editing using this yeast is increased several times.

In the short term, it is unlikely that there will be a better gene editing expression vector than this yeast.

[You treat the yeast cells with lithium salt to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, thereby facilitating the entry of the expression vector into the cell.]

[The expression vector has been introduced into the yeast.]

[You quietly wait for the yeast to express the effects of gene editing.]

[…]

A holographic microscope image appeared on the system interface.

In the picture, a lonely yeast is growing and developing in the culture medium.

Possibly affected by the Tech-Priest's fungal gene fragment, the color of the yeast changes from transparent to light green.

After turning light green throughout, the yeast then undergoes asexual reproduction, the number changing from one to two, and then from two to four…

Gradually, the originally lonely yeast proliferated into a light green colony the size of a fingernail.

The expansion speed of the colony slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually stopping.

Li Nuo's heartbeat quickened a few points.

The colony in the holographic microscope image was not moving!

It stopped expanding!

This was exactly the scene Li Nuo had dreamed of.

Beastmen have no gender distinction; they are typical asexual reproducers.

This reproductive ability is controlled by the Beastman's fungal gene fragment.

Li Nuo has been exploring ways to stop Beastmen from reproducing recently.

After the colony formed a certain size, the yeast carrying the fungal gene fragment related to "reproduction" stopped asexual reproduction as expected!

This means that the gene editing operation just performed can prevent Beastmen from spreading reproductive spores at a certain stage of life.

After the simulated days increased by three days, the nutrients in the culture medium were exhausted.

The colony contracted at an extremely slow speed, eventually disappearing into nothing, with no trace of life reaction.

At this point, the fungal gene simulation ended.

[Simulation successful!]

[Congratulations, you have discovered a set of gene modification schemes to curb Beastman reproduction.]

[Beastmen modified by this scheme will stop spreading reproductive spores after growing to a certain stage and will no longer have reproductive ability.]

[Please name this modification scheme.]

Since it is a gene modification scheme used to curb reproduction, let's call it the Beastman Reproduction Regulation Scheme.

Or call it the Beastman Eunuch Scheme, the Beastman Castration Scheme, the Beastman Vasectomy Scheme.

It doesn't matter what you call it.

Anyway, the meaning is the same.

Li Nuo mourned for his first Grox for one second in the future.

In order to prevent it from randomly spreading reproductive spores, it is destined to have no offspring.

At this moment, Li Nuo seemed to understand a little why the Space Marines and Gene-Sires could not reproduce.

"Castrated" Space Marines and Gene-Sires are good tools, and so is Grox.

On this point, Li Nuo felt that he and the Emperor, as well as Amaranthine Astares and other scientists who created the Thunder Warriors and Space Marines for the Emperor, coincided.

Note 0: Insectoid aliens do not know the Tyranid.

Note 1: The Great Eye, that is, the Eye of Terror in later generations.

During the Horus Heresy, the Great Eye expanded, devouring the surrounding starry sky.

After the rebellion ended, the Human Empire attached great importance to this and selected Cadia as an outpost to monitor the Great Eye.

Cadia thus became the later Fortress World, and the Great Eye was renamed the Eye of Terror.

The residents of the Fortress World Cadia are not natives, but were later relocated.
