I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

【You are redeeming reward item 2. Reward details are as follows:】

【Reward 2: Precisely match and simulate the Ork you specify. Redemption price: 100 points + several Magical Spores.】

【The simulation target you specified has been found.】

【Calculating simulation price.】

【The simulation target is Ork Technician Ladz. The starting price for the simulation is 10 Magical Spores.】

【The simulation target has undergone genetic modification. Its gene purity is only 25% compared to a normal Technician Ladz, increasing the simulation price by 400%.】

【The simulation target has undergone mechanization modification. Its mechanization level reaches 90%, increasing the simulation price by 1000%.】

【The final simulation price is 10 * (1 + 400% + 1000%) = 150 Magical Spores.】

【Current Magical Spore inventory: 266.】

【Do you want to start a new Waaagh! simulation immediately?】

The humanoid weapon is judged by the system to be an Ork!

I can possess it!

Oh yeah~

Li Nuo raised his arms and cheered hoarsely:

"I succeeded!! I created an Ork Mech! ! ! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaagh! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

That's right, the prototype Fungus Astartes is essentially an intelligent mech controlled by an Ork brain, or Ork Mech for short.

From a physiological point of view, it is actually similar to the "Big Iron Can" that appeared in previous battles.

However, the Ork Mech is more intelligent, more obedient to orders, will not rebel or defect, always maintains absolute loyalty, and will not spread reproductive spores.

These advantages are unmatched by the Big Iron Can.

The surrounding Orks didn't know what an Ork Mech was, but seeing the Mad Dok dancing with joy, they also cheered.

"Waa! Mad Dok is really great!"

"I knew Mad Dok would be able to do it!"

"This shiny thing is so cute! I want to paint it red!"

The Psyker Ladz Pengpa let out a strange cry:

"Waaagh! I can't draw psychic energy from this thing, and I can't sense its brain! This thing is so amazing! I clearly saw the Mad Dok put the brain in, but how can I not sense its brain?"

Of course you can't sense it, take a look at what the outer shell of this Ork Mech is made of.

This is armor made of warp energy single crystals.

Not only is its Chaos resistance extremely high, but the material itself is far harder than adamantium, and it can also shield against mental and energy scans, detection, and perception, with extremely high resistance to energy attacks.

Don't say that the Psyker Ladz can't find the Ork Mech's brain, even Magnus would be dumbfounded when he saw this Ork Mech.

It is no exaggeration to say that this armor alone is enough to drive the Adeptus Mechanicus crazy, let alone the Tech-Witchcraft and Mad Dok Witchcraft used to create the Ork Mech.

After venting the high emotions in his heart, Li Nuo immediately started testing.

He told all the surrounding Orks to disperse and do what they were doing, only leaving Airon behind.

Airon has the greatest strength, the fastest punching speed, and is the most resistant to beatings.

After several rounds of hitting and anti-hitting tests, Li Nuo obtained detailed data.

He named the humanoid weapon on the system interface.

The panel of the prototype Fungus Astartes personally written by Li Nuo was freshly released.

【Name: 1st Generation Fungus Astartes - Prototype】

【Total weight: 390 kg】

【Modules installed: Tick Tock Box, Noisy Box, Anti-Chaos Hard Armor, Click Clack Legs, Clang Clang Arms, Mech Skeleton and Servo Motors.】

【Available modules: Bang Bang Thingy, Scrap Shield Generator, Blue Flame Furnace Backpack, Clickity Flyer, etc.】

【Advantages: Absolute loyalty, immune to Chaos corruption, immune to mental attacks, 99% or more energy attack refraction rate, compressive strength is difficult to estimate, at least no less than 20,000 terapascal, can obtain multiple functions by installing more modules.】

【Disadvantages:】

【1. Extremely expensive to manufacture. The armor made of more than 600 kilograms of single crystals only weighs 300 kilograms. The loss is serious. The lost single crystals are suspected of turning into warp energy and returning to the warp.】

【2. Combat mode can only be switched by replacing the protocol data cassette.】

【3. The survival of the Ork brain depends on nutrient solution, and a single Ork brain can serve for a maximum of 6 consecutive months. After 6 months, the Ork brain will be scrapped due to long-term exposure to electric current.】

【4. The external sensors use conventional electronic components, which do not have Chaos resistance and may become nodes for Chaos demons to invade.】

【5. The joints of the armor are made of leather, hinges, and high-elastic composite fibers, which have relatively weak defensive performance and are at risk of being pierced by sharp objects.】

【6. Insufficient airtightness, may be harmed by poisonous gas, strong acid, and strong alkali.】

【7. Sufficient defensive performance, but insufficient mobility and explosive power. Further optimization of the internal transmission system is required to achieve explosive power and movement speed comparable to that of "Li Nuo's" human body.】

【8. Serious lack of concealment, special coatings are needed to shield scanning.】

The advantages of the prototype Fungus Astartes are prominent, and the disadvantages cannot be ignored.

Among the many disadvantages, one is difficult to judge as good or bad.

That is, the prototype Fungus Astartes needs to load a protocol data cassette to work.

The advantage is obvious: it will not break away from the master's control.

The disadvantage is that the action mode is rigid, and this rigidity also affects possession.

After Li Nuo sent Airon away, he tried to possess the prototype Fungus Astartes.

He quickly discovered the embarrassing part, that is, after possession, the actions of the prototype Fungus Astartes are still restricted by the action protocol.

At this time, Li Nuo loaded the self-check protocol for the prototype Fungus Astartes.

After he possessed it, he could only act according to the protocol, and could not ignore or overstep it.

For example, he wanted to control the prototype Fungus Astartes to do a flying pounce.

Since this action was not written into the protocol, the nerve command of "flying pounce" could not be converted into an electronic signal, and the servo motors in the prototype Fungus Astartes naturally failed to receive the command.

As a result, he was clearly trying very hard to jump, but he could never pounce out.

To sum it up in one sentence, if you want to move freely after possessing the prototype Fungus Astartes, you must write the action protocol well and in detail.

The only exception is Fungus Power.

Regardless of whether the protocol allows the use of Fungus Power, Li Nuo can freely release them during possession.

Come to think of it, that makes sense.

Fungus Power comes from the system.

As long as the system is there, Fungus Power can be used freely.

After ending the possession, Li Nuo wrote a new entry on the panel of the prototype Fungus Astartes.

【Modification Ideas:】

【Remove the Tick Tock Box and the built-in Mech Skeleton, and replace the servo motors with electronic muscle bundles. After the modification, the outer shell of this Fungus Astartes will become a single-soldier power armor.】

At this point, the basic test for the prototype model has come to an end.

Calculating the time, it should be evening in Epithet. Practical combat tests, extreme environment tests, and other projects will have to wait until tomorrow.

Li Nuo chose to save the prototype Fungus Astartes and ended the simulation.

【You consumed 100 simulation points to create a character archive for "Ork Mech Ladz - Big White".】

【Simulation character saved.】

【Starting simulation settlement.】

【You received approximately 15,000 likes from members of the Steel Courage clan.】

【You received 10 likes from Airon, the leader of the Steel Courage clan.】

【You received a total of 32,000 simulation points.】

【Remaining simulation points: approximately 190,000.】

【Number of Magical Spores: 116.】

The residence in the Royal Court District.

Li Nuo opened his eyes in the study. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window sprinkled into the room, forming golden beams of light.

Next, he can build the prototype Fungus Astartes in the private laboratory.

The construction process must not be disturbed.

If someone sees the Ork brain, then I'll be in trouble.

Li Nuo plans to arrange the affairs of the Hive City first, and then enter the private laboratory to build the Fungus Astartes.

Standing up and walking out of the study, Brandi had just finished dinner.

Li Nuo sat down at the dining table and flipped through the news on the datapad.

A moment later, Tido entered the house.

She went to the washroom to wash her hands before dinner, and then sat down at the table to eat.

It has become a routine for Tido to come here for dinner.

Brandi's cooking skills are one aspect, and on the other hand, Tido doesn't want to attend the Royal Court District dinner.

Most of the people at the banquet are family representatives, guild representatives, and visitors from outside the world.

It's too tiring to eat and chat with these people.

Tido simply uses the excuse of accompanying Li Nuo every night to avoid the Royal Court District dinner, come to Li Nuo's to fill her stomach, and then rest for a while.

"Are there any matters recently that I must personally handle?" Li Nuo put down the datapad to eat, and said as he ate:

"My experiment is about to make a breakthrough, and I need to stay in the laboratory for several days in a row. Before that, I want to settle the matters that I must personally handle."

"Um, let me think..." Tido stuffed a mouthful of peas into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and chewed crunchingly.

After swallowing a mouthful of salty and fragrant beans, she pursed her lips and said:

"There are two things that you must personally handle. One thing is the First Dawn Festival half a month later. This is a traditional festival in Epithet to welcome the New Year. You and I will attend the parade ceremony and the dinner on the day of the First Dawn Festival."

"Parade ceremony?" Li Nuo paused while eating, "Is it the kind of celebration where we sit in the car and parade around the Hive City?"

"That's right, we just need to go around the main road of the First District. People in other districts watch the celebration through rebroadcasts."

Li Nuo nodded slowly, "Okay, I understand. What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is related to the Watt family. Do you remember Godwin Watt?"

"I remember him. He's Ilena's father. I replaced the water from the Lower Nest Water Plant with irrigation water from White Fruit Manor. Godwin and Ilena, this water merchant father and daughter pair, helped me with the water replacement. Godwin knows about the existence of the Water Orb Fungus. Did he reveal the Water Orb Fungus to the Water family?"

"No, Godwin kept silent about the Water Orb Fungus. This person may be the key to us controlling the Water family."

Tido put down her cutlery, wiped her mouth, and said seriously:

"Before the cleansing operation against the Mending Church began, Godwin made a request to the head of the Water family. He hoped that his daughter, Ilena, could have a set of Hunter-rank equipment so she could participate in the cleansing operation and move her inheritance order up a bit."

"Godwin's move made some people in the Water family unhappy. These people murdered Godwin's wife and crippled his legs. Ilena would have suffered the same fate, but Ilena was favored by Cadolly of the Levey family at the time, and thus escaped unscathed…"

Listening to Tido's story, Li Nuo really didn't expect there were so many stories hidden inside, and he couldn't help but sit up straight and listen carefully.

Ilena's experience really fulfilled the old saying before the transmigration:

Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessings may conceal misfortune.

If she hadn't been favored by Cadolly of the Levey family, she might have suffered the same fate as her mother, or even worse.

Tido said:

"After we started building new rainwater collection pipes and water purification plants, the Water family secretly investigated where we bought the water purification equipment. The Water family discovered that Godwin and his daughter had dealings with the Umbrella Group. The Water family held a family internal meeting specifically for this, forcing Godwin and Ilena to reveal the truth."

Li Nuo imagined the scene at the meeting, frowning slightly:

"They shouldn't have succumbed, right?"

"Yes, they didn't succumb. The hatred for their deceased wife and mother made this father and daughter persist to the end. Moreover, Godwin, with his own mind and experience, helped us convey a signal at that meeting."

Li Nuo asked, "What signal?"

Tido took a slight breath, and said with a hint of a smile:

"The signal is that whether they oppose the current Governor or the future Governor, the Water family will only have a dead end. As long as the Governor is willing, the Water family's foundation will be reduced to ashes overnight, and the entire family will be completely reduced from high-ranking nobles to stray dogs on the side of the road."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows:

"It seems that this Godwin is quite tough, daring to say such things in front of so many people in the family. Isn't he afraid that we won't support him?"

Tido's smile remained, her eyes twinkling, waiting for Li Nuo's response.

Li Nuo spread his hands:

"Okay, Godwin bet right. When can he see me?"

"Tomorrow is fine. In fact, Isabel and I have met with them, father and daughter, before. Isabel and I have already drafted all the cooperation plans, and now we are just waiting for you to make the final decision."

Tido opened the document on the data pad and handed it to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo took it and chuckled, "You two are really capable, you've quietly taken care of things for me."

"Of course. The more effort we put into trivial matters, the more energy and time you can devote to the field of scientific research, and the better the future of the Nest Capital will be. I am very clear about this." Tido tilted her head triumphantly, smiling, and picked up her cutlery to continue eating.

Li Nuo flipped through the document on the data pad and saw the plan drafted by Tido and Isabel together.

"I have something to add." Li Nuo raised the issue of the potential water shortage in the Nest Capital in the future.

After listening, Tido gradually realized the hidden dangers caused by the rapid development of synthetic starch.

This was something she and Isabel had not thought of before.

According to Li Nuo's deduction:

After all the promethium refining residue from the six Empire worlds is transported to Epimeth to be processed, the total water volume of the Nest Capital will probably decrease steadily in 5 to 10 years. If this continues for another 10 years, the Nest Capital will experience a large-scale water shortage and can only rely on imports from outside.

Once a water shortage problem forms a trend, it will be difficult to reverse and incurable.

Therefore, we must take action before the problem occurs.

"When I meet with Godwin tomorrow, I want you, Isabel, and Godwin's daughter to be present. Let's work together to solve the future water shortage problem. If Godwin and the Water family behind him can solve this problem, then the Water family has a reason to exist, otherwise…"

Li Nuo didn't finish his words, but Tido understood his meaning. The two looked at each other and nodded, tacitly agreeing.

After dinner, Tido rested at Li Nuo's residence for a while, and then went to her office to handle official business.

Li Nuo entered the private laboratory to prepare for creating the first generation of Fungus-Statt.

The next day, in the morning, inside a small reception room in the Royal Court District.

Godwin and his daughter arrived as scheduled.

Ilena looked a little haggard, which was caused by the family meeting that felt like interrogation, but she had also matured a lot because of it, no longer as ignorant as a newbie entering the business world.

When she saw Li Nuo, Ilena's expression was a bit tangled…

The person her father tried so hard to match her with had become an unattainable figure. Anyone facing such a huge change would be at a loss.

Tido noticed that Ilena's expression was a little strange and cast an inquiring look at Li Nuo.

Li Nuo didn't dare to show any abnormality at this time, otherwise he would have to enter a Shura field.

He welcomed the water merchant father and daughter with a calm expression, behaving openly and honestly.

Godwin wisely did not mention the matter of matching his daughter with Li Nuo, as if it had never happened.

Influenced by her father, Ilena also quickly calmed down and put the embarrassing matter behind her.

Everyone took their seats in the reception room.

Tido directly cut to the chase, asking if there was a way to solve the future water shortage problem.

This question obviously exceeded Godwin's plan, catching him off guard, so that his composure was broken, revealing a trace of astonishment and confusion.

But soon, Godwin calmed down and entered a state of thinking.

Food shortages and water scarcity are common problems throughout the Human Empire, with only a few agricultural worlds, garden worlds, and paradise worlds being spared.

To a large extent, water scarcity is one of the driving forces of the Great Expedition.

Every time a planet with abundant water resources is found, the existing Empire worlds can continue their lives for a period of time, pushing back the outbreak of the drought problem for a few years.

If Godwin had a way to solve the future water shortage problem, he would have already become rich and famous, so why would his legs have been broken.

"I'm sorry, I can only provide a line of thought, and I can't guarantee that this line of thought will work."

Godwin said apologetically:

"The Water family has actually been paying attention to the potential water shortage problem for a long time. For this problem, the solution we proposed internally is to purify radiated water."

When it comes to professional issues, the right to speak naturally falls to Li Nuo.

"Radiated water? Are you referring to the light water coolant of the plasma reactor?"

"Yes, sir, that's what I mean."

There are two types of coolant for plasma reactors, light water and heavy water.

The main component of light water is H2O, and the component of heavy water is D2O.

In theory, only light water can be purified and drunk after being affected by radiation.

The radiated water that the two are discussing is the light water coolant with radiation.

Godwin clicked on his data pad and showed a table:

"According to the statistics of our Water family, the total amount of radiated water produced by the Empire every year reaches an astonishing 1800 trillion cubic meters, which is roughly equivalent to the total water volume of a Terra-sized ocean planet. So much radiated water has no other use than being discharged to garbage stars."

Li Nuo thought and asked:

"That is to say, the Empire must discover a new ocean planet every year to maintain the supply of light water coolant?"

"Yes, sir."

Li Nuo asked again:

"Then has your Water family found a solution to purify radiated water?"

Godwin's face was a little embarrassed:

"…We found it, but the cost is high, it can be said that it is not worth the cost. The value of the raw materials consumed far exceeds the water itself."

"Okay, I understand." Li Nuo cast a look at Tido.

Tido understood, took over the conversation, and discussed with Godwin the matter of supplying water to the starch factory, while Isabel took meeting minutes on the side.

The rainwater collection pipes and water purification plants will not be built so quickly, but the matter of increasing the production capacity of synthetic starch cannot be stopped.

For at least three months, it is best to buy water from the Water family, otherwise, they will have to import it from other Empire worlds at a higher price.

In these three months, stabilize the Water family and let them see hope, so as to avoid the rebound and riots from the Water family.

After these three months, what happens to the Water family depends entirely on whether they seek their own death.

Li Nuo hopes they seek their own death.

This way, he can rightfully take over the Water Guild of the Nest Capital and control almost all water-related facilities and pipelines.

The meeting ended, Li Nuo sent off the guests, returned to the laboratory, and began to make the first generation of Fungus-Statt.

The radiated water mentioned by Godwin is a good research direction, which happens to fit Li Nuo's own needs.

After the first generation of Fungus-Statt used to protect the human body is built, then study the method of purifying radiated water.

There are a lot of things to do today, the content of the monthly ticket will be temporarily moved to tomorrow!
