I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#148 - Fungi bring radiation
Where the bred machine will ultimately be transported is a tantalizing mystery.
Before the final answer is revealed, Rino's daily life and work continue as usual.
Supervising the reconstruction of the seventh district, checking the daily production and sales of synthetic starch, proofreading the information in each official document to ensure it matches the actual situation, listening to holographic reports from various departments of the Hive City…
All kinds of affairs kept Rino extremely busy.
Out of desperation, he created a 'Calculating Thingy' for himself and secretly used it in the office.
This made things much more comfortable.
Green-skin technology is truly amazing; by importing data into the Calculating Thingy, automated office work is achieved.
Rino only needs to take one or two hours to check the processing results of the Calculating Thingy, and the rest of the time can be used to read textbooks on gene editing and simulate the creation of a vaccine to exterminate the Bone Drinkers in the system.
After spending six days like this.
Morning, inside the office.
Bright artificial sunlight shines through the stained glass, casting colorful blocks of light into the room, and the sound of keyboard tapping echoes in the silent room.
The servo-skull floats beside Rino with a data slate, quietly accompanying Rino through his busy time.
"Master, the Chief Illuminator of the local Mechanicus Monastery wishes to communicate with you."
"Illuminator" is a refined term for Electro-Priests.
The local Electro-Priests are responsible for the Hive City's power regulation, maintaining facilities such as the artificial sun, power grid, and power hubs.
Of course, in the eyes of the Electro-Priests and other Tech-Priests, electricity should be called "Source Power," the sacred spark bestowed upon them by the Omnissiah.
"Connect the call," Rino paused his work and looked at the camera on the data slate.
Brandi manipulated the servo-skull to open a holographic projection, presenting a bald man with electrical patterns on his head.
"Under the witness of the Omnissiah, we welcome a brand new day, may your thinking always be as sharp and swift as Source Power."
The Chief Illuminator is named Herve Pulse Five.
He started with a routine greeting, then said:
"Lord Wilsic, I must tell you some bad news. Due to the transportation ban imposed by the Hive City on the Nidleaven Sector, our radioactive waste has piled up like a mountain, and the warehouse will be full in five days. Before the radioactive waste contaminates the pure creations of the Omnissiah, we had better think of a way to properly dispose of it."
Rino thought for a moment and asked:
"If I remember correctly, the radioactive waste warehouse should be full in 62 days, right? What caused it to fill up ahead of schedule?"
"Lord, you are unaware. This morning, the construction team rebuilding the ruined area dug up a radioactive waste pool. In order not to delay the progress of the project, they transferred the radioactive waste to the warehouse. The appearance of this pile of waste has caused the warehouse to fill up ahead of schedule."
Rino nodded slightly and replied:
"Okay, I understand. I will find a way to dispose of the radioactive waste as soon as possible."
Herve Pulse Five nodded in return:
"May the grace of the Omnissiah never be extinguished in the batteries of us all."
The holographic projection disappeared.
Rino instructed, "Call Teedo."
"Yes, Master."
Brandi dialed the communication.
Teedo's holographic figure was projected.
"What's the matter?" Teedo asked with a smile.
Rino said:
"Have the investigation results of the plague in the Nidleaven Sector been released?"
"Not yet. I specifically sent a star message to ask the Sector Governor's Office and the local Mechanicus Monastery. The Sector Governor's Office did not reply to me. The local Mechanicus Monastery said that they did not participate in the disinfection work in the plague area, so they do not understand the situation on the ground."
"I see…" Rino frowned and mentioned that the radioactive waste warehouse was about to be full:
"Help me contact other Imperial worlds and see who can take the waste from the warehouse. It's okay if the price is a little higher."
"Okay, I'll ask Daddy. I remember he has a list there, which records the Imperial worlds that intend to receive radioactive waste."
Half an hour later, the two communicated again.
In the picture, Teedo lightly twirled her chin, her expression a little serious:
"Rino, after I got the list from Daddy, I checked the status of these Imperial worlds one by one, and I found that they have all recently experienced plagues. I will send you the list and the plague reports."
Rino received the document sent by Teedo and opened it to view it.
There are four alternative radioactive waste processors, corresponding to four Sector Governors, whose territories are all located in the Obscurus Sector, which can be said to be peers of Nidleaven XV.
Competition is inevitable among peers.
Not long after the plague appeared in the Nidleaven Sector, the other four sectors successively experienced plagues, and the outbreaks all occurred in stellar radioactive waste areas.
It is difficult not to suspect that the five Sector Governors are using the plague to interfere with their competitors.
In the recent star messages, it is common to see public accusations from the five Sector Governors, a living drama for the onlookers.
Interestingly, none of the five Sector Governors have publicly released the investigation results of the plague.
It's as if this strain of pathogen is a taboo for the five Sector Governors…
"Interesting," Rino crossed his arms and looked at the desk in front of him.
It just so happens that the recent work has been handled almost completely, and there is free time to do research, so why not deal with the radioactive waste problem.
Rino asked Teedo to continue looking for new radioactive waste processors, while he went to the private laboratory to conduct simulations.
At the entrance of the laboratory, Leia and Mona were on guard today.
After Leia joined the Governor's Agent team, she had the best relationship with Mona.
Both of them are the type who like to fight and kill, and they will spar in the base's training room whenever they have time.
In comparison, Wick is more of a slacker, running away as soon as he gets off work, supposedly to accompany his favorite girl.
Seeing Rino walking towards them, Leia and the two immediately stopped their whispering, tightened their facial lines, and became serious, completely like a mouse seeing a cat.
Rino couldn't help but smile, entered the laboratory, and prepared to conduct the simulation.
There are two types of radioactive waste: light water radioactive material and heavy water radioactive material.
The specific type of waste produced depends on the structure of the plasma reactor.
The plasma reactors of the Imperium of Man only produce light water radioactive material.
Adding solidifying agents such as cement and asphalt to light water radioactive material can create solid light water radioactive material, which can then be launched into the star with a cannon.
This is how Sector Governors such as Nidleaven XV handle radioactive waste.
Rino certainly would not use this method.
The top priority is to use fungi to purify light water radioactive material.
Before crossing over, Rino had read many papers on this subject.
The cell walls of fungi contain various functional groups, such as carboxyl and amino groups.
They can undergo ion exchange reactions with radioactive materials, thereby adsorbing the radioactive materials onto the cell walls.
This operation is equivalent to solidifying the radioactive material, preventing it from spreading in the air, soil, and water.
Rino found many fungi with strong adsorption capacity in the fungus warehouse, such as cocktail fungus, water ball fungus, black Aspergillus, many kinds of yeast and Rhizopus.
So, the current problem is how to deal with the radioactive materials adsorbed on the fungi.
Out of caution, Rino decided to conduct experiments on the territory of the Steel Guts Tribe, where the radioactive waste is also light water radioactive material.
Clicking on the system interface, the archive information appeared.
[Archive 1: Witch Boy - Sack.]
[Archive Brief:]
[The Steel Guts Tribe's ship has been built, the ignition test flight was successful, and all ship functions are normal. Techboss and Techboy are conducting the final inspection. It is expected that the spaceship will be officially launched later today.]
[In Sack's shack, there are 1372 magical spores waiting for you to collect.]
A fulfilling work life always makes time fly by, and unconsciously the Steel Guts Tribe is about to ascend.
Rino took out the magical spores and swallowed them, reading Sack's archive.
His consciousness shuttled through the sea of stars, and after many days, Rino once again saw the sector suspected to be the Ulanor Ork Empire.
While flying towards the planet where the Steel Guts Tribe was located, Rino saw an Ork fleet also heading towards this planet.
The fleet had eleven powerful and cool spaceships, the size of Imperial Navy cruisers, with an extremely rough style, like eleven huge toilets floating in space, covered in rust from top to bottom.
The sides of the ships were painted with portraits covering half of the hull.
The main body of the portrait was an Ork wearing a horned helmet, with a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile on his face, blood flowing between his teeth, and some minced meat.
Next to this portrait was a slogan:
"Either join our Blood Bull Warlord, or become our food."
So, it's a warlord-level Orc group. No wonder they have so many ships.
Li Nuo's consciousness entered Sack's body, and he opened his eyes on Zarg's shoulder, looking left and right.
The Iron Tribe is not what it used to be. The buildings in the territory have changed from low iron shacks to an iron jungle.
Steel creations more than ten meters high rise from the ground, forming many chicken coop-like Orc dormitories.
The technician's workshop is located in the corner of the territory, spewing thick black smoke all day long. Even the air often floats with black ash, and the rain is also dark.
The residence of the tribe leader Ailong is located on a hill. The top of the hill has been leveled and replaced with steel creations. The appearance is square, like a pig iron ingot, showing the tough guy style of the Gangyong tribe.
Sack's shack is next to Ailong's residence, retaining the wood material and planting area, which is a unique landscape in the steel jungle.
Li Nuo knocked on Zarg's helmet and pointed to the shack behind him:
"I want to tinker with some novel things. You go and fetch me a smelly green mud."
"Aung." Zarg put the witch priest on his shoulder to the ground and left with heavy steps, the sound of footsteps was clanging.
The newest novels are all first published on 6_9_shu_ba!
After a while, a barrel of radioactive waste appeared in front of Li Nuo.
This thing emits a faint green light, like a pile of slime, it feels slippery and wet, hence the name green mud.
Its name in the Human Empire is Light Water Radioactive Material.
Orcs are not afraid of radiation.
Accurately speaking, their gene fragments are too stable to be easily tampered with by radioactive materials.
Li Nuo can hold such a barrel of radioactive waste that makes humans terrified in his hand and play with it, even rub it into a "dung ball" and throw it on the stupid dog's face.
The stupid dog thought it was delicious, licked the green mud on his face into his mouth with his tongue, and then spit it out with a puff, and left in despair.
Li Nuo smiled, picked up the iron bucket and walked into the idle planting house, officially starting the simulation.
"System, select aquatic bacteria to adsorb the radioactive material in the light water radioactive material."
[Simulation experiment parameters are set.]
[Day 1, you selected 100 domesticated aquatic bacteria hyphae as experimental subjects, and used light water radioactive material as a culture medium. The light water radioactive material comes with a certain amount of water and organic matter, so you do not need to prepare additional nutrients and irrigation water.]
[...]
[Day 172, the radioactive material, organic matter, and water in the light water radioactive material were all adsorbed by the aquatic bacteria.]
[You have obtained 12 severely mutated fungal samples.]
The 100 samples were sharply reduced to 12, and the 88 that were lost all died in the mutations caused by radiation.
The system interface shows a holographic image of the aquatic bacteria after the mutation. They are bright green, and they look very radioactive.
Li Nuo habitually aimed at the holographic image and launched the function of analyzing fungi.
When he saw the analysis result, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes slowly widened, and a sentence of "wow, damn" blurted out.
[Name: Mutated fungus with strong radiation.]
[Analysis result:]
[Compared with normal aquatic bacteria, the gene purity of this fungus is less than 10%.]
[It does not have saprophytic contamination, but it has extremely strong radioactivity.]
[Remove the radioactivity to complete the domestication.]
[Fungal ability: Irradiation technique.]
[Unlock requirement: 100 skill points. Remove radioactivity to complete the domestication. After domestication, the unlock requirement is reduced to 1 skill point.]
[Fungal ability effect: Consume a certain amount of this fungus to create a radiation source that can emit a large number of radioactive metal particles. The greater the amount of fungus consumed, the more radioactive metal particles the radiation source releases per unit time.]
Li Nuo stood up from the chair with a whoosh, his body shaking with excitement.
He originally wanted to find a way to purify light water radioactive material, but he never expected to create the "Gauss weapon" of the Space Necromancer.
The principle of Gauss weapons is:
Using a magnetic field to bind and accelerate metal particles, and emit them in a directional manner. (Note 1)
Metal particles are the bullets of Gauss weapons, and the magnetic field is the "gunpowder" that drives metal ions.
The smaller the size of the metal particles, the stronger the penetrating power of the beam emitted by the Gauss weapon. When the metal particles penetrate the target, they will leave the energy they carry in the target, thereby causing damage.
The biggest difficulty in making Gauss weapons is how to process the metal into particles with a sufficiently small diameter.
Now, it's good. I can create a radiation source that spews metal particles with just a snap of my fingers, completely skipping the metal processing process.
The destructive power provided by this is immeasurable.
Li Nuo went into the shack and rummaged around, finding a sample of the special weapon he made for the Black Knight.
This is a special laser weapon, the energy magazine is empty.
Li Nuo removed the focusing lens, installed the magnetic field coil made by mechanical witchcraft, locked the energy magazine with his mind, spent 100 skill points to unlock the new fungal ability, and launched the irradiation technique.
The radiation source appeared in the energy magazine, and radioactive metal ions followed the light path pipeline into the barrel, and then accelerated by the magnetic field coil outside the barrel.
Li Nuo aimed at the wooden wall of the shack and pulled the trigger.
"Buzzing, Piu ~"
A slender green light shot out from the muzzle and landed on the rough wooden board.
A standard circular micro-hole appeared, with a few radioactive green dots remaining on the edge.
Li Nuo approached to check the micro-hole, and was surprised to find that a small dot also appeared on the metal building outside the micro-hole.
Zarg seemed to have heard some movement, came to the metal building and stopped, staring at the small hole in the wall and scratching his head:
"What's going on? How is the boss's house broken? Who did it, stand up for me!"
"Cough cough." Li Nuo buckled the laser rifle on his waist and kicked open the door of the shack and walked out:
"Don't shout, Zarg. I invented a cool new thing and accidentally misfired."
"Aung, so you did it, then it's okay." Zarg shook his head and turned away.
Li Nuo observed the micro-hole on the metal wall, his eyes passed through it, and he could vaguely see the scene inside the house.
Awesome.
Really awesome.
This wall is at least ten centimeters thick, and it was penetrated like this.
If one ton of mutated mushrooms are consumed at one time, what will the damage be?
Li Nuo is going to transfer the radioactive waste from the Nest to his warehouse, all for cultivating mutated fungi.
Actually, to be honest, the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved at this point in the experiment.
Storing the mutated fungi that absorb radioactive materials in the fungal warehouse can solve the problem of the radioactive waste being about to burst the warehouse.
The only regret is that when cultivating mutated fungi, the fungi will absorb the water in the light water radioactive material.
Therefore, this solution can only be used to convert radioactive waste into Gauss weapon particle bullets, and cannot be used to obtain pure water.
Just as Li Nuo was about to "go offline", Zarg returned.
"Witch Priest, the boss called you, saying that the Blood Bull Warlord wants us to join them. The boss is thinking, we have to ask for your opinion on this matter."
Blood Bull Warlord?… Li Nuo looked up at the sky, only to realize that the ship he saw at the beginning of the simulation had stopped directly above the tribe's territory.
The Orc ships look strange, but their structure is particularly stable and can withstand atmospheric pressure and enter the atmospheric environment.
The bottom of the ten ships is not far from the ground. The Orcs in the territory can see the coating on the bottom of the ship at a glance. It is an image of ten Orcs in cow-horned helmets with blood in their mouths.
It is estimated that the Blood Bull Warlord came to recruit people because he found that the Iron Tribe's spaceship would be ready for use soon.
Li Nuo thought for a while, it is a big deal for the tribe to join the warlord, and he has to help Ailong advise him.
He temporarily suspended "going offline" and followed Zarg into Ailong's residence.
The Orcs don't have as many rules for meeting guests as humans. They can bring the guests to sit by the campfire and let the Gremlins bring wine and meat to start the banquet.
The Blood Bull Warlord's warlord came to recruit people in person.
That was a humanoid violent beast nearly five meters tall, with muscles so big that they were spicy to the eyes, and his shoulder width was twice that of Ailong's.
He cultivated hair squigs on his head, and the latter's dense body hair was dyed blood red, becoming the Orc's hair and beard.
A shiny black bull-horned helmet was set on his head, and two bull horns pointed to the ceiling like pigtails.
