I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

"Mona."

Li Nuo stepped into the Catalyst Lab, quickly sketching out electromagnetic grenades and timed detonators.

The wiring connecting the grenades and detonators, along with the colors and sequence of the connections, were also precisely depicted.

"Take a look, how can we stop this thing from exploding?"

Li Nuo placed the finished drawing in front of Mona.

Mona glanced at the contents of the paper, picked up a pencil, and marked an 'X' on one of the lines:

"It should be this line; try cutting it."

"Try? Are you saying you can't guarantee it's 100% correct?" Li Nuo asked.

"Yes." Mona twirled the pencil between her fingers, then marked another 'X' on a different line:

"This line might also work. But, to be honest, if the person who set this timed bomb really wanted it to explode, you wouldn't be able to stop it.

Cutting any line won't work, and neither will disarming the timer."

Li Nuo lacked professional knowledge in this area and couldn't help but ask:

"Why is that?"

"Because the detonation principle of this type of timer is related to the current intensity. When the current inside the timer changes, the bomb will automatically detonate.

Whether the countdown ends or a cable is cut, it will cause the current to change."

Seeing that Li Nuo was very anxious, Mona sped up her speech:

"If you really want to prevent this bomb from exploding, you need to find a programmable power supply first, obtain the timer's current parameters, input the parameters into the programmable power supply, and use it as the timer's emergency power source.

When the countdown ends, the timer will cut off the current in the main circuit, detonating the bomb. But with the emergency power supply, the current in the wiring won't be interrupted, and the bomb won't detonate due to current changes."

"I understand now." Li Nuo clapped his hands, his eyes lighting up:

"So, after connecting the emergency power supply, it's okay if I cut all the wires, right?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Mona raised an eyebrow, "You just said you wanted to cut all the wires? What do you mean?

Did you make a bomb in your private lab?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, I'm a law-abiding citizen." Li Nuo waved his hand, turned around, and returned to his private lab, logging into Bond's "account."

With a blink of an eye, his consciousness returned to the Special Ops Kid - Bond.

Li Nuo found repair tools and scrap from the servitor and activated Mechanical Witchcraft.

When making the Water Ball Fungus Bioreactor, one step was to create an orc tech power device.

Li Nuo extracted this step separately and created a Green Skin Power Source on the spot, carrying the versatile psionic material.

The Green Skin Power Source isn't a programmable power supply, but its function is far more powerful than a programmable one.

The versatile psionic material within can automatically adjust the current parameters, ensuring the power supply's current always matches the device's needs.

Li Nuo used wiring to connect the Green Skin Power Source to the timer, temporarily setting up an emergency power supply for it.

The countdown decreased at a steady pace, going from two minutes to 45 seconds.

The timer was connected to four grenades via fifteen wires.

Li Nuo held the scissors to these fifteen wires, took a deep breath, and cut all the wires.

Praise Green Skin technology!

Mona was right!

After installing the emergency power supply, it's okay to cut all the wires!

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief but didn't dare to relax.

He carefully removed the four grenades, used the wiring as safety pins, and installed temporary safety locks on the grenades.

Li Nuo retrieved "Mao Ge's Black Fur" from the fungal warehouse, applied anti-detection coating to the grenades, timer, and Green Skin Power Source, and used rope buckles to secure them to his body.

Objects close to the body's surface can enter an invisible state under the effect of Fungus Ability - Optical Invisibility.

After a series of operations, the traces at the scene were erased, and the grenades, timer, and Green Skin Power Source entered optical invisibility along with Li Nuo.

Li Nuo activated Fungus Ability - Vibration Sensing, quickly capturing the surrounding sounds.

A large number of footsteps appeared about two thousand meters away diagonally above, sounding like magnetic boots stepping on marble floor tiles; this should be the Arbitrator team rushing to the scene.

Three hundred meters away diagonally below, Maggie was frantically shouting, seemingly conducting internal communication.

"Forget what the Enforcement Department says! Send a shuttle to pick me up quickly! Hurry! I've reached the emergency exit at the bottom! I'll explain to the Governor what's going on!

Just come and get me! Hurry!"

Maggie was anxious and flustered, even swearing.

After hanging up the internal communication, he cursed in his helmet:

"Damn it! If I had enough parasitic spores on hand, I would have transformed the entire Space Guard into Bone Drinkers already! How could you guys dare to go against me! Fuck!"

Li Nuo followed Maggie's voice, left the engine room, and found the entrance to the secret passage that Maggie had forcibly broken open.

This secret passage led downwards, and the strong promethium scent rushed upwards with the airflow.

Li Nuo squeezed in and quickly descended along the narrow passage.

Maggie's voice became closer and closer.

After turning a right-angle bend, Li Nuo saw Maggie's figure and quickly stopped.

Not far ahead was a small dock where a shuttle could be parked.

The external hatch had been opened, and the personnel shuttle was parked on the dock's platform.

The external hatch closed, the internal airlock opened, and Maggie ran out, boarding the ship at top speed.

Li Nuo sprinted with all his might, following Maggie into the shuttle's rear compartment.

"Mao Ge's Black Fur" could only shield electromagnetic detection methods, not eliminate vibrations.

Li Nuo tried to lighten his footsteps as much as possible while running, but he still made some noise when entering the shuttle.

Maggie's equipment was relatively heavy, causing a metal plate to deform, and two screws popped out of the plate during the deformation, causing the metal plate to loosen.

Li Nuo ran too fast, and by the time he noticed the metal plate was loose, it was too late; he stepped on it directly.

"Creak." A crisp sound rang out.

It was this faint noise that was captured by Maggie's audio implant.

Maggie raised his gun, tensed his body, adopted a focused and alert posture, and carefully observed the shuttle's rear compartment, following the direction of the sound signal, but didn't find any uninvited guests.

The shuttle's pilot shouted from the front compartment:

"Sir, we're preparing to take off, hold on tight! The enforcers have surrounded our ship, there might be some bumps along the way!"

"Stop talking nonsense, take off quickly!" Maggie urged, repeatedly activating the scanner, searching for suspicious traces.

A beeping scanning sound came from his body, and a circle of scanning force fields spread outwards, but didn't capture any abnormal signals.

Maggie opened the audio implant's scanning record, confirming that the audio implant had recorded an unusual sound that shouldn't have existed.

The directional data of the scanning record showed that the unusual sound came from a metal floorboard missing two screws.

Maggie walked over and stepped on the floorboard with his foot.

He found that he had to put at least half of his body weight on it to make the floorboard make noise.

So, that sound couldn't have been made for no reason!

It seemed like some invisible ghost thing had boarded the ship!

Maggie only felt his hair stand on end, and his heart couldn't stop fluttering with fear.

"Pilot, check the shuttle's load, quickly, check the shuttle's real-time load."

The pilot controlled the shuttle to leave the space station, flying in space.

After hearing Maggie's order, he tapped on the touchpad.

The shuttle performed a load self-check, and a string of data appeared on the screen.

"Report, the rated load mass is 1000 kilograms, the actual load mass is 365 kilograms."

"365 kilograms…" Maggie calculated his own weight and asked:

"What is your mass?"

The pilot replied:

"Including all my equipment, it should be around 130 kilograms."

Maggie's heart skipped a beat.

Li Nuo's heart also skipped a beat when he heard their conversation.

Maggie was wearing carapace armor without auxiliary energy modules, which at most weighed 200 kilograms.

The pilot was 120 kilograms, plus Maggie's 200 kilograms, which equals 320 kilograms.

The extra 45 kilograms must be the mass of his body.

"Damn it, there's someone else on board!" Maggie cursed under his breath, standing with his back against the wall, his eyes moving inch by inch, feeling like he had seen a ghost.

Thinking about it, it was true; if he encountered an enemy who clearly had mass but couldn't be seen, he would probably be scared like this too.

"Who are you? A psionicist? A Dark Eldar? A Ranger of the Craftworld Eldar? A Soul Spirit?"

Psionicists might master psionic powers that can make them invisible.

Some Dark Eldar single-soldier shields have cloaking effects and good defensive performance.

The Craftworld Eldar urge every member to embark on their favorite Path.

The so-called Path can be understood as a profession in a game.

Ranger is one of the Paths that the Craftworld Eldar can choose, proficient in stealth, assassination, and infiltration.

Soul Spirits are soul beings that don't have mass themselves but can use psionic means to give themselves mass and a body that can be touched.

For a commander of a Star Sector Governor's Space Marine force, he certainly showed some insight to rattle off so many speculations in one breath.

Just as Maggie was about to meticulously search every corner of the shuttle, he suddenly turned his head towards the space station, his pupils dilating violently:

"You actually disarmed my time bomb!! Damn it! Just what are you? I'll kill you! Die! Die!"

Maggie raised his laser rifle and fired wildly, appearing utterly deranged, his screams rising in intensity.

Li Nuo lowered his center of gravity, sticking close to the ground and swiftly maneuvering, narrowly avoiding the hail of gunfire whizzing over his head.

The pilot noticed the commotion in the rear cabin and hurriedly shouted:

"Commander! What are you doing! Don't shoot! This shuttle is old and in disrepair, it can't handle the abuse!"

Maggie paused his firing, his face etched with conflict.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

To be precise, it was Black Scythe 1, controlling Maggie, who was in a dilemma.

Black Scythe 1 was considering how to recover from the loss.

In his original plan, the time bomb would detonate the reactor, and the massive plasma explosion would obliterate the space station and the breeding machines into cosmic dust.

Maggie's actions in destroying the space station would be deemed a heinous crime, and Black Scythe 1 intended to order the Space Marines to follow him to the edge of the star sector.

There, the Black Scythe Group's fleet was waiting.

The Black Scythe Group's navigators would replace the Space Marines' navigators, guiding the Space Marines into the Black Scythe Group's territory.

From then on, this Space Marine force would become a part of the Black Scythe Group.

As for how to absolve Nidelaven XV and his eldest son from the act of destroying the space station, this could be achieved through righteous extermination of family members, such as proactively providing the Enforcement Department with evidence of the eldest son's collusion with the alien civilization.

As long as the Governor continued to pay taxes, the Empire was unlikely to remove Nidelaven XV from his position as Star Sector Governor.

But now, the space station hadn't been blown up, the breeding machine containing the Bone Drinker gene template had fallen into the hands of the Enforcement Department, and his disguise as the Space Marine commander was also ruined.

This triple blow completely stunned Black Scythe 1, rendering him incoherent, so much so that he didn't even notice that the shuttle had entered the Space Marine ship.

Li Nuo didn't care about any of that.

As soon as the rear hatch of the shuttle opened, he scurried down, found a safe place in the dock, and stayed there.

"Commander? Why aren't you coming down?" Outside the shuttle, the Space Marine deputy commander looked at the dazed Maggie in confusion.

The rest of the Marine members wore similar expressions.

Under their gazes, Maggie's knees weakened, and he slowly knelt on the ground, placing his hands together in front of him, muttering some words of prayer.

This scene made everyone even more perplexed.

"Commander, this is heretical behavior..."

"Yes, Commander, we are the Emperor's people, we do not pursue illusory beliefs and gods."

Maggie ignored them, simply praying incessantly.

Gradually, an unsettling atmosphere grew, and everyone felt that something was watching them.

In Maggie's eyes, the surrounding environment became dim, and the Lord's Prophet—Zealphix, the Shadow Weaver—appeared in a blue-purple glow.

"What is it now?" Zealphix preened its feathers with a beak curved like a crescent moon, its sharp voice carrying an impatient tone.

"Prophet of my Lord, I encountered a damned, invisible piece of trash that disrupted all my plans..."

Maggie recounted the events of the night.

Upon hearing that the breeding machine had fallen into the hands of the Empire, and that it contained the Bone Drinker gene template, Zealphix's feathers burned like flames, the blue-purple flames instantly enveloping its body.

Zealphix tilted its head, its sharp gaze piercing through the barriers of dimensions, deeply observing the physical universe space around Maggie.

Anyone who was swept by its gaze involuntarily felt a chill in their body, sensing an utter coldness, yet not knowing where it came from.

As a daemon of the Warp, blessed by Tzeentch, Zealphix possessed the ability to see through the web of fate and the direction of life.

With just one glance, it could understand the past and future of everyone present.

It did not see the invisible being Maggie described.

At the same time, it had unwavering confidence in its own observational abilities, never imagining that there could be a creature in this world that it could not see.

"You are wrong, Black Scythe, terribly wrong. The bitter fruit of tonight was entirely of your own making. Why did you set the bomb with a two-minute countdown? Why didn't you let it detonate immediately?!"

"Prophet of my Lord, I wanted to preserve this body, it could bring me value."

"Bring you value?! What about my Lord?! Do you know how much can happen in two minutes! Are you sure the servitors in the engine room were all killed? Are you sure no servitors were hiding in the corners?! Are you sure that the servitor hiding in the corner couldn't dismantle your bomb?! Answer me loudly, Black Scythe!"

A series of pressing questions filled Black Scythe with dread.

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked many, many details.

Yes, he had indeed planted the bomb, but he had not checked whether there were any servitors still alive inside or outside the engine room.

As long as one servitor was alive, the time bomb could be dismantled.

"But, Prophet of my Lord! I clearly heard that strange noise when I boarded the shuttle!"

"Silence!" Zealphix roared, blue-purple flashes appearing in its deep eyes:

"I have seen your past, Black Scythe. I saw the process of you boarding the shuttle. It was you who stepped on that metal plate and caused the deformation, it was you who caused the screws on the metal plate to come loose, it was you who made it make that strange noise! There was no invisible being at all, none!"

Black Scythe stubbornly roared:

"How do you explain the shuttle's actual mass data!? The data clearly showed 45 kilograms more!?"

Zealphix turned its head to look at the shuttle's control panel, and keenly noticed that the machine spirit of this shuttle was groaning with age.

This sight was not caused by Zealphix, but rather because this shuttle had long been in disrepair, so that the voice of the machine spirit had become old.

Zealphix looked at the mortal under its feet, its tone becoming chilling:

"The machine spirit of this shuttle is old, it gave out incorrect data, that is very reasonable. But you, Black Scythe, you have disappointed me."

"Prophet of my Lord... you... you..." Black Scythe sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy, too frightened to speak.

"It has been proven that spreading the Bone Drinkers on a large scale is a mistake. This method is too conspicuous and easily attracts the attention of the Human Empire. You should have adopted a more covert, more gentle approach, corrupting this vile nation little by little, disintegrating the foundations of the Curse little by little."

Zealphix's figure began to fade, as if it would disappear at any moment.

"I have changed my mind, Black Scythe. Someone will complete the mission for you, he will be more excellent than you, and closer to my Lord's intentions. You, have no value, embrace your end and your predetermined fate. Everything... is still within my plan!"

"Prophet! Prophet! Prophet!"

Black Scythe roared hoarsely, but only received a flash of light in return.

This light penetrated the dimensional barrier between the physical universe and the Warp, and shot into Black Scythe's brow.

His body melted in an instant, and in a few seconds turned into a grotesque substance that was difficult to describe.

Flesh squirmed, redundant limbs grew wildly, and distorted, changing noises swept through the audience like ocean waves.

"Puff puff puff puff puff — — — —"

The crew members who directly witnessed this scene spat out blood wildly, and the blood in the sky gathered towards the grotesque substance.

The ship's machine spirit let out a painful howl, and all the electronic devices on the scene failed at the same time.

Just then, eight grenades flew out in unison and landed on the rapidly forming grotesque substance.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang — — — — — —"

A series of explosions reverberated through the dock, and the grotesque substance was swallowed by magma and flames.

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, he had timely destroyed a Chaos Spawn that was about to take shape.

However, he forgot that the grenades were detonated inside the shuttle.

The shuttle's engine was ignited, and an even more dazzling light appeared!

"Boom — — — —"

Bright blue plasma sparks filled the dock, and the shuttle parked next to it exploded in sympathy.

"Boom — — — —"

"Boom — — — —"

"Boom — — — —"

A series of explosions occurred, and the shuttles turned into plasma fireballs one after another.

The ship's Tech-Priests monitored the strong explosion signal and immediately activated the isolation device to prevent the strong electromagnetic propagation caused by the plasma explosion from reaching the ship's engine room.

The violent vibration spread throughout the ship like an electric shock.

When the vibration disappeared and the plasma explosion signal approached 0, the dock's isolation device was released.

When the Fire Warden and the Tech-Priests arrived here, everything in the dock had been completely charred.

Apart from the strong burnt smell, only darkness lingered in this place.
