I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

While learning to command agents, Li Nuo was also doing another thing.

That was to create a new Black Knight.

Between the possibility of the Black Knight being discovered by the Empire and the death of Tido's father, Li Nuo hesitated for a long time, and finally chose the former.

He was willing to exchange the possibility of the Black Knight being discovered by the Empire for the safety of his father-in-law.

Accompanying the Black Knight to protect Voges was also the Special Ops Kid - Bond.

Of course, not the Bond who sacrificed himself in the Waaagh simulation last time, but a new generation of Special Ops Kid Bond, which can be defined as Bond Plus.

Bond Plus retains the original transformation ability.

On this basis, Li Nuo added a gene fragment from the Tech-Priest Kid to him.

When Li Nuo possesses Bond Plus, he can activate the 'I Think' power to search for mechanical witchcraft.

During offline periods, Bond Plus can independently use mechanical witchcraft to manufacture weapons, equipment, and ammunition.

In this way, Li Nuo can "play as soon as he logs in" without wasting time on logistics work.

After these two gene fragments were installed, Bond Plus's comprehensive combat capabilities soared.

Li Nuo felt that this was not enough.

He set his sights on Leia's bio-armor.

This thing was just too wonderful.

In passive defense mode, the bio-armor automatically reacts to attacks, and can also help the host avoid mutations caused by factors such as radiation, germs, and lasers.

After activating the active defense mode, the bio-armor covers the whole body, becoming the second line of defense under conventional protective gear, greatly improving survivability.

Li Nuo planned to replicate the bio-armor and install it on Voges before Voges set off.

To this end, he used the authority of the agent leader to give Leia a seven-day vacation, so that the other party could cooperate with him to crack the secrets of the bio-armor.

Leia herself also wanted to figure out where her bio-armor came from, and gladly accepted Li Nuo's proposal.

Inside the high-level medical room of the agent base, Leia lay on the diagnostic table, while Li Nuo was busy beside her.

Li Nuo slowly pushed the piston, inputting the liquid in the syringe into Leia's arm through a soft tube:

"Relax your arm, I'm injecting you with a metabolite tracer."

"Mmm hmm." Leia hummed softly in response.

After the tracer injection was completed, she asked curiously:

"What's the use of this medicine?"

Li Nuo explained while operating the data pad:

"Your bio-armor is a living thing, it has its own metabolic mechanism. Its metabolites will be excreted from the body together with your metabolites. I extracted the bio-armor's metabolites from your sweat. I found a compound in it that it has but you don't. The tracer can track this compound and mark its movement trajectory in your body with fluorescent substances."

"Oh, I see, no wonder you asked me to exercise in the training room for a while before coming over." Leia looked at Li Nuo, who was focused, and couldn't help but sigh:

"When I first traded milk mushrooms with you, I never thought that I would one day be able to enter the Upper Nest... How did you and Tido meet?"

The first half of the sentence was quite normal, but the second half started to develop towards gossip.

No wonder Mona and Leia had endless topics when they were together.

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly, he controlled the mechanical arm to take the developing lamp, let the lamp hover directly above Leia, and instructed:

"Maintain a lying position, take deep breaths actively, and accelerate your heartbeat and blood flow."

Leia opened her mouth and inhaled deeply, exhaling quickly, repeating this cycle more than a dozen times, and the heart rate displayed on the data pad increased significantly.

The developing lamp was turned on, and the light shone on Leia's white robe, highlighting dozens of lines of varying thickness.

These lines were the movement trajectories of the bio-armor's metabolites.

They surrounded Leia's body to form sealed coils, and the coils converged in the same place, which was Leia's abdomen.

"Here." Li Nuo pointed to Leia's stomach, "There may be a gland of the bio-armor here."

Leia looked down at the place Li Nuo pointed to, bared her front teeth, and was a little scared:

"You're not going to cut me open, are you? Are your skills up to par?"

Li Nuo gave Leia a roll of his eyes:

"What era is it, you don't need to cut someone open to see what's in their stomach."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Leia stared at Li Nuo's every move, watching the other party take out a slender needle tube, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and clenched the tablecloth under her with both hands.

But when the needle tube in Li Nuo's hand approached her abdomen, the bio-armor automatically reacted.

Silver-white fish scale patterns appeared on Leia's stomach, blocking the needle before it pierced her skin.

"Ding."

A crisp sound, followed by the sound of the needle breaking.

The first attempt to obtain the biological gland was declared a failure.

Li Nuo frowned slightly.

Leia breathed a sigh of relief and muttered:

"I was so nervous, I felt more nervous than giving birth."

Li Nuo chuckled, "Have you given birth?"

"No, but I've heard Mona describe it."

"Uh... has Mona given birth?"

"No, she also heard it from others."

"Ah, this... okay." Li Nuo took off the damaged needle and threw it away, crossing his arms and thinking carefully.

The sampling operation would cause very slight damage to Leia, and the bio-armor automatically reacted to this, blocking the needle.

Then what if Leia did it herself?

Li Nuo's eyes lit up, and he found the key point.

He took a new sampler and stuffed it into Leia's hand:

"Pierce into your stomach, just let the needle touch the gland of the bio-armor, don't use too much force. I only need a tiny bit of the gland's components to perform an examination."

Leia held the sampler, swallowing hard:

"Why don't you call Mona over to help? You're a big man standing here, I'm embarrassed to do it."

"Oh, that's okay too." Li Nuo thought for a while, turned and walked outside, asking the servo skull following him to call Mona.

After a while, Mona came to help.

After another while, with a scream coming from the medical room, the sampling work was declared complete.

Leia lay pale on the diagnostic table, weak and powerless, as if wandering on the edge of death.

Mona covered her with clothes and called Li Nuo in.

There was a tiny bit of silver-white substance on the needle of the sampler.

After Li Nuo entered the door, he cast a healing spell on Leia, and the other party's complexion quickly changed from pale to slightly rosy.

After Li Nuo confirmed that Leia was okay, he used the equipment in the medical room to perform an examination, pretending to be very busy, while aiming at the silver-white substance to activate the Appraisal Technique.

【Name: Fragment of a certain gene organ.】

【Description:】

【The fragment carries the gene sample of the gene organ, and the details can be obtained through gene analysis simulation. The silver scale armor generated by this gene organ is similar to the "Black Carapace" of the Space Marines.】

The Black Carapace can be understood as a "genetically modified version of armed clothing".

In the Middle Ages of Old Terra, knights used the rope buckles on their armed clothing to bind themselves to their armor, so as to better control the armor.

In the Warhammer world, the nerve nodes on the Black Carapace are the "rope buckles of the armed clothing".

After the nodes fit with the control system of the power armor, the nerve signals of the Space Marines will be synchronized to the control system of the power armor.

Therefore, the Space Marines can precisely control every component of the power armor, greatly improving the accuracy of their movements, and making them more flexible and agile in combat.

The system's Appraisal Technique said that the silver scale armor is similar to the Black Carapace, so does that mean that the silver scale armor also has a corresponding "power armor"?

Li Nuo increasingly felt that Leia's bio-armor was not simple.

He divided the silver-white substance into two, one part was put into the testing machine for testing, and the other part was sealed in a vacuum tank.

Using the substance in the vacuum tank as a simulation object, Li Nuo activated the Gene Analysis Simulation.

【Simulation parameters have been set.】

【Day 1, you use a single-molecule nucleic acid sequencer to obtain the gene code of the experimental object.】

【Day 15, sequencing completed.】

【You have obtained the gene sample of "Silver Scale Armor (provisional name)".】

【Details are as follows:】

【Name: Gene sample of Silver Scale Armor.】

【Analysis result:】

【This is a gene organ that combines fungal, plant, and animal genes, and can be implanted into human or humanoid organisms.】

【Its nutrition comes from the owner's fat, so it has a shaping effect. The owner's body fat percentage will always be maintained at the most appropriate level, unless there is severe malnutrition.】

Shaping?

Li Nuo turned his head to look at Leia, who was wiping sweat, and nodded secretly, it does have a shaping effect.

Leia had this figure when she was wandering in the ruins area, and it is still the same after going to the Upper Nest.

Changes in the environment and food have not affected her body shape at all.

This is the shaping effect of the silver scale armor.

Continue reading.

【The fungal gene fragment of the silver scale armor determines its reproduction method and living habits.】

【Plant genes determine its metabolism and appearance.】

【Animal genes determine its growth path.】

Wait, hold on?

Why do I feel like I've seen the same analysis results somewhere else?

Li Nuo thought of the orc gene sample.

The orc's fungal genes determine their reproduction methods and habits, plant genes determine their metabolism and appearance, and animal genes determine their physiological structure and growth path.

The silver scale armor and the orc's gene functions are, if not exactly the same, then pretty darn close.

Li Nuo opened the fungal gene fragment of the silver scale armor and quickly scanned it, and the content inside left him dumbfounded.

For example, these two.

[Gene Fragment: Frag000001]

[Function: This fragment determines the reproduction method of the silver scale armor.]

[The current reproduction method of the silver scale armor is "Non-Reproductive."]

The most up-to-date novels are available on 69shu.com!

[By modifying the gene code, you can switch between "Non-Reproductive" and "Spore Reproduction."]

[Gene Fragment: Frag000145]

[Function: This fragment determines the "recipe" of the silver scale armor.]

[The current "recipe" is: excess fat from the owner, carbohydrates, water, mineral elements, radioactive particles, sugar, alcohol, etc.]

[By modifying the gene code, you can add new items to the "recipe" or delete specified items.]

Wow, wow, wow.

If there weren't two ladies present, Li Nuo would have applauded the silver scale armor.

Such detailed genetic functions could never be produced by nature.

Considering that the silver scale armor, like the orcs, possesses fungal, plant, and animal genes simultaneously, Li Nuo strongly suspects that this is another creation of the ancient ones.

"Ding." The testing machine finished its work, and the form was printed out by a clerical servitor in the corner.

Li Nuo put the sample from the machine into a vacuum container, picked up the test results and glanced at them, pretended to think for a moment, and walked towards the door:

"Thank you both for your help, I have some ideas. Leia, rest well today, eat more of what you like. I'll look for you again tomorrow."

"Oh, okay." Leia smacked her lips, eager to move, she really felt a desire to eat from the inside out.

Meng Na helped her leave the medical room and sent her to rest in the dormitory.

In front of the elevator leading to the upper hive royal court area, Meng Na encountered Li Nuo waiting here.

Meng Na had been on guard duty before, wearing a special agent's armor.

She was quick-witted and guessed that Li Nuo wouldn't waste time here, that he must have something to ask of her, which was why he was taking the elevator with her.

Meng Na opened her helmet's visor and asked:

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Yes. Delton has a daughter named Amy. After she graduates from school, she will become a governor's agent and will eventually become a leader. I hope you can help me train her."

Meng Na twitched her eyebrows:

"If Amy becomes our superior, where will Delton go?"

Li Nuo shook his head:

"I don't know. But I feel like he won't stay here with us, he probably has other tasks to complete. It seems that even retired officers have a lot to worry about."

Li Nuo opened the elevator door and walked in with Meng Na:

"By the way, Meng Na. Regarding that burnt area on your forehead, do you have any plans to treat it?"

"I don't have any plans for now." Meng Na's tone was calm, but there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes, as if she had recalled some sealed memories.

Li Nuo recalled the historical information he had seen in the Thinker Array at the agent base and said:

"You were hit by a Wanse family's tranquilizer dart that night, which is why you couldn't save your family. The Wanse family is gone now. They received their due punishment. I don't think you need to keep that burnt skin to remind yourself to avenge your family anymore."

Meng Na was silent for a while, without saying a word, the elevator moved upwards along the track, and the lifting device hummed.

"I can understand your feelings. Using a form of self-punishment to keep yourself alert at all times, encouraging yourself to persevere a little longer when things are difficult. You implanted a taser in your head for the same reason."

Li Nuo shook the vacuum container in his hand, and the silver-white substance floated inside like shimmering stars:

"I need someone to help me experiment with the replica of the bio-armor. You and Wick are the most suitable. I believe you are also willing to participate in the experiment, right?"

"Yes, I am willing to participate in the experiment."

Li Nuo smiled gently:

"But the problem is that after implanting the replica of the bio-armor, that burnt area of yours will be repaired. So, I would like to ask for your opinion. Do you want to continue using that area to warn yourself, or give up that burnt area and instead master a power that can make you persevere a little longer in times of crisis?"

Meng Na stared at Li Nuo for a few seconds, then turned her head to the side:

"Alright, you've convinced me. How confident are you that the experiment will succeed in one go? I don't want to develop any underlying illnesses during the experiment."

"Ha, don't worry, the chances of success are so high that your scar will definitely disappear."

The elevator entered the upper hive area, and the artificial sunlight illuminated the platform and the slightly upturned corners of Meng Na's mouth.

After entering the mansion in the royal court area, Li Nuo asked Meng Na to explain the situation to Wick, while he stepped into the private laboratory.

Li Nuo began to frantically simulate, searching for a suitable gene expression vector.

After spending more than half a month like this, a gene expression vector that Li Nuo did not expect, but was within reason, almost perfectly replicated the bio-armor.

[Day 937412]

[You begin the 232201st experiment.]

[The gene editing tools, gene template, and main operating steps of this experiment remain unchanged.]

[The only variable is that you choose an orc spore as the gene expression vector.]

[This spore has been genetically modified and can only give birth to 1 life form.]

[This simulation experiment begins.]

[You treat the spore with lithium salt to increase the permeability of the spore's outer membrane, making it easier for the gene template to enter the spore...]

[Day 937419]

[The spore develops into a gene organ of the silver scale armor (replica).]

[After comparison, the gene purity of the gland is 99%.]

[The simulation experiment is successful.]

[Do you want to proceed with settlement?]

Li Nuo stared at the simulation information on the panel for half a minute before slowly recovering.

An orc spore did not develop into an orc, but instead turned into a gene organ.

This really exceeded Li Nuo's cognitive range.

But unexpectedly, the simulation experiment was successful.

Li Nuo frowned and pondered for a long time, and came to an uncertain conclusion:

Any gene template composed of fungal, plant, and animal genes may be able to use orc spores as an expression vector.

There are currently very few such gene templates, other than orcs and silver scale armor.

Wait until I obtain the same type of template in the future, and then conduct in-depth research.

Li Nuo confirmed the simulation settlement and obtained the gene organ.

He used the same simulation scheme to make twenty copies of the gene organ as backups.

Selecting one of the gene organs, he launched a new gene simulation.

In this simulation, Li Nuo tried to modify the gene fragment: Frag000145.

This fragment determines the "recipe" of the gene organ.

Li Nuo wanted to see if he could add the subspace energy single crystal to the "recipe."

This simulation experiment continued until midnight, and the final result left Li Nuo feeling both happy and worried.

The subspace energy single crystal can be included in the "recipe."

After the gene organ feeds on it, the silver scale armor that grows out will have a stronger chaos resistance.

The only bad thing is that the gene organ can eat too damn much.

600 kilograms of subspace energy single crystal can create 300 kilograms of full body armor, and the missing part flows back to the subspace in the form of energy.

The gene organ, on the other hand, eats 1 ton of single crystals, but only grows 20 kilograms of anti-chaos scales.

The defensive performance provided by this is less than 10% of the single crystal full body armor.

The input and output are simply a huge loss.

[Do you want to consume single crystals and gene organs to proceed with simulation settlement?]

No settlement, no settlement.

Whoever settles is an idiot.

Li Nuo decisively canceled the settlement and let the system put the single crystals used in the simulation experiment back into the fungal warehouse.

He currently only has 3 tons of single crystals available and cannot waste them on feeding the silver scale armor.

Li Nuo stretched in the private laboratory, preparing to go to the bedroom for Waaagh simulation, plant magical spores, supervise the green-skinned Palu digging vertical shafts, and incidentally tutor the beast in his "homework."

This kid Beast is fascinated by the work of compiling green-skinned laws, and is writing green-skinned legal provisions every day with reference to Makado's legal works.

Given time, he might really produce the first green-skinned legal work.
