I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

【You have spent 1 million simulation points to redeem reward 5.】

【You triggered offline retrieval and learned the Ork Goggles blueprint.】

The knowledge of Mechanicus witchcraft surged in his mind, causing Li Nuo to feel slightly dazed before regaining his senses.

Ork Goggles are a technological creation of the Orks.

To use these goggles openly and protect Hive Prime, they must first be "laundered."

This process is similar to laundering the Water Sprout fungus bioreactor.

The "laundering" process involves replacing the parts of the Ork Goggles that use universal psionic materials with parts that can be independently produced and assembled by Hive Prime's industrial facilities.

While reading the newly acquired blueprint in his mind, Li Nuo compared it to the logic conduits in his mindscape, contemplating a laundering plan.

Tidor wasn't very interested in the mental conduits, so she simply found Jersey to chat with in a low voice.

The two left Li Nuo by the display case in the mindscape, wandering around and chatting in the showroom.

Li Nuo found a line of thought in his contemplation.

The core technology for the Mechanicum to control servitors is related to an implant called the "Decision Module."

This involves surgically removing part of the brain tissue, causing the servitor to lose emotional capabilities while retaining basic thinking abilities.

On this basis, a Decision Module is installed, which then makes decisions for the servitor.

By inputting wireless commands into the Decision Module, the Tech-Priest can control the servitor.

A sample of the Decision Module is in a display case near the mindscape.

This is a metal block the size of a fingernail, with electrodes on both sides and a tiny wireless signal antenna in the middle of the front casing.

The display case's description says that this object will only receive wireless data using a specific encryption method.

As long as the data is packaged using a specific encryption method, it can be captured, unpacked, and read by the Decision Module, thus becoming the servitor's action instructions.

Li Nuo nodded thoughtfully, having an idea in mind.

Making the Ork Goggles emit the correct encrypted data would allow the goggles to control combat servitors.

Achieving this would allow the mindscape to be perfectly replaced by Greenskin technology.

Li Nuo found Tidor and Jersey chatting in a corner and suggested discussing a combat servitor customization plan.

The three moved to the reception room and discussed for more than three hours, reaching a preliminary trade agreement.

The servitor workshop, used for maintaining combat servitors, would occupy at least 3,000 square meters, with the equipment purchase and workshop construction costs offset by synth-starch.

At least two Tech-Priests would be responsible for maintaining the servitors.

Jersey suggested that her students take on the maintenance work, which would provide them with practical opportunities.

Jersey currently has fifteen students.

They were born in cultivation facilities on Mars.

It only took them two years to grow from embryos to the physique of a 15-year-old.

After leaving the cultivation facility, they underwent hormone and nerve regulation to quickly master the basic knowledge of the Mechanicum.

Due to the excellent effects of the regulation, these artificially cultivated products were favored by Mechanicus Magi and experts, becoming their students.

The two students Jersey recommended, one male and one female, have already become low-ranking priests and appear to be just over 20 years old, but in reality, they have only lived in this world for a total of 7 years at most.

The two students partially inherited Jersey's style, disliking chanting hymns to the Machine God and preferring to diligently tighten screws.

Jersey didn't explicitly say this.

After all, in this day and age, not worshiping the Machine Spirit is heresy.

"Ladies, my students don't like being disturbed while working. Therefore, I suggest you try not to set foot in the servitor workshop. Only in this way can my two students fully exert their talents inside."

"No problem, madam."

Li Nuo paused and asked:

"I wonder if you still remember the Bone Drinker plague that occurred in the Nidalavin Sector?"

The governor of the Nidalavin Sector is gone, and the sector's name has not been changed for the time being, so it can continue to be referred to by the former sector governor's surname.

Jersey's Akashic Reader obtained two prophecies from the Warp, the first of which was related to the Nidalavin Sector.

This prophecy helped the xenos physiologist Morg in the sector discover the fact that some of the sector governor's confidants had been infected by the Bone Drinkers.

"Of course, I remember this matter." Jersey leaned back in the sofa, crossed her arms, and crossed one leg, asking:

"Are you worried that your Hive Prime will be infiltrated by Bone Drinkers?"

"That's right, madam, this is what I've been worried about lately." Li Nuo clicked twice on his datapad, opening a pre-edited document:

"I have carefully studied the historical records of the Bone Drinkers. I have discovered that our current scanning methods and prevention methods may have some problems. Regarding these problems, I have put forward my own hypotheses and would like to ask you to help verify their feasibility."

Jersey extended a mechanical tendril from her cloak.

The end of the tendril was a data interface, and after inserting it into the datapad, Jersey read Li Nuo's hypotheses in 0.1 seconds.

"Your thinking has some depth, and the feasibility of the hypotheses is higher than I expected."

Jersey retracted her tendril, pinched her chin with her fingers, and said thoughtfully:

"The first hypothesis is that Bone Drinkers may avoid bio-identification by changing their metabolic products. This hypothesis is valid. I can think of three ways to change metabolic products, each of which can bypass existing bio-identification methods."

"The second hypothesis is that Bone Drinkers, as fungal xenos, can be killed by mycophage viruses. Could a mycophage virus that is harmless to humans, plants, and animals, but lethal to Bone Drinkers, be used to create a vaccine to inoculate humans in advance to prevent Bone Drinker infection?"

"This hypothesis is theoretically feasible, but the difficulty is very high. The gene fragments of the virus are unstable and may change during transmission, for example, from only killing fungi to posing a life threat to humans."

"The third hypothesis is whether the Bone Drinker's psychic network can be blocked by physical means…"

Jersey analyzed each of Li Nuo's hypotheses one by one, giving her own opinions.

After Li Nuo waited for the other party to finish speaking, he took the opportunity to put forward the true purpose of his trip:

"Madam Jersey, I would like to ask you to upgrade the bio-identification database, invent a vaccine to kill Bone Drinkers, and find a way to block the Bone Drinker's psychic network. I am willing to pay throne gelt or synth-starch for this. The price is negotiable."

After saying this, Li Nuo inevitably became nervous.

Whether his mouthpiece plan can succeed depends on whether Jersey agrees to take on this big deal.

Li Nuo had calculated the cost before coming.

The cost of upgrading the bio-identification database should be 200,000 throne gelt per month.

As long as the money keeps coming, the database can be upgraded continuously until the Bone Drinkers are completely wiped out.

Li Nuo has the recipe for the Bone Drinker-killing vaccine, but he can't take it out for the time being.

He plans to act as Jersey's source of inspiration, finding opportunities to throw out the key materials in the recipe, greatly shortening the vaccine development process.

For example, the most critical material—the mycophage virus TT011-PSV.

If Jersey starts with this virus, it can save at least 30% of the development process.

The only project that Li Nuo can't help with is blocking the Bone Drinker's psychic network.

This project involves a piece of military equipment that is strictly controlled by the Mechanicum, called the Psychic Communication Blocking Barrier.

When the Eighth Legion and the Space Wolves besieged the Bone Drinkers, they mass-equipped this device to block the Bone Drinker's psychic network.

The reason why it is strictly controlled is that it cannot be easily accessed by the Bone Drinkers, otherwise it may be cracked by the Bone Drinkers.

Jersey is a high-ranking Tech-Priest of the Mechanicum and has enough authority to produce a noble custom version of the Psychic Communication Blocking Barrier.

"I accept your proposal, however, regarding the remuneration, I have a request."

Jersey's eyes flickered behind her sunglasses, and she said with a smile:

"Don't you have an Umbrella Corporation under your name that is responsible for making money? I want shares in this group, at least 5%."

The profits that Umbrella can create in the future by relying on synth-starch and refined promethium can be described as astronomical.

According to Li Nuo's plan, before the Horus Heresy arrives, Umbrella's average annual net profit can reach 400 million throne gelt.

5% of 400 million throne gelt is 20 million.

Jersey's appetite is not small.

Li Nuo said with some embarrassment:

"Madam, Umbrella's current profit-making project is mainly synth-starch. But half a year later, after the starch recipe is sold, Umbrella will begin to intervene in the promethium refining industry. Lord Vaugir's rebuilt Granite Planet 5 will provide Umbrella with extremely cheap promethium ore. At that time, Umbrella's net profit level may be several times higher…"

The implication is that even if the combat servitor order and the Bone Drinker-related orders are all added up, they are not comparable to the future value of Umbrella's 5% stake.

Jersey knew what Li Nuo meant.

She supported her chin with one hand, rubbed her fingers with the other, and summoned the servo-skull.

A document composed of a holographic image was projected in front of Li Nuo.

"I won't let you suffer a loss. This is the forging service that I and my forge city can provide. As long as you give me 5% of the shares, you can enjoy these forging services for a long time."

Li Nuo stared intently at the holographic document, secretly excited.

His embarrassment was feigned, the purpose of which was to advance by retreating, firmly binding Jersey to his chariot.

In fact, Jersey also had the idea of joining Epitome.

What she valued was the constant stream of Throne Coins entering the account, which would provide surging power for her research work.

This can be seen from the content of the document.

From heavy weapons controlled by the Mechanicus to customized power armor, to the long-term upgrading of hive city security equipment, all options appeared in the document.

The only requirement was 5% of Umbrella's shares.

As long as the monthly expenses did not exceed the dividends brought by the 5% shares, Li Nuo would not have to pay extra fees for this.

Li Nuo and Ti Duo looked at each other, and both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"Okay, madam, 5% of the shares, no problem. It is our honor to cooperate with a high-ranking Mechanicus adept in forging and biochemical modification like you."

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba_dot_com!

Li Nuo said a series of bright words, and Ti Duo followed with a compliment, which Jersey accepted with a smile.

The three of them drafted the final version of the transaction plan in the reception room.

After Li Nuo and Ti Duo confirmed that there were no errors, the three of them signed on the spot to make it effective.

At this point, Li Nuo welcomed his first Mechanicus who had formed a stable cooperative relationship with him.

Later that day, Li Nuo and Ti Duo set sail for home, returning to the hive city on a Mechanicus Lunar-class cruiser.

It was already three o'clock in the morning after midnight when they returned to the Wangting District.

Five days had passed since Voges went to Granite 5.

Li Nuo began to take on the affairs of the Governor at the beginning of the year, and so far he has been working well with the heads of various important departments.

Even if Voges was not sitting in the Wangting District, the daily affairs of the hive city were still in a stable state of operation.

It is estimated that later today, Shatana will receive a psychic message from the 131st Regiment, confirming whether Voges has safely arrived in the planetary orbit of Granite 5.

Li Nuo sent Ti Duo into her residence and returned to his own residential area alone.

Wick and Madson were guarding the door tonight.

Madson was originally a member of the 8th Guard.

After the Planetary Defense Forces were brought under control, the 8th Guard no longer needed to closely monitor the movements of the Planetary Defense Forces.

Under Li Nuo's arrangement, the personnel of the 8th Guard were dispersed to other guards.

Madson was the 8th Guard member who first received Voges' order and came to test Li Nuo.

He was immobilized by Li Nuo with Brain Freeze, and Li Nuo put a knife on his neck, almost losing his life. Fortunately, he proved his identity in time to save his life.

Every time he met Li Nuo, Madson would salute him with a hint of awe.

"Good evening, sir."

Wick, who was on the side, winked at Li Nuo and said, imitating Madson's tone:

"Good evening, sir~"

Wick had known Li Nuo for a long time and was the most relaxed when getting along with him, but when he should be serious, he was still very serious and would not slack off at all.

Li Nuo smiled at the two people at the door and stepped into the Catalyst Laboratory.

When passing through the laboratory, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the potted plant in the corner, and exclaimed softly:

"Amy?"

"Oops, how did you find me? That idiot Wick, I sneaked in right in front of him, and he didn't react. But why can you detect my existence so quickly?"

The light and shadow near the potted plant changed slightly, and a figure stood out from the mosaic-like light curtain.

This person was Amy, who perfectly blended herself with the environment using an optical cloak.

The girl maintained her chubby round face, cute with heroism. The expression changes between her eyebrows and Delton were getting more and more alike, and her height had increased from 1.6 meters half a year ago to 1.7 meters now.

She opened the optical cloak, took off her helmet and held it in her arms, looking up and down at Li Nuo:

"I thought you would be tired and slack off because you came back so late, but I didn't expect you to be so energetic. I'm relieved now."

"You're relieved? Relieved about what?"

Li Nuo thought for a moment, then understood:

"I see, are you learning from your father's childhood methods? Looking for loopholes in the duties of the guard?"

"Yes. This is much more interesting than reading books."

Amy raised her eyebrows towards the door, tightened the lines of her face, and said with a serious face:

"We have to upgrade the agent's scanners. Their scanning accuracy is a bit low and cannot identify optically cloaked units with a moving speed of less than one meter per second. This is the first loophole. The second loophole is, why isn't there a scanner installed in your Catalyst Laboratory? I've been here for so long, and I've only collected Brandy's scanning signal. No other scanning signals have appeared. This is too lax."

"."

Li Nuo didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, the Black Knight's finder was working and had already discovered Amy's existence.

It was only because Amy's biometrics and agent identification code were defined as friendly that she was not expelled by the Black Knight.

As for why Amy only collected Brandy's scanning signal and did not find the finder.

The reason is very simple.

The Black Knight's finder was protected by the "Mao Ge Quietly" force field, and its scanning signal was disguised as the electromagnetic signal of scientific research equipment.

If this could be discovered by Amy, then how could "Mao Ge Quietly" be worthy of the name "Mao Ge".

Mao Ge is the best at sneaking and hiding.

Li Nuo waved his hand and replied:

"Upgrade the agent's armed scanning accuracy, wait for Jersey's students to come, and you can discuss it with them. I don't need to install additional scanners here, I'll tell you the specific reason later. It's you, Amy, why aren't you sleeping so late? Can you still get out of bed on time to go to school?"

Amy twitched the corner of her mouth and cut off disdainfully:

"Today is the weekend, okay? No school."

"Oh, well, after becoming the Governor, I have to work every day, so it's normal to not remember which day is the weekend. I'm going to rest first."

Li Nuo explained casually and walked towards the gate of the residence.

"Then I'm going to rest too."

Amy put on her helmet, put the optical cloak on her shoulders, and walked out of the laboratory gate openly.

Wick thought it was Li Nuo who came out, but who would have thought it was Amy, and he was immediately frightened into "vibrating his knife":

"Hey, I'm going. When did you go in?"

"Guess, if you guess right, I'll tell you."

Amy smiled, put on her helmet, activated optical stealth, and left silently.

Wick and Madson at the door looked at each other.

The two discussed for a while and made adjustments to the guard duty.

The next morning, Li Nuo went to the office to slack off before going out.

When the laboratory door opened, he saw two backs blocking the door.

Wick and Madson turned around and touched the door frame with their hands, making sure that only Li Nuo was entering and exiting before giving way to the door.

This method of dealing with invisible enemies is stupid, but it is undeniable that it is very useful.

The surrounding air appeared wrinkled in the hazy light, Amy opened her cloak, revealed her figure, and frightened Wick and Madson again.

"Not bad, not bad."

Amy nodded slowly, looking like a little ghost with many ideas, and re-entered stealth with affirmation of Wick and Madson.

Li Nuo smiled without saying a word and walked towards the office.

After the office door opened, he snapped his fingers, vibrating the air behind him.

"Poof."

A crisp sound.

Li Nuo stepped into the door, and the air behind him knocked on the invisible object like a hammer, knocking Amy out of optical stealth.

Amy muttered with her helmet covered.

"What Dad said is true, Li Nuo is about the same age as me, but he is more cautious and experienced than he looks on the surface, and his mental age is equivalent to an old man in his thirties or forties."

Li Nuo's hearing was greatly enhanced by the alchemy potion.

He heard Amy's muttering, and couldn't help but have a black line on his head…

What is a mental age of thirty or forty.

According to the age before the time travel, I am at most twenty-eight, okay?
