I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#163 - It is imperative to suppress the rebellion at the speed of light

Hovendi Star Cluster, Granite Sub-Cluster, eponymous star system, Planet 5.

The subspace exit emerged in the void more than a thousand kilometers from the surface.

The Solar Army's 131st Regiment and the Epi-Mait auxiliary legion entered the real universe.

This fleet was led by an Opal Dragon-class battleship as the command ship, with the remaining ships being battlecruisers, frigates, and heavy transport ships.

The fleet, composed of more than thirty ships, completed self-checks and spatial information calibration in the void, and sailed towards Granite 5 in a steady posture.

Dense black clouds enveloped the planet, containing many dust and chemical pollutants, which came from the mining and pre-processing stages of promethium ore.

The violent airflow on the surface pushed the black clouds. Looking down from near-ground orbit, the clouds undulated violently like the sea, and large and small tornadoes formed spiral-shaped wind eyes.

In the endless black cloud sea, the orbital tower stubbornly stretched its spire out of the dark cloud mass.

The space dock around the spire had been blown up, the corridors were broken inch by inch, and the plastic steel floor was dragged in the air by steel cables, swaying in the wind.

Also swaying in the air were the corpses of the former planet governor's entire family, which had long been dried, blackened, and unrecognizable.

"My Terra, what a sin this is." Colonel Rahn sighed softly and said to several deputies below the command post:

"Turn the power of the Auger Array to maximum and scan every corner of this planet. Send a frigate to collect the corpses of the former governor's family, and be careful to identify whether it is a trap. Confirm safety before proceeding. Notify the bombardment formation to prepare for ground bombardment."

"Yes, sir." The Sound Array Master responded and opened the internal broadcast channel to convey Colonel Rahn's instructions.

A frigate left the formation under command and approached the spire of the orbital tower.

During the voyage, the frigate discovered explosives hidden in the corpses.

The ship's Mechanicus Priest manipulated the engineering mechanical arm outside the ship, remotely removed the bombs, took the corpses, and transported them back to the fleet.

The desecration of the corpses undoubtedly angered the fleet that came to quell the rebellion.

Their anger would follow the artillery fire from the sky, bringing death and repentance to the enemies on the surface.

However, the scanning results of the Auger Array were not good.

"Commander, the pollutants in the clouds have weakened the scanning intensity, but we still obtained the necessary information. The scanning results show that a large number of humanoid life forms are gathered in the main production facilities on the surface. I found that these people only have the simplest miner's clothes and simple mining tools, and they are not equipped with thermal weapons."

The Mechanicus Priest who controlled the Auger Array opened the holographic projection, presented the scanning results of the planet, and continued:

"As you can see, commander, in the underground mines, train tracks, dormitories, and workshops, I found many vague life signals. They carry weapons, ammunition, explosives, and seem to have plastic steel armor, and they are all in motion."

"In the deeper underground, that is, in the area below 100 meters, I did not find any signal sources. This is very abnormal. According to the layout of this planet, that place should be an underground warehouse for stacking promethium ore, which should have strong chemical signals. I reasonably suspect that someone has set up a signal jammer to avoid our scanning."

Hearing that the surface was full of unarmed humans, the air in the bridge became a little tense.

"The leader of this rebel army is unusual. He knows how to use civilians to resist orbital bombardment." Rahn pondered and looked at Delton in the other corner of the command post, wanting to hear what his old superior had to say.

Delton shrugged slightly at him:

"We'll listen to your arrangements, Colonel. I'm retired."

The ends of Rahn's goatee twitched slightly. He withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his back, and said solemnly to the crowd below the command post:

"New Marine Company, listen to the order. Send shuttles into the atmosphere and use broadcasts and wireless communications to guide the refugees on the surface to gather at the bottom of the orbital tower. Veteran Marine Company, prepare to drop from the sky and build a restricted area with a radius of thirty kilometers centered on the orbital tower. Marine Companies Two, Three, and Four, take shuttles to patrol in the air. If you find anyone carrying thermal weapons, immediately give a warning. If the warning is invalid, kill them on the spot..."

Rahn quickly gave the order, and the ships in the fleet began to move.

The Imperial Army's Marine Corps is responsible for combat in the atmospheric environment, including traditional land combat on the surface and aerial combat.

After Voges waited for Rahn to finish his orders, he stepped forward and whispered to the other party.

The first step in rebuilding the planet is to let the refugees on this planet know the name of the new governor and spread the new governor's mission to rebuild the planet.

In order to establish prestige and a positive image as soon as possible, Voges would have his guards bring the necessary supplies to the ground and distribute them in an orderly manner under the protection of the Marine Corps.

In addition, basic living facilities such as water purifiers, sewage pools, dry toilets, heaters, and medical stations will also be built by the Epi-Mait Auxiliary Army.

After the two discussed, Rahn issued formal combat orders to the Epi-Mait Auxiliary Army. The auxiliary army under Voges' command was ready to depart at any time.

The commander of the auxiliary army was Delton, not Voges.

Voges only knew about production and management and did not understand command.

Under Delton's arrangement, the veteran company of the auxiliary army was responsible for ground security, and the remaining companies were responsible for construction tasks. Voges' guards would communicate with potential leaders among the refugees in Voges' name.

In this way, the auxiliary army on the three heavy transport ships began to land.

The dark clouds and strong winds brought some trouble to the landing process, and the violent bumps almost frightened the auxiliary army who had never performed orbital deceleration.

Fortunately, everything was safe and sound, and no one was injured during the landing process.

Voges' personal guards were the 1st Governor's Guard.

This time they all came.

The captain of the guard was the man who Lino met at the door of the governor's office when he first met Voges.

After he arrived on the surface, he reached into his marching backpack a few times and took out a device similar to a drone.

After activating the device, the "drone's" fan blades rotated rapidly, ejecting a stream of air.

"Buzz— — — —"

The "drone" flew out like a missile and disappeared into the smog on the surface in a short while.

"Uh, Captain, what was that just now?" The team member asked with a dumbfounded expression.

The captain of the 1st Guard shook his head:

"That thing was something that Lord Voges asked me to release on the ground. It is said to be the vice governor's little invention. I'm not very clear about its purpose either."

The team member shrugged, "Oh, okay."

The captain took out the communicator and said to Voges on the bridge:

"Sir, the vice governor's device has taken off."

"Okay, I know." Voges turned off the communication and wrote a Star Language message on the data panel, which was sent to Epi-Mait by the fleet's Star Language team (Note 1).

...

...

Epi-Mait, Royal Court District, Shatana's Cottage.

Lino was processing the Star Language letters piled up at Shatana's place.

Since the sale of the synthetic starch formula spread from the Solar Star Territory to the other four star territories, new Star Language letters have been sent to Shatana every day.

Lino comes every few days to process them in batches, and discusses the details of the transaction plan with Shatana.

The transaction date has been determined, which is May 31 this year, one month earlier than the original plan at the end of June.

The transaction location is in the First District of Epi-Mait, Voges' guest manor.

That place once held a banquet for auctioning ghost mushrooms, and Lino was quite familiar with it.

Speaking of ghost mushrooms, Lino had to give himself a thumbs up for his wise decision.

Terra recently sent news that the experiment on ghost mushrooms had failed, and the Imperial Medical Department could not remove the negative effects of this mushroom.

The Legal Department's ban should be sent to the governors this month.

All those who receive the ban must obediently and voluntarily hand over the ghost mushrooms to the Legal Department.

From now on, anyone who secretly plants ghost mushrooms and makes ghost potions will wait to have their homes searched by the Legal Department.

Will those buyers who spent a lot of money to buy mushrooms have resentment towards Epi-Mait?

Didn't you publicize that the mushrooms would not be banned by the Legal Department?

It was because we listened to your nonsense that we spent a lot of money to bid for the mushrooms.

Isn't your Epi-Mait going to compensate a little money to show it?

Show a chicken feather.

The guys who publicized that the mushrooms would not be banned to you all died.

Want compensation? Okay, go down and ask them for it.

Lino has received no less than ten Star Language letters demanding compensation these days, all of which he has rejected.

There is no compensation, but you can get a small discount of several million Throne Coins when buying the starch formula.

With the letters coming and going, the people who demanded compensation became the buyers of the formula.

As of today, May 31st, the transaction volume reached 9.1 billion Throne Coins.

This amount of money is significant at the planetary governor level, but it's just a drop in the bucket at the sub-sector and sector levels.

But still, this is a huge fortune that Li Nuo wouldn't have dared to imagine before his transmigration, truly giving him the illusion of living in a dream.

"Alright, I've finally finished processing the accumulated letters from the past few days."

Li Nuo stood up from his desk, stretching his shoulders and neck.

Satana sat on the sofa knitting, suddenly emitting a faint psychic fluctuation, a subtle light flashing in her eyes.

"Li Nuo, there's news from your father."

Satana used telekinesis to control a pen and paper, writing down Voges' Star Language message.

Li Nuo read it once, a flash of joy in his eyes.

"They've finally arrived at their destination. Madam, I'll take my leave for now, I'll come back tomorrow to discuss the encryption coding."

Li Nuo bid farewell to Satana and returned to his office.

Tiddo now comes here every day to freeload on his "computer", spending 10 minutes processing official business, then half an hour checking the "computer's" processing results, and the rest of the time writing crisis plans for the Hive City.

Li Nuo told Tiddo about Voges' successful arrival at Granite 5, then found an excuse to enter the private laboratory.

He opened the system interface and selected the second reward from the Waaagh! simulation.

[Reward 2: Search for a specific Ork you designate and simulate it.]

[Please accurately describe the Ork you want to simulate.]

"A Kommandos that developed from a Kommandos spore."

Kommandos spores are an abbreviation for "Kommandos' reproductive spores," a name Li Nuo came up with himself.

[Searching for Orks related to the description.]

[...]

[Search complete.]

[Found 1 simulation object that meets the search criteria.]

Li Nuo nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, the small device he researched and manufactured was operating smoothly.

It was a miniature aircraft controlled by a Grot's brain, the external metal having anti-electromagnetic effects, immune to detection.

The interlayer of the metal shell had an anti-psychic lead layer, providing a second layer of anti-detection effect.

The aircraft contained the Kommandos' spores, as well as several alchemical potions related to development and growth.

In addition to these, Li Nuo also installed a "Breaker Bane" to ensure that when this thing was violently disassembled, it would blow up the contents and the disassembler together.

Such a device would become the starting point for him to accelerate the suppression of the rebellion on Granite 5.

Li Nuo didn't have the leisure to wait a year or two.

In his planned schedule, Granite 5 had to resume production before receiving the Throne Coins on May 31st, perfectly connecting with his plan to advance into the promethium industry.

"Time is money, my friend, let's get to work."

Li Nuo clicked on the search result and started the simulation.

[Calculating the simulation price.]

[Simulation object is a Kommandos, the starting price for the simulation is 10 Miracle Spores.]

[The simulation object has undergone deep genetic modification, its genetic purity is only 20% compared to a standard Kommandos, the simulation price increases by 500%.]

[The final simulation price is 20 * (1+500%) = 120 Miracle Spores.]

[Remaining simulation points: 1.74 million.]

[Number of Miracle Spores: 13353.]

[You consumed 120 Miracle Spores to start the simulation.]

His consciousness left his body and flew rapidly through the sea of stars.

Before long, Li Nuo saw Granite 5.

The dark clouds made people feel oppressed, the fleet in the planet's orbit was busy, a large number of landing pods and shuttles going back and forth between the orbit and the surface.

Li Nuo's descent direction deviated from the fleet, eventually landing in a valley tens of kilometers away from the orbital tower.

His consciousness entered the body of the small Kommandos, his eyes seeing only darkness.

He opened his eyes and looked at his feet.

The "drone" was burning, the outer shell and contents turning into coke in the flames.

Don't panic, this is normal.

After the Kommandos is successfully born, the "drone's" Grot will execute the self-destruct order, sending itself off with a dazzling firework.

Li Nuo looked down and scanned his body.

One and a half meters tall, bald head, bronze skin.

Good, very good, another Alpha Legionnaire named Bond.

Li Nuo consumed points, created a character save, and saved Bond 2.0.

The valley he was currently in was covered with thick black ash, and many debris-like black suspended particles floated in the air, like ash rain near a volcano.

There were several shallow footprints on the ground, the imprints covered by black ash, almost invisible.

According to the accumulation speed of the black ash, these footprints should not have appeared for more than 72 Terra hours.

There were no living things in the valley, no insects, the cold wind whistling, chilling the heart.

Looking into the distance along the direction of the footprints, about two or three kilometers away, a very faint firelight flickered in the haze.

Li Nuo activated his fungal ability - Vibration Sensing.

The sound of the wind poured into his mind.

Pebbles were blown by the wind, rolling down from the cliffs, crackling.

Several different sounds came from the direction of the firelight.

Someone was throwing solid promethium into a fuel barrel, stirring the promethium blocks with a metal rod to make the flames in the barrel more vigorous.

Above the fuel barrel, a kettle gurgled and emitted misty vapor, and the voices of several men came from the side.

"The Imperial Guard has arrived."

"I know."

"Are we waiting for them to come and take us away, or are we actively gathering at the bottom of the orbital tower?"

"Let's wait for them to send a shuttle to take us over, I'm too lazy to walk such a long distance."

"The new governor must want to perform well, if we don't take advantage of him, wouldn't that be disrespecting him."

As the men were talking, the creaking sound of a door opening entered Li Nuo's mind, and new personnel appeared on the scene.

The newcomer's voice was low and his tone unquestionable, seemingly the boss of these people:

"Headquarters has an order. Those who hear the broadcast must gather at the orbital tower. When enough people have arrived, someone will send a signal. Upon hearing the signal, immediately launch the riot. Do you all understand?"

"Crap. Want us to walk over there? What a joke."

"Boss, wouldn't it be better for us to wait here for the shuttle to transport us over?"

"Bang." The boss of the group hammered the table:

"Don't talk nonsense. Whatever headquarters says, we'll do. There's food and drink in the restricted area, first come, first served. If you don't go, don't blame me for not leaving you a share."

".. Okay then. Let's set off."

"Rustling — — — —"

A group of people packed their luggage indoors.

Broadcast?

What broadcast?

Li Nuo was puzzled by the "broadcast" mentioned by these people.

At this moment, the roar of a thruster came from the distant sky, and the so-called broadcast was transmitted simultaneously.

"We are the Solar Guard 131st Regiment. We are the guardians of the Imperium, the defenders of order, the executors of justice. All those who hear this broadcast, immediately proceed to the orbital tower. There is food, water, and medicine in the restricted area there, and your safety will be guaranteed."

So that's what's going on.

The 131st Regiment was concentrating the refugees on the surface near the orbital tower for unified resettlement.

The few people who were talking just now seemed to have ulterior motives.

They planned to disguise themselves as refugees, sneak into the restricted area, and seize the opportunity to create a riot.

They mentioned the word "headquarters", indicating that they were organized and premeditated.

It seems that the rebels on this planet had planned ahead.

They had made corresponding countermeasures against the arrival of the Imperial Guard.

Li Nuo thought for a moment, took out "Mo's Black Hair" from the fungal warehouse, and evenly applied it on his body.

After some preparation, a Kommandos immune to detection appeared.

Li Nuo activated his fungal ability - Optical Camouflage, and ran quickly and steadily towards the firelight.

Before long, a tin-skinned house embedded in the rock wall appeared in sight.

The firelight flickered inside the window, and several figures were preparing for a long journey.

Li Nuo observed outside the house for a while, confirming that there were no traps or anything like that nearby, and then silently sneaked into the house.

Several Mind-Lock bolts were thrown out, and then he snatched a dagger and stabbed each of them once, the short battle ending with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

There was only one survivor in the house, the boss of these people.

Li Nuo used Mind-Lock to control the other party, took out truth serum from the fungal warehouse, and aimed the needle at the other party's neck and stabbed down.

Note 1: Star Language Squad, renamed Star Language Choir after the nationalization of religion. The name sounds better, but the efficiency has become even worse.
