I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Withdrawing his gaze from the prosperous scene, Li Nuo rummaged through the pockets on his body and took out the 'Screwball Goggles' to put on.

This pair of glasses was full of wasteland style, which the Green-skinned Grandpas loved.

Its frame was painted in a red and green checkered pattern, with the left lens red and the right lens green.

After putting them on, a line of system text appeared.

【You have equipped Screwball Goggles. Identification Technique temporarily gains the Enemy/Ally Recognition function and the Ork Boy's Panel function. You can issue commands to Ork Boys through the panel.】

The meaning of the new function was easy to understand, taking the Grots currently watering as an example.

When Li Nuo looked over, a green arrow appeared above the Grot's head, indicating that the Goblin was his minion, not an enemy.

Poking the green arrow with his mind, the Goblin's panel popped up in his field of vision.

【Name: Ya Ya】

【Type: Agricultural and Pastoral Grot】

【Satiety: 75/100. The higher the satiety, the higher the work efficiency. Eating can increase satiety.】

【Work: Watering the Ghost Mushrooms with liquid alchemical fertilizer, work in progress.】

【Available Commands:】

【Don't be lazy! Shoot him! Beat him! Stand upside down / Somersault / Dance / Pat your belly.】

Li Nuo poked the fourth command with his mind, telling Ya Ya to do a somersault.

Psionic waves emanated from his body, passed through rows of Ghost Mushrooms in the field, and entered Ya Ya's body.

Ya Ya looked in Li Nuo's direction as if understanding telepathically.

It put down the watering can in its hand, jumped up and spun three hundred and sixty degrees in place, landed in a 'Wild Goose Landing' style, and made a 'Yeah' gesture with a hippie smile.

At this moment, Li Nuo sincerely felt like he was playing a game called "Green-skinned Palworld."

The awesomeness of these glasses wasn't just limited to this.

It had a hidden function!

That was to cast Fungal Abilities remotely!

Li Nuo changed the angle and tested it.

The detection range of the glasses was equal to the visible distance of the naked eye, and as long as it was within the line of sight, Orks and Grots could be detected by the glasses, even if they were under cover or underground.

For example, the Orks working underground.

When Li Nuo looked down, he could clearly see dozens of green outlines, and he could open their panels with a tap of his mind.

Aiming at these Orks underground, he activated the Fungal Ability - Nourishment, and a line of system text popped up.

【Through the Screwball Goggles, you are casting a Fungal Ability through obstacles, which requires an additional 1 unit of Universal Psionic Material. Confirm consumption?】

See, now he could cast Fungal Abilities on friendly Orks through obstacles, which was simply awesome.

Among the many functions, this hidden function was the coolest.

"Zarg!" Li Nuo called out to the lackey next to the shack.

Zarg replied:

"Wot iz it, Warlord?"

"Bring me a few buckets of Green Glow Mud."

"Right, boss."

Zarg strode towards the nearby Kustom Boosta-blasta.

The Ork camp now covered an area of hundreds of thousands of hectares, encompassing two forests, a plain, and a mountain range.

Zarg's original motorcycle was useless, so Li Nuo had the Tech-Grot build him a Kustom Boosta-blasta.

Ork aircraft focused on simple operation, even idiots could use them.

After Zarg got on, he twisted the throttle like driving a motorcycle, and shot into the sky with a bang, leaving a trail of white smoke.

The door of the shack was knocked open by the Dumb Dog, and the Dumb Dog, as fat as a gas tank, ran out, followed by a strange Squig.

This Squig was called the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig, and you could tell from the name that its purpose was to produce hydrogen and oxygen.

Its appearance was similar to that of an ordinary Meat Squig, with a patch of turf on its back, and two large trumpet flowers growing on the turf, one white and the other blue.

Every substance it ate would eventually be discharged from the trumpet flowers in the form of pure oxygen and hydrogen.

The white trumpet flower discharged oxygen, and the blue one discharged hydrogen.

Very magical.

The number of Steel Tribe had increased to 600,000 Ork Boys, 750,000 Grots, and 300,000 Squigs.

Such a large base had only produced 1 Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig.

It could be seen how rare this kind of Squig was.

Most importantly, after feeding it radioactive material, the gas it discharged was still not radioactive.

The radioactive material would be separated from the water under metabolism, and eventually discharged in the form of solid radioactive waste, while the Squig itself would not be radioactive at all.

This indicated that there was a mechanism in the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig that could perfectly separate radioactive waste from water.

Li Nuo came "online" today for this reason.

"Dumb Dog, get over here!"

Li Nuo shouted to call back the Dumb Dog, who was running wildly.

The Dumb Dog and the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig got along well, and the two little ones were always together wherever they went.

The Dumb Dog came to its master's feet, Li Nuo bent down and touched it a few times, and then pressed down on the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig to obtain a gene sample.

The Dumb Dog thought that its master was going to dissect its little partner, and cried anxiously, until its master released the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig before it calmed down.

"Don't worry, I'm just collecting a gene fragment, why are you so nervous?"

Li Nuo put the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig on the ground and reached out:

"Go play. Don't break my mushrooms."

The Dumb Dog grinned and wagged its tail to lead its little partner away.

Li Nuo aimed at the sample in the gene library and activated Analyze Fungus.

【Analysis complete.】

【Name: Gene Sample of Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig.】

【Description: This sample contains fungal, animal, and plant genes.】

【Fungal genes determine the breeding method of Hydrogen-Oxygen Squigs.】

【Animal genes determine the growth path of Hydrogen-Oxygen Squigs.】

【Plant genes determine the appearance and metabolism of Hydrogen-Oxygen Squigs.】

Eating light water radioactive material and emitting oxygen and hydrogen should be related to metabolism.

Li Nuo selected the plant gene fragment and activated Gene Recombination.

【You are trying to write the plant gene of the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig into CVCPSE-ABB-15 yeast.】

【…】

【Gene recombination complete.】

【You have obtained yeast with plant genes.】

【You activate Analyze Fungus on this yeast to obtain detailed analysis results of plant genes.】

【The analysis results are as follows:】

【Gene Fragment: Frag000001】

【…】

The plant gene fragment of the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig was refreshed, and dense text appeared like a waterfall.

Li Nuo specifically looked at the content related to "radiation" and quickly found the truth about the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig digesting radioactive material.

【Gene Fragment: Frag0114759.】

【Function: This fragment is related to the antioxidant capacity of Hydrogen-Oxygen Squigs.】

【Affected by this fragment, Hydrogen-Oxygen Squigs can generate a certain tripeptide compound to obtain an antioxidant capacity that is almost immune to oxidation.】

Is radiation related to oxidation?

Yes, and the relationship is very large.

Radiation causes cells to produce a large number of reactive oxygen species, which promote cell oxidation and cause serious oxidative damage.

Oxidative damage includes:

DNA strand breaks, chromosomal aberrations, protein denaturation, lipid damage, etc.

So, in theory, as long as you prevent cells from producing a large number of reactive oxygen species, you can avoid all radiation sickness.

Antioxidants are the key.

In addition, oxidation is also one of the primary causes of aging.

Skin oxidation leads to decreased elasticity, increased wrinkles, and pigmentation.

Cardiovascular oxidation promotes cardiovascular sclerosis, damages vascular endothelial cells, and causes myocardial infarction.

Brain oxidation damages nerves, leading to neurotransmitter metabolism disorders and a significant decline in cognitive function.

Antioxidation is anti-aging.

From this perspective, the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig is not just an oxygen production tool, it is simply a treasure for producing the elixir of life.

Of course, not all antioxidants can be used on the human body.

If the antioxidant is toxic, it will not bring the effect of prolonging life, but will poison people to death.

Li Nuo originally planned to dissect the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig, but seeing that the Dumb Dog was playing so well with it, he changed his mind.

Selecting the reproductive spores in the Fungal Warehouse and the gene sample of the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig, Li Nuo started a new gene simulation.

The gene sample was written into the reproductive spores, and the reproductive spores were buried in the soil.

He took out the Growth Spirit to water the spores.

When Zarg brought back two large buckets of radioactive material, the new Squig had just broken ground.

This second Squig was only the size of a palm, like a small doll.

Li Nuo extracted its sample to obtain gene purity.

The result was not bad, although this Squig was a gene-edited product, its purity reached 98%, which could be said to be a genuine Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig.

Glancing at the Dumb Dog frolicking in the field, Li Nuo turned around, faced away from the Dumb Dog, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into the heart of the small Squig.

Accompanied by a few whimpers, the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig, which had just been born, died.

Li Nuo completed the dissection and sampling in a few strokes.

When he turned around to face the field again, the Squig in his hand had become parts.

A few Identification Techniques and Analyze Fungus were thrown out, and Li Nuo harvested a few panels, two of which came from the anticipated Ancient Fungi.

【Name: Ancient Hydrogen-Oxygen Fungus.】

【Type: Ancient Holy Creation.】

【Analysis Result:】

【The life form of this fungus is similar to yeast.】

【It can convert water into oxygen and hydrogen through metabolism.】

The mechanism of the Ancient Hydrogen-Oxygen Fungus is similar to that of electrolyzing water, the advantage is that it does not consume electricity, and the disadvantage is that it consumes part of hydrogen and oxygen during the metabolism process, so that the unit output is not as good as electrolyzed water.

This Ancient Fungus was not the focus of today's research, the second Ancient Fungus was.

【Name: Ancient Antioxidant Fungus.】

【Type: Ancient Holy Creation.】

【Analysis Result:】

【The life form of this fungus is similar to Ganoderma lucidum, and can be classified as the Fungal Kingdom, Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes, Polyporales, Ganodermataceae, Ganoderma genus.】

【When growing in an oxygen-rich environment, its antioxidant enzyme system will be activated to actively generate antioxidant compounds to avoid oxidative damage caused by the oxygen produced by the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig itself.】

This new Ancient Fungus looked similar to Ganoderma lucidum, with a fan-shaped cap, showing a light green color.

Li Nuo stored it in the Fungal Warehouse, activated Fungal Simulation, and cultivated it in large quantities.

Like ordinary fungi, Ancient Antioxidant Fungus can be cultivated with synthetic starch, purified water, rotten matter, wood and other things.

After obtaining 1 ton of finished product at one time, Li Nuo began to conduct antioxidant experiments.

He called back the Dumb Dog and the Hydrogen-Oxygen Squig, took out a bag and put it on the white trumpet flower on the Squig's back.

The white trumpet flower discharged pure oxygen, and the blue trumpet flower discharged hydrogen.

After half a minute, one cubic meter of pure oxygen was collected, and Li Nuo used this as a consumable to activate Fungal Simulation.

【Day 1: You use synthesized starch, orange sugar, purified water, and soil to create a culture medium and nutrient solution.】

【You use a sterile chamber as a container to cultivate the Archaic Antioxidant Fungus, input pure oxygen, and seal the container.】

【Day 2: A large amount of light white powder appears on the cap of the Archaic Antioxidant Fungus.】

【You collect the powder and use a transmission electron microscope to obtain its molecular structure.】

The microscopic image appears, directly showing the molecular structure of the white powder.

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

This is a dense planar grid, similar to the microscopic structure of graphene, with molecules arranged in an orderly manner, forming many regular polygons.

The identification result shows that this substance is the antioxidant enzyme produced by the Archaic Antioxidant Fungus.

The next step is the most crucial experimental procedure.

Li Nuo selects the Water Orb Fungus from the fungus warehouse and initiates a new round of fungus simulation.

【Please set the experimental parameters.】

Li Nuo points to the large iron barrel in front of him, filled with green glowing sludge—namely, light water radioactive material.

"Use this barrel of radioactive waste as a culture medium to cultivate the Water Orb Fungus. Refer to past Water Orb Fungus cultivation plans for ventilation, light, and humidity. Before cultivation, inject the Water Orb Fungus with an antioxidant enzyme aqueous solution, with the solution concentration tentatively set at 5% and the injection dose at 10mg/1g."

【Simulation parameters have been set.】

【Day 1】

【You prepare the antioxidant enzyme aqueous solution and complete the injection, obtaining a total of 100 Water Orb Fungus samples with antioxidant enzymes.】

【You complete the cultivation on the radioactive waste.】

【Day 2】

【Out of 100 samples, 75 mutated due to radiation, while the remaining 25 appeared normal.】

Li Nuo pauses the simulation, increases the solution concentration from 5% to 20%, and starts a new simulation.

【Day 2】

【All 100 samples did not mutate. You take out the samples from the culture medium, squeeze out the water, and perform a water quality test.】

【The test results show that after injecting the antioxidant enzyme solution, the water stored in the Water Orb Fungus does not contain toxicity, bacteria, or radioactive metal ions.】

【At this time, you decide?】

"I decide to cultivate the Water Orb Fungus again, but without injecting the antioxidant enzyme solution. I want to see how long the antioxidant effect can last after a single injection."

【Day 2: You cultivate the Water Orb Fungus again.】

【Day 3: You test the water inside the Water Orb Fungus and find no radiation.】

【…】

【Day 14: You test the water inside the Water Orb Fungus and find slight radiation.】

Okay, everyone, the experiment can be declared a success here.

A single injection of a 20% concentration antioxidant enzyme solution, with an injection dose of 10mg/1g, can grant the Water Orb Fungus a radiation immunity effect lasting for 13 days.

During this period, the water in the light water radioactive material will be absorbed and stored by the Water Orb Fungus, while the radioactive material is excluded, perfectly achieving the separation of radioactive material and water.

The water inside the Water Orb Fungus can be recycled.

Radioactive materials have various uses, such as powering waste shield generators or as fuel for reactors.

In short, after separating the water and radioactive material, the radioactive waste is turned from waste into treasure, becoming a good resource that can be recycled.

Li Nuo instructs the system to start automatic simulation to obtain antioxidant enzymes in large quantities.

Half an hour later, he takes out a can of antioxidant enzyme dry powder from the fungus warehouse, preparing to conduct a toxicity experiment to see if this substance is toxic to Orcs, animals, and plants.

If it's not toxic, wow kaka, then he'll make a fortune, meaning he has made breakthroughs in both radiation resistance and anti-aging.

Even if it's toxic to humans, it doesn't matter; it just means it can't be used for anti-aging.

Just the radiation resistance alone makes today a day worth commemorating.

Li Nuo calls over Pijing and injects each of them with a shot, turning on the Finder to monitor their vital signs.

He also instructs Zarg to bring some insects and small animals for injection experiments.

After injecting the insects and animals, the next step is plants and grains, and finally fungi.

The injection process for fungi is the simplest; Li Nuo selects all the fungi in the fungus warehouse and initiates automatic simulation.

Just as he's selecting the fungi, an Archaic Fungus obtained a long time ago enters his sight, immediately attracting his attention.

This fungus is the Archaic Crystal Fungus.

It has two metabolic modes.

When there are physical nutrients, it decomposes the impurities in the nutrients, purifying the main components to form crystals.

When there are no physical nutrients, it absorbs sub-space energy to form energy crystals.

There are 3 tons of sub-space energy single crystals in the fungus warehouse, but no spirit bones.

Li Nuo is reluctant to use the single crystals for experiments.

So, he does something very bold.

He sets the simulation environment in the physical universe, not providing the Archaic Crystal Fungus with any nutrients, forcing it to absorb energy from the sub-space.

This is very dangerous.

According to past experience, the simulation days can only last up to day 5.

After that, the chaotic enemies in the sub-space will notice the existence of the Archaic Crystal Fungus and come to corrupt, twist, and destroy it.

However, this time is different.

Under the protection of the antioxidant enzyme, the Archaic Crystal Fungus continuously absorbs energy from the sub-space, generating sub-space energy single crystals.

It wasn't until day 14, when the effect of the antioxidant enzyme disappeared, that the chaotic enemies noticed the existence of the Archaic Crystal Fungus.

Li Nuo is shocked beyond words.

He immediately starts a new simulation experiment, adding antioxidant enzymes to the Archaic Crystal Fungus every 13 days.

Repeating this process over and over again, the simulation days quickly increase from 1 day to 6789 days, and the chaotic enemies finally break through the protection of the antioxidant enzyme, noticing the Archaic Crystal Fungus and corrupting and destroying it.

From day 1 to day 6788, the colony of the Archaic Crystal Fungus expands to half a meter in diameter, producing a total of 1 kilogram of sub-space energy single crystals.

Although it's only 1 kilogram, it's enough to make people ecstatic.

When cultivating the Archaic Crystal Fungus before, the nutrients used were the spirit bones of the Eldar.

Now, Li Nuo uses nothing but antioxidant enzymes, yet he creates 1 kilogram of single crystals out of thin air!

This process can be called void creation.

But why can antioxidant enzymes protect the Archaic Crystal Fungus?

Li Nuo frowns, thinking deeply.

After thinking it over, he finds an explanation.

The Archaic Crystal Fungus is currently in a state of partial reversion to its ancestors.

Is it possible that:

The perfectly reverted Archaic Crystal Fungus can inherently shield the corruption of the chaotic enemies, freely absorbing sub-space energy.

The partially reverted fungus does not have the ability to shield the chaotic enemies, and the antioxidant enzyme stimulates it in some way, temporarily granting it this ability.

If that's the case…

Then can antioxidant enzymes be used to induce the Archaic Crystal Fungus to revert further to its ancestors?

Li Nuo's eyes light up, discovering a key point.

"System, start the chemical mutagen induction experiment."

【Please select a chemical mutagen.】

The focus of a mutagen is on the word "induce."

Simply using antioxidant enzymes has limited mutagenic effects, so some conventional mutagens must be added.

Li Nuo turns around and returns to the shack, searching the shelves and taking out a dozen cans.

These contain common mutagens, including alkylating agents, base analogs, frameshift mutagens, etc.

Reversion to ancestors is a benign gene mutation, usually caused by base pairing errors, so alkylating agents can be used here.

Li Nuo picks out a can of ethyl methanesulfonate and silently says:

"Use this can of ethyl methanesulfonate mixed with antioxidant enzymes as a chemical mutagen, with the mixing ratio tentatively set at 1:1. Keep the other simulation parameters unchanged."

【Chemical mutagen settings are complete.】

【Start simulation.】

【Day 1: You prepare the chemical mutagen, making a bacterial suspension at a concentration of 10 μg/ml. You use the dilution plating method to create culture plates and samples. You obtain 100 experimental samples.】

【You do not provide the samples with physical nutrients.】

【Day 2: In 100 samples, more than half of the samples lose activity, and after testing, they die from malignant mutations. The remaining 43 samples develop normally.】

【Day 3: The number of surviving samples decreases to 15.】

【Day 11: Only 1 sample survives, and the colony it forms is dark green.】

【…】

【Day 6788: The only remaining sample is not corrupted by chaos and develops normally.】

Li Nuo involuntarily holds his breath.

【Day 6789: The only remaining sample develops normally and is not detected by the chaotic enemies.】

"Holy crap?"

【Day 10000: The sample develops normally, with no signs of corruption.】

"Ho… ly… crap…"

【Day 16789: The sample develops normally, with no signs of corruption.】

"Holy crap!"

【Day 29789… Day 39789… Day 49789… Day 59789…】

【The sample develops normally, with no signs of corruption.】

"Ho! ly! Crap! It worked!"

Li Nuo jumps up and down, cheering, and throws a Fungi Analyzer at the sample on the interface.

【Name: Archaic Crystal Fungus (60% Reverted to Ancestors)】

【Type: Ancient Saint Creation】

【Analysis Results:】

【This fungus is set with a gene self-limiting mechanism by the Ancient Saints. A single individual will self-destruct after growing and developing for 5 Terra days, thus being able to repeatedly absorb sub-space energy without being detected by the chaotic enemies.】

【When absorbing sub-space energy and producing single crystals, this fungus can only be cultivated in the system's fungus simulation function. Every 10,000 simulation days produces a fixed 1 kilogram of sub-space energy single crystals.】

【Increasing the degree of reversion to ancestors can increase the yield of sub-space energy monomers.】

1 Terra hour in the real universe equals 10,000 simulation days.

In other words, the 60% reverted Archaic Fungus can produce 1 kilogram per hour, which is 24 kilograms per day, and 8760 kilograms per year!

The yield is a bit low, but the advantage is stability and secrecy!

Secretly undermining the Chaos is exciting just thinking about it.

Hehehehe~
