I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#173 - First visit to Webway
"500,000 cubic meters of coolant annually? That's a lot!" Li Nuo raised an eyebrow as a plan to turn passivity into proactivity and waste into treasure surfaced in his mind.
"Yes, sir," Wenger said, calculating on his data panel:
"According to the airport control tower's measurements, the airport's visitation this year is four times that of last year, mainly due to the significant increase in synthetic starch export trade. Conservatively estimating, we will handle 2 million cubic meters of engine coolant throughout the year. The economic benefit we create by receiving coolant is 20 million Throne Coins."
If 2 million cubic meters of engine coolant is considered to be 90% water, it contains 1.9 million cubic meters of pure water.
Since the advent of the second-generation toxin-to-starch catalyst, what Li Nuo lacked was water.
The ancient antioxidant fungus had created an efficient method for him to purify light water radioactive substances.
At this moment, in Li Nuo's eyes, these 2 million cubic meters of coolant were not coolant, but the pure water he had dreamed of.
The key was that he had to pay for pure water, but when others gave him coolant, he could charge them money, which was equivalent to others not only sending him pure water but also sending him money!
Where could he find such a good deal where he made money twice in one transaction?
"Wenger, discuss with your department members and draft a preferential program for sewage diversion. For any ships willing to cooperate with us in sewage diversion before discharging sewage, we can offer a discount on their supplies, such as a 30% reduction in the engine coolant discharge price. Do you think this is feasible?"
"I think it's fine. The bulk of the sewage treatment price is engine coolant, and a 30% discount is not small. They will agree."
"Very good." Li Nuo turned his head to look at the head of the engineering department:
"Oliwen, arrange for an engineering team to改造 the airport's sewage collection管道, separate the different sewage, and have different water purification plants process them. Among them, the water purification plant responsible for processing light water radioactive substances will be constructed by my Umbrella Corporation. The remaining water purification plants will be arranged according to the existing water purification plan. For the ships' domestic sewage, you use the monitoring method of the 下巢 sewage池 to monitor them and report abnormal monitoring results to the legal department at any time."
"Yes, sir."
After discussing some details, Li Nuo then announced the adjournment, but he did not get up to leave.
He left Tido, called Isabel, and told them about his plan for dealing with light water radioactive substances:
"I recently invented an antioxidant that is toxic to humans. Its toxicity is ineffective against water ball bacteria. Water ball bacteria cultivated with antioxidants can be used to separate pure water and radioactive substances. I need you to build a water purification plant specifically responsible for processing light water radioactive substances based on this second-generation water ball bacteria reactor construction blueprint. The security level of the new equipment and new plant is top secret. Once everything is ready, we can try to purchase light water radioactive substances from the outside to create a new source of profit."
Li Nuo sent the encrypted document to Tido and Isabel via the data panel.
The antioxidant he mentioned was an artificial compound made based on the antioxidant enzymes of the ancient antioxidant fungus, and the technical processing idea was the same as that of the toxin-to-starch amylase.
This enzyme is harmful to humans, causing problems such as tooth loss, hair dryness, and yellowing and wrinkling of the skin, so it cannot be used to prolong life for the time being.
After Li Nuo's treatment, the chemical composition of the antioxidant has no direct relationship with the antioxidant enzyme, so it can be used with confidence.
In terms of technology, Tido and Isabel admired Li Nuo a hundred times and could not give any advice.
However, in terms of practical application, the two still had some insights.
"The impact of your new technology is no less than that of synthetic starch. At that time, the Mechanicus will probably send sages over to review it again." When Tido said this, she was more worried than happy, and there were shallow vertical lines between her eyebrows.
The new synthetic starch turns waste residue into food, which can alleviate the riots caused by hunger, and has great social significance, but there are originally few competitors in the synthetic starch industry, so the conflicts caused by it are not fierce.
But the radioactive waste industry is different.
The profits are high, the number of competitors is relatively large, and most of them are governors with no bottom line, who only have money and material taxes in their hearts.
If they know that the governor of Aipimite has invented a perfect formula for separating pure water and radioactive substances, then the entire radioactive waste treatment market will definitely be in chaos.
At that time, perhaps many star area governors who have a say in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs will jointly request the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make the formula public.
This situation is definitely not something a planetary governor can cope with, and it is absolutely possible.
"Boss, I think Madam's concerns are correct." Isabel pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and advised:
"I suggest we keep a low profile and temporarily not purchase light water radioactive substances from the outside. At least before we complete the first transaction of the synthetic starch formula, it is not suitable to have new actions, otherwise it is too easy to attract the sinister means of ill-intentioned people."
Li Nuo nodded slowly, and the other party's words made sense.
He has a Green-skinned Pal army in his hands, but he cannot use it openly, so he is essentially just a small planetary governor. He cannot be too ambitious, and he should keep a low profile.
"Just follow your two suggestions, act in a low-key manner, do not expand business outward, and only process the light water radioactive substances inside the hive city."
Li Nuo set the tone for the implementation of the plan.
Tido and Isabel breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing more reassuring than a governor who listened to advice.
The three discussed in the conference room until evening, and Li Nuo invited them to his place for dinner, and continued to discuss the details after dinner.
Near 9:00 in the evening, after seeing off Tido and Isabel, the work for the day came to an end.
Amy was responsible for the security work of the new plant and new equipment.
This girl suffered a small loss from the Gamma-level psychic last time, fearing that Li Nuo would think she was not capable enough, and had been wanting to perform well.
Before Li Nuo entered the bedroom, he sent a message to Amy, asking her to meet with Tido and Isabel tomorrow to discuss security work.
"Wait, what day is tomorrow?"
Li Nuo looked at the data panel.
Tomorrow is Friday, and the weekend is not until the day after tomorrow.
Li Nuo changed the wording of the short message and changed the time for Amy and Tido to meet to the day after tomorrow.
With the separation of pure water and radioactive waste properly arranged, there are two main matters in front of him:
One is to upgrade the lifespan of the Gauss force field weapon. Currently, the weapon only has a 1-minute lifespan under high-intensity combat, which is too low. It must be at least 1 hour to be sufficient.
Secondly, he has to find a way to utilize the radioactive waste after the light water radioactive substances are separated.
Li Nuo thought that he could find a feasible solution in Green-skinned technology.
The main component of radioactive waste is radioactive isotopes, which can be separated and purified by ion exchange. This step is completed by the new water ball bacteria bioreactor.
Now the question is, what can the recovered radioactive isotopes be used for?
This involves Li Nuo's knowledge blind spot.
After consulting relevant information in the database, he found that the recovered radioactive isotopes have many uses.
Remaking them into fuel rods and putting them into plasma reactors for reuse is the first option.
In addition, they can also be used for sterilization and disinfection, cancer treatment, tracer production, and age determination.
These options are all achievable, but the only disadvantage is that the cost is very high, far less than directly launching the radioactive waste into the sun.
Li Nuo thought that he should be able to find a cheaper solution in Ork technology.
For example, making radioactive isotopes into ammunition and adding them to the magazines of Gauss weapons.
In this way, the Gauss weapon he developed will not have to rely on irradiation and can be publicly displayed.
Maybe he can also get the attention of the Imperial Department of Military Affairs and become an emerging Imperial arms dealer.
Thinking this way, Li Nuo clicked on the save interface and looked at the save of Tech-boy - Guga.
[Save 2: Tech-boy - Guga.]
[Save Brief:]
[After obtaining the Black Bean Sprout's webway access device, the Mekboys and Tech-boys of the Ork pirate fleet have devoted themselves to cracking this device.]
[They spent half a month repairing the damaged access device and another month figuring out how to operate the access device.]
[Over the past few days, the Mekboy has been trying to open the webway entrance. If all goes well, Da Black Tooth's fleet will be the first Ork fleet to enter the webway through normal means.]
"Um, not bad. With the Ork pirate fleet helping me open the way in front, it will be much easier for me to lead the fleet to open the webway entrance in the future."
Li Nuo smiled slightly, quite satisfied, took out a magic spore and ate it, and loaded the save.
His consciousness shuttled through the sea of stars, and soon came to a vast void.
There were no other void entities here except for three Ork pirate ships. It should be an uninhabited area specially selected by Da Black Tooth to try to enter and exit the webway.
Consciousness passed through layers of ship cabins and entered the ship's bridge. Li Nuo woke up in the body of Tech-boy Guga.
The first thing that caught his eye was the webway access device snatched from Black Bean Sprout.
After the repair and改造 by the Mekboys and Tech-boys, this device presented a unique artistic style.
The eerie painting style of the Dark Eldar and the rough style of the Green-skins intertwined on it, forming a strange beauty that was both bloody and terrifying and a bit comical.
The outer shell of the webway access device was a deep black alloy, and the surface was covered with complex runes and纹路, inlaid with bone carvings and dried meat as decorations.
Under the light, the outer shell reflected a layer of oily, hazy light, making people subconsciously produce physiological repulsion.
But don't forget, when this device fell into the hands of the Greenskin boss, its outer shell was more than half corroded by strong acid.
The damaged parts were covered with rough metal plates, riddled with rivets and welding marks. Red and purple paint formed a checkered pattern, full of Orcish crudeness, a stark contrast to the twisted tastes of the Dark Eldar.
The fusion of these two distinct styles left Li Nuo stunned.
"Listen up, all of ya! We're about to start the 10th activation experiment! Get yer heads in the game, and don't be all fussy like grotz! Anyone who messes up, I'll kick 'em in the bum! Ya hear me!?"
"We hear ya, we hear ya! Just get on with it, Mekboss!"
"I can't wait!"
The Mekboss stood on the bridge's platform, commanding, while the Mekboyz surrounded the Webway Accessor, responding loudly.
The Mekboss pointed to a corner of the bridge:
"Power it up!"
Upon receiving the order, the Mekboy pulled the power lever, and crackling sparks traveled along the wires on the ground to the Webway Accessor.
The Accessor shook for a moment, clunking and clattering like an old car, with plumes of black smoke rising from the gaps in its casing.
It's already smoking, eh? Has the experiment failed again?
Li Nuo stared wide-eyed. Gu Jia's instincts told him that smoke and fire were normal occurrences and not to be alarmed by.
"Pump in the Squig's Stinky Juice!"
The Mekboss shouted.
The Mekboy opened the valve on the pipe, and yellow-green liquid flowed into the Accessor.
Squig's Stinky Juice is an insulating coolant, not Squig excrement, named for its terrible odor, like Squig waste.
The yellow-green liquid gurgled and bubbled inside the Accessor, and a strong stench wafted out. The Boyz on the scene simultaneously put on their breathing masks.
"Connect the doodad cables! Get the Psyker Boyz movin'!"
A metal plug the size of a washbasin was inserted into the Accessor's slot. Sparks crackled from the cables, and static electricity traveled from the Accessor to the doodad array nearby.
Ten Psyker Boyz were in charge of operating the doodad array, all immersed in amniotic fluid tanks.
After sensing the information flow from the Accessor, the Psyker Boyz wailed and screamed, frantically sucking Universal Psychic Material from the surrounding Orks.
【Psyker Boy has absorbed 1 unit of Universal Psychic Material from you.】
【Psyker Boy has absorbed 1 unit of Universal Psychic Material from you.】
The newest and most complete novel is at 69shu.com!
Several lines of system text floated before Li Nuo's eyes in succession.
The ten Psyker Boyz suddenly shouted in unison:
"We did it! We see a nearby Webway node!"
"Quick, show it to me!" Big Black Tooth heard the cheers and rushed to the platform like a whirlwind.
At his command, the Psyker Boyz exerted their strength, outputting psychic code to the doodad array's holographic device.
"Whoosh—"
The holographic device projected a light screen, presenting a magnificent Webway node map to the Orks.
This was a three-dimensional dot matrix map, with vast stardust, like a brilliant nebula.
The map encompassed all Webway entrances and exits within a radius of 1 light-year, each node marked with a flashing light point.
At first glance, the map was magnificent and dazzling, but in reality, it concealed deadly dangers.
Most of the Webway entrance and exit light points were dim gray, meaning they were damaged due to disrepair and had long lost their function.
These nodes were like forgotten ruins, quietly floating in the void, unattended.
Occasionally, a few nodes flickered with eerie iridescent light, the color of the light being red, green, blue, or purple, and some even displaying several different colors simultaneously.
This was a sign of corruption by Chaos Daemons.
Without much thought, one knew that these corrupted nodes foreshadowed misfortune, and entering them was tantamount to courting death.
Fortunately, in addition to the damaged and corrupted nodes, a very few nodes flickered with golden light, a healthy color, and exceedingly precious.
These safe nodes were like beacons in the darkness.
In the past, they only served the Slann and the Eldar.
Now, the Orks would officially intervene in the Webway, becoming a new high-speed force within it.
Big Black Tooth raised his power field sword, pointing to the nearest golden node, excitedly gesticulating:
"Let's go! To here! I can't wait! Move it, Boyz! Hurry!"
The bridge received the order, and the ship set sail with a slight tremor.
A warp rift appeared in front of the fleet, and three ships entered it, returning to the material universe three minutes later.
At this time, the fleet was located more than 5000 kilometers from the Webway node, unsuitable for warp travel, and could only approach it in normal cruising mode.
Li Nuo aimed the Appraisal skill at the golden node on the Webway node map.
【Appraisal Successful.】
【Name: Star Bridge - T19-00 A06.】
【Type: Safe Webway Node.】
【Description:】
【Star Bridge - T19 is a transportation hub located within the Webway, built by the Old Ones.】
【After entering this hub from a Webway node, one can travel to other areas of the Webway or return to the material universe through the hub's Webway entrances and exits.】
【Please note that node safety only means that passing through this node can reach the designated destination, and does not mean that the destination is also safe.】
The most important information on the panel was the last sentence.
Node safety only meant that the node's destination had not been tampered with and did not mean that the destination was in an absolutely safe state.
Li Nuo aimed the Appraisal skill at the colored nodes and the gray nodes, and the appraisal results confirmed the importance of the above sentence.
For example, a red node's panel information was like this:
【Name: Eldar Scar - T8 - EGT88.】
【Type: Webway Node Corrupted by Khorne.】
【Description:】
【The destination of this node has been tampered with. Visitors will enter Khorne's Chaos Realm, facing Khorne's Daemon Guard.】
The red nodes were corrupted by Khorne, the green ones by Nurgle, the blue ones by Tzeentch, and the pink ones by Slaanesh.
The pink nodes were the most numerous. At least half of the corrupted nodes were the work of Slaanesh, and these nodes were all built by the Eldar, bearing the "Eldar Scar" label.
Li Nuo pondered for a moment, deciding to figure out the Tech-Witchery for processing radioactive waste before entering the Webway, to avoid accidents and delays.
With this thought, Li Nuo turned around and dove into Gu Jia's workshop, rummaging through the boxes for a green cube the size of a palm.
This was recycled radioactive waste, and a very faint tingling sensation could be felt in the hand.
Li Nuo put it together with the laser gun and activated the 'I Findz It' power.
【You are searching Gu Jia's gene knowledge base, looking for Tech-Witchery that uses radioactive waste as ammunition.】
【Search completed.】
【Search Results: 2 items.】
【Search Result 1: Green Sludge Bullet.】
【Learning Cost: 100 Skill Points.】
【Description: Cut the radioactive waste into small pieces, knead them into bullets, and fire them from a railgun to obtain Green Sludge Bullets with electric shock and radioactive killing effects. This bullet is a variant of the plasma bullet.】
【Search Result 2: Green Gem.】
【Learning Cost: 1000 Skill Points.】
【Description: Green Gem is good, and power is indispensable. This is a portable plasma reactor that can convert radioactive waste into electricity or radioactive particle beams at any time. You can switch buttons to decide what kind of energy the Green Gem outputs.】
Green Gem?
Good stuff.
Green Sludge Bullet is also good. The difficulty of 'washing' it is lower than Green Gem, and it can be used in conjunction with self-developed Gauss weapons.
Li Nuo's eyes lit up, and he exchanged both Tech-Witchery blueprints.
Witchcraft knowledge surged in his mind. At the same time, the pirate fleet's speed rapidly decreased, eventually coming to a complete standstill.
When Li Nuo came back to his senses, Big Black Tooth was excitedly urging the Mekboss to open the Webway entrance.
A large amount of Universal Psychic Material was absorbed by the Psyker Boyz, and the Webway Accessor's shaking intensified, with a faint feeling of imminent collapse.
A black beam of light shot out from the focusing lens at the bow of the ship, and the brass-colored Webway outer wall appeared in front of the ship.
Big Black Tooth waved his hand forward, pointing his power field sword at the Webway outer wall:
"Let's go! Full speed ahead! Waaagh! Now I can slip through just as fast as those Dark Eldar!"
The pirate fleet accelerated again and again, and the three ships charged towards the outer wall. A giant entrance appeared on the outer wall, the inside pitch black.
Just before the three ships were about to enter the Webway node, Li Nuo suddenly remembered something.
How does the Webway Accessor determine which ships have the qualifications to enter and which do not?
Is it based on whether there is an Accessor installed on the ship?
If so, wouldn't only one pirate ship be able to enter, and the other two not?
As Li Nuo thought of this question, Big Black Tooth suddenly screamed.
"No! Stop! Stop! My other two ships don't have Accessors! Stop! Stop! We're doomed— — — — — — — —"
"Boom!"
The ship plunged headlong into the pitch-black Webway.
The Webway entrance instantly closed, and the Webway outer wall disappeared without a trace.
The other two ships glided for a distance before stopping, the Boyz and Grotz on board staring at each other wide-eyed.
The scene became somewhat awkward.
