I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Once you enter the realm of fungi, catgirls become a thing of the past.

Ever since starting to study Applied Mycology, the things that excite Li Nuo the most are no longer cat-eared beast girls.

Only novel fungi he has never seen before can make his heart pound uncontrollably.

It is precisely because of his obsession with diverse and complex microorganisms that he chose to embark on the path of researching fungi.

At this moment, appearing before his eyes is a species of fungus that he has fantasized about countless times.

【Name: Unknown Energetic Fungus】

【Analysis Result:】

【A peculiar energetic creation with halophilic and sulfophilic properties, capable of efficiently desalinating and desulfurizing promethium ore under normal temperature and pressure.】

【It consumes salt and sulfides and excretes concentrated brine, elemental sulfur, or sulfates, with byproducts that are easily recovered and reused.】

【Fungal Abilities: Salt Absorption, Sulfur Absorption.】

【This fungus has been domesticated, and unlocking both fungal abilities requires 1 skill point each.】

【Please note that the growth and reproduction of energetic fungi depend on subspace energy. The system's simulation space cannot currently provide subspace energy. You can only cultivate this fungus in the outside world for the time being.】

【The system will only be able to provide subspace energy during simulations after the fungus simulation function is upgraded using equipment that generates subspace energy.】

The energetic fungus has special growth requirements, so we don't need to worry about that for now.

Li Nuo's current focus is on the uses of the energetic fungus.

Promethium ore is very similar to petroleum from his previous world.

Before refining it, it needs to be desalted and desulfurized first.

Desalting prevents pipes and storage tanks from being corroded by salt and reduces pipe blockage caused by scaling.

Desulfurization improves combustion performance and reduces pollution caused by the combustion of promethium refining products.

Public information from the promethium refinery shows that the old plant's desalting and desulfurization technology consumes a lot of water and electricity, making it very expensive.

After Princeton became the manager, he built a new plant and adopted new refining technology, cutting costs by nearly a third.

His new technology is kept secret, and the agents have not been able to find any information.

However, judging from the energetic fungus in front of him, the mystery has been solved.

Biological desalting and desulfurization are known to be economical, but inefficient.

However, the analysis results include the words "normal temperature and pressure" and "highly efficient."

This shows that the unnamed energetic fungus is already comparable to the desalting and desulfurization processes commonly used in refineries.

However, it's really strange to see energetic fungi appearing in a promethium refinery. Shouldn't they be using marine fungi for biological desalting and desulfurization?

Oh right, this planet doesn't have oceans anymore…

Li Nuo's mind raced, and he squatted down, pressing a spot on his waist with his fingertip.

"Click."

The hidden compartment in his armor opened, and a sampler with a glass tube popped out.

The sampler's appearance is similar to an injection gun, and pressing the switch can extract liquid and powder samples.

Li Nuo extracted the substance containing the energetic fungus from the black slime, and said to his companion next to him:

"Mona, I suspect that this glowing substance is a microorganism. Princeton uses it to pretreat promethium ore, which is why it flows out of the drainage outlet in the desalting area."

"Microorganism? Do you even understand promethium refining processes?"

"I know a little bit. I have a friend who works in this industry. He told me about using microorganisms for desalting and desulfurization."

Li Nuo casually made up an excuse to get by.

Mona nodded as if she understood.

As a woman who likes to use knives and guns, she prefers to send bullets into the brains of enemies rather than studying obscure scientific knowledge.

Whatever Li Nuo says is fine.

Anyway, it will all be given to Father Tutkali for research later, and then we will know what these glowing little spots are.

Li Nuo put away the collected samples and raised his hand to point to the outlet above:

"Let's go in."

"Okay, I'll take the lead." Mona activated her magnetic boots and walked up the vertical metal wall, stepping into the outlet.

Li Nuo followed closely, drilling into the pipe flowing with slime, and incidentally collected some energetic fungi into the fungus warehouse for future use.

After going forward for a distance, a grate blocked the two's path.

Li Nuo and Mona drew out the multi-functional precision short swords on their backs, switched them to heavy-duty scissors mode, and cut open a hole large enough for people to pass through in a few strokes.

The pipe ahead turned from horizontal to vertical.

The two used their magnetic boots to reach the end of the vertical pipe, and above their heads was another grate and another horizontally extending pipe.

Cut open the grate and continue forward.

Ten minutes later, they successfully entered the desalting area.

Tall metal tanks were neatly arranged, and winding pipes connected to the tanks were intertwined horizontally and vertically, like the blood vessels of the refinery, with numerous instruments and valves adorning the pipes.

The lights here were dim, with only night lights providing weak illumination, and no patrolling figures could be seen for the time being.

Li Nuo looked at the nearby instrument panel and nodded secretly.

The newest novels are available on Six 9 Book Bar!

His guess was confirmed, the desalting area was indeed carrying out large-scale biological desulfurization and desalting projects.

The "bacteria concentration" on the instrument panel proved this point. Ordinary desalting areas would not pay attention to this indicator.

"You are responsible for scanning personnel, monitoring, and terrain. I will track Princeton's communication signal."

Mona said softly in the internal communication channel of the two-person team.

Li Nuo nodded in response, took off the bird divination instrument from his leg, and pressed the scan button.

Invisible broadband electromagnetic waves quickly swept across the entire desalting area, and the terrain data collected by the bird divination instrument was transmitted to the holographic goggles in real time.

A virtual image created by the holographic goggles appeared in Li Nuo's vision.

"Mona, the monitoring route and patrol personnel have been scanned. There are seven humanoid creatures here. The vital sign index shows that they have undergone a certain degree of strengthening and transformation and are not energetic users. I am collecting weapon data."

Li Nuo waited a few seconds, and the bird divination instrument sent back feedback, the content of which made him frown slightly:

"Those seven people are equipped with high-powered laser rifles and plastic steel armor, which doesn't look like ordinary factory security personnel. They don't seem to have found us yet. Also, I think there's something wrong with their positions…"

Li Nuo pressed a few times on the bird divination instrument, transmitted the collected coordinate data to Mona, and then said:

"These seven people are not guarding the road between the desalting area and the outside world, but are concentrated on protecting the gate leading from the desalting area to the conversion area. Could it be that Princeton is in the conversion area?"

Mona nodded slightly:

"That's possible. The communication signal I detected points to our west, and the conversion area is in that direction. I'll contact the other teams and use triangulation to determine the target's location. You stay alert."

"Roger." Li Nuo held the bird divination instrument in one hand and pressed the grip of the laser rifle with the other, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

Princeton has blurred his communication signal.

After the agents enter the factory, they can reduce the scanning range of the bird divination instrument and increase the scanning accuracy to lock Princeton's communication signal using the three-point positioning method.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, Princeton and his data panel are located in two different locations.

The communication signal sent by the data panel is just a smokescreen, and Princeton himself has already fled the refinery.

This possibility is not impossible, but it does not prevent the agents from finding Princeton's data panel first and then discussing the next step.

"Beep beep beep…"

The armor's sensor issued a warning in Li Nuo and Mona's ears.

The two simultaneously tightened their grips on the laser rifles and entered combat status back to back.

The holographic goggles marked the nearby enemies in the first time.

Scarlet marks were stuck in Li Nuo's vision like nails.

The moment he saw the enemy clearly, a term popped out of his memory.

Hydrothermal.

But the problem is, why are these hydrothermals a little green?
