I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Later the same day.

Li Nuo stood the bed board in his dwelling up against the wall, clearing a space in the center of the room.

The materials needed for the simulation were gathered and placed in the open area.

Insect-repelling incense bought from a roadside stall was placed around the materials.

The faint scent of insect repellent wafted through the air as the promethium lamp cast its blue-white glow, filling the room with a hazy light and adding a touch of mystery to the simple dwelling.

The scene looked like a ritual site, and Li Nuo, dressed in clean clothes, resembled the host of the ritual.

Okay, he admitted it.

In a different world where gods existed, he decided to try his luck with metaphysics.

The "ritual site" before him was something he had cobbled together himself; it had no practical significance and didn't involve the Warp, but was merely for psychological comfort.

Li Nuo stood directly in front of the simulation materials, his eyes slightly widened, gazing intently at the water mine with a solemn expression.

"From the ravages of hunger, edible fungi save us."

"From the attacks of pathogens, penicillin purifies us."

"From the rejection reactions of organ transplants, Trichoderma protect us."

"From the harm of pests to crops, Beauveria bassiana guards us."

"From the struggle of biological control, gliotoxin shelters us."

Li Nuo paused for half a second, mentally opened the simulation interface, and while silently reciting the "prayer," issued instructions to the system.

"Touch the system interface once! Create culture medium and nutrient solution containing alcohol, and separate the fungal strains."

"Touch the system interface twice! Begin cultivation, and expose the experimental samples to direct sunlight!"

"Touch the system interface three times! Spray fungicide and antibiotics to eliminate miscellaneous bacterial contamination, praise the Mushroom Farm!"

System messages rapidly refreshed.

[Day 1: You use culture medium and nutrient solution containing alcohol to cultivate the fungal strains. The light intensity is 400 lux. Regardless of whether visually observable miscellaneous bacterial contamination appears, you will use fungicide and antibiotics on the samples once a day.]

[Day 2: Half of the samples lose activity, while the other half survive the torment.]

[Day 6: Only a quarter of the samples survive, with the rest losing activity. The surviving samples develop fruiting bodies. You turn off the sunlight, increase the relative humidity to 95%, and replenish moisture to the fruiting bodies on time.]

[Day 7: The vast majority of the surviving experimental samples are contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria. Fungicide and antibiotics are ineffective against them. You isolate the contaminated cultivation bags. Fortunately, one sample remains unscathed and grows vigorously.]

Only one sample survived!

Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily held his breath.

[Day 10: The only sample grows to the standard size. You harvest it, obtaining 1 water mine free of miscellaneous bacterial contamination and toxicity.]

[Simulation complete.]

[Simulation plan recorded.]

[Congratulations, you have successfully cultivated it.]

[Do you want to consume all the materials required for the simulation to obtain 1 domesticated water mine?]

"Holy crap, it really succeeded?!"

Unbelievable!

Li Nuo rubbed his eyes and looked at the system interface again.

Yes!

It really succeeded!

Li Nuo trembled with excitement, repeatedly checking the simulation process as if witnessing a great miracle.

As a professional, he was well aware of how outrageous this simulation process was, completely deserving of the term 'unorthodox.'

Alcohol can denature the proteins of bacteria and fungi, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting.

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can damage the DNA structure of microorganisms, thereby killing miscellaneous bacteria and fungi, or inhibiting their growth.

Alcohol and ultraviolet light worked together, indiscriminately killing bacteria and fungi, and the hyphae of the water mine were also on the kill list.

That wasn't the end of it.

In this simulation, Li Nuo specifically requested the system to use fungicide and antibiotics on the samples every day.

With all kinds of methods used together, even people couldn't bear it, but one sample survived the torment of alcohol and ultraviolet light, and withstood the torture of fungicides, antibiotics, and miscellaneous bacteria, becoming the only survivor.

My god, this is too awesome, did the surviving sample cheat?

Li Nuo felt that his common sense was being shattered by the fungi of the Warhammer world.

As expected of the Warhammer world, the fungi here are too resilient.

However, now is not the time to pop champagne and express emotions; there are still many things to do.

Li Nuo held down his violently heaving chest and forced himself to calm down.

"I confirm the consumption of the simulation materials to obtain the simulation results."

Most of the materials on the floor disappeared.

[Fungal warehouse updated.]

[Added 1 domesticated water mine.]

Li Nuo pointed to the materials on the ground that were not consumed by the system and instructed:

"Start simulating the cultivation of domesticated water mines. Collect fungal strains and cultivate them in different cultivation bags. This time, use culture medium and nutrient solution without alcohol, and refer to the formula from my first simulation of cultivating water mines for the ingredient ratio."

[Cultivation object, culture medium, and nutrient solution settings completed.]

[Please set the simulation parameters.]

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly pondered.

The domesticated water mine showed extraordinary life tenacity and obviously had resistance to ultraviolet light.

Since this is the case, then try cultivating it in a light environment; maybe there will be surprises.

"Standard atmospheric pressure, room temperature 20 degrees, relative humidity 80%, light intensity 200 lux, proper ventilation."

[Simulation parameters set.]

[Start simulation.]

[Day 1: You completed sowing.]

The latest novels are available on 69shu.com!

[...]

[Day 3: The fungal strains grow to the standard size. You harvest them, obtaining 15 domesticated water mines.]

[Simulation plan recorded.]

[Do you want to consume the materials to obtain the simulation results?]

Harvest in three days!

This growth rate would scare my mentor into a faint.

Li Nuo gave the panel a thumbs up, affirming the growth rate of the water mine.

"Confirm the consumption of materials to obtain the simulation results."

[Fungal warehouse updated.]

[Added 15 domesticated water mines.]

Li Nuo raised his hand and mentally retrieved 1 water mine.

A round, white sphere appeared in his hand, about seven centimeters in diameter.

Li Nuo squeezed it slightly, feeling a clear elasticity, and the smooth touch from his fingertips was very similar to that of white fungus.

After careful observation, he was quite satisfied with the new appearance of the water mine.

Wild water mines are dark and unsightly.

The domesticated water mine is white and clean, like a peeled boiled egg, with a full score for appearance.

It's just that I don't know if the water storage capacity has been weakened due to domestication.

"Analyze fungus."

[Name: Domesticated Water Mine]

[Analysis results:]

[A peculiar fungal organism, free of miscellaneous bacterial contamination and toxicity, feeds on pure water, protein, and air, and its metabolic products are mainly carbon dioxide.]

[The gelatinous substance on its surface has extremely strong hydrophilicity. The septum inside the gelatinous substance can prevent water evaporation and isolate miscellaneous bacteria and toxic substances, thereby achieving long-term storage of pure water.]

Awesome, awesome.

The water storage capacity of the white water mine has not decreased, and it can be used as a long-term storage container for pure water.

It was worth spending nearly a hundred ration cards to buy various materials.

Li Nuo squeezed the water mine in his hand hard.

Pure water squeezed out from it, flowing down along his fingers.

Li Nuo caught the water flow with his mouth.

The water quality was pure and clear, and the taste was comparable to fine wine, making people exclaim with satisfaction.

Good, good, very good. My water problem is finally solved. The probability of getting sick has greatly decreased!

Li Nuo squeezed out all the pure water from the water mine and drank to his heart's content.

The water mine was squeezed clean, shrinking to the size of a glass marble.

After a little thought, Li Nuo decided to give it a new name.

"The name 'Water Mine' is loud but not elegant enough. From today on, you will be called Water Orb Fungus."

[Fungal panel updated.]

Li Nuo looked around, his gaze swept over the rising smoke, his face full of smiles.

Praise mycology, praise the [Mushroom Farm] system~

Once I get the luminescent fungi that Leia brings, I can start solving the lighting problem.

Now, let's go check out the situation at the cigarette factory; I wonder what the selection exam will test.
