I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 113: Brother Nie's Certified Anti-Chaos Weapon
Over the past month, Li Nuo has been very busy.

Apart from going online to claim the magical spores made by Mad Doctor Sack, he had almost no time to perform the Waaagh simulation.

After returning from the spy base, Tido was worried that the planetary defense force would be infiltrated by the rebels, so she hurried to find her father to discuss countermeasures.

Li Nuo took a break from his busy schedule and came to the laboratory alone, entering the deepest suite.

This is his residence, which has rooms for all kinds of purposes, from bedrooms, study to kitchens and bathrooms.

Only a scientific research fanatic like him could do something like setting up residence in the laboratory.

Brandi, the domestic servant, still acts as his aunt, helping him look after his laboratory and residence on weekdays and providing convenience for his daily life.

"Master, Leia called you half an hour ago. Your datapad was in an area with no signal at the time. I answered the call for you."

The agent base blocked external communications.

It is normal that calls cannot be made through the public network.

Li Nuo clicked on the communication recording and listened to it.

Leia was so happy after receiving the holographic device that she called to express her gratitude.

Apart from this, nothing else matters.

Li Nuo turned off the communication recording and asked Brandi to prepare some drinks and fruits for him and send them to the study.

After Brandi brought the drinks and fruits, Li Nuo locked the door of the study, opened the system interface and checked the status of the archive.

[Remaining simulation points: 7605 points. ]

[Universal Psychic Material: 35/312 pieces. ]

[Number of magical spores: 68. ]

[Archive 1: Mad Doctor Sack.]

Archived briefings:

[After defeating the Red Eyes Clan, the Steel Coin Clan's technology level and number of personnel increased by leaps and bounds, becoming one of the most powerful orc clans in this area.]

[Not long ago, they occupied the wreckage of a wrecked ship in a nearly crushing manner.]

[Under the command of clan leader Ailon, the Steel Coin Clan is concentrating its efforts on building spaceship engines. ]

[Two days ago, the plasma reactor built by Technician Boy exploded, injuring thousands of orcs.]

[The combat power of the Gangbizi clan has declined to a certain extent, and spies from other clans have appeared around the territory.]

[On the premise of ensuring the production of magical spores, Mad Doctor Sack participated in the rescue under the order of Aaron. ]

[Since Livestock Boy doubled the amount of meat Squiggs he supplied to Mad Doctor, the production of Magic Spores has reached six per day. As of now, there are 30 Magic Spores waiting to be claimed.]

"The Steel Coin Clan is advancing technology at a very fast pace. Once they build a plasma reactor, the spacecraft made of scrap copper and iron will be able to take off.

"The Steel Coin Clan currently only has a young technician, and lacks a Tech Master to guide them. Was the explosion of their plasma reactor caused by the lack of a Tech Master?
"It's never a good thing for spies from other clans to appear around the territory. We might be attacked in the next few days. I have to keep an eye on them."

Li Nuo rubbed his chin and clicked on the second archived briefing while thinking.

[Archive 2: Technician boy Gujia. ]

Archived briefings:

[The Orc pirate fleet carried out three very Waaagh interstellar raids.]

[They made a lot of money, and their ships were filled with gold, silver and treasures, but their vitality was also greatly damaged.]

[During a recent raid, they encountered an Craft World that was being attacked by Black Bean Sprouts. ]

[Taking advantage of the fact that the sharp ears of the Ark World were attracted by the black bean sprouts, the Orc Pirate Fleet plundered a material warehouse in the Ark World at lightning speed.]

[On the way to escape the scene, the Orc Pirate Fleet was chased by Pointed Ears and Black Bean Sprouts. They lost one ship in exchange for enough loot to fill two spaceships.]

[The Orc Pirate Fleet is using the loot to build new spaceships. ]

[Technician Gu Jia is very busy with this. ]

"Awesome, really awesome. Being outnumbered by Black Bean Sprout and the Ark Eldar, the Orc Pirates actually managed to escape with the spoils!"

Li Nuo sighed and felt very sorry for missing such a grand Waaaagh.

The Ark Eldar have a lot of advanced technology.

For example: spirit bones.

This thing is essentially a crystallized warp energy that exists in solid form in the physical universe.

There is a unit among the Eldar called Bonesingers.

It can use psionic energy to shape the wraithbone, transforming it into a variety of forms, such as weapons, armor, rooms, spaceship hulls and keels, and even engines.

The hardness of spirit bones is even more ridiculous than that of refined gold, and they can also repair themselves.

The most important thing is that it can spontaneously generate a layer of psychic shield, making things covered by the spirit bone immune to the influence of the subspace.

Slaanesh was created during the Great Impart of the Century, and the resulting Warp Storms killed many Eldar.

The Ark Eldar use wraithbone to construct the shell and framework of their Craftworlds.

They were protected by the spirit bones and that's how they survived the disaster.

This shows how powerful the wraiths are in fighting the Warp. It's no exaggeration to say that they are certified by Slaanesh.

Li Nuo thought that using spirit bones to create Junstat's weapons and equipment was simply amazing, as it could directly increase the chaos resistance to the extreme.

"Hmm... there should be spirit bones among the spoils taken back by the orc pirates. I have to go online and see the true appearance of this material."

Li Nuo rubbed his hands excitedly, took out a magical spore and put it in his mouth, reading the technician boy's archive.

[Number of magical spores: 67. ]

【Read the archive successfully.】

The consciousness left the body and quickly traveled through the sea of stars.

After a few breaths, two orc pirate ships appeared in front of them.

The two ships were docked side by side, with a distance of three or four hundred meters between them.

Between the two ships is a crude engineering platform, where the Fart Spirit and the Technician Boy, wearing wasteland-style space suits, are building a spaceship.

Li Nuo's consciousness made a sharp turn above the engineering platform, fell straight down, and plunged into Gu Jia's body.

When I opened my eyes, my face was covered by a spherical helmet similar to that of a diver. The air tank on my back was buzzing, and air with a sweaty smell was continuously delivered into the helmet.

The noisy sound poured into my ears through the gaps in my space suit.

"Quick, quick, quick! Solder this shiny thing on!"

"Come and see the big bang bang I built!"

"Idiot! Your bang bang is too small! Look at mine! It's big, thick, and black! Bang bang! Bang bang hard!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Put the bang bang in place for me!"

Li Nuo raised his hand and sealed the gap in the space suit with his fingertips. The sound in his ears suddenly became much quieter.

Move your finger away and the sound gets louder.

Damn, what’s going on?
There are gaps in the space suit. Wouldn't the air inside the suit be sucked away by the vacuum environment?

But why is the space suit intact and not deflated?
and also.

Am I not in space?

Why can I hear other people talking?

Li Nuo just felt incredible and couldn't help looking around.

Not far away, a glittering cylinder caught his eye, evoking memories of Gu Jia, and made Li Nuo suddenly realize.

The cylinder had an exquisite shape, and its surface was covered with lines of varying depths, which was completely different from the style of the orcs' ships.

After searching Gu Jia's memory, Li Nuo found out:
This cylinder was looted from the Ark Eldar.

It projects a force field that operates in a vacuum, providing a steady supply of air and positive pressure to creatures within the force field.

Li Nuo didn't know what the Ark Eldar called this thing, but among the Orc pirates, this thing was called "Air Stick".

The Orks working on the engineering platforms did not trust the Eldar equipment, so they still wore space suits even though there were air sticks providing air and positive pressure.

What material is this stick made of?

Could it be spiritual bones?

Li Nuo had an idea and aimed at the cylinder and used the identification spell.

【Identification successful.】

[Name: Air Stick, Space Survival Force Field Generator.]

【describe:】

[An Ark Eldar device made by a bone-singer using spirit bones as raw materials. 】

[It has the characteristics of both technology and psychic power, and can use electricity or psychic power as energy. ]

[The force field it generates can not only provide survival protection for space workers, but also resist the invasion of subspace to a certain extent. ]

It really is an Eldar device made with spirit bones.

Li Nuo pondered secretly, mobilizing his innate power of thinking.

I think we orcs can also shape spirit bones.

System message refresh.

[Searching the genetic knowledge base for mechanical wizardry that can solve the problem. ]

【...】

【Search completed.】

【Search results: 1 item. 】

"!!!" Li Nuo's heart was shocked. He didn't expect that he could really come up with something useful.

He looked around, then walked aside with the materials in his hands, found a place where he would not be disturbed, and while welding iron sheets to the ship's keel, he checked the search results.

[Name: A Guide to Subspace Crystal Hammer Forging.]

【Learning cost: 100 skill points. 】

【illustrate:】

[Forging subspace crystals by hammering. 】

[The tools, forging tables, and consumables required for this mechanical sorcery are all made of universal psychic materials. ]

[The Hammer Forging Guide only contains the hammer forging method, and does not include the production drawings of hammer forging tools, forging tables and consumables. ]

Li Nuo continued to use his thinking power to think out and exchange all the drawings that were compatible with the hammer forging technique.

[You consume 2000 points to exchange for 200 skill points.]

[You spend 200 skill points to learn the following mechanical sorcery:] [1. Subspace Crystal Hammer Forging Guide.]

【2. Drawings for making hammer forging tool sets. 】

【3. Forging table production drawings. 】

【4. Adhesive production configuration. 】

【5. Cutting fluid production drawings. 】

[Remaining simulation points: 5605 points. ]

A large wave of points were distributed, and the harvest was great.

Li Nuo looked through the drawings in his mind and a smile appeared on his face.

Judging from the description in the blueprint, spirit bones are a type of subspace crystal. In addition to spirit bones, there are some other types of subspace crystals.

As long as it is a subspace crystal, this hammer forging technique can be used to shape it.

Taking spirit bones as an example, in the process of hammering this object, no universal spiritual energy materials need to be consumed.

The only places where universal psychic materials are needed are in the making of forging tables, forging tools and consumables.

Among them, the forging table and forging tools can be used continuously as long as they are not broken.

Only forging consumables require regular consumption of universal psychic materials for replenishment.

Li Nuo made a rough estimate and found that processing 100 kilograms of spiritual bones would require 10 pieces of universal spiritual energy materials.

This expense is within an affordable range.

There is only one problem now, and that is how to obtain the spiritual bones.

Li Nuo searched through Gu Jia's memory and was surprised to find tons of spiritual bones stored in the cabin.

Li Nuo's mind became active, and he was thinking about getting the spiritual bones.

The Orc Pirate Fleet is free and undisciplined, with no fixed base, and the fleet's current spatial coordinates are a mystery.

Even if he had the ability to organize a fleet to attack the orc pirates, he would not be able to find the exact location of the fleet.

Li Nuo was worried because there were so many spiritual bones right in front of him but he couldn't get them.

Wraithbones are made of crystallized subspace energy, not fungi, nor substances produced by fungi.

Storing it in a fungal warehouse is pure wishful thinking.

How much Li Nuo hoped that his fungal warehouse could evolve into a storage space where he could stuff anything into it.

"It would be great if the spirit bone was a fungus. Then I could store it in the fungus warehouse and take it away... eh? Wait a minute?"

Li Nuo suddenly shuddered, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

Subspace energy!
Spirit bones are crystallized subspace energy!

Warp energy is not a product of fungi and fungi... yet!
Can fungi that feed on subspace energy transform spirit bones into another substance that can be stored in the fungal warehouse through metabolism?
Li Nuo thought of four kinds of psychic fungi that he had kept in his collection.

These four fungi have been stored in the fungal warehouse.

Since the cultivation process requires subspace energy and the system cannot provide this energy, these three fungi can only be cultivated outside the simulated space.

Li Nuo thought it was troublesome and never conducted in-depth research on these four types of psychic fungi.

they are, respectively:
Ghost mushrooms;

Psychic fungi that can desalinate and desulfurize promethium;
Psychic fungi that can control hydrothermal fluids;

Also, it is corrupted by Nurgle and is in a superposition state of the Warp. Once it is studied, it will escape into the psychic mold of the Warp.

These four are the psychic fungi that Li Nuo has collected so far.

Among these, the only one that is 100% certain to feed on subspace energy is the psychic mold.

The recipes for the other three types of psychic fungi are not very clear at the moment.

As his thoughts raced, all the iron sheets in his hand were welded. Li Nuo took the opportunity to go back to get the materials and passed by the warehouse where the spirit bones were stored.

The orcs did not know the value of spirit bones and mistook scrap iron for treasure.

This group of uneducated green-skinned aliens threw the bones everywhere, neglected to take care of them, and instead kept a close eye on the scrap metal.

Li Nuo bent down, picked up a piece of bone that looked like a tile and put it in his pocket, then picked up a pile of iron sheets and continued to weld them on the engineering platform.

He locked the spirit bone in his pocket with his mind, opened the system interface, and enabled the fungus simulation function.

"System, select the psychic fungus with desalination and desulfurization as the experimental subject, use the spiritual bones in my pocket as nutrients, and try to cultivate psychic fungus."

【Simulation parameters are set.】

[Please note that this simulation will be conducted in the physical universe, not the system space. ]

[During the simulation, please do not let the simulation material out of your perception range, otherwise the simulation will fail. ]

[During the simulation settlement, the system will consume the experimental samples and simulation materials used in the simulation to provide you with the simulation product. ]

[Are you sure you want to start the simulation? ]

Li Nuo avoided the chattering fart spirits and orcs and went to a quiet corner to weld the iron sheet:

"Confirmed, let's start the simulation now."

【This simulation officially begins. 】

[On the first day, in the space environment and the force field created by the air stick, you used tile-shaped spirit bones as slides and culture media for cultivating fungi, and completed the cultivation of psychic fungi.]

No.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Li Nuo looked at the system message and felt a little confused.

I am now in space, within the force field of the air stick, so the force field of space and air sticks also appears in the simulated environment?

It turns out that when simulating in the physical universe, the system will automatically read the environmental parameters around the host.

It's not so good in space.

Radiation in space is ever-changing.

A stream of high-energy charged particles ejected during a solar flare.

There are also cosmic rays composed of high-energy protons and high-energy heavy ions.

In the world before the time travel, the plant seeds and animal embryos that went into space with the astronauts had basically mutated.

Now, I’m conducting fungal experiments in space.

Given the fragility of microorganisms, mutation in space is a foregone conclusion.

Li Nuo wanted to terminate the simulation process and move indoors to conduct the simulation.

But out of curiosity, he stopped thinking about it and continued to check the progress of the simulation.

【Day 2 to Day 5:】

[More than half of the 100 experimental samples died. ]

[There is no salt or sulfur in the spirit bones, so the dead specimen cannot obtain nutrients from them and thus dies of starvation.]

[The surviving specimens changed their metabolic pattern from feeding on salt and sulfur to feeding on subspace energy.]

It is normal for fungi to change their metabolic patterns.

Take yeast as an example.

Yeasts are generally anaerobic, but most of them can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.

When there is oxygen, they perform aerobic respiration, oxidizing and breaking down sugars and converting them into nutrients needed for their growth.

When there is no oxygen, they ferment and convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, using the carbon source, nitrogen source and inorganic salts produced during the reaction as nutrients.

The state of the psychic fungus at this time is similar to that of yeast.

Under the pressure of the environment, they entered a metabolic mode of absorbing subspace energy in order to survive.

【Day 7 to Day 12:】

[Only 100 out of 19 samples survived, and the rest died from lack of nutrients. ]

[You found that among the 19 existing samples, 11 of them have different degrees of mutation.]

[Their mutated appearance is shown in the figure:]

【...】

The system presents the image of the holographic microscope on the interface.

There are 11 pictures, corresponding to 11 mutated samples, and each sample has become strange in shape.

Tentacles, lumps, tumor-like bumps, feather-like chitin layers, protrusions that resemble teeth and nails...

The weird mutated parts were pushed together, making Li Nuo feel a chill down his spine.

The system sent a query.

【At this time, you decide? 】

"I decided to render the mutated samples harmless and discard them."

[On the twelfth day, you render the mutated samples harmless and discard them, and continue the simulation experiment with the remaining 8 samples.]

[On the thirteenth day, no samples died, which means that the existing samples are used to feeding on crystallized subspace energy, and the nutrients they absorb from the spirit bones every day are enough to support their survival and growth.]

[On the fourteenth day, one of the eight samples showed vigorous growth, and its colony had grown to a level that could be observed with the naked eye.]

You use automated chromatography, mass spectrometry, and microbial sensors to track the metabolites in this sample.

【You found that there is only one metabolite. 】

[The microscopic structure of this substance is somewhat similar to that of spirit bones. Its holographic microscopic image is shown below:]

【...】

A large picture appeared in front of Li Nuo, occupying at least half of his field of vision.

Li Nuo's pupils slowly contracted as he was stunned by the huge picture in front of him.

Tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons... countless axially symmetrical polyhedrons form a lattice-like framework, and there are patterns on the surface of the polyhedrons that look like integrated circuits.

This is a three-dimensional image composed of polygons. It is magnificent and full of the beauty of symmetry. Every stroke is as precise as if it were the work of a god.

This thing is definitely not a creation of nature.

An identification spell was thrown out, and the result made Li Nuo feel excited.
