Chapter 123 Castration of Orcs
Xiachao, District 8, Jingshui Street, Li Nuo’s water purification plant.

In the unused workshop, Laiya set up a circular runway and obstacles.

The holographic device that Li Nuo bought for her is in working order.

The holographic projection rendered the circular runway into a war scene with raging gunfire, and the obstacles in the factory were rendered into tanks, monsters, bunkers in trenches, and mountains of corpses.

Leia was wearing a vest and trousers, holding a water pipe that looked like a gun.

Beside her were a dozen Imperial soldiers created by holographic devices.

Leia traveled through the war with these virtual figures.

Firing shots, taking turns to provide cover, charging into the trenches to fight off the enemy, Leia followed the instructions in the headphones and executed each step with precision.

She and her virtual teammates are fighting against a kind of insect-like alien. (Note 0)

This alien has huge mouthparts, sharp claws, and strong and powerful lower limbs.

They are as fast as the wind and kill people like flies. Even if they fight alone, they can fight against several soldiers of the human empire at the same time.

A tide of insect-like aliens swarmed into the trenches, and the sharp chirping of insects hurt the eardrums, but Leia seemed to have been accustomed to it and turned a deaf ear to it.

She nimbly dodged the bugs that pounced on her and used the trench walls as cover to block the claws that were stabbing at her.

"Da da da——" The bullet exploded in the insect's mouthparts, creating black blood.

With a wail, the alien's head exploded and a line of virtual text popped up beside it.

"Kill a Yaz Zerg, virtual battlefield score +10."

Leia chuckled and prepared to rush to support her teammates who were under attack.

At this moment, the projected virtual scene was paused by the holographic device, and a virtual communication interface popped up in front of Leia.

"Hello? Li Nuo?...Okay, come on."

After a brief communication, Leia gave instructions to the holographic device to shut down the holographic projection.

The virtual scene inside the factory disappeared.

A holographic device stands in the corner. It is a large and precious device that can create a virtual scene covering thousands of square meters.

The nobles of Shangchao like to use this equipment to create a party atmosphere.

For her part, Leia prefers to train herself with the popular holographic war game in Upper Nest.

Physical fitness, shooting feel, combat literacy, designated tactics, and all aspects of training content can be found in the holographic war game.

Entertainment is only one of the functions of the holographic device. Another use is to access the public database of the upper nest.

As far as she could remember, Leia had never seen another person with purple eyes, not even her parents.

She was very curious about this phenomenon and searched for information about it in the database.

The search results point to a planet in the hazy star field.

17 years ago, in the 30th year of the 966th millennium.

The Empire's expeditionary fleet discovered a magnificent cosmic wonder on the edge of the hazy star field. It was a huge "eye" that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

It was named "The Giant Eye" by the scholars of the empire. (Note 1)

There is extremely strong magnetic field interference and radiation around the giant eye.

Nearby is a planet called Cadia, where a very backward human civilization exists in the Stone Age.

The people there also have purple pupils.

Imperial scholars believe that Cadia's eyes appear purple due to years of radiation from the giant eye, which is an acceptable neutral mutation.

Leia breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she understood why her eyes were purple.

It is estimated that when she was very young, an accident that she had no recollection of caused a neutral mutation in her eyes.

That's why she has a unique eye color.

She didn't know why, but in her memory, her parents had never talked to her about eye color.

Leia couldn't help but fall into reminiscence, carefully searching for memories in this regard.

"Click." The door of the factory was pushed open.

Li Nuo walked in from the main workshop of the water purification plant. "So you are here. I was wondering why I didn't see you after walking around outside. What are you thinking about? You look so focused."

"Hmm? You're here. Nothing, I was just thinking about my past life." Leia came back to her senses and asked:

"Are you planning to further increase the water purification capacity? Then I'll clean up here."

"No, no, I'm here for something else." Li Nuo glanced at the obstacles in the workshop, then glanced at the game interface on the holographic device screen, and guessed in his heart that Leia used this place as a place to play holographic games.

Up to now, the water supply of Baiguo Manor is normal, which shows that Laiya has not lost his ambition due to pleasure.

She was alone in the water treatment plant, and if she didn't play games to kill time, she might go crazy.

Just play, it's no big deal.

Li Nuo chatted with Laiya for a while, asked the other party to help prepare the tools and metal materials, and then he entered the secret room alone with these things.

He wants to improve the bioreactor of Pseudococcus aureus here.

The current version of the bioreactor is made using orcish mechanical sorcery and requires the consumption of universal psionic materials.

In order to overturn the table of the Water family and get rid of the water of the Water Guild, Li Nuo must first find a way to make a bioreactor without using psychic materials.

He disassembled the production process, stopped at the stage of using psychic materials, and thought deeply about this stage.

After an hour-long research, Li Nuo had a new understanding of the relationship between mechanical witchcraft and psychic materials.

As we all know, there are several important parameters when electrical appliances are operating:
Power, voltage, current, resistance.

For a power supply made of psychic materials and metal materials, there is no need to consider these parameters at all. Just connect the wires and you're done.

The green-skinned uncle never cares about voltage, resistance, current, and power. We think that if it can be used as long as it is connected to electricity, then it will definitely work.

Automatically adjusting the parameters of electrical appliances is one of the functions of universal psychic materials in mechanical witchcraft.

With the involvement of this material, the electricity in the bioreactor will always be in a state that is compatible with the reactor.

Li Nuo removed the bioreactor's witchcraft power supply and instead used a programmable power supply produced by human technology.

After several rounds of testing, a complete set of power supply solutions matching the bioreactor was launched.

After this solution was introduced into the programmable power supply, the bioreactor could operate without the witch power supply.

The operation is smooth and silky, no different from when using witchcraft power.

With the advent of a power supply solution, the work of improving the bioreactor was completed.

Now, Li Nuo can find any OEM factory to mass-produce new bioreactors without Escherichia coli.

The story doesn’t end here.

In order to prevent malicious people from cracking the bioreactor and to prevent the mycelium of Escherichia coli from falling into the hands of others, Li Nuo specially logged into the "account" of the technician Gu Jia and thought of a safety device.

[Name: Cracker Nemesis]

【illustrate:】

[This is a safety device used to counter cracking methods. ]

[After installation, any attempt to hack the mechanical device will cause a huge explosion! ]

The production of the new bioreactors is outsourced to OEMs.

The work of installing the water poccoccus and the Cracker Buster in the bioreactor was completed independently by Laiya.

After Leia installed the Water Pacillus and the Cracker Buster, she handed the bioreactor to Isabel and asked her to transport it to the newly built water treatment plant.

In this way, the problem of water purification equipment is solved.

In order to improve Laya's work efficiency, Li Nuo plans to tailor a set of robotic arms for her, and at the same time increase the specifications of the bioreactor to a giant one.

If you have time to play games, you must have time to work overtime!

One giant bioreactor corresponds to one new water purification plant.

At the rate of assembling one unit per day, Laiya only needs to work hard for a hundred days to prepare water purification equipment for a hundred water purification plants.

It should be pretty easy.

"Laya, I have good news for you." Li Nuo walked out of the room with a satisfied smile, holding in his hand the assembly drawing of a giant bioreactor.

"What good news?" Laiya's eyes rolled and the corners of her mouth curved up, "Are you going to give me a raise?"

"Yes, I'm going to give you a raise, and you may not have to stay here every day in the future." Li Nuo smiled and handed the blueprint in his hand to the other party:

"Here, study it yourself. My fiancée and my assistant will be here soon. When they arrive, I will tell you what these drawings are for."

"Oh, okay... no, wait, you have a fiancée?" Leia was surprised, her purple eyes widened, "If I remember correctly, you are only 15 years old?!"

Laiya has known Li Nuo since he started selling mushrooms.

Laiya witnessed how a skinny and small boy from the lower nest gradually grew into the appearance and figure he has today.

It was precisely because she knew that the other party's actual age was only 15 years old that Laiya treated Li Nuo as a companion from beginning to end and did not have any other thoughts.

Just as Laiya's brain was shutting down, a bell rang at the front door of the water treatment plant.

Li Nuo went to open the door and led the way for Tido and Isabel.

The other two people already knew that Li Nuo had a water purification plant in Xiachao, and this was their first visit there.

The first time she saw Isabel, Leia let out a sharp cry:
"Isabelle Crumb? Are you Isabel Crumb? I've seen your poster on the counter of Crumb's cigarette shop! I've been smoking your family's cigarettes recently! Oh my God~ I didn't expect that Li Nuo's fiancée would be you?!"

Li Nuo raised his hand and slapped his forehead, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Tido held her belly and laughed wildly. She almost lost her balance and fell into the pool. Fortunately, Li Nuo grabbed her arm.

Isabel shook her hands in embarrassment:
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I am indeed Isabel from the Kram family, but I am not Li Nuo's fiancée. The one next to me is."

Now it was Laya's turn to be embarrassed. Her face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple. Li Nuo stood up and said:
"Laya, Isabel is my assistant, and she will be your assistant in the future. The one next to me is my fiancée, Tido Vogues..."

Leia took a sharp breath and her whole body tensed up as if she had been electrocuted.

The clean-up operation held not long ago caused quite a stir in the Lower Nest, and the names and images of various hunting lords were posted on the bulletin board in the form of posters to publicize the contributions of the Upper Nest nobles to the hive city.

In a sense, this is a measure to prevent riots from happening in the lower nest.

The resulting impact is that almost everyone in the Lower Nest knows that the current governor has one and only one descendant, and that is Tido Vorges.

"Oh, I can't take it anymore. I feel a little dizzy." Leia was dizzy by the sudden news.

"Then you take a moment to relax. I'll show them around and come see you later."

Li Nuo introduced Laya's identity and origin to Tido and Isabel, and did not hide the process of his acquaintance with Laya.

Water poccoccus is of great significance, and only those who truly stand on the same front with you are qualified to know the existence of water poccoccus.

Li Nuo didn't need to explain this, the intelligent Tido and the experienced Isabel would naturally think of it.

After witnessing the water purification efficiency of the hydrococcal bioreactor with their own eyes, the two of them celebrated by high-fiving on the spot, and the haze brought by the Water family was swept away.

Li Nuo recounted the plan for producing bioreactors.

After listening to this, Tido and Isabel fully supported it and made several suggestions.

The first is the security issue of this water purification plant.

Leia alone can't do it.

Isabel suggested recruiting security personnel willing to undergo implant transformation to protect the water treatment plant from the perimeter.

These security personnel will be implanted with locators and behavior restrictors. They must patrol or stand guard at designated locations during working hours and are not allowed to approach the water treatment plant after get off work, otherwise an alarm will be triggered or they may even be punished with electric shocks.

All security personnel at the Kram Cigarette Factory have undergone this type of transformation.

Li Nuo agreed with Isabel's proposal and let her be responsible for security matters.

Tido's suggestion was that the Fugas family's assembly plant should produce the bioreactor components.

Firstly, it can save the cost of hiring a OEM factory, and secondly, it is convenient to track the whereabouts of each component.

Whenever a part is missing, Tido will receive the news immediately and send people to search for it.

This suggestion is not bad, and Li Nuo has no reason to refuse.

The work of assembling the bioreactor and installing the mycelium of the water poccoccus and the Cracker Nemesis was still done by Laya.

After Li Nuo's simplification, the assembly process is not complicated and is basically a fool-proof mechanical operation. Laya will definitely have no problem with it.

The three of them wandered around the water purification plant and returned to Laiya.

At this time, Leia had recovered from the shock and reluctantly accepted the fact that the boy she knew had become a big man.

Tido, Laya and Isabel discussed the details.

Li Nuo has the robotic arm in the room that Leia will need in the future.

Later that day, Li Nuo and the other two said goodbye to Leia and returned to the upper nest.

The three of them enjoyed dinner prepared by Brandi at Li Nuo's residence.

After dinner, Tido and Isabel continued to discuss the plan in the laboratory.

Li Nuo entered the study, sat on a chair and waited quietly for the simulation results.

On the simulation interface, lines of system text are refreshed, and the old text is quickly overwritten by the new text.

【Fungal gene simulation experiment】

[On the 73194th day, you conduct the 42515th experiment.]

[In this experiment, you use the orc fungus gene fragment related to "reproduction" as the experimental subject. ]

【The gene editing tool you use is the "TDD-IE-1311" artificial nuclease technology. 】

【The expression vector you used is "CVCPSE-ABB-15" yeast. 】

【Gene editing work begins.】

【...】

After three ellipsis marks, a large amount of information related to the operation steps appears on the simulation interface.

The gene editing steps are mechanized and can be skipped.

After the operation is completed, you can directly view the results.

The key point is the expression vector of gene editing.

The expression vector chosen by Li Nuo was yeast that he created by simulating fungal cultivation.

Whether before or after crossing, yeast is a commonly used host cell in the field of biotechnology.

This single-celled eukaryotic organism has a simple structure, grows fast and is easy to culture.

The simple biological structure means that the genetic fragments of the yeast itself have little impact on gene editing experiments.

The growth rate is fast, and experimenters do not need to wait too long for the effects of gene editing to be expressed in yeast.

If you use commercially available yeast, you may have to wait ten days to see the effects of gene editing. If you are unlucky, you may have to wait thirty or forty days.

The CVCPSE-ABB-15 yeast used by Li Nuo is different. Its expression speed is very fast, generally not exceeding ten days.

Invisibly, the efficiency of gene editing using this yeast has been increased several times.

In the short term, it is unlikely that a better gene editing expression vector than this yeast will emerge.

You use lithium salt to treat yeast cells to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, making it easier for the expression vector to enter the cell.

【The expression vector has been introduced into yeast. 】

You wait quietly for the yeast to express the effects of the gene editing.

【...】

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

In the picture, a lonely yeast is growing and developing in the culture medium.

Perhaps influenced by the fungal gene fragments from the technician boy, the color of the yeast changed from transparent to light green.

After the whole body turns light green, the yeast turns to asexual reproduction, and the number increases from one to two, and then from two to four...

Gradually, the originally lonely yeast multiplied into a light green colony the size of a fingernail.

The expansion of the colony slowed down at a rate visibly slowed down and eventually stopped.

Li Nuo's heartbeat quickened.

The bacterial colony in the holographic microscope image is not moving!

It stopped expanding!

This is exactly the scene Li Nuo has always dreamed of.

Orcs have no gender distinction, they reproduce asexually.

This reproductive ability is controlled by the orcs' fungal gene fragments.

Li Nuo has recently been exploring ways to stop the orcs from reproducing.

After the colony reached a certain size, the yeast carrying the fungal gene fragments related to "reproduction" stopped asexual reproduction as expected!
This means that the gene editing operation just performed can prevent the orcs from spreading reproductive spores at a certain stage of their lives.

After three days of simulation, the nutrients in the culture medium were exhausted.

The colony shrank at an extremely slow speed and eventually disappeared without any trace of life.

At this point, the fungal gene simulation comes to an end.

[Simulation successful! ]

[Congratulations on discovering a genetic modification program to curb the reproduction of orcs. ]

[Orcs transformed by this plan will stop spreading reproductive spores after growing to a certain stage and will no longer have the ability to reproduce. ]

Please name this renovation plan.

Since it is a genetic modification program used to curb reproduction, let's call it the Orc Reproduction Regulation Program.

Or it is called the orc cleansing plan, the orc castration plan, orc castration plan.

You can call me whatever you want.

The meaning is the same anyway.

Li Nuo observed a second of silence for himself, the future first bacteriastat.

To prevent it from indiscriminately spreading reproductive spores, it is doomed to have no offspring.

At this moment, Li Nuo seemed to understand why Space Marines and Primarchs could not reproduce.

"Castrated" Space Marines and Primarchs are good tools, and the same goes for the Germstatts.

On this point, Li Nuo felt that he and the Emperor, as well as a group of scientists such as Amael Astartes who created Thunder Warriors and Space Marines for the Emperor, shared the same views.

 Note 0: The insectoid aliens are not the Tyranids.

  Note 1: The Giant Eye is the Eye of Fear in later generations.

  During the Horus Heresy, the Eye expanded, consuming the surrounding starry sky.

  After the rebellion ended, the human empire attached great importance to it and selected Cadia as an outpost to monitor the Giant Eye.

  Cadia thus became the fortress world that it would become, and the Eye was renamed the Eye of Terror.

  The inhabitants of the fortress world of Cadia are not indigenous people, but migrated in later.
