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

Chapter 138 We are the greenskins of the new era

Tido and Vorges discussed how to respond to the four letters from the Space Marine Legions.

The main idea is to reply to the Legion in the same style as their letters are written.

The letter from the Imperial Fists was filled with fanatical worship of the Emperor, so in replying to this letter, we also praised and sang the Emperor's praises.

Similarly, the Ultramarines love flowery aristocratic rhetoric, and we can do the same here.

Vorges dug out from his own library the letters that the nobles had previously written to please him, copied a few paragraphs from different letters, slightly modified and polished them, and added them to the letter in reply to the Ultramarines Legion, and the task was accomplished.

The reply from the Luna Wolves was the most troubling.

The terms offered by Horus Lupercal were too generous.

In a way, rejecting his conditions would be like slapping him in the face.

Although Horus would not say it explicitly, as a Primarch, his inherent arrogance would drive him to have some negative emotions towards Epimet.

Tido and Fugas asked Shatana to work together to find a solution. After much thought, the three of them came to a conclusion.

First, the achievements of the Luna Wolves were highly praised, and the achievements of Horus himself were extolled.

Secondly, he expressed his enthusiasm in the letter, making it clear that he was tempted by the fertile conditions proposed by Horus.

Then, he took the opportunity to raise his own difficulties - other Space Marine legions also wanted to obtain the formula immediately, and he was thinking about how to meet the needs of all legions and primarchs, so he asked Horus to give him more time.

Finally, a promise was made to Horus that the Luna Wolves would have priority in purchasing synthetic starch.

Being enthusiastic, polite, giving the other party enough face, and remaining humble in front of the original body, the three of them focused on these four key points and worked together to write an impeccable reply.

After reading the reply letter, Li Nuo made some slight changes to the trading plan of the formula.

According to the original plan, buyers who paid the down payment by the end of this year could harvest the formula on the first day of next year.

Now, considering the great pressure from the Space Marine Legion, Li Nuo decided to move the delivery time of the formula to the middle of this year.

Any buyer who pays the down payment before the end of June this year will receive the formula on July 6st.

Modifying the trading plan in this way will not affect the final profit.

Because at this stage in the human empire, no one dares to go against the Space Marine Legion.

Imagine that after receiving the formula, the Space Marine Legion discovered that some governors were reselling the formula privately. What would the legion do?

Li Nuo was responsible for starting the group and accusing the Governor of violating the contract, and the rest of the liquidation work could be left to the Legion.

Considering that he might be able to use the prestige of the Legion to fight back against the resellers in the future, Li Nuo decided to give up some of his interests to the Legion to consolidate the friendship between the two sides.

He added a new item to his trade proposal:
Anyone who pays the full amount of the purchase price in one go by cash transfer can enjoy a 6% discount.

The price of the formula is 10 billion, and a 6% discount means 6 million throne coins.

Li Nuo originally planned to earn only a down payment, that is, to take 1.5 million Throne Coins from each trading counterparty.

Now, instead of 10 billion or 9 million, you only need 6 million to bring home the formula for the new synthetic starch.

If you grit your teeth, make an effort, tighten your belt and live a hard life in the short term, basically anyone above the level of star governor can afford this money.

Once big players start producing new synthetic starch, promethium refining residue will become a hot seller, even in short supply.

At that time, I will come up with a new promethium refining process, purchase promethium ore, build a promethium refinery, open up the upstream supply chain of synthetic starch, and take control of the output of raw materials.

After such an operation, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Such a bright prospect made Li Nuo's mouth almost crooked with smile.

Unfortunately, the existing mining worlds are very popular and no one will sell them, so Li Nuo needs to explore and build new mining worlds himself.

This means that planets that produce promethium ore are generally not available for purchase with throne coins.

Li Nuo could only explore unfamiliar galaxies and discover mineral planets that were not included in the empire's territory.

But the problem is that the governor does not have the power to explore unfamiliar planets. This is the authority of expedition fleets and wandering merchants.

Li Nuo could only settle for the second best. He tried hard to build good relations with the like-minded White Scars Legion, funding them to explore mineral planets and handing over the planets to himself for management and operation.

By then, the profits brought by the mineral planet will be distributed fairly, ensuring that both parties are satisfied. This will form a virtuous circle and strong positive feedback, constantly consolidating their friendship with the White Scars.

With this in mind, the letter in reply to White Scars was written by Li Nuo himself.

White Scar's letter quoted two lines of poetry inherited from ancient Terra. Li Nuo's reply also contained two lines of poetry, which just followed up on those two lines from White Scar.

On the same day that the four replies were sent, several more letters requesting to purchase the formula arrived at Epimate.

Thereafter, no less than ten pieces of mail appeared on the desk every day.

The trading partners who sent letters became more diverse, and even star governors and rogue traders appeared among them.

Time was spent processing formula transactions and advancing the Bone Drinker extermination plan.

During the sleeping time every night, Li Nuo would log into his "account" in space to make weapons and props needed for the battle.

Five days later, in the evening, in a private laboratory.

The single-molecule nucleic acid sequencer hums, the working indicator light remains on, and the pixel matrix is continuously refreshed on the sequencer's screen.

Fifteen types of fungal phage viruses carefully selected by Li Nuo were placed in the instrument and subjected to single-molecule sequencing one by one.

The instrument extracts and purifies the virus's genetic samples, and encapsulates them together with nanopores containing α-hemolysin protein to form genetic templates that can be read by electric current like a chip.

When the current passes through the nanopore and encounters the bases on the genetic sample, the parameters of the current will change slightly.

The electrodes and logic circuits of the sequencer monitor the changes in current in real time. They convert the changes in electrical signals into base information and then obtain the genetic code of the fungal phage virus.

[Mushroom Farm] After the system is upgraded, genetic recombination technology can be used to transform non-fungal genes into fungal ones.

There is a prerequisite here, which is to accurately obtain the non-fungal genetic code.

Non-fungal genes cannot simulate fungal genes, and their genetic code collection can only be carried out in the physical universe.

With a crisp "beep" sound, the single-molecule sequencer stopped running and the working indicator light went out, and the task of obtaining the viral gene code was completed.

Li Nuo retrieved the viral gene code, took out the yeast cassette and inserted it into the socket of the sequencer.

This socket has been modified to read genetic fragments from yeast and also to write information to yeast.

After a short wait, fifteen copies of the viral gene code were written onto fifteen yeast cassettes.

Li Nuo piled up the cassettes on the table and placed his right hand on them.

A system message pops up.

【You are attempting to store a yeast cassette containing viral genetic code.】

[Please note that viral gene codes can only be used as experimental subjects in gene recombination simulations. In other types of simulations, they cannot be experimental subjects, but only consumables.]

[Is it confirmed that the yeast cassette carrying the viral gene encoding will be stored in the fungal warehouse? 】

Storing the genetic code of the virus in the fungal warehouse does not violate the system rules, but why does the system allow this?

The reason is simple: the system regards the viral genetic code as "pollutant".

Wild fungi may be contaminated with pathogens, which may be caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi.

The viral genetic code is the part of the virus.

If viruses that contaminate wild fungi can follow the fungi into fungal warehouses, then naturally the viral genetic codes can also do so.

Li Nuo figured out this little detail over the past few days.

He clicked "Confirm" with his mind, and the fifteen yeast cassettes on the desk disappeared, and the first step of the Bone Drinker extermination plan was achieved.

Next, Li Nuo wants to obtain samples of Bone Drinkers to see which fungal phage virus can kill Bone Drinkers.

His idea is this:

In the subsequent battle with the Bone Drinkers, the orcs and primitives will inevitably come into contact with parasitic spores.

You can plant the "vaccine" in the orcs and primitive people in advance.

The "vaccine" consists of a fungal phage virus.

When the parasitic spores of the Bone Drinker appear in the body, the "vaccine" will release fifteen types of fungal phage viruses. As long as one of the viruses can kill the parasitic spores of the Bone Drinker, the job will be done.

Li Nuo launched a fungal simulation to quickly produce a "vaccine".

An hour later, he had a creation called "Fungiophage Virus Wart".

After deep improvements to this thing, "viral warts" will no longer be recognized as antigens by the immune mechanisms of orcs and primitive people.

In this way, people who are vaccinated against "viral warts" will not have a serious immune response, and the viruses in the "warts" will not be destroyed by the immune system.

After a single vaccination, the "warts" can remain for about 30 days.

After 30 days, the virus in the "warts" will disintegrate on its own due to lack of nutrients.

In general, there are almost no side effects, so you can safely vaccinate space beast clans and primitive people.

"According to the time, it's almost time for me to go online and fight. Starting today, I will gradually vaccinate the orcs and trustworthy primitives."

Li Nuo cleaned up the laboratory as quickly as possible.

After returning to his residence and enjoying dinner, Li Nuo took the time to wash up and went into the bedroom. After finding a comfortable position on the bed, he opened the system interface and checked the archived briefing.

Everything is normal in the Steel Warrior Tribe. The shaman boy Sack insists on making magical spores every day, and spends the rest of his time helping Ailon manage the tribe.

Their first spaceship has taken shape, and is about the same size as the human empire's cruiser, capable of accommodating the entire tribe of orcs.

The process of building the spacecraft was so grand and lavish that it could not escape the eyes of the orc warlords.

Many warlord spies appeared around the territory, probably aiming to recruit the Steel Brave Tribe.

On the other side, the new ship of the Orc Pirate Fleet is about to be launched.

The appearance of this ship is not as good-looking as that of the Steel Warrior Tribe, but it embodies the unique wisdom of the Orc Pirate Fleet.

This wisdom is called "expandability", which means, in the jargon of the Orc Pirates, that the new ship will grow on its own.

After a successful robbery, Big Black Fang will instruct the technicians to expand the new ship and use the stolen metal materials to build more cabins, corridors and armor plates.

After repeated robberies and repeated expansion of new ships, finally, an orc pirate ship comparable in size to the other two ships appeared.

The Steel Warrior Tribe has not yet realized the necessity of leaving space for the ships to expand.

But that's okay.

After experiencing several space battles, Li Nuo believed that the Steel Warrior Tribe would think of this.

Attention is focused on the Space Beast Clan.

Space and Beast had worked exceptionally hard in the past five days, and the clan's overall size and armaments had met Li Nuo's expectations.

A total of three thousand orcs were ready to go, each armed with a machete and weapons, and plenty of ammunition.

In addition to the orcs, Li Nuo provided the necessary equipment to every primitive person who was determined to take revenge and assigned them special missions.

The beasts were not idle either.

He took the time to carefully select ten of the tallest orcs for the boss to serve as his personal guards.

In order to praise the beast, Li Nuo prepared a gift for each of the beast and his personal guards.

This gift needs to be made by Li Nuo himself after he goes "online", and I guarantee that the beast will like it.

"It's time to show me how powerful the fleet of the Onyet Group is."

Li Nuo took out a magical spore, put it into his mouth, and read the save file.

His consciousness left the body and quickly traveled through the sea of stars. Li Nuo once again saw the planet that was looted by the Cold Trade Group.

This time, there were changes in the fleet in the planet's orbit.

The number of ships on the scene increased from eight to nine, and the extra one was a cargo ship.

Shuttles traveled between the cargo ship and the surface, apparently ferrying primitives aboard.

Before his consciousness fell into the ground, Li Nuo carefully looked at the situation above the treasure house.

Two frigates were hovering in the planet's orbit just above the treasure house, and the shuttle was transporting the Onie people to the surface.

There were flashes of fire and smoke near the entrance to the treasure house, and the Space Beast Clan was resisting the Oune people who were invading the cave.

Li Nuo nodded secretly, having expected this.

Not only Xiaoxi knew the location of the treasure house, but the chiefs of other primitive settlements also knew the location of the treasure house.

After the Onye people captured these people, although they did not understand the language of the primitive people, it did not prevent them from using more cruel methods to pry all the secrets out of the primitive people's mouths.

It was only natural that the treasure house would be discovered by the fleet of the Onye Group, and Li Nuo hoped that this would happen.

Otherwise, the space beast clans would have to go to the primitive settlements to get the shuttles.

Now that the enemy has delivered the shuttle to our doorstep, why not take advantage of it?

Li Nuo's consciousness entered the body in space.

He was currently in a cave outside the treasury, five floors underground.

This place was transformed into a camp for the space beast clan, where production and animal husbandry were carried out, and the primitive survivors were concentrated in a corner.

The beast stood on a high platform made of stone bricks, holding a tweeter made by the technician boy, and commanded the orcs to go to the ground to fight with his hands and feet:
"Boys! Polish your weapons, hang the scissors on your waists and keep them safe. Don't let them fall! Whoever dares to embarrass the boss, I will be the first to skin him! And the boss's good boys, put on your backpacks quickly, we will set off as soon as the boss comes!"

Bang Xiaozi refers to the personal guards of the clan leader.

Li Nuo is going to lead ten people to do something big today, which requires unique weapons. These weapons are already in the backpacks of the personal guards.

"Oh, beast!" Li Nuo called out.

The beast shuddered, turned around suddenly, and joy flashed in his eyes:

"Boss! You're here! We're all ready! We can beat those purple-skinned people to a pulp at any time!"

Purple-skinned people is the nickname given to the Onie people by the beasts, inspired by the purple skin of the Onie people.

The beast came running over, showing its flattering and ugly cuteness with its burly body.

Li Nuo picked up the double-linked heavy logging rifle and put it on his shoulder. He glanced at the orc guards who came with the beasts and nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good. Killing the enemy will be rewarded, and deserters will be killed without mercy. The same applies to you. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The guards shouted in unison, their blood boiling and their faces filled with desire for battle.

"Come with me, I will build a green dam for each of you, and make sure you are as hard as rock on the battlefield!"

Green Dam is slang for a waste shield generator, the color of the shield is green, hence the name.

This item has excellent defensive capabilities, but its disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of waste.

Most of the orcs' technological creations are made from waste materials.

Large-scale promotion of waste shield generators will easily lead to waste shortages, so Li Nuo only plans to provide this device for his personal guards for the time being.

He stuffed the logging gun in his hand to the beast and started mechanical sorcery under the stunned gaze of the orcs.

Gears, rods, oil, sheet metal, all kinds of scraps seem to come alive.

They flew up and down in Li Nuo's hands, and were tightly connected together through precise welding.

When the universal psychic material entered the shield's miniature cold nuclear fusion engine room, the bright light of nuclear fusion illuminated the orcs' faces, which were completely frozen and dull.

An orc boy actually has such great skills.

WAAAAAGH!!
It's so WAAAAGH!!!
He is worthy of being the boss, worthy of being the tough guy above our heads. He is definitely the coolest and most impressive one among all the clan bosses!

"Okay, guys, put Green Dam on your belt. If it's hungry, feed it some delicious waste. If it doesn't obey, pat it and touch it. The oil guys like to massage their robot girls, so we should treat Green Dam well, because it's a big treasure that can save our lives."

Li Nuo distributed the Green Dam and demonstrated its use to the Beast and the five guards. He then took out the felling spear, raised it above his head and roared:

"Don't just stand there! Pick up your weapons, bring your swords, and follow me! Let's go and knock down all those purple-skinned people outside! Use our strength to show them that we, the space beasts, are the bosses here! Waaaaaaagh!!!"

"Waaaaagh!!!" the orcs roared like thunder.

Li Nuo took the lead and rushed towards the entrance of the treasury. The orcs consciously separated the roads to allow their boss and his guards to pass, and then followed closely.

Outside the gate of the treasury, tens of thousands of primitive people took refuge there. Relying on the prestige brought by the space beasts, Xiaoxi temporarily became the manager of this group of primitive people.

The space beasts swarmed out of the treasure house with tremendous momentum, and rushed towards the cave leading upwards like wild horses.

Most of the primitive people were frightened and retreated quickly, but a few of them were excited, with a strong desire for revenge in their eyes.

They wore crude armor and carried orc-style firearms, and although they knew they would die, they resolutely followed the space beast clan and rushed to the surface.

The creek is also among them.

As those who had the courage to take revenge on their enemies left, only a group of cowards who were unwilling to even pick up weapons were left inside and outside the treasury.

Of course, there are also many people with ulterior motives.

They hid in the crowd and looked at the treasure trove with greedy eyes, but were horrified to see dozens of gun barrels sticking out of it.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang——"

The primitive people who were able to escape here are all strong and healthy, and there are no elderly, weak, women or children.

The Space Beast Clan respects every brave man and will never treat unfairly any warrior who fights bravely, even those who are unfortunate.

But cowards and villains do not deserve shelter.

Eliminate uncertainties that may bring risks, let the fruits of victory be controlled by brave people, and don't let the fruits fall into the pockets of cowards and villains.

This is the decision Li Nuo and Xiaoxi made together in the past five days.

"Kill these shrimps, but don't eat their bodies. The boss said that if we eat these shrimps, we will become as cowardly as them. Do you understand?"

"hold head high!"

The orc squad guarding the treasury shot the cowards and villains who were not dead yet to ensure that they would not tarnish the glory of the brave.

The team leader waved his hand and asked the boys to put the bodies into the incinerator and burn them all.

We are the green skins of the new era. We are educated, cultured, disciplined, do not believe in ghosts and gods, will never eat shrimp, and will definitely listen to the boss!

quack!
