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

Chapter 166: The Governor's Life of Hard Work and Money
【This Waaaagh simulation ends. 】

【Settlement in progress.】

[The plasma explosion you created annihilated approximately 212 million rebels, and your score increased by 424 million.]

[The plasma explosion you created destroyed 375 rebel vehicles, and your score is +27. ]

【You have obtained a total of 451 points. 】

[Remaining simulation points: 625 million. ]

[Special Forces Boy-Bond 2 has been killed.]

[Save 7 is invalid.]

451 million points credited!
The simulation points in stock have reached 625 million points, which is only less than 400 million points away from the witchcraft blueprints required to exchange for the web access device!
Li Nuo was shaking with excitement, and it took him more than half a minute to calm down.

Such a huge amount of points income actually comes at a huge cost.

The reactor in the Mechanical Monastery is not a geothermal reactor, and it will not destroy the world if it explodes.

But even so, we cannot deny the fact that it is a Titan-class reactor.

This level of reactor can power Admiral-class Titans and planets. It is extremely expensive and consumes about 0.3% of Mars' production capacity.

The cost of rebuilding a reactor of the same level will be borne by Epimet, which is estimated to be 1 million throne coins. If it is expedited, the cost will double.

In addition, the radiation pollution caused by the plasma explosion will also require a lot of money to clean up, and it is estimated to cost 2000 million throne coins.

The living areas, mining areas, train tracks, and loading and unloading platforms destroyed by the plasma explosion also need to be rebuilt at Epimet's own expense.

Li Nuo calculated in the office that his explosion had created a huge bill of 3 million yuan for Epimate.

3 million in exchange for 451 million simulation points, 1 point is equal to 66 throne coins. This krypton gold ratio is too scary.

Li Nuo suddenly felt some pain in his flesh.

"I can't afford it. I really can't afford it. I'd better take it easy in the future."

The system text in the field of vision refreshed again, showing another piece of information.

[The score of this Waaagh simulation exceeded 100 million points.]

【You have unlocked a new reward item. 】

[Reward 6: Simulate a companion.]

Before starting a Waaagh simulation, redeem this reward option to allow a non-orc intelligent creature to become your simulation companion. You will play the Waaagh simulation with your simulation companion.

[The simulated object of the companion's possession must be saved for your simulated character. 】

[Exchange Price: A certain number of Sim Points. The amount of points consumed is determined by the comprehensive data of your Sim companions.]

The next bonus option will be unlocked when you reach 1000 million points in a single Waaagh simulation.

Simulated companions?

Li Nuo read the description of the sixth reward again and again to make sure he was not mistaken.

I can now conduct Waaagh simulations with others.

The orc that simulates a companion's possession must be in the character's archive and cannot be selected randomly.

Li Nuo crossed his arms and thought for a few seconds, feeling that he would not need this reward option in the short term.

Tido, Mona, Laya, Wick, Fugas and others are worthy of your trust.

But they have little resistance to Chaos corruption.

Taking them on a Waaagh simulation yourself involves taking a huge risk.

If someone were to suffer from Chaos Corruption, wouldn’t their cheats be exposed?

How can this be done?

Li Nuo pondered for a moment and decided to put the reward option he had just unlocked into the cold palace without giving it too much thought.

After lunch, daily work continues as normal.

Two students from Jersey arrived at the hive earlier today to start building the servitor workshop, and Tido was responsible for contacting them.

Li Nuo and Tido had a careful discussion about the human origins of the servitors.

Normally, death row inmates and criminals serving life sentences are the lowest-cost candidates, and they can simply be brought over for reform.

However, as a cloud hammer, Li Nuo has seen the game anchor play the game "Rogue Trader".

He knew that the servitors could get out of control.

Especially after coming into contact with unnatural forces, the soul of the robot may break through physical limitations and affect the body.

Simply put, the personality of a servitor is determined by the kind of person they were before becoming a servitor.

Death row inmates and life imprisonment criminals who are transformed into robot servants will show criminal tendencies when they lose control.

The mechanical priests within the Mechanicus who often perform transformation surgeries on people know this.

In order not to damage the reputation of the Mechanicus, those who knew the inside story kept their mouths shut.

As one of the insiders, Li Nuo has no intention of exposing the Mechanicus, but only wants to select a more stable human body for the combat servitor.

After some discussion, Li Nuo and Tido made a decision.

Workers who go down to the nest are prone to injuries from heavy physical work, and it is easy for them to suffer lifelong disabilities and lose their ability to work.

Li Nuo asked Xiachao's medical department to recruit volunteers. Anyone who is willing to become a combat servant and his family can enjoy the academy's educational services free of charge.

In order to prevent the intentional serious injury of others to obtain free education opportunities for oneself, and to prevent the occurrence of bad social phenomena such as the loss of the whole family,
Li Nuo specially allocated a sum of funds to set up a review committee to ensure that everyone who undergoes transformation does so voluntarily and there is no situation of being forced, induced or exploited.

This expense could have been avoided.

But before Li Nuo traveled through time, he was just an ordinary citizen, and he believed that he did things based on his conscience.

Why not spend money to buy peace of mind?

It is expected that the workshop for manufacturing and maintaining combat servitors will be completed within a month.

The Hive City security database was updated simultaneously, with new data constantly being entered into the database, covering many variants of the Bone Drinker's metabolic products.

There is an array of thinkers in Jersey's forge city. This array system covers a vast area, at least thousands of square meters, which is incomparable to the array in the hive city.

After she input the Bone Drinker's metabolic pattern into the Cogitator's array, the array automatically deduced all variants of the Bone Drinker's metabolites.

Every day, the molecular formulas of more than a dozen new metabolites are entered into the database, including the hydrocarbon-containing metabolites previously discovered by Li Nuo.

In order to ensure that his father-in-law would not be infected by the Bone Drinkers, Li Nuo would transcribe the daily updated data and have Shatana send it to Fugais through astropathic communication.

After receiving the information, Fu Gais shared the data with the 131st Regiment.

Epimate and the 131st Regiment simultaneously updated their security data, and the actual combat results were better than expected.

Every day, new Bone Drinkers are picked out among the surrendered rebels and refugees by auspexes, scanners, and Auger arrays.

These Bone Drinkers were either executed on the spot or used as experimental specimens by the fleet's mechanical priests and placed on the operating table for dissection.

Unconsciously, the Imperial Army gained a deeper understanding of the Bone Drinkers, and many details that Lino had not noticed before were discovered by the Mechanical Priests.

The Mechanical Priest found "synapses" in the Bones Drinker that could transmit nerve signals.

By connecting the Synapse to the Mechanicus's neuromodulatory devices, the Mechanicus could reverse engineer the Bone Drinkers' mental networks.

This technology was discovered when the Eighth Legion and the Space Wolves were fighting the Bone Drinkers.

The Mechanical Priest extracted a vast amount of information from the mental network, but was also contaminated by the power of chaos.

Chaos garbage codes flowed out from the mental network, throwing several meditators into chaos.

The way the Mechanic Priest deals with Chaos Code is simple, and can be summed up in one word:

Electricity.

Electric shock.

In the game "Rogue Trader", there is a mechanical priest who is infected with Chaos Code, and the protagonists use "electric shock therapy" to treat him.

The professional term of the Mechanicus is:
Cleanse the filth with the sacred spark of Ohm Messiah and fill every pipeline with source power.

After powerful electroshock therapy, two of the Meditators were rescued, but one was scrapped.

In exchange, the Mechanical Priest obtained valuable intelligence. By screening, analyzing and classifying this intelligence, the Imperial Army mastered the distribution range, infection path, plan and action target of the Bone Drinkers, and began to carry out large-scale sweeps in a targeted manner.

Just as Li Nuo expected, the five star regions where the plague had occurred were also the areas where the Bone Drinkers were rampant.

These five star regions became the focus of the Imperial Army's "care", and cleanup operations against the Bone Drinkers were being carried out at all times.

What concerned Li Nuo more was that the Bone Drinkers' way of infecting humans had changed.

Previously, the Bone Drinkers mainly infected important figures in the star sector, such as the Star Governor and the Star Governor's confidants.

Now, they have turned to infect mid-level personnel, such as the fleet commander's deputies, the ship's fire control team leaders, operators in the main departments of the hive, factory owners, senior managers, etc.

These people do not have the same influence as the star governors, but they are as inconspicuous as sand in the desert and are not easy to be picked out.

As the 131st Regiment's security database was updated synchronously with Epimet's database, the Bone Drinkers' plan to infiltrate some of the middle levels of the Imperial worlds was shattered.

The 131st Regiment sent its findings to the Imperial Military Affairs Department, which then reported them to the Wartime Council. Malcador, as the chief of the Council, reviewed and approved the report.

After a series of processes, Epimet's security database was requisitioned by the Imperial Military Affairs Department and became military data shared with various imperial worlds.

The Ministry of Military Affairs requisitions data for a fee.

They sent a representative to Epimet and gave Li Nuo a letter of commendation and a bounty of 300 million throne coins.

Li Nuo felt mixed emotions after reading this letter of commendation.

The good news is that this can be considered a credit and can earn me extra points in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The worry is that this is a public letter of commendation and will be spread through the Star Language network.

The fact that he was collaborating with Jersey to upgrade the database and develop vaccines would be known to many people at the governor level, and there might be Bone Drinkers' spies among them.

Unconsciously, his hatred value among the Bone Drinkers group rose a little bit.

The big demon is easy to deal with, but the chosen one of God is hard to defend against. Li Nuo doesn't want to be targeted by the Bone Drinker because of this.

However, there is no point in saying anything now. Just let nature take its course and take precautions.

When Li Nuo met with the representative of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he mentioned the issue of vaccines.

"Conn, Master Jersey and I have discussed the hypothesis of the fungal phage virus."

In the deputy governor's office, opposite Li Nuo sat Political Commissar Kang En from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Conn has a tough, angular face, short light gray hair and a beard of the same color.

He is from the Imperial Fists' mortal auxiliary forces, stationed on Terra for a long time.

It was this person who sent Li Nuo the letter of commendation and the throne coin reward.

Li Nuo asked the servo skull to open the holographic screen, showing the content of his and Jersey's discussion on the fungal phage virus, while introducing:

"Master Jersey has approved the idea of using fungal phages to make vaccines. However, there are two difficulties that we need to overcome as soon as possible. One is that fungal phages are not stable enough and may infect humans, causing accidental injuries, with a mortality rate of about 15%. Another difficulty is that the vaccination process is easily detected by the Bone Drinkers, leading to their counterattack."

Kang En sat upright in his chair, quickly reading the text on the holographic screen, with a hint of approval in his stern expression:
"Your idea is very good. After I return, I will submit your research report to the Military Affairs Department. The Terra Medical Department will demonstrate the feasibility of the vaccine. If the results of the demonstration prove that the cost of the vaccine is acceptable, I think the Wartime Council should not reject your proposal."

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

It would probably take Jersey years alone to come up with a finished vaccine.

With the help of the Imperial Medical Department in demonstration and research, the progress of the vaccine will be accelerated again and again, and perhaps a finished product with a human mortality rate of less than 10% can be produced in a month or two.

The two chatted about the details of the vaccine, and the topic gradually turned to synthetic starch.

This time, Conn came not only to hand over the bonus and letter of commendation.

The Imperial Fist has calculated that Li Nuo will have approximately 1500 million tons of synthetic starch production capacity at his disposal every month.

The Fists of the Empire specifically asked Kang En to come here to fight for the ownership of these synthetic starches.

"Wilsey, we want to subscribe to at least 800 million tons of synthetic starch at market prices, and the same will be true every month thereafter."

Kang En took out the letter from the secretary of the Imperial Fist, put it on the table and pushed it to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo opened the envelope and read it. He nodded in agreement, then showed a bit of embarrassment.

"Conn, do you know about the plasma explosion on Granit 5?"

"That's true." Conn replied thoughtfully:

"The 131st Regiment of the Solar Army reported that this disaster seems to be caused by the rebels' misoperation. They piled up a large amount of explosives and high-octane promethium in the promethium warehouse 100 meters underground, intending to perish together with the Imperial Army. Unexpectedly, it caused the octane gas to leak, causing the plasma reactor to explode."

Kang En's eyes flickered slightly, and the political commissar's wisdom enabled him to understand in time why Li Nuo mentioned this matter.

Conn smiled.

"We are sorry about the explosion. Wilsey, if there is anything we can do to help, just let us know."

"Really? That's great. I was just worried about the new plasma reactor." Li Nuo pretended to be surprised and clapped his hands and said:

"To be honest, I'm in urgent need of a plasma reactor. With it, Granite 5 can be rebuilt. It is estimated that in three months at most, a complete production system will be built there, and the miners' living and working environment will be greatly improved. Three months later, Epimet's monthly starch production capacity will increase by at least 3000 million tons. I am willing to allocate up to 1000 million tons of it to consolidate our friendship."

Conn stood up and stretched out his right hand:

"It's my pleasure. I will report your request. Mars is going to deliver several plasma reactors to us soon. I believe that the predicament of Granit 5 will not last long."

"Thank you for your help, thank you Terra, and thank you Fist of the Empire." Li Nuo stretched out his hand and shook Conn's hand tightly. After the two men let go, they spontaneously performed the Sky Eagle Salute. The atmosphere in the office was solemn and harmonious.

After seeing off the political commissar from Terra, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief in his office. He had finally filled the hole he had created by blowing up the plasma reactor.

God knows how much energy he has spent in the past half month trying to get a plasma reactor as soon as possible.

After asking Ms. Shatana for advice, Li Nuo learned that the relationship between the Imperial Fists and Mars was very close.

As the Space Marine Legion defending Terra, the needs of the Imperial Fists are always met first.

The weapons, equipment, reactors, ships, etc. produced on Mars are first selected by the Fists of the Empire. Only after the Fists of the Empire have finished selecting, will it be the turn of other forces.

It made sense to ask the Imperial Fists to help him cut in line and get a plasma reactor in advance, but he just needed a suitable excuse.

With the visit of Political Commissar Conn, Li Nuo successfully solved the problem of the source of the reactor. Now he just had to wait for old man Rog Dorn to nod.

Would Rogal Dorn agree to help cut in line?

Most likely.

It’s not that Li Nuo is prestigious, but the synthetic starch is just too fragrant.

As Terra's royal guard, the Imperial Fists must not allow even the slightest riot to occur on Terra.

Hunger is the greatest source of riots.

The 1800 million tons of synthetic starch that Lino provides to the Imperial Fists every month is enough to reduce the probability of riots on Terra to close to zero.

Compared with such a great achievement, a plasma reactor is nothing. There is no reason for Rog Dorn to refuse to help cut in line.

"The security database is being steadily updated, and the plasma reactor has been secured. All that's left is for the vaccine to pass the Imperial Medical Department's review. Once the vaccine is rolled out, even the Bone Drinkers won't be able to recover."

Li Nuo stood up with a smile, straightened his clothes, and went to his residence to enjoy dinner.

He is looking forward to tonight's Waaagh simulation.

On the one hand, he made a pair of weird goggles last night, and he plans to put them online today to try out their effects.

Meanwhile, an extremely rare Squig appears on the planet Palu.

This Squig can eat radioactive waste, expelling oxygen, hydrogen, and radioactive substances.

Li Nuo specifically asked Zarg to help him keep an eye on Squig, waiting to do research on it after it goes "online" today.

At 9 p.m., the Waaagh simulation started.

The consciousness travels through the sea of stars and arrives at the planet where the green-skinned Palu is.

Three circular buildings, each over a hundred meters high, stand on the vast plain, with thick white steam floating from the top of the buildings.

These are completed shafts that deliver heat and electricity to the camp every minute of every day.

His consciousness quickly fell, landing on the farmland at the foot of a mountain, and pierced into the body of the shaman boy - Sack.

When I opened my eyes, a large field of green ghost mushrooms appeared in front of me. Fart spirits in steel open-crotch pants were moving around in it, watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil, and harvesting, all in full swing.

The planet Palu is booming, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere.

Every time he sees such a scene, Li Nuo feels deeply satisfied.
