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

Chapter 168 The first day of becoming the mastermind

Today is destined to be an extraordinary day.

There are currently five species in the fungus warehouse, they are:

Archaean venom fungi, which separate toxic and non-toxic substances to produce highly toxic compounds and edible starch;
Archaic fuel fungi feed on promethium ore, producing orc fuel with a calorific value of 80 MJ/kg and promethium refining residue;

Archaean hydrogen-oxygen fungi decompose water to produce hydrogen and oxygen, with lower efficiency and unit output than water electrolysis;

Archaean antioxidant fungi produce antioxidant enzymes in an oxygen-rich environment;

The ancient crystalline fungus has a 60% degree of atavism and has two metabolic modes. It can directly absorb subspace energy to produce single crystals, and it can also convert spirit bones into single crystals.

According to the formula "alkylating agent + antioxidant enzyme = archaic fungi atavism mutagen", Li Nuo conducted mutation experiments on another four types of archaic fungi in turn.

It is reasonable that the ancient antioxidant fungus did not revert to its ancestral state, otherwise the antioxidant enzymes it produced would have caused it to revert to its ancestral state long ago.

It is understandable that the Archaean hydrogen-oxygen fungi did not revert to their ancestral form. This fungus and the Archaean antioxidant fungi are in the same Squiggle. If it could revert to its ancestral form under the induction of antioxidant enzymes, it would have done so long ago.

Ancient fuel fungi show signs of atavism!

The degree of atavism reaches 60%!

The calorific value of the orc fuel it produces reaches 160 megajoules per kilogram, which doubles the year-on-year calorific value, which can be said to be a qualitative change.

The ancient venom fungus also underwent qualitative changes, with its degree of atavism also reaching 60%.

After reversion, the carbon elements in the toxic substances were further separated, and the proportion of edible starch in the products increased.

Li Nuo did a quick calculation and found that the efficiency of preparing synthetic starch using 60% of the ancient venom fungi that had reverted to their original form was exactly doubled compared to before.

What is this concept?
Simply put, the production capacity of the synthetic starch industry has doubled.

By the end of this year, the original planned production capacity target was 9000 million tons of synthetic starch per month.

Now, this figure has increased by 100% to 1.8 million tons.

Li Nuo was completely stunned. He checked the calculation carefully several times before making sure that he had not made a mistake.

How is the extra synthetic starch produced?
Is the system creating things in the void?
No, not a void creation.

In the original production process, 10 kg of residue was converted into 2 kg of synthetic starch, 1 kg of highly toxic concentrate, and 7 kg of by-products.

The main by-products are carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and water.

When the residue was treated with 60% Archaean Venom Fungus, the extra synthetic starch came from the by-products.

7 kg of by-products become 5 kg, and the remaining 2 kg become synthetic starch.

In the end, the same 10 kg of residue produced 4 kg of synthetic starch, 1 kg of highly toxic concentrate, and 5 kg of by-products.

This is why the yield of synthetic starch is directly doubled.

"Fuck... I'm rich... I'm really rich now..."

Li Nuo was so excited in the shack that he couldn't help shaking with his back to the door.

Zarge at the door looked confused. Although he didn't understand what the witch priest was doing, he felt that it seemed very powerful.

Crunching sound, the metal soles of shoes stepped on the grass, bending the green grass stalks, and a figure ran over from the tarmac in the distance.

The person who comes is a beast.

He is now nearly two meters and five centimeters tall, with a body thickness of one meter. His bucket-like waist and sturdy arms contain amazing explosive power. His shiny metal armor makes Zarge stare with envy.

"Witch priest?" The beast stopped in front of the door and looked into the house curiously. He saw a figure with his back to the door and shaking his body. "Where is he?"

"I don't know either." Zarge scratched his head. "I only heard words like 'get rich', 'I'm not dreaming', 'this is so cool', etc. Maybe the witch priest has some amazing new ideas."

"Cough cough."

Li Nuo heard the movement at the door, put the fungi in his hand into the fungus warehouse, wiped the corner of his mouth and turned around:
"What's up, Beast? Anything urgent?"

The beast exchanged glances with the witch priest, and after confirming that the one occupying the witch priest's body was his own boss, he immediately grinned and said:
"Boss, I have good news. Pengpa has discovered the territory of the Randan Alliance."

"Oh, really?" Li Nuo's face straightened, he picked up his staff and walked towards the door, "Let's go over and take a look. How far is the Randan Alliance from here?"

"About 5,000 light years."

More than five thousand light years is neither far nor near.

Within the illumination range of the Star Torch, a journey of 5,000 light years can be completed in as little as two months.

However, there are no Star Torches outside the Milky Way, and the light of the Star Torches cannot be seen. How long it will take for the Randan Alliance to reach the Milky Way depends on whether their superluminal navigation technology is reliable.

If interstellar travel technology had not been innovated over the years, the Randan Alliance's means of superluminal travel should still be "subspace jump plus triangulation."

This interstellar navigation technology is applicable to the starry sky without the guidance of a astronomical torch.

In simple terms, it is like this:

After each subspace voyage of no more than 100 light years, the ship enters the real universe and calculates the coordinate information of the three points: "initial point", "end point" and "destination" to confirm whether it has deviated from the course.

This is the method of navigation used by Rogue Traders in the Expansion when their Astronomican is missing.

Theoretically, the Randan Alliance can return to the Milky Way by performing 50 consecutive short jumps and triangulation.

But that's in theory.

In practice, there is a high probability that the Randan Alliance's fleet will be lost in the subspace.

The place where they appear may be seriously deviated from the course, and the time of their appearance may be one year after, one year before, or even more than ten years later or more than ten years ago when they set out.

After all, the flow of time in the subspace is not linear, and it is not impossible to travel back to the past or to a more distant future through subspace navigation.

It is said that an orc warlord once traveled back in time and met himself a few minutes ago.

The two "warlord bosses" each held their favorite weapons in their hands.

So, the two of them fought a desperate battle to possess their two favorite weapons at the same time.

This simple little example is enough to illustrate how wonderful the subspace is.

Li Nuo flew to the Ingot on a Kada carrier and stepped onto the bridge.

Pumba was soaking in the amniotic fluid jar, and he laughed when he saw the witch ceremony:

"Master Wuji, I am sure that is the territory of the worm people. Look, this is the dot map I drew."

Worm people are a general term for the Randan people, named because the main members of the Randan Alliance are worm life forms.

The physiological structure of this life form is very peculiar.

Thousands of worms gathered together can form a humanoid creature.

When they are scattered, they crawl around like cockroaches. They are very smart and know how to hide themselves and avoid being hunted by enemies.

They transfer information by exchanging body fluids.

Body fluids contain pheromones, neurotransmitters, hormones, irritants and other substances.

This method of information transmission is a bit slow, but it is high-fidelity, easy to store, and extremely confidential.

When the three Space Marine Legions were fighting against the Randan Alliance, they spent a lot of time deciphering the pheromones and neural signals of the worm people.

Back to topic.

Dot Figure projected a holographic screen into the air, and a planet transformed into a steel jungle appeared before its eyes, with three asteroids orbiting around it.

The asteroid has obvious signs of transformation, with heavy ground-to-air artillery and an orbiting space station orbiting the planet.

A planet surrounded by asteroids looks a bit scary at first glance.

It is connected to the asteroid through three thick space corridors. The surface of the planet is densely packed with steel buildings, like a huge computer matrix or a foundry city of the Mechanicus.

Apparently, after leaving the Milky Way, the Randan Alliance discovered planets with rich mineral deposits.

This situation is equivalent to winning the lottery, and the first prize.

Why do you say that?
Because the distribution density of celestial bodies outside the Milky Way is much lower than that within the Milky Way.

In the Milky Way, there are an average of 1 stars and several non-luminous celestial bodies in a three-dimensional space of 1x1x1.3 light years.

Outside the Milky Way, the density of celestial bodies decreases sharply, to only about 20% of that within the Milky Way.

This is why both the Human Empire and the Eldar want to stay in the Milky Way.

"Pumba, feel how many living things there are on the planet."

"Okay, let me see..." Bubbles came out of Pumpa's amniotic fluid jar, and gurgling sounds came one after another.

After about half a minute, Pumba said:

"Big brother, I think there are hundreds of billions."

"Hundreds of billions? Are you sure?" Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.

"Gurgle, gurgle." The liquid in the amniotic fluid tank surged, and Peng Pa nodded, "Yes, there are indeed hundreds of billions." Li Nuo asked:
"So what is their method of interstellar travel?"

"It's Tiaotiao. I'm sure it's Tiaotiao."

Hop Hop is short for short jump and triangulation.

"However, I feel that their interstellar navigation methods have changed recently." Pumba spit out a string of bubbles and said thoughtfully:

"The worms' jumps have become more and more precise recently. I think someone is guiding them."

"Point the way..." Li Nuo fell into deep thought, pacing slowly around the dotted map.

There are two main ways of thinking when giving directions to others in the subspace.

One is to build a solid warp beacon, such as the Astronomican.

Another is to invoke aid from the daemons of the Warp, which involves brutal ritual sacrifices.

There is no light of the Star Torch where the Randan Alliance is located, so the so-called guidance should be the sacrifice flow.

Does this mean that the Randan Alliance has also made a mess of voting?
Li Nuo thought about it and did not deny this speculation.

During the Great Crusade, there were many alien civilizations that were forced into a desperate situation by the Human Empire and eventually surrendered to the great enemy of Chaos, including the Randan Alliance.

We must think of a way to divert the attention of the Randan Alliance and create more development time for the Orc Planet.

Li Nuo stopped and had an idea in mind.

"Pumpa, open the star map of the Midrak Expanse."

"hold head high."

The holographic screen of the dot map turned into an extremely wide plane map.

The expanded area plan is 3 light years long and 3000 light years wide, starting from the northern part of the Taiping star field on the left and ending at the northwest corner of the Far East star field in the east.

The place where the Human Empire and the Randan Alliance fought was located in the hazy star field south of the Midrak Expansion.

The specific location is the Morse star region in the northeast corner of the Hazy Star Region.

The sector originally had eight sub-sectors ruled by the Randan Alliance, which have been cleared and transformed into Imperial worlds.

The main Imperial armed forces in the Morse Sector are the Imperial Army, the 51st Regiment of the Dark Angels - the Obsidian Griffins, and the Broken Claw, which is strictly protected by the Obsidian Griffins.

The most important of these is the Order of the Broken Claw.

This order was established specifically for the Randan Alliance. Its main purpose is to guard the Randan ruins and prevent the Randan Alliance from restoring and counterattacking.

At this time, the Broken Claw Order has not received any news of the Randan Alliance gathering outside the Milky Way.

Li Nuo's idea is to guide the Broken Claw Order to discover the planet of the Onye people.

In this way, with the Broken Claw cultivator in the front to support us, the pressure on our side will be much less.

As for whether the Broken Claw Order will discover the Orc planet.

To be honest, Li Nuo was not very worried.

The technology tree of the Human Empire is off track. It has not conducted in-depth research on deep space remote sensing technology and has relied entirely on Rogue Merchants and expedition fleets to use their "faces" to explore the way forward.

There are only two areas where there is risk.

One is that the Onye people have the spatial coordinates of the planet Palu.

The other is in the archives of the Night Lords and Space Wolves, which contain information about the two legions coming to wipe out the Bone Drinkers hundreds of years ago, which should include the spatial coordinates of the planet Palu.

Li Nuo thought that it would be best for him to find an opportunity to sneak into the Onye galaxy and erase the coordinates of the planet Palu.

As for the information in the Space Marine Archives, let it be.

The planet Palu is too far away for the human empire.

If it weren't for the hunt for the Bone Drinkers, the Space Marine Legion wouldn't have come here.

Li Nuo asked:

"Pumpa, how far is the Purple People's Galaxy from the Morse Star Region?"

After observing for a few minutes, Pompa replied:

"Master, the straight-line distance between these two places is 5500 light years."

Li Nuo looked at the beast thoughtfully:

"Are there any wreckages of the Purple Man's hulk left?"

"Yes, there is a wreckage of a light cruiser that has not been dismantled yet. It contains a navigation computer, a subspace engine, a subspace navigation field generator, and a purple-skinned man's reactor."

"Very good, don't dismantle this ship yet. Repair it for me, as long as it can fly. Also, select a group of special forces guys who can drive a ship for me. I want to formally form a clan composed entirely of special forces guys."

"Wow, a clan full of special forces guys?" Beast took out his notebook and quickly wrote down what the boss said, and asked in amazement:

"Boss, what does this clan do?"

Li Nuo held up the witch's staff with one hand and put the other hand behind his back, and said meaningfully:

"The mission of this clan is to sneak in, infiltrate, spy, assassinate, and steal, rather than to fight head-on. There are not many of them, but each of them is an expert at hiding, sneaking in, picking locks, and stealing. When necessary, they can launch deadly sneak attacks on the enemy's leaders and strategic locations."

The beast's eyes lit up slightly:
"It sounds really awesome. What's the name of such a powerful clan?"

"Call me A... um, that's not right." Li Nuo originally wanted to name himself as the Alpha Clan, but when he thought of the prophecy that Jersey obtained through the Akashic Reader, he felt a little awkward.

After thinking about it, a brilliant idea came to my mind.

"Well, I have an idea. Since this clan is made up entirely of special forces guys who are very good at infiltration, assassination and theft, let's call it the Blood Crow Clan."

"Blood Crow Clan! All special forces guys, it's so cool just thinking about it, wakakaka."

The beast had no idea what scene he was imagining and had an intracranial orgasm.

Lino asked Zarg to move him onto his shoulder, hit the beast on the head with his staff to get it to focus, and used the Noise Box to get Aaron to come to the bridge.

After Ailon arrived, Li Nuo and several people on the scene worked out a plan.

It would be a waste of time to rebuild the wrecked ship that had not yet been dismantled. It would take at least two months to make it capable of cruising and subspace navigation.

Li Nuo decided to convert this junked ship into a barge.

The so-called barge generally refers to a ship that has no power of its own and can only be towed by other ships.

Li Nuo arranged a frigate to tow the barge for subspace navigation.

The style of the frigates and barges is based on the ship style of the Ony people.

The two ships would form a makeshift fleet.

The fleet set out from the planet Palu and first went to the Onye people's galaxy to accurately record the spatial coordinates there and enter them into the barge's navigation log.

The fleet then erased the location of the planet Palu from the navigation log and towed the barge to the Morse system.

This step is the most dangerous.

The frigate would have to throw the barge into the faces of the Broken Claw, then immediately unhook from the barge and circle back to the Ork planet through the Warp beyond the light of the Astronomican.

The alien civilization's barge stranded on the Broken Claw Order's territory will inevitably attract the local Mechanical Monastery to conduct in-depth research.

With such research, the galaxy of the Oune people came to light.

As long as the Imperial Army and the Broken Claw Order make some inquiries, the news of the return of the Randan Alliance will naturally come to the attention of the Human Empire.

Here we have to mention a special feature in the interstellar background.

During a ground war, it is extremely difficult to enter a country's interior directly from the outside.

But in an interstellar context, there is no technology to intercept subspace travel midway.

Theoretically speaking, the green guy could even sail from the planet Palu to Terra in one breath, and then jump directly to the face of the human empire to start a huge attack.

In order to ensure that the barge can be captured by the Broken Claw Order with 100% certainty, Li Nuo plans to use the Governor's authority to query the star map of the Morse star zone in the public database.

At this point, the plan to drive out the wolf and devour the tiger has been basically finalized.

Li Nuo called over the beast and arranged the transformation of the frigate and barge:

".Beast, calculate the time. How long does it take to transform a frigate and a wreck into an Onyx-style ship?"

The beast rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing, and did a quick calculation in his mind:
"I think it will take about a month. The main reason is that the style of the Onye people's ships is difficult to imitate. The technicians have to study the historical images before they can build them. If we stop working on one shaft and move the guys to build the ship, it will probably take half a month."

Stop the vertical shaft and build a ship... Li Nuo paced a few steps and shook his head slightly:

"The vertical shaft cannot be stopped. This is our foundation on this planet. Let's just take two months for the construction. If you are short of manpower, you can ask this body of mine for the 'Growth Spirit' and get more guys and fart spirits to work."

"Yes, leave it to me." The Beast wrote down Li Nuo's words in his little notebook.
