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

Chapter 182: Blood Ravens "War Group" Founded

The dinner ended with a long sigh of satisfaction.

Brandi put away the dishes and washed them in the kitchen.

Li Nuo and Tiduo slumped on the sofa, their bellies bulging outwards.

To be honest, Tido's craftsmanship is quite good.

The steak was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with lots of gravy. The milk mushroom soup was rich in aroma without being greasy. The presentation of the dessert was like a work of art.

Once upon a time, when I was still a poor student, I could not enjoy such treatment.

It’s good to travel through time, but you have to travel through time more often. If you don’t, you will have to deal with research work all your life.

Li Nuo felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and chatted with Tido about the planning of the nest city.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Li Nuo sent Tido away, immediately washed up and went into the bedroom to start today's Waaagh simulation.

[You consume 1 magical spore and read the archive of the witch boy - Sack.]

【Reading completed.】

The consciousness traveled to the planet Palu and entered Sack's body.

Pushing open the wooden door of the shack and going outside, the mushroom field has changed dramatically.

The original fields were spread out on the ground, covering an area of more than 5 hectares.

After more than half a month of renovation, the mushroom field has become three-dimensional, with the main frame being a metal platform that can be retracted into the ground.

The platform has more than fifty floors, each with a height of three meters and an area of more than one thousand square meters.

After the platforms rise to the ground, they are distributed in a stepped manner, allowing the ghost mushrooms on each layer to fully enjoy the light.

If an enemy attacks, the platform will change from a stepped shape to a box, shrinking into an artificial ecosystem 5 kilometers underground, where it will be bathed in artificial sunlight.

It’s really strange. As a fungus, why do ghost mushrooms need sunlight to grow quickly?

Li Nuo was quite concerned about this phenomenon and took time to do a lot of experiments.

The experimental results show that when there is no light, the growth rate of ghost mushrooms is only one-third of the normal rate.

The main reason is that the ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill bacteria.

When ghost mushrooms are contaminated by foreign bacteria, they will secrete a metabolite to kill the bacteria.

When there is no bacterial contamination, it will stop secreting bactericidal metabolites and instead use nutrients for growth and development.

Therefore, although ghost mushrooms are fungi, they grow better in places with plenty of light.

Based on this, the underground farm that Li Nuo set up for ghost mushrooms has lighting parameters similar to natural sunlight.

Look far ahead and overlook the plains below from the top of the mountain.

Many canals and pools appeared around Gao Ge's big black pipe. That was the water circulation system designed by Li Nuo with reference to the liquid pipeline network of the nest city.

Part of the water vapor coming out of the vertical shaft will be collected by the liquid pipes in the vertical shaft and become reserve water in the pool.

The water moves along the canal, passing through the orcs' drinking pool, the technician boy's workshop, the fart spirit's drinking pool, the Squig's drinking trough, the sewage pool, the purification workshop, and the distillation pipe of the shaft, and finally floats out of the shaft in the form of water vapor, completing a round of water circulation.

The entire process not only takes care of the water needs of Orcs, Farts, and Squiggs, but also collects the excrement of these three species for use as fertilizer or purification.

This water circulation system is currently in the trial operation stage. After it is confirmed to be feasible in practice, Li Nuo will move it to the underground artificial ecosystem.

Similarly, Li Nuo also developed corresponding recycling systems with reference to Epimate for irrigation water and fertilizers for farmland, fodder for pastures, raw material production and waste recycling in workshops, etc.

I have to give a thumbs up to Epimate here.

This nest is a perfect reference object.

Its air, water and food are self-circulating, and only medicines, chemicals, engineering equipment, consumables, etc. need to be purchased from outside.

The green-skinned uncle has been eating well since he was a child and has a very strong body. He has basically no need for medicines to treat diseases and injuries. Strengthening potions can be replaced by alchemical potions and witchcraft.

Chemical products, engineering equipment, consumables and other necessities for light and heavy industries are not necessary for orcs.

My power of thinking is amazing.

As long as universal psychic materials are added to the waste, metal sheets can be used as glue, and glue can be used as bulletproof steel plates.

Li Nuo set up a waste warehouse in the warehouse area of the artificial ecosystem.

As long as there is stock in the scrap warehouses, the necessities for light and heavy industries will be available.

Looking at the booming scene, Li Nuo felt satisfied and expectant from the bottom of his heart.

"Paji."

A pile of Squiggle poop landed at his feet.

Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked sideways. He saw his own little pets playing a poop war game with fart spirits.

Alas, orcs are strong and simple-minded. They are not prone to illness or betrayal, but many of their bad habits are really unbearable.

"How many times have I told you not to play with poop? You are not Lao Ba! Why do you always play with poop?!"

Li Nuo picked up the witch's staff, rushed to the pets and fart spirits, and knocked on their heads several times, sending warm greetings to them.

The stupid dog yelped and ran away with its tail between its legs.

Its little friend is a Hydrogen Squig, which Li Nuo named Stupid Pig.

The stupid pig sprayed a mouthful of pure oxygen at Li Nuo and ran away with the stupid dog.

The four fart spirits looked at the angry witch priest timidly, their eyes rolling around and glancing at the poop on the ground from time to time.

Li Nuo gave them four dunks and said sternly:

"No, you are not allowed to play with poop. You are sending this stinky stuff to the sewage pool, do you understand? If I catch you playing with poop again, I will soak you in the sewage pool and bathe you with poop!"

The fart spirit picked up the poop on the ground and stuffed it into his steel pants, then left with a nod and a bow.

Li Nuo glared at the four of them, turned around and snapped his fingers at Zarg:
"Just keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to play with poop, I'll throw him into the sewage pool."

"Yeah, I've got that in mind."

Li Nuo took out the Noise Box and sent a message:

"Beast, come here."

"Okay, Boss, I'll be right there."

A few minutes later, the beast descended from the sky in a clicker and landed on the helipad near the shack.

"Beast, have you written the notice prohibiting the abuse of poop?"

"It's finished, take a look. If there's no problem, I'll have the good guys distribute it."

The Beast clicked on the data pad and handed the document he had written to the boss for review.

His series of actions were very skillful, like a shrimp who is proficient in secretarial skills.

The documentation he wrote also proved to be quite good.

...

Listen up guys, our witch priest has come up with a new rule:

Any kid who throws his poop into the sewage pool will get a stinking tooth as a reward.

Every time you throw a pile of poop into the sewage pool, you can get a tooth like this!

Remember, the cesspool is the only place poop should go!
It is forbidden to use the poop on the ground to make dung balls, it is forbidden to put the poop anywhere other than the sewage pool, and it is forbidden to take poop from the sewage pool!

The brat who disobeys the witch's orders will be forced to eat shit in a sewage pool!

WAAAGH!

...

The notice written by the beast adopted human thinking in terms of logic and was worded in the style of orc jargon, which was profound and easy to understand.

The most important thing is that you can get a reward for throwing poop into a sewage pool, and there is no rule that you can only get a reward if you throw your own poop.

In this way, smart orcs and fart spirits will take the initiative to collect the poop in their territory and throw it all into the sewage pool.

Li Nuo looked from top to bottom and nodded slightly: "Not bad, Beast. You should pay more attention to see which beastmen and fart spirits know how to pick up other people's poop and throw it into the sewage pool. Gather these beastmen and fart spirits and form an organization called the "Shit Shoveling Boy Association". From now on, they will be responsible for picking up poop and punishing those who violate the ban."

"Wow, boss, your idea is great. Why didn't I think of it?" The Beast's eyes lit up and he quickly wrote down what Li Nuo said.

Li Nuo smiled slightly:
"You can post the notice later. Take me to the shipyard first."

"Yeah, come with me."

Zarge acted as the pilot to fly the plane for Li Nuo, while Beast drove his own plane in front to lead the way.

The three flew more than ten kilometers in the air and came to a valley covered with steel scaffolding.

This valley has been transformed by a young technician. All the green plants have been stripped away and replaced by a huge dock built against the mountain.

Frigates and barges disguised as Onye people are docked here and are undergoing final inspections.

The ship style of the Onye people is mainly spherical with spikes.

The hull of a ship is an aerodynamic sphere.

The curved outer armor plates have protruding spikes that are the housings for laser arrays, machine guns, and external sensors.

The ship's paint scheme is mainly purple and black.

The combination of these two colors and the eye-catching spiked shape give the Onye people's ships an aura that makes people feel physically uncomfortable.

The beast introduced:

"Boss, we made some changes to the frigate's thrusters and engines to make the energy response characteristics of these two devices match those of the purple people. The navigation computers, communicators, radars, and fire control arrays of the frigate and barge have also been recompiled in the language of the purple people. No matter how you scan these two ships, you won't be able to find that they are our masterpieces. You will only think that they are two purple people's ships."

"Yeah, very good. How are the special forces boys preparing?" Li Nuo asked.

"I'll call them out for you to check." The Beast picked up the noisy box on his waist and greeted the leader of the special forces boys - Kron Bloodhand.

“Squeak———”

Two jet sounds were heard at the same time, and the external doors of the frigate and barge opened, and two rows of figures walked out.

Whether in demeanor, temperament, or behavior, they all look exactly like the Onye people, and their total number adds up to exactly 300, which is equal to the number of special warfare boys.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, and was impressed by the special forces boy's camouflage skills.

He used object finders of different specifications to scan the special warfare boy, and then used the system's built-in identification and fungus analysis to scan him, and finally recognized the special warfare boy's ability.

The scanning results of the object finder show that these 300 purple-skinned people transformed from special warfare boys have the biometric characteristics of purple-skinned people.

This ability to change comes from the genetic fragments of the Mud Man.

In the past half month, Li Nuo has performed genetic modification surgery on the special forces boys every night, giving them the ability to transform into mud men one by one.

Can scanning devices such as finders, Auger matrices, and auspicious devices find the biological characteristics of mud men or orcs from the special forces boy?

Theoretically, yes.

In actual combat, you can avoid this kind of situation by moving around.

As long as the special forces guys don't enter the 10-kilometer range around the shipborne scanning equipment, their true identities will not be discovered.

"Take off your disguises. I have something to say."

At Li Nuo's command, the 300 special forces boys at the scene returned to their original state.

After genetic modification, their skin changed from dark green to light green, their height reached 1.7 meters, their backs were straight, their bodies were well-proportioned, and their muscles were strong.

In order to make good use of this special forces team, Li Nuo got rid of many bad characteristics of the special forces boys.

Their irritability is gone, their slick personalities have disappeared, their bad habits of stealing have been erased, but the experience and memory of stealing remain.

Their personalities tend to be calm, cautious, steady, intelligent, cold-blooded, and silent. They can be said to be ruthless humanoid special warfare weapons.

Some of their genetic fragments come from the Technician Boy, so they are able to engage in repair and manufacturing work.

The blood-red thief's gloves remained unchanged. Li Nuo liked the color, function and name of the gloves.

The special warfare boy remains energetic, but he is not as aggressive as ordinary orcs, nor does he vent his energy through fighting.

Li Nuo's setting for them is:
When he was too energetic, he would go to the training room to train, or work in the workshop, or read the human empire books translated by the beasts into orc jargon.

A special operations team with strict discipline and strict compliance with orders was born.

Li Nuo's eyes swept across the faces of these special forces boys and saw the same calm expressions as his own, with respect and a hint of admiration in them.

The respect is because Li Nuo is now acting as a witch priest, and the worship comes from a genetic fragment arranged by Li Nuo.

This clip can make the special warfare boy feel a feeling of worship for the witch priest that is higher than respect but lower than blind obedience, and he will strictly protect the witch priest boy - Sack.

Just by changing the genetic code, one can reshape life forms and change logical thinking, emotional thinking and behavioral characteristics. What is the difference between this and being a god?

Perhaps, genes are the "life editing tools" left by gods from ancient times.

Li Nuo calmed his mind, put aside all distracting thoughts, and paced in front of the array while saying:
"You are the warriors I carefully crafted. You are the perfect combination of strength and skill. You possess both force and wisdom. You are so unique, and so is your mission."

Li Nuo stopped and glanced at Zarg, who picked him up and put him on his shoulder.

"You will become the ghosts that the rotten things don't want to face, shadows woven by the dark side of the real universe.

"Your glory does not lie in your heroic sacrifice on the battlefield, but in the sharp blade embedded deep in the enemy commander's cervical vertebrae, the virus code roaming in the enemy's database, and the chaos and turmoil created by potions and psychic energy.

"When the Iron Warriors clans set off a torrent of steel on the plains, you were injecting venom into the veins of the planet; when the Space Beast clans hunted the enemy, the neurotoxins you released had already made the enemy suffer; when the Thousand Sons clans joined forces to release thunder storms to bombard the world, you had already penetrated into the enemy's treasure house and seized all the data and spoils.

"You are the epitome of perfect infiltration, experts in assassination and espionage, silent stalkers and assassins.

"Now, I formally grant you permission to establish a new clan. The clan's name is..."

Li Nuo paused and slowly uttered a few syllables:

"Blood Raven."

The Blood Crow boys' eyes lit up and excitement flashed across their faces.

"From today on, you will leave your original clans and join the Blood Crow Clan. Kron Blood Crow, you are the boss of the clan."

"Yes, big shot!" Krohn responded loudly.

"Now, go check the ship. I will have the beasts prepare weapons and armor with the Blood Raven clan mark for you. Once the ship is checked, set off immediately."

"Got it!" Kron turned around and shouted a few words to the Blood Crow boys, and they returned to the ship to continue their inspection work.

Li Nuo took the data tablet from the beast, drew the Blood Crow Clan's mark, and instructed the other party to let the technicians spray the mark on the Blood Crow Clan's exclusive special warfare weapons and armor.

The beast scratched his head and asked:

"Boss, what is this Thousand Sons Clan you mentioned just now? I don't think there is a Thousand Sons Clan here."

"That is a new clan I plan to establish in the future. All the clan members are psychic boys. Speaking of which, you can help me keep an eye out for outstanding psychic boys."

"Psychic boy..." The beast was a little puzzled:
"Boss, aren't the psychic boys only good at sniffing and blasting? Their best ability is probably to show the way to Dot Dot. Why do we need to build a clan for them?"

"No, no, no, Beast, the Psychic Boy is just stupid, so he can only absorb psychic materials and headshots."

Li Nuo explained patiently:
"Brother Gao Mao told me that if we give the psychic kids some magical stinky water, they will be able to learn more psychic powers."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I understand."

The magical stinky water that Li Nuo mentioned is actually based on a series of potions discovered in witchcraft.

This type of potion allows the Psychic Boy to learn new psychic powers, a bit like the "skill book" in online games.

Its learning cost is very high, even more exaggerated than group enhancement witchcraft. The cheapest one costs 10 skill points.

Li Nuo thought that he would have to wait until he solved the problems with the Bone Drinkers and the Randan Alliance before he would have enough simulation points to form the Thousand Sons Clan.

After a series of intensive preparations, the two ships were ready and Blood Crow was ready to go.

Four green-skinned frigates appeared above the dock, towing the barge towards a low-ground orbit.

After the two Ounian ships arrived in outer space, the barge was towed into the warp by an Ounian-style frigate.

Based on the recent conditions in the subspace, Pengpa calculated that the two ships would arrive at the outer reaches of the solar system where the Onie people were located in 25 days, and would then head to the galaxy where the Broken Claw Order was located.

After approximately 50 days, both ships will come into view of the Broken Claw Order.

At that time, Li Nuo will possess Crone and personally direct the action to avoid mistakes.
