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

Chapter 200: Growing Mushrooms for the First Time in My Life

Three hours of warp travel, spent in conversation between the Word Bearers and the Wormmen.

The ship left the warp and returned to the physical universe.

The worm man scanned the space coordinates and confirmed that he and his group had arrived at their destination. He couldn't help but be convinced by the power of the Supreme God.

The ship returned along the same route and sent the three worm men back to the red planet.

Halfway through, the Word Bearer brought up the subject and made straightforward demands on Ran Dan.

Ran Dan doesn't need to worry about pleasing the four gods.

There was only one thing Ran Dan had to do, and that was to obey the instructions of the Four God Prophets and carry out the prophets' plans step by step.

This plan will take into account Ran Dan's interests and demands.

Ran Dan wants to avenge his previous humiliation and slaughter the Dark Angels, Space Wolves and Raven Guards. No problem, the Four Prophets will satisfy Ran Dan's demands.

It’s okay if Ran Dan wants to take back his home planet and technological heritage. Once the plan is implemented to a specific step, the home planet and technological heritage will naturally return to Ran Dan’s hands.

In the future, if Ran Dan wants to rebuild his empire in the northern part of the Misty Star Region, it will be no problem. The prophet will create conditions for Ran Dan to establish a country and ensure that the process of nation-building will not be interrupted by the human empire.

As long as Ran Dan obeys the prophet, there will be revenge and the mother planet will also be there.

So, who is the so-called prophet?
The Worm Man raised this question.

The five-member team did not answer, but only said that when the time is right, you will naturally know the answer.

They were very secretive about this topic, but Li Nuo immediately understood the identity of the prophet.

It had to be the Primarch of the Word Bearers, Lorgar Aurelion.

As the first Primarch to surrender to Chaos, he served as the voice of the great enemy of Chaos, an identity and status equivalent to that of a prophet.

The Worm Man could not guess the Prophet's true identity.

It can even be said that the origins of the five power armor warriors in front of them are also a mystery to the worm people.

The Sword-class frigate where everyone was located had been converted into an armed cargo ship. It belonged to a hive world, and this hive world was the territory of the Word Bearers.

Think about it from the perspective of the Wormmen. If the five power armor warriors came from the Word Bearers, would they come to meet them on the Word Bearers' armed freighter?
Absolutely not!

Isn't this just making one's identity known? People who serve the gods of the Warp wouldn't be so stupid.

Therefore, the Word Bearers' armed freighters were just deliberate smoke screens.

This is what the worm man thinks.

They tried to find out the true origins of the other five people in a roundabout way, hoping to threaten them with the crime of "collaborating with the enemy" and make the five people and the human forces behind them submit to Ran Dan.

The five-member team kept their mouth shut and did not reveal any information.

Three hours later, the ship returned to low-surface orbit around the dark red planet.

The worm man left a message and left in a shuttle.

"Once we have transformed all the slaves on this planet into slave soldiers, we will give you an accurate answer."

The shuttle left the ship, and the ship re-entered the warp and returned to the hive city - Rocadillo.

The five-man team walked into the cabin in silence, waiting for the voyage to end.

Li Nuo had already left the Sword-class frigate at this time.

After leaving special warfare spores and cultivation equipment in the ship's ventilation duct, he started walking in the subspace, followed the worm-man onto the shuttle, and headed for the Randan fleet.

The shuttle came to the surface from a low-ground orbit, flew at a low altitude, and stopped on a red plain where ships were parked.

The ships of the Randan Alliance can enter the atmosphere.

They not only perform combat missions, but also serve as recruitment points for the slave army.

Ran Dan's method of recruiting soldiers can be described as inhumane.

Capture the target, use surgery to erase the target's self-awareness, use mental interference to reshape the personality, use hormone regulation technology to instill combat knowledge, and wear a mental control collar to ensure that combat orders are effective. In this way, qualified slaves are born.

The intelligent life on the dark red planet is a group of strange creatures with the upper body similar to humans and the lower body similar to crabs.

Li Nuo called them "crab people".

The crab people's physiological structure does not match the standard equipment of slave soldiers.

Before they were transformed into slave soldiers, Ran Dan prepared a biochemical transformation project for them.

A tank-shaped biochemical device appeared in the open-air workshop. After the crab people entered the tank, they would be forcibly transformed into worm people by the green biochemical force field, and then undergo slave soldier transformation surgery.

Li Nuo's journey was eye-opening.

Ran Dan is truly an alien civilization that has pushed biochemical technology to its limits.

Compared with the Word Bearers and the Ultramarines, Randan's troop explosion speed is not much inferior.

According to a rough estimate, in about half a year, all the crab people will be converted into slave soldiers, and the corresponding number of troops will be around 300 million.

Thanks to the worms' unique physiological structure, slaves can be compressed into thin pancakes by special devices and piled up in the ship's cabin like cardboard.

By simply squeezing the fleet's storage space, Ran Dan could take away all 300 million new recruits and continue hunting slaves in another place.

During this six months, their fleet will stay on the ground and continue to convert slave soldiers.

"Hehehe, this couldn't be better."

Li Nuo was laughing secretly at the top of the red hillside. On the plain below, there were many ships and crowds of people.

This planet has an atmosphere and its intelligent creatures are not human, which meets the standards for a shocking and explosive launch.

Let Ran Dan gather his troops here first, and when the time is right, I will come and blow them all up.

Li Nuo "went offline" in secret joy.

Seven days later, the Steel Ingot was renovated and a new, powerful launch pad was added.

On the same day, the Ingot set sail from the planet Palu, with Ailon as the captain, Beast in charge of recording experimental data, Pumpa in charge of leading the way, and five space beast companies and four frigates as escorts.

Four days later, the Ingot arrived at the designated explosion test site.

This is a barren planet with an atmosphere, no life, and not many mineral resources.

Li Nuo possessed the beast and directed the explosion experiment throughout.

The appearance of the Shocking Boom is similar to that of the Orc Macrocannon's shells, with an irregular spherical shape and a diameter twice that of a Macrocannon shell.

After being launched using smoothbore technology, the ticking box inside the Big Boom will calibrate the trajectory in real time and adjust the flight attitude through the flame nozzle on the surface of the shell.

After entering the atmosphere, the intense friction turned Big Boom into a huge fireball.

In the middle of the stratosphere, a huge explosion occurred.

Light green clouds erupted outward along the shock wave, spreading to every corner of the world at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In fact, it is not that the green fog is spreading again, but that a chain reaction occurs in the atmosphere under the action of a catalyst.

The larger the area of the green cloud, the wider the contact surface between the catalyst and the atmosphere, and the more violent the chain reaction.

In just 10 minutes, the entire planet was shrouded in green mist.

Following Li Nuo's order, a cationic shell was fired and became the spark that ignited the planet.

When the golden-white cationic storm appeared on the green clouds, the entire planet glowed with dazzling white light in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my god! I detected a terrible explosion and radiation signal! The shock wave is coming! Hold on tight!"

The Ingot was hovering at the topmost level of the near-ground orbit, more than 600 kilometers from the surface, and the green dam covering the entire ship was activated.

But even so, when the entire planet lit up with white light, the still-strong ion storm still pushed the Ingot violently out.

The Green Dam generator overloaded within three seconds, emitting smoke and sparks. The energy shield was completely destroyed and high-energy particle beams bombarded the ship's external armor plate.

The ship vibrated violently, and the creaking sound of deformation echoed throughout the bridge. Everyone felt a strong sense of frustration, and everything in their sight was shaking violently.

After more than ten seconds, the vibration and noise gradually subsided.

The object-finding device scanned the entire ship and returned a string of astonishing data.

The Ingot was 900 kilometers away from the surface, more than 80% of its external armor plates were scrapped, and the hull structure damage rate reached 12%. The terrible ion storm was only 70 meters away from reaching the ship's plasma reactor.

It is hard to imagine what the scene will be like on the Ingot when the ion beam penetrates the partition of the reactor. All the orcs including Li Nuo will be buried with it!
Look out the porthole again.

Of the five green escort frigates, four were paralyzed and spewing black smoke, and one had already turned into wreckage, flying all over the sky.

And the planet that was attacked by the shocking bombardment was in ruins.

Huge, terrifying pits appeared on its surface, and the originally dark brown ground turned white, as if covered with a thick layer of frost. Dense planetary dust floated within the gravity of the planet.

The air in the bridge fell silent at this moment, and a few seconds later, cheers rang out.

"WAAAAAAGH!!"

"So cool!"

"Amazing bang, really powerful!"

"One more! One more!"

Come on, bullshit, do you think this is fireworks that you can set off whenever you want?

Li Nuo glanced at the fart spirit who was making trouble with a displeased look, flicked the other person's head with his steel-wrapped fingers, and kicked the fart spirit on the butt.

The fart spirit was wearing a steel helmet and steel open-crotch pants. He was kicked away like a ball, hit the wall and slowly slid down. He was not injured, but was confused as if he was drunk.

Li Nuo ordered to scan the planet, obtain data, and calculate the destructive power of the Jingtian Dabaohong, and at the same time sent the Boom Boom spacecraft to assist the frigate.

A moment later, the results of the explosion experiment came out.

The power of the ion storm at the time of the explosion was equivalent to more than 100 trillion tons of TNT detonating at the same time.

A layer of skin about 1200 meters thick was "scraped" off the planet's surface.

In other words, everything from the surface to a depth of 1200 meters underground has turned into planetary dust floating within the range of gravity.

But this does not mean that the area below 1200 meters is a safe zone.

After the four frigates regained their mobility, they went to the surface to carry out drilling missions and collect rock and soil samples below 1200 meters.

The test results of the samples show that the high pressure caused by the explosion greatly compressed the underground space, causing phase changes or chemical reactions in the mineral veins, sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks and groundwater within the range of 1200 to 3000 meters underground.

The most typical is a solid promethium vein.

It was originally just ordinary solid promethium ore.

After the big explosion, some of the promethium ore crystallized under high temperature and high pressure.

The critical temperature of the crystallization reaction of promethium ore is 1300 degrees Celsius, and the critical pressure is 14.2 times the standard atmospheric pressure.

From this, we can infer the approximate situation between 1200 and 3000 meters underground at the time of the devastating explosion.

So, what does 1300 degrees Celsius and 14.2 times atmospheric pressure mean?

Let's just put it that way.

Even if the Primarch comes, he will die.

Except for those who have ascended to magic and merged the essence of the warp.

"Let's go back and repair the ship."

Li Nuo ordered the helmsman boy to steer the boat, returned the control of the body to the beast, and switched to the witch priest boy - Sack, to supervise the earth-shattering production work.

Time is spent in making "big mushrooms" day after day.

The inventory of Shockwaves has steadily increased, the supporting launchers and launch processes have also been improved, and the Palu Warlord has thrived.

The new generation of orc laborers and existing laborers have undergone a certain degree of alchemical potion transformation.

Smarter, more capable, and more precise, they are four times more productive than before and ten times more productive than the Mechanicus's forge worlds.

It takes the Mechanicum months to build a Sword-class frigate.

The situation is different for Palu workers. 5 workers can build a green frigate in just half a month.

The underground shipyard has more than 20 docks, and the efficiency of collective work is incredibly amazing.

The mechanical workshop that produces weapons, equipment, explosives and spare parts is also operating in an extremely efficient state.

Half a month later, 10 earth-shattering bombs gathered together, thousands of giant cationic bombs were ready, medium, small and micro cationic explosives were countless, and 30 Palu warriors were ready to go.

In the underground dock, the Steel Ingot was renovated, and next to it was a battleship of the same type named Iron Block.

Nut, Screw and Gear, three cruiser-level green-skinned ships, began to serve, focusing on high mobility and battlefield support capabilities.

There are also more than 50 frigates, all of which are crispy crayfish with strong firepower and strong maneuverability. They rely entirely on high-speed cruising "speed resistance" to fight against enemy cruisers and battleships.

The size of the Palu warlord's fleet is equivalent to half of the human empire's expeditionary fleet, but its combat power is enough to crush any expeditionary fleet.

In the bridge of the Ingot, Li Nuo possessed Sack and presided over a pre-war meeting.

Also attending the meeting were:
Ailon, leader of the Iron Warriors tribe, commander of the Palu planet garrison, and chief of public security of the Palu planet;

Space, the boss of the Space Beast Clan, the frontline commander of the Palu warlords;
Beast, the second in command of the Space Beast Clan, also serves as the chief think tank and acting frontline commander of the Palu warlord;

Kron, the leader of the Blood Raven clan and the head of the Palu warlord's operatives;

Guradin, the chief technical master of the Palu warlord;
Samar, the chief mad doctor of the Palu warlord;

Kado, the chief livestock boy of the Palu warlord;

Yaga, the chief fart slaver of the Palu warlords;
Pumpa, Chief of the Palu Warlord Navigator Team;
As well as several team leaders from the bombardment team, the noisy team, the stuff-finding team, and the bang-bang spaceship team.

The huge bridge was packed with orcs who had undergone deep alchemical potion strengthening and genetic modification. They sat quietly around the round table, listening to the words of the witch priest.

Li Nuo held the witch's staff in his hand, jumped onto the round table, and said loudly:

"Boys, Brother Gomao told me that if we wipe out the worms, he and his brothers will give us the blueprints of the Black Bean Sprouts' web access device!"

The orcs' eyes sparkled, and they shook their shoulders excitedly, or waved their fists and cheered.

After a few seconds, the scene returned to calm.

Li Nuo continued:

"Space, beast, the two of you can lead the fleet and set off. Reach the worm people's planet within 35 days. Use shocking bombardment and interdiction tactics to annihilate the enemy. Don't let any of them escape."

"Yes, boss!" x2
"Alon, your mission is to guard our planet Palu! Remember our self-defense strategy, which is concealment first and counterattack second. First, activate the camouflage protocol and disguise the planet as the original one. If the camouflage fails, launch a counterattack."

"okay!"

"Gulardin, after I hand you the blueprints, you must produce the web access device as quickly as possible and complete the installation of the reconnaissance ship in the shortest possible time."

"Ang!" The chief technical master Guladin slapped his metal breastplate and responded loudly.

"Kron, once the reconnaissance ship is equipped with the webway access device, send a company into the webway immediately to find the webway entrance to the Solar Sector."

"As ordered!"

"Samael..."

Li Nuo issued his orders one by one.

For at least the next month, the planet Palu will be in a state of combat readiness, and the Palu fleet will also be fighting outside. Pre-war mobilization and wartime supplies must be properly arranged, and no mistakes can be made.

After the mobilization meeting, non-frontline combat personnel left the Ingot.

Space and Beast led the Ingot, Iron Block, Screw, Nut, Gear and more than forty frigates to leave the planet Palu.

The fleet opened the subspace entrance and headed for the planet where the Randan Alliance was stationed. It is expected to reach its destination in 35 days at most.

After the fleet left, there were still ten frigates on the planet Palu, and the overall combat effectiveness dropped significantly.

Li Nuo possessed the witch boy and raised the planet's alert level.

From now on, all production facilities on the surface will be shut down and processed to their original state.

Within fifteen days, the surface landscape of the planet Palu was restored, traces of reclamation and grazing were erased, and original forests and grasslands reoccupied the surface.

The top ventilation holes of the ten vertical shafts are sealed, so that the heat generated by the shafts no longer escapes into the air in the form of water vapor, but is converted into electrical energy and waste heat through silicon carbide materials.

Just like that, all the orcs on the surface disappeared, and the area below 5 kilometers underground became lively.

Artificial farms, pastures, and plantations enjoy artificial sunlight, and water and air cycles operate normally. There is no need to collect any air or water from the outside world, and pollutants such as domestic waste and industrial waste are purified and recycled.

With the soil and rocks between the surface and 5 kilometers underground as the boundary, the above ground and underground become two different worlds.

The surface is the original appearance of the planet, while underground is the home of the Palu warlord.

This is the planet camouflage protocol formulated by Li Nuo.

While waiting for the fleet to arrive at the Randan base, the troop development and production work on the planet Palu proceeded as normal.

More than a month passed quickly.

That afternoon, when Li Nuo was studying the legalization path of Gauss weapons in his private laboratory, a system message popped up, officially announcing the arrival of Palu's first battle in the team.
