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

Chapter 204: Poor little web devil, born like an ant, lighter than dust

After following Big Black Fang's orc pirate fleet to visit the Webway last time, Li Nuo once again felt the silence after the disappearance of the cosmic background radiation.

Electromagnetic signals that cannot be captured by hearing can no longer subtly interfere with a person's emotions and thinking.

The scalp relaxes, the spirit is soothed, and the mind functions in tranquility.

Matching this wonderful situation is a darkness that is so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

There was nothing outside the ship.

The power of the lamp was turned to maximum, and hundreds of millions of lumens of light condensed into a dazzling beam, but it could only illuminate the vacuum within a short distance.

Optical observation methods have little effect, and the strong light may even attract the enemy. Li Nuo simply turned off the searchlight, raised the baffle to cover the portholes, and prevented the light in the room from escaping.

The object finder scans the surrounding space and compiles the reflected signals into a visual image.

On the holographic screen, there is nothing around, it can be said to be an absolute vacuum.

The atmosphere in the bridge became depressing.

Even the usually daring Fart Spirit couldn't help but swallow his saliva at this moment, feeling a little uneasy about the darkness before his eyes.

Li Nuo was the first to come to his senses.

He played the role of the Blood Crow boss, came to the high platform of the bridge, and gave orders to the guys below:
"Find the Dongdong team and scan the space around us."

"hold head high."

The stuff-finders tinkered with the mechanical device, extending the scanning range of the stuff-finder to the limit.

Within a range of 100 million kilometers, there is nothing, an absolute vacuum.

Several radar signals were detected within a range of 1000 million kilometers, and it was initially determined that they were some kind of space entity.

"Directional scanning for the radar signal closest to us."

"okay."

Find the device to operate at high frequency.

After a few seconds, the scan results came out.

600 million kilometers away from the ship, there is a space entity with a signal diameter of 3000 kilometers.

This object is in a static state, with no life or chemical reactions. It can be said to be a lifeless dead object.

Li Nuo planned to go there first to check out the situation.

But then he discovered a fatal spot.

Where did the webway node go when I came in? !

Shouldn't it be behind the ship?
Looking closely at the holographic image of the object finder, Li Nuo confirmed that there were no webway nodes around the ship, and it was impossible for him and his group to return by the same route.

"Exploring the Webway is really dangerous. No one knows what is behind the safe Webway nodes."

Li Nuo secretly complained in his heart and ordered:
"Start sublight speed mode. Let's go see what the space entity 600 million kilometers away is. The psychic boy will be responsible for using the webway access device to search for nearby webway nodes."

"Ang!" The helmsman steered the ship and increased the speed.

The psychic boy blew bubbles in the amniotic fluid tank and used his mind to connect to the Webway access device to search for the whereabouts of the Webway node.

The reconnaissance ship entered sublight speed navigation.

The reconnaissance ship crossed the distance of 600 million kilometers in the blink of an eye.

When the visual image of the spatial entity appeared on the holographic screen, Li Nuo, who clearly did not suffer from gigantic fear, still felt the enormous pressure from the giant object, so much so that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Not only him, but also the fart spirits and boys in the bridge were all deeply shocked when they saw the imaging of the space entity.

This is an extremely huge heart.

The light grey muscle fibres were clearly visible, the blood vessels were stacked together like corals, and the grey blood beads at the ends of the blood vessels condensed into huge spheres.

It is no exaggeration to say that the narrowest blood vessels are wide enough for a reconnaissance ship to pass through.

When faced with such a huge object, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell its origin, let alone determine whether it is a heart.

But Li Nuo did it.

This is the credit of identification technology.

【Identification successful.】

【Name: Heart specimen of an adult Void Whale. 】

【describe:】

[For some unknown reason, the heart specimen that was supposed to be sent to the subspace biological cemetery appeared here. ]

[A small amount of subspace energy remains in it, which may disappear at any time. ]

Awesome, worthy of being called the Void Whale.

If Li Nuo remembered correctly, the total length of an adult Void Whale could reach 2 kilometers. It seemed to make sense that its heart specimen had a diameter of 3000 kilometers in a vacuum environment.

The identification results show that this thing contains subspace energy.

Then can the ancient crystalline fungi extract single crystals of subspace energy from it?
Li Nuo became interested.

"Come closer and find a suitable place on the surface of this thing to drop anchor."

The helmsman took the order, turned the rudder, and steered the reconnaissance ship to draw an arc.

The ship approached the heart specimen in a steady manner.

Due to its huge size and certain mass, the heart specimen has gravity parameters that are about one-fifth of Terra's.

The ship found a suitable angle, sailed along the tangent line toward the surface of the heart, and dropped anchor more than a thousand meters above the ground.

The anchor head made of ceramic steel rubbed against the ground, leaving a long string of sparks on the surface of the heart and successfully got stuck in the texture of the muscle fibers.

The traction device was activated, and the ship slowly descended, successfully landing on the heart's surface without an atmosphere.

"The salvage team is collecting samples. The rest of the teams remain alert."

The external hatch of the lower deck was opened, and the salvage team sent three teams to the ground to collect samples using a laser cutter.

About 10 minutes later, a fist-sized sample was delivered to Li Nuo.

He opened the system interface, paused the single crystal production, and started the fungus cultivation simulation.

[You choose the fragments of the voidship heart specimen as culture medium and try to cultivate the ancient crystal fungus.]

【The simulation experiment begins. 】

Day 1…

The cultivation simulation was carried out very quickly and the results were encouraging.

【Day 15】

[The ancient crystal fungus extracted 5 grams of sub-space energy single crystals from the sample. ]

【The subspace energy in the sample has been exhausted. 】

[Do you want to end the simulation and proceed with the settlement? ]

Li Nuo put the sample in the glass jar into his pocket and silently calculated the amount.

The sample disappeared from the pocket, and 5 grams of subspace energy single crystal appeared in the fungal warehouse.

Looking at the gray ground outside the porthole, Li Nuo's heart was burning with anger.

This is the webway, not the real universe, and it is unlikely that the four vendors would discover the ancient crystalline fungi.

Maybe he could cultivate the ancient crystalline fungi on a large scale and extract all the subspace from the heart specimen.

This operation will not affect the fungal cultivation simulation, which can still be used to produce single crystals, and the two do not interfere with each other.

When producing single crystals in a fungal cultivation simulation, the daily output is affected by the degree of atavism, and is currently fixed at 120 grams per Terran day.

But it’s different when cultivating the ancient crystalline fungi in the webway.

The larger the cultivation scale, the higher the yield, easily exceeding 120 grams per day.

It is important to note that demons may exist in the Webway.

Aren’t there many murderous demons appearing around the Eldar hub city below the golden toilet?

Li Nuo's mind was racing. He was not in a hurry to build a mushroom field here. He decided to first figure out the situation of this transportation hub before considering anything else.

"Where is the nearest spatial entity to here?" Li Nuo asked.

The guy found Dongdong and tapped the keyboard to bring up the image on the dot chart:

"Boss, at 200 o'clock on the bow, 600 million kilometers away, there is a radar signal with a diameter of kilometers."

"Let's go and take a look."

The ship set sail and approached the target at sublight speed.

As soon as they approached the destination, the psychic boy on the dot map shouted:

"Boss! There's some crap here!"

A streak flashed across the holographic map, showing the location of the shit in real time.

Hundreds and thousands of pink dots of light appeared.

Each pink dot of light represents a Slaanesh Daemon.

The enemy was concentrated in front of the ship, with about 20 kilometers between us.

As the distance between the two sides shortened, a section of the Void Whale's spine came into view.

This thing is about 600 kilometers long, with a large number of arc-shaped giant bones distributed on its narrow spine, and the calcium ripples on the surface of the bones are denser than annual rings.

Pink goblins chiseled bones in groups, absorbing the subspace energy from the dry powdered bone marrow and handing it over to the succubus who acted as the supervisor.

When seeing this group of lively Slaanesh demons, Li Nuo suddenly realized how huge the advantage of the greenskins was.

It is well known that Slaanesh demons generally possess the ability to become whatever others want them to see.

Driven by physiological instinct, male humans will see the opposite sex whose appearance can most arouse their desire.

But the green-skinned uncles don’t have that kind of need, which is equivalent to being immune to the “physiological desire test”.

When they encountered the Slaanesh demons, the boys on the ship saw their true form directly and were not fooled by their ability to transform. This is one of the advantages of the greenskins.

Another advantage of the greenskins is the "technology tree".

My power of thinking helps to tap into the genetic knowledge base and create various orc technological creations.

In the Internet, what technological creation is the most important?

Weapons? Equipment? Ammunition?

No, no, no, neither.

The most important thing is transportation!
Without transportation, it is impossible to move forward.

Look at these Slaanesh demons before you.

They use their claws to mine the spinal cord, and use their arms to hold blocks of spinal cord and present them to their supervisors. Their production efficiency and transportation methods are extremely backward.

Look at our green uncle, he is driving a spaceship and singing, traveling at sub-light speed, using a laser cutter with super high efficiency, and crushing the demons in all aspects!
This huge gap in production is caused by the technology tree.

The devil doesn't know how to build a spaceship!
Their ability to jump and many of their sudden appearance abilities rely heavily on the subspace.

So in the webway, can we use subspace travel methods such as "subspace walking"?

Li Nuo tried to activate the bacteria ability - subspace walking.

【Attention! Due to the lack of necessary environmental conditions, the use of subspace walking failed. 】

hahahahahahahahahahaha!
So cool, so cool!
The webpath is indeed strong against sub-space creatures!

Before grabbing flying props such as spaceships, flight backpacks, and rocket boots, the winged Slaanesh Demon is equivalent to a walking chicken!
The scanning results of the object finder showed that there were at least one million Slaanesh chickens on the 600-kilometer Void Whale spine.

The reconnaissance ship is equipped with a laser array, which can continuously emit lasers as long as the blue fire furnace is not extinguished.

We have the advantage in air superiority and firepower, and can also replenish supplies through Waaagh simulation, so it is no problem to destroy these millions of Slaanesh chickens.

The webway is a paradise for green-skinned guys to kill monsters!
Li Nuo rubbed his hands excitedly, but did not take it lightly.

He ordered the helmsman boy to inspect the spine, and asked the find-thing team to conduct an in-depth scan of the rotten thing's combat effectiveness.

Most of the spinal cord in the spine was hollowed out, and the vacated space became a breeding ground for the Slaanesh free-range chickens.

Among the total of 312 million walking chickens, more than 95% are purple-skinned goblins and illusion weavers, only 5% are succubi, and there are no units with flying capabilities.

To be on the safe side, Li Nuo ordered the reconnaissance ship to circle other space entities to look for demons that could fly.

These spatial entities are:
Two sections of Void Whale spines, 1200 km and 500 km in length;

The stomach of a void whale is an oblate spheroid with a diameter of 3000 kilometers.

A large mass of Void Whale fat, spherical in appearance, directly reaches an exaggerated size of more than 1 kilometers.

The above space entities contain more or less Slaanesh demons, all of which are ground-runners, and there are no flying units.

So the question is, where did these flightless Slaanesh chickens come from?
It can't be that it was taken from the specimen of the Void Whale.

Li Nuo was worried and launched a full-scale investigation of the current cyberspace.

The reconnaissance ships started to sail at sub-light speeds one after another, running around everywhere.

Three Terra hours later, the truth came to light.

The space we are currently in is the T33 Internet Transportation Hub.

It is a sphere with a diameter of about 1 million kilometers.

There are 26 webway nodes in and out of this hub.

20 of the nodes are in a damaged state and need to be repaired using the correct method.

Of the 5 available nodes, 4 are marked as "safe", and the remaining one is corrupted by Slaanesh.

The Slaanesh chickens in the hub space are "spurted out" from the nodes corrupted by Slaanesh.

The so-called "spray out" means literally.

There is a 1 km long crack on the corrupted node gate, which spews out warp storms from time to time.

The storm was fast and fierce, and the "air flow" could blow to places tens of millions of kilometers away. The Slaanesh Chicken was blown in by the Warp storm.

The Slaanesh Chicken that happened to land on the Void Whale specimen took root and sprouted, using the subspace energy in the specimen to reproduce itself.

A Slaanesh Chicken that unfortunately falls into a vacuum zone will eventually turn into nothingness due to the exhaustion of the subspace energy in its body.

Theoretically, if the cracks on the corrupted nodes do not expand and no flying demons are ejected, the hub space will be the world of reconnaissance ships.

So what are you waiting for? Start brushing!
When the second webchannel access device is built on the planet Palu the day after tomorrow, I will start the frigate and speed up the sweep!
"Boys, prepare for battle! Those bastards are all free-range chickens! Use the sizzle cannons to deal with them! Don't waste ammunition! Blue Fire Stove Team, light up the furnace!"

The Zizi Cannon is what Xiami calls a laser array, and it gets its name from the Zizi sound it makes when it is operating.

Several orders were issued one after another, and each team started to operate.

The reconnaissance ship sailed at sub-light speed and arrived above the fat ball of the Void Whale. The Zizi cannon crew pointed the muzzles of their guns at the ground below, buzzing and spitting out scorching laser beams.

The scout ship's Zizi Cannon has two shooting modes: sniper and storm.

In sniper mode, the Zizi Cannon will charge for a period of time, condense the high-energy rays into a beam and fire it out. It has a long range and high single-point power.

In Storm Shooting mode, the operating principle of the Zizi Cannon is similar to that of a "six-barreled Gatling gun".

Six groups of barrels and focusers fire alternately, cooling and charging in turn, emitting laser beams continuously and rapidly.

The shooting mode at this time is storm type.

Dozens of lasers fell from the sky, sweeping across the ground like plows.

The free-range chickens that were mining the energy of the subspace were caught off guard. They were shot out in waves by lasers and turned into purple smoke that dissipated into the vacuum.

The succubus acting as the overseer roared toward the sky, letting out a silent scream.

Li Nuo was not going to tolerate it and immediately ordered the machine gun crew to kill the succubus with precision.

Laser storms were rampant, machine guns were banging, Slaanesh chickens were falling like grass, and the kill record on the system interface was rising rapidly.

After dozens of rounds of salvos, the temperature of the laser array's focuser reached a critical point and had to be cooled for a period of time.

There was a brief pause in the deadly artillery fire, allowing a faint communications signal to enter the bridge.

"Boss! There's a purple-skinned jerk who wants to chat with you!"

While the laser array is cooling down, it is just sitting there doing nothing.

Li Nuo waved his hand:
"Please bring it in for me."

"okay."

The psychic communication signal sent by the Slaanesh demon was compiled into a visual communication interface. A holographic screen popped up, and a succubus with sharp horns on its head appeared on the screen.

Without the illusion filter, the succubus looks really ugly, with a pale and thin face, fangs, black eyes, and facial wrinkles. No wonder the greenskins call it a piece of junk.

The sound of his speech was as unpleasant as a bass with broken strings.

"Damned orcs, stop your foolish behavior! We are the vanguard of the Dark Prince! Any act of usurpation on your part will be met with our cruel revenge! Lord Dezamalix will avenge us!"

Dezamalix, this should be the name of one of the chosen ones of Slaanesh.

Li Nuo asked directly:
"Does your Lord have a fleet?"

"Fleet? Haha. Lord Dezamalix is a noble champion! He has countless chariots and warriors! His magic sword can cut through iron like mud. The wind it creates alone can tear your ugly ships into pieces!"

Chariots cannot fly.

This is common sense.

Li Nuo asked again:
"Can Dezamalix fly?"

"Shut up! How dare you call the Lord's name directly! When he spreads his dark wings, the sky will be covered, and we will be happy vertically under his shadow! He will perform a gorgeous shuttle to enter your ship and kill all of you damn greenskins in an elegant dance!"

The succubus roared, her expression extremely ferocious, as if Chelsea had been stepped on.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and asked:
"You just said that he can enter my ship by teleporting, right? Is this a kind of displacement psychic power achieved through subspace transit?"

"Of course." The succubus raised her head, quite proudly:

"Lord Dezamalik's warp-traveling skills are superb. You and your ship are doomed to have nowhere to escape. Just leave our planet and I will pretend that you have never been here."

Planet?

Isn't this the fat ball of the Void Whale?
Although its size is similar to that of an asteroid, it cannot be considered a planet.

Li Nuo was speechless, the corners of his light green mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered as if he was looking at an idiot:
"Have you forgotten that this is the Webway? In the Webway, you bastards can't move through the Warp."

The succubus's arrogant expression froze, and doubt appeared in her eyes:

"What is the Webway?"

Li Nuo looked at the succubus with a suspicious look on her face and suddenly realized something!

This web space is a vacuum environment, and its various spatial parameters are similar to those of the real universe.

Imagine that a creature is born in the Webway and has never been to the real universe. Would it regard the Webway as the real universe?
It's really possible.

"Have you never been to the subspace?" Li Nuo asked.

The succubus' lips moved and she twisted her neck to pretend to be calm:

"Of course I have been there! It is our eternal home, the holy place of the Dark Prince, the source of endless joy!"

"Oh, it seems you haven't been there." Li Nuo suddenly realized and asked again:
"Have you ever tried to travel through the warp? Has it never worked?"

The succubus was startled and didn't say anything, but her wandering eyes betrayed her anxious heart.

Li Nuo shook his head and looked at the succubus with the eyes of a pitiful person:

"Have you ever seen Dezamalik? Probably not. You only know the name of this Slaanesh champion through other people's mouths. How pitiful. Born in the Webway, he can't even enter the Warp and can only crawl on the ground like a dog. Do you know what the ground beneath your feet is? It's a piece of fat from the Void Whale, not a planet. It just becomes spherical under the action of its own gravity."

"Not...a planet..."

The succubus's worldview was shattered and her eyes were blank.

Li Nuo gestured to the side.

Zizi cannon fired a beam of light.

The succubus in the communication screen was burned by the strong light, leaving no ashes at all.
