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

Chapter 281 Subspace Nemesis

[Gene fragment: Frag0000055]

[Function: Generates a subspace projection of the will of the tendrils.]

【describe:】

[Once this possibility is activated, the tendril's will can adjust the size of its projection in the subspace.]

Subspace projection can disrupt subspace communication and navigation.

The larger the subspatial projection, the greater the consumption of biomass.

[Gene fragment: Frag0000058]

[Function: Immune subspace contamination.]

【describe:】

[Due to this gene fragment, all bio-ships and units of the Tyranids are permanently immune to subspace contamination, including but not limited to:]

[1. Mental and material pollution of subspace organisms;]

2. All positive, negative, and neutral emotions and wills carried by subspace energy;

[3. Any spiritual or physical psionic energy that gives energy to the warp and to the warp itself;]

4. Any means of displacement that requires the use of subspace.

(note)

Frag55 fragments help the Tendril Will create a warp projection, essentially erecting a firewall and encirclement around the Tyranids in the warp to prevent the enemy from escaping, infiltrating, and relocating.

Frag58 grants the Terran Zerg immunity to all positive, negative, and neutral effects related to the warp.

Due to this limitation, the Terran Zerg cannot travel through the warp.

When Li Nuo saw these two gene fragments, his heart skipped several beats.

He immediately initiated a fungal gene simulation, transferring the two gene fragments to Palu Boy's gene sample.

Thus, he obtained two gene fragments that would completely rewrite the fate of orcs.

The impact of these two events was no less significant than humanity's first mastery of fire.

[Gene Fragment: Subspace Immune Psionic Field]

【describe:】

This psionic field possesses all the functions of ancient orc psionic energy, and is immune to all positive, negative, and neutral influences related to the warp.

[Gene Fragment: Palu Projection]

[Function: Creates a warlord's warp projection in the warp. This is a light green warp field that can block warp communications, prevent psykers from casting spells, and intercept warp travel.]

The larger the projection scale, the greater the consumption of universal psionic materials.

Li Nuo was breathing rapidly and struggled to suppress a joyful roar.

Now is not the time to be happy.

The final effect of a gene fragment depends on whether its expression process is successful.

Li Nuo left the laboratory and went to the interrogation room:
“Beast, I’ve sent the questions I need to ask to your data board. The task of interrogating Behemoth is now yours. I have some very important things to attend to.”

"Okay, boss."

The beast pulled out a data panel to receive the data.

Li Nuo strode out of the interrogation room, returned to the laboratory, activated the fungal gene simulation, and rapidly cultivated the Palu Boy.

Half an hour later, a unique Paru boy was born in the laboratory.

He possesses genetic fragments from the ancient orcs, the Palu orcs, and the Tyranids, and has a psionic field that grants immunity to the influence of the subspace.

Li Nuo led him to the bridge, ordered the ship to leave the network and head to the real universe, activated the subspace travel mode, and attempted to enter the subspace.

The subspace portal opened, and the Wrench flew in.

Palu, who is immune to the effects of the subspace, enters the subspace along with the spaceship.

When the Wrench began its subspace journey, he accompanied the spacecraft on its subspace journey.

This means that although the new psionic field is immune to the effects of the warp, it does not prevent the owner of the psionic field from entering and exiting the warp and navigating through the warp.

Li Nuo then dressed Paru in a spacesuit and sent him outside the protection of the ship and the rubbish shield, allowing him to go outside the ship alone.

A magical scene appeared.

The ubiquitous subspace energy actually withdrew from Paru's side, using the psionic field as a dividing line.

On the surface of Paru Boy's body, there was a noticeable vacuum zone about five centimeters thick, which contained not a trace of subspace energy.

The outline and thickness of the vacuum zone perfectly match the new psionic field.

"Holy shit... Holy shit... Holy shit..."

Li Nuo reached out and braced himself against the railing of the command platform, exclaiming "Holy shit!" three times in a row.

The boys and punks below the command platform all stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, at Paru, who was freely roaming outside the ship, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn it, Second Brother Mao! Why is he allowed to play around outside?!"

"Space! Space! I want to swim in warp space too!"

The brat is making a huge fuss.

Li Nuo, however, did not find it noisy.

At that moment, a flame was burning fiercely in his chest!
When the orcs' psionic field can completely repel warp energy...
When this psionic field completely retains the original function of the orc and ancient orc psionic fields...
When this psionic field can be replicated on a large scale using genetic technology

When orcs can live freely in the warp,
The entire universe, the corresponding warp space, and the web of the warp space will become the territory of the orcs!

Now let's look at the subspace projection of the Palu warlord.

It will become a powerful tool for the Palu Kid to expand his territory in the warp.

The lethality and strategic value of this gene fragment can no longer be measured by simple numbers.

Li Nuo pressed his hand to his chest and took a deep breath:

"Bring the kid back from outside. Helmsman, leave the warp and return to the Webpath."

"Yeah, boss."

Wrench picked up Palu Boy, who possessed a new type of psionic field, and returned to the Web Path to rejoin the main force.

Li Nuo activated the noisy box and asked:
"Beast, is the interrogation over?"

"It's over, boss."

"Take down that bug, and use a devastating bomb to sweep away the battlefield inside and outside the net tunnel. Complete the cleanup within half an hour, and then we'll return to Planet Paru to rest."

"hold head high!"

Moments later, the fleet returned to Planet Paru.

Li Nuo reviewed the interrogation results on the way and stored the data in the data board for easy access at any time.

He switched his consciousness to the witch priest boy, Sak, and broadcast a message to the entire planet of Paru and to all outposts of the Webway Forward Base:

"Kids, I have some awesome news for you. We successfully destroyed one of the Tyranid's tendrils. Brother Gou Mao is very pleased with this. The two of them rewarded us with an incredibly cool and awesome gadget. The bridge crew of the Wrench has already seen its effects; it allows us to live freely in the warp without worrying about being corrupted by warp energy..."

The planet Paru and the Netway Forward Base were in complete uproar!
"I hereby declare that, from this moment forward, all work is suspended except for the basic tasks of maintaining the operation of Planet Paru and the Netway Forward Base, and the testing of the Heart of Fire. All boys must complete their genetic modifications within one week!"

At Li Nuo's command, the genetic modification project on Planet Paru commenced full-speed operation. Previously, when implanting ancient beastman gene fragments into the Paru boy, the Chief Mad Doctor had constructed tens of thousands of genetic modification stations in one go.

After the implantation was completed, Li Nuo did not remove the gene modification station.

These 10,000 modification stations immediately went into overload operation, with the technicians frantically building new modification stations.

Meanwhile, testing of the Heart of Fire and patrolling of the territory proceeded as normal.

A week later.

The Palu warlords, with a total of 1.2 million Palu kids and a population of 3.6 million, have successfully completed genetic modification.

The resulting dramatic transformation is primarily manifested on the battlefield of the Internet Graveyard.

In the past, Palu Boy had to be equipped with terracotta armor and monocrystalline plates to withstand attacks from the Web Path Demon.

After being modified, a Fart Demon only needs to wear a plastic steel armor to fight a Khorne leader one-on-one.

When the Khorne Demon's blade comes into contact with the Farling's psionic field, the warp energy on it will dissipate as if avoiding a plague.

The Khorne Blade, made of only bone and a small amount of metal, was no match for the sculpted steel armor after losing its psionic enhancement.

The farting demon, dagger in hand, lunged forward, causing the warp energy on the surface of the Khorne Demon's body to dissipate on its own.

With a single, forceful swing, a crude dagger forged from scrap metal can plunge into the eye sockets of the Khorne demon, crushing its head and churning its brains.

Just three days after completing the genetic modification, the Paru warlords had occupied one-third of the subspace creature corpses in the Netway Graveyard.

Three more days passed, and the Net Path Demons were utterly routed, their lines falling one after another, with half of the warp creatures' remains falling into the hands of the Paru warlords.

Three more days passed, and Li Nuo mobilized a massive army of 1200 million Paru soldiers to sweep away the demons with overwhelming force. On the last day, he killed the last Web Path Demon and took the last piece of the subspace creature's corpse.

Thus, the war in the Netway Graveyard, which lasted for more than four months, ended with a complete victory for the Palu warlords.

The ancient Lingzu production facilities within the Netway Cemetery are now obsolete, rendering the Netway Cemetery unusable.

But it doesn't matter, the Palu warlord has already made a fortune.

The supply of subspace biological materials has increased 100-fold, and the Paru warlord's productivity has exploded.

The production capacity of subspace energy single crystals has reached 1 tons per day.

The production capacity of the Miracle Spores has reached 10 per day.

Li Nuo's simulated points on his account have exceeded an astonishing 75 billion!
Even so, Li Nuo still did not make a full-scale advance into the subspace.

His focus remained on the capital of the Paru Empire's network.

"Has the Heart of Fire test been completed?"

"Yes, Priest. Purple Sprout has built 3 Hearts of Fire and 10 Psionic Engines for us. The Hearts of Fire are now fully charged and all tests have been completed. These are the test results I recorded. Please take a look."

Chief Tech Master - Guradil sent the data to the data board of the Witch Boy - Sak.

Li Nuo possessed Sak, carefully examined the data, and silently gave a thumbs up to the convenience of Eldar technology.

Like most Eldar technological creations, the Heart of Fire also has a user interface, and it's quite intelligent.

Take Planet Paru as an example.

The total mass of this planet is 5 x 21 tons.

When using the Heart of Fire to alter a planet's geological structure, the consumption of single crystals must be at least 0.1% of the planet's total mass.

When using the Heart of Fire to transfer a planet, the consumption of single crystals must be at least 1% of the planet's total mass, depending on the planet's composition.

The higher the water content, the greater the consumption of single crystals.

According to the calculations of Chief Tech Master - Guradil, the cost of transferring Planet Paru into the Net Channel is approximately 0.2% of the planet's total mass, or 1 * 10^21 tons.

If you use a spirit bone, the cost will be multiplied by 10.

If subspace energy is directly extracted for use, the cost will be multiplied by 10.

What is 10 to the power of 21?

Li Nuo counted the number carefully on his fingers.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions...

It's too spicy to count.

Even if the production capacity of single crystals is increased to 100,000 or 1 million per day, it is not necessarily possible to cover such a large expense.

Guradil said:
“Witch Priest, Purple Sprout said that we should first use the dimensional pocket to put Planet Paru in, and then use the Heart of Fire to transfer the planet to the Web. She also said that we could consider completing the megalithization of Planet Paru first, removing the water from the planet, and then sealing it in the dimensional pocket. This would save more than 90% of the cost of single crystals.”

Li Nuo nodded and asked:
"Do we have any dimensional pockets in our warehouse?"

"Yes, I've already had Purple Sprout and the technicians start repairing it. It'll probably take another half month to finish. I calculated the total cost of using the Heart of Fire to terraform Planet Paru, and then using the Dimensional Pocket and the Heart of Fire to transfer the planet. It's a total of 1500 million tons of single crystals."

How many zeros are in 1500 million?

Li Nuo counted on his fingers: 1.5 million is 1500 * 10 to the power of 7, which is about three-quarters less than the previous expenses, so there is still hope.

After a moment's thought, Linuo made some adjustments to the existing production plan of the Palu warlords.

The monocrystalline mushroom farms in the network must continuously expand their production scale until the daily consumption of subspace biological materials exceeds their production capacity.

In the best-case scenario, Li Nuo hopes to relocate Planet Palu into the Netway within six months.

He was in such a hurry for two reasons:

One reason is that, for their own safety, they urgently need a stable and secluded shelter.

Another reason is that the conflict between the human empire and Chaos is escalating, and the flames of war may very well reach the solar system within a year.

In the two weeks since Forgrim was captured by Loka, the level of chaos and corruption within the Ulanor Orc Empire has increased dramatically.

Li Nuo has many orc save files in Ulanori.

Starting two weeks ago, he received daily system messages about a certain orc being corrupted by chaos, causing a significant increase in simulated prices.

Just yesterday, the last Orc save file in Ulanori was also corrupted by Chaos.

Conservative estimates suggest that Ulanno's level of corruption is likely over 90%.

The resulting negative impact plunged Apimatt, located in the solar system, into turmoil.

Orc fleets frequently visited the sub-sector where Apimatt was located.

A convoy of armed merchant ships transporting synthetic starch was horrified to find its destination engulfed in war and was forced to turn back.

All signs indicate that the front line of the war between the human empire and the chaos orcs is gradually approaching Apimatt.

Li Nuo planned to move Planet Palu into the network before the war reached them, and then bring the humans who were more important to him over there.

Of course, this must first respect their own wishes.

As for whether or not to send troops to help the human empire.

This matter cannot be handled impulsively, nor can emotions cloud one's judgment. Decisions must be made based on the reactions of all parties and one's own plans.

Two days ago, when Kron and Golden Corn were trading single crystals, Golden Corn conveyed the Emperor's message on their behalf.

The Emperor invited Kron to a meeting that would determine the future of the sub-universe.

The clown troupe from the Black Library was also invited.

After arranging the expansion of single crystal production capacity, Li Nuo switched his consciousness to Kron and went to the Netway City below the Golden Throne to attend this significant meeting.
