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

Chapter 56 Psychic Fungus
Once you enter the fungus world, cat girls are no longer a part of your life.

Ever since he started studying applied mycology, the thing that excites Li Nuo the most is no longer cat-eared beast girls.

There are, and only new and strange fungi that he has never seen before that will make his heart beat uncontrollably.

It was precisely because of his fascination with the complex and diverse microorganisms that he chose to embark on the path of studying fungi.

What appeared before his eyes at this moment was a kind of fungus that he had imagined many times before.

[Name: Unknown Psychic Fungus]

【Analysis results:】

[A strange psychic creation, possessing the properties of being salt-loving and sulfur-loving, can efficiently complete the desalination and desulfurization of promethium ore at normal temperature and pressure.]

[It consumes salt and sulfide and spits out concentrated brine, elemental sulfur, or sulfate, which can be easily recycled.]

[Bacteria ability: salt absorption, sulfur absorption. ]

[This fungus has been domesticated. The unlocking requirement for both fungal abilities is 1 skill point. ]

[Please note that the growth and reproduction of psychic fungi depends on subspace energy. The system's simulated space cannot provide subspace energy for the time being. You can only cultivate this fungus in the outside world for the time being.]

[After upgrading the fungal simulation function using a device that generates subspace energy, the system can provide subspace energy during the simulation. 】

Psychic fungi have special requirements for growth, so don't worry about it for now.

Li Nuo's focus at this time was on the uses of psychic fungi.

Promethium ore is very similar to oil in the world before the time travel.

Before refining it, it needs to be desalted and desulfurized.

Desalination is to prevent pipes and storage tanks from being corroded by salt and to reduce pipe blockage caused by scaling.

Desulfurization can improve combustion performance and reduce the pollution caused by the combustion of promethium refining products.

Public information from the promethium refinery shows that the desalination and desulfurization technology used in the old plant consumes a lot of water and electricity, which is very costly.

After Princeton became manager, he built a new plant and adopted new refining technology, cutting costs by nearly one-third.

His new technology was kept secret and the agents were unable to obtain information about it.

However, judging from the psychic fungi in front of us, the mystery has been solved.

Biological desalination and desulfurization are notoriously cost-effective but inefficient.

However, the words "normal temperature and pressure" and "high efficiency" appeared in the analysis results.

This shows that the unknown psychic fungus is already comparable to the desalination and desulfurization processes commonly used in refineries.

However, the appearance of psychic fungi in the promethium refinery is really strange. Shouldn't marine fungi be used for biological desalination and desulfurization?

Oh, by the way, this planet no longer has oceans...

Li Nuo's mind raced as he squatted down and pressed his waist with his fingertips.

"Click."

The secret compartment hidden in the armor opened, and a sampler with a glass tube popped out.

The sampler looks similar to a syringe gun and can extract liquid and powder samples by pressing a switch.

Li Nuo extracted the substance containing psychic fungi from the black mucus, and said to his companion beside him:

"Mona, I suspect this glowing substance is a microorganism. Princeton uses it to pre-treat the promethium ore, so it flows out from the drain of the desalination area."

"Microorganisms? You also know about the promethium refining process?"

"I know a little bit. I have a friend who works in this field. He talked to me about using microorganisms to desalinate and desulfurize."

Li Nuo made up an excuse to get away with it.

Mona nodded, not quite understanding.

As a woman who likes to use knives and guns, she prefers to put bullets into the enemy's head rather than delve into obscure scientific knowledge.

Whatever Li Nuo says is fine.

Anyway, they will be given to Father Tutkari for study later, and then we will know what materials these glowing little spots are.

Li Nuo collected the samples and pointed to the water outlet above:

"Let's go in." "Okay, I'll lead the way." Mona activated her magnetic boots, stepped on the vertical metal wall, and stepped into the water outlet.

Li Nuo followed closely behind and crawled into the pipe where the mucus was flowing. He also collected some psychic fungi into the fungal warehouse for future use.

After walking for a distance, a grille appeared across the road, blocking their way.

Li Nuo and Meng Na pulled out the multifunctional precision daggers on their backs, switched them to heavy-duty scissors mode, and in a few strokes they cut a hole large enough for a person to pass through.

The pipes in the front switch from running horizontally to vertically.

The two used magnetic boots to reach the end of the vertical pipe. Above their heads was another grille and another horizontally extending pipe.

Cut the grille and keep going.

Ten minutes later, they successfully entered the desalination area.

Tall metal tanks are arranged neatly, and winding pipes are connected to the tanks and crisscrossed like the blood vessels of a refinery. Numerous instruments and valves are dotted on the pipes.

The lighting here is dim, with only the night lights providing a faint illumination, and no one can be seen on night patrol for the time being.

Li Nuo glanced at the nearby dashboard and nodded secretly.

His guess was confirmed, and the desalination area was indeed carrying out large-scale biological desulfurization and desalination projects.

This is proven by the “bacteria concentration” on the dashboard, which is an indicator that is not often noticed in ordinary desalination areas.

"You scan for personnel, surveillance, and terrain. I'll track Princeton's communications."

Mona whispered in the internal communication channel of the two-person team.

Li Nuo nodded in response, took off the auspicious device from his leg, and pressed the scan button.

Invisible wide-band electromagnetic waves quickly swept across the entire desalination area, and the terrain data collected by the auspicious instrument was transmitted to the holographic goggles in real time.

A virtual image created by holographic goggles appeared in Li Nuo's field of vision.

"Mona, the surveillance routes and patrol personnel scans are complete. There are seven humanoid creatures here. Vital signs show that they have undergone a certain degree of enhanced transformation and are not psykers. I am collecting weapons data."

Li Nuo waited for a few seconds, and the auspicious instrument sent back a response, the content of which made him frown slightly:

"Those seven men were equipped with high-powered laser rifles and plasteel armor. They didn't look like ordinary factory security personnel. They haven't noticed us yet. Also, I think there's something wrong with their positioning..."

Li Nuo pressed a few times on the auspicious instrument and transmitted the collected coordinate data to Meng Na, then said:

"These seven people did not guard the road between the desalination area and the outside world, but focused on protecting the gate leading to the conversion area from the desalination area. Could it be that Princeton is in the conversion area?"

Mona nodded slightly:

"That's possible. The communication signal I detected here points to our west. The transformation zone is in that direction. I'll contact the other teams and use triangulation to determine the target's location. You stay alert."

"Got it." Li Nuo held the auspicious instrument in one hand and placed his other hand on the grip of the laser rifle, looking around vigilantly.

Princeton blurred his own communications.

After the agents entered the factory, they narrowed the scanning range of the auspicious device and improved its scanning accuracy, and then used the three-point positioning method to lock onto Princeton's communication signal.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, Princeton's and his own data pads are located in two different locations.

The communication signal sent by the data board was just a smoke screen, and Princeton himself had already escaped from the refinery.

This possibility does exist, but it does not prevent the agents from finding Princeton's data pad first and then discussing the next step.

"Beep beep beep..."

The armor's sensors sounded alarms in Li Nuo and Mona's ears.

The two men grasped their laser rifles at the same time and entered combat mode with their backs against each other.

Holographic goggles mark nearby enemies immediately.

The scarlet mark pierced Li Nuo's vision like a nail.

The moment he saw the enemy clearly, a noun popped into his memory.

Hydrothermal.

But the question is, why are these hydrothermal fluids a little green?
