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

Chapter 7 Metaphysical Means
Later that same day.

Li Nuo stood up the bed in his residence and placed it against the wall, making room in the middle of the room.

The materials needed for the simulation were gathered and placed on the open space.

Insect repellent spices bought from roadside stalls are placed around the ingredients.

Light the incense and let the faint scent that repels poisonous insects float in the air.

Under the blue and white light of the promethium lamp, the room was filled with smoke and the light and shadows were hazy, adding a touch of mystery to the simple living room.

The scene looked like a ceremony, and Li Nuo, wearing clean clothes, looked like the host of the ceremony.

Okay, he admitted it.

In a different world where gods exist, he decides to try his hand at metaphysics.

The "ritual scene" before him was something he had tinkered with himself. It had no practical significance, and did not involve the subspace. It was just for psychological comfort.

Li Nuo stood right in front of the simulation material, his eyes slightly open, staring at the mine with a solemn expression.

“From the ravages of hunger, edible mushrooms save us.

"Penicillin cleanses us from the invasion of germs.

"Trichoderma polyporus saved us from organ transplant rejection.

"Beau bassiana protects us from crop damage by insect pests.

"Oxidative inhibitors protect us from the fight against biological control."

Li Nuo paused for half a second, opened the simulation interface with his mind, and gave instructions to the system while silently reciting "prayer".

“Touch the system interface once! Prepare alcohol-containing culture medium and nutrient solution, and isolate bacterial strains.

"Touch the system interface twice! Start cultivation and shine direct sunlight on the experimental samples!

"Touch the system interface three times! Spray fungicides and antibiotics to eliminate bacteria contamination and praise the mushroom farm!"

System messages refresh rapidly.

[On the first day, you use a culture medium and nutrient solution containing alcohol to grow bacteria. The light intensity is 400 lux. Regardless of whether there is contamination of bacteria observable to the naked eye, you will use fungicides and antibiotics on the samples once a day.]

[On the second day, half of the samples lost their activity, and the remaining half survived the ordeal.]

[On the sixth day, only a quarter of the samples survived, and the rest all lost their activity. The surviving samples showed fruiting bodies. You turn off the sunlight, increase the relative humidity of the air to 95%, and replenish water to the fruiting bodies on time.]

[On the seventh day, most of the surviving experimental samples are contaminated by bacteria. Fungicides and antibiotics are ineffective against them. You will isolate the contaminated cultivation bags. Fortunately, one sample is safe and sound and is thriving. ]

Only one specimen survived!
Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat and he held his breath involuntarily.

[On the tenth day, the only sample grew to a standard size. You picked it and obtained a mine without any bacteria contamination or toxicity.]

[Simulation ends. 】

[The simulation plan has been recorded. ]

【Congratulations on your successful cultivation. 】

[Do you want to consume all materials required for the simulation and obtain 1 tamed mine? ]

"Fuck, it really worked?!"

incredible!

Li Nuo rubbed his eyes and looked at the system interface again.

Yes!

It did work!
Li Nuo was shaking with excitement and repeatedly checked the simulation process as if he was witnessing a great miracle.

As a professional, he was well aware of how outrageous this simulation process was, which could be described as completely unorthodox.

Alcohol can denature the proteins of bacteria and fungi, thereby killing and disinfecting them.

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can damage the DNA structure of microorganisms, thereby killing bacteria and fungi or inhibiting their growth.

Alcohol and ultraviolet rays work together to kill bacteria and fungi indiscriminately, and the hyphae of mines are also on the kill list.

This is not over yet.

In this simulation, Li Nuo specifically asked the system to apply bactericides and antibiotics to the samples every day.

Various methods were used at the same time, and even humans could not bear it, but one sample withstood the ravages of alcohol and ultraviolet rays, and survived the torture of disinfectants, antibiotics and miscellaneous bacteria, becoming the only survivor.

Oh my god, this is amazing. Is the surviving sample cheating?
Li Nuo felt that his common sense was being shattered by the fungi of the Warhammer world.

As expected of the Warhammer world, the fungi here are very durable.

However, now is not the time to pop champagne and express emotion, there is still a lot to do.

Li Nuo held his violently heaving chest and forced himself to calm down.

"I confirm that I have consumed the simulation materials and obtained the simulation results."

Most of the material on the floor disappeared.

【Fungus warehouse updated.】

[1 new tamed mine added.] Li Nuo pointed to the materials on the ground that had not been consumed by the system and ordered:

"Begin simulating the cultivation of domesticated mines. Collect the fungus and place them in different cultivation bags. This time, use a culture medium and nutrient solution without alcohol. The proportion of the ingredients is based on the formula I used when I first simulated the cultivation of mines."

【The cultivation object, culture medium and nutrient solution are set. 】

【Please set the simulation parameters. 】

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and thought quickly.

The tamed mines showed extraordinary resilience and were clearly resistant to ultraviolet rays.

In this case, try growing it in a lighted environment, you might get a surprise.

"Standard atmospheric pressure, room temperature 20 degrees, relative humidity 80%, light intensity 200 lux, proper ventilation."

【Simulation parameters are set.】

【Start simulation.】

[On the first day, you completed the sowing. ]

【...】

[On the third day, the fungus grew to a standard size. You picked them and obtained 15 domesticated mines.]

[The simulation plan has been recorded. ]

[Does it consume materials to obtain simulation results? ]

Harvest in three days!

This growth rate would scare my mentor to death.

Li Nuo gave a thumbs up to the panel, approving the growth rate of the mines.

“Confirm consumable materials and obtain simulation results.”

【Fungus warehouse updated.】

【Added 15 tamed mines.】

Li Nuo raised his hand and took out a mine with his mind.

A round white sphere appeared in his hand, about seven centimeters in diameter.

Li Nuo pinched it slightly and felt its obvious elasticity. The smooth touch from his fingertips was very similar to white fungus.

After a careful inspection, he was quite satisfied with the new appearance of the mine.

Wild sea mines are black and do not look good.

The tamed mines are white and clean, just like peeled boiled eggs, and they are very beautiful.

I just don’t know if the water storage capacity has been weakened due to domestication.

“Analyzing fungi.”

[Name: Tamed Mine]

【Analysis results:】

[A unique fungus organism, free of bacterial contamination and toxicity, feeds on pure water, protein and air, and its main metabolite is carbon dioxide. ]

[The colloid on its surface is extremely hydrophilic. The diaphragm inside the colloid can prevent water evaporation, isolate bacteria and toxic substances, and thus achieve long-term storage of pure water. ]

awesome.

The water storage capacity of the white mine has not decreased, and it can be used as a container for long-term storage of pure water.

It was worth it that I spent nearly a hundred ration cards to buy various materials.

Li Nuo squeezed the mine in his hand hard.

Pure water squeezed out and flowed through the fingers.

Li Nuo caught the water with his mouth.

The water is pure and clear, and its taste is comparable to nectar, which makes people feel addicted.

Good, good, very good. My water problem is finally solved. The probability of getting sick has been greatly reduced!
Li Nuo squeezed out all the pure water from the mine and drank it happily.

The mines were squeezed clean and shrunk to the size of glass marbles.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and decided to give it a new name.

"The name Shuilei sounds loud but is not elegant enough. From today on, you will be called Shuiqiu bacteria."

【The fungus panel has been updated.】

Li Nuo looked around, his eyes swept over the rising smoke, his face full of smiles.

Praise mycology, praise the [Mushroom Farm] system~
Once we get the luminous fungus brought by Leia, we can start to solve the lighting problem.

Let’s go to the cigarette factory now to check out the situation. I wonder what the selection exam will include.
