I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#102 - Orc technology, shocking

The farce at the manor's main entrance did not affect the auction.

Half an hour later, Delton and a bodyguard of Voges returned to the scene.

The two had just returned from Voges' father, Jiaming Voges.

Jiaming, upon hearing that his son had done something so damaging to the family's reputation, was furious and grabbed his sword to hack at him.

Fortunately, Delton and the governor's bodyguard reacted quickly enough to prevent the tragedy of father and son killing each other.

Back at the banquet, the governor's bodyguard continued to protect the governor, while Delton activated encrypted communication.

"Conwen, report the situation on the ground."

"Sir, half an hour ago, the three illegal merchants left the scene.

They were blocked by more than a dozen transport vehicles at the manor entrance.

It seemed to be a capture operation, but unfortunately, it failed."

"Oh, I know about that, I forgot to tell you before.

Squad 7 was ordered by the Governor to capture suspicious targets… Wait, what did you say?

The capture failed?"

Delton paused slightly in the corridor, then returned to normal, continuing to play the role of a merchant from Terra.

"Yes, sir.

The three of them are psykers, and they used a kind of psychic power that made them disappear like bubbles.

Using this psychic power, they slipped away from the encirclement of Squad 7."

"What a bunch of…" Delton forcibly restrained the urge to complain:

"I see, Conwen.

Your mission for today is over.

For the next three days, you will be on standby at the banquet.

Without explicit instructions, you can move freely in disguise, but don't leave the banquet area."

"Yes, sir."

The communication ended.

Delton took out the data pad and sent a message to the Governor, asking if he needed Delton to participate in the search for the three illegal merchants.

Voges' reply came quickly, asking Delton to come to the reception room for a face-to-face meeting.

Entering the reception room again, the Governor's daughter, Tido, had already left, and only Voges and a fierce-looking man were inside.

This man had high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a gaze as sharp as an eagle, making people shudder in both appearance and temperament.

Most exaggerated was the extent of his mechanical modification; blocky metal and thick black cables constituted his "muscles" and "blood vessels," making him look like a mechanical Tyrannosaurus.

This man was called Chekhov, the head of the 8th Governor's Guard.

Before being transferred to the 8th Guard, Chekhov was the head of the 9th Guard—the Governor's special agents.

As soon as Delton and Chekhov met, the atmosphere between them became subtle.

"Delton, I heard the Governor say that you've been doing well since you took over my special agent team."

Chekhov abandoned his nose and mouth, switching to a respirator and fluid feeder.

Correspondingly, his way of speaking also changed from vocal cord pronunciation to the electronic synthesized sound of a sonic array device.

Delton remained calm in the face of Chekhov's loaded words.

He never looked at this humanoid mechanical creature from beginning to end, as if the electronic muscle bundles and high-horsepower mechanical transmissions on his body were just a pile of garbage that could be crushed at any time.

"Lord Governor, I'm here, please give your orders."

Delton bowed slightly in front of Voges.

Chekhov regarded his deliberate neglect as humiliation.

"Didn't you hear me talking to you…" Chekhov's electronic synthesized voice became noisy.

"Alright, Chekhov, go down and complete the task I gave you, and let me talk to Delton for a while," Voges said softly, patting the steel humanoid's arm to appease him.

"Yes, sir." Chekhov grunted at Delton, turned to bow to Voges, and left the reception room with the sound of his hydraulic spine operating.

"Don't mind him, Delton, Chekhov has always been like this since he was a child," Voges lit his pipe and sat back in his chair.

Delton asked:

"Sir, do you need me to bring people back to chase down those three illegal merchants?"

Voges waved his hand, exhaling a puff of smoke:

"Forget it, it's too late.

Before you came back, the spaceport sent a message that a freighter had left the port ahead of schedule.

Those three bastards are probably on that ship.

I have another thing I want to entrust to you."

Voges leaned back in his chair, a cold expression on his face:

"Squad 7 screwed things up.

These guys have been living comfortably in the upper hive for too long.

I knew they were rotten, but I didn't expect them to be so rotten.

Delton, from today onwards, everyone in Squad 7 will become your trainee agents; drive them to death for me.

Within half a year, I want to see results, and let all the unqualified scum die."

"Yes, sir, I will do my best to reshape the glory of Squad 7."

Delton prepared to take his leave.

But Voges didn't let him go, but instead told him to sit down.

"Tell me about that kid named Lino."

"Alright, sir, I have all of his action records here, most of which are very detailed, except for Lino's action records in the lower hive, which are relatively few."

Delton clicked on the data sheet and retrieved Lino's database information.

Voges asked:

"Why are the action records in the lower hive fewer than in other places?"

"Sir, the heretical behavior of the Reconciliation Sect damaged the sensors.

Since Master Osges led the team into the Reconciliation Sect's headquarters, the recording devices on the agents have been scrapped.

Lino's action records in the lower hive are limited to those before he entered the Reconciliation Sect's headquarters."

Delton thought for a moment and added:

"However, the sensors on Hunter Duke have not been damaged by the heretical behavior of the Reconciliation Sect.

You may be able to obtain action records related to Lino from them."

"Okay, I see, first introduce the information you have on hand."

"Yes, sir."

The two exchanged information about Lino in the reception room.

As the core topic of this secret investigation, Lino himself was unaware of it.

He was watching the ugliness at the auction with great interest, watching the merchants from all over the empire blush and argue over the ghost mushrooms.

In Lino's view, the ghost mushrooms they bought were a kind of inferior product, far inferior to the green ghost mushrooms cultivated by Squigg.

In the future, when he becomes bigger and stronger in the orc community, he will open up a trade route between the orcs and the human empire.

The ghost potion made from green ghost mushrooms can be repackaged, and then a little pigment and interference factors to prevent reverse cracking can be added, and then sold to the human empire.

At that time, throne coins and the like will be greatly available.

Uh… Is it a bit strange for orcs to collect throne coins for selling things?

Okay, let's not discuss the issue of trade currency for the time being, and first gain a foothold in the orc community.

Lino clicked on the system interface and looked at the message record of the Waaagh simulation.

[Simulated Character Archive]

[Archive 1: Mad Doc - Sakk]

[Archive Brief:]

[In the past 7 days, Mad Doc Sakk has worked diligently, producing a total of 21 bottles of Sharp Eye Potion and 21 Magic Spores.]

[The Sharp Eye Potion has been handed over to Iron, the leader of the Steel Teef clan, resulting in a group of sure-shot Dakka Wagon Boyz in the clan.

The clan's pinpoint killing ability has been significantly improved.]

[The 21 Magic Spores have been stored in the safe you designated, waiting for you to collect them.]

[According to reliable sources, in 5 days, the Steel Teef clan will launch a full-scale offensive against the Red Eye clan.

Please pay attention to the battle situation to avoid the death of Mad Doc.]

The Waaagh simulation has played out the taste of a farming game, with a bit of the pleasure of promoting the development of the orc clan.

Lino was extremely satisfied with this experience, as if he was playing a simulation management game with green-skinned orcs as the theme.

The banquet will end in 3 days, and then after another 2 days, the orc clan war will break out.

He must "log in" on time, personally control Mad Doc to kill wildly, and help the Steel Teef clan take the territory of the Red Eye clan in one fell swoop.

Lino clicked on the second archive in his imagination.

[Archive 2: Mek Boy - Guga]

[Archive Status:]

[In the past 7 days, Guga has been repairing pirate ships.

At this time today, the ships have just been repaired.]

[The orc pirate boss, Big Black Teef, is not satisfied with the last raid and is searching for the next raid target.]

Guga, Mek Boy, Mechanical Witchcraft.

Lino stared at the archive interface, pondering to himself.

Using mechanical witchcraft on the water purification plant in the lower hive to create an automatic production line for cultivating water ball fungi and purifying water bodies to increase the water purification capacity of the water purification plant.

This matter is related to the expansion of the manor and must be resolved as soon as possible.

Lino looked around, stood up, and walked to the lounge.

Since the commander allowed him to slack off, he would slack off to his heart's content.

Take advantage of these three days of doing nothing at the banquet to unlock some more mechanical witchcraft.

Arriving at the single lounge, locking the door, and drawing the curtains.

Lino lay down on the sofa, found a comfortable position, took out 1 Magic Spore and put it in his mouth, and selected the archive of Mek Boy - Guga.

Consciousness left the body and traveled through the sea of stars.

Before long, three wasteland-style orc ships appeared in front of him.

Lino's consciousness entered the first ship and drilled into Guga's body.

[Character archive read successfully, you have possessed Tech Boy - Guga.]

Opening his eyes, the clanging power hammer struck the iron ingot, the strong smell of oil penetrated his nose, and the stinky gretchin passed by his feet.

Several specimens made from the skulls of Eldar pirates hung from the rafters, serving as decorations for this Ork workshop.

Li Nuo reviewed Gujia's recent memories.

Gujia's superior, the Ork Mek Boss, was building new macro cannons on another ship.

In this workshop, the one with the highest status is us.

Li Nuo raised his foot and kicked the grot's butt.

"Help me get a tank of water."

The grot rubbed the place where he was kicked, not annoyed at all, but instead revealed a mouthful of big yellow teeth and smiled obsequiously:

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

The instinct of a technician told Li Nuo that this grot had ulterior motives.

Li Nuo kicked him again:

"I want clean water, don't let me see your snot and poo in the water, or you'll be sorry."

The grot's expression immediately collapsed, like a child whose prank had been exposed.

Li Nuo didn't fall for it, kicked him away, and turned to walk to his own workshop.

Passing by the workbench and shelves, he took all the things he might need, such as pipes, sinks, and funnels.

A moment later, four grots, like black men carrying a coffin, carried a water tank into the workshop.

The water in the tank was covered with a thick layer of oil stains, emitting a complex smell, dirtier than the sewage used for mopping the floor.

In the eyes of humans, even the denizens of the underhive wouldn't dare use this water.

But on the ships of Ork pirates, this water quality was already the clearest and cleanest, and only Orks with higher status could enjoy it.

The vast majority of Ork boyz and grots could only quench their thirst with their own liquid excrement and the coolant from the ship's engines.

"Get out, get out."

Li Nuo kicked four times in a row, kicking the grots out and closing the iron door of the workshop.

Strange cries came from outside the door.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"That kick was powerful enough!"

"I've never been kicked so comfortably!"

Ah, so the grots' brains are so weird?

Are they all masochists?

The harder they are kicked, the more comfortable they actually feel.

Li Nuo didn't understand, but expressed respect.

Enough idle talk, let's start thinking.

Li Nuo took out the water ball fungus and placed it in front of him with the sewage and water pipes, activating his "I think" power.

System messages arrived as expected.

【Searching the Tech-boy's gene knowledge base for a mechanical witchcraft that can solve the problem.】

【…】

【Search complete.】

【Search result: 1 item.】

【Details are as follows:】

【Name: Water Ball Fungus Bioreactor Blueprint.】

【Learning cost: 5 skill points.】

【Description:】

【Consume universal psychic materials and necessary physical raw materials to build a bioreactor that meets the growth and development needs of water ball fungus.】

【The reaction unit of this reactor is the mycelium of the water ball fungus, the reaction catalyst is non-radioactive sewage, and the filtration unit is ordinary filter materials, such as quartz sand, activated carbon, filter cloth, etc.】

【The water produced by the reactor is comparable to the irrigation water of the manor.】

【Remaining simulation points: 1180 points.】

The learning cost is 5 skill points, which is within my acceptable range.

Li Nuo spent 50 points to exchange for 5 skill points and exchanged for the bioreactor's production blueprint.

Along with the mysterious witchcraft knowledge emerging in his mind, Li Nuo's hands started moving.

The thick Ork fingers became as flexible as swimming snakes at this moment, each step presenting just the right strength and angle.

The mycelium of the water ball fungus was cut off with a knife and neatly arranged on the metal strips.

Don't underestimate the water purification ability of these mycelia.

They look soft, thin, and small, but they actually have an amazing specific surface area.

Their structure is like a dense net.

If you take out one of them alone and unfold it along its structural texture, it is enough to form a 10x10x10 cm biological filter net.

This network structure is only the first layer of filtration effect of the water ball fungus.

During the growth and development process, it secretes enzymes that degrade organic pollutants and substances with flocculating properties.

The bioreactor maximizes the use of the mycelium structure, enzymes, and flocculating substances of the water ball fungus.

When running, the efficiency of this reactor exceeds Li Nuo's imagination.

The water purification plant he built himself needs to first let the sewage settle to remove larger particles before using water ball fungus to purify the water.

But the bioreactor doesn't have this trouble.

As long as it is non-radioactive sewage, it can be directly poured into the reactor.

After energizing the bioreactor, the mycelium of the water ball fungus will "work" with high intensity under the effect of "electrotherapy".

The bioreactor will continuously discharge irrigation water and some solid pollutants that are difficult for the water ball fungus to degrade.

After some calculations, Li Nuo determined that the working efficiency of the bioreactor is twice the existing efficiency of the water purification plant.

After replacing the existing water purification facilities with bioreactors, the amount of purified water will soar to 60,000 cubic meters per day, which is 10,000 more than the manor's daily consumption.

Ork technology, shocking!

Technology changes destiny, technology creates value!

Li Nuo directly felt the profound meaning of these words for the first time.

"I think, what I lack most now is the ability to protect myself. The powerful enemies I encountered all have psychic shields. I want one too!"

Li Nuo pushed the finished bioreactor aside, took a lot of parts from outside again, and activated a new thought.

【Searching the Tech-boy's gene knowledge base for a mechanical witchcraft that can strengthen self-protection ability.】

【…】

【Search complete.】

【Search result: 55 items.】

【After removing the mechanical witchcraft that cannot take effect due to insufficient universal material limits, there is still 1 search result left.】

【Details are as follows:】

【Name: Miniature Scrap Shield Generator.】

【Learning cost: 50 skill points.】

【Description:】

【Consume universal psychic materials and necessary physical raw materials to create a shield generator that uses scrap as energy.】

【This generator uses a safe cold fusion reaction to convert scrap into energy.】

【The energy will be projected onto a narrow arc surface, forming an energy barrier to resist attacks from specific directions.】

【This device can automatically react to attacks and adjust the defense angle in real time.】

【When facing energy attacks, the shield will cancel it out.】

【When facing physical attacks, the shield will deflect it.】

【Please note that this shield cannot withstand mental attacks and attacks launched from the warp.】

50 skill points?

A piece of cake.

Exchange!

Learn!

Make!

Finished!

The appearance of the shield generator is similar to the arc reactor on Iron Man's chest, and it can be embedded in a belt for carrying around.

The appearance of this thing is unique and has a wasteland atmosphere. The metal shell on the surface is pitted, the screws are uneven, and the gears are somewhat loose, rattling when shaken.

If you find brand new materials to make it in the future, the appearance of the shield generator will probably change.

Of course, appearance is never the focus of Ork technology.

The real focus is that such a thing that looks like it will fall apart at any time integrates a cold fusion reactor and a shield projector.

It's simply incredible.

Li Nuo grabbed a handful of rusty iron nails, stuffed them into the generator's feed port, pressed the switch, and manually activated the shield.

The shield generator shook for a while, spewing out a wisp of faint black smoke.

"Buzz—"

The electrophoretic sound was soul-stirring, and a layer of energy barrier appeared in front of Li Nuo, with an area of about three square meters, which could block attacks from a 60-degree angle from the front.

Another handful of iron nails was stuffed into the generator, and the energy barrier expanded to both sides, reaching an area of six square meters, which could defend against a 120-degree angle of attack.

After continuously stuffing in several handfuls of iron nails, the barrier successfully formed an encirclement, protecting Li Nuo in it.

The data from the appraisal technique showed that the spherical barrier lasts for a maximum of 1 minute when not under attack.

Assuming a bolter is fired at you, the shield's duration will drop from 1 minute to about 10 seconds.

The stronger the attack, the shorter the shield's duration, but fortunately, the time can be extended by constantly filling scrap.

The so-called scrap refers to all raw materials with a physical form.

In the Tech-boy's workshop, the coolest, most awesome, and most suitable scrap for the scrap shield generator is a radiation concentrate.

Only a fingernail-sized thing of this kind is needed to keep the shield generator working for 1 hour.

However, I think it's better to forget it. Ordinary scrap is much safer than radiation concentrate.

Li Nuo held the shield generator and couldn't put it down.

From now on, he is also someone with a "psychic shield".

Judging from the time, the banquet is about to end.

Li Nuo didn't dare to delay and "went offline" on the spot.
