I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

【Successful identification.】

【Name: Subspace Energy Single Crystal.】

【Description:】

【In a distant era, the War in Heaven between the Old Ones and the Star Gods caused too many casualties. The resulting intense emotional shifts stirred up terrifying waves in the subspace.】

【Catalyzed by 'emotion,' the 'consciousness' of the material universe transformed subspace energy into subspace lifeforms, with the evil subspace creatures being labeled 'Chaos.'】

【Over the long river of time, the power of 'Chaos' gradually corrupted the entire subspace, causing every wisp of subspace energy to possess a corrupting characteristic that leads to depravity.】

【But don't forget the crucial point: although subspace energy is born from 'emotion' and 'consciousness,' and can be manipulated and transformed by them, the energy itself has no 'emotion' or 'consciousness.'】

【When we purify existing subspace energy, removing the 'emotion' and 'consciousness' within, retaining only the purest subspace energy, we obtain crystallized subspace energy, known as spirit bone.】

【Further purifying spirit bone yields a product that is harder, less easily swayed by 'emotion,' and completely immune to the influence of Chaos: a subspace energy single crystal.】

As a graduate student majoring in applied mycology, Li Nuo also had some understanding of the 'single crystal' mentioned in the system information.

Simply put, a single crystal refers to a solid state in which the molecules (atoms or ions) contained in a sample are arranged regularly in three-dimensional space.

Just like the holographic image in front of him, this is a microscopic structure of a single crystal.

Highly ordered, periodically arranged and combined, like an ancient infantry phalanx.

In his life before the transmigration, a relatively common single crystal was diamond, formed by carbon atoms under high temperature and pressure, possessing extremely high hardness.

In the fungal kingdom, many fungi can produce single crystals.

For example, the calcium oxalate crystals produced on the hyphae of fungi in the Nidulariaceae family.

Most people would find the name calcium oxalate crystals unfamiliar, but as soon as you mention that one of the main components of kidney stones is calcium oxalate crystals, everyone will suddenly understand.

Faced with the single crystal appearing in the simulated experiment, Li Nuo only wanted to repeat what he had repeated many times before:

The Warhammer world is truly messed up.

Energy can actually be purified by fungi and turned into a single crystal with a physical form.

If this kind of thing were placed before the transmigration, it would win at least fifteen or sixteen Nobel Prizes.

What's even more outrageous is, what virtue or ability does a small fungus have to turn energy into a single crystal.

Whose fierce general is this?

Li Nuo aimed the analysis fungus at the colony on the sample, raising his eyebrows.

So it's a fierce general of the Old Ones, no wonder it's so awesome, this makes sense.

【Name: Ancient Crystal Fungus (Partial Reversion).】

【Type: Old One Creation.】

【Analysis Result:】

【Affected by cosmic rays, culture medium, and other factors, the spirit energy fungus, which could only be used for desalination and desulfurization in the past, has mutated.】

【Its mutation direction is partial reversion, thus exhibiting some effects of the Ancient Crystal Fungus.】

【When physical nutrients are present, this fungus feeds on the impurities in the nutrients, decomposing the impurities during metabolism, increasing the purity of the main components in the nutrients, forming single crystals or polycrystals.】

【When physical nutrients are absent, this fungus absorbs subspace energy, decomposing the 'emotion' and 'consciousness' within, increasing the purity of the subspace energy, producing subspace energy single crystals without 'emotion' or 'consciousness.'】

【This fungus can absorb subspace energy from spirit bone, and also from subspace. When directly absorbing energy from subspace, the growth efficiency and single crystal yield are extremely low.】

Very good, very good, very good.

Spirit bone and subspace energy single crystals cannot be stored in the fungus warehouse, but the Ancient Crystal Fungus can, right?

Li Nuo selected the colony and silently recited 'Settle.'

In the next second, the spirit bone in his pocket shrank by more than half.

At the same time, the fungus warehouse contained colonies of Ancient Crystal Fungus, as well as some white 'sand,' which was subspace energy with a single crystal structure.

Subspace energy single crystals are not a direct product of fungus and fungus.

It can only be temporarily stored in the fungus warehouse. Li Nuo can take it out, but cannot put it back in, or use it as an experimental subject for fungus simulation.

This restriction is a bit inconvenient, but in any case, he has found a temporary way to store subspace energy in the fungus warehouse, which is better than nothing.

The life form of the Ancient Crystal Fungus is similar to 'yeast,' and it will not grow a fruiting body like a mushroom.

Based on this characteristic, Li Nuo conceived a cultivation plan.

He opened the system interface and started the second simulation.

This simulation was still conducted in the material universe, but in terms of container selection, Li Nuo used sterile tools from within the system.

【Day 1: In the space environment and the force field created by the air stick, you used space-purified fungus and sterile water to make a fungal suspension, and applied it to a sterile substrate.】

【You made 1 sample.】

【You did not provide the sample with nutrient solution, wanting to see if it could autonomously absorb subspace energy as nourishment for growth.】

【Day 3: Colonies proliferate from the sample, and single crystal structures of subspace energy appear at the edges of the colonies.】

【You collect the single crystals. The sample provided you with a total of 100 grams of single crystals.】

According to Li Nuo's observation, during the simulation process, the ratio of the simulation time flow rate to the material universe time flow rate is 10,000 days to 1 hour.

Spending 1 hour in reality is equivalent to 10,000 simulated days in the simulation process.

This ratio of time flow rate will change somewhat due to simulation parameters, but generally remains at a level of 1 hour in reality equals 10,000 days in simulation.

Li Nuo patiently waited for an hour, wanting to see if there was a linear relationship between colony size and single crystal yield.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred during the simulation process.

【Day 6789: Red, blue, purple, pink, green, and other lights appear around the sample, the subspace energy becomes strange, as if countless voices are murmuring and whispering around the sample.】

【The four Great Enemies of Chaos have noticed the existence of the sample, and they are corrupting it.】

【The sample mutates, and all of its reversion phenomena disappear.】

【The Ancient Crystal Fungus (Partial Reversion) has completely degenerated into a fungus that can only desalinate and desulfurize.】

【At the moment of degeneration, all the single crystals you failed to collect in time were corrupted. They turned into subspace energy carrying the will of Chaos and returned to subspace.】

【Please rest assured. The above process occurred in the simulation process, and the Great Enemies of Chaos did not really notice your existence.】

【Simulation ended.】

Day 6789, the Great Enemies of Chaos all arrived!

The gold content of the holy numbers in the trenches is still rising!

Li Nuo flipped back through the simulation information and discovered a chilling pattern.

When any one or more of the four numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9 appear in the simulated days, the single crystal yield on that day is likely to decrease.

The more holy numbers that appear on the same day, the greater the possibility of a decrease in yield, and the more obvious the decrease.

Li Nuo previously thought this was a normal metabolic reaction.

Now it seems that it is most likely the Great Enemies of Chaos playing tricks behind the scenes.

The safest plan at present is to simulate until the 5th day and then settle, and then start a new round of simulation.

This will avoid the holy numbers from appearing in the simulated days.

In addition, Li Nuo suspects that the Great Enemies of Chaos are targeting the experimental sample 【because the simulation experiment is being conducted in the material universe】.

If the simulation process could be moved to the simulation space, then there would definitely be no problem of the sample being corrupted, as many previous simulation cases have proven.

He needs to find a device that generates subspace energy to upgrade the system.

After the upgrade is complete, the simulation space will stably produce subspace energy, and those fungi that feed on subspace energy can be simulated in the simulation space without being placed in the material universe for simulation.

What kind of device can generate subspace energy?

Li Nuo subconsciously began to ponder.

As he pondered, the system reacted.

【Searching the Tech-Priest's gene knowledge base for mechanical witchcraft that generates subspace energy.】

【…】

The system message made Li Nuo's heart beat faster.

If there are really things like subspace energy generator blueprints in the Tech-Priest's gene knowledge base, then he would make a fortune.

Unfortunately, this wishful thinking was destined to fail.

【Search completed.】

【Search result: 0 items.】

A white excitement.

Li Nuo felt a little egg-ache, but found that the system message did not stop refreshing.

New text content emerged.

【System prompt:】

【Subspace energy single crystals are temporarily stored in the fungus warehouse.】

【This item is not a fungus and cannot be used as an experimental subject to start fungus simulation.】

【However, this item can be used as a consumable in fungus simulation, such as providing nutrients for fungi.】

Eh!?

That's right!

I have already stored subspace energy in the warehouse, there is no need to find a device that can produce subspace energy to upgrade the system!

Li Nuo suddenly came around.

It has to be said that the system's prompt came in a timely manner.

The Ancient Crystal Fungus is, in a sense, a biological device that can generate subspace energy.

However, the way it generates subspace energy is by transporting energy from subspace and processing it into single crystals.

Having figured this out, Li Nuo felt that the future was bright.

Considering that producing single crystals easily attracts the attention of the Great Enemies of Chaos, Li Nuo made a decision in his heart:

Only use orc characters to produce single crystals.

In case the Great Enemies of Chaos come to his door, he only needs to 'go offline' on the spot to save his life without involving his main body.

Thinking this way, Li Nuo wasn't in a hurry to end the simulation. He simply tightened screws while controlling the system to automatically simulate, continuously producing subspace energy single crystals.

"Hey! You guys! Get over here!"

A noisy voice came from behind Li Nuo. The one who came was Big Black Tooth, the leader of the Orc pirate fleet.

This guy was wearing a black pirate hat, a black pirate captain's coat, and a delicate force field sword at his waist.

His two legs were mechanical prosthetics, painted bright red, increasing his height by at least one meter.

He came to the engineering platform and shouted loudly, summoning the Tech-Boss and the Tech-Lad to his presence.

Li Nuo followed the crowd, his eyes falling on the cart behind Big Black Tooth.

A dozen Grots pushed two carts of spirit bone over.

They were panting with exhaustion, secretly trying to slack off where Big Black Tooth couldn't see them, but they were discovered by the Grot slave master and received several lashes.

Big Black Tooth glared behind him, and the Grots were so frightened that they clamped their butt cheeks together, not daring to breathe loudly.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Once the Tech-Boss and the Tech-Lad were almost all there, Big Black Tooth shouted at the top of his lungs:

"I want to embed these shiny things into the new ship! Who has a good idea! As long as I'm satisfied, the rewards will be great!"

The Tech-Boss took a step forward, looked up at Big Black Tooth, who was much taller than him, and waved his arms, shouting:

"I have an idea! I can use a hammer to knock the shiny things into the shape the boss likes!"

What the Tech-Boss was talking about should be hammer forging.

The Tech-Lad's gene knowledge base had this mechanical witchcraft, and the Tech-Boss's gene knowledge base must have it as well.

Big Black Tooth pointed at the Tech-Boss:

"Tell me! How long will it take you to hammer out a sculpture as tall as me?"

The Tech-Boss counted on his fingers and replied:

"If the tick-tock calls sixty times, I can sculpt the statue well."

Tick-tock is the clock on the ship, hanging in the bridge of the first warship.

It was an atomic clock that was snatched from somewhere, and the time format used was Terra Time.

One tick-tock equals one Terra day, and sixty tick-tocks equals sixty days.

It would already be fast enough to create a life-size sculpture of Big Black Tooth in two months.

But Big Black Tooth didn't seem too satisfied.

"No! I said no! Too slow, too slow. I need a better, more Waaaagh idea!"

The Tech-Boss and the Tech-Lad racked their brains, trying their best to dig out a plan that the boss would like.

Orcs are simple-minded, and there is no such thing as workplace infighting.

Whoever can meet the boss's needs is more Waaaagh, and there is no situation where the Tech-Boss is overshadowed by the Tech-Lad, leading to conflicts.

The Tech-Lads chattered, each expressing their own views.

Spirit bone is light but too hard, and ordinary cutters can't do anything about it.

One Tech-Lad suggested using a macro cannon to blast the spirit bone into small pieces, which would save the effort of cutting.

The downside is that the size and shape of the fragments are difficult to control.

Another Tech-Lad said that the Grots could be tied to the spirit bone, and the ship's lance could be used to cut the spirit bone, with the Grots wearing jet space suits to push the spirit bone and adjust the cutting angle.

"Waaagh! That's a great idea! Tie me up quickly! I want the lance to give me a scrub!"

The Grots scrambled to squeeze onto the cart.

For these little guys, what could be more exciting than a big adventure.

Li Nuo glanced at the chattering crowd, raised his hand, and waved to Big Black Tooth, who was a little impatient:

"Boss! I have a way! I just learned a kind of Waaaagh!"

Big Black Tooth beckoned to Li Nuo:

"Come on! Boy! Let me see your Waaaagh."

Li Nuo separated the noisy crowd, squeezed to the front of the cart and stopped, casually picking up a piece of spirit bone.

Start, start, start, fungal simulation, start quickly!

Li Nuo quickly issued instructions in his mind, and at the same time took out a piece of sandpaper and rubbed the spirit bone with a scratchy sound.

The surrounding Orcs were attracted by his actions and stared at him with wide eyes.

At first, the Orcs thought it was just a farce, and Big Black Tooth would soon give this kid a hard kick in the butt.

But when the crystal-clear white powder slipped from under the sandpaper, the faces of the Tech-Boss and the Tech-Lads became wonderful, like melon-eating crowds watching a magic show.

"I think this guy is going to do something big~"

"How did he do it? I don't understand, how did he do it."

"I also have sandpaper, I want to try it too."

"Scratch, scratch, scratch, puff." The sandpaper was damaged due to excessive force, which made the Tech-Lad scream.

The Tech-Boss took out a few pieces of sandpaper and tried it, and found that he couldn't rub powder from the spirit bone, and couldn't help but yell:

"Damn! This guy is a genius! I think he will become the second Tech-Boss!"

Li Nuo continued to rub, rub, rub, rub hard, rub quickly.

The system kept simulating, simulating, simulating, using the spirit bone in Li Nuo's hand to cultivate ancient crystal fungi.

According to Li Nuo's instructions, the system let the ancient crystal fungi "bite" the spirit bone close to the inside of the sandpaper.

As soon as the simulation ended, Li Nuo immediately settled the accounts, took out the single crystal from the fungal warehouse and sprinkled it on the ground, and then started the next simulation.

The gold content of the holy number is beyond doubt.

The simulation days of a single simulation must never reach 6. This is the simulation parameter that Li Nuo set for the system, and it cannot be changed at all.

Inoculate on the 1st day of the simulation, collect, settle, and start a new simulation on the 5th day of the simulation. Under such repeated cycles, the spirit bone in the hand slowly becomes round.

Li Nuo handed the polished spirit bone to Big Black Tooth.

After seeing it, Big Black Tooth grinned, revealing a mouthful of dark teeth, and then drew out the force field sword at his waist and waved it out.

Li Nuo was startled, thinking that the other party was going to be unfavorable to him, but saw that the force field sword stopped on his shoulder.

This feeling... is it like a knight's knighting ceremony?

"Listen up, everyone! From today on, you... uh... what's your name?"

"Boss, my name is Gu Jia."

"Cough cough cough! Listen up, everyone! From today on, you, Gu Jia, will specialize in polishing shiny things for me! Carbunk! You are responsible for designing my sculpture, give the drawings to this kid, and let him polish the shiny things according to it!"

Carbunk is the name of the Tech-Boss.

"Okay! Boss! I know! I guarantee that the sculpture will be powerful and cool, and as Waaaagh as you!"

Carbunk took out animal skin and charcoal pencils, and quickly made blueprints, and soon arranged the work of building the sculpture.

Gu Jia, the Tech-Lad played by Li Nuo, is responsible for polishing smaller objects, and helps build new warships in his spare time.

Li Nuo estimated the time. He could help Gu Jia complete his daily polishing work by going online for about three to four hours each Terra day.

Very good, now I can legitimately come into contact with spirit bone.

In the future, I will use polishing spirit bone instead of sleeping at night, and work as usual during the day.

Wait?

Why do I feel like I have become a 24-hour-a-day workaholic?

...Okay, I'll be a workaholic if I have to, as long as I can get subspace energy single crystals.

While there was still some time before dinner, Li Nuo continued to polish the spirit bone, storing a lot of subspace energy single crystals.

Polishing spirit bone and hammering spirit bone can change the shape of spirit bone.

The former is extremely inefficient and cannot change the structure of the spirit bone. When making complex objects, you can only fumble around.

Hammering spirit bone is more complicated, but correspondingly, the structure and form of the finished product are diverse, ranging from weapons and equipment to vehicles.

Li Nuo thought, after the sculpture is finished, he has to think of another way to continue to contact the spirit bone, and it will not be too late to show his hammering ability at that time.

Time passed in wiping spirit bone and collecting subspace energy single crystals.

This evening, Li Nuo ended the simulation at dinnertime.

【Start simulation settlement.】

【You received 2 likes from Big Black Tooth, score +200.】

【You received 1 like from the Tech-Boss, score +50.】

【You received 33 likes from the Tech-Lad, score +330.】

【This simulation totaled 580 points, which have all been converted into simulation points.】

【Remaining simulation points: 6185 points.】

【Number of magical spores: 67.】

Go have dinner first, and come back after dinner to continue brushing subspace energy single crystals, and strive to gather the single crystals needed to create protective gear as soon as possible.

What Li Nuo was most afraid of was being targeted by the great enemy of Chaos, and he was determined to max out his Chaos resistance.

After finding a way to make Fungi-Statt, you can use single crystals to create power armor for them.

In the face of the possible appearance of Chaos demons, I will first wear underwear, shorts, headgear and socks made of single crystals, and then wear power armor made of single crystals, double protection, double immunity to Chaos corruption, and I will be stable. Mom will no longer worry about her son being corrupted by Chaos.

Li Nuo felt comfortable, stretched, left the study, and asked Brandi, who was cleaning the house:

"Has Tidor been here?"

"No, Master. However, Miss Tidor left you a voice message. She said that she will be summoning the commanders of the planetary defense forces with Lord Voges tonight, so she won't have dinner with you."

"Okay."

Li Nuo walked to the washroom.

Brandi followed with a broom and said:

"Master, a person claiming to be Osges is waiting in the lounge outside the laboratory. He came five minutes ago."

"Osges? The eldest son of the Jiaming branch?"

"Yes, sir, that's what he said."

"Okay, I see. I'll go see him after I rest."
