I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Li Nuo returned the way he came, wearing the Hunter-Duke equipment. The guards along the way watched this scene, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

In the circles of nobles and their entourages, there was an unwritten rule: whoever received the Hunter-Duke equipment as a reward had gained the complete trust of the family head and could be said to have become a confidant in one fell swoop.

When Li Nuo first joined the Fogguth family, why did so many family members come to freeload?

Wasn't it because he didn't have the Hunter-Duke equipment?

A son-in-law without the Hunter-Duke equipment was at most a family accessory. To put it more bluntly, the Governor himself only wanted to indirectly control the new technology by marrying off his daughter.

But today is different from the past.

After the son-in-law had the Hunter-Duke equipment, his relationship with the Fogguth family became a legitimate marriage.

Yes, a marriage.

According to another unwritten rule, family marriages used the gifting of Hunter-Duke equipment as a signal.

Generally, the powerful family would send the Hunter-Duke equipment to the weaker family to show that the former treated the latter fairly.

From today onwards, Li Nuo was no longer a son-in-law.

He transformed into a "noble son-in-law," the esteemed son-in-law of the Governor, with a status equivalent to the "Imperial Son-in-Law," "Prince," or "Duke" of ancient Terra from the 0k to 2k era.

This change in status was also reflected in position and power.

Not long after Li Nuo returned to the laboratory wearing the Hunter-Duke equipment, the Governor's personal guards delivered the Governor's authorization letter.

The letter came in two copies: one made of parchment for collection, and the other in electronic data for daily use.

The letter stated three main points:

First, from this day forward, Governor Fogguth officially granted Li Nuo · Willsey the position of Deputy Governor, who could freely choose whether or not to exercise the relevant powers.

Second, Lord Fogguth specially allowed the Willsey family to establish an armed guard.

Third, Lord Fogguth recommended the Willsey family to enter the Hive City Noble Council. After the council's review and approval, Li Nuo could freely choose whether or not to participate in the council's affairs.

The letter recorded a large number of authorization serial numbers. The powers granted by the serial numbers included, but were not limited to:

The power to access the Governor's database, the power to mobilize the planetary defense forces, the power to mobilize and establish the Governor's Guards, the power to implement the Governor's Guards gene modification project, the power to build new residences and renovate existing residences, etc.

Among all the authorization serial numbers, there were two authorization projects that were very special.

One was the authorization project to build a Hive City fleet, and the other was to build a Hive City space station.

With these two authorizations, Li Nuo could establish his own space fleet and orbital space station in the name of the Willsey family and the Deputy Governor.

Of course, he would have to pay for building the fleet and space station himself.

The average auction price for retired Imperial Navy cruisers was about 5 million Throne Gelts.

The cost of hiring crew, renovating ships, purchasing supplies, and acquiring equipment added up to more than 1 million Throne Gelts.

It would cost a full 6 million to buy a second-hand cruiser to run interstellar trade, a cost that made Li Nuo's head spin.

Of course, he could also settle for a transport ship to run trade, but its safety and efficiency were far inferior to a second-hand cruiser.

Li Nuo calculated that he couldn't afford even the cheapest transport ship for the time being.

The construction cost of the Hive City space station was even more exaggerated.

Even the smallest space station would cost 10 million Throne Gelts, not to mention the cost of purchasing equipment and daily maintenance.

In short, a series of authorizations from his father-in-law gave Li Nuo unparalleled power and status.

How much of a splash he could make with these authorized projects depended entirely on his own abilities.

Leaving aside the distant future, he should first solve his own security problems and build an absolutely loyal armed guard as soon as possible.

Li Nuo said goodbye to Tidor and took off the Hunter-Duke equipment in his study.

After pondering for a long time, Li Nuo finally decided to upgrade the system now.

Of course, not by absorbing the entire set.

Li Nuo only planned to absorb the genetic engineering module.

He opened the back cover of the suit and put his hand on the module.

With a thought, the black module disappeared without a trace, and the rest of the suit remained unchanged.

Li Nuo tried on the suit and tried walking around the study and activating the different functions of the suit.

Thanks to the modular design of the Hunter-Duke equipment, after absorbing the genetic engineering module, all the other functions of the suit were fully retained except for those related to genetic engineering, and did not affect the use of the suit.

Li Nuo took off the suit, nodded in satisfaction, and went to the washroom to wash up.

After taking a shower, he lay flat on the bed, clicked on the save file of the Tech-Kid Guga, and ate 1 magical spore.

Under the arrangement of the Ork pirate boss Big Black Tooth, the construction of the statue was proceeding in full swing.

The Tech-Boss disassembled the statue into hundreds of parts.

Larger parts would be forged by the Tech-Boss leading a group of Tech-Kids using hammer forging techniques.

Smaller parts, such as the fingers, hair, and beard of the sculpture, would be polished and manufactured by Guga.

Polishing Spirit Bones was achieved through fungal simulation.

As a Tech-Kid, Guga himself did not have a system.

Therefore, the work of polishing Spirit Bones had to be performed by Li Nuo himself.

He estimated that after "logging in" for five hours every night to polish Spirit Bones, and after "logging in" continuously for 30 days, the sculpture would be completed, and he could obtain 1.5 tons of warp energy single crystals.

So many single crystals would be more than enough to forge three sets of weapons and equipment.

Using them together with the Hammering Technique would solve the problem of the source of cutting-edge equipment for the Grot-Stodes and himself.

Now, the key difficulty of the Grot-Stodes plan was concentrated on the selection of personnel.

Who would serve as a Grot-Stodes, protect his safety, and become the most solid line of defense?

Li Nuo's requirements for candidates were absolute loyalty and strict obedience.

After considering many options, he finally decided to use Orks.

But not ordinary Orks.

Using Orks as Grot-Stodes had many advantages.

He could project himself onto the Grot-Stodes through Waaagh simulation and personally control them, which was the most obvious benefit.

Secondly, Mad Doks and Tech-Kids could cast corresponding witchcraft after serving as Grot-Stodes.

The same was true for Weirdboyz.

A Weirdboy transformed into a Grot-Stodes was somewhat similar in function to a Librarian in a Space Marine Chapter and could be called a Grot-Librarian.

Similarly, a Mad Dok who was proficient in medicine and biochemical modification corresponded to the Apothecary of a Space Marine Chapter and could be called a Grot-Apothecary.

A Tech-Kid serving as a Grot-Stodes was the Techmarine of a Space Marine Chapter.

Orks with special purposes, such as Mad Doks, Tech-Kids, and Weirdboyz, were defined as "Oddboyz."

One type of Oddboy corresponded to a special unit of a Space Marine Chapter, and there were ready-made templates that could be used to transform Orks into Grot-Stodes.

Li Nuo could completely create an alternative "Space Marine Chapter."

It could be seen how well Orks and Grot-Stodes matched.

The key now was how to completely control their behavior, thoughts, and the instinct to spread reproductive spores without possessing the Orks.

This required the use of gene modification.

The Genetic Engineer-type Hunter-Duke equipment could just help.

This set of Hunter-Duke equipment could perform most of the gene modification steps on his behalf.

Only two steps required Li Nuo to do it himself.

The first step was to collect gene fragments, and the second step was to test the final gene modification results.

These two steps were the beginning and end of genetic engineering, and all the intermediate steps were done by the Hunter-Duke equipment.

During the process of possessing Guga, Li Nuo could just collect a gene sample from the Tech-Kid.

…

…

In a corner of the galaxy, the Ork pirate fleet was building its third ship, and the scene was in full swing.

Li Nuo picked up a pile of Spirit Bones and found a place with few people to sit down.

While activating the automatic simulation to polish Spirit Bones, he diverted part of his mind to think about the Ork machinery for collecting gene samples.

System messages were refreshed while he was thinking.

[Searching the Tech-Kid's gene knowledge base.]

[Search completed.]

[Search results: 3 items.]

[Search result 1: Gene Mechanical Claw.]

[Search result 2: Gene Examination Chamber.]

[Search result 3: Find-Thingy - Gene Scanning Module.]

The Find-Thingy was the shipboard radar, corresponding to the Augur Array on human Imperial ships.

After installing the gene scanning module, the Find-Thingy could be used to scan the gene fragments of all creatures on a planet.

Such a large shipboard device was definitely not something Li Nuo could operate alone.

Overall, the Gene Mechanical Claw was the most suitable.

Li Nuo spent 500 points to redeem 50 skill points and learn the crafting blueprints for the Gene Mechanical Claw.

He took a pile of scrap metal and electronic components, polishing Spirit Bones with his left hand and holding a laser spray gun in his right hand to weld the parts.

Working with both hands at the same time, a rusty and dented Gene Mechanical Claw was produced in no time.

Don't look down on this broken thing, its effect was not ambiguous at all.

Li Nuo picked up the mechanical claw, aimed the laser emitter in the center of the claw at himself, and pressed the switch.

The sharp claws of the mechanical claw operated on their own, extending a needle to pierce Li Nuo's skin and collect his blood.

The pain from the wound did not make Li Nuo feel uncomfortable, but instead added some fighting spirit and excitement.

This strange physiological reaction came from the Ork instinct.

Li Nuo suppressed the instinct, not allowing it to evolve into a desire for destruction.

The blood collected from the body was sealed in a brown glass tube.

A hair-thin laser beam was emitted from the laser emitter in the center of the claw.

This beam was a black technology created by mechanical witchcraft, which could quickly cool the blood, keeping it at around 4 ℃ for a long time, inhibiting enzyme activity and preventing gene degradation.

In addition, it could also remove impurities in the blood that were not related to the extraction of gene samples.

In the blood, gene samples mainly existed in white blood cells.

Plasma and red blood cells would only interfere with the collection of gene samples.

These impurities would be removed by the laser beam, leaving only white blood cells.

Under the action of the beam, the cell membrane and nuclear membrane of the white blood cells ruptured, and the genes were released.

The liquid in the glass tube was divided into two, becoming two layers, upper and lower.

The upper layer was the gene solution, and the lower layer was impurities such as hemoglobin, phospholipids, ribonucleic acid, and fragmented cell membranes left after the white blood cells ruptured.

Newest novels are first released on 69shu.!

With this, the gene extraction work came to an end. Next, the gene solution needs to be extracted from the glass tube and stored separately.

Li Nuo didn't need to be so troublesome.

He hid the glass tube in his arms, preventing the surrounding orcs and gremlins from noticing, and activated the upgraded system function.

“System, store the gene solution in the fungal warehouse.”

With a command, the gene solution in the glass jar disappeared, and a system message popped up.

【You have collected a gene sample of Technician Lad Guga, which has now been stored in the gene library of the fungal warehouse and can be used for automated genetic engineering simulation.】

【Detected that the gene sample contains a triple helix structure, corresponding to the gene structures of fungi, plants, and animals respectively.】

【You can only conduct simulation experiments on gene fragments related to fungi.】

【It is recommended to first replicate the fungal genes on the gene sample to obtain a new gene sample, and use it as the simulation object.】

The fact that gene simulation can only be effective on fungal genes made Li Nuo feel a little regretful.

However, it doesn't matter, the fungal genes of the orcs alone are already very powerful.

Let's thoroughly study this part of the gene first, and then consider using other genetic equipment to study the plant and animal genes of the orcs in the future.

Li Nuo silently said in his heart:

“Confirm to replicate the fungal genes on the gene sample.”

【Detected that you are conducting another fungal simulation.】

【The simulation equipment used in this project does not overlap or conflict with the fungal gene simulation that is about to be carried out.】

【Therefore, fungal gene simulation can be carried out simultaneously with fungal cultivation simulation.】

The equipment used for the two simulations are completely different, so there will be no conflict in carrying them out simultaneously. Li Nuo discovered this small detail for the first time.

Thinking about it carefully, there is no problem with the system being set up like this.

It's like in a microbiology laboratory, there are culture rooms for cultivating fungi, as well as gene amplification rooms, sequencing rooms, and editing rooms for gene research.

Rooms with different purposes are independent of each other, the equipment is not universal, and can be activated simultaneously.

The system's operating logic is consistent with this, so fungal gene simulation and fungal cultivation simulation can be carried out simultaneously.

Li Nuo asked the system to turn on automated gene replication simulation.

Here, I have to mention a major highlight of the Hunter Duke equipment.

The genetic engineer type Hunter Duke equipment comes with a whole set of black technology for generating consumables needed for genetic engineering.

These raw materials are mainly various mixed liquids and various enzymes.

Li Nuo couldn't understand how the Hunter Duke equipment generated and stored such a large pile of things, but the fact is that it's so outrageous.

Other styles of Hunter Duke suits also have this automatic material generation function, and they are even more exaggerated. Some automatically generate food, and some automatically generate ammunition and explosives.

Not long after the automatic fungal gene simulation was carried out, a brand new gene sample was stored in the gene library.

The sample number is 100 copies, numbered from Technician Lad Fungal Gene Sample No. 1 to No. 100.

Li Nuo randomly clicked on a sample and threw out a fungal analyzer.

【Analysis successful.】

【Name: Technician Lad Guga's Fungal Gene Sample No. 1.】

【Analysis result:】

【The fungal gene sequence written by the Old Ones, most of the gene fragments are lost or have irreparable damage.】

【The system predicts that this gene sample has only about 30% integrity compared to the Technician Lad fungal gene sample from the time of the War in Heaven.】

【Fungal genes determine the living habits, reproduction methods, and growth paths of orcs.】

【Knowledge related to mechanical witchcraft is encrypted by the Old Ones, and there will be a chance to crack it after upgrading the system. After the cracking is completed, you can learn mechanical witchcraft without spending skill points.】

【The information and knowledge recorded on the gene sample are as follows:】

【Gene fragment: Sample01 - Clone001 - Frag00001】

【Function: This gene fragment is related to the directional growth path of reproductive spores, and determines that the reproductive spores sown by Guga will have a greater probability of growing into Technician Lads.】

【Gene fragment: Sample01 - Clone001 - Frag00002】

【Function: This gene fragment determines the hobbies of Technician Lads. Affected by this gene fragment setting, Guga will have a special liking for machinery.】

【…】

A vast amount of gene fragments refreshed before his eyes, and the mysteries of life hidden in the genes were presented to Li Nuo without reservation.

At this moment, Li Nuo deeply understood the extraordinary significance of genes to organisms.

What an organism likes to eat, what it hates, and how it will react to danger are basically determined by its gene fragments.

Changing the gene encoding on the gene fragments can alter the appearance, behavior, habits, and thinking patterns of the character, just like creating a character in a game.

After reading all the gene fragments, Li Nuo basically confirmed one fact:

The fungal gene fragments of the orcs are related to the reproduction and living habits of the orcs.

This coincides with the results of the fungal analysis.

Let's look at the identification results of the plant and animal genes of the orcs.

The information on the identification interface shows:

Plant genes determine the metabolic mode and appearance of orcs.

Affected by this, the orcs appear green and can perform efficient photosynthesis.

Animal genes determine the physiological structure and physical growth path of orcs.

Affected by this, the organs of the orcs show a redundant growth trend, and they often grow more organs and muscles.

The Orc-Starrs wear armor, and appearance is not important, so whether plant genes can be used for simulation will not delay Li Nuo's creation of the Orc-Starrs.

The individual strength of the orcs can be adjusted through witchcraft and equipment.

Therefore, animal genes are also not important.

The essential elements for the Orc-Starrs are only absolute loyalty.

The orc reproduction and living habits determined by fungal genes are completely in line with Li Nuo's needs.

Doesn't he want the Orc-Starrs to be absolutely loyal?

OK, it's very simple, he just needs to issue a simulation command.

“System, help me screen out all gene fragments related to loyalty.”

【Screening completed, the results are as follows:】

【…】

More than 20,000 gene fragments were eliminated by the system, leaving about 300.

Each one is related to loyalty and obedience to orders.

For example, this one:

【Gene fragment: Sample01 - Clone001 - Frag10013】

【Function:】

【This fragment determines Guga's degree of worship for his superiors. Affected by this fragment, Guga's degree of worship for his superiors is moderate. After tampering, the degree of worship can reach absolute worship.】

If the degree of worship is maxed out, the loyalty of the Orc-Starrs will definitely explode.

This is one way to obtain absolute loyalty, but it is not very reliable.

Li Nuo remembered the Horus Heresy.

The gene primarch's degree of worship for the Emperor goes without saying, absolutely reaching the level of needing the care of the gene father at all times.

The benefits of such a degree of worship are obvious, that is, the primarch obeys the Emperor's orders.

But don't forget the disadvantages.

Once a "daddy's boy" loses his father's attention, he is likely to go to extremes due to the huge psychological gap.

The good son Horus is the most typical example.

In the Ullanor Crusade, Horus rescued the Emperor from the hands of the orc warboss, and then killed the warboss on the spot, thus establishing extremely high prestige and ascending to the position of Warmaster.

Just when Horus thought his father would accompany him to continue the expedition to the surrounding areas of the Milky Way, the Emperor suddenly gave up command of the expedition fleet, returned to Terra, and messed around with the webway entrance under the palace.

Horus lost his father's love and care, and his heart was extremely empty, and then Chaos took advantage of the emptiness.

Chaos gave Horus the missing paternal love, thus deeply corrupting him.

Referring to this future history, Li Nuo felt that it might not be a good thing to let the Orc-Starrs completely blindly worship himself.

What if I disappear in the future due to certain things, wouldn't the Orc-Starrs be in chaos.

“I have to learn from the Emperor's lessons. I must not only make the Orc-Starrs absolutely loyal to myself, but also give them a certain ability to think, so that they can distinguish between right and wrong and loyalty and treachery, and not be corrupted by Chaos.

“The same is true in other aspects. I must never make the mistakes that the Emperor has made.”
