I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

With the problem of suppressing the reproduction of Orks solved, the next step is to establish absolute loyalty.

As of now, Li Nuo has found three paths to make the Gretchin Statt loyal to him.

The first path is to use genetic modification to make the Gretchin Statt have absolute worship and emotional dependence on him.

The inspiration for this path comes from the Emperor, and one of the bonds between him and the Primarchs was built on strong emotional dependence.

The second path to achieve absolute loyalty is to use the Orks' faith in Gork and Mork.

Select the Ork fungal gene from the Steel Warriors clan, and use the gene fragments related to "Gork and Mork" on the sample as the editing target, replacing "Gork and Mork" with himself.

In this way, the Orks' behavior of believing in "Gork and Mork" will become believing in themselves.

In the future, when the Orks exclaim, they will no longer say "Gork and Mork are above", but will say "Brother Li is above".

Shaping loyalty through faith is a mixed bag.

The advantage is that it is simple, fast, and more stable than emotional bonds, and there will be no strange phenomenon of "recognizing Chaos as father" due to "fatherly love deficiency".

The disadvantage is that this damn world of Warhammer pays attention to "believe it and it will be".

In the future, after the number of Gretchin Statt explodes, they will have "Brother Li" on their lips every day, and maybe one day an entity of "Brother Li" in the Warp will appear.

If this Warp entity called "Brother Li" is out of his control, wouldn't that be the end of it?

The Gretchin Statt that he has worked so hard to build will eventually become the lackey of a Warp evil god called "Brother Li", and it is sad to even think about it.

Therefore, the faith path became the first path to be rejected by Li Nuo, and the emotional path was the second to be rejected.

The hidden dangers of these two paths are too great.

No matter how convenient they are, Li Nuo does not intend to use them.

The third path to obtain absolute loyalty is the most stable, but there are many technical difficulties.

Its inspiration comes from the Mechanicum's Skitarii.

The Skitarii themselves do not have the ability to make decisions, they can only execute orders according to the established procedures.

The Datasmiths create protocol data cartridges through data programming means.

Different protocol data cartridges have different uses.

Some will load the Skitarii with a defense protocol to build a defensive position in place, and some will allow the Skitarii to take the initiative to attack and hunt down the enemy.

By switching different protocol data, the Skitarii play different roles.

Before a protocol data cartridge is inserted, the Skitarii will not fire, let alone act without authorization.

The only thing that will cause them to lose control is Chaos code.

Chaos code will pollute their instruction set, giving birth to electronic demons with evil consciousness, causing the Skitarii to lose control.

This is a bit tricky for both the Mechanicum and Li Nuo.

If a way can be found to prevent the Gretchin Statt from being interfered with by Chaos code, then the loyalty problem will be permanently solved.

In the month or so after signing cooperation agreements with the Radia Dynasty and the five mining worlds, Li Nuo pondered hard, launched no less than a hundred automatic simulations and 'I'm gonna try it' power, and finally found a perfect way to deal with Chaos code.

Today is December 13th of the 985th year of the 30th millennium, 17 days away from the new year.

This is destined to be an extraordinary day.

In the past month or so, the reproduction of Orks has been suppressed, there is a way to deal with the rebellion caused by Chaos code, and other sub-projects of genetic modification have also been settled under the operation of the system.

Li Nuo decided to start building the first generation Gretchin Statt on this day.

For the sake of insurance, he chose the Steel Warriors clan as the experimental site.

"Zarg, go get me the materials on the list."

Li Nuo, possessing the Mad Dok, walked out of the shack with a stack of Ork skin paper in his hand.

During this time as the Mad Dok's bodyguard, Zarg learned a lot of knowledge through exposure.

Facing the list on the Ork skin paper, he frowned and looked at it carefully, basically understanding what the list referred to:

"Alright, I'll get you the materials. What are you going to do today? I feel like you're planning something big?"

"Yes! That's right, I'm going to do something big today, a very, very big thing. If I succeed, our clan will have a group of good lads who can kill wildly on the battlefield and are very obedient."

Li Nuo raised a foot and kicked Zarg in the calf:

"Go quickly, don't dawdle, I have a lot of things to do today, I don't have time to chat with you."

"Alright." Zarg scratched his buttocks wrapped in metal armor and walked away with a clang.

The Mad Dok was too short to kick his buttocks, so he could only kick his calf, which Zarg regretted...

Half an hour later, Zarg came back, followed by three motorcycles loaded with materials.

There was a large vacant space behind the Mad Dok's shack.

Li Nuo asked Zarg to pile the materials on it.

After confirming that the materials were complete, Li Nuo officially began to make the first generation Gretchin Statt.

The production plan and process are extremely complex, and it would take tens of millions of pages of A4 paper to describe it in words and charts.

Having personally participated in every research and development link, Li Nuo is very familiar with the production process.

Without the guidance of paper documents, he can create the first generation Gretchin Statt according to the memory in his mind.

The first step is to take out an Ork reproductive spore that has been genetically edited from the fungal warehouse and put it into a culture tank.

This reproductive spore comes from the Mek Boy - Guga.

It has been genetically edited to only grow into 1 Mek Boy, without any other products.

The reason for choosing the Mek Boy is because this type of Ork is smarter than ordinary Ork Boys, and at the same time, his behavior habits are not as strange as the Mad Dok, and are more in line with the human concept of "well-behaved" and "sensible".

The culture tank used to cultivate spores contains a potion that accelerates the development and growth of reproductive spores, called "Growth Spirit", which is an alchemical potion made with Mad Dok witchcraft.

While waiting for the Ork reproductive spores to grow, Li Nuo performed the second step.

The purpose of this step is to build the framework of the Gretchin Statt.

Li Nuo decided to build the first generation Gretchin Statt with reference to the Mechanicum's Skitarii.

Therefore, when building the framework, he needs to use metal materials to make the shell, pipes, data instruction set storage components and other things of the Gretchin Statt.

But his current identity is a Mad Dok, how can he handle metal materials?

At this time, the reward option unlocked more than a month ago came in handy.

【Reward 5: Gain 1 chance to retrieve the gene knowledge base of the character without possessing a specific character. Abbreviated as "offline retrieval opportunity".】

【Exchange price: Several simulation points. The amount of points consumed is linked to the retrieval result you finally choose, which is 10 times the learning cost of the retrieval result.】

【Remaining simulation points: Approximately 150,000.】

【The next reward option will be unlocked when you get 1 million points in a single simulation.】

Li Nuo previously thought that the 5th reward option could only be exchanged through human identity.

But the truth is not so.

When possessing the Mad Dok, you can also exchange this reward.

Li Nuo had previously pre-experienced the process of using the Mad Dok to ponder mechanical witchcraft in order to build the Gretchin Statt.

He found the mechanical witchcraft needed to make the Gretchin Statt.

He logged into Guga's "account", learned this mechanical witchcraft, and then logged into the Mad Dok's "account" to see if the Mad Dok could perform this mechanical witchcraft.

Unfortunately, no.

If you want the Mad Dok to perform mechanical witchcraft, you must exchange the 5th reward option in the identity of the Mad Dok.

Then can the Mek Boys of the Steel Warriors clan do it for him?

Li Nuo tried to teach them the mechanical witchcraft he learned through Guga, but found that it didn't work.

Because the Mad Dok didn't learn mechanical witchcraft, the mechanical witchcraft displayed by Li Nuo controlling this body was seriously out of shape.

The Mek Boys of the Steel Warriors clan couldn't understand what Li Nuo wanted them to do, so they could only look at the Mad Dok dancing with a dazed expression.

Li Nuo thought of the third way, which was to possess the Mek Boy of the Steel Warriors clan.

An embarrassing situation appeared.

Because the role of Mek Boy Guga has already been saved, the system refused to let Li Nuo possess the second Mek Boy.

Only by deleting Guga's character archive can he possess the new Mek Boy.

After careful consideration, Li Nuo decided to keep Guga's archive and instead learn mechanical witchcraft by exchanging rewards.

He operated on the interface, manually exchanged reward 5, and began to ponder.

【Offline retrieval of Guga's gene knowledge base is in progress.】

【Retrieval completed.】

【Retrieval result: 1 item.】

【Name: Framework of the Computing Thing.】

【Learning cost: 100 skill points.】

【Description:】

【The Computing Thing is the "computer" in human language. Its framework includes circuits, witchcraft power supplies, heat sinks, nerve signal conduction components and other components made with mechanical witchcraft.】

【The Computing Thing can also be called a Tick Box, because it makes a ticking sound when it is running.】

【The central processing unit of the Computing Thing must use an Ork's head.】

【To learn this mechanical witchcraft offline, you need to pay an additional 10,000 simulation points.】

Li Nuo consumed 1,000 simulation points to exchange for 100 skill points.

Using 100 skill points plus 10,000 points, he exchanged for the framework diagram of the Computing Thing.

In Zarg's solidified gaze, Li Nuo used the identity of the Mad Dok to perform mechanical witchcraft. Every step was smooth and fluent, making Zarg's eyes widen like copper bells.

"Oh~~ Gork and Mork are above! Our Mad Dok can actually do the tricks of the Mek Boys! Am I dreaming!"

Zarg's strange cry attracted the surrounding Orks and Gretchin.

A group of bald, short-sighted Greenskins squeaked and screamed, shouting that Gork and Mork had manifested.

Even the tech-gitz from the Mek Shop were drawn over, staring blankly as the Mad Doc wielded the welding torch and angle grinder. His movements, his expression, the smooth, drifting positioning and operation, were more agile and more Waaagh! than even those tech-gitz themselves!

From the crowd, someone bellowed:

“Our Mad Doc has become a Tech-Boss!”

This sentence threw the scene into turmoil.

Immediately, the debate raged over whether Zog was a Mad Doc or a Tech-Boss, buzzing in Leeon's ears and almost breaking his concentration.

“Quiet! All of ya, quiet!”

Leeon turned and shouted at the crowd:

“I’m gonna be a Weirdboy, ya gitz. A Weirdboy knows lots of different kinds of weirdness, right? So, there's nothin' to argue about! I'm me, I'm still Zog, your Mad Doc, and your future Weirdboy! Now all of ya shut it! Don't interrupt my creation of a great masterpiece!”

Iron split the crowd and walked over, raising his arms and waving them, roaring:

“Did ya all hear that? Our future Weirdboy Boss wants ya to be quiet. Anyone who keeps yappin’ gets hung up and whipped!”

Iron’s height had grown like crazy over the past month, and his metal armor and skin had also expanded, making him look like a steel behemoth, full of menace.

His appearance silenced the scene; no one dared to shout anymore.

Leeon nodded in satisfaction, giving Iron a grateful look, and the latter bowed slightly to him in respect.

The clan traditions that Leeon had established a month ago had increased the overall combat power of the Steel Guts clan by more than one level.

Now, during every clan war, the Steel Guts boyz would hack and shoot like they were on drugs, each one scrambling to get the enemy's teeth.

This brutal act of pulling out the enemy's teeth after killing them left many corpses with bloody, mangled mouths, terrifying the other clans.

Some clans regarded the Steel Guts as treacherous enemies and took strict precautions.

Others began to worship the Steel Guts clan.

To date, a greenskin clan called the Bloodfists had surrendered to the Steel Guts, willing to follow them in attacking other clans.

The Bloodfists clan's surrender brought Leeon one step closer to becoming a Weirdboy.

After the appearance of the First Gen Grot-Servitor, even more clans would submit to the Steel Guts clan's fierce combat power.

There was no doubt about this, as could be seen from the changing expressions of the onlookers.

At first, the greenskins were surprised that the Mad Doc could perform the tricks of a Tech-Gitz.

But when Leeon took a hastily grown greenskin boy out of the culture tank and started cutting him up on the dissection table, the greenskins realized that the Mad Doc was still the Mad Doc.

Once he started surgery, the Mad Doc revealed his almost insane operational skills.

The surgery was brutal and ruthless; the process was ruthless and brutal.

Even Iron couldn't help but swallow, and the other greenskin boyz were so frightened that they backed away.

This surgery to connect the greenskin neural network with circuit pipes and data cables was something Leeon had exchanged for in advance, costing a full 3,000 skill points, or 30,000 simulation points.

It was expensive, but worth it.

In the future, when Leeon modified human bodies, he wouldn't need anyone else to do it; he could complete neural adjustments himself.

After a while, the surgery ended.

The greenskin brain, used as the central processing unit, was placed into the frame of the Thinky-Thing, along with the nerve bundles of the brain.

After three hours of nerve connection and adjustment, a greenskin computer with data analysis capabilities was born.

It received external signals and instructions through sensors and cassette readers.

The nerve signals it transmitted to the outside world would be converted into binary language by the Thinky-Thing, thereby controlling the mechanical equipment and devices connected to the Thinky-Thing.

The Thinky-Thing was the core of the Grot-Servitor.

With it, the Grot-Servitor's transmission device, firepower device, shield device, and scanning device had a 'backbone'.

Because the greenskin brain was used as the central processing unit, Chaos code could do nothing to the Thinky-Thing, not even contaminate the instruction set.

The Thinky-Thing had more than one use.

After seeing the Thinky-Thing built by the Mad Doc, the Tech-Gitz in the crowd suddenly yelled:

“Waaagh! I know why the blue flame furnace keeps malfunctioning!”

“Me too!”

“I think I understand a lot of principles all of a sudden! I'm going to the workshop to try out my new ideas now!”

The Tech-Gitz pushed through the crowd and ran away, grabbing a few grots as experimental materials.

Leeon glanced in the direction the Tech-Gitz had gone and nodded to himself.

Today was destined to be a day of great technological breakthroughs for the Steel Guts clan.

By demonstrating the production process of the Thinky-Thing, he indirectly taught this mechanical sorcery, successfully allowing the Tech-Gitz to comprehend the key points of making a Thinky-Thing.

The blue flame furnace they spoke of was the plasma furnace, named for the blue light it emitted.

After the last big explosion, the plasma furnace hadn't exploded again, but it often broke down, which gave the Tech-Gitz a headache.

In fact, this was due to the lack of a Thinky-Thing.

Leeon, through the identity of Guga, had closely observed the plasma furnaces of the greenskin pirate fleet and confirmed that the equipment matched with it was indeed the Thinky-Thing.

Only by using the Thinky-Thing to predict the changes in the magnetic field and radiation of the plasma furnace, and making adjustments to the amount of plasma fuel introduced and the magnetic field strength in advance, could the plasma furnace be guaranteed to operate stably for a long time.

Today, making a Grot-Servitor in the Steel Guts clan not only produced the prototype machine of the First Gen Grot-Servitor, but also helped the clan solve the difficult problems of the plasma furnace, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Leeon calmed his mind and walked into his shack.

When he appeared in everyone's sight again, he had a pile of crystal clear granular matter in his hand.

This was the subspace energy single crystal obtained by polishing bone.

The binder, cutting fluid, forging table, and tool set required for the subspace crystal forging technique had been prepared a few days ago.

Leeon rolled up his sleeves and started working, using binder to make the single crystals into blocks, hammering away.

After spending four hours like this, the Steel Guts clan welcomed dusk.

Under the blood-red sunset, a humanoid weapon more than two meters tall, one and a half meters wide, and covered in subspace energy single crystal armor made a brilliant debut.

The single crystal armor was milky white due to its material properties, shining brightly in the light of the sunset, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

The limbs and torso of the humanoid weapon were designed and built with reference to the golden ratio, and the aesthetic beauty contained within even made the greenskins couldn't help but exclaim, “Shiny big thing, I like it.”

Overall, the humanoid weapon looked a lot like "Baymax" from a certain animated film, except that its belly didn't bulge out.

Leeon stood in front of the humanoid weapon, took a deep breath, and stabilized his agitated heart.

He reached into his pocket, pretending to take out an item, but actually took out a yeast cassette with a chitinous shell from the fungus warehouse.

Every material of this cassette was directly related to fungus, so it could be stored in the fungus warehouse.

Its chitinous shell came from ascomycetes, waterproof, fireproof, electric-proof, hard and not easy to oxidize, durable.

The combat protocol data stored inside used yeast gene fragments as the data carrier.

The humanoid weapon had a built-in gene analysis tool that could obtain yeast gene fragments and quickly read the protocol data above.

Leeon inserted the yeast cassette into the slot under the humanoid weapon's armpit, connected the power cord to the humanoid weapon, and pressed the start button.

“Buzz——”

The low hum made everyone present stunned, and the following ticking sound indicated that the Thinky-Thing had entered operation.

All the greenskins' eyes were focused on the humanoid weapon.

After wave after wave of electrophoresis and ticking sounds, the humanoid weapon's head—the noise box, that is, the sound array device in human civilization—emitted the greenskins' voice.

“I have completed the startup, Master. The unnamed combat unit reports to you! I am performing a self-check according to the instructions of the protocol data. The self-check results are as follows:

“Ticking box, steady. Noise box, loud and clear. Hard armor, neat and tidy. Bang-bang things, not yet installed.”

The humanoid weapon took two steps forward, then jumped back to its original position, made a few gymnastics moves, and finally stood up straight and said:

“Click-clack legs and clang-clang arms, as flexible as a flexible dog in the mountains. Report, Master! Self-check complete, my functions are all normal.”

Leeon clenched his fists nervously, opened the system interface, and tried to possess the humanoid weapon in front of him.

Only a humanoid weapon that he could possess was a qualified Grot-Servitor.

If he couldn't possess it, the humanoid weapon was just a time bomb that could go out of control at any time.

Leeon would rather destroy it than see it cause trouble, or even defect to Chaos.

The population of the Steel Guts clan was now approaching 50,000, and the output of magic spores was rising, reaching a level of 15 per day.

The number of magic spores in stock should be enough to pay for possession.

Now it depends on whether the system judges the humanoid weapon as a 'greenskin'.

A system message popped up.

Leeon held his breath, checked line by line, and his heart beat uncontrollably faster.
