The under-hive is full of places that people in the under-hive consider gold mines.

The ruins area is the largest and most dangerous, and only desperados would risk going in there.

More people choose to go to the Water Guild's sewage reservoir.

The sewage from the upper and middle hives flows through pipes to the under-hive's sewage reservoir, where pollutants in the water settle over time and due to gravity.

The impurities that sink to the bottom slowly pile up, raising the reservoir's bottom, and the relatively clear water overflows from the reservoir's edge into another reservoir for settling impurities.

When a reservoir is filled with impurities, a gold mine known as "black beach" appears to the under-hive people.

There are many rumors surrounding the black beach, mostly about someone finding jewelry from the upper hive and becoming rich overnight.

The Water Guild regularly sends excavators and transport vehicles to carry the impurities to the wilderness outside the hive city for landfill.

Before the transport work is completed, the under-hive civilians are allowed to enter the reservoir.

They can wander around on the soft piles of impurities, searching for any items from the upper districts.

Of course, they bear the consequences themselves.

Skin abrasions, mild infections, fever and cough, or even mutations—the Water Guild is not responsible for any accidents.

On the black beach, there is a black thing called a "water mine."

They can reach up to ten centimeters in diameter, with a smooth surface covered in a layer of black slime.

Stepping on one, the water mine will explode like a landmine, and the sewage stored inside will burst out in all directions.

Since the germs and pollutants carried by the water mine are generally not pathogenic, children like to use it to have water fights, to see who will be the unlucky one pickled by the sewage.

"Kids! Stop! Look at me, look at me, I have something to say!"

Li Nuo spread his arms and walked towards a group of playing children.

"Whoosh—"

A water mine came flying towards him.

Li Nuo's brow twitched, and he quickly dodged to the side.

The water mine exploded behind him, making his back a mess of sewage.

The children burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you!"

"That's right! Beat us first!"

"You look older than us, go play by yourself, we'll all beat you together!"

The cocky children bullied Li Nuo for being alone, and the two sides who were originally fighting joined forces to bully him.

Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly, and before a new attack arrived, he revealed his trump card:

"See the ration card in my hand? Whoever helps me bring ten water mines, this ration card in my hand will belong to them! The number of ration cards is limited, first come, first served!"

The children's eyes lit up!

Their parents don't have money to send them to school.

Having water fights and picking up trash in the reservoir is their childhood.

Now, hearing that there is money to be made, the little brats immediately became excited.

Without Li Nuo's urging, the scene became lively.

In less than half an hour, Li Nuo collected a large bag of water mines and handed out a large handful of ration cards.

On the way back, he bought detergent specifically for cleaning food and chemical-resistant gloves, and carefully cleaned the water mines.

Carrying the water mines back to his residence, Li Nuo took out a water mine and held it in his hand, silently reciting "Analyze Fungus."

The system interface popped up.

[Name: "Water Mine"]

[Analysis Result:]

[Wild fungus, with miscellaneous bacterial contamination and weak toxicity.]

[The under-hive people have proven in practice that unless you eat three "water mines" in one go, the miscellaneous bacteria and toxicity it carries will not cause disease.]

[The colloid of the "water mine" has extremely strong hydrophilicity and can absorb several times its own volume of liquid.]

Wild fungus inevitably has miscellaneous bacteria; as long as there are no pests, it's fine.

To combat miscellaneous bacteria, Li Nuo specifically purchased bactericides and antibiotics at the medical station. The former is for fungal diseases, and the latter is for bacterial diseases.

The only shortcoming is the toxicity of the water mine.

The toxicity of fungi generally comes from genetic material and metabolic products. No matter how many generations it reproduces, its toxicity will not disappear.

However, considering the harsh growth environment of the water mine, Li Nuo is more willing to believe that its toxicity comes from the toxic substances it absorbs, rather than being inherently toxic.

Putting down the water mine in his hand, Li Nuo took out a ration card from under the bed and went out again.

A few minutes later, he came back carrying large and small packages.

These things were the raw materials he purchased based on his past experience in making culture media.

After preparing everything, Li Nuo sat down in the chair:

"Start simulating the domestication of wild fungi."

[Simulation is about to begin.]

[Please select an experimental sample.]

Li Nuo pointed to the bag containing the water mines:

"Separate the strains from the water mines and cultivate them."

[Sample setting completed.]

[Please select the culture medium and nutrient solution you want to use.]

Li Nuo raised his hand, gestured around the large and small packages at his feet, and instructed:

"Use synthetic starch, orange sugar, and purified water to make the culture medium. Each culture medium uses 200 grams of synthetic starch, 20 grams of orange sugar, and 1000 milliliters of purified water. For the nutrient solution, use a mixture of orange sugar and purified water, 5% orange sugar, and the rest water."

To be honest, Li Nuo felt a little uneasy.

The ideal culture medium should use potato starch, glucose, agar, and purified water.

But everyone who understands this bird place of Warhammer World understands that there is no normal starch and glucose.

Li Nuo can only settle for synthetic starch that may contain potato starch.

The so-called orange sugar is a local artificial synthetic sugar cube, which may contain glucose.

[Culture medium and nutrient solution settings completed.]

[Please select a container.]

Li Nuo took out a stack of brand-new plastic bags that he bought at a high price from his pocket.

They come from the Promethium Guild and are by-products of refining promethium. They have never been used and have undergone strict sterilization and disinfection before leaving the factory.

"Use the plastic bags in my hand as cultivation bags. Before the experiment starts, disinfect the containers with the medical alcohol I bought."

[Container setting completed.]

[Please set the simulation parameters.]

"Standard atmospheric pressure, room temperature 25 degrees, relative humidity 70%, no light, proper ventilation."

[Simulation parameters setting completed.]

[Start simulation.]

[Day 1, you completed the sowing.]

[Day 2 and Day 3, the environmental parameters remain unchanged, and the sample develops and grows rapidly.]

[Day 4, small spots of various colors grow on the surface of more than one-third of the samples, showing mild contamination of miscellaneous bacteria. At this time, you decide?]

Researching miscellaneous bacteria may lead to the discovery of something of great significance.

However, it is better to focus on the water problem for now, and not spend time and energy on researching miscellaneous bacteria.

Li Nuo decisively said:

"I decide to isolate the samples with miscellaneous bacterial contamination and treat them with bactericides and antibiotics. If the treatment is ineffective, discard the contaminated samples."

[Day 4, you found that the treatment was ineffective and promptly removed the samples contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria to prevent the contamination from spreading to the remaining samples.]

[Day 5, you observed fruiting bodies. You decide?]

"I decide to lower the ambient temperature to 20 degrees, increase the relative humidity to 95%, and ensure adequate ventilation."

[Day 7, miscellaneous bacterial contamination broke out again. This time, more than 90% of the samples showed different degrees of contamination. You decide?]

"More than 90% have miscellaneous bacterial contamination? Is the fungal experiment in the Warhammer world so difficult?"

Li Nuo felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then said:

"As before, I decided to isolate the contaminated samples and try to treat them. If the treatment fails, discard them. Also, pay attention to spraying water on the surface of the normally developing fruiting bodies, while avoiding excessive spraying that leads to water accumulation."

[Day 7, after isolation and treatment, only two cultivation bags were preserved.]

[Day 8, the fruiting bodies in the two cultivation bags have completed their development, but they are severely contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria and there is no need to treat them.]

[So far, the first simulation cultivation is declared a failure.]

"Damn it, how can I still encounter a situation where all my efforts are wasted when I get to another world? Ah ah ah ah ah—"

Li Nuo scratched his hair in distress, feeling that his PTSD was about to flare up.

The process of domesticating wild fungi is both long and painful.

Experimenters often need to go through many generations of cultivation and breeding to obtain the ideal mycelium.

The first cultivation ushered in failure, which will undoubtedly hit the enthusiasm of the experimenters.

However, Li Nuo is already used to it.

God knows how much hair he lost before crossing over in order to domesticate wild fungi.

Now that there is a system to help, the situation is already much better, so there is no need to demand too much.

Soon, Li Nuo calmed down and fell into deep thought.

When I get to another world, the cultivation techniques that I originally followed may not work. I have to adapt to the local conditions.

Anyway, there is no tutor staring at me, so I can do whatever I want.

Thinking this way in his heart, Li Nuo slowly stood up, took his ration card and went out.
