I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#68 - Schrödinger's Fungus (3k)
"Let me think. The lower nest residents prefer strong cigarettes that are easy to store, and can be used after drying even if they get wet."
Li Nuo nodded slowly in contemplation, an idea forming in his mind.
Sun-cured tobacco was undoubtedly the first choice for the lower nest residents.
As the name suggests, sun-cured tobacco involves picking the tobacco leaves and naturally drying them, reducing the moisture content to a certain level before fermentation and shredding.
This is the general production process of sun-cured tobacco. Compared to flue-cured tobacco, it lacks the baking step.
The most crucial aspect of sun-cured tobacco is the selection of raw materials, followed by the yeast used for fermentation.
In the upper nest, the cheapest sun-cured cigarette sells for 3 credit points each, while the most expensive can reach 1000 credit points each.
The exchange rate between credit points and ration cards at the counter is 1:10.
Converted, the cheapest sun-cured cigarette costs 30 ration cards, so it's no wonder this type of cigarette can't gain traction in the lower nest.
So, how much do sun-cured cigarettes sold by private workshops in the lower and middle nests cost?
Li Nuo searched the database and received a rather surprising answer.
There are no private workshops producing sun-cured cigarettes in the lower and middle nests!
This type of cigarette is only produced in the upper nest.
"Why is this? It doesn't make sense. Sun-cured cigarettes are so easy to make, even if the middle nest residents don't like them, the private workshops in the lower nest should be interested. Is the raw material supply monopolized?"
Li Nuo had some guesses in his mind, his brow furrowed slightly.
A monopoly on raw materials would be the worst situation.
If that's the case, he would have to switch tracks.
"Crackling sound."
After typing on the keyboard, the search results were displayed on the communicator's interface.
Li Nuo read it carefully, his brow relaxing.
The raw materials were not monopolized, but the yield had shrunk drastically due to a disease disaster, so that only the upper nest with the best medical conditions had production.
A tobacco leaf called White Ridge Tobacco appeared on the screen of the communicator.
The leaves are thin, shaped like ginkgo leaves, and have a faint amber color. The midrib is white, very obvious, looking like a white spine, hence the name White Ridge Tobacco.
The origin of White Ridge Tobacco is the Nest Capital.
Originally, the sun-cured cigarettes made from it were popular throughout the Nest Capital, but starting three years ago, several large-scale disease disasters almost destroyed the entire White Ridge Tobacco industry.
First, the TMV-30K tobacco mosaic virus broke out on a large scale. Before it could be cured, bacterial wilt of tobacco appeared and spread rapidly.
After barely suppressing the spread of bacterial wilt, a series of diseases such as red star disease, nematode disease, anthracnose, and frog-eye spot followed.
Thus, after repeated blows, the extremely heavy treatment costs overwhelmed most of the estates. Currently, there is only one estate in the entire Nest Capital that has survived, located in the second district of the upper nest.
However, this estate has not become the ultimate winner.
It is still fighting against stubborn bacteria, and the healthy tobacco leaves produced each year are only 10% of what they were three years ago.
"Let me see, what is the origin of the bacteria currently plaguing the estate."
Li Nuo moved his fingers, clicked on the Nest Capital News, and found a picture.
In the picture, the White Ridge Tobacco turned from amber to dark purple, and clear light gray circular spots appeared on the leaves. The original white midrib became black lines twisted like centipedes.
Li Nuo supported his cheek and thought.
"The outline of the lesions caused by bacterial diseases are blurred, but the gray spots in the picture show a regular circular shape, and the outline is also very clear. Therefore, the disease that White Ridge Tobacco is suffering from is likely caused by fungi. This is within my ability."
Li Nuo realized his opportunity had come.
He found the White Fruit Estate selling White Ridge Tobacco in the "Commodity Procurement" interface and called the estate manager.
After a conversation, Li Nuo successfully scammed a box of diseased White Ridge Tobacco leaves.
Before long, the tobacco leaves were delivered to the door and brought into the basement by Brandy.
Brandy was stunned for a long time in the face of the suddenly empty warehouse, and a buzzing sound of electricity came from her head, as if she was so surprised that she was about to burn out the internal circuits.
"Calm down, Brandy, calm down." Li Nuo smiled and winked:
"I have an ancient technology item that I can use to store scientific research equipment. Keep it a secret for me, okay?"
"...Yes, Master. I will keep this secret." Brandy folded her hands in front of her and bowed:
"I'm sorry, Master. I was distracted just now because of a malfunction in the logic circuit's algorithm. I have listed your secret as a top secret matter and added it to the whitelist of logic detection. I will not make the same mistake again in the future. I'll go out first. Please feel free to tell me what you need."
Brandy turned and left.
Li Nuo was satisfied with the reaction of this female machine servant.
Let's get down to business.
"Cast Identification on the diseased White Ridge Tobacco leaves."
【Identification successful.】
【Name: Diseased White Ridge Tobacco Leaves】
【Description:】
【These tobacco leaves can only grow in warm and humid conditions, and require high soil fertility and light.】
【It is suffering from fungal diseases.】
"It really is a fungal disease."
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the tobacco leaves in the glass jar and said in his heart:
"Activate the fungal simulation function and isolate the pathogenic bacteria from the diseased tobacco leaves."
【Simulation object set.】
【Please set the experimental parameters and steps.】
Li Nuo pondered:
"First, perform multi-point sampling, wash the surface of the sample with sterile water, prepare 75% alcohol, soak the sample in it for about 60 seconds, and then wash it again with sterile water.
"Cut the cleaned sample into pieces, and use the dilution coating plate method for preliminary separation. After colonies form on the culture medium, use a holographic microscope with an automated inoculation box to pick out pathogenic bacteria for separate culture."
【Experimental parameters and steps set.】
【Automatic simulation enabled.】
【Start automatic simulation.】
【…】
【Automatic simulation failed.】
【Please click here to view the simulation process. Adjust the parameters and re-simulate.】
"Ah? Simulation failed?"
Li Nuo was stunned, not expecting the simulation result.
The feeling was as absurd as a graduate student taking an elementary school exam and ending up with a zero score.
"How could it fail? My experimental steps and simulation parameters were all in accordance with standardized procedures..."
Li Nuo frowned and clicked on the simulation process.
His eyes scanned the massive amount of system text, and one message appeared repeatedly, immediately catching Li Nuo's attention.
The newest novels are first published on 6\\_9\\_shu\\_ba!
[Please note: The sample disappeared during inoculation. Sample inoculation failed.]
This system message was very strange.
From collecting the sample to cultivating the sample, there were no problems in these steps.
Only the inoculation step showed an abnormal phenomenon.
When the system used a holographic microscope to find the pathogenic bacteria on the culture medium plate and was about to pick it out with an inoculation needle,
The pathogenic bacteria disappeared!
Yes!
It just disappeared!
As soon as the inoculation needle touched the surface of the pathogenic bacteria, it inexplicably vanished!
Such a counter-intuitive scene made Li Nuo's hair stand on end.
Suddenly, he thought of the observer effect in the field of quantum mechanics.
The act of "observing the experimental object" itself will affect the experimental object.
This is the explanation of the observer effect.
Schrödinger's cat is also based on this principle.
The situation he is encountering now is similar to this.
The difference is that the observer effect describes the relationship between "observation" and "experimental object."
But the situation he encountered was that once the pathogenic bacteria were "inoculated", the pathogenic bacteria would disappear.
Applying the naming logic of the observer effect, the phenomenon occurring now can be called the inoculator effect.
"What is the principle behind this? Could the pathogenic bacteria be quantum organisms? That's too ridiculous."
Li Nuo crossed his arms and frowned in thought.
He adopted a manual operation method, personally controlling the simulation process, and conducting the experiment step by step.
Soon, the simulation advanced to the inoculation step.
Looking at the microorganisms on the holographic image, Li Nuo chose to directly activate the analyze fungi function on it.
[Analysis successful.]
[Name: Pathogenic Bacteria of Unknown Name]
[Analysis Results:]
[Nurgle's Rot, modified by the hand of Nurgle, its toxicity only works on a very small number of plants and is harmless to humans.]
[Plants infected with this substance will exhibit a certain degree of disease, and the symptoms are particularly obvious on Whiteleaf.]
[The growth and reproduction of Nurgle's Rot depends on warp energy. The system's simulation space cannot temporarily provide this energy. You can only cultivate this mold outside.]
[The biggest feature of this object is the "warp superposition state." It can be observed by the material universe, but cannot be captured by the material universe.]
[When you try to inoculate and cultivate it, it will immediately return to the warp, preventing you from conducting in-depth research on it.]
Li Nuo had already known that warp organisms could not be cultivated in the simulation space for the time being.
When he saw the words "warp superposition state," he was petrified on the spot!
After a long time, Li Nuo slowly uttered, "Holy moly."
Father Nurgle's love is truly everywhere.
He had come all the way to the upper hive, and he could still find Nurgle's creations.
By the way, does this fungus have a spore ability?
Li Nuo calmed his mind and continued to check the panel.
As a few lines of text entered his vision, his pupils suddenly contracted!
[Spore Ability: Warp Walk]
[Ability Description:]
[You fade out of the material universe and enter the surface of the warp. In the material universe, you are in an invisible state and a wall-penetrating state, with no physical collision volume. You can ignore obstacles and are immune to any damage from the material universe. However, you will emit spatial signals from the warp, which will be detected by people and things with warp recognition abilities.]
[Unlock Requirement: 100 Skill Points.]
[Nurgle has corrupted this mold. Cut off the mold's connection with Nurgle to remove the chaos corruption and complete the domestication of the mold.]
[After successful domestication, the unlock requirement is reduced to 1 Skill Point.]
[The domestication process will not alert Nurgle.]
[Do not forcibly unlock and use this spore ability before domestication is complete! Otherwise, terrible consequences will occur!]
Ecstasy, bewilderment.
Two completely different emotions collided fiercely in Li Nuo's mind, making his expression extremely complicated, comparable to an overturned paint bucket.
Although Warp Walk has its drawbacks, it is undeniable that its wall-penetrating function and damage immunity are extremely powerful, definitely a T0-level spore ability.
But how can he cut off the fungus's connection with Nurgle?
