I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 350 Palu Web Dao Seminar

Exploring the expanded regions of the End Age, observing the experiments of Pad and Pad II, the days pass by quickly.

half a month later.

In the open space in front of the shaman's hut in Palu Village, Li Nuo and a group of Palu boys sat on the ground.

"Pad, could you first describe the experimental status of the subspace energy compressor?"

"Yes, sir."

Pad, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, stood up, walked to the center of the circle formed by the crowd, looked around, and said:

"Guys, enough chit-chat, let's see the effects of the latest generation compressor."

Pad gestured to Pampa in the amniotic fluid tank, "Help me present the scene of the subspace."

“Okay.” Pampa nodded, closed his eyes, and displayed the subspace scene he observed on the holographic projection.

The holographic device was suspended in the air, projecting a holographic image onto the ground, which was positioned directly in front of Pad.

Pad sat down to avoid blocking the view of the boys around him.

In the video, a giant device resembling Mao Ge Da Kong is in operation.

It spread its arms, turned its head forward, and opened its mouth wide, making a roaring gesture.

Subspace energy is drawn into the device through a super cool siphon engine in the "nasal cavity." The technician in charge of operating the device opens the "chest cavity" of the device, exposing its intricate structure for everyone on site to observe.

Red, blue, purple, and green subspace energies flowed through the energy channels like docile lambs.

After passing through the filter, the energy of the four colors enters the four pipelines respectively, without any mixing.

They were each placed into four pretreatment containers, where they were "sterilized" by a low concentration of anti-psychic medium.

The target of "disinfection" is not germs or other pollutants in the real universe, but the emotions contained in subspace energy.

To prevent the anti-psychic medium from excessively neutralizing subspace energy, the duration of the "elimination" must be precisely controlled.

In about 10 seconds, the first batch of subspace energy was "eliminated".

Before entering the device, the volume of this subspace energy was 1005 cubic meters.

After the "disinfection" was completed, its volume dropped to exactly 1000 cubic meters, demonstrating the Pad team's extremely precise calculation skills.

Applause erupted, but quickly subsided, and the crowd continued watching the demonstration.

After the "disinfection" was completed, the subspace energy in the four pipelines became pure and clear, without a trace of emotion.

They gather in the energy hub and are compressed by a three-stage particle accelerator.

In the first stage of compression, the shock wave formed by the single crystal powder will squeeze the subspace energy into the mold in a manner similar to blow molding, roughly compressing it into a plate shape.

In the second stage of compression, a single-crystal hammer strikes the subspace energy plate, causing its microstructure to become loose while maintaining its plate-like appearance.

The third compression is also the most crucial one.

A pulse of anti-psychic medium at a specific frequency reshapes the microstructure of the subspace energy plate, manually arranging energy particles.

Due to the use of anti-psychic medium, subspace energy loss will occur during the third stage of compression.

After about a minute of waiting, the three-stage compression process was completed.

The device's "mouth" spews out a stream of air, releasing the subspace energy compressed into a single crystal plate.

The technician measured the single-crystal plate and obtained a series of data:
The total volume is 400 cubic meters.

The 1005 cubic meters of subspace energy was compressed into a single crystal of 400 cubic meters, which translates to 2000 tons in mass. The compression rate was 40%, a 10% increase compared to the initial 30% at the start of the experiment. This is commendable.

Pad then demonstrated the effect of rapidly compressing large quantities of subspace energy.

Ten compressor units work together at full capacity for three hours.

While waiting for the results, Parde came to the center of the room and introduced his team's experimental results.

Pard and Pard II are of the same lineage, possessing the style and personality of Rand.

After Parde took the stage, he immediately began his live demonstration without saying a word.

A second holographic image appeared before everyone, this time set in the real universe.

It was a space outpost built with single crystals. Every piece of the outer armor was a single crystal, thus forming a closed space that excluded many negative factors such as cosmic background radiation and subspace interference.

Meanwhile, because it is located in the real universe, the psionic rituals at this outpost can communicate with the warp, although the effect is somewhat weakened by the presence of the monocrystalline shell.

At the heart of the outpost was a giant green mushroom.

Its height is one kilometer, and the diameter of the mushroom stem is about five hundred meters, while the diameter of the mushroom stem is about two hundred meters. It looks both slender and sturdy.

Standing beneath the mushroom and looking up, the shimmering fluorescent spores within the gills are particularly eye-catching.

Two teams of Palu Kids appeared on either side of the giant mushroom.

One team wore blue armor, and the other team wore red.

The two sides exchanged fire using heavy bomb guns, and the fighting was fierce.

"boom!"

The red team's orcs suffered casualties; one unlucky player was hit in the goggles and died on the spot.

The camera angle is upwards.

The giant mushroom's wrinkles emitted a faint green light, and luminous threads moved along the wrinkles, converging on one of the fluorescent spores.

The spore rapidly enlarges and eventually falls off naturally like a ripe apple, performing a free fall.

Here comes the exciting part.

As the spores fall, many small holes open on the mycelial stem, allowing various substances that promote spore growth, such as alchemical agents, alchemical mists, and alchemical syringes, to be precisely sprayed onto the spores.

A dozen seconds later, the spore fell to the ground, and it had already turned into a small mushroom with a cap.

Its canopy has been genetically modified to have a porous, high-damping structure that uses friction to mitigate the impact of descent.

After the mushroom lands, it "blooms and bears fruit" within five seconds, and a brand new Red Team Orc Boy is born.

His bio-armor and bio-weapons provided him with the most basic protection.

On the surface of the bio-armor, there is a protrusion that resembles a mechanical lock. When this thing emits a pulse wave onto the corpse on the ground, the power armor on the corpse automatically detaches, disintegrates into parts, and is then bound by the micro-traction field of the protrusion, quickly assembling onto the orc boy's bio-armor.

From the moment the Red team suffered casualties to the moment they were reinstated, only about three minutes passed. This infantry speed can only be described as astonishing.

Of course, in actual combat, the speed of recruitment will be greatly reduced.

On the one hand, the battle site is generally not directly under the giant mushroom, and it takes some time for reinforcements to arrive at the battle site.

On the other hand, the environmental parameters of the giant mushroom may not be ideal. The current environmental parameters are standard atmospheric pressure, normal temperature, Terra gravity, and zero psionic interference. In actual combat, each additional interfering factor would slow down the recruitment speed by at least half.

Regardless, the results of Pard's experiment are commendable; this giant mushroom is essentially a green version of an infinite circuit.

"Clap clap-"

Everyone applauded in celebration.

The next step is to wait for a while and observe the effects of the subspace energy compressors operating at full capacity in batches.

Li Nuo raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said:

"The purpose of this gathering is not only to examine the results of the Pad and Pad II experiments, but also to discuss an important matter with you all."

Lino gestured to Paccardo.

Pakado understood immediately, stood up, walked to the center of the room, and recounted how the Weasel and Pointy Ears transferred the power of the evil god to the Age of Rebellion. He then announced the plan for the Riparu Empire to enter the Age of End.

The plan currently only has a framework and core points, and the rest needs to be supplemented. This is also the purpose of Li Nuo calling everyone together for a brainstorming session today.

Paccard sat down, and Lino spoke.

"Before the majority of the Palu Empire's members relocate there, our pioneering forces must first establish the Palu Web. I'd like to ask you all, what flaws do you see in the Ancient Saints' Web?"

Li Nuo scanned his surroundings. The boys whose gaze swept over him were eager to try, seemingly already dissatisfied with the Ancient Saint's Net Dao.

“Alright, let’s go one by one. Elon, you are the commander of the garrison of Palu’s homeland, guarding our country. I’d like to hear your opinion first.”

Aaron sat in the last row of the group—he was just too tall.

He pounded his chest and said:

"Sir, the weapon system of the Ancient Saint Network is very unreliable. Its control permissions have serious loopholes, yet so many people can use it. I think if we want to install strategic weapons in the Palu Network, control must be in your hands!"

Airon's tone was indignant, indicating that he still harbored resentment over the last time the Pointy Ears besieged Palu's Home.

Li Nuo nodded:

“Aero is right. The strategic weapons and other strategic facilities of the Palu Network must be under my control. Beast, what are your thoughts?”

The beast crossed its arms, mimicking the pose of a thinker, and said thoughtfully:

"Boss, I think the Ancient Sacred Network is too inefficient. Compared to warp travel, it is indeed very fast, but still not fast enough. I just recently came up with an idea."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Okay, boss, I'll demonstrate it for you using a holographic model. It's hard to explain in just a few words."

The beast stood up and went to the panel of the holographic device to operate it:

“My remains come from a gantry crane, which is an engineering facility used to quickly move containers. Perhaps we can build the Palu Network into a gantry crane combined with many containers.”

The third holographic image appears.

The beast placed a gantry in the picture, with containers piled up on both sides like low mountains.

"Let's say we've assembled a force in container A. This force's destination is container Z. These two containers are tens of thousands of light-years apart. If we take the Ancient Net, the force in container A must first find an efficient path to reach container Z, which will take a lot of time."

The beast pressed the button on the full-time device, and the gantry crane in the frame began to move:
"Suppose that our Palu network has a command and control center that can operate the gantry to grab container A and place it near Z, temporarily connecting the spaces inside the two containers. Then the troops in container A can reach their destination without having to scout routes or travel long distances."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Pad and Pad exchanged a glance and whispered to each other, their expressions somewhat agitated.

The beast said:
"There are two advantages to this design. First, the top leader has all the authority to dispatch and command, so there's no need to worry about the Palu network being occupied by junk. Second, transportation is quick and convenient, and the combat troops no longer need to undertake reconnaissance work, allowing them to focus on combat. As for the downside, I think the design of the 'gantry' is quite difficult; in any case, I can't come up with a design solution."

Li Nuo smiled and said:
"Not bad, Beast, your idea has good feasibility. Pad, Pad2d, what do you think?"

The beast returned to its seat.

Pad and Pad II stood up simultaneously and said in unison:
"Big Brother, the Beast Boss's conjecture is actually a mature theory in the field of communications called 'cross-node all-to-all communication technology,' which is mainly used in ultra-high-speed, high-throughput, and low-latency communication schemes between Thinker arrays."

When it comes to specialized knowledge, the Palu boys start to get confused.

Fortunately, as a "modern person," Li Nuo has a relatively high capacity for accepting human technology and is able to keep up with the two's line of thought:

"Well, let me elaborate, but try to keep it simple."

“Okay, boss, I'll introduce you, and Parde will cover for you.”

Pad and Pad divided the work: one went to the center of the field, and the other operated the panel of the holographic device.

Simply put:
"In cross-node communication, communication between nodes is accomplished using different gantry structures, while communication within a node utilizes the ancient network channel method. Simultaneously, within each node, gantry structures capable of moving across nodes are configured, and the gantry structure responsible for inter-node communication manages the overall scheduling..."

The Palu kids were completely bewildered, as if they were listening to gibberish.

Li Nuo was also feeling dizzy and confused.

Adhering to the principle of "leaving professional matters to professionals and non-professionals should refrain from interfering," Li Nuo asked:
"Pad, how do you think this plan compares to the Ancient Sacred Network in terms of construction difficulty and maintenance costs?"

"Boss, the implementation difficulty of cross-node full-to-full communication technology is actually lower than that of the Ancient Saint Network, but its maintenance cost is higher than that of the Ancient Saint Network. As a trade-off, the efficiency of this technology is about fifteen times that of the Ancient Saint Network, and its efficiency is 50% lower than that of the Flushing device that uses quantum entanglement technology to achieve ultra-long-distance deployment, but its operating cost is at least 90% lower than that of Flushing."

Talk is cheap; we need experimental results to prove it.

"If we start the experiment now, how long will it take you two to get the results?" Li Nuo asked.

Pad glanced at the subspace energy compressor that was performing mass compression:
"Sir, there are still a little over two hours until the end of the compressor mass production experiment. We can build a simple Palu network device for you within two hours and demonstrate its effects on site."

Li Nuo raised an eyebrow. "Alright, then you two get to work. We can use this time to discuss the development plan for the End Era."

"Okay, boss."

Pad and Pad II used data tablets to send messages, remotely directing the team to conduct experiments.

Two hours later, a "star torch" radiating green light rose from the ground in the holographic display, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth...
