Wizard: I Can Synthesis Everything-Chapter 357 - 321 [Universal L-Type Electromagnetic Magic Mecha]
Chapter 357: Chapter 321 [Universal L-Type Electromagnetic Magic Mecha]
...
The laboratory built within the Headquarters on Thorny Star cost Lin Suo a fortune and definitely belongs to the top tier.
Whether it’s Witchcraft Runes or scientific equipment, everything was purchased to the highest standards, or custom-made to suit specific needs, such as culture media, which he synthesized and upgraded himself.
The "Mycelium" that Iris had acquired from Treasure Hunting was growing in the greenhouse, specially constructed for the growth of fungi.
Now, looking at it again, it was completely different from when it was first built.
On the way to the greenhouse.
One after another, red housekeeping assistants crawled on the floor and walls, neatly carrying various items in an orderly fashion.
Since he created the 1.0 version of the housekeeping assistant, Iris had upgraded them, and the 2.0 version was called "Miscellaneous Assistant".
The palms looked a bit creepy.
"Rhein mentor, I copied the genetic sequence you gave me and then fitted them with integrated chips, so they can be uniformly allocated through Tower Spirit ’Zero Zero One’."
"The laboratory is much busier than before."
"Not bad."
Lin Suo nodded, to give credit where credit is due, Iris’s Research Talent was really good.
"We’ve arrived at the greenhouse."
As the Gate Valve opened, the metal doors hissed and slid open to both sides.
A large fungarium of about three thousand square meters came into view.
A layer of mist covered the ground, and the pale yellow translucent fungi, sprawling like coral branches, occupied almost everywhere.
The walls, the ceiling, the floor...
"Is this the ’Mycelium’ you cultivated?"
"Yes."
Iris’s face was filled with excitement.
"This mycelium has extreme Undying properties. It can’t be killed by high temperatures, freezing, or electrolysis."
"If you use witchcraft, only an Upper Grade Wizard’s casting can cut off its vitality."
"It has its side effects, though. It proliferates very slowly, needing to be fed raw flesh to speed up growth, and this fungus has a sweet tooth—it parasites living organisms, like the ’Kunbite Worm’."
The ’Kunbite Worm’ is a common soldier from the Void Worm Race, resembling an enlarged version of a praying mantis but with a much plumper body, its chitinous brown armor adorned with purple lines indicative of the Void.
Currently, it was confined in a reinforced glass cage.
However, there were things Lin Suo did not understand.
"Parasitic?"
"Correct. It looks like Symbiosis, but it’s actually parasitic. Unlike a Demon symbiont, ’Mycelium’ has no cognitive ability, just an instinct to feed, and it’s very demanding in terms of compatibility conditions. We’re still looking for a suitable host for benign mutation."
Lin Suo pondered.
"So you’re interested in the Void Worm Race’s ’Adaptive Evolution’ ability, to increase the success rate of their combination?"
"Exactly." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Iris became a bit fanatical at this point.
"Mentor, once the parasitic problem of the ’Mycelium’ is solved, and if we introduce it as a beneficial fungus in the Beastman Bloodline, it could give the Beastman Army an almost Undying recovery ability, which is extraordinary."
This point was undeniable.
Lin Suo had her research this exactly for its Undying properties.
——Clap, Clap!
Iris clapped her hands, and several red palms carrying chunks of raw meat and sugar cubes walked in, tossing them from above into the glass cage, where the ’Kunbite Worm’ didn’t hesitate at all and pounced directly on the sugar cubes.
Iris continued.
"After being parasitized by ’Mycelium,’ this Kunbite Worm’s innate habits have changed drastically, only favoring sweets, with raw meat serving merely as a breeding ground."
As she spoke, the Kunbite Worm’s abdomen quickly extended thin strands of mycelium that landed on the chunks of raw meat, splitting at an almost visible rate.
The boost in proliferation rate from the raw meat was unbelievably large.
"As you can see, aside from the exacting conditions for parasitism, it’s not a beneficial fungus—it will cause the host’s flesh to be replaced by the fungus. The moment the flesh is completely devoured, the host becomes a puppet."
"With only the instinct to feed, like the living dead."
"Hmm..."
This project could only be said to have a lot of potential but also many challenges. Forcing a synthesis would result in his entire Beastman Army turning into mindless living corpses.
How to change the nature of this ’Mycelium’ was the critical issue; compatibility was not something Lin Suo found particularly challenging.
"Is it contagious?"
"No, it’s only interested in corpses, but deliberately cutting a wound and contacting the fungus will result in parasitic reactions. If you survive, on average within 30 minutes, it turns into a puppet."
"If not, within an average of 20 minutes, it becomes a mass of fungi."
Lin Suo looked at the fungi covering the ground in surprise.
"They all came from there?"
"Yes, we’ve tried with various races, only the Void Worm Race resisted."
"Got it. Send this live sample to the lab, I’ll personally operate on it later."
’Mycelium’ was Lin Suo’s next transformation project for the Beastman Army, after the initial "Magic Energy Heart"—"Evil Blood"—"Fighting Energy Knight", which had already gone through three revisions.
In the meantime, a "Demon symbiont" was added. Lin Suo was using the symbionts as intelligent Alchemy Prosthetic, not robust enough to equip the entire army.
Next was "Mycelium Transformation" + "Magic Mecha" combination.
It could turn the Beastmen from Cosmic Ants into a formidable army second to none. If there was still anything lacking, he could keep modifying, which was not an immediate concern.
