Although believers like to praise gods and call them omnipotent, in fact gods are not omnipotent.
For example, almost every god in the world can trace the past, but only a handful of gods can see the future clearly.
The future is confusing, like a thick fog that makes it difficult to see clearly. It's better when you stay out of the situation, especially when you are in the middle of it. Even if you have the ability to know everything, you can't see the future direction clearly.
The God of the Water Element is almost the most advanced being in the field of powerful divine power. He is also the oldest among the gods in the world today, and may even be the oldest great being in the world. But even He couldn't see clearly what his future would be.
If He had the so-called "eyes that see into the future," then why would he go to great lengths to design a maelstrom that could shield the eyes of the great divine power, so that he could dare to talk about those secrets with Sui Xiong inside
What's more, if He can really see through the future, then there is no need to put a lot of effort into finding a way to break through the limits of powerful divine power. He can just look at the future to find a way to enter great divine power.
From this perspective, perhaps even the legendary God of Destiny who can see the future clearly is not that magical.
The God of Runes is relatively powerful among the dwarf gods. He is currently at the level of medium-level divine power close to its peak. As long as he works harder or twice more, he will be able to reach the level of powerful divine power.
Once he stepped into the powerful divine power, there were two powerful gods among the dwarf gods. At that time, I believe that the human gods will carefully consider whether to continue to encourage the Kingdom of Thousand Springs to continue attacking the Dwarf Kingdom located in the Duanyun Mountains. It is true that at the mortal level, the dwarves are completely unable to defeat the Kingdom of Thousand Springs, but under the power of the gods, On the level, the dwarf pantheon with two powerful gods is no match that can be forced to death.
After all, the close enemies of the human gods are always the orc gods. If there is only one powerful god among the dwarf gods, even if an accident occurs, the human gods will have a way to deal with it. But if there are two powerful gods, plus the orc gods, God's trump card, everyone is fighting to the death. Even if the human gods win, it will be a miserable victory. It is just that a certain oriole took advantage.
Therefore, for the current dwarves, they have to either find a way to fight against humans at the mortal level, or let the Rune God step into powerful divine power. Other than that, there is no third way out of the predicament.
The Rune God soon returned to the dwarf pantheon and told everyone in detail what he had seen and heard.
"Replacing manpower with machinery... can indeed greatly reduce the pressure caused by insufficient manpower in production." Among the dwarf gods, the "King of the Hill" who presides over state affairs pondered for a long time and nodded. "It's a good idea and worth it. Learn and promote!”
"This is a huge favor!" Although theoretically he should be immortal, the "old man" who has aged like an old tree stump and doesn't even move much at ordinary times sighed and said, "Friends are good to us. , we must keep it in our hearts. We must find ways to repay Him.”
The gods nodded solemnly together, but when they discussed how to repay, they were all at a loss.
When it comes to money, everyone knows how wealthy the Northwest Republic is. Not to mention anything else, the prize money given out every ten or twenty years in the World's Best Martial Arts Tournament will attract the envy of countless people. It is said that Leo, the champion of the third World's Best Martial Arts Tournament not so long ago, has been On the way back to the Mechanical Realm from Void City, he encountered more than twenty robberies. If his friend Philo hadn't persuaded him to ask for help from His Majesty the Mask of the Void, he would have lost his life on the road, not to mention the bonus. .
... That is a strong man who is about to enter the legend! It can be imagined that the amount of money is huge.
Does the Northwest Republic, which can provide such a bonus every ten or twenty years, still care about money
Besides money, the dwarves are most proud of their forging skills. About one-third of the most famous artifacts in the world today were made by dwarves. It would also be a good way to repay His Majesty the Mask of the Void by creating a powerful artifact.
But to be honest, no one thinks that someone as powerful as His Majesty Void Mask needs any artifact.
This is not to say that Sui Xiong does not need weapons, but... a guy whose unique skill is to self-destruct two bursts, even if he is given all the artifacts in the world, what is the use? Sui Xiong's self-destruction was too powerful, and no artifact could be preserved in that kind of self-destruction.
This is like the famous self-destructing car charge on the earth. It is used to explode anyway. Who would use a million-dollar luxury car to explode like that? A small truck that is durable and cheap is good, and a van is not bad either. If it doesn’t work for small off-road vehicles, it’s fine...
The second path also didn't work. The dwarf gods looked at me and you, and they were a little confused.
Facing a friend who was not short of money but also powerful, they really couldn't think of any good way to repay him.
In fact, everyone knows that the Northwest Republic is currently short of population, so short that it has even reached the point where skeletons are summoned in large numbers to serve as labor force. However, the Dwarf Kingdom is also short of population, and the shortage is even more severe than that of the Northwest Republic - the Northwest Republic only lacks workers, while the Dwarf Kingdom lacks soldiers.
If we are short of workers, we can wait and deal with it. If we delay the less important projects, it will be over. But if we are short of soldiers, we can't wait and deal with it.
In other words, the Dwarf Kingdom wanted to wait, but the Kingdom of Thousand Springs refused to agree!
After some discussion, the "old elder" finally proposed the most reliable method: "They should lack excellent craftsmen and technicians. After we adopt their method, we can save a group of manpower and send them over to help them." Training craftsmen is also a way of showing your appreciation."
"Of course, this is not enough to repay Him for helping us. But it's better than nothing, right?"
The dwarf gods discussed it for a while and then approved this suggestion.
Immediately afterwards, the dwarf kingdom began large-scale industrial reforms.
The first is mineral processing. Although the dwarves cannot make an electromagnet mineral concentrator because they don't have Sui Xiong's special iron, they can buy it directly from Sui Xiong.
Because of the large scale of mining, the dwarf gods ordered a hundred mineral concentrators at once.
If this large order were to be completed by a mere mortal, it would not necessarily be completed within a year and a half. But no matter the dwarf gods or Sui Xiong, no one planned to go through the mortal channel - the dwarves couldn't wait that long, so Sui Xiong simply took matters into his own hands and finished the batch of mineral concentrators in just a few days. He even He also visited the kingdom of the dwarf gods again and delivered goods to his door.
Door-to-door delivery has almost become a necessity for merchants to do large-scale transactions on earth. If you don't buy something online for your wife and children, you still have to ask for "free shipping." When the mobile company advertised, it started with "the door faces the sea, spring flowers are blooming, four-megabit broadband, and you can order takeout"... In short, for Sui Xiong, it was a matter of course.
But the dwarf gods were moved again, making Sui Xiong laugh and lament the backwardness of the world's service industry.
After beneficiation, there is the furnace.
The quality of the dwarves' iron ore is very good, and they have their own furnaces suitable for them. Although they cannot produce the special steel of the Northwest Republic, ordinary steel is enough.
Transforming the furnace cannot be done overnight, and the dwarves cannot wait.
After the furnace, there is the hydraulic press. This is not a problem. There are many rivers in the Duanyun Mountain Range, enough to build several hydraulic presses. And this thing really has no technical content, it is a simple trick. The God of Runes just took a look at it and completely understood its structure.
Finally, it is manufactured in parts and then assembled overall.
This was Sui Xiong's advice to them. In his opinion, the production methods currently adopted by the dwarves are still too traditional - for example, to make a piece of armor. Their method is for a craftsman to take several assistants to personally build the armor. various parts and then assemble them by hand.
There's nothing wrong with this approach, it's just too slow.
At Sui Xiong's suggestion, the dwarves changed the production process. They divided the craftsmen into several groups, each group produced a certain component of the armor, and finally assembled them together.
As a result, the production efficiency was greatly improved, which made the dwarves marvel.
Originally, increasing the speed often meant lowering the quality, but after using Sui Xiong's method, the speed was increased without any decrease in quality. On the contrary, as the craftsmen only focused on a specific component, the quality of the products was getting better and better. .
Sui Xiong stayed with the dwarf gods for half a month. When he left, he not only took with him the thanks of the dwarf gods and the friendship of the dwarf clan, but also brought with him a group of senior craftsmen and craftsmen from the dwarf kingdom in the mountains. technician.
