Of course, what Sui Xiong wants to do is not to invent a machine that can work stably in water.
With his somewhat meager engineering knowledge, in order for the machine to work stably in water, it needs to be waterproofed. Waterproofing is usually accomplished through a waterproof coating. However, no matter how the machinery used to grind bedrock is coated with waterproof material, the grinding part will definitely wear out quickly.
After all, bedrock is so hard that it is not inferior to steel. Sui Xiong really couldn't think of anything that could be used to grind them, but he didn't have to worry about wear and tear at all.
Oh, there is indeed such a thing, Oliha Gang.
Use Oliha Gang to build a grinding machine... It's not that Sui Xiong couldn't find so many Oliha Gang, but he felt that if he really built such a grinding machine, the dwarves would not only not be able to see it but If you are happy, you will be angry.
"What a waste of natural resources", that's what they would say.
No, maybe they will directly suffer a cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction. After all, the stimulation is a little too strong for them.
Oliha Gang is almost the hardest thing in the world. In most cases, only powerful gods like Sui Xiong can collect it to create those powerful artifacts. Weaker gods can only be obtained through trading and other methods, and the quantity is not very large. Therefore, some mid- to low-level artifacts and even inferior artifacts often do not have Oliha Gang on them, and even if they do, there are only a few. A little bit less, use it in the most critical places.
Mortals sometimes get a little bit of Oriha Gang due to good luck, but mortals don't have the ability to process it, so they can generally only be viewed as gems. A long time ago, there was a lucky strong man who got a piece of Oliha Gang that was shaped like a dagger. Although he could not sharpen it until his death, he used this indestructible dagger to fight. Such a big name.
The dwarf kingdom also received some Oriha Gang, which they regarded as the most precious sacrifices to the gods they believed in, and they often received good rewards.
If Sui Xiong really gave them a grinding machine just made by Oliha, maybe they wouldn't use it to grind bedrock, but would use it as a sacrifice...
Since Olihagang couldn't be used to build a grinder, Sui Xiong had no choice. So it didn't take him long to decide that he couldn't help in this regard.
What he was thinking about was, could there be another way to grind the bedrock? Don't use this ultra-inefficient method
He tried to find several materials to use as grinders, but found that they were either not hard enough, or too valuable, and lacked practicality. On one occasion, the bedrock was accidentally ground too finely, causing an explosion. If he hadn't been strong enough, he might have been blown up to death.
After several failures, Sui Xiong found that there seemed to be something wrong with his thinking.
All he thought about was finding suitable new materials. However, the Dwarf Kingdom has been studying this thing for decades. What materials have not been used? If a material is so rare that the dwarf kingdom can't get it, then what's the point of making a suitable grinder out of it
It's like using an Oliha steel to make a grinder. It's definitely hard and strong, but it's not practical at all.
Then what should be done
Sui Xiong fell into thinking.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow the old rules and find people who are really good at doing things.
Who are the people who are really good at it
Of course it's Palin and the others.
But just when Sui Xiong was about to go find Palin and the others, he suddenly thought of the chef Fela.
That guy's fortune has been astonishingly strong recently, as if he was going to pick up money while walking and draw a handful of flashing gold cards. However, his actual behavior was very ordinary. Even when he had nothing to do, he played guessing games and gambled with his friends, but he did not take advantage of him.
This doesn't look like you have particularly good luck at all.
Could it be that...his luck is not actually used in daily life, but is saved up to eventually make big news
If that's the case, maybe you can give him a try.
Sui Xiong is not an engineering student, but he has heard a story that the most important thing in invention and creation is luck, or inspiration. A reporter once interviewed Edison, the inventor king, and asked him why he could come up with so many inventions. Is it because of his genius? Edison's answer at the time was that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, but when comparing the two, the latter is decisive.
He has heard two other versions of this story. The first version was told to him by his parents and teachers when he was a child. It did not include the second half of the sentence, which emphasized sweat. The second version was said by a netizen in the Game Guild, saying that Edison was actually bragging. Most of his inventions were directly acquired. For this guy, the key to genius is to be able to do business and have money.
Sui Xiong naturally didn't know which version was true, but he felt that luck must be very important. For example, before he traveled through time, the country happened to honor a hydrogen bomb pioneer who had hidden his identity for many years. He came up with a hydrogen bomb structure that was completely different from foreign countries. Naturally, there was a lot of sweat involved, but luck must also be very important, otherwise it would never be possible. Could it be that the level of that scientist is so high that no one in the world can compare with him? Reality is not a fantasy novel!
So when he thought of Fela, he couldn't help but change his mind.
That night, Fela had a strange dream while sleeping. He dreamed that he was walking up a mountain, and there was a luminous man on the mountain who gave him some hard stones and asked him to try to grind these stones into the finest powder possible.
When he woke up, he really saw these stones beside his bed.
"Apocalypse? Or something else?" Fela looked at the stones with some confusion, tried to pick up one, and rubbed it on the stone used to pad the foot of the bed.
An obvious white mark was scratched out on the stone, but the stone remained unscathed.
"Why is it so hard?" He was surprised, found a piece of steel, and rubbed it hard again.
There were also obvious scratches on the steel, but there were only very shallow and inconspicuous marks on the stone.
"Oh my god! This thing is almost as hard as steel!" Fela murmured to herself, "How can I grind it into pieces? It's impossible..."
So he put down these stones and stopped thinking about such things.
That night, he had another dream. In the dream, he still reached the top of the mountain, and the glowing figure once again told him to grind the stone into powder.
"But the stone is too hard!" he argued, "it can't be polished at all."
The glowing figure just smiled, but he immediately understood what the figure meant.
If it was really that easy, how could he get this good thing in his turn
After waking up, Fela thought for a long time, and finally picked up two extremely hard stones and rubbed them against each other.
No matter how hard the rock is, if you rub yourself against it, it shouldn't be a problem...
Seeing him finally getting down to business, Sui Xiong nodded and smiled slightly.
So, just wait and see the results. Maybe this lucky guy can find a good way that the dwarves have not found for decades...
