After completing the preliminary design, Sui Xiong spent some time perfecting his invention, especially the part that could be used as an "energy source." The next day, when he came to Palin's research center, he had already brought a thing that looked like a broom.
As long as the iron ore was smashed and swept with this thing, the parts with high iron content could be picked out. After sweeping two or three times, the remaining residue contained very little iron content, and basically had no use value.
As for smashing the iron ore, this was not a big deal. After all, when refining iron, the more it was smashed, the better.
Palin and the others were very pleased with this invention. After trying it out a few times, they put forward some suggestions for modification.
For example, Palin thought that a wide belt could be made, and the smashed iron ore could be laid on the belt, which would be transported by the belt slowly. Then, this tool, which they called a "concentrator," could be used to quickly screen the iron ore, which could effectively improve the screening quality.
A dwarf craftsman thought that the concentrator could be made into several models according to the magnetic strength, so that ores of different purity could be screened and artificially distinguished.
There were many valuable suggestions. Sui Xiong listened to them one by one, modified this thing according to the suggestions, and made some auxiliary equipment.
The final product was a thing that was quite different from his original design — this was a set of semi-automatic machinery. First, it relied on hydraulic lifting heavy hammers to smash the iron ore, and then these smashed iron ore would be transported by a belt with a roller below to another room, and then passed through three sets of concentrators with different magnetic strength, so that three different grades of raw materials would be screened out, and then transported by the other three belts to three different places for storage, and the remaining gravel would be transported elsewhere.
Looking at this semi-automatic screening system with several rooms, Sui Xiong could not help but think of the factories he had seen before his time travel.
Admittedly, they were still a bit rough and not perfect enough, but he could already vaguely see the embryonic form of modern industry.
Watching the workers send the iron ore into the crusher, and then in the roar, they were crushed, transported by the belt, and after three screening processes, three kinds of iron ore of different grades were selected and stored separately. Finally, the waste was poured to the other side, Sui Xiong could not help but feel a little moved.
Although he was not an engineering student, seeing the industrial scene like that on Earth in this world that was completely different from that on Earth really made him very happy and nostalgic.
It was just like … when he made "movies" and "TV."
No, he was even more touched than that time. After all, the so-called "movies" and "television" were nothing more than adding a screen to a projector. Essentially, it was just the popularization of projection magic. Compared to the high-end movies and TV shows, the simple factory and production line in front of him were the real industry!
(I wonder when those factories on Earth will really appear in this world? The production efficiency of Earth's technology is far superior to that of this world. If we can truly push forward the industrial era, we will definitely be able to provide sufficient supplies for the people of this world. This is the foundation for everyone to truly live a good life!
Sui Xiong sighed as he received the God of Runes who came to visit again.
This time, the attitude of the God of Runes was completely different from the last time. He wore a gorgeous armor that resembled a formal dress, brought along his attendants, and even brought the token of the Dwarf God System — a hammer called "Great Mountain Root".
The Dwarf Gods were not like the Human God System or the Orc God System, where there was a clear king. This god system was similar to a parliament. Although His Majesty "Holy Hammer", the guardian of the Dwarves with great divine power, was respected by everyone and was addressed as "Elder," it did not mean that everyone would completely obey this elder when it came to discussing important matters. When it was time to argue or quarrel, they were not afraid at all.
Therefore, when the Dwarf Gods discussed some important matters, their reactions would be slightly slower. Sometimes, it was not unusual for them to discuss for a year and a half, or even three to five years.
This time, the God of Runes returned and finished the discussion within a few days. He even brought the token that the Dwarf Gods used to form an alliance. This was really efficient!
Sui Xiong suspected that they had come to a common conclusion after a little discussion this time.
He tried to ask, and it was indeed the case.
Faced with the sample brought back by the God of Runes, the Dwarf Gods spent a little time experimenting and confirmed that this thing was indeed useful and could make up for the biggest shortcoming of the profession of "Dwarf Spell Breaker." Finally, the believers of the mortals would not be helpless in the face of the (Mage's Disjunction) spell and would not even have the chance to fight desperately.
In this case, this matter was more or less settled. Next, their main topic of discussion was actually the strength of this cooperation and how much price they should pay.
"According to my original intention, I wanted to form an alliance with you," the God of Runes said apologetically. The God of Runes said apologetically. "But after the elder's reminder, I realized … the situation of us dwarven gods is not good, and in the human world, our believers can't provide much help to your believers. Forming an alliance seems to be just taking advantage of you. "
"Taking advantage of friends is definitely not the style of us dwarves. So we finally decided that we will send manpower and material resources to assist you and your believers in exchange for this special steel and its production technology, "the God of Runes said with a smile. The God of Runes said with a smile, "To be frank, we are working for you and for the Republic in exchange for this material and technology that will be of great help to us."
His statement was far beyond Sui Xiong's expectations, and it also gave Sui Xiong a new and accurate understanding of the degree of "order" of the Dwarves.
In the face of such a great opportunity, the Dwarf Gods not only considered their own interests, but also Sui Xiong's. They seriously considered whether the deal with each other was fair and did not want to take advantage of each other. Although their current situation was not good, if they could gain an ally like Sui Xiong, it would greatly improve their situation.
Perhaps it could be said that they were stubborn, or to put it bluntly, stupid. But behind this stubbornness and stupidity, there was a sense of reliability that made people feel at ease.
It was indeed very comfortable to do business with such people.
So after listening to the introduction of the God of Runes, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.
"You guys are really as stubborn as rocks and as simple as rocks," he said with a smile. "I'm definitely going to make friends with you guys!"
