Although believers liked to sing praises of the gods and call them omnipotent, in fact, the gods were not omnipotent.
For example, almost every god in the world could trace the past, but to see the future clearly, only a few gods could do so.
The future was confusing, as if shrouded in a thick fog, and it was difficult to see clearly. It was better when one was not involved, especially when one was involved. Even if one had extraordinary abilities, one could not see the direction of the future.
The God of Water Element was almost at the top of the realm of great Divine Power. He was also the oldest god in the world, and maybe even the oldest great being in the world. But even he could not see clearly what his future would be like.
If he had the so-called "eyes that could see the future," then why did he have to painstakingly design a big whirlpool that could block the vision of the great Divine Power, and only dare to talk to Sui about those secrets?
Moreover, if he could really see the future, then he did not need to spend so much effort to find a way to break through the limits of the great Divine Power. He could just look at the future and find the way to step into the great Divine Power.
From this point of view, perhaps even the legendary God of Fate, who could see the future clearly, was not so magical.
The God of Runes was considered relatively powerful among the dwarven gods. At present, he was roughly at the level of a mid-level Divine Power, and with a little more effort, he could step into the great Divine Power.
Once he stepped into the great Divine Power, there would be two great Divine Powers among the dwarven gods. At that time, it was believed that the human gods would carefully consider whether to continue to encourage the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs to continue to attack the Kingdom of Dwarves in the Mountain of Broken Clouds. It was true that on the level of mortals, the dwarven gods were completely no match for the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs. But on the level of gods, the dwarven god system with two great Divine Powers was not an opponent that could be forced to the death.
After all, the greatest enemy of the human gods was always the Orc gods. If there was only one great Divine Power among the dwarven gods, even if something happened, the human gods would have a way to deal with it. But if there were two great Divine Powers, plus the trump card of the Orc gods, everyone would fight to the death. Even if the human gods won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and it would just be an advantage to some oriole.
So for the current Dwarf Race, they could either find a way to fight against the humans at the mortal level, or let the Rune God step into the realm of great Divine Power. Other than that, there was no third way out of this predicament.
The Rune God quickly returned to the Dwarf God System and told everyone in detail what he had seen and heard.
"Using machinery to replace manpower … can indeed greatly reduce the pressure caused by the lack of manpower in production." The King of the Hills, one of the dwarven gods who presided over the state affairs, pondered for a long time and nodded. "It's a good idea. It's worth learning and promoting!"
"I owe him a huge favor!" Although theoretically, he should be immortal, but he was already as old as an old tree stump, and he didn't even move much. He sighed and said, "Our friends are good to us, and we have to remember it in our hearts. I have to find a way to repay him. "
The gods nodded solemnly, but when it came to discussing how to repay him, they were at a loss.
When it came to money, everyone knew that the Republic of Northwest was rich. Not to mention other things, the prize money given out in the World Martial Arts Competition, which was held once every 10 or 20 years, would make countless people jealous. It was said that not long ago, the champion of the third World Martial Arts Competition, Leo, had encountered more than 20 robberies on his way back from Void City to the Mechanical Realm. If it weren't for his good friend, Fero, who persuaded him to ask for help from His Majesty the Void Mask, he would have lost his life on the way, let alone the prize money.
… That was a strong man who was about to step into the realm of Legendary! One could imagine the huge amount of money.
Would the Republic of Northwest, which could come up with such a prize money every 10 or 20 years, care about money?
In addition to money, the dwarves were most proud of their forging skills. Among the most famous artifacts in the world today, about one-third of them were made by the dwarves. If they could forge a powerful artifact for His Majesty the Void Mask, it would be a good way to repay him.
However, to be honest, no one thought that someone as powerful as His Majesty the Void Mask would need any artifact.
This was not to say that Sui Xiong did not need weapons, but … for a guy whose ultimate move was to self-destruct two times in a row, even if he was given all the artifacts in the world, what use would it be? The power of Sui Xiong's self-destruction was too great, and no artifact could survive that kind of self-destruction.
This was like the famous self-destruction car charge on Earth, which was used to blow things up anyway. Who would blow up a luxury car that cost millions of dollars? A durable and cheap truck was good, and a van was not bad either. If it really did not work, a small off-road vehicle could be used …
The second option was also not feasible. The dwarf gods looked at each other for a while, a little confused.
In the face of a powerful friend who was not short of money, they really could not think of any good way to repay him.
In fact, everyone knew that the Republic of Northwest was now severely short of population, to the point that it had to summon skeletons in large quantities as labor. However, the Dwarf Kingdom was also short of population, even more so than the Republic of Northwest — the Republic of Northwest only lacked workers, but the Dwarf Kingdom lacked soldiers.
If they lacked workers, they could wait. They could delay the less important projects for a while, and it would be over. However, if they lacked soldiers, they couldn't wait.
In other words, the Dwarf Kingdom wanted to wait, but the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs did not agree!
After some discussion, it was finally the "old man" who proposed the most reliable method. "They should be short of excellent craftsmen and technicians. After we adopt their method, we can save a group of people and send them to help them train craftsmen. This is a token of our sincerity."
"Of course, this is not enough to repay him for his help. But it's better than doing nothing, isn't it? "
After a brief discussion, the Dwarf Gods agreed to this suggestion.
Then, the Dwarf Kingdom began a large-scale industrial reform.
The first was ore dressing. Although the dwarves could not make electromagnet concentrators because they did not have Sui Xiong's special iron, they could buy them directly from Sui Xiong.
Because of the large scale of mining, the dwarf gods ordered 100 concentrators in one go.
If such a large order was made by mortals, they might not be able to finish it in a year and a half. But whether it was the dwarf gods or Sui Xiong, no one intended to go through mortal channels — the dwarves could not wait that long, so Sui Xiong simply did it himself. It only took him a few days to make this batch of concentrators. He even went to visit the dwarf gods' Holy Kingdom again and delivered the goods to their doorstep.
Delivering goods to their doorstep had almost become a must for merchants on Earth for large transactions. Even when buying things for their wives and children online, they still had to "include free shipping." When mobile companies advertised, the first thing they opened their mouths was, "The door faces the sea, the flowers bloom in spring, 4 Mbps broadband, and you can order takeout." In short, to Sui Xiong, it was really a matter of course.
But the dwarf gods were touched, which made Sui Xiong laugh and sigh at the backwardness of the world's service industry.
After the ore dressing, it was the furnace.
The iron ore of the dwarves was of good quality, and they had their own furnace. Although they could not produce the special steel of the Republic of Northwest, ordinary steel was enough.
Modifying the furnace was not a overnight effort, and the dwarves could not wait.
After the furnace, it was the hydraulic press. This was not a problem. There were many rivers in the Broken Cloud Mountains, enough to build a number of hydraulic presses. And this thing really did not require much technical content. It was a simple trick. The Rune God only took a glance at it and completely understood its structure.
Finally, it was the manufacture of parts and then the overall assembly.
This was Sui Xiong's suggestion to them. In his opinion, the current production method used by the dwarves was still too traditional — for example, to make a piece of armor, their practice was to have a craftsman with a few assistants personally build the various parts of the armor, and then assemble it by hand.
There was nothing wrong with this method, except that it was too slow.
Under Sui Xiong's suggestion, the dwarves changed the production process. They divided the craftsmen into several groups, each group producing a certain part of the armor, and finally assembling it together.
In this way, the production efficiency was greatly improved, and the dwarves were amazed.
Originally, increasing the speed often meant lowering the quality, but after using Sui Xiong's method, the speed increased, but the quality did not decline at all. On the contrary, because the craftsmen only needed to focus on a specific part, the quality of the creation became better and better.
Sui Xiong stayed with the dwarf gods for half a month. When he left, not only did he bring the gratitude of the dwarf gods and the friendship of the dwarves, but also a group of senior craftsmen and technicians from the Dwarf Kingdom deep in the mountains.
