What Sui Xiong wanted to do, of course, was not to invent a machine that could work stably in the water.
With his slightly poor knowledge of engineering, to make the machine work stably in the water, it needed to be waterproof. Waterproofing was generally accomplished through waterproof coatings, but the machine used to grind bedrock, no matter how waterproof the coating was, the part responsible for grinding would be worn out quickly.
After all, the bedrock was so hard that it was not inferior to steel. Sui Xiong really couldn't think of anything that could be used to grind them without worrying about wear and tear.
Oh, there was indeed such a thing as Olihagun.
It was not that Sui Xiong couldn't find so many Oliharas to build a grinder, but he felt that if he really built such a grinder, the dwarves would not be happy when they saw it. Instead, they would be angry.
They would definitely say something like "wasting God's gift" or something like that.
No, maybe they would directly have a cerebral hemorrhage or a myocardial infarction. After all, the stimulation was a little too strong for them.
Olihagun was almost the hardest thing in the world. In most cases, only powerful gods like Sui Xiong could collect it and use it to build powerful artifacts. The weaker gods could only rely on trading and other methods to obtain it, and the quantity would not be very large. Therefore, some low-level artifacts and even inferior artifacts often did not have Olihagun on them. Even if there was, there was only a little, and it was used in the most critical places.
Mortals sometimes got a little Olihagun because of good luck, but mortals did not have the ability to process it, and generally could only be seen as a gem. A long time ago, there was a lucky strongman who got a piece of Olihagun in the shape of a dagger. Although he could not grind this thing until he died, he made a big name for himself with this indestructible dagger.
The Dwarf Kingdom had also obtained some Orlihagon. They used it as the most precious sacrifice and offered it to the gods they believed in. Usually, they would get a good reward.
If Sui Xiong really gave them a grinder made by Olihagun, maybe they would not use it to grind bedrock, but use it as a sacrifice …
Since he could not use the grinder made by Olihagun, Sui Xiong had no other way. So it didn't take him much time to determine that he could not help in this regard.
What he was thinking about was, could he use another way to grind bedrock? Why not use this super inefficient method?
He tried to find a few materials to use as grinders, but found that they were either not hard enough, or too expensive, and lacked practicality. One of them even accidentally ground the bedrock too fine, causing an explosion. If it wasn't for the fact that he was strong enough, he might have been blown half to death.
After several failures, Sui Xiong found that there seemed to be something wrong with his train of thought.
He was only thinking of finding suitable new materials, but the Dwarf Kingdom had been studying this thing for decades. What materials had they not used? If a material was so rare that even the Dwarf Kingdom could not get it, then what was the point of using it to make a suitable grinder?
It was like using Oliha to make a grinder. It was definitely hard and strong enough, but it was not practical at all.
Then … what should he do?
Sui Xiong was lost in thought.
He thought for a long time and finally decided to follow the old rules and find someone who was really good at it.
Who is really good at it?
Of course it was Palin and the others.
But just when Sui Xiong was about to go to Palin and the others, he suddenly thought of the chef Fira.
Recently, that guy's luck had been amazing, as if he could pick up money on the street and draw a lot of glitter gold. However, his performance was actually very ordinary. Even when he was bored and gambled with his friends, he did not particularly take advantage of them.
This did not seem to be particularly good luck at all.
Could it be … that his luck was not actually used in daily life, but to be accumulated and eventually made big news?
If that was the case, maybe he could try to find him.
Sui Xiong was not an engineering student, but he had heard a story that in invention, the most important thing was luck, or inspiration. A reporter once interviewed the king of invention, Edison, and asked him why he could make so many inventions and if it was because he was a genius. At that time, Edison's answer was that genius was 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. But comparing the two, the latter was decisive.
He had 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 emphasize the latter half of the sentence and emphasized the perspiration. The second version was told by a netizen in the game guild. He said that Edison was actually bragging and that most of his inventions were directly purchased. For this guy, the key to being a genius was to be able to do business and be rich.
Sui Xiong naturally did not know which version was true, but he felt that luck was definitely very important. For example, before he traveled to this world, the country just happened to honor a hydrogen bomb founder who had hidden his identity for many years, and that person came up with a hydrogen bomb structure that was completely different from that of foreign countries. Naturally, there was a lot of perspiration involved, but luck was definitely also very important. Otherwise, it would be impossible that the level of that scientist was so high that no one in the world could compare to him, right? Reality was not a fantasy novel!
So when he thought of Fira, he could not help but change his mind.
That night, when Fira was sleeping, he had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was walking on a mountain, and there was a glowing person on the mountain, who gave him a few hard stones and asked him to try to grind these stones into as fine a powder as possible.
When he woke up, he really saw these stones next to his bed.
"Tianqi? Or something else? " Fira looked at these stones blankly. He tried to pick up one and rubbed it on the stone that was used to pad the foot of his bed.
An obvious white mark was left on the stone, but the stone was not damaged at all.
"How can it be so hard?" He was surprised, found a piece of steel, and rubbed it 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! "Fira muttered to himself," How can I grind it? It is impossible … "
So he put down these stones and stopped thinking about this kind of thing.
That night, he had another dream. In the dream, he was still on the top of the mountain, and the glowing person again told him to grind the stones into powder.
"But, the stones are too hard!" he argued, "I can't grind them at all."
The glowing person just smiled, but he immediately understood what the figure meant.
If it was really so easy, how could this good thing happen to him?
After waking up, Fira pondered for a long time. Finally, he picked up two extremely hard stones and rubbed them against each other.
No matter how hard these stones were, if he rubbed them against himself, it should not be a problem …
Seeing that he finally started to get down to business, Sui Xiong nodded and smiled slightly.
Then, he would wait and see the results. Maybe this lucky guy could find a good way that dwarves had been researching for decades …
