Chapter 547: Chapter 87

In the end, Sui Xiong did not rush to order .

From his personal point of view, he totally understood and supported the Dwarf Kingdom in defending its territory to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs . But he was just a jellyfish, not the Virgin Mary, and the dwarves were not his relatives or friends . Why would he send his followers to risk their lives to help the dwarves protect their country?

When Chinese volunteers fought against the United States in order to aid the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, it was because if the DPRK was defeated, China would face great dangers . If the Americans killed the president of the DPRK, China would become the front line of the US-Soviet hegemony war . Once World War III broke out, it would be a horrible scene of nuclear bombs bombarding the northern part of China . The Chinese volunteers ultimately didn’t choose to fight because they had a special liking for the president of the DPRK nor did they want to help him protect his country .

Whether it be the Dwarf Kingdom or the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, neither bordered the Northwest Republic . In this case, why would Sui Xiong send soldiers to fight for the dwarves just for justice? Would Sui Xiong really be so stupid?

Speaking of justice, even the God of justice, Yorgaardman, hadn’t sent an incarnation to stay in the Dwarf Kingdom .

Of course, he did not tell his followers about this . Instead, he found an excuse to temporarily prevaricate them .

In fact, Sui Xiong was very happy and proud of being praised as a kind and just god by his followers, so he didn’t want to let them down . He just left this matter alone and decided to discuss it later .

What’s more, maybe after a while, the situation would change . Perhaps at that time, he would really send soldiers to help the dwarves .

So their discussion did not come to any definite conclusions; they would just have to wait and see . But that didn’t mean they wouldn’t do anything now .

After the discussion, Sui Xiong began to study the new type of steel .

What he studied was not how the steel could resist the Great Disintegration Spell, but what other potential it had besides resisting the spell .

After a lot of research, he found that the toughness of the iron block that had been purified by him was quite good . The most interesting thing was that when he tried to surround the iron block with a current, the iron showed strong magnetism, but when the current disappeared, more than half of the magnetism also disappeared .

It was really amazing . In the past, when Sui Xiong used electromagnetic guns, the shells were also made of steel . Because of the influence of a strong magnetic field, the shells would become strong magnets immediately after coming out of the gun . Of course, this was not bad . If he used metals insensitive to the magnetic field, the shells would not be so fast . Moreover, because of the high temperature generated by friction after they discharged, the magnetism of the shells would weaken rapidly . When those shells hit the target, they would generate a high temperature again, and then there would be almost no magnetism left .

As an art student, of course Sui Xiong was unclear about these principles in electromagnetic guns . But that couldn’t prevent him from making strong magnets through the use of strong electromagnetic fields—but for the time being, they could only be used as toys .

Sui Xiong’s discovery of this kind of iron block reminded him of a special material known as an “electromagnet” before he traveled to this world .

Electromagnets were wonderful things! When electrified, they would produce a strong magnetism, but when the electricity was cut off, the magnetism would be greatly weakened or even completely disappear . Sui Xiong had seen electromagnets at a large waste disposal station . They could easily and quickly point out the magnetic materials such as iron and steel in the garbage dump . It was very convenient .

Sui Xiong wasn’t truly thinking about garbage disposal . What he thought about was how to use electromagnets to help in mining .

In mining, trying to get purer iron ore had always been a big problem . Generally speaking, the purity of iron ore could only be distinguished by people—this was commonly known as the “quality . ” Iron ore with good qualities was naturally more conducive to smelting and had high values . However, iron ore with low qualities was much more difficult to smelt, and their values were naturally much lower .

People in this world had thought about using magnets to select iron ore . However, the magnetism of natural magnets was not strong, and their efficiency of mineral selection was not high . At least, using natural magnets to select iron ore was not as quick as old miners selecting iron ore . So the idea of using natural magnets to select iron ore only stayed on paper and not in practice .

As for using man-made magnets to select iron ore, it seemed that no one in the world could create any strong man-made magnets before Sui Xiong . Even after Sui Xiong himself created strong magnets, he only found that they were not suitable for mineral selection .

Of course, man-made magnets could effectively adsorb iron ore with good qualities . But after being absorbed, it was a bit troublesome to separate them from the man-made magnets .

This was an embarrassing thing . If the magnetism of those magnets was not strong, they would not be able to effectively absorb the iron ore and achieve the purpose of using them . But if the magnetism of those magnets were strong enough to pick the iron ore out of the gravel, it would be very difficult to get rid of what was absorbed .

Then there was another problem: Sui Xiong did not know any non-metallic things that could shield the magnetic field so that workers could work directly under the strong magnetic field . Was it OK for workers to work under a strong magnetic field?

He thought about it for a while, but he was afraid that it would be impossible .

From the scientific knowledge that he had mostly retained from his teachers, there was no essential difference between magnetism and electricity . Strong electromagnetic waves were certainly harmful to the human body . The hospital’s X-ray room doorway was plastered with such warnings “Do not enter casually . ”

Sui Xiong was not the kind of brutal boss who ignored human life . He absolutely did not want his workers to work under a strong electromagnetic environment for a long time! Therefore, although he was not sure whether a strong magnetic field was harmful to the human body or not, he was very careful about it .

But now since he had found a new kind of material, he could change that .

It was not difficult to make strong currents of electricity . There were spellcasters in this world who had developed a device that could produce a strong current of electricity for a long time . However, this device needed magic to maintain its operation . Sui Xiong did not need it to emit lightning to bombard opponents . As long as it could emit strong electricity and create strong electromagnetic fields, that would be enough for Sui Xiong to turn soft iron into strong magnets .

Of course, it would save a lot of energy by using this way to create strong magnets . Sui Xiong found a magic wand of lightning as his energy source and made a set of auxiliary circuits . Finally, he created the first “electromagnet” in the world .

The electromagnet was about half the width of an ordinary man’s arm, and its shape was a slightly heavy metal box . After a charge was completed, it could work for about ten minutes . When it was working, one side of it would produce strong magnetism enough to absorb iron ore . As long as the switch was pulled, it would stop working, and the magnetism would be greatly reduced or disappear .

Ten minutes seemed like a short time . In fact, it only took less than ten seconds to select iron ore once . In other words, after each charge, it was enough to select iron ore 50 or 60 times .

Sui Xiong himself had tried to pick out the iron ore . If he smashed the iron ore, he could use the ten minutes of time to select a large number of iron ore with high purity .

Indeed, the purity was very high . Even if he were a layman, he would also be able to see the high purity of those iron ores .

There was no doubt that Sui Xiong’s idea was feasible!
