Although believers liked to sing praises to the gods and considered them omnipotent, in fact, gods were not omnipotent at all . For example, almost every god in the world could trace the past, but only a few gods could see the future .

The future was confusing as if it were covered with thick fog, so it was difficult to see . It was easier when the gods were out of the way . When they were in the way, they couldn’t see the future no matter how powerful they were .

The Queen of Water Elements was almost the most powerful existence among the great Divine Powers . She was also the oldest god in the world today . She might even be the oldest existence in this world . However, even she couldn’t see what her future would be like .

If she had the so-called “eyes that could see into the future,” she wouldn’t have needed to design a big swirl that could shield the greater Divine Powers . She only dared to talk about those secrets with Sui Xiong .

Moreover, if she could see into the future, she wouldn’t have to try so hard to find a way to break through the limits of a great Divine Power . From this point of view, perhaps even the legendary God of Fate, who could see the future, was not that miraculous .

The Rune God was relatively powerful among the dwarf gods . He was currently at the peak of mid-level Divine Power . If he tried harder, he could become a great Divine Power .

Once he became a great Divine Power, there would be two great Divine Powers among the dwarf gods . At that time, the human gods would carefully consider whether it was necessary to continue to ask the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs to attack the Kingdom of Dwarfs . It was true that at the mortal level, dwarfs were completely unable to compete with the people of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs . However, at the god level, the Dwarf God System had two great Divine Powers . They were not opponents that humans could easily defeat .

After all, the arch-enemies of the human gods were always the Orc gods . If there were only one great Divine Power of the dwarf gods, the human gods could deal with that . However, there were two great Divine Powers . Along with the Orc gods, the human gods would have a fierce battle . Even if the human gods won, they would pay a huge price .

Therefore, for the current dwarfs, they only had two ways: one, they would have to find a way to fight against the humans at the mortal level, or two, they would have to help the Rune God become a great Divine Power . They didn’t have a third way to get out of trouble .

The Rune God quickly returned to the Dwarf God System . He told everyone what he had seen and heard .

“They replace manpower with machines . It is indeed possible to greatly reduce the pressure caused by insufficient manpower in production,” the Rune God said . The King of Hills, the god who presided over the national government of the dwarf gods, pondered for a long time; then he said, nodding, “That’s a good idea . We should learn and promote it!”

“That’s a huge favor!” the Great Elder said, sighing . Although in theory, the Great Elder should be immortal, but he was old like an old stump; he usually didn’t move much . “We must remember the good things that our friend has done . We should find a way to repay him . ”

The gods all nodded seriously . However, when they discussed how to repay him, they all had nothing to say .

As for money, the richness of the Republic of Northwest was well known . In the Fighter Championship that was held every ten or twenty years, the bonus alone would attract countless people . It was said that Rio, the champion of the third Fighter Championship, had been robbed more than 20 times on his way back to the Machinery Realm from Void City . If his friend Phileo hadn’t persuaded him to ask for help from the Void Mask, he might have lost his life along with his bonus .

Rio was a strong man who was about to enter the Legendary Realm! The amount of money he had could be imagined .

The Republic of Northwest could offer such a bonus every ten or twenty years . Did they care about money?

In addition to money, the dwarfs were proudest of their forging techniques . About one-third of the most famous artifacts in the world today were created by dwarfs . It would also be a good way to repay the Void Mask if they created a powerful artifact for him .

However, to be honest, they all thought that the Void Mask was too powerful . He didn’t need any artifacts .

This was not to say that Sui Xiong didn’t need weapons . However, his unique skill was to detonate himself twice in a row, and he could do this continuously . Even if he owned all the artifacts in this world, the artifacts would be useless . His self-detonation power was too great, so no artifact could be preserved in that kind of attack .

For example, the famous self-detonation cars on Earth were used for bombing, so no one would use luxury cars that were worth millions . Durable and cheap trucks were good to use, so vans were not bad . It was okay to use small off-road vehicles at most .

The second solution couldn’t work . The dwarf gods looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do . In the face of a friend who was wealthy and powerful, they really couldn’t think of a good way to repay him .

In fact, as everyone knew, the Republic of Northwest was now extremely short of citizens . They had to summon a lot of skeletons and use them as laborers . However, the Kingdom of Dwarfs was also short of citizens, even more so than the Republic of Northwest . The Republic of Northwest was only short on workers, but the Kingdom of Dwarfs was short on soldiers .

If they were short on workers, then they could wait . However, if they were short of soldiers, they really couldn’t wait . In other words, the Kingdom of Dwarfs wanted to wait, but the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs didn’t agree .

After some discussions, the Great Elder finally put forward the most reliable solution . He said, “They may lack excellent craftsmen and technicians—after we adopt their methods, we can save a group of people . So we can send those people to help them train craftsmen . That can be regarded as our appreciation . Of course, this is not enough to repay his help . However, it is better than nothing, isn’t it?”

The dwarf gods discussed it some more and agreed on the suggestion .

Then, the Kingdom of Dwarfs started a large-scale industrial reform .

The first reform was about mineral processing . The dwarfs couldn’t make electromagnet concentrators because they didn’t have the special iron that Sui Xiong owned, but they could buy the machines from Sui Xiong .

Because of the large scale of mining, the dwarf gods ordered one hundred concentrators at once .

If mortals received such a huge order, they might need more than a year . However, both the dwarf gods and Sui Xiong were not going to use the mortal method . The dwarfs couldn’t wait that long, so Sui Xiong produced it for them personally . He only needed a few days to produce the concentrators . He even went to visit the God’s Kingdoms of the dwarf gods again and delivered the concentrators to their doors .

A home delivery service was necessary on Earth in block trades . Moreover, when people bought things for their family members online, the shipping fee was usually free . The mobile company advertisements always started with “Beautiful living environments, with spring blossoms; use 4 Mb/s broadband, order food online and have it delivered to your door . ” In short, for Sui Xiong, this wasn’t a problem .

However, the dwarf gods were moved by his action . Sui Xiong felt pleased, but he was also surprised by the backwardness of the service industry in this world .

After the mineral processing, they thought about furnaces .

The iron ore of the dwarfs was very good, and they had suitable furnaces . Although it was impossible to produce special steel like that in the Republic of Northwest, they could produce ordinary steel .

Reforming furnaces was not an overnight effort, and the dwarfs couldn’t wait .

After the furnaces, they thought about the hydraulic presses . These were not difficult to build . There were many rivers in the Mountain of Broken Clouds, and those rivers were enough to build several hydraulic presses . Moreover, they didn’t contain much technical content, just little tricks that could be understood easily . The Rune God had only looked at it and completely understood its structure .

Finally, it was on to manufacturing in pieces and then assembling in general .

This was Sui Xiong’s suggestion . In his opinion, the production method currently used by the dwarfs was still too traditional . For example, according to their method, a craftsman would lead a few assistants to make a set of armor . The craftsman would build various parts of the armor in person and then assemble them with his own hands .

There was nothing wrong with this method, but it was too slow .

Under the suggestion of Sui Xiong, the dwarfs changed the production process . They divided the craftsmen into several groups, and each group produced a certain part of the armor and finally assembled them .

As a result, production efficiency was greatly improved . The dwarfs were amazed .

Originally, increasing the speed often meant lowering the quality . However, after using Sui Xiong’s method, the speed was improved, but the quality was not reduced at all . On the contrary, because the craftsmen only focused on a specific part, the quality was getting better and better .

Sui Xiong lived with the dwarf gods for half a month . When he left, he not only gained the dwarf gods’ gratitude but also their friendship . Moreover, he gained a group of senior craftsmen and technicians from the Kingdom of Dwarfs in the mountains .
