Chapter 547 (1/2)
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.
