When Saine was in the City of Steel, Thor had also wanted to find a machinery manufacturing plant to help upgrade and reinforce his "Thunder God" space fortress.
But unfortunately, Thor had been told that his "Radiant Gold"-class space fortress was already one of the highest-grade special space fortresses. In theory, there was not much room left for modification.

The mechanics of Kapeiqi certainly would not have minded taking Thor to the cleaners.
