Balin said gravely:
"I know how to take it apart."
He took a complete set of wrenches, screwdrivers, and socket tools out of his Spatial Ring.
"The Great Xia people taught me basic maintenance and gave me these tools specifically for dismantling equipment."
Elder Glen's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to examine them closely.
"These tools... the material is ordinary, but their shapes are strange."

These screws were not the sizes used for maintenance, so they needed to forge the missing wrenches.
Dwarves had always been quick at forging, and everyone present was a master smith.
In less than an hour, wrenches of every specification covered a table.
King Muradin said:
"Since everything is ready, let's begin!"
"Remember its construction and think about how to reproduce it!"

Their immense strength allowed them to turn the screws easily without machinery.
They could even push it onto its side to dismantle the undercarriage.
At first, everyone complained that the tank actually used something as crude as screws to hold it together. It was not beautiful at all!
But they also exclaimed in wonder from time to time, stunned by Great Xia's manufacturing techniques and ideas.
Overall,
