In his century-long life in his previous life, Lier had experienced not only the convenience and efficiency brought by the high industrialization of humanity's industrial heyday.
He had also been forced to experience starting from scratch, attempting to smelt and purify nuclear fuel under extremely urgent, high-pressure, and harsh conditions, and assembling the corresponding products.
So he could build machines in a cave, too. And now he had an even better helper:
That was this hulking, oversized Simple Industrial Robot.
Doctor Toomes and he had modified this robot together. It looked bulky, but once unfolded, it was essentially a small smelting station.
The robot took one large module after another from its body, then used motors and construction equipment to assemble them into a short production line.
The ore would be ground into powder by a crusher, put into the Chemical Dissolution Chamber, and processed in the Electric Arc Furnace to extract uranium. Kept at a high temperature, it would then be sent into the Electromagnetic Isotope Separation Chamber.
Most of the batteries in the first batch of supplies had been stuffed into this robot.
But that much energy wasn't really enough for the machine to smelt and purify materials for long.
So the machine itself also carried a Reactor Furnace that could take uranium feed directly as fuel-
A shoddy one, but useful.
The only problem was that when the robot was working as a furnace and assembly plant, Lier could hardly manage to do anything else at the same time.
The only helper available to Lier was this Minister of Mining from Tanzania.
Lier put ore into the furnace and looked at the minister:
"I need to make this clear in advance: because the equipment is a little crude, the entire process will further increase radiation levels in
