Research on Rock Strength Test Based on Electro-Hydraulic Servo Point Load Instrument
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Authors presented an experimental research on rock strength. I feel that their research is capable of interest by readers of the journal. They made a well organized discipline in their presentation and method of resting. The whole concept lead me to this conclusion that this study can be accepted as the current form. Consequently I recommend the publication of the manuscript as it is.

We would like to thank the reviewer for their review of "Research on rock strength test based on electro-hydraulic servo point load instrument". Thank you for your recognition. We proofread the data of the manuscript again to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. Thank you again for your warm work. Thank you!
Reviewer 2 Report
Congratulations to authors for the design of this point load test device. Findings are very interesting, the paper is well structured and the date well explained. Only some minors revisions have been found in the text:
- Line 158: The description of the rock corresponds to the coarse-crystalline granite.
- Line 160: Granite description should correspond to the fine-crystalline granite.
- Table 3: Units of the damage values are missing in the text or in figure caption.
- Line 237: Missing capital letter after the period.
