By feeding a zero-cost artifact land—imprinted onto Prototype Portal—into the loop, you gain the engine's entire fuel source right from the token's creation. As the Great Furnace token enters the battlefield, Grinding Station’s triggered ability immediately untaps itself to stay ready for the next iteration, while Clock of Omens uses that very same token alongside the milling artifact to untap Prototype Portal. This tight loop endlessly generates tapped artifact lands and mills your opponents out through Grinding Station's relentless triggers.
