I don’t think that’s how salts work. I might be wrong, but I think it works like this

Password + Salt -> Hash

Notice how those 3 users use the same password, but the different salts results in 3 different hashes. That doesn’t make it any harder to crack a single hash, but it means I have to crack the same password 3 times.
