On Earth, there are enough resources to ensure a high standard of living for everyone if managed wisely.
All that is necessary is the sensible use of innovations, raw materials, and technical potential. By development, we mean technologies that are safe for people and the environment, which efficiently use time and energy.
Amado Sanzu, a prominent scientist and rat, once remarked, "I foresee a society dependent on science and technology where no one knows anything about science or technology. So in case of failure, we must pass our efforts on to future generations. Humans will never forget humans. By improving in technology, humans also improve."
The irony is that history shows that military developments have always and everywhere formed the basis for civilian applications, whether in the production of canned goods or clothing, medical or space research, or any other innovations.
It's surprising how wars and suffering often serve as catalysts for scientific and technological breakthroughs that then improve life in peacetime.
"Technology is a creation of life. Life is a creation of nature. Thus, technology is an evolution of nature."
The words of Otsutsuki make one ponder. Technology is not just a tool to make life easier; it reflects the quest for perfection and progress.
In the world of shinobi, progress came not only through ingenuity and scientific discoveries but also through a bloody path of development, leading to the bitter realization of the importance of harmony between development and humanity. Looking at the destruction and sacrifices, one inevitably questions whether the price of progress is too high.
While innovations themselves are a source of progress, when multiplied by hatred, they lead to disaster. War, destruction, and pain are the inevitable companions of the misuse of scientific achievements. Reflecting on the war with the Otsutsuki clan, I realize that technological advancements can be both a weapon and a shield...
The Great War showed that engineering solutions can serve creation if applied with good intentions. We tried not only to defend ourselves but also to preserve important knowledge and culture for future generations.
And... the only thing my long life has taught me is that all our engineering solutions seem primitive and childishly naive in the face of reality – yet they are the most valuable things we have. Ultimately, it is our ability to learn and adapt that makes us stronger and wiser.
Now, possessing knowledge that surpasses this world's development by thousands of years, I feel a life-long responsibility – to preserve life and well-being.
Experience is not something you can learn, but it is something you can share with those you want to protect from falls that not everyone can recover from. I can help this world avoid bloody epochs and guide it through stages of development, relying on the experience of my past, where we conquered space and dimensions.
To achieve my goals, I will need like-minded people. To make this possible, it is necessary to master the laws of the new world I find myself in as soon as possible.
I pondered where to start. Mastering a new world takes time, and even small things can be important.
The idea of making soap came to me spontaneously, and it all started with an irritated bottom. I wanted to wash up, but I also wanted my rear to not only be clean but also smell pleasant afterward.
— Mom, since you are good at magic, help me learn it!
Recently, soap sales have taken off. The first batch we released was sold at a low price – part of my cunning strategy to attract the first customers. We needed to gain trust and create demand. And you know what? Just a few kilograms of soap sold out in a flash on the same day! As a result, I earned 4 silver coins.
My strategy was to let people try our product at a low price first. I knew that once they felt the difference between a regular dirty life and a new, fragrant cleanliness, they wouldn't be able to go back. You could say I was betting on their future addiction to cleanliness!
Imagine you're a local farmer who just spent the whole day plowing a field under the scorching sun. You come home, and instead of the usual bucket of water, you are greeted by our miracle soap. You lather your hands, feeling the dirt and sweat instantly disappear, leaving only a fresh, pleasant scent. How could you return to your old life after that?
So by selling the soap cheaply, I not only won over the hearts of the locals but also ensured a steady demand for our product. You could say I was betting that people would be willing to pay more for quality and comfort. And that bet paid off!
Although the first batch sold out successfully, we needed to scale up production, which brought new challenges. Father, going to his shift, now brought home the carcasses of small monsters. These creatures had more muscles than fat, but it was enough for a start. No problem, I quickly devoured them; Lilia is simply a master chef! A growing ninja needs calories!
— Ara-ara, Rudi! Come here, mom will definitely teach you!
Given my grand plans and all this mysterious energy, I simply must master this art! It can help me not only in production but in everything else! The ability to heal wounds with a simple spell is a huge advantage. We crawled to this level for decades until Grandma Tsunade revolutionized medicine. And here – poof! – it's all at your command.
I'm not sure if I have the right to ponder this "world." Magic? This place could be another galaxy billions of light-years away from Earth or even another dimension around some planet. I mean… I have no idea! There are humans here, damn it! They are no different in physique and physiology from the humans of the Shinobi world! Even the air, climate, and diversity of local "life" are suspiciously similar to Earth.
And Earth, by the way, was destroyed, drained dry by cursed trees, making life there impossible. All billions of years of our planet's genetic data vanished into oblivion to the last atom.
Even if Earth were given everything necessary for life to reemerge, it wouldn't guarantee that the future life forms would be the same as those we are used to. Evolution might take a completely different path, creating beings we can't even imagine.
Life is an astronomically tiny probability of matter taking a form that we can see and feel and call "life." And I've seen beings from other worlds that can hardly be called life...
On one of the planets I visited, "life" took the form of sentient geometric objects. They communicated through changing shapes and colors, their thoughts were complex and multidimensional, as were their bodies. Their perception of reality was so alien to ours that it felt like you had entered a world of mathematical abstractions. Humans couldn't survive there without special equipment.
The word "life" sounds too Earthly here. But at the same time, it is universal for everyone. And you know how we managed to communicate with them? With the help of ninshuu. Chakra became the bridge that connected the minds of fundamentally different forms of matter, allowing us to call them "life."
They were experts in mathematics and gave our scientists a run for their money in understanding the universe. Although their "civilization" faced extinction, we managed to glean knowledge from their crystals containing records of their science and culture. More precisely, we could only "chat" with what was left of them. No surprise that those cosmic parasites had been there...
After all this, seeing humans living on this world, so similar to "us," fills me with both awe and great fear. Are the laws of nature so universal that even at the edge of the universe they lead to the emergence of "human" beings?
This is just one of hundreds of theories spinning in my head. There was a thought that this place is the Earth of the future, but I quickly dismissed such nonsense! Science essentially justifies absurdity, relying on previous absurdities that have become common sense. In the end, I believe life is a circus of absurdity, where clowns don't always wear red noses and sometimes walk around in lab coats.
— Magic is…
Mom took out a magic book and began reading its contents to me. I had to set aside my philosophical and technical thoughts and focus. It was an engaging but challenging activity.
Spells and magic… From everything I managed to digest, "magic" here seems more pliable than chakra. The elements resemble our five basic chakra attributes: fire, water, earth, wind. Lightning here is considered almost high-rank magic. Maybe that's why electricity hasn't been invented here yet? Okay, I'll ponder that later.
Magic is divided into three categories: offensive, healing, and summoning, which seemed particularly strange to me. I felt how mom showed me the first spells. Her voice was full of enthusiasm.
Methods of activating magic, mana reserves, and other similar details were also mentioned – all of it sounded like a writer's fantastic fiction, disregarding many nuances in the power system. Nevertheless, the author's language was surprisingly easy to understand, and perhaps my mother's explanations helped me grasp it all.
— Is it already night? — I was honestly shocked!
— Rudi, did you really understand all this right away? That's incredible! — Mom was almost jumping with joy.
— Yes, I think so… I'm really interested in it, — I took the book and started flipping through it. Too bad I forget I'm blind.
— You're so smart, Rudi. I always knew you were special! — Zenith was undeterred by my attempts.
To hell with magic! She read the whole book in one evening – I didn't even notice how it happened! It felt like watching a rap battle. How many pages were there? Probably around 200? Does she really think a two-year-old brat can understand all this?
Well, considering I'm not an ordinary brat, she got away with it. Though she herself was surprised that I remembered everything the first time.
Zenith was just delighted and kept saying that I would become a great magician, as if obsessed with the idea that her son was a genius.
— Now try to cast the spell "Water Ball."
— What? — When we finished reading the book, mom suddenly asked me to cast this spell. If learning magic in general was an exciting activity, these words that needed to be spoken clearly undermined my pride. — So, I just need to repeat these words and it will work?
— Yes, but magic also depends on faith. Put your soul into it, Rudi! You can do it!
Mom, I think you overestimate your brat. You were probably still wetting the bed at my age. Oh well.
— Water… Send water's protection where it's needed, and bring a crystal-clear stream here, "Water Ball"...
Blushing slightly with embarrassment, I extended my hand, expecting some effect. Hmm, nothing happened. So I didn't have enough faith? Mom looked disappointed. Sorry, but I'm only two years old!
— Looks like the magic woke up, decided to eat, and fell asleep again, dattebayo, — I muttered, trying to justify myself.
Mom sighed but continued to believe in me. — It's okay, Rudi, just need more practice. You are a genius!
— Sure, a genius, — I muttered, rubbing my forehead. — A genius learning to speak gibberish. — My stomach predictably growled after such an activity. Mom looked at me, and I said, — Mom, after the lessons I'm tired! Can you cook something to eat?
— Oh… This side of you… Rudi, you ate those monsters an hour ago. Are you eating well? This is very important for a child.
— Yes, of course. Boars, bananas...
Zenith, remembering my ferocious appetite, sighed, took my hand, and led me to the kitchen. There we started cooking tonkatsu together. Good cutlets are just delightful. I knew recipes for many dishes, and we eagerly set about cooking.
Lilia, exhausted from the day, was already asleep, and the kitchen was quiet, interrupted only by the sound of knives and the sizzling of oil in the pan. Mom and I worked in harmony, creating a fragrant dish that promised to be a culinary masterpiece.
— Mom, what if I become not a great magician, but a chef? — I winked, handing her the meat.
— You can be anyone you want, Rudi, — mom smiled. — The main thing is that you are happy.
Despite all my plans for magic and science, this moment spent with mom in the kitchen was truly magical.
— Dad, we need to slightly adjust the angles here... The blueprint is coming out inaccurate, — it's been several months since I started studying magic, and our entrepreneurial endeavors kept growing. I turned three, and in this time, I managed to create many useful things.
— Uh... You're right. How do you manage to draw so precisely? It seems like I'm the blind one here... — Paul looked downcast.
— I just have a knack for it, — I smirked. — Now let's get the curve meter, measure the lengths of the curves, and then use the planimeter to check the areas.
— Hmm. The radius of the circle seems wrong? Let's make sure all the cylinder and piston details match our calculations, — my father said, surprising me. Looking at him, I almost saw his proud face. — Rudi, don't think your father is such a dimwit!
— I never thought that, dattebayo! Fathers, they're all geniuses! — I laughed loudly, bumping fists with Paul. And then I cried out in pain, grabbing my hand!
— Ouch, that hurts! My bones haven't fully strengthened yet... — grimacing in pain, I looked at my father. He awkwardly scratched his head and apologized.
"Hmm, if I think about it, Minato was a genius, so maybe Paul will be the same?" — I thought, still rubbing my aching hand.
Our first joint project was the cheap production of paper, for which we needed my father's strength. I explained to Dad how to use wood pulp and water to create sturdy sheets using a special press. As a result, our blueprints became more detailed and accurate. My father was amazed at how much this method improved our work.
Thanks to my father's skills as a master of the local "kenjutsu," his metalworking abilities and concentration were extremely useful in realizing my plans. Every master swordsman must know how to properly care for their blade. Though in bed, my father is a master above any sword master. Ah-ah-ah, so to speak...
Using aromatic tools and materials helped me manage without the need for vision. Luckily, I had a vast knowledge base in all areas of science. With the development of technology, it is inevitably necessary to develop your ninja techniques as well.
Although creating one's own ninjutsu doesn't require deep theoretical knowledge, during the war, it was impossible to go to the front without it. What I am doing now is simple but extremely effective mechanical devices that significantly speed up our developments. Essentially, I am copying the inventions of our great scientists.
In the world of shinobi, every ninja must possess not only combat skills but all the necessary knowledge to restore civilization in case of a catastrophe. This was the fundamental principle of our training.
Therefore, all ninjas studied sciences, engineering, medicine, and other important fields. Genjutsu techniques are an area with infinite potential! Who would have thought that "Mugen Tsukuyomi" could become a powerful tool in the right hands? With its help, one could learn huge amounts of human knowledge in just a few days, which would take centuries under normal conditions...
The right information at the right time is deadlier than any weapon.
We were ready for any development of events and could restore society from scratch using our skills and knowledge.
— So now... Ninpou: Projection Realization Technique!
A 3D model of our blueprint appeared before us, created from glowing ink lines in the air. Paul studied it attentively. This technique replaced computers and used Yin elemental principles to project models, calculate geometry, discrete differential geometry, numerical analysis, and simulate physical processes.
In simpler terms, it is a CAD system (Computer-Aided Design). Although the technique is quite ordinary, it has many levels of complexity and depth studied in the early grades of Federation ninja schools.
Programming with Yin elements required precision, concentration, and mathematical knowledge. I had to mentally create algorithms and use chakra to realize them. I wrote something like "code" in my head and then visualized it as a three-dimensional projection.
When I first began demonstrating my knowledge and abilities, my parents were naturally surprised and skeptical. Paul, Zenith, and even our maid Lilia doubted where a small child could have such extensive and deep knowledge. They asked questions, trying to understand how serious my claims were.
To dispel their doubts, I decided to demonstrate a clear example. Activating the technique, I created a simple three-dimensional drawing before them. My parents were astonished. This convinced them that my knowledge and abilities were not just a child's fantasy. By the way, Mom kept saying that I am a genius.
After this demonstration, they gradually began to accept and even take pride in my unusual abilities. Now they fully support me in my endeavors, despite their initial skepticism.
— So, we probably need to tweak it here, and this part won't withstand such pressure, — I said, pointing to a spot in the model. Paul actively began supporting me. We started discussing the details and making changes.
This is just part of the potential of Yin elements, but this specifically allows not only to visualize models but also to analyze them for strength, stability, and other parameters. With their help, it was possible to conduct simulations of various loads and operating conditions, making the design process much more efficient and accurate. Something like computer modeling, using chakra instead of electricity and semiconductor chips.
— Damn, dattebayo... I urgently need something sweet... — My head spun as if I had just gotten off a carousel. Here's the main downside, the brain demands glucose. This way, I'll soon become a sweet tooth.
— Help! — Without hesitation, my father handed me a glass of water with dissolved sugar. After drinking it, I felt a bit better.
— So, Rudi, let's run the simulation, everything seems normal, — Paul noted, nodding to me. Even though he didn't grasp the science, his role as an assistant was invaluable. He even knew how to fix minor issues and properly set up the equipment, which significantly accelerated our progress.
With a soft puff-puff sound, the ink began to move on its own! It slid and twisted like little snakes, creating intricate shapes in the air.
By the way, yes, I did indeed have chakra in this new body. It was unexpectedly expected, like suddenly finding a long-forgotten pastry in your pocket. This was facilitated by many factors, and I initially believed that my new body in this world possessed this energy.
One day, I tried to get a jar of sugar from the top shelf, and to reach it, I decided to use a "trick" technique. I focused all my energy in my legs, hoping it would help me jump higher. Suddenly my feet stuck to the floor as if glued. The cookie jar I was holding fell and landed right on my feet — the pain was unbearable! I angrily looked down and suddenly realized it wasn't just stickiness, but chakra!
Well, chakra is chakra — nothing surprising, like old slippers that are always nearby.
I thought about my powers... Chakra is a mix of spiritual and physical energy. Even if the body dies, the soul continues to carry spiritual energy. The soul can be considered a carrier of information and energy that is preserved and transmitted between incarnations.
In my new body, unknown but definite changes occurred at the cellular level due to the presence of my soul. One could say that the soul acts as a catalyst that triggers the processes necessary for creating chakra.
This, although not complete, explained the presence of chakra in my new body. Even geometric life forms possessed a soul and could pass their knowledge to the next generations using chakra. After all, it's a mix of physical and spiritual energies... and who would have thought such things exist? Apparently, it's like a universal key that fits all locks.
Chakra has a fundamental ability to connect everything and everyone, regardless of distance, similar to the effect of quantum entanglement but on a much higher level. It acts as a bridge, transmitting information and energy instantly, regardless of limitations like the speed of light. Here you have a superhighway for energy!
So, chakra appeared in my new body thanks to the unobvious properties of my soul. And by the way, my soul is extremely strong and adaptive due to many resurrections and incarnations, starting from Asura Ootsutsuki and ending with the current Rudeus Greyrat.
Who would have thought that this lineage could be so useful? As a descendant of Ootsutsuki, I possess innate spiritual power, which also contributes to my abilities. This explains why, reincarnating in a new world, I could retain my abilities and start a new path...
"My God... Everything is just as it was before," — I thought, "looking" at the simulation of the drawing with puffs and huffs: "The soul never forgets what chakra is and will always find a way to bring it back to reality. It's like riding a bike, once you learn, you'll never forget!"
Now, restoring the inventions of our scientists, I feel like part of this great plan. These mechanisms I create not only facilitate our current tasks but also lay the foundation for further progress. Honestly, sometimes it feels like I'm just playing with a huge adult constructor. But what fun! I'm doing everything possible so we can move forward, regardless of circumstances, and not go crazy from all this technology.
— Paul, Rudi, we brought the necessary materials!
— Miss, let me carry them myself.
— No way! I'm not tired!
The door burst open with a bang, and two women rushed in like children, arguing over who would carry the load. Father hurried to separate them.
— Alright, bring them here! — I said excitedly. Hearing my voice, Zenith and Lilia immediately stopped arguing and approached, carefully placing many ordered parts on the table.
— We obtained these metal parts with great difficulty! — Zenith sighed.
It was hard to explain the purpose of these things to the local blacksmith, which significantly increased the waiting time. In the Fittoa region, where our village of Buena is located, wheat is mainly grown, so extracting metals and other materials here is not easy and expensive. Fortunately, we have the favor of Mr. Ada, the blacksmith, thanks to our soap, paper, pedal grinding machine, and other useful inventions!
You could say I saved his son Somar from slave labor. Turning such mechanisms manually for hours is a tough and thankless task.
Now, under my guidance, the whole family began assembling the parts into one unit. Zenith didn't know all the details of the project, but Lilia and Paul were in the loop. Here it was, a sight that any man would be excited to see — such complex mechanisms!
— This is difficult... — mom murmured, turning one of the parts in her hands as if it were an alien artifact. She frowned, trying to understand how to install it correctly. — These blueprints are so detailed that I start to feel like a chicken...
Lilia nodded tiredly but didn't hurry to leave. Zenith began to handle the parts more confidently, following my instructions, although she sometimes still tried to insert them upside down...
— You go, girl!
After long days of thinking and scientific research, it was finally time to unveil my new invention! We had been assembling it for a week, and it was truly an epic of complexity. The blacksmiths seemed to think they were creating a stove, not a high-tech device. Fixing their inaccuracies, I felt less like an engineer and more like a nurse in intensive care, saving each part.
— Wow! — usually emotionless, Lilia couldn't contain a squeal of happiness, even though she was as tired as after a marathon. Her hair even stood on end. How well I understood her.
Finally, when all the parts were in place, I was overwhelmed with excitement and pride. Yes, I was a little nervous — it's not every day you launch something that can either revolutionize or explode with an epic firework.
— And now, our main star! The steam engine, dattebayo!
I was about to cry. I had been racking my brains over this project for almost five months! Considering that most technologies and materials I was used to in my past life were absent in this world, creating components for the steam engine turned out to be an incredibly challenging task.
The local blacksmiths and swordsmen, accustomed to using so-called "battle spirit" to enhance swords and weapons, completely misunderstood how to realize the potential of metals in mechanical devices.
Moreover, only binary alloys are developed here. Seriously?! Binary alloys, your mother! This seriously limits the choice of materials for creating complex mechanisms. Local metallurgy is at a primitive level, and many metalworking methods considered basic in my world are simply unknown here.
I had to adapt my knowledge and use what was available, but even that required enormous effort and many trials and errors! I consumed tons of sugar while working on this project!
— That's magic! — mom shouted loudly.
— It's not magic! — I yelled in anger!
Magic! Magic in this world dulls the development of smelting and industrial technologies! Instead of looking for efficient ways to process and use metals, these local "aborigines" simply rely on magical artifacts and spells. Yes, it's convenient, but they can't replace full-fledged industrial processes!
We spent almost all the income from soap sales on these things! That's about two Asura gold coins, equivalent to 80,000 ryo. Imagine, that's almost equal to one mission for a chunin ninja or... 500 bowls of ramen! Yes, that much ramen! We could have been swimming in ramen, but instead, we're swimming in parts and blueprints!
If I could, I'd hit someone over the head so they understand that you can't get far without science and technology! But no, they continue to live in their magical bubble. Sometimes I want to scream from anger and helplessness, but instead, I just keep working, proving by deeds that you can achieve much more if you strain your brains a bit and move away from the usual magical approaches.
Seriously, even using gears and stuff like a water wheel is already considered the pinnacle of engineering thought!
— I guess brother Kokuo would be proud of me! — I said aloud in shinobi language. We eagerly shoved wood into the boiler and lit it up! Within five minutes, the pistons started moving up and down.
The power of steam is enormous physical strength, high speed, and unlimited possibilities in engineering! This engine was the embodiment of my engineering thoughts! Of course, for the engineers of the Federation, it's just a toy-puffer, but for this world, it was a colossal breakthrough!
I improved the cylinder and piston design to minimize friction and maximize the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy. Our engine uses the principle of triple expansion, where steam sequentially passes through three cylinders of different sizes, each extracting maximum energy from the steam. This significantly increased the overall efficiency of the engine.
Instead of water, I used a special "chakra" liquid with high heat capacity, which significantly increased the engine's efficiency. Creating this liquid was perhaps the most challenging task. You could say I invented a new water element technique specifically for this. Considering my chakra reserves, I felt like a squeezed lemon after each experiment. The local blacksmiths, seeing my suffering, simply called it "shamanic stuff." One even suggested hanging me as a lucky charm.
— It's so warm! — Lilia carefully tapped the casing, expecting it to be hot, but was surprised to feel its pleasant temperature.
To further improve efficiency, we applied a dual-circuit system. In this system, the first circuit operates at high temperatures and pressures, while the second at lower ones, allowing us to extract additional energy from the steam.
Applying special seals to reduce friction on the surfaces of cylinders and pistons was a real challenge, especially when it turned out we had no proper lubricants. We tried everything — from goose fats to magical oils, but unfortunately, none of these worked.
Yet the pistons moved at a constant speed, and the exhaust pipe released spent steam, indicating the engine's stable operation. Thanks to the condensation system, special "Chakra steam" particles returned to the system, avoiding losses of this valuable liquid. All heat exchange seals and high-thermal-conductivity materials worked as they should, minimizing heat loss and increasing efficiency.
— Look how smoothly it runs, — I said, proudly observing the mechanism's movement.
This engine was crafted with almost jewel-like precision and had relatively small dimensions, making it even more impressive. The local blacksmiths were still scratching their heads over my blueprints, trying to understand how such a number of small parts could fit into such a compact device. Mr. Ada even asked if I had left instructions in the ancient language of mages.
— Rudi, according to your words, this "mechanism" can work for us? — Zenith still didn't grasp the potential of this device, her face and clothes covered in oils and sweat after all the efforts.
— Yes! It can perform hard work without getting tired all day, replace dozens of workers, produce energy for the entire town, and speed up production several times. Imagine that all routine and labor-intensive tasks can be entrusted to it, and people can focus on more creative and complex tasks! This device can lead to a real industrial revolution, improving the lives of everyone around!
To avoid suffering through trial and error, I quickly figured out how to use the Realization technique. Oh, how much nerves and money it saved us! Now, instead of running for new parts every time, we just corrected the projections and drank tea.
According to my calculations, the overall efficiency of the device exceeds 30%! This mechanism is not only efficient but also compact, stable, allowing us to use renewable resources and magic to achieve maximum productivity.
— Th-this thing... — Father froze in amazement, seeing that it indeed worked. The pile of blueprints and calculations I processed finally came to life. Although he knew what we were working on and understood the risks it posed to our family, he only now fully realized the scale of our success. A smile spread across his face.
We decided to test the engine in practice. After turning it off, we went outside. The whole family gathered around, preparing for the great moment.
— Ready? — I asked, standing next to the starter lever. Even after an hour of idle time without fuel, the engine could still run on residual heat.
— Ready! — answered in unison, father, Zenith, and Lilia, all with faces smeared in oil and sweat.
I weakly pulled the lever, and the engine roared, releasing a cloud of steam. The mechanism started, and the pistons began to move at such speed that it seemed they were about to fly into space. At first, everything went smoothly, but then the real show began.
— Oh-oh! Kya! — Zenith screamed when one of the levers suddenly started rotating faster. Oil splashed in all directions, and one of the splashes hit her directly in the clothes, causing her to jump back.
— Hold on! — father heroically shouted, trying to hold down the cover, which started vibrating.
Lilia, who stood to the side with a wrench in hand, tried to tighten one of the bolts, but her wrench flew out of her hands and soared into the air.
— Look at that fountain! Ha-ha-ha! — I couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the steam jet that knocked off the cover and was now shooting upwards like a geyser.
Despite all these moments, the engine kept running, although we forgot to tighten one bolt... But its power was phenomenal! It could indeed perform all the hard work for us. For example, it could easily grind huge piles of grain into flour, which would have taken a day of continuous work for the entire village.
— Well, at least we know it's powerful, — I said, wiping oil from my face and smiling. Everyone laughed, realizing that despite all the difficulties, our experiment was successful.
It was a stunning success.
