In the steam age, industrial production was not as diverse as it was in the original world before Perfikot crossed over.
The main function of the steam engine invention was to upgrade early handicraft workshops into mechanical factories, turning relatively primitive handicraft production into true industrial production.
The industry most affected was undoubtedly the textile industry. Just as the industrial revolution in the original world began with the enclosure movement and steam-powered looms, industrialization in the Victor Empire also began with the textile industry.
The demand for machinery brought about by industrialization also gave rise to the machinery manufacturing industry, promoting a virtuous cycle of industrial development.
