Hydle walked in, and was amazed by the decorations. But, his mind was on something else right now. He turned to Mag. "Thank you."
"Please take a seat. I'm also quite interested in this kind of stuff." Mag went into the kitchen, poured a glass of water for him, and sat opposite him.
Mag was very familiar with steam engine. His bachelor's thesis had been about the improvement on two-stroke engines. He had proven in theory that the improvement would be able to raise the engine efficiency by 3%. Although it had been impossible in practice, his thesis had resulted in him becoming one of the Outstanding Graduates.
It had been the only thing that he had put his heart and soul into during the four years in university. He had carefully studied the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, and the steam turbine. Of course, he couldn't make one himself, but he was still able to draw a detailed engine diagram—in other words, he could make one with the help of a masterful blacksmith.
