The group watched with bated breaths as Virtya ordered one of the teenagers to pump water into the steam drum which was located at the top of the boiler. The teenager did what he was ordered to very fast before the combustion chamber was ignited. Virtya was seated on his seat as he observed. His only job currently was just to order the teenagers to do the necessary which was an easy step at this point since they had the engine and what they were only supposed to do was to activate it.
Virtya watched meaningfully. He was calm and composed. Tanya who stood beside him was also watching curiously to see what Virtya had been building was going to do.
Unlike the internal combustion engine which could be started right there and then by igniting the fuel which would generate pressure to push the pistons, the eternal combustion engine was different because it used steam and therefore, the group had to wait for some time for the steam to be generated by boiling the water.
