Chương 114: Not-yet golden area

17th April 1574

In the end, while the notification from the system sounded like a solution to all my problems, I hit the same wall I did back when I first used the crafting tool with the beer. But this time, instead of a few handfuls of grain, some fruits and water necessary to make the final product, creating the atmospheric steam engine would require me to provide only about fifty kilograms (110pounds) of iron for the boiler and cylinder tube, twenty kilograms of wood for the cold water container, twenty kilograms of iron for all the miscellaneous parts like pipes, valves and sprinklers and only about three thousand bricks!

But at least there was a tasty topping on this cake made out of bullshit, in form of a complete blueprint, that I could simply redraw on the physical paper to avoid making all sorts of mistakes that I would do by following my gut feeling alone.
