A steam engine converts the energy from steam into mechanical power.
Simply put, you boil water and use the expanding steam to push a piston.
Once you understand the principles and structure, the most crucial part of building one is precision.
In the past, the blacksmiths of this world would have been incapable of such a task. But things were different now. With Ronin and Sophia, two Magic Masters who possessed the Fire Attribute, it was possible to use Spiritual Power and Magic to create high-precision components. Combined with Simon's casting abilities, the project was completely feasible.
"It can propel a ship's paddles, just like Magic Energy Power. But by comparison, Magic Energy Power consumes far too many resources and is much less convenient."
Simon held the blueprints, his expression one of disbelief. "But your steam engine consumes common fuel. Even charcoal will work."
