Let's abuse the reality some more!

'It's working…'

At first, it was but a single, faint, shy thought that permeated through Theo's mind.

Then, his lips trembled. And next…

"It's working."

A mere statement of fact, as simple as it could get.

But for Theo, this moment couldn't be any more grand!

'SHIT!'

Stunned by the consequences of what he had just witnessed, Theo could hardly swallow his saliva down. For but a few moments, all he could do was struggle to stop his eye from twitching.

It worked.

Meaning, he would never have to worry about iron again. Or rather, rather than focusing on how much of it he had stored, he would have to switch his mindset to its throughput.

But as grand as this single machine working was in Theo's mind, for now…

For now, it was but a single miner, with its ability limited to an output of a standard, medieval mine.
