24th April 1574
In one instant, the entire crowd of people which turned silent to hear what I had to say, erupted once again in cheers. Even though most of the normal workers were simply happy that the first part of their work was finished, the craftsmen that watched how this machine managed to turn the fire into a movement that didn't require animals to pull on the ropes, couldn't even begin to cheer with how overwhelming this new invention was for them.
Moving the heavy stuff around, lifting the items to higher floors, increasing the airflow in the furnaces… All of the tasks that required a huge group of people to complete now could be done with this newfound power!
But the faces of the miners provided me with the most fun. Without taking part in the entire building process, they had no way of knowing what was happening inside the machine, making it almost impossible for them to understand just how the heck did that monstrosity move!
