A steam engine larger than a house... Isn't that just a toy that can only blow a deafening whistle? Alice tried hard to piece together the fragments of her memories about steam engines and then decided to skip over this topic for now.
She continued to ask Tagg, "So, Mr. Tang Mo, can he supply us with about 70 of these new rifles each month?"
"I can assure you that his production speed might become even faster," Tagg thought for a few seconds and made a statement he believed to be accurate.
Because he knew that on the day he left, Tang Mo had already started building the third steam engine and, judging from the content of the private conversations with Mathews, he felt Tang Mo might build a fourth or even a fifth steam engine.
What he didn't know was that, in fact, Tang Mo was already planning to build seven steam engines at the same time. He planned to reduce the size and increase the technical precision of one, to experiment with some train technology.
