Iarann just stares at the watchbot before asking. "How do you stay floating?" (assistingawarmachine)
"In a very interesting way, my dear sir. In fact, my creator derived a special kind of fuel specifically for his watch bots when he was constructing them. Me, alongside them. The fuel is in fact compressed in a delicate way, so it is under enormous pressure. I actually have a combustion motor inside, and when fuel enters the combustion chambers, it not only incinerates, but the rapid increase of its volume effectively pushes the pistons with even more power. Unfortunately, that means I have to go for refueling. Every - couple of weeks or so - not that I would need to leave his laboratory anyway, hehe…
Viktor has considered other types of energy resources for his creations as well - he prefers renewable energy sources believe it or not - but when was the last time you saw sun in Zaun? Felt wind here? The smog isn’t staying in the city for no reason at all. And we have only one slow, oily and polluted dale river. Not very promising.
But if you were going to ask about exactly how this fuel is made, you must be an optimist, expecting from one of Viktor’s machines to sell out his secrets… assistingawarmachine a-zuanite-weaponsmith
