A world where couples rule the roost. Steampunk? Not really. An ordinary world in general. Even the story is somewhat similar to ours. It’s just that there are no internal combustion engines here as a class. Our contemporary, and part-time car mechanic, was lucky enough to find himself in just such a world. And... Well, of course, the first thing that came to his mind was to create an internal combustion engine. N-yes. It would seem that everything is simple. But, as you know, nothing happens simply. After all, it may happen that on this path he will meet: a greedy merchant with his henchmen, escaped convicts who do not disdain to feast on human flesh, Honghuzes and prospectors crazy from the gold rush. Go figure it all out. So the inevitable meeting with the thugs of some secret club of admirers of steam engines still looms. Do you think he knows nothing about them? It doesn't matter at all.
