1881: Song of Gears and Ashes

[Western Fantasy + Steampunk + Victoria + Beautiful writing style + Multi-line crossover + Concrete and scientific abilities + Slow but fast pace] This is not a parallel world in our perception, but the real era of steam. No one has ever thought of the changes today... The boiling furnace burns the flesh of the humble furnace worker, and in the clatter of gears, the remaining ashes release dirty souls to wander in New Babylon. Suspended near the center of the sea, these evil spirits sing the national anthem of yesteryear and launch an all-out war on every continent; These include germs, steam, machinery, as well as honor and praise. New London, where the Difference Engine is comprehensive, has developed into an unrealistic situation. Everything is a rigorous prediction believed by scientists, including population, rebellion, weather, and more... Nothing can be separated from thorough scientific results. But at the same time, the price to be paid is even more unimaginable. On the cold aluminum frame and iron bed, people's living brains are cut out to provide fuel for the automatic operation of the difference engine. In the stinky environment, the poor without atomizer masks can only wait to die. So this war is different from every other, just for... Development!
