Shen Shi squatted in the machinists' union's assessment workshop, his palms all sweaty.

The copper pipes above the head are blowing out steam, and the entire workshop is so stuffy that people can't breathe. Shen Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at the working steam engine in front of him.
This thing is the last level of today's assessment.
