A steam powered drill requires a steady supply of water to keep running, but at the same time, the water cannot run continuously as the pipe must be extended every few meters. One man is the designated water runner, who drops his tools and hooks up the water hose when the bore runs out of steam.
Japan has taken to its industrial revolution more quickly than any nation before it but is running out of land and resources. After effectively silencing The United States - their only potential competition for dominance of the Pacific Ocean - the steam powered military of the Japanese Empire sets its eyes on China, where the people are forced into slave labor to produce the required metal and fuel for the war machines Japan will use to take over Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas. However, there is a resistance growing in China among the miners.
