During Feng Jun's recuperation, he sent fifty Boiler Engines to the Phone Plane.
Through Lang Zhen and the others' efforts, more than thirty had already been sold.
The average price of a Boiler Engine generator was kept at around twenty taels of gold, nearly a tenfold profit.
However, lamps, wiring, switches, power strips, and similar items were sold separately.
To Feng Jun's surprise, the Boiler Engines sold exceptionally well. The Mi Family of Origin Vast Prefecture alone bought five—three for their own use and two as gifts. A total of just one hundred taels of gold; truly cheap.

But... diesel engines were convenient. They were quieter, produced less smoke, and were easier to operate. Just pull the cord and they started. Unlike Boiler Engines, they required attention to pressure; too much pressure had to be released, and the water used had to be distilled. They were inconvenient in all sorts of ways.
