Walking away, the cat heard clanging coming from a building. As it walked towards the building, the sounds became increasingly loud to the point where it would drown out all the surrounding noise.

The cat came up close to the building to then climb along its walls to find its way onto the roof to see a hole extending out of it releasing smoke. A few meters away from that hole was a small entrance, enough for the cat to fit through and land on some high beams.

Entering the building, a wave of heat hit the cat, staggering it, thereby making it almost fall off the beam and onto the floor. However, the cat was able to maintain its balance by jumping off the beam and onto a counter connected to the wall.

Looking towards that sound, the cat saw a huge stone furnace connecting to the ceiling. It also saw a big man wearing an apron, a mask, and holding an iron hammer. The man was completely focused on hitting a thick piece of metal that it did not even notice the cat entering his workspace.

The man repeatedly hit the piece of metal in the same place changing its shape ever so slowly.

After a long time of striking the piece of metal, the man put the hammer on the side and took out some metal clamps. He used the clamps to carefully carry the piece of metal and wrapped it in some material.

After a long while, the man used the clamps to take out the piece of metal and put it on a table. He then used a sharp tool to write something on the sides of the metal. After that, he took the piece of metal and held it sideways onto a spinning wheel causing sparks to fly all over the room.

Eventually, the man took the piece of metal and put it into the furnace. After heating it up, he took out the piece of metal and put it into a large tub of liquid near where the cat was watching. This caused the cat to jump up onto the beams on the ceiling of the room where it continued to watch this man at work.

For what seemed like hours, the man had repeatedly heated up the piece of metal and put it into the tub of liquid until he took out a piece of metal in the shape of a “T” from a cabinet near him.

Following that, he took the metal that he had been cooling in the liquid and connect the “T” shaped piece of metal to that. He frowned and then just put what looked like a completed product onto a shelf near where the cat had been.

He then went to the cabinet, took out a slab of metal, and went back to the stone furnace where it looked like he was going to repeat this cycle.

The cat, hearing this, left through the hole it entered from, not even looking back and went away from this building. As it was leaving the house, it noticed the sun setting before it went back towards the building that looked like a laboratory.
